Reprise! Just because it’s that time of the year to play ball! And girls played ball, too! We take you back to a game of some sort on the field with the girls, except Nancy Welchel, of course. She was the only girl who played on the boys’ team. We’re pretty sure she pitched in on the field for the girls, too!

Baseball season is upon us. We’ve taken you out to the RFH boys ball game. Now we’re taking you to the girls’ version of playing the field.

This may not be an official RFH game, by virtue of the lack of uniforms, not to mention lack of girls on the team in those days, but it’s all about the girls this time … and having fun playing the field … and a little ball.

So, the Retro Pic of the (George) Day takes us back to old time 1970s days of a little improvised ball game time at RFH.

Looks like Amy Connor pitching. Who’s the teacher on the sidelines?

No dugout here. The girls are just benched before getting up to bat. The girls on the bench. Hmmmmm. Some of them were girls on the beach in that 1970s RFH Freshmen Follies pose. Can you name the benched?

Thanks, once again, to the fabulous George Day for yet another classic pic!
