Call it a boatload of waterborne sunshine.
On the cusp of the unofficial start of summer in less than two weeks, thoughts turn to sunny cruising on the Navesink River.

Retro Rumson Police Line-Up
We know it’s National Police Week. It was kicked off with the annual Police Unity Tour culminating in Washington D.C.. Rumson Police Sgt. Bryan Dougherty has always been a regular on the ride.
Retro RFH Sunny Daze Stoop Squatters
Let the sun shine! Bring it back! There have been some sun shiny spring days lately; but, today is an exception. The sun will return by Friday, though, because spring has really sprung. And back in the 1970s at RFH, busting out of the hallowed halls was the thing to do when the fiery orb reared its rays in the sky.
Retro RFH Baseball Tackle Time
In an effort to pay homage to baseball season, these RFH baseball of a more casual kind retro pics, originally posted on April 10, 2019 are being reprised. Have you ever had a tackle strategy like this in your ball game?
Isn’t football the tackle sport? Well, that may be, but by the looks of things in this 1970s home run classic in the outfield, these RFH baseball players paid no mind to standard sports protocol. It was really all about the fun and laughs for them.

Play ball! Well, spring has arrived and RFH Baseball season has begun. And RFH players are set for a home run of a season, as usual.
Retro RFH Spring Fever Frolicking

Reprise! Just because … Let’s hear it for spring fever and waiting for the sun to reappear!
OK, so the spring weather outside has not been so consistently delightful lately. But, the sun has made some great cameo appearances.
So, take a look back to the 1970s when spring fever kicked in enough to get a couple of RFH guys in the mood to put those gloves on and take a little kangaroo hop outside the Junior Lounge, probably on a “free.” They were barely clad in those stylish 70s gym shorts and ready to duke it out — or at least dance around the notion.
Retro Spring Chillin’ RFH Style

A reprise of a very popular Retro Pic of the (George) Day that pays homage to spring — RFH style … Now where were these RFHers? Word has it that they were far off campus …
Spring has truly sprung. In fact it’s bloomin’ bouncing into seasonal warmth lately, save for a few bad days.
Retro RFH Spring Bust-Out
Open a new window? Old window? There’s nothing quite like the feeling of busting out of the not-so-hallowed halls of RFH.
Retro Forrestdale Basketball Slam Dunk

It’s basketball season these school days, and a particularly winning one at RFH. So, we’re bringing this up again …
It’s no secret that RFH has had some slam dunk success with the sport. So has Rumson’s Forrestdale School.

Retro RFH Dank Day Riders in the Commons

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.
Retro RFH Snow Day Hill Thrill

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.
Retro RFH Presidential Spirit of ’76
Photos/RFH Yearbook
It’s Presidents’ Day, officially Washington’s Birthday. So, it seemed only appropriate to continue in that theme with retro RFH photos — class presidents, their teams and even the top administrator.
Why not? If the day fits … And, lest we forget that back in the 1970s, there was a bicentennial for the U.S.A. going on. And there was much making of the year in the theme of RFH festivities and the yearbook.
The RFH Class of ’76, in fact, reprised its own ode to our first president, George Washington, with a mock crossing of, shall we say, McCarter Pond?
