Retro RFH Bleacher Chillin’ Daze
Photo/George Day
‘Tis the season for an appropriate reprise …
Yes, it’s been a stellar RFH football season. And while the games aren’t always home, those bleachers at Borden Stadium have always been and are still quite sacred — for cheering on the teams and just plain hangin’ out, game or not.
In the spirit of all things sporty and sportsmanlike, everyone knows that RFHers are pretty serious about their good bleacher times.
RFH Tower Players Set Stage for ‘Nutcracker’
The curtain is going up soon on the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Tower Players’ fall production of Nutcracker … the Musical.
In Memoriam: Former Longtime Fair Havenite, RFH Grad, Ellie Mitchell, 85
Former longtime Fair Havenite and Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) graduate, Eleanor “Ellie” Marie Mitchell, whose family owned the iconic Willowbrook Inn, now Raven and the Peach, passed away Nov. 7. She was 85.
Retro RFH Tower Player Techies
The stage is getting set for the RFH Tower Players’ fall production of Nutcracker; and, there’s a need for some techie help in set construction.
Yes, it’s a tough job, and those who have to do it love to do it. The need is just greater than past years for some tech crew help.
So, we’re taking you back … to the days of a rather opulent set and a diligent crew setting it.
Happy Retro RFH Halloween!

Retro RFH Preppie Hippie Halloweening
Photo/George Day
There’s nothing like playing dress-up and drive-by for Halloween at RFH.
In the 1970s, students really got ghostly and festive with it all. Costumes were creative. Though, given the era, it was hard to tell if a few were actually costumes or just the outfit of the day. Ah, but, of course these girls were “disguised” as those ’60s, not ’70s, hippies.

Retro RFH Witchy Women’s Halloween Ride

A most necessary reprise …
They were headed every witch way on this Halloween in the late 1970s.
That would be Sue Brower and Bonnie Werner of the RFH Class of ’78.
So the double-dose Retro Pic(s) of the (George) Day feature them at their Halloween best.
Retro RFH Homecoming Dancing & Courting
Homecoming at RFH scored big with a week’s long celebration culminating in a win for the Bulldogs on Friday night.
Yes, there was a lot of celebrating, but there was no dancing. Well, there was no official RFH dance hosting alumni coming home and seniors on the night before Thanksgiving like decades ago. And the event? Well, it’s all about October. Has been for some time..

An RFH Homecoming and Tower Clock Fundraiser
It’s that time. Time for Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School’s homecoming game and festivities. It’s also prime time for raising funds to turn back time to the days when the signature RFH Tower clock worked.
That time, for all that tradition, albeit altered a lot over the years, is tonight.
After a week of what has been dubbed “spirit days” and “battle of the classes,” there was a homecoming festival on Thursday at the Dawg House replete with rides, dunk tank, treats and the battle of the classes events with prizes. This newer tradition started in 2012, doing away with the usual homecoming dance at RFH and earlier tossing aside the Thanksgiving Day game against Red Bank Catholic tradition before dinner on Turkey Day.
Staff, in 2012, said no one was showing for the dance and it was too cold and inconvenient to have the homecoming game on Thanksgiving. Though, decades ago, Borden Stadium or RBC was packed with alum and present students at these games. The dance? It was always a draw for RFH alum coming home from college for the first time and present seniors.
But we digress … The homecoming culmination tonight is the game and the final halftime homecoming court festivities. There’s also that RFH Tower clock fundraiser.
Here’s how it will play out …
Each class decorated its own homecoming float with a theme of choice. The floats will be paraded, chauffeuring the homecoming court, at tonight’s homecoming game, which is set for a 7 p.m. start against Donovan Catholic High School. Floats will be voted on by audience members for best design.
And in the middle of it all, the RFH PTO will be raising funds to have that RFH Tower clock, on which time has stopped for decades, wind up and tell time once again.
Tonight, people can pose with the classic DeLorean Time Machine from 5 to 9 p.m. in the RFH Football Lot.
Here’s more about the fundraiser, courtesy of the PTO …
Time for a touchdown of a homecoming! Go Bulldogs!

Retro RFH ’50s Twirling Game On!
It’s a touchdown of a different kind … The RFH Football season is being tackled with success. And, what’s a game without a few field shows like the marching band, cheerleaders and, say, twirling? Yes twirling — in the RFH Color Guard.
