A reprise from December of 2023, just because as a new year comes, remembering lifelong friendships and continuing to celebrate them, even when untimely loss hits, is true auld lang syne … Cheers!
Auld Lang Syne. The lyrics of the song are all about friendship — forever friends raising a glass and toasting to the good times, adventures and misadventures they’ve shared.
Scary Santa time with Rafer Roberts in 1978 Photo/Kathy Robbins
“Ho no you don’t!”
That’s what little Fair Havenite Rafer Roberts was likely thinking after he was plopped on scary Santa’s lap for a minute of terrifying quality time and pics in 1978.

It’s still all about football at RFH and the winning streak for the Dawgs.
On the heels of RFH’s undefeated streak of 13-0 and latest state finals win (26-24 against Shabazz) that made them state champs, we take you back to a typical home game. The pics feature the RFH champ spirit that has endured decades — nearly half a century, in this case.

As Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) actors readied for their production of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite in 1977, more of the same is happening at the high school right now.
The Tower Players are gearing up for their production ofNutcracker … the Musical.

‘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.
Touchdown! Cheer! They’re on a major winning streak. The RFH Bulldogs are going for the football playoff finals in a home game against Wall on Friday night.
So, the Retro Pic of the (George) Day is, well, several pics in a slideshow of none other than those fabulously fun RFH students of the Class of ’78!
So, here’s to the retro spirit of haunting from a classic RFH gaggle of ghouls!
Can you guess which is your R-FH Retro publisher/founding editor?
And, thanks to the fabulous George Day for these spectacular shots! Be sure to click on the video and click the right corner to enlarge! Enjoy, trick-or-treaters!
RFH preppy hippies hangin’ out in the 1970s 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.
