Retro Knollwood Grads’ Class Trippin’
School’s out and graduation’s near — very near. And the heat is always on to seek out a good time among class friends. So, there’s nothing quite like a final class trip to — with class clowns, friends, foes and teachers. Yes, teachers — sun bathing and all.
This particular trip was taken in 1974 to a dude ranch somewhere with Fair Haven’s Knollwood School soon-to-be grads and teachers. Where? None of the old folks in the pictures can remember. Hey, some of us don’t even remember the trip.

It’s field day time in Fair Haven schools! A reprise in honor of a traditional prequel to summertime for Fair Haven kids …
Once upon a time, in those school days right before summer, when Knollwood School kids gathered on Sportsman’s Field for, well, some Field Day fun, let’s just say it was a bit hard to keep them focused.

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 RFH Sunny Daze Stoop Dwelling
Let the sun shine! The clouds have cleared this week for a good shining. 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.

Forget “Play ball!” It’s more like “Where’s the ball?
Aaaaand swing! Call it “playing the field incognito” — or something.
Yes, we’ve explored old times, uniforms and players on the RFH baseball field and in the dugout.

A reprise originally posted in June of 2019 just because … it’s prom time!
Well, Saturday was RFH Junior Prom time. We know that some prom traditions prevail. Others do not.
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 RFH Biker Boys’ Ride
The way that spring has sprung into summer days and back these days could give a spring fevered kind of person whiplash. But, hey, if the weather fits, you just have to ride it out. And enjoy the ride.

A reprise to warm hearts as the thaw ensues and spring officially hits the air …
Spring is officially here. The weather is warming up. Sort of. People are shedding coats for sweaters and getting out and about a little more each day.
The thaw has started. Call it classic spring fever. And it’s a more feverish fever than ever with the demise of COVID mask mandates and people pulling closer together again. Thoughts of sunny, warm, close spring-is-in-the-air antics are racing through minds, especially those of high schoolers.

Well, the sun came out and dried up all the rain, and snow, and wintery yuck yesterday.
And when the sun comes out, it’s always been a rite of passage for RFHers to get outside. No, we’re not talking about cutting class. We’re just saying that when the sun calls after a stretch of yuck, RFH students have always answered with at least a trip to the front, side, or back of the high school — or Piping Rock Park … or the old Campus Luncheonette.
