P.E. period was from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Thursdays. You were supposed to wear your white uniform for P.E. – forgetting to do so meant that you weren’t allowed into assembly and lost out on your patriotic right to sing Vande Mataram and recite “Where the mind is without fear” at the top of your shrill, tone-deaf voice. The stated purpose of these white uniforms was to make you look more athletic, but personally I think it was just to ensure that the bulk of the students went back with sufficiently impressive amounts of real estate on their pants to convince even the most cynical parent that they were, in fact, getting a well-rounded education.
Falstaff has a self-proclaimed ‘long, rambling, self-indulgent post’ on sports from his school years. A fun read.
