Welcome!

To the 2o22 athletic hall of fame induction ceremony, Sunday, July 24, 2022

W

ith its opening in 1928, its re-founding in 1980, and the inception of the international program in 2011, John Bapst High School has evolved. In addition to its outstanding academics through the years, there has been another constant: the school’s athletic program. From the time inaugural Athletic Director Norbert Dowd gave the school its purple and white colors and Crusader mascot until today, a proud athletic tradition has grown and flourished, and it is celebrated through the John Bapst Athletic Hall of Fame.

Since 1972, inductees have spanned every decade of the school’s history; they made their mark as student-athletes in a wide range of sports and they have helped to write the history of a school known by its motto of Achievement, Integrity, and Respect and by the traditions of academic excellence, community, and school spirit that have made John Bapst one of New England’s top high schools. For their achievements as student-athletes and their place in the history of the school, we honor and celebrate all members of the John Bapst Athletic Hall of Fame.

Go Crusaders!

Please congratulate our new inductees For a complete list of John Bapst Athletic Hall of Fame members, see page 16.

GUS

CIANO '66 G

us was born in Brooklyn, New York, April 1948, as “my poppa’s son. I hit the ground, I was on the run.” Before coming to John Bapst Gus lived in New York, Texas, Arizona, Missouri, California, the territory of Alaska (it was not yet a state), Ohio, Germany, Italy, and Spain. By the time he was 17 years of age he had spent on average of 1.7 years in each place. In Bangor, where he spent ten months, he found his fourth high school in four years: John Bapst. While at Bapst he lettered in football, basketball, track, wrestling and boxing.

Gus’s first effort at organized sports was in the boxing ring at six years old. Later, in Europe during his sophomore and junior years, his teams won the league championship in football and he was the league’s most valuable player. His teams were also second in Europe in basketball and first in track.

“My high school in Spain gave me the experience

of playing basketball against the professionals of Real Madrid. We also ran track in exhibition against the Spanish Olympic Track Team.

“And we know what happened in my senior year at Bapst! Go Crusaders!”

Gus went on to play football at The University of Dayton before military service in the Army, and then at Central State University in Ohio following that service. He attained a commercial pilot’s license and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. He went on to spend 36 years working as a manufacturing manager.

His greatest accomplishment and treasure: his two daughters, Lisa and Nicole. He is also the proud grandparent of Noah (17), Jonas (14), and Layla (7).

Gus lives in Montgomery, Alabama alongside his daughter Nicole, her husband Rick, and granddaughter Layla.
