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

Retro RFH Spring Fever Frolicking

A reprise in honor of the fight for a break from the chill in the winter air and some real spring fever, close encounters and emergence from omicron winter isolation …
Yes, spring fever is spreading rapidly as we all anxiously await a reprise of more sunshine and blooming of warmer days. Apparently, this retro RFH spring frolicking in the high school parking lot was about more than a little spring fever in the 1970s.

Our annual St. Patrick’s Day memory reprise, just because … it’s a classic scene that must be revisited …
In the Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade’s aftermath, we’re looking back at the luck of the Irish and not-so-Irish at RFH and another parade — the big one. We are remembering a time when the RFH Marching Band, Twirlers and Drill Team not only marched in area St. Patrick’s Day parades, but made it to the big one in New York City. Call it an Irish step dance of sorts — the marching and entertaining sorts.

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.
Retro RFH Girls’ Night TGIF Calling

What do you get when you put a gaggle of RFH girls in a flowery ’70s wallpapered kitchen with a nouveau push-button wall phone? A girls’ night — starring the phone. We’re not saying that was the case here, just imagining. Follow us in this inspired daydream into the past. Hey, there was such a thing — a girls’ night starring that phone.

Retro RFH Dank Day Riders in the Commons

The sun has made an appearance or two lately, even though there are still a few snow piles standing, but it’s now back to rain, thunder and, yes, dank days. And people, like cooped-up RFH students are likely stir crazy and ready to make a break for it and ride out of bleak winter blues and into warm sunsets. Incognito or not.

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
Photo/George Day
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 …
