Historical photo

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

Interesting pic. Them PA gals are a bit homely:) I like the rifle 3rd from the left

The low wall gal on the far right is almost scary looking. Cool photo!

If a gal has a gun and knows how to shoot, I will be the last one to call her homely or anything else for that matter, lol.

YIKES !!! Only way them "Gals" could get a date is with them rifles and if their Daddys had 40 gallon stills.

Reckon they knew what faux fur was?

Great old photo but the all have similarities to my great grandma.
Ugly/manly.

Really look like a fun loving bunch

Did anybody ever smile in the "good old days"?

That was before Charmin!

One suggestion is to start numbering you Historical photos.
That one jacket sure looks like some species of animal that may be banned now

at least most were safe firearm handling

I wonder what that fur is? That first one on the left reminds me of Rudy, from Notre Dame.

Dudes.

She's wearing a stank-mudcat

Girls have come a long ways!

You like the rifle - you gotta marry the fe-fe'

Couple of them look like serial killers.
One in the middle isn't too bad.

That's one of the 3 stooges

LOL,

Larry?

That's hard to look at

You'd have to flour sack most of them and blow out the candles.

Take a lot of whisky to make that bunch purty.

She can shoot the eye out of a crow at 1000 yards!

No, it took so long to take a photo any fun that produced a smile was gone by the time it was over.

I think the one on the far right is Keith Richards.

That’s Keith Richards.

lol beat me to it.

Woof

That's what I thought at first, but then I realized it was the lead singer from The Cure.

Hey

Don't Dis' the Cure!^^^

The one in the middle is so homely her daddy bought all the rest of the ladies guns.
So she could hang out with them.

JMO

Looks like even back then they had guys tryin to get on the girls sports teams.

Her folks prolly had to tie a pork chop round her neck just so the dogs would play with her. She prolly runs as well as she shoots!

The one second from the left could be Lurch's mum. Those gals from that generation looked 40 when they were 18.

That one on the far right looks to be 6 ft or better. She is standing in a ditch. She looks kinda sultry.

Hahaha

Cool story , 330 !
Thanks !

Them gals is so ugly,,they stuck em in a corner and fed them with a slingshot. LOL,,interesting story.

Thank you for sharing!

At least 1 of em looks like a ringer to me.
Could be wrong though, maybe they were qualified for competition by a REAL Dr. back then

More like Bob Dylan

... you sure it wasn't this creep ?

Hey now, there could very well be someone's grandma in that photo. And I'd be willing to guess that there ain't any of you passing judgement that won any beauty contests yourselves.

If so,,,I would like to have some of the Grandpas whiskey.On second thought,,,maybe not.

The article says those were "the prettiest Lassies on campus"LOL.

Been to the walmart lately?Actually,they are better looking than 90% of Canadian fe'fe's

I'm a 4 except at Walmart I'm a solid 8!
