On Friday, February 13th, Loughlinites didn’t
let superstition stop them from attending the
2nd Annual Homecoming Game and Alumni
Reception. This year, 130 alumni and guests (double the
number of attendees from last year) joined a gymnasium
filled with students, parents, and the opposition’s
supporters for an exciting varsity boys basketball game.
Loughlin beat Xaverian in the third of a triple-header
sweep against the visiting team’s best. During half time,
alumni basketball players were greeted by cheers from the
crowd as Vinnie Visco recognized them for all they did as
student athletes at Loughlin. Following the game, alumni
and Loughlin staff retired to the cafeteria for cocktails
and hors d’oeuvres. The cafeteria came alive when Kolin
Mendez ’08 provided music for the reception. Currently a
freshman at St. John’s University, Kolin is no stranger to
alumni events, as he volunteered with the Development
department several times while he was a student. This
blossoming DJ was more than willing to play music for the
crowd as he did in the past for home basketball games.
The highlight of the evening was when some alumni
turned a section of the cafeteria into a dance floor.
No one will forget the moment when Mr. Jim Dorney
joined them as they did the Electric Slide. It was truly an
unforgettable moment for all in attendance. As the night
began to wind down, the sounds of laughter and camera
shutters continued to fill the air as alumni made plans for
continuing their fun at a local lounge.
Much of the night’s success is due to the new Loughlin
group on Facebook, which was used to promote this
event to alumni in addition to mailings and email blasts.
Reunion coordinators from this year’s anniversary classes
also invited their fellow classmates to attend Homecoming
as a kick off to their reunion celebration later this
year. The Athletic &
Development departments
and everyone at Loughlin
would like to thank our
alumni for their continued
support of this event, and
we hope to see more alumni
at next year’s Homecoming!
