Another Saturday night and he’s got his buddies. And some sunshine. That’s how the RFH ball, or prom, or just plain dressed-up night or day out rolled back in the 1970s.

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.
