Spring is in the air — sort of — and it’s just about batter up time at RFH.

So, on the cusp of spring, our Retro Pic of the (George) Day also commemorates the coming of the baseball season — the warm-up, the game and all.

Here’s a shot from the 1970s of some RFHers playing ball. The batter up? Recognize him? How about those teammates on the sideline?

Remember these uniforms?

Thanks, again, to George Day for this and so many other great photos!

The Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade is set to step off on Sunday, barring rain. And we’re thinking that there’s nothing quite like celebrating 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.

Reunited: RFH Ladies of the Round Table

Still “imbibing and pursuing leisurely interests” after all these years. That would be the RFH Ladies of the Round Table. You’ve seen them before in a ’70s Retro Pic of the Day and they’ve been at it again “all these years” later — at a gathering in Delray Beach, FL.

Retro RFH Class Prez Stuff

It’s the stuff … ing presidents are made of — or something like that.

In honor of Presidents Day, we’re honed in on presidents of the 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.

No, it’s not the swim team.
