Gym uniforms

We were supposed to shower before we went into the pool.

It never bothered me to take a shower with all the guys. It just never entered my mind.

I enjoyed showers because at home all we had was a bathtub. I hated that. Sitting in the dirty water and not being able to rinse off.
 

I actually have my grandmother's phys ed uniform from 1913 when she was in the 8th grade at a girls' school. It's a navy blue sort of dotted swiss one-piece bloomer suit with a collar and cap sleeves that buttons down the front. There is a knee-length skirt that buttons onto the bloomer suit. She said they wore long navy blue stockings and canvas shoes.
