A reprise in honor of David Memmott, RFH ’78, who passed away suddenly four years ago, on Sept. 29, 2022. Ride on, Dave …
Sometimes you just find yourself up a puddle without a paddle. And sometimes the way around it, or through it, is by spilling out of a VW bug like a bunch of RFH clowns in a clown car.
The cliche “If the shoe fits …” is, indeed, fitting for the the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Tower Players’ announcement that its fall musical production of Cinderella, Youth Edition will come to the high school’s stage in late November.

This Retro Pic of the Day is being reprised in loving memory of RFH ’80 Jenny McCullough (top, right) who passed away very suddenly recently. Jenny knew the true meaning of unbreakable bonding among childhood friends and firmly believed that “love never dies …. ” You were so loved, Jenny, and you will be forever missed by us kids and times together you never forgot and reminded us of frequently with a good laugh and tons of love …
What do you get when you put a gaggle of RFH girls in a flowery ’70s wallpapered kitchen with a nouveau push-button wall phone? A girls’ night — starring the phone. We’re not saying that was the case here, just imagining. Follow us in this inspired daydream into the past. Hey, there was such a thing — a girls’ night starring that phone.

Football season at RFH is pretty sweet. Always has been. And it’s not just because of the game. It’s about those sideline hustles, too, like, for instance bake sales.
Yes, bake sales.
No, it wasn’t always just about football at game time back in the day — as if that wasn’t enough. Oh, as tradition has it, there were always lots of things happening before, during and after games, whether on the field, off the field, around the bend or, well, in the parking lot. Yes, the parking lot. That’s where some epic bake sales sweetened up game days — and sometimes spiced them up.

This Retro Pic(s) of the Day was originally posted in October of 2015. It’s being brought back to commemorate the season and a first with a first girl to play on the team. Imagine that …
Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) senior Charlie Ingrassia is running toward a touchdown with an award for his overall student character, heart and dedication to football, on and off the field.
With the advent of the football season comes memories of old days when the RFH Band played on with more members, but many may not recall that the football team was small.
Band was big in the 1970s. But, going back more than half a century, like back to the 1930s, when RFH was Rumson High School, the football team appeared small. There was no regional. And the population was, well, small. There were sprawling estates, farms (with a lot of asparagus growing wild) and berries aplenty for picking.

With locals’ summer and school’s start, students’ thoughts naturally turn to warmth and freedom. They start to daydream before they even hit the classroom — especially on a Friday. That’s how it goes in the R-FH area when those beaches become barren and more room is made for the locals to get down to the business of soaking up that locals’ summer partying spirit.
