That's the opinion of 

William W. Rockwell, 0f 

367 Pratt St., 

Southington, agent for 

Connecticut Mutual Life 

in Meriden who.pointed 

out that the business of 

underwriting insurance 

risks has changed a lot 

in the past century. 

"Saloonkeepers, soap 

boilers, riverboat pilots 

and tallow chandlers 

were among the 

professions of life insurance 

policyholders 

100 years ago," William 

W Rockwell explained. 

"The world was full of 

different dangers then - 

yellow fever, the perils 

of pioneering, accidents 

on such new fangled inventions 

as the train and 

riverboat," he added. 

Looking back in 

can 

during this Bicentennial 

year, the local insurance 

agent cited the 

example of one Brad 

Daily, who listed his occupations 

as Stage 

coach driver, Union 

scout, freighter to the 

Arizona silver mines 

and county sheriff in 

New Mexico. 

"Back in 1869, Connecticut 

Mutual saw 

nothing unusual about 

those occupations and 

insured Daily for 

$10,000," Rockwell said. 

"And it turned out the 

company was right 

about the risk, Daily 

died with his boots off, 

felled by intestinal inflammation." 

Founded in 1846 as the 

Post College 

To Conduct 

Local Survey 

Southington citizens 

and those of 30surrounding 

towns will be polled 

during November by a 

olial group of Post 

lel e students 

armed with survey 

forms designed to reveal 

the area's cultural 

and educational needs 

The survey, under the 

leadership of Gary A. 

Kasey, assistant dean of 

students, is the final 

step in study to pinpoint 

the spheres in which 

Post College might best 

serve the community. 

The college's 

assessment of community 

needs is being 

conducted by a committee 

appointed in September 

by Post's 

President Harold G. 

Harlow with Kasey as 

project director. 

Representatives from 

the cpllege's administration, 

faculty, 

alumni, and student 

body named to the committee 

were assigned 

specific related areas of 

investigation and the 

data accumulated 

during this exploration 

will be analyzed at the 

conclusion of the study. 

"Awareness of Community 

needs is the first 

step toward meeting 

them," said Kasey, 

"and although post has 

made an important 

move in that direction 

by initiating the area's 

first four year program, 

we feel there is still 

more we can do t6 

enrich the educational 

and cultural opportunities 

here."

frowned on two practices 

common in its 

early days - .due!ling and

For example, Rockwell 

said, when 28 year 

old Ludlow Cohen lost a 

duel in 1870 his heirs lost 

their death claim. And 

while slave-owners went 

to many insurance companies 

to buy special 

risk coverage on their 

slav,es, Connecticut 

Mutual's board of directors 

voted to shun this 

type of business. 

Rockwell also noted 

that when would-be 

prospectors poured 

westward to the California 

gold rush, Connecticut 

Mutual insisted 

on a premium increase 

to cover such 

policyholders or/ the 

many hazards of the 

westward journey.

I cause bad risk selection 

can hurt all 

policyholders - the same 

reason why sky-divers 

and hang-gliders are 

usually excluded from 

normal insurance 

coverage today, he 

said. 

"But who knows, 

perhaps 10 years from 

now, life insurance companies 

will receive applications 

from starship

Large Voter Turnout Rejects 

Proposed Charter Revisions 

By Craig . Baggott 

Well over 80% of 

Southingten's elig[ .le 

voters flocked to the 

town's polling p.laces 

Tuesday to soundly reject 

the nine proposed 

charter amendments 

on the ballot. 

The changes, backed 

by the Democrats and 

opposed by the 

Republicans with equal 

intensity, were the subject 

of increasing controversy

the proposals and the 

number of votes for and 

against each: 

Question 13, an ammendment 

that would 

allow the Town Council 

more power in the 

town's budgetary 

process was rejected by 

a margin of 7,044 to 

2,574. The amendment 

would have allowed the 

council to override the 

Finance Board and insert 

new 

budget after a public 

hearing and a two-thirds 

council vote. 

Question { 12, a 

proposal to give the 

Town*Council power to 

appoint the paid Town 

Treasurer was defeated 

7,030 to 2,482.

have given the Town 

Council the authority to 

appointe members of 

the Housing Authority 

and was defeated 6,788 

to 2,651 

Question 10, which 

would have renamed the 

Industrial Development 

Commission with the 

title Economic Development 

Commission, was 

rejected 6,541 to 2,866 

The amendment would 

also have given the 

Town Council power to 

veto the commission's 

choice of a coordinator. 

Question 9, a proposal 

o have terms of elected 

town officers begin at 

noon the "day after the 

municipal election was

OPINION & COMMENT 

The Secret Chamber 

Of all-the-challenges facing busine today -- whether it be 

the giants like Ford Motor, AT&T, Mobil Oil or one of the 

numerous smaller concerns such as we have in Southington -- 

regain the public trust. 

Public confidence iv, business is lower now than it has been 

for many yea . According to 01m survey, 5.5% of ,Am.eric,ans 

in 1966 had a htgh level of confidence in business teauersnip. 

Today only .16% do 

What has caused this decline? 

Many things. But important amo. l them are revelations of 

corporate kickbacks, bribed officials, illegal political contributions, 

secret bank aceount and the like. 

Today, many businesse ar worki_n.g hard toward overcoming 

these black-marks. They are fighting the erosion in 

their public trust by enforcing rigorous codes of business conduct, 

by spelling out clearly -- and publicly -- just what 

business does thatis good. And rightly so. 

Restoring the'good name of business deserves urgent attention 

of everyone in business today. It is the best way to 

assure the survival of business tomorrow. 

Why then, with all thi need to restore public trust in our 

business firms does the Greater Southington Chamber of 

Commerce still cherish meeting in secrecy? 

Accqrding to its Executive Director Edward Beckley and 

Board , f Director member Craig S. Carragan Jr. - on Oct 28 

- the bamber' board stilLwill not, open its, ateegngs t_o_th 

press. 

This is difficult to understand. The Chamber is supposed to 

be a leader of business and industry in Southington. What can 

beso secret that it must be discussed behind closed doors? 

•Are they planning to zip a new mall into downtown and do 

not waht anyone to know about it? 

•Are they attempting to raise funds to help keep the Chamber 

afloat and are ashamed of it? 

•Are they -- behind these closed doors -devistng some 

reat scheme to bring new business into the empty halls at 

exto? 

The Chamber got concerned last August when we mentioned 

its invisible nature. If they held their planning 

meeting or board meeting with the press listening in, th.e.n 

they would certainly end up. with the whole community 

knowing just what they are trying to do to help Southington - 

and the 'r'memb rshipcould ba k in the light thus shed. 

Perhaps, the biggest shock of the Chamber's antiinformation 

beard meetings is that one of our press people sit 

in on it and helps to encourage such secret metings. 

We feel Carragan - who is general manager of WNTY - is 

grossly wrong in suppoledng this veil of secrecy - particularly 

,when the - ,hole press is t_oday commit. dto 

bringing sunshine into public eetings. Business meetings - 

such as the Chamber's -- should s,e.t an e.xam e for others to 

hold clear, crisp, out-in-the-open aiscusstons. 

Carragan's radio station is among those who are championing 

for the rights of the press. How can he s .nd [or the 

freedom of the press, yet serve on a eaose corporauon-.' 

We call on Carragafl to resign in protest -- and strike a blow 

for open meetings. 

The Chamber must be a vital and virile organization. It can 

only become so ff it doe all its business out in the open

Athlete's Insurance Is Clarified 

Editor's Note -- SHS's Director 

of Athletics s wormed 

about misconceptmns concerning 

the insurance plan for 

th .school's athletes Parents" 

failures to fill out forms have 

delayed payments on several 

ogca ion . The following 

Speaking Out! is spec ficall 

written for all parents of Blue 

Knight athletes. 

The Southington Board of 

Education has purchased ar 

all-sports insurance program 

for 1976-1977 from the Edward 

Connors agency of 11 

Oakwood Avenue, West Hartford, 

Connecticut. This 

policy provides coverage in 

the amount of $10,000 for 

medical expenses €$1,000for 

dental expenses) along with 

other benefits as described in 

the brochure for regular 

school insurance. 

The plan of insurance 

covering interscholastic 

sports.is now being written 

on an "excess basis." In 

other words, when an injury 

occurs, the claim must first 

be presented to your insurance 

carrier. When you 

report the injury on the claim 

form to the school insurance 

company please forward 

only those bills which show 

credits received from your 

insurance. The school insurance 

will pay that amount 

not paid by the other insurance. 

The purpose of this 

program is to stabilize the 

cost of spol ts insurance to 

the town SlYould your insurance 

not provide 

coverage, or if you do not 

carry insurance, the school 

insurance will pay the bills 

as rendered. 

In the event of an injury 

requiring medical attention, 

it will be necessary that the 

student make a report to the 

high school office within 48 

hours of the time of occurence, 

so as to insure 

coverage of any medical expenses 

which might result 

therefrom. When such a 

report has not been filed, and 

there is no record of such injury, 

the insurance company 

can refuse to pay for the 

medical expenses incurred. 

In such cases, the responsibility 

for payment of the 

bills is naturally assumed by 

the parent. 

It is important, therefore, 

that the high school boys and 

girls be reminded that the 

responsibility for reporting 

Moving in! 

such accidents is theirs, and 

we urge your cooperation in 

impressing this fact upon 

them. 

We are very pleased that 

your child has indicated an 

interest in our athletic 

program. If this office can be 

of assistance to you in any 

way, please feel free to ca II 

US. 

-Joseph Fontana is Director 

of Athletics at Southington 

High School. 

THIS & THAT 

It takes two things to conduct 

a successful political 

campaign: hot issues and 

cold cash. 

Political TV commercials 

prove one thing: that some 

candidates can tell you all 

their good points and 

qualifications in 30 seconds. 

We should hold elections 

every year, because there 

never seem to be tax increases 

in an election year. 

"Push" opens more doors 

than "pull." 

'The Big Shoot Out! ' 

/Part I of a No s Saga/ 

A few days after the big October shoot out at Northington's 

Thunderch cken West Care, Marry Ca)led Ac.e 

Photographer'/Reporter Craig Baggott into his o flce. 

"Say Ace, let's wander out to, da Th.und hidken and see 

just what in blazes all da shootin was at)out. 

"Yep." Craig, like his tall ounterpart, Gary Cooper, was 

a man of few words. ) 

"So grab your camera and notebook, partner, a d let's 

mosey out there " 

"M.D., will ya and Dugout hold down da corral, Ace and I 

will be in da sagebrush huntin' outlaws." 

"O.K. Seeya chief. I mean sheriff." 

A few minutes later the journalistic posse reached the 

Thunderchicken West Care -- nestled in the NOrthington 

foothills on Mt. Vernon Rd. -- and trod the Scamp outside. 

"Hm," observes Ace "There's no sign on da cafe. Just da 

• ., 

"Yeah, shoot a photo of it will ya. Maybe that's where all 

da bullets ended up..." 

"And at da same time,, Ace, will ya get a pix or two of da 

cafe itself. Ya know, it s rather western in motif - all red 

brick and wood (and complete with a ZBA and PZC inspection 

I presume) -- though there's sure a lack of blacktop 

in da parking area. I guess dey have a lot of boss and foot 

travel." 

"Photos are done," shouts Ace "Let's go inside." . 

Opening the door, they entered a dimly-lit room and briskly 

stepped off the eight paces to a long (darn clean-lboking) 

black and red bar 

Outside of a front w ndow letting in some daylight, the bar 

was lit mostly by a series of signs -- Bacardi rum, Schmidt's 

beer, Tuborg beer, a Schaefer beer clock -- and a Budweiser 

clock glowing behind the bar A juke box and an electronic 

game also contributed feeble red and yellow glows. 

The room suddenly became tense as a lady behind the bar 

and the few customers -- either "regulars" or already members 

by being there earlier than the two strangers -stared at 

Marry and Ace 

The bar smelt cops 

"Acoupleofdrafts.please," ordered Marly. "makeo e 

adarkPrior's " 

"Adollarthwty," requested the lady. She was neither harsh 

nor was she friendly just sizing us up. 

Marty prod the tab as Ace claims he's so thin he can't carry 

his wallet in his jeans without bulging -- and that would ruin 

his Gary Cooper image. M D. and Marty just call it cheap .. 

but he's a good photographer and he's also the brand new dad 

of a young boy ICraig Whiting Baggott}. 

The first beers went down quickly And quietly. 

Marty ordered another round The freeze was still on in the 

bar as the lady placed the mugs of draft in front of Ace and 

Marty 

"Onethirtyplease. " 

"Yeah,thanks Herehs " 

"Hey, Marty, do you tink dey tink we're cops?" asked Ace. 

"Probably, dis trench coat of mine doesn't help either• I 

think I'll take some notes and ask a few question." 

"Say. miss, s this the place where the big hoot out took 

place?" 

"Yeah." (An icy chdl took over the bar.) 

Marry drew out h s notebook and began to write a description 

of the Thunderchicken West Care. He jotted down the approximate 

size -- roughly 24 feet x 32. A black and red bar 

which dominated the room. Four rows of yellow top tables 

lined the far wall, near the single entrance door. Each table 

was neat Each table had five red padded, biaek backed 

chairs Each table was quite clean. In fact, the whole bar was 

noticeablely clean 

"Where did da outlaw sit da otherday? Marty inquired. 

"At the second table," answered the lady. 

"Where did da cop sit?" 

"The detective sat at the rear of the bar on the last stool 

over there,': she pointed. A thaw se.emed to be in the offing. )

Knights to the tune of 27- Just think, Lumbra and 

A news reporter has to 

wonder what kind of 

quotes he or she would 

get in interviewing 

some great names from 

the past just before they 

met their gyeat 

matches. For instance, 

what would Custer have 

said when asked how his 

troops felt going into the 

battle of Little Big 

Horn? Emperor 

Napolean, do you think 

the weather will affect 

your roopsin Russia? 

The same feeling 

existed when this reporter 

approached SHS 

football coach Dora 

D'Angelo earlier this 

week for a quote on the 

Blue Knights' opponent 

this Saturday at Fantana 

Field, the Falcons 

of St. Paul• George 

Pleau's team is undefeated 

at 7-0 and has 

completely demolished 

every team in their way 

so far this season• They 

have featured a 

devastating running attack, 

led by senior Brian 

McCutcheon (20 TD's), 

and a smooth passing 

'program, with Scott 

Dumont leading the 

way. As for their defense, 

Gary Morin and 

Perry Julius are the 

frontrunners of a 

"hungry" group• 

As for coach 

D'Angelo's feelings 

gd into th 0n : "We 

r b oming off the worst 

game we've played this 

season (27-8 loss to 

Eastern). As a matter of 

fact, one of the worst 

performances a team of 

mine has ever 

produced. How will they 

react against St. Paul? I 

sincerely can't answer 

that. However, if they 

don't respond, they'll 

have theirheads handed 

to them in a hurry. 

"St. Paul is one of the 

finest high school foothall 

teams I've seen in a 

long time. They come 

off that ball so quick you 

"can't imagine it until 

you've seen them• That 

McCutcheon: he's 

owerful; he's quick; 

e's speedy; he's fast: 

he's aggressive. There 

aren't any adjectives in 

the book that will fully 

describe him• 

"Scott" Dumont is the 

best quarterback in this 

end o the state. I can't 

imagine anyone being 

better; he is definitely 

college material ... a 

very fluid quarterback, 

if you know what I 

mean• At 6', he has good 

size. And he's not afraid 

to run ... doesn't worry 

about getting hurt• He is 

smart ... won't throw 

the ball up for grabs• 

He'll scramble, sprintout 

on options and 

freeze the linebackers. 

"Their defense is 

super on pursuit ... ve 

aggressive, • quick, w itr 

good size 

"This team has no 

weakness, and I mean 

looked but couldn't spot 

one weakness! They 

just come at 'ya !" 

Meanwhile, D'Angelo 

laments his team's lack 

of effort. "What bothers 

me is, the kids never 

were flustered this 

season, even in the two 

ties, but Saturday 

against Eastern they 

just gave u'p ... mentally 

and physically. I'll tell 

you one thing," continued 

an angry Blue 

Knight coach, "there 

will be some changes in 

our lineup this Saturday 

!" 

Fightin' Falcons 

St Paul started their 

season with a blistering 

win over Buckly of Hartford 

(44-6) and followed 

that with clobberings 

over Kennedy of Waterbury 

(42-10), Berlin (34- 

6), Bristol Eastern (41- 

8), Northwest Catholic 

(40-6), Bristol C n ral 

(42-'[4) and S6uth 

Catholic (39-14). And, 

said Falcon coach 

George Pleau, "We are 

yet to play our starters 

more than three quarters 

in one game•" 

This is Pleau's first 

year at the helm of St. 

Paul, having come down 

from Mass. to take over 

a post vacated by Al 

Pellegrinelli, who 

moved on t6 Berlin High 

School• Pleau coached 

high school football 

teams in the Bay State 

for 14 years, so he 

comes in with a wealth 

of experience. "I just 

love it down here," commented 

the coach who 

sounds like the prover- 

bial coach with the 

golden apple What 

coach anywhere 

wouldn't love to come 

into a situation such as 

his? St. Paul is a school 

with great spirit• You 

can feel it in the 

hallways and at their 

games -- all sports -- win 

or lose• It's a spirit 

Southington High School 

used to have, but exists 

no more. Walk through 

the corridors of SHS and 

see if you can spot one 

Foster on the walls 

yping the football 

team's next game? 

As for coach Pleau's 

comments of the 

Falcons for '76: "Our 

kids have put out right 

from our first practice. I 

couldn't ask any more 

from them. McCutcheon 

is a fine example, 

coming_ )ff ! year of 

non-activity. Brian had 

a lower back problem 

last season and couldn't 

play. He was a 

scorekeeper last year 

and a scorer this season. 

He is a heck of a kid ... 

dedicated, great determination 

and will 

power. 

"As for our quarterback, 

Scott Dumont, 

he is the finest high 

school quarterback I 

have ever coached, 

throwing and running. 

"Our leader on defense 

is Gary Morin 

(6'1"-185), an outstanding 

defensive end. If 

there is one better 

around here, I have yet 

to see him. Then we 

have Perry Julius 

(5'10" - 265), a tackle. 

Perry is , big _and 

quick, anetaoring the 

center of., our line. 

Another btg p,layer on 

defense for u . iS Our 

other end, Mike Miller, 

a junior. Mike played a 

great game last 

weekend. Then there's 

Chip Snow, a safety, 

who also played a great 

game against South 

Catholic." 

George Pleau isn't 

about to downgrade 

SHS. "I saw them agains{ 

Central (14-14tie) 

and I thought they were 

the better team. They 

impressed me on defense. 

I don't know what 

happened to them 

against Eastern, but 

they sure looked good 

when I saw them," concluded 

the undefeated 

coach. 

As for Saturday's 

game, it will mark the 

first of three left for the 

Knights, who are now 3- 

2-2 overall and 2-2-1 in 

Colonial Conference 

play. Whether they 

choose to give up_ and 

die is up to them. 

Anything less than a 100 

per cent effort wilt spell 

an embarrassing afternoon 

for them at Fontana 

Field•

Knights Soccer Team Heads 

For State Tournament Action - 

The SHS soccer team 

will find out this 

weekend who the.y'll 

draw for an opemng 

state tournament oppionent. 

The Knights 

nished their season 

with a very productive 

10-3 recbrd, winning 

their last game from 

Plainville on the road, 4- 

I, Monday. 

The victory over the 

Blue Devils was 

especially gratifying 

since it meant 

Southington swept both 

their games with', arch 

rival Plainville this 

season. It was also a 

high water mark for 

Danny LaPorte, who 

scored two goals in the 

game to set a record for 

goals in one season at 

SHS. Danny wound up 

with 11 for the season, 

topping the previous 

record of ten. 

Plainville scored the 

first goal of the game 

when Riera scored at 

1:26 of the first period. 

However, the Knights 

went right to work, 

tieing the game on a 

goal from Gary Hennessy 

at 4:38 of the first 

roriod, with an assist 

m Danny LaPorte. 

LaPorte then put 

Southington in the 

driver's seat for good 

with. a second period 

goal (5:41), with an 

assist from Mike Giannotti 

and Bob Ouellette. 

Hennessy and LaPorte 

both scored insurance 

goals in the last period; 

Hennessy's at 1:13 and 

LaPorte's at 3:12 Hennessy 

assisted on 

LaPorte's goal while 

Gary's goal deflected 

off Gary Soucy, Plainville's 

goalie. 

Bret Aldleri was in

Valley Midget Football 

The rains intervened 

last Sunday and the 

Championship Playoffs 

in the Southington 

Valley Midget Football 

League had to be pest- 

Cote Wins 

More Gold 

One of Southington's 

finest "young" figure 

skaters has just completed 

a most successful 

season. Celeste Gate, a 

ten year old student 

from Central Elementary 

School skated in 

the Providence Rhode 

Island Freestyle Open 

Championships last 

weekend, winning a gold 

medal for her first place 

finish. 

To say the least, this 

has been a tremendous 

year for the diminutive 

talent, who resides at 

114 Woodland Dr. with 

her mother, father and 

13-year old sister, 

Christine, anotl er talen- 

ted skater. Celeste cam- 

Famed and rescheduled 

this Sunday at 

Recreation Park. 

The first game at 11 

a.m. will feature the 

third place teams in 

their respective 

divisions, the Jets versus 

the Chargers. At 1 

p.m. the second place 

clubs, the Broncos and 

Raiders, will square off. 

And at 3 .p.m. the first 

place eams, the 

Patriots and Oilers, will 

vie for the honor of 

representing the league 

in the Town Championship 

game a week 

once. 

League president Ray 

Gustavson has announced 

that despite 

weather setbacks the 

league will play all of its 

playoff ga.mes, eventually. 

Stating further, 

"We just couldn't let the 

kids .play ball last Sunday 

since the field was 

so wet and muddy from 

the early morning rains. 

Anytime there is a 

chance of-injury on that 

pored 11 times this year, kind of playing surface, 

placing in every event, we call off the game. 

She won nine gold We aren't going to rink 

medals, one silver and a these fine youngsters 

bronze, getting hurt."

"A LITTLE FULLER CU " 

SENICH'S 

SPORTSCOPE 

Knights' Cen er Of Intelligence 

It is the unique athlete who 

scores extremely high n the 

classroom and stars on the field. 

The list is not long when it comes 

to that type of "joc.k.' Oh, there 

are a couple that qmckly come to 

mind, .p ople like Bill Bradley of 

the Knlcks and Pat Haden of the 

Los Angeles Rams - Rhodes 

Scholars and excellent" athletes - 

but there aren't that many unfortunately. 

There is, however, an athlete at 

Southington High School blessed 

with that great combination of 

brains and brawn. His name is 

Mike Pallazo and he's the offensive 

center on the football 

team. In a recent PSAT Test (Pro- 

Scholastic Aptitude Test), Mike 

scored one of the highest marks in 

them out." 

Mike's sophomore year con-, 

sisted of playing some jayvee ball 

and in his junior year h.e go,t ,some 

varsity action against a}oney 

"when Russ Barry was njured. 

Otherwise I didn't play much-last 

season," he stated. 

This season Palazzo has been an 

integral part of a solid offensive 

line for SHS, with the likes f 

Larry Celella, Phil DeBischop, 

Frank Guistiniani, Richard Bates 

and others. Mike is proud of his 

fellow mates in the "pits," an 

area that needs hard working, unselfish 

players who receive very 

little ink from game-to-game. 

"We have a good group," he 

justifiably added. "We've gone up 

against some bigger teams, like 

thenation;enoughsotomakehim Bristol Central, but we played 

a semi-finalist in the 1977 National some good ball. Specifically 

Merit Scholarship program, against Central, we made some 

SHS Principal John Gasecki in a 

recent edition of the Observer, 

"represent the top half of one percent 

of the nation's most 

academically talented young 

people." 

Mike Palazzo is also president 

of the senior class, a member of 

the National Honor Society and 

sports editor of the school paper, 

The Emblem. He was awarded 

the 1976 DAR prize, and the 

Christopher Cronkite History 

Prize. 

When asked what kind of a 

player and young man Mike 

Palazzo is, football coach Dam 

D'An elo was off and running 

"Mike is a super kid," Dam commented 

with that twinkle in his 

eye. "He is not only bright in the 

classroom, but on the field. Marry 

times he will notice something we 

might be doing wrong and he'll 

tell us about it. We make an adjustment 

and things are running 

smooth again. And he's a real 

gentleman with a tremendous 

personality .. what a great credit 

to our school!" 

Palazzo didn't play football in 

his younger years. "I didn't even 

realize there was a program for 

kids when I was young," he told 

The Observer recently. "And 

when I did, I weighed over 115 

peunds, so I was ineligible." 

Weight has always been a 

problem for the 5'8" - 215 pound 

nneman. "He worked very hard to 

keep in shape," said an admiring 

coach D'Angelo. "I had to do a lot 

of running thi past summer ... a 

lot of sprints preparing for the 

summer camel And it paid off," 

indicated Palazzo. 

The Blue Knights' center 

started his football career at De- 

Paolo Junior High School where 

he played defefise and offensive 

and more than held our own. (8-8 

tie). 

"Against Cheshire (SHS won 21- 

6) and Glastonbury (14-14 tie) we 

were really coming off the ball, 

but against Pulaski we just 

weren't doing it for some reason. 

The Pulaski game was a 

frustrating game for us (SHS lest 

15-14 and fell to third place in the 

Colonial Conference). I think we 

just lost our c0ol in that game, but 

we were all putting out " 

Asking Mike Palazzo for his observation 

of recent Blue Knight 

ikames finds him saying things 

e, "I didn't really see the play." 

The reason being, he ordinarily 

wears glasses, except on the field. 

"I just keep looking at the 

scoreboard when I'm on the 

sidelines and when I see fourth 

down coming up, I put on my 

helmit ready to go in. I don't get to 

see some of our touchdowns until 

we see films of the game the 

following week." 

However, fighting the weight 

problem, not having the best 

eyesight, doesn't phase Mike 

Palazzo: he just keeps trooping 

along, being a success at 

whatever he endeavors. His next 

assignment might just well be at 

Harvard. "I'd love to go there," 

he said with that far offlook in his 

eyes. "But that won't be easy 

becaust it's so competitive getting 

in there. However, I am in the 

process of applying. ,The only 

school I've formally apphed for so 

far has been UConn. Because of 

my high marking in the PSAT I've 

heard from schools like Michigan 

State and Northwestern." 

As for Mike's future in football, 

"If I wind up at a school with a 

program I feel eapable of playing 

n, I'd give it a try, but if I go to 

one of those larger schools, I know 

I couldn't play on that level. Right

One big thing about 

Norton that tricked a lot 

of people: Dur n the

did most of his fighting 

in the last 30 seconds of 

those rounds, making it 

seem and look as if he 

won the round. While A]i 

landed punches and 

blocked punches during 

the first 2 minutes of 

these rounds, Norton's 

fighting at the "end" of 

these rounds left a fresh 

impression on most 

people; it appeared he 

won thee rounds, while 

he actually won only the 

ending Ofthose rounds. 

-I also counted the 

punches landed "clean

that to make it work

adwsed Director of 

Recreation Bill Masci 

that all existing equipm.e.nt

Masci had *sought a

by the league last year. 

Th town had gwen the 

Jaycees $1,200 to help

been used to purchase 

the uniforms, to whom

some $2,900 in running

The Jaycees also 

stated they will continue 

to support the league in 

one of three ways: running 

and end-of-season 

banquet, funding the 

league or purchasing 

equipment for the

asked, if possible, the
