...control the boosters?" Certainly everyone wants the reforms to work. The booster-club president, Bill Hill, insists that "alumni understand the situation now. We're going to be a model of integrity." Gregg adds, "A school can't live without the alumni." Old grads are after him, wanting to lend a hand. "Support us, come to our games," he shoots back.

...Jersey couple played by Timothy Daly and Eve Gordon. They date in high school during the early '60s (Motown music on the sound track), live together as rebellious college students (psychedelic rock), marry to satisfy their parents and eventually divorce. The bouffant hairdos and nerdy wisecracks lend fun to the flashbacks, but Daly and Gordon face such predictable life crises that one might be reading a textbook on the generic baby boomer. Almost Grown will not reach maturity until it addresses more individual, and compelling, problems...
