The showers in school was on the way out by the mid-70's.

By graduation in the early 80's gym class was optional, or just a participation grade at best. And really, you couldn't blame kids for not wanting to go near locker rooms. The locker room was nothing but a bully fest and dangerous, especially after they made the rule that no adult was allowed to enter the locker room.

Remember the towel snap, that could sting...

Hope there's no perv in the locker room taking pics with his cell phone. We had a case like that here but at a YMCA.

I assume this was a copypasta but gym class is still mandatory in this state. Only students in band or students who play a sport don't have to take it, since they got plenty of exercise in those activities.
