@Trevor I graduated HS in '92. My P.E. coach was also an old school type that required jock straps in class.
We had unannounced 'jock checks'.

Several ways. One was just a random visit to the locker room while we were suiting up to see if we put them on.
The other was that we all got in a line with our legs spread wide to make a tunnel. Someone in our class was told to get on his hands and knees and crawl through the tunnel. The ceiling of the tunnel wasn't very high because our legs were spread wide in order to lower our balls toward the ground and the head of the tunnel rat. We would hear a painful grunt from whoever's balls were hanging and got hit by the tunnel rats head. If you didn't want your dangling nuts to be struck, you would want to have a jock strap on for every class.

We had to line up in the locker room after changing into our gym clothes and when the coach walked by you had to pull a leg strap down out of the leg of your gym shorts so he could see that you were wearing one. This was no problem because the Soffe gym shorts we wore that were bright green and emblazoned with the school logo were the basically same shorts that military guys call 'Ranger Panties' and had really short legs.
If we were playing baseball we had to wear a cup in our jock and we had to 'thump our cup' so he would know we were wearing one.

I heard from one of my friends who went to another high school that for their 'jock checks' they had to line up facing the lockers and drop their shorts, basically 25 teenboys mooning the coach.
That's sort of like us being watched as we got dressed.I heard from one of my friends who went to another high school that for their 'jock checks' they had to line up facing the lockers and drop their shorts, basically 25 teenboys mooning the coach.

In my high school the P.E. teacher/ coach's office had a huge plate glass window into the locker room so they could all sit in the office and watch us get dressed.
Mine also had that window. It had a commanding view into the showers.
Just depends on the area. I graduated in 89 and the school I went to for 5th to 8th grade was a "Middle School".

I'd guess that window is still there, the high school I attended was built in 1976 and is still in use today.
Completely agree. Boys now literally have no idea what they're missing: the camaraderie of being in jocks and stripping down to shower in the communal shower, all while joking and around and towel-flipping each other. At my school, only the sports boys wore jocks, not the regular PE guys like me, but they were still seen. Such a shame for boys to lose all of that. Now they're scared to death to be seen in underwear. Sigh.

Now I am curious, one of my old high school buds is now the football coach there. I am going to stop by to see him one day and find out if that window is still there in his office. LOL
I will probably have to call and make an appointment to come see him. You can't just drop in to see someone anymore. Damn place is locked up tighter than Fort Knox and you can only go in through the front door past the cops and metal detectors.
Yeah...it's odd. My brother---who went through the exact same type of PE setup as everyone's described above along with me---recently remarked that his two sons were both into the "towel dance". And he couldn't figure out where they got that attitude from---since it wasn't from him. But then, his boys didn't have mandatory PE anymore in either middle-school or high school.

I'd actually be surprised if any of it is still there. Since PE doesn't seem to be required in many states anymore, many of the older high schools that I've seen have converted the old locker rooms to other uses.

I know the coach's office is still there. The same locker room we used for P.E. was used by the sports teams and I know they still have football, basketball, baseball, and soccer teams.
I can't imagine not having P.E., that was my favorite class when I was in junior high and high school!
Some of the renovations that I've seen have made the new team locker areas much smaller (and all the old coach's offices and the "windows" are gone)...and the showers are no longer communal, but more like rows of shower stalls at the gym. Sad, really.
I can't say that PE was my favorite class...LOL!...but it sure was an experience that I'm glad that I had. I made some good friends there, and It also made it a lot easier when I went away to college and lived in the dorms.
