HOMECOMING 2018
ALUMNI SOCCER GAME
Cheering Section Gets a Special Nod
I
T WAS CHILLY ENOUGH to see your breath, but the cold rain ended just in time for a handful of hearty souls who appeared for another Homecoming tradition, the Alumni Soccer Game. Each year, the game draws spirited alumni to the King Street campus to test out their foot traps once again on the pitch. Alumni are often joined by faculty who round out the numbers to form two
teams. But this year it may well be the small and loyal cheering section that deserves special recognition. Indeed, haunting the sidelines on this gray October morning was an extra-special fan — fifth-grader Henry Graham. Graham had taken a break from hanging out with the little kids at Bear Fair inside Burke Field House and was struck with wonder by the action on Cosby Field. Graham had a particular respect for a teacher whose 30-plus years at Brunswick have become somewhat of a legend.
