Eric Pang as WHHS Student Representatives

to the Board of Education.

The West Haven Football Alumni Association will honor one of its all-time greats, Bert Siclari, at a roast at the West Haven Italian-American Club Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m.

Siclari was a defensive star on the famed 1968 West Haven state championship team that was ranked fifth in the nation.

After college he returned to his alma mater to begin a long coaching career, first under the late Tom Hunt and then as an assistant to longtime veteran coach Ed McCarthy. He retired from coaching in 2002 after 33 years.

Tickets for the roast are $30, which includes a ziti dinner with beer, wine and soda. A cash bar for liquor will also be available.

A large crowd is expected, so an advanced ticket purchase is recommended.

For table reservations or ticket information, call Tinker Blake at 203-934-3820 or e-mail trblake@snet.net.

Other ticket contacts are George Macleman at 203-528-8145, Mike Keyes at 203-530-3660, Ted Keyes at 203-619-1738 and

 Special Note to Parents About Early Dismissals

Re:         Dismissal procedure for illness/injury

If a student is being dismissed due to illness/injury the student must be dismissed from the nurses office. This procedure protects student safety and serves as a record for the nurses.
