Retro Fair Haven Snow Day Sirens

Well, after a lot of warnings and prep, the week’s ones played host to yet another snowstorm that wasn’t. Oh, there was some snow and freeze for a few morning minutes, but it was no Blizzard of ’96 or ’78. Yes, back in the day, there were plenty of snowstorms that actually snowed Rumson-Fair Haven area folks in and left them to their own devices for resorting to fun in the freezing white stuff.

Retro RFH Junior ‘Pop’ and Chill Lounging
When chilly days and Mondays got RFH juniors a little down, they just copped a squat with a pop in the Junior Lounge.

We’re bringing this scary Santa gem back from the 2018 archives. Originally posted on Dec. 12, 2018, this is the stuff priceless scary Santa pics are made of … This one was from 2010. We wish these older now twins a very happy holiday and thanks for the bowl full of jello belly laugh!
Sometimes you just win a trifecta when asking for a winning photo of children’s miserable experiences on the lap of Ol’ Saint Nick during the holidays.

Retro RFH Winter Concert Players
All RFH concerts have singers and players — of the Tower variety.
The RFH Tower Singers sang around the towns over the weekend. And then there are those annual RFH Winter Concerts. The singers sing holiday songs and the players of various RFH instrumental ensembles play. At times, in RFH history, the two did meet to make music together.

Our annual Thanksgiving tribute to the kids’ table … Remember that? Happy Thanksgiving, all! Stay safe. Stay healthy. Enjoy!
It’s Thanksgiving, and, yes, it’s all about giving thanks.
So, the Retro Pic of the Day is an ode to just that.
It’s a snapshot back in time to the 1960s with a sibling duo from Fair Haven — Ben and Kate Hamilton. Ben passed away and Kate had posted this picture on Facebook giving thanks for him. RIP, Ben.
The photo brings back memories of the era the kids’ holiday table. Remember that one?

Retro RFH Thanksgiving Touchdown
Photo/George Day
If some old RFHers had a pre-Thanksgiving turkey wishbone to yank on, they may be hoping to pull the bigger end to make a wish to revisit their own RFH Thanksgiving Day Homecoming game. Yes, the homecoming of today is already over and the RFH Dawgs are already on the state championship path.
But, back in the day, Thanksgiving, to be exact, the RFH football season used to peak with what then was the classic rivalry homecoming/Thanksgiving Day game between Red Bank Catholic and RFH. Two days before, everyone was headed home from college for the big homecoming reunion, dance and, of course reunited partying at Ichabod’s (now Woody’s, owned by RFHer Chris Wood).
Retro RFH Cool Guys’ Game & Ride

A classic reprise … just because we’re all about playing that field at RFH. Did they need drive? Well, they had it here in the most classic ’70s form ...
Fall is football time. And when the home game is over and the coldest of cold snaps hits, it’s bundle-up-and-ride-with-it-time. After all, sometimes it’s not all about the game for spirited RFHers.

Retro RFH Ghostly Halloween Haunting
Photo/George Day
A reprise from 2017, just because … BOO!
Scary season has set in … in more ways than one.
People in the Rumson-Fair Haven area have been haunting up their homes, crafting costumes and getting into the spirit. So, why not add a little extra retro spooking from RFH students of the past?
BOO who or what? It was all in the haunt for RFHers back in the 1970s. They started getting the Halloween party going early on and ended up with a pretty festive feast of ghouls on the grounds of the high school and, yes, beyond.
