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?

A winter version reprise, by popular demand in honor of Toni Pomphrey, who worked there and recently passed away, and Lisa Preston, the RFH Class of ’75 girl at the counter who also passed and just had a birthday … Campus was a “free period” hot spot, as RFH dinosaurs know …
It’s all about being cool these winter days. It was in the 70s for RFHers, too.

It’s summertime. And there’s nothing like taking a long walk off a short … dock — especially if you’re a Rumson kid in the ’70s trying to stay cool.

Cheers to Friday and that special Sea Bright corner in which many glasses were raised in a “TGIF! And here’s to good friends!”
Retro RFH Spring Fever Drive

A reprise to warm hearts as the sun comes out and spring is on the horizon …
Spring is coming, folks. The weather is warming up. Sort of. People are shedding coats for sweaters and getting out and about a little more each day.
The sun has been peering brightly, albeit with a sting in the air. Call it classic spring fever. Thoughts of sunny, warm, spring-is-almost-in-the-air antics are racing through minds, especially those of high schoolers.

A red-white-and-blue patriotic reprise, just because July 4th is tomorrow …
Peace out. Patriotism. Well-played play date, kids. They were not crooks and they were no Richard Nixon wannabes. But they were at least budding impersonators. Perhaps. Or just era-inspired posers.
Retro RFH Boys’ Jump for Baseball Joy

It’s not every day that a casual baseball game causes a player to levitate — just one day back in the 1970s.
We’re not sure of exactly what happened here on the field, but RFH yearbook photographer George Day caught this home run of a shot — mid-air.

Retro Cool in the Rumson Forrestdale Gang
There’s nothing like chilling with the cool kids when you’re a middle schooler. And these Rumson boys knew just how to lead the coolness brigade back in the 1970s at Forrestdale School.
Retro Rumson Boys of Spring Dancing & Madras Mayhem

If there’s any way to summon the spring sun, it’s with some 70s madras fashion. That’s the way they did the spring dance in Rumson in 1973.

Retro RFH Kids’ Snow Time
Photo/George Day
A reprise, because, in this weather, there’s no business like snow business …
Snow days due to the recent pandemic time snow-in bring back memories of winters way past. RFHers of yesteryear always found some simple fun pretty fast when the school bell didn’t ring and the fire horn signaled no school.
