Boomer the TorchBearer?

The mascot was revealed tonight. There was a loottt of people. I did not expect sooo many students to show up and it wasn't just the pizza that got them there. They handed out flashlights in the beginning (making us confused at first) but then during the presentation they had the atheletes flashing them and whatnot, so it made sense.

President Alexander rocked out a Lasell t-shirt and running sneakers. His speech was theatrical and entertaining, except I think people were too excited to listen to the whole thing.

Well, Boomer the TorchBearer is our new Mascot! And yes I know it sounds silly at first and may not make sense but: 1. torches are a big part of Lasell history and are used in graduation ceremonys and 2. the people who founded Lasell in 1851 were nicknamed "boomers".

Clever, easy to remember and "historically based"...do you think it was a good name?
