Gym Class Memories

 Some more memories “back to school” advertisements for requisite PE class equipment, jockstraps included.   The ad indicating supporters for boys with as small as 20″ waists reminds us that some schools mandated PE uniforms with jocks for grade school boys as young as 3rd and 4th grade.  And for those of you wanting to buy one of those 15 cent BIKE jocks, sorry I suspect they are sold out!

 I've acquired hundreds of vintage newspaper advertisements listing PE uniforms. If there is interest I can post many more. (Note the school supply list showing the jockstrap requirement for 4th graders. Some schools started boys in supporters at age 8)
