Physical Education Lesson

We liked our Physical Education lessons in school.

In the 60’s and early 70’s there was no PE lesson for girls taught by lady teachers. PE for the boys and girls were taught by the same male teachers.

Nowadays, the girls are being taught by female teachers and the boys by male teachers.

Anyway, we truly enjoyed our PE lesson those days.

When I was in Form Four, PE lesson was taught by a male teacher. He was a hunk. His body, was then like David Hesselhorf of “Bay Watch”. Whew! Tall, dark and handsome.

“Ok, what would you like to play today?” he asked us.

“Rugby, sir. Competition between the girls and the boys!”

“Now, two lines please. The boys on my right and the girls on my left.”

“Once, I blow on the whistle, you start playing.”

“Pheee …….wheeet “

Scrum, pushed, kicked, pulled, screaming and cursing.

Anyway, the boys won. We had fun during the game. But it was sheer competition. Nobody took advantage of the situation. We really fought hard and lost. They (the boys) really fought hard and won. Fair and square.

CIKGUTANYA: If we let the girls and the boys play together today, there will be a lot more babies under the banana tree or at the garbage dump. What say you?
