It's a time to recollect fond memories of glorious days gone by. The grauduating class of 1953 of, the University of Notre Dame celebrated its 30th birthday last Saturday, and Penza, along with his ND teammates, were honored at halftime of the Notre Dame- Michigan State Football game for their accomplishments 30 years ago. Hie 1953 Fighting Irish went 90-1 that season, Penzas senior year, but they did not receive a bid to go to a post-season bowl game. "Notre Dame never went to bowl games back then. It was a university policy. They didn't go to bowl games until 10 years after I left the school," Penza said. He said the players were allowed, however, to participate in the East-West Shrine Game or the North-South game because they were played during the Christmas holidays. * "I guess I would have liKed to have played with my team (in a bowl game). I would have like to have been part of what's going on today," he added. "But that's what the university policy was at the time. After all, there were better teams than us. There was the '49 (national championship) team which was outstanding." He said during his senior year of school he knew the University of Wise and Marquette University were interested in his athletic talents, but that he had no idea Notre Dame was looking at him. So on graduation day, he received quite a surprise. "We were standing in line at graduation and the football coach comes up and says, 'Don, I've got some news for you. Notre Dame just offered you a scholarship.' I was surprised to say the least," Penza said. while Penza was at Notre Dame, the team posted a 24-4-2 record was ranked No. 1 nationally for nine weeks. "There was a tremendous amount of togetherness on that team. We were very close," Penza recalled. "Nobody tried to outshine anybody else and if somebody got the recognition the whole team was proud of it." That team included several All- Americans and it included the 1953 Heisman and Maxwell trophies winner, Johnny Lattnec. "He (Lattner) was as well known then as they (Heisman Trophy winners) are today, Penza said. Penza was one of those who won All American honors his senior year and, after a two-year military stint during the Korean War years, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Penza was a 17th-round draft choice of the Steelers and he started his first two professional games during the 1957 exhibition season. Ttey turned out to be his first and last. "I was running downfield on a kickoff team in the army and I got my knee pretty >. In the second exhibition game Jteelers I hurt the same knee and I knew then my pro career was over," he said. "In those days, knee injuries signalled the end of your career. I knew then it was time to get on with my life and get on with what I wanted to do." Getting on with his life meant teaching and coaching. He was graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in political which later led nim into science-a degree a career in politics, 'But I went to some more teaching credits and one year later I had my first teaching job," he said. •* That first job was at Assumption High School in Wisconsin Rapids (wis.) where he coached for 11 years. His varsity football teams were 68-18-2 with five conference championships over that span. He also coached junior varsity basketball for six seasons with a 96-24 record and his freshman basketball teams won 77 games without a loss. As a trac k coach his teams did not lose a dual meet and won four consecutive conference championships in his six years as coach. Penza served in the Unites States Marine Corps and achieved the rank of captain. He played and coached football at Quantico (W. Va.), where his team was 12-0, and at Camp Pendelton where the team he coached attained an 11-1 mark. Penza also took time out to serve as mayor of Wisconsin Rapids for 10 years from 1968-1978. He served on several other state and national committees. He was tinted on to the National League of ies Committee that worked to lobby for legislation to help cities. He was the presideiirof the State League of Wisconsin, and was on a number of aa hoc committees in Wisconsin. He was also appointed by the governor to chair the Council of Criminal ustice that included seven couties. Penza was hired as head football coach at Marian Central on July 28,1981 and has led the Hurricane gridders to an 11-7 mark during his first two seasons. He also is the head girls basektball coach and serves as an assistant track coach. "I think it's a very fulfilling occupation. It's very rewarding. I enjoy working with young people," he said. "I really enjoyed it when I first got at it, and while I was mayor I wanted to work with and among young Sile. As a politician you can see how ts react and behave and wonder what would happen if you help influence their early social behavior."
