You could say they got the fever — spring fever … for a fling … or going steady … or something.

Retro RFH Spring Bust-Out
Open a new window? Old window? There’s nothing quite like the feeling of busting out of the not-so-hallowed halls of RFH.

The Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade passed by last Sunday. And we’re thinking that there’s nothing quite like celebrating tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day, Irish or not, with a couple of bulldogs leading your alma mater’s marching band. That’s how RFH did it back in 1993.

A double-dose special basketball court cheer reprise, because the RFH champs are at it again … and this is a real slam dunk!
Yes, it’s basketball season at RFH. And on March 6, the RFH Boys Basketball team became the state Central Group II Sectional champs. Now, that win earned some major cheers. But, have you ever seen a lovelier bunch of cheerleaders as the guys in this classic?

Retro RFH Dismal Day Class Clowning

There’s one in every class — a class clown. And when the school days are chilly and dismal and students’ silly energies are pent up indoors, clowning around becomes an art form.
At RFH back in the 1970s, the art was taken to an extreme one fine, dull day. Not that we’re encouraging any antsy RFH students who may be a little bored and have the itch to engage in some mischievous antics …

Raise your plastic cups and party on! It’s time for a little chill and retro toast to the impending weekend of breaking out of all the snow and taking the snap out of the cold snap with the warmth of some RFH guys of the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Retro RFH Class Prez Stuff
It’s the stuff … ing presidents are made of — or something like that.
In honor of Presidents’ Day (week), we’re honed in on presidents of the high school class kind — not country. And there have been many class presidents at RFH, some of whom have stuck out like beacons of, well, zaniness. Call them fearless fun leaders.

Retro RFH Presidential Spirit of ’76
Photos/RFH Yearbook
It’s Presidents’ Day, officially Washington’s Birthday. So, it seemed only appropriate to continue in that theme with retro RFH photos — class presidents, their teams and even the top administrator.
Why not? If the day fits … And, lest we forget that back in the 1970s, there was a bicentennial for the U.S.A. going on. And there was much making of the year in the theme of RFH festivities and the yearbook.
The RFH Class of ’76, in fact, reprised its own ode to our first president, George Washington, with a mock crossing of, shall we say, McCarter Pond?
Retro RFH Senior Lounge Groovin’

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.
