Detention sheets issued to Beatles legend John Lennon when he was a school boy will soon be auctioned online.
The documents uncover Lennon's antics at Quarry Bank High School for Boys in Liverpool where he was renowned as a "class clown", reported The Telegraph.
Reasons for punishment given by his teachers include sabotage, fighting in class, nuisance, shoving and just no interest whatsoever.
On two occasions, Lennon even managed to receive three detentions in one day.
The sheets cover the periods when he was in Class 3B between May 19 and June 23 1955, and in Class 4C from November 25 1955 to February 13, 1956. His surname is written by a teacher on the top left corner of each page.
They were from a class detention book that was rescued from a bonfire at the school in the late 1970s, say auctioneers TracksAuction.Com.
The sheets have been authenticated by Lennon's close school friend, Pete Shotton, who wrote a book 'John Lennon: In My Life'.
Peter Beech, Lennon's general science teacher at the time, said, "The sheet is typical of John Lennon, he was an extremely cheeky boy. He did, however, know his limits. In the classroom, if you settled John down, you generally settled the class down. His chemistry teacher Eric Oldman said that John could actually go far."
The detention sheets are estimated to fetch between 2,000 pounds and 3,000 pounds. Online bidding at TracksAuction.Com starts on November 22 and the auction concludes with a live online sale beginning on December 1.
Other items in the Beatles memorabilia sale are a signed White Album, expected to fetch between 60,000 pounds and 80,000 pounds, handwritten lyrics to an unpublished 60s song by Sir Paul McCartney and an unpublished Lennon sketch.
