The RFH boys of the Class of ’78 do some senior lounging and backgammon playing Photo/George Day
When the stinging wintry chill still pierces the air and rainy, dank days continue in the week’s forecast, the time is right for a Retro Pic of the Day reprise classic to take you back to Senior Commons lounging days with a little backgammon on the side … or something.
What’s an RFH student to do when the studying mood hasn’t struck and the weather stinks? Hang out in the Senior Commons and play backgammon, of course. Or something like that.

The year was 1974 and the top hits were The Way We Were and Seasons in the Sun. Ironic …
And back in that year, the seniors at RFH had plenty of joy and fun and some seasons out of the sun. That was OK, though, because they had they had the Senior Commons for those chilly, wintry dank days. It was just the way they were — literally sinking into the groove, known as the groovy floor, in the lounge.

Rain, rain go away. Chill with the RFH seniors and everything be OK. It could have been a 1970s mantra, albeit a very corny one.
Let’s face it, though, those lounges at RFH made foul weather times just fine. And, lately, it’s been downright dank. That’s one of those words that just sounds like what it is. Yuck!
