ANTHONY SCAFATI AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT
The Board of Governors of the A. F. L. A. at a Special Meeting on November 22nd awarded its Certificate of Merit to Mr. Anthony Scafati of Elizabeth, N. J.
Mr. Scafati was an amateur in the New Jersey Division several years ago. Attending college in the South, he became interested in the professional side of fencing after assisting his college in the development of a fencing team. He returned to Elizabeth, N. J. to establish the Salle Scafati where in a few years his pupils began to gain prominence through local and national fencing success. He was brought to the attention of the Board of Governors a year ago and the work of his pupils during the remainder of the season was watched and approved by the Committee on Awards.
Unanimously approved by the Executive Committee of the New Jersey Division, Mr. Scafati was again urged upon the Board of Governors at the opening of the present season. The victory of his pupils in all four of the Prep fencing competitions opening the New Jersey Schedule decided the Board in his favor. This marks the first award of this nature this season.
Mr. Scafati confines most of his activities to his own Salle d’Armes and The Pingry School, a private boys' school in Elizabeth.
