I loved field hockey!
Same thing with my jr. high and the showers. Our gym suits were blue, too, but made of stretchy fabric, with blue bottoms and a horizontally striped top. Zipped up the front. Hated them. Plus, it was a culture shock because I moved from Chicago to an Arkansas town with 300 people when I was 11, and then in jr. high we moved to a town with 15,000 people--and gym suits. ?? I don't think anyone had gym suits in the schools my brothers went to in Chicagoland.

And we thought Mrs. Brewer was into girls because she insisted on watching us shower. :P And had no sympathy if you started your period and did not come prepared. I was so glad I didn't start my period until I was in 10th grade and at the high school.
