Seems like an appropriate topic for this sex-obsessed season.
Keep in mind that 7th grade was, for me, 1958 or so. Also, I was in catholic school. Pubic mounds and butt cracks were rarely on display back then. 
Thongs were worn on the feet.

They do now.
I don’t do it now. :eek: :o
And that’s an “embarrassed” smiley, not “fellatio”.
Seeing as how I wasn’t even alive in 1958, nor would I be for another 27 years, I can speak for 7th graders during my day. It’s really quite simple, if they’re wearing a skirt, they know people will be looking.
Well I’m only ten years than you Duder, but I wouldn’t have realized it.
What I don’t understand is how boys can peek up girls’ skirts. I mean, it’s not like we’re walking around on mirrored floors (well, I can’t comment for everyone, of course). How does one accomplish aforesaid peekage? Drop a pencil and look up while you’re picking it up? I just can’t imagine how this works.
Dropping something and picking it up is one thing used, in my middle school days. I’ve also heard of people using tiny mirrors attached to their shoes in public restrooms, or a cam-corder with it’s lens popping out of the top of a sports bag that they can place on the ground and use to capture what lies beneath the skirt.
heh girls sit. Some girls wear short skirts and don’t cross their legs. A good old fashioned pencil drop works. Some girls not only don’t close their legs but sit with them open you don’t even need to get into a weird pencil drop positions to look up theirs.
Wait…er I mean I have no idea how a person would look up a skirt. THat’s gross.
Think Molly Ringwold in Breakfast Club.
Or read Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?
If I had to guess, since I wouldn’t know…
If they're short enough, stairs. Open Stairwell, look up.
Miniskirts....usually the pencil gag or dropping something and bend over.
You're getting into creepy territory in my mind if you go to the mirrors on the shoes.I’ve never actually seen anyone put mirrors on his shoes. And my group was pretty creepy. We all talked about the mirrors though.
Bleachers were pretty cool, but you always got caught.
I remember 1958 very well. There was a danger to becoming adept at catching females sitting in an exposed position. The danger was that old ladies are bad about sitting in a very exposed position. In 1958 the term “beaver” was not in use yet, and so we called it “squirell hunting”.
Oh, and to answer the OP. Sometimes they did and sometimes they didn’t.
From m-w;
“4 usually vulgar : the pudenda of a woman”. 
No date for this useage.
Now what sounds more vulgar, beaver or pudenda.
Anyway, I seem to remember “beaver cheaters” from pretty early on.
Beaver cheaters were long-legged panties that went about half way to the knees, and often had ruffles. I don’t remember the reak name.
Of course they knew. It’s why their mothers all told them to sit with their knees together and ankles crossed.
Back in grade school we would con the girls into using the monkey bars. Quite effective.
Just get the essence of what you are looking at and don’t stare all day or you will get caught and get the dreaded snarl…WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
Hmm, I wonder if the easy availability of Internet porn to youngsters these days isn’t actually an IMPROVEMENT…
“I see London, I see France, I see Parental’s underpants!”
Uh oh! :eek:
Ok, stop laughing at me.
