I have read your message about your annual junior school physical examinations.
I presume that it was the same set up each year of junior school betwenn about 11 to 14 age ?
I find funny but not so surprising that it took place in the school hall with screens to let doctors and nurses perform the exams but not a real exam room.
If I have well understood, you were all a class of about 20 boys sent down in the hall and instructed to undress and leave your clothes on benches. Fortunately it was not naked !
but in just vests (for the boys who wore one) and underwears ( at my school it would have been always in just underwears, we were never allowed to keep our vests !)
After the first year since you knew the set up of the physical examination, I presume that most of the boys wore a vest because they could feel less undressed than just in underwear .
And you might wait until being called by a nurse and after your exam you might wait in just underwears or vests and underwears that every boy had been examined to dress again, until that you might stayed undressed in plain view of everybody walking by the school hall. I was submitted to the same rule at my own yearly school physical examinations, we might undress in just briefs ( no vests allowed!) all together immediately after entrance in the locker room and wait in briefs until each boy had been examined. The reason to stay in briefs was never explained to us but I believe that it was to keep us quiet and more obedient to instructions of supervisors and to respect equality between the boys as regards exposure undressed either you were in the first to be examined or in the last ones ! I agree that it was more equal and a good rule!
It was funny to think how unfait it was for boys of 13 or 14 age to sit on benches in just underwears while many persons were coming in the hall , like you said school secretaries, caretakers, classes of boys or girls, teachers, and girls monitors to take messages from class to class
You are certainly right to suspect these girls to enjoy seeing boys undressed even if it was not stark naked ! It lasted a long time before all boys were examined, so it gave them a lot of opportunities to come in the school hall.
And I imagine the embarrassment of boys who had to walk back from the examination area in just underwears and saw that there was a few girls to watch at them before they took again their place on the benches, and still more embarrassing was the presence of girls in the school hall when you arrived and were told to undress quickly and sit on benches in front of giggling girls. I presume that they knew perfectly that you would come to undress in the school hall and chose to be present for the fun.
Do you know if girls were examined in the same way undressing also in the school hall ?
I presume that the answer is that it was different for hers.
Anyway it could have been worse with complete nudity required in the hall ; or a bad protection behind the screens which would have left every body passing by see you examined by a side ?
