Reservations still available for Norwich Sports Hall of Fame banquet
NORWICH – The third induction of the Norwich High School Sports Hall of Fame is scheduled for Saturday, May 11, at the Canasawacta Country Club. Slated to enter the prestigious Hall this year are athletes Lew Newton ’28, Fred Swertfager ’56, Bobby Lazor ’94, Coach George Echentile, former Sun sports editor Bob Van Tine, and the undefeated 1952 football team.
Several members of the ’52 football team, which broke the scoring record set by the undefeated ’24 team, are expected to attend. They include Captain Ed Ackley, Nick Elia, Howard Ryan, Francis Brennan, Don Chirlin, Dick Bowers, Bob Endries, Jim Golden, Buster Gridley, Ernie Schraft, John Stewart, J R Hamilton, Gary Carpenter, John Aloi, Tony Vellake, Bob Fierro, Dick Fern, Butch Magistro, Frank Zaia, and mascot Phil Giltner. Others are expected to register in the next few days.
The Hall of Fame committee has announced that this year will see a few changes to the evening’s program, with shorter speeches and a buffet to suit the appetites of young and old alike. Also, every attendee will receive a 24-page program booklet, with stories and pictures of all the inductees to date.
One of the objectives of the committee is to expose present-day athletes to the heritage and traditions of Norwich sports, and it is understood that some financial assistance may be available to high school students who wish to attend, but don’t have the price of a ticket.
Reservations may still be made through next week at the YMCA, Wells Fargo Advisors, or by calling Fred Miers at 334-7166. The price is $35 per person.
