The Year

Sr. Theresa Clare was principal.

With help from student government officials, the Knights of Columbus held the annual Mardi Gras Ball at the Coconut Grove ballroom to raise money for Judge.

Mac Williams and James Riley presented a bronze plaque with engraved verse to Jordan High School, which was mourning the deaths of 24 students in a train-bus crash. Reilly came up with the idea.

Classmate Jean DeBouzek, honored by Judge in 1995 for his contributions to the community, said at the ceremony that Judge gave him a respect for authority, something he lacked when he came in. Case in point: He drove his Model A Ford, nicknamed Abigail, down the front steps of the original school. “I never actually got thrown out,” he added. “Because if I had, I would have been in real trouble at home.”

Plays

“When Christmas Comes,” starring James Maher, Jane Morton and Junior Melich and the Judge Memorial Band, and “The Gift of Christmas,” starring Roylance Reese, Nadine Spell, Dorothy Smith and Corinne Larsen, with the Judge Glee Club.

Sports

Football was limited to a four-game schedule. Coach Ken Larsen’s 16-member team shut out two opponents (Wasatch and Morgan) while being shut out twice (by North Summit and Park City).

Wally Morse took over the basketball program. Morse was All-State in football and basketball at Granite High, where he graduated in 1933. He then went to St. Mary’s College in California, where he lettered for three years in football and baseball. He earned All-America honors in football his senior year and was an assistant for one year at Granite High before coming to Judge.
