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
Photo/George Day
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
Photo/George Day
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?
Retro RFH Foul Weather Junior ‘Lounging’
Photo/George Day
A little cheer in a reprise all about simple fun to be had in foul weather lounging and an antic or a few at RFH …
Some moments are meant for just lounging … like this persistent foul, frigid weather. Yes, lounging, even if those snippets of indoor time at RFH are inside a far less cozy, yet exclusive, special high school nook like the junior, as opposed to upper crust senior, lounge.

Retro Smokin’ Cold Fair Haven Snowman Daze
Call him smokin’ cold Frosty. He’s that apparently armless blob of snow day snow at the hands of four Fair Haven miscreants of the 1960s.
Retro RFH Snow Day Drive

A reprise in honor of the first major R-FH area snowfall of the New Year and nostalgia for the days of waiting for the snow day whistle to blow and goofing off. Yes, before the morning phone call and electronic communications, there was only the fire horn to listen for on what all kids wished would be a snow day. Then came the snow day misadventures …
It may or may not have been a snapshot of the infamous Blizzard of ’78, but there was not an SUV in sight, that’s for sure. Yes, those slick sedans slipped and slid their way right to school. Or not. There was a lot more fearlessness of the white stuff. That was the RFH golden rule of the era.

The time was always right for a toga party among RFH friends back in the 70s and 80s — especially when they wanted to chill out in the cold with a little draped sheet warmth and coolness.
