(AFP) School files detailing the adolescent wrongdoings of "class-clown" John Lennon fetched nearly £8,500 each in an online auction on Sunday.
The pair of detention sheets revealed that the Beatle received punishment for "fighting in class", being a "nuisance", "shoving" and showing "no interest whatsoever" during his time at Quarry Bank High School for Boys in Liverpool, northwest England.
The counter-culture icon twice managed to accumulate three detentions in one day, according to files kept on Lennon during the 1955-1956 school year, when he was 15 years old.
Both documents sold for £8,437 ($13,815, 10,170 euros) in the auction held by TracksAuction.com, a firm based in northwest England.
