Heigh-Hoh! It’s off to scout camp they went …
Back in the 1970s, that is. These days, it’s half past camping time for the scouts in Fair Haven and beyond.

Retro Rumson Island Mooring Improv
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale … about an eight-hour tour, or hundreds, on the river in Rumson.
The part about this typical eight-hour tour in Rumson that doesn’t jibe with the three-hour tour Gilligan’s Island folks is that the kids on these “tours” sailed right into a marooning of their own making on what’s known as Starvation Island, just minutes from home. Who knew or cared, though? No one except the jolly river adventurers.
Retro RFH Boys on Track
RFH Boys Track circa 1970s

You could say this bunch of RFH boys was on track for success … and some fun along the way. Note: The poser with running shoes for eyes. The shoes have eyes? Or the eyes have shoes? Which came first?
Retro RFH Pre-Prom Fun

A reprise originally posted in June of 2019 just because … it’s prom season!
It’s half past RFH Senior Prom time. And we know that some prom traditions have been upheld through generations while others have not — and sometimes that’s a good thing, depending on the trend.
One thing’s for sure, though, and that’s the prom fact that all good prom-goers gather before they set out for their quality prom time.

Retro River Cruise into Sunny Daze
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.
