RFH girls’ night at home circa late 1970s/early ’80s Photo/Leslie Gunther
What do you get when you put a gaggle of RFH girls in a flowery ’70s wallpapered kitchen with a nouveau push-button wall phone? A girls’ night — starring the phone. We’re not saying that was the case here, just imagining. Follow us in this inspired daydream into the past. Hey, there was such a thing — a girls’ night starring that phone.

The sun has made an appearance or two lately, even though there are still a few snow piles standing, but it’s now back to rain, thunder and, yes, dank days. And people, like cooped-up RFH students are likely stir crazy and ready to make a break for it and ride out of bleak winter blues and into warm sunsets. Incognito or not.

A double-dose special basketball court cheer reprise, because the RFH champs are at it again … and this is a real slam dunk!
Yes, it’s basketball season at RFH. And on March 6, the RFH Boys Basketball team became the state Central Group II Sectional champs. Now, that win earned some major cheers. But, have you ever seen a lovelier bunch of cheerleaders as the guys in this classic?

There’s one in every class — a class clown. And when the school days are chilly and dismal and students’ silly energies are pent up indoors, clowning around becomes an art form.
At RFH back in the 1970s, the art was taken to an extreme one fine, dull day. Not that we’re encouraging any antsy RFH students who may be a little bored and have the itch to engage in some mischievous antics …

When the stinging wintry chill still pierces the air and rainy, dank days continue in the week’s forecast, the time is right for a Retro Pic of the Day reprise classic to take you back to Senior Commons lounging days with a little backgammon on the side … or something.
What’s an RFH student to do when the studying mood hasn’t struck and the weather stinks? Hang out in the Senior Commons and play backgammon, of course. Or something like that.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mom,” longtime Rumson resident, real estate agent, wife, grandmother and great-grandmother as well, Ann Doran, on Feb. 21. Just eight days shy of her 96th birthday, Ann was 95.

Raise your plastic cups and party on! It’s time for a little chill and retro toast to the impending weekend of breaking out of all the snow and taking the snap out of the cold snap with the warmth of some RFH guys of the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Snowy days — or, rather, snow avalanche of late — bring back memories of winters past and how RFHers of yesteryear found some simple fun pretty fast when the school bell didn’t ring … or it did, but there was an escape to a thrill of a hill.
