Is Bosco the Principal of Ampipe High?


If not, what is his job at the school?

reply

"tell bosco, I'll be seein' him around."

Good question.

reply

I figured Bosco worked at the mill because of how offended he was in the bar when Stef spoke ill about the mill.

What makes you think he worked at the school? I think I remember seeing him at the pep rally, but I just figured he was there because he was part of their booster club (or whatever they called it in that town).

Early in the film Bosko is seen walking down one of the hallways in the school wearing an apron. I've always wondered if he worked in the cafeteria.

reply

The Ampipe principal is the grey-haired gentleman in the scene where the cops come to take Salvucci into custody. He was portrayed by then Johnstown High School principal, Donald Irwin. The teacher in that scene, Darlene Dudukovich, was also a teacher at Johnstown High.

reply

Yes, I always assumed he was some sort of lunch lady.

Great balls of fire!...*hiccup*...It's Rhett!

reply

He was talking down the school hallway wearing an apron. Likely worked in the
cafeteria.

reply

Since Bosco's sidekicks worked at the same factory as Stephan's brother and father, I assumed he worked there too.




No two persons ever watch the same movie.

reply

I assumed that Bosco worked the night shift at the mill and helped out as a cook for a few hours during the day.

I also think Bosco might have been a cook at the school.

In the beginning, when he is driving people to the school, he doesn't just drop them off. He parks the car at the school and a minute later it shows him walking down the hallway wearing what looks like an apron.

reply

He was a school employee. I believe he also was a former star football player for Ampipe...possibly during their 1960 state championship season(remember the flat ball the players touch in the locker room before the Walnut Heights game) Atleast that's impression I got during his pep rally speech, when he said that this game is for the whole town...to bring Ampipe back to what it once was.

reply

I remember his wearing an apron, too, so I thought his regular job was in the school's cafeteria. However, he also had a Cadillac, which he never could have afforded with that as his only income. There was a janitor at my HS, who was no more than about 35 years old and his wife drove an expensive car, also. Either her family had a lot of money or he was involved with organized crime. I thought that about Bosko, too.

reply

That car was a POS. The fact he was walking down the school halls wearing an apron is proof positive he worked in the school's cafeteria. Everything else is purely speculation. He didn't work at the mill. The reason he was taken aback by Joravich commnets about the mill was because he was a complete Ampipe homer. That was obvious.

reply

If Bosco were in fact a cafeteria worker, he would have gone to the school much earlier than the students. I took him for a teacher in Metal Shop. Shop teachers also wear aprons.

reply

Yes, but all faculty arrive at school before the students. I agree with those here, that suggest that he was the head booster,
"Helping the team the best I can" like Rudy at ND.

He could've also gone back home to pick up his Daughters and Daughter's friends, after putting the vats of institutional receipe'd chili on.

reply

Yes. "Bosco" ends in a vowel. Therefore, he's Italian. Hence, the 70's-style Cadillac, which was acquired from profits from extortion or money-lending, making him a mobster.

reply

The "vowel" is right, but most have transposed a consonant.
It's Bosko (with a K)
Slavic/Balkan I think.

A former player, probably, but not a star...no letter on his tight fitting varsity jacket.
Class of '71-'74 perhaps.
Even the team's equipment mangers would've earned their varsity letters on a league or state champion team.

reply

Seems as if Bosco worked in the school cafeteria--he walks down the hall talking to the brothers wearing his white apron. That's not a lab apron, and I doubt he would have been teaching home economics. He may have once worked in the steel mills and took a job when he got laid off.

reply

He was a stunt double for Ron Jeremy

reply

I guess you thought Bosco was principal because he wore a suit when he addressed the students at the pep rally.

reply

Bosco worked in the school cafeteria. Remember him walking the halls in a white apron?

The whole point of Bosco is that he's a bully, a man of no character or integrity. Watch him because he will drag you down however he can if you don't meet his expectations. He is, in other words, a mirror image of Nickerson.

reply

I agree that he's a part time aide, or the booster's president. And of course that he is a bully.
But, I'm judging by how he is received by the crowd at the pep rally, whether it's respect or fear, or both he certainly had to have been more than a "spoon"

reply

No, and something tells me he couldn't hold the responsibility of a job like that.

reply

Doesn't Bosco also give the introductions at the pep rally? Ha, Ive been watching this on TV this month and I cant figure out if hes a thug, one of the leaders of the school or something else.
