Ken, I also did the Catholic school circuit, and ran into my share of Nunzillas. Specifically Sister Martha Louise. I'm surprised I still have my ears considering how often they'd be pulled as I was dragged to the principal's office. :)
From the GREAT Death Cab for Cutie song "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," off of the Plans (2005) album (one of the year's best):
"In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule, I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black, And I held my tongue, as she told me 'Son fear is the heart of love,' So I never went back."
