Old History photo # 242

1925 Drexel Institute Girls’ Rifle Team. Philadelphia, USA.

Some pretty serious looks there.

I wouldn't mess with them,

Maybe its Maybelline

Well at least nobody will hate then for being beautiful!

I sure would like to have one of those 1922 Springfield 22's!

Well

Nobody is stopping you from making a copy and cutting one out for your collection.

Look NO blonds!!!!!!!!

Looks like a few boys were allowed on the girls team way back then.

Those gals look a little shady. Especially the one on the right.

Don’t be so hard on them 4 of the 7 are wearing fur.

I would not have doubted the title had it read mob wives or girlfriends.

For sure!

The young lady third from the right has her shoes on the wrong feet? Overall, fine photo!

Jack

I'd like to find a clip for mine! Mines a Savage of some sort.

Truth

You been spending too much time in the corn field. Clearly that ravishing beauty in the center was that year's Miss America contestant.............thus the source of the term......"centerfold".

Judging a book by the cover, they definitely appear to weigh heavy to one end of the crazy/hot matrix. But if they shoot they can't be all that bad, right?

How we have changed in 100 years! Each team member had a different rifle, with no scopes etc. etc. They used what was available and affordable to enjoy what they wanted to do. Today those firearms would probably all the same and tweaked to the max and the real question would be, do we enjoy the experience that much more and also how much more exlcusive is our process to make a team today?

Bryce

These guys care picky White! lol

The middle one or the one on the left are ok by me. There are a couple there that you wouldn't want it be known tho!

Three of them to make one American fat girl. Olive oil in fur, what's wrong with that?

wws

she's yours then Ken

Leave it to a trapper (Gulo) to note details........ shoes on wrong feet.... Details...details

Looks like a pretty rough crowd!

At least none of those young ladies is 3 axe handles wide across the backside . . . .

Didn't walleye get a bunch of grief for saying the basketball chicken was unattractive recently?

That one in the cheetah print is scary!

Savells First girlfriend

Drexel Institute students . That family really stepped up and did a lots of good with their fortune . Catherine founded countless schools for Blacks and Indians . The institute was her uncles charity . She was one of the first native born Americans to be canonized by the Catholic Church .

I'm in love

why has not anyone noticed the right hand girl has a real cat full length coat = big dollars even then

and it is true that I'm not the only one that wraps the broken gun together with cloth a trick I learned from 160users dad

1) Because we're still busy trying to figure out which famous female serial killer she later ended up being.

2) Because they invented duct tape in the 1950s.

Obviously the Drexel Institute did not teach fashion or hair dressing......

Here’s some more history behind the photo and the sad part of the program.
