KAY B Member Registered: 05/14/05 Posts: 243 Loc: Long Island, New York	I was on the way to the mall this morning & the high school gym glass was outside. Boy have the uniforms come along way since we wore them!!! When I got to jr high we were given uniforms. The ones from years & years ago!!! Then they came out with the polyester ones It wasn't fair that the boys got to wear shorts & school tee shirts!!! I don't miss gym class or the uniforms!!!

Burgundy, one-piece with huge inflated-looking bloomers, crumply cotton, impossible to keep looking ironed...and to think that we used to have to go running outside in that monstrosity!

The waist on the uniform never conformed to my waist. I hated them. I was constantly pulling at it trying to make it fit right. Our school had the same unfair practice, letting the boys wear a school t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Are schools still having gym class? I thought they dropped that practice when they dropped recess for elementary school?

KAY B Member Registered: 05/14/05 Posts: 243 Loc: Long Island, New York	Here in NY they still have gym class. AKA: phys ed class! I'm not sure about recess tho. We live behind an elementary school & we hear them in the mornings. And of course at lunchtime. In the springtime they have gym class outside, I can hear the coach. (my what a sexy voice!!) I always go past the high school & see the football players practicing. Once I saw this young man & thought "Is he good looking!" & then I realized I could get arrested!!! LOL I still feel young enough to look!

NHJackie Member Registered: 09/22/05 Posts: 868 Loc: Merrimack, NH	I remember those hideous gym uniforms quite well. Far the worst was the bloomers and see-through white blouse we were forced to wear when I was in 7th grade -- fortunately, at an all girl's school. The local school district does requre PE at least through 8th grade. I think there's even a one semester requirement in hs. No uniforms, though. Just sneakers and comfotable play clothes. The middle school kids all bring a change of clothes, but the little ones don't. At least, that's the way it was when I retired from teaching 4 years ago.

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	I HATED wearing a gym uniform too.....I was TERRIBLY tall and thin and it was just miserable wearing those big baggy-legged, one-piece uniforms! It was tough enough back in those days trying to develop a positive self-image without having to wear those hideous things....LOL

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Ours was one-piece (short sleeves and shorts) royal blue cotton that always needed ironing. Buttons and a belt. I was neither skinny nor fat, short nor tall, but still looked terrible in that uniform. I think they were supposed to be ugly. To this day I hate royal blue.
