DeSoles Remembers MR. DINGO Mr. Arthur Muzzi Before the yeorbook staff even typed the letter to the potential benefac- tor last year, Mr. Arthur Muzzi had his personal check and one from the bingo committee ready, as he did every year. We affectionately called him Mr. BINGO, bur we could well call him Mr. Support.” He was always one of the first to support any DeSoles project. We can thank Mr. Muzzi for DeSoles' having a marching band. When Mr. Tracey came here as principal in September 1975, The Drum Corps Pageant, a project of Art Muzzi's, sponsored by DeSoles, was already in the works. Mr. Tracey then remembered how he knew this man even before coming to Geneva. It seems Art Muzzi recruited musicians from Bishop Kearney High School when Mr. Tracey was the principal, to march in the Geneva Ap- pleknockers, a qualify marching band of which Mr. Muzzi wos the manager. Both men knew the benefit of such a program in our school and so the search for instrumental teachers began at DeSoles. Who could ever take his place running Dingo? Never mind. Mr. Muzzi rook care of that himself. Even while in the hospital, he'd call Mrs. D. for further in- struction and reminders. Mr. Priano, who now takes charge of BINGO, says He kept better records than the IPS. There was no problem stepping in.” We know from seeing his quiet and generous ways where his son 5reve gets his exompole. He wos an energetic person, always working for o worthwhile project, always supporting his family. We will oli miss Mr. Arthur Muzzi.
