On [[1 April]] [[1963]], Dudley was given detention for looking up girls' skirts. He and the other students on detention that afternoon (Susan Foreman, [[Gillian Roberts]], [[Joe Gibson]] and three other boys) were tasked with removing the ice from the school buildings. Mr [[Okehurst]] supervised the detention, and ordered Susan and Gillian to go up ladders with blowtorches, to remove the ice from the gutters. He insisted that Dudley should ''not'' hold the ladder. Unfortunately, the ice was animated by [[the Cold (Time and Relative)|the Cold]]. After Susan and Gillian attempted to melt it, it rose up and killed Dudley, Joe, the other boys, and Mr [[Okehurst]]. Only Susan and Gillian escaped. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time and Relative (novel)|Time and Relative]]'') | On [[1 April]] [[1963]], Dudley was given detention for looking up girls' skirts.
