Weekly History: the Cardozo High School rifle team, 1922

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

This week’s Weekly History post is on an unusual team: the Cardozo (then called Central) High School girls rifle team, who were apparently pretty good — see the trophy.

Pretty sure there aren’t any rifle teams in the city anymore, and they’re pretty rare in general in schools these days, maybe because people are worried about school safety. It’s also funny to see the old timey clothes like the bloomers.
