Retro Snow-Capped Peninsula House Paradise
Photo/George Day EXCLUSIVELY for R-FH Retro
This Retro Pic of the (George) Day is a reprise, just because it speaks to everyone so much about winter and some Sea Bright love. Sometimes you just can’t get enough of this kind of view and the memories it stirs …
If you’re winter daydreaming of snow-capped visions of warm paradise memories, your thoughts may drift to the iconic Peninsula House. It’s as if it was still there. Sometimes, if you close your eyes, like any good memory, you can see it. It all comes back — blankets you in a Tsunami of heart smiles.

All RFH concerts have singers and players — of the Tower variety.
The RFH Tower Singers sang around the towns over the weekend. And then there are those annual RFH Winter Concerts. The singers sing holiday songs and the players of various RFH instrumental ensembles play. At times, in RFH history, the two did meet to make music together.

Oh, those Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Tower Singers have been singing up a winter storm.

A winter version reprise, by popular demand in honor of Toni Pomphrey, who worked there and recently passed away, and Lisa Preston, the RFH Class of ’75 girl at the counter who also passed and just had a birthday … Campus was a “free period” hot spot, as RFH dinosaurs know …
It’s all about being cool these winter days. It was in the 70s for RFHers, too.

Cheers to sunny fall days and classic looks back! The sun is out and, despite the fall sting in the air, it’s something to cheer about. So, we’re taking you back, once again, to a special crew of RFH cheerleaders — the boys of RFH’s Class of ’78 in an encore of this Oct. 8, 2015 Retro Pic of the (George) Day from two views! Cheers!
The 1977 RFH Powder Puff Football game was a good one that made for some great photo ops.
Retro RFH Football Halftime Show Folk
It’s not all about the game when it comes to RFH’s football games. Games have always been a very entertaining full-on production, featuring a big halftime show. And, back in the day, that classic RFH-RBC rivalry game always one of the showiest, most unique halftimes of all high schools. They featured, twirlers, color guard, marching bands, cheerleaders and the one and only RFH Drill Team. All encompassed the entertainment that championed many wins. How could it not? It was and is all about the RFH winning spirit. Go Dawgs!
Retro RFH Thanksgiving Touchdown

If some old RFHers had a pre-Thanksgiving turkey wishbone to yank on, they may be hoping to pull the bigger end to make a wish to revisit their own RFH Thanksgiving Day Homecoming game. Yes, the homecoming of today is already over and the RFH Dawgs are already on the state championship path.
But, back in the day, Thanksgiving, to be exact, the RFH football season used to peak with what then was the classic rivalry homecoming/Thanksgiving Day game between Red Bank Catholic and RFH. Two days before, everyone was headed home from college for the big homecoming reunion, dance and, of course reunited partying at Ichabod’s (now Woody’s, owned by RFHer Chris Wood).
Retro RFH Tower Players Play Time

Tonight, the RFH Tower Players are opening their fall show of the school year — Frozen Jr.. The RFH shows of this era are always billed as Tower Players plays, because, of course, it’s the drama club. But, in the age of the RFH Tower Player dinosaur, playing with the Tower Players was a bit different.
There were always been two productions, as with now, but not two musicals. That was the spring production only. Originally, there was a fall drama and a spring musical. The fall drama was a Tower Players play. Tower Players only were auditioned and cast. The spring musical a different, bigger, more school-wide production. It was billed as an RFH show, with auditions open to anyone in RFH, casting dance and vocal choruses, lead and supporting role actors and all.
