It’s always fun to look back at old pictures and see how much you’ve changed. Your hair might be different, you might have a new style, you might have even grown into your head that people used to say was too big for you.

But what’s really interesting is comparing the old yearbook photos. Did you know that New Providence didn’t have girls sports in the early 70s? Looking back through the old yearbooks, that came as quite a shock, especially since many girls nowadays can’t imagine not competing in a sport.

Below are photos of athletes from the 70s, 80s, and 90s compared to the 2021 athletes. The older photos were taken directly from the yearbooks, provided by the media center, and the newer photos were taken by Devin Lippman.
