Homecoming 2015: A Magical Mix of Memories and Celebration

Fireworks, football, family, and friends — Homecoming 2015, held October 16–17, was a magical mix of memories, fall fun, laughter, hearty celebration, and so much more.
 
Under beautiful, crisp October sunshine — truly perfect fall weather — ’Wick Bruins of all ages united in a spirited mass of Brown & Gold for a weekend of traditional events and games.  
 
More than 50 golfers began the activities by teeing it up at the Annual Alumni Golf Outing at the Griffith E. Harris Golf Course, where they fired accurately (well, most of the time) at greens and fairways throughout the sunny, fun-filled Friday afternoon.
 
Varsity athletic contests began on Friday as well, with water polo falling 8–7 in the decisive seconds against perennial power Greenwich High School, and soccer prevailing 1–0 (keeping its undefeated season alive) in a thrilling tilt versus Choate on Cosby Field.
 
The night on Edwards Campus concluded with an enthusiastic pep rally, a roaring bonfire, and a picturesque fireworks display — leaving the large crowd of students, alumni, and Bruins’ supporters full of anticipation for Saturday’s football game.
 
On the other side of town, at the Upper School Atrium on Maher Avenue, nearly 75 Bruin folk gathered for the 6th Annual Alumni Association Party.
 
Headmaster Thomas W. Philip awarded the 2015 Distinguished Alumni Award to Shep ’89 and Ian Murray ’93, who have generously dedicated countless hours of their time and energy to their alma mater — along with “tote bags” full of products from their lifestyle and apparel brand, vineyard vines.
 
By Saturday morning, the youngest Bruins — Pre and Lower Schoolers, along with faculty and alumni children — convened in Burke Fieldhouse for the Bear Fair, the School’s annual carnival, jam-packed with games, prizes, and confections.
 
When it was time for kickoff that afternoon — between ’Wick and Trinity-Pawling — the bleachers and Alumni Tent were lined to capacity with Brown & Gold cheering squads, setting the stage for a dramatic 26–16 come-from-behind victory for the home team.
 
Reunions for both the “5s” and the “0s” capped off the festivities, as alumni flocked to gatherings across Greenwich to reminisce and reconnect.
 
In its entirety, Homecoming 2015 was another truly memorable weekend — with Bruins of all ages, from all quarters, coming out in droves to celebrate the School’s proud and longstanding traditions.
