Reply to comment by madhatmatt2 in Diocese of Worcester: Credible Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minor by Priest by MassInsider

I graduated 16 years ago and we had a Phys Ed teacher that would watch us shower and make you dry off with paper towels in front of him if you forgot a towel. Is that still a thing?

Honestly, all the gym teachers were hella-weird like that...

Also I'm pretty sure I recall hearing about one gym teacher who unfortunately committed suicide. Wouldn't surprise me if SJ's culture drove him to that...

You might be talking about Coach Thomas. I’m not sure how he passed but it fits in with the timeline. Coach T was the man though, I was gonna say he was the only one I never heard any of that shit about.

…and another ex marine who later went on to become some sort of Dean of Discipline there. Violence/physical intervention was never more than a moment away with that one.

I remember that guy. He once freaked out and gave me detention cuz my hair wasn't short enough for the dress code. It was literally almost a damn buzz cut.

Dude was a power tripping psychopath.

No they put individual stalls in the shower rooms. I do remember my older brother talk about that though.

They did? Damn, I remember those showers being crowded communal spaces. Good times...
