ABOUT THIS AWARD
As a former football player Paul used to joke that Debate should have an "Iron Man" award for the person with perfect attendance, and at first the Gubitosi award was designed to be just that. Paul's bizarre knowledge of and affection for Frank Sinatra led to its second name, "The Chairman of the Board." But as we have reflected on Paul's character, leadership and huge personality, this award evolved to something far more important. It is HHS Debate's highest award.
