The Beatles singer John Lennon apparently wasn't an advocate of peace and love in high school.
Detention sheets from Liverpool's Quarry Bank High School for Boys, to be auctioned later in November, show the antics of a 15-year-old Lennon from the Beatles.
A pair of the late Beatle's detention sheets show him being punished for "fighting in class," "shoving" and being a general nuisance. Detention papers from John Lennon's high school years reveal that the Beatle had a naughty side.
"He was getting multiple detentions. Detentions all the time, up to three in one day, and they are really interesting documents. It just adds to what I'd read in the past and confirms that he was not that interested in school," said Jason Cornthwaite, valuer at TracksAuction.com. The sheets from Quarry Bank High School for Boys in Liverpool are to be sold online by TracksAuction.com later this month.
One of the sheets says Lennon showed "just no interest whatsoever" in school. The company said Monday that the detention sheets date from 1955 and 1956.
Despite his poor school record, Lennon went on to co-write some of the most memorable pop songs in music history.
Lennon became the member of legendary British rock group The Beatles and he was murdered in New York in 1980.
