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.

Time for a touchdown of a homecoming! Go Bulldogs!

A must of a seasonal reprise, just because … The season says it all. Every fall has a rise and these RFH guys always seemed to find a way to rise to the occasion of a good skateboarding adventure and antics. So, this seasonal reprise from October of 2019 seemed a repeat of the finest RFH kind.  Ride on, RFH guys … 

You’ve seen them before … this crew of daring, not so diabolical RFH guys who had a little skateboarding club. Call these views the triple threats.

Retro RFH Football Touchdown

Yes, football season has kicked into high gear at RFH, so let’s take a moment to tackle this handsome team of players of an unknown year as well as the issue of name and uniform style.

Is it all in a name or uniform? Certainly not. It’s all about the game and how it’s played, of course. But, there are some quirks worth taking the ball and running with for a bit. No harm, no fumble. Just fun.
