Group looks too larger for typical physical education class. Taking attendance might be challenging. If they all use the same locker room and showers, it would probably be a bit crowded

Many schools emphasized cleanliness for all students before entering the swimming pool. Several authors have described their experience as freshmen entering the pool for their required PE swimming class.

This high school yearbook posted photos of the daily PE classes. Poor images but should bring back memories of being either a student or PE teacher. Note there are 7 vertical rows indicating the 7 class periods. There were probably 2 PE teachers, one having the boys on the left and the other on the right. The school where I taught had between 12 to 16 boys in each class and only 4 classes per day, but the photo reminds me of my student teaching year where 30+ was the norm. It was impossible to accomplish what was expected of a teacher (particularly a student teacher) in the 55 minute class period. 5 minutes after the final bell we had to take attendance and check uniforms, including jock checks (and included cup checks at schools which required them).

Judging by hairstyle this looks like some recruits enjoying some exercise. PT Instructor seems to be doing a good job in getting the legs held at 6" above the floor. I can almost hear the orders: "Raise em..Spread em..Together..Spread em again. Ah. the weight of combat boots Anyone have ideas regarding the water on the floor? Too much to be sweat. Besides the recruits have doffed their BDU shirts and their trousers are unbloused. They simply look too comfortable for having endured a sweat-down party. Note: The second photo is poor in quality but should bring memories of doing the leg lifts in school PE classes.
