FRANK c. cf-xti2icALA July 27, 1957 Frank C. Catricala, well known music director at Troy High School for twenty-one years, was born in Watervliet and received his education at Watervliet High School, New York College for Teachers, Union College, and the University of Chicago. A versatile musician, Mr. Catricala studied music at the Troy Conservatory of Music, the Institution of Musical Pedagogy at Skidmore, and the Ernest William School of Mu- sic, and received his trumpet training from Edwin F. Goldman, the famous bandleader of New York City. Mr. Catricala's extensive musical career included private instructing at the Troy Con- servatory ot Music, and participation in the Troy Vocal Society as Trumpeter. He was also a member of a trio heard frequently on the radio. Some ot us at Troy High School were privileged enough to know and learn from Mr. Catricala, others of us respected this sensitive musician for his dedication to all phases of music at Troy High School and the evidence of this dedication each year at the June concert. Faculty and students alike regret his loss.
