Our reflections this week of the pain and pride that exudes — sometimes in the most peculiar pronouncements — from students at class picture time have so far taken us back to a couple of classic Rumson and Fair Haven elementary school group shots from the 1970s.
Now, in honor of the upcoming 100th birthday of likely the only living member of the Rumson High School Class of ’35, here’s a glimpse back to those times and that tiny high school class.
Carfentanil and Cyclopropyl Fentanyl, two fatally-potent synthetic drugs, have been recovered for the first time in Monmouth County, Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said.

Happy haunting Halloween from the RFH Class of ’78!
Who are those guys and ghouls?
Thanks to George Day for these timeless photos!
Five years ago people piled onto the Sea Bright municipal parking lot to get and give help in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
It was the year that Halloween wasn’t. It was 2012 and Superstorm Sandy had pummeled the Jersey Shore. It decimated Sea Bright and destroyed low lying parts of Rumson. Fair Haven was a bit war torn and powerless.
Beach cabanas landed like Dorothy’s house to the Witch of the East on West Park lawns. Boats were hoisted by surging water onto dock tops and back yards. Gunning Island, in the Shrewsbury River, was loaded with the moored belongings of Sea Bright and Rumson people. Trees were downed. Transformers exploded.
Sea Bright residents were homeless. The beach was in the road. Sea Bright Rising began with some good-hearted burger flipping by Woody’s owner Chris Wood and chef Onofrio Moscato. The U.S. Army National Guard was parked in the Sea Bright municipal lot. There was no electricity.
There was a curfew. At nightfall, people scurried back into their homes, if there was anything left to go home to, like moles burrowing into cold, still night. Things were awfully dark. And Halloween was cancelled. There was no treat in Sandy’s trickery, just in the kindness of those who were good neighbors.
Take a look back … (and click to enlarge).

Well, scary season is upon us. I’m not talking about politics, I’m talking about Halloween.
RFHers have been celebrating Halloween for decades. It’s a tradition.
Today was the RFH Halloween parade, which is in the halls, on the grounds and sometimes spilling elsewhere.
So, the Retro Pic of the (George) Day honors the RFH Halloween parade with a look back on one in the 1970s.
Recognize any of these guys and ghouls?
Thanks to George Day for this haunting look back at Halloween RFH style!
With Halloween falling on a Tuesday this year, many parties and events are planned for the weekend; and local and state police, in cooperation with the Monmouth County DWI Task Force, will be conducting three DWI checkpoints, one of which is slated for tonight into Saturday morning in Red Bank.
The checkpoint will be set up in the Salvation Army parking lot on Newman Springs Road from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Drivers headed westbound will be directed into the lot from Newman Springs Road and will be screened for sobriety, according to Task Force coordinator and Brielle Police Chief Mike Palmer.
The other two checkpoints will be set in Belmar and Neptune.
