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.
Continue reading Retro RFH Pre-Prom FunThe 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.

Hail, hail, the gang’s all here — the Rumson Rail Gang, that is. Where’s here? On the fence, of course, in at least one way.

Did someone say backgammon? Originally posted on Dec. 3, 2019, we’re bringing this RFH Senior Commons Retro Pic of the (George) Day back, because that conversation pit pic got those ’70s RFHers talking about the oh, so trendiness of backgammon and games in the pits and on the tabletops of that Senior Commons. We’re not so sure these guys were actually playing, but … the foul weather brings out those RFH Senior Commons memories and everything gets a bit more fair-weathered again. Go back again with us …
Snow day, anyone? Nope. Not this year. Dank days certainly are a bit too plentiful, though. Really, what’s an RFH student to do when the studying mood hasn’t struck, the weather stinks and a little peppering of now is not quite snow day worthy? Hang out in the Senior Lounge and play backgammon, of course. Or something like that. We stress “something like that.”

It’s a set-up! When it comes to winning shots, RFH Girls Basketball has always had the right moves on and off the court. Call it a set-up for the jam. Something like that in this Retro Pic of the Day.

Rainy days and Thursdays always get an RFHer confined to study hall … or some sort of cubicle cut off from high school antics. But, sometimes students find their own fun in a cube bound by books and school rules.

A reprise from 2019 as an ode to the dismal weather. Cheers and sun up!
The weather has not been quite fair these days. In fact, it’s been downright dank. And with dreary weather comes a little bit of a lackadaisical mood — especially for students cooped up in a high school all day. But, back in the day, there was a remedy for what ailed RFH students when lazy, hazy days drenched with dismal weather set in. That colored brick and pillar remedy was the Junior Lounge.

I spy … a slam dunk? High hoop hopes?
