During the Summer

Administrator Fr. James Kenny issued a “Special Bulletin” warning parents that “boys will not be permitted to wear Levis of any color and no trousers are to be skin tight or unreasonably above the ankle. Girls will not be permitted in attendance with skirts above the knees. This evil made its appearance during the past year. We do not want to see it come back.”

Representing Judge at Girls State were Judith Vitzthum and Donna Tippets.

The school was represented at Boys State by William Barber, Steven Kelly and Harlan Schmitt.

Seven Boys Sodality leaders accompanied Frs. Lawrence Spellen and William Flegge to the Catholic Action Summer School in San Francisco for a week in July. The students were Tim Hill, Neil Zeiger, Mark Clinton, Arthur Griffin, Doug Grose, Jimmy Hernon and Jim Brandon.

A chapel was established on the basement floor of the new Judge building, the first in the school’s history. It was seen as a room for unifying the student body. On Oct. 12, students formed an honor guard from the front door of the convent into the school while the Blessed Sacrament was carried to the chapel for the first time.

The Year

National Merit Finalists: Kathleen Poehling and William Lansing

National Merit Semifinalist: Martin Glantz

The Oblate era began. Enrollment was up to 620 as Judge embarked on a new co-institutional program with priests overseeing the boys while the nuns took responsibility for the girls in several classes – initially religion, English and biology. Starting in September, the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales order assumed control of the school from the Sisters of the Holy Cross, who had been in charge since 1927. Fr. James P. O’Neill became principal and Fr. Thomas Gillespie the guidance counselor. The previous principal, Sr. Anna Teresa, left to head the French department at Holy Cross Dunbarton College in Washington, D.C. Sr. Giovanni took over as superior of the Holy Cross Sisters and Judge’s associate principal. She also was Dean of Girls and teacher of senior English and journalism. Other Holy Cross Order sisters still teaching at Judge were Sr. Thomasina, assistant guidance director plus English and French; Sr. Teresa Clare, U.S. history; Sr. Rosarita, mathematics (replacing Sr. Agnes Eugenie); Sr. Thomasita, biology and mathematics; Sr. Paulette, library (replacing Sr. Thaddeus); Sr. Marilla, junior English and moderator of Senior Sodality; Sr. Eugene, music; Sr. Bethania, English and reading; Sr. LaSalette, business. Oblates joining the faculty were Fr. Eugene Cantanzaro, Fr. William Donahue, Fr. Amandus Hillman, Fr. John Fallon and Brother Neil McMenamin. Four Diocesan priests, including newcomer Fr. George Davich, and seven lay teachers also were on the faculty. On Sept. 9, Bishop Joseph Lennox Federal blessed St. Bernard’s Hall as the new home of the Oblates, at 941 E. 500 South.

As a co-instructional institution, the Judgeonian reported in November 1962, “girls and boys attend the same school, but for the most part are in separate classes [initially for religion, English and biology]. The girls and a few classes of boys are taught by the Sisters of the Holy Cross, who to some extent share in the administration of the school.” Girls entered classrooms on one side of the hall, boys on the other. “The general feeling toward this change is favorable. With the boys and girls in separate classes, the students are able to concentrate better and feel freer to express their ideas and opinions. It is generally agreed, too, that a school where the boys outnumber the girls, as they do at Judge, should be under the direction of men. We are living in a period of transition. As the world is changing, so is Judge Memorial Catholic High School. Witness the new building completed in 1960; witness the change in administration; witness the increased number of the student body. The first graduating class included five boys and nine girls. This year, 59 boys and 44 girls – a class of 103 – will receive their diplomas.” Senior Judy Vitzthum, who had a regular newspaper column about Judge activities, weighed in later, agreeing with the administration’s conclusion that “nothing can be much more distracting to teenagers than the opposite sex.” Principal Fr. Thomas O’Neill announced that school uniforms will be introduced in the next school year – “for the girls, uniform will be blue and white checked skirts accompanying a blue blazer, and for boys the blue blazer topping gray trousers.”

Judge also unveiled a new school flag in the fall, combining the school emblem and the coats of arms of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales and the Sisters of the Holy Cross. Designing the flag were senior Sergio Del Hoyo and sophomore Michael Lopez.

Another sign of the changing times: When the National Catholic Education Association’s Northwest Regional Unit held its annual meeting at Judge. Its focus: “The Role of the Lay Teacher in Catholic Education.” More than 120 educators from eight Western states attended the one-day session.

At the year’s first assembly, the Student Council paraphrased President John F. Kennedy to present a challenge to the student body: “Ask not what your school can do for you but what you can do for your school.” A few students offered thoughts, including senior Jerry Mika – “we weren’t asked to come here; it’s an honor and a privilege. Don’t knock it. We like it.” And senior Tim Funk: “The spirit this year is better than ever, though we must realize that cliques will never be completely eliminated because of natural group interests.” Junior Steve Cotterell “pointed out the advantages of mass unity in manifesting school spirit, such as the singing of the school song.” To bolster participation, the council formed several subcommittees – traffic safety, headed by senior Jerry Mika; fire and safety, junior Mary Jean Furner; and intra-school affairs, senior Jim Caulfield. President Mickey Gallivan emphasized that activities were being developed around the school motto, “School Unity through Progressive Individualism.”

Senior Susan Burke was named Judge’s “Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow.”

The Debate Team included John McGean, Steve Kelly, Tom Brown, Ken Holland, Russ Davoren, Pat Ingleby and Craig Grubaugh. The moderator was Fr. John Fallon.

Steven Hunter and Tim Funk were contributing writers. The photographers were Steven Hofmeister, Roland Kimball, Allan Sloan and Steve Cotterell. Duane Ernhart and Bob Schaefer helped with sports. Judy McMahon was masthead composer and “keeper of the keys.” Sr. Giovanni was the sponsor. The journalism class served as typists. In the fall, editors McChrystal and Iucker shook hands with Vice President Lyndon Johnson when he came to Salt Lake City.

Judge’s School Song and its Victory Song were played over KNAK radio station, sung by the Cecelians Glee Club. The exposure was credited to sophomore Shari Richardson, who asked Sr. Eugene, the Glee Club’s moderator, if it was possible to tape some songs. Sr. Eugene agreed. “One morning soon after, the disc jockey himself, Les Nurene, came to try out the group and make the recording. He was most pleased with the results, and in congratulating the Cecilians, said that he would play the songs whether the team was victorious over South Summit or not. They were!”

Judge was one of two schools (Skyline was the other) cited by the Utah State Supervisor of Science Instruction as having adopted a new approach to teaching science. “The old concept,” science teacher Fr. Jerry Merrill told The Salt Lake Tribune, “was that science was a way of life aimed at technological advancement. The new concept is that science is one of the humanities aimed at understanding.” The article had a photograph showing Fr. Jerry Merrill working with Steve Kelly, Ed Carey and Jim Reineccius on a physics project examining momentum and energy changes in collisions.

Several tragedies occurred involving Judge students of this period. Senior Marilyn Chanson, 17, passed away during the winter in a hospital of “natural causes.” Senior Jim Cahoon died three years later. And just days after school let out for the summer, Richard Heath and Thomas Brown were killed in a traffic accident in Parleys Canyon. Leo James Hernon died two days later of injuries suffered in that crash. On the eve of a requiem Mass for Heath and Brown at the Cathedral, their classmates formed an honor guard from 6 p.m. to midnight. The lines reformed the next morning from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Msgr. William Vaughn’s eulogy noted that “thanks to the care of good parents, these boys sensed their responsibility to God. They grew in age and grace, and were good boys, eager to learn, eager to do, eager to live, holding to their high ideals of loyalty to God.”

Sports

The football team went 8-0 before losing 13-6 to defending state champion American Fork in the Class B quarterfinals. The Cavemen broke a 6-6 halftime tie, taking the second-half kickoff and marching the length of the field for the winning score. Mickey Gallivan scored the only Judge TD, a two-yard run in the second quarter. A season highlight for Coach Frank Klekas’s squad came in a 19-14 win over Park City when Dick Dudley jarred the football loose from the Park City quarterback with 42 seconds left. Mike Murray scooped up the fumble and ran 70 yards for the deciding score. End Dick Dudley and guard Dan Ravarino made first-team All-State in the Deseret News. Gallivan was second team. He also was first team in The Tribune, along with running back Scott Petrick. Dudley, Mike Mole, Dan Ravarino, Mike Murray and Gallivan were All-Region. Gallivan and Petrick were team co-captains. Other regulars were quarterback Murray, Tim Kelly, Gary Einspahr, John Thompson, Mike Heiser, Fred Meyer, John Ravarino, Mike Mole, Hans Suerig, Sonny Hathaway, Scott Patrick, Cliff Eccles, Dan Ravarino, Mike Kane, Art Griffin, Randy Stack, Alan Crandall, Gary McDonough, Tim Funk, Paul Purcell and Joe Zaelit.

The freshman football team lost its opener but went on to win the rest of its games, averaging 35 points per game for Coach Ron Nay, who played one year with the Dallas Cowboys.

The basketball team went to the Class B finals before losing to BY High, 58-51, in front of a packed fieldhouse at the University of Utah. Greg Gardner led Judge with 17, Jim Caulfield had 10 and Sonny Tangaro nine. “For Judge it was a bitter loss but the Bulldogs can be proud of the fact that they went further in the state basketball race than any team in Judge Memorial history,” The Tribune reported. Gardner was first team All-State for the Deseret News, Tangaro made its “Little All-State team” for shorter players. Tangaro made the Tribune’s All-State team. He “obviously is as good a leader as there was in the state tournament and probably was the best dribbler,” the paper said, adding that Gardner “just about falls over backwards when he fires his jumper.” Gardner averaged 13.5 points per game. A tenacious defense led Coach Frank Klekas’s team to an 8-0 record in region play, followed by state tournament wins over Piute (67-59), defending state champion American Fork (64-57) and Hurricane (67-59, with Thomas and Tangaro each scoring 19). Other key players for Klekas were Ray Thomas, Gary Einspahr, Mike Murray, Steve Cotterell, Dennis Bianchi, Kim O’Reilly and Terry Redmond.

Patricia Woll coached girls basketball to a 4-5 record. Her lineup featured Delayne Fernandez, Mary Praught, Victoria Nielsen, Patricia Terry, Mary Borich, Agnes Graven, Jo Beth Wesley, Darlene Graven, Donna Wesley, Virginia Vegelen and Eileen Walsh.

Meadow Brook golf professional Mick Riley, later to have a course in Murray named after him, had a major impact on the Judge golf program. His son, Dick, was the coach. Riley also had three grandsons in the Judge program – Dion, Brian and Sean Riley. Along with Mike Koeferl and Lloyd Fellenz, the golfers won a tournament at Brigham Young University.

Dominant pitching by Terry Redmond and Jim O’Reilly carried the Judge baseball team to the region title with a 9-2 record, holding four opponents to just one run each. The Bulldogs lost to North Sevier, 5-2, in the state semifinals, giving up a three-run homer with one out in the seventh inning. The Bulldogs also failed to capitalize much on seven North Sevier errors. Redmond started on the mound for Coach Frank Klekas; the loss went to reliever O’Reilly. Shortstop Steven Hunter had a triple in the loss while John Lyons had two hits. Mike Murray, Mike Kane and Ray Thomas led the team’s hitting attack. Other starters were Mike Bruno, George Raine, Bob Gamble and John Seeronen. Rounding out the squad were Bob Griffin, Pat Clark, Richard Fassio, John Bircumshaw, Greg Kelsey, Jim Reineccius, Warren Stack, Douglas Kelsey and Gary Rodman. A noteworthy win during the season came against North Summit. Judge won that one 29-1, pounding out 20 hits and taking advantage of 12 errors.

In his master’s thesis, Klekas said his track and tennis teams struggled primarily because they were so young. The swimming team also was “handicapped by a limited and inconvenient practice schedule. Their problems would be completely solved if Judge had a swimming pool.”

At the region track meet, Greg Gardner won the discus with Paul Purcell third, Judge finished two-three-four in the javelin with John Ravarino, Howard Holman and John Kelly, who also was third in the shot put; Thomas Sweet was second in the 880 and Jim Borden was third in the 220. Other members of the track team were Terry Hartt, Tim Funk, Jerry Lynch, Gary Holman, Steven Menard, David Daly, Art Hudachko, David Walker, Greg Gardner, William Hill, Steven Rudman, James Hefferon, Ben Schreiner, Tony Winterer, Donald Turner, Tim O’Brien, Daniel Smith, Richard Cox, Joseph Walsh, Harry Bannon, Thomas Skanter, John Lenartz, John Barbury, Paul Purcell, Tim Kelly, Duane Young and Michael McKone.

In tennis, Mike Lahey and Gary Einspahr split time at No. 1 singles; whoever didn’t play teamed with Mike Baker at No. 1 doubles. Jim Baker, Duane Young and Jim Caulfield played No. 2 doubles.

Seniors Gary Einspahr and Jim Caulfield won an all-school table tennis tournament before a full house in the gymnasium. They defeated the freshman team of Tony Collette and Jim Bailey, who advanced to the finals with a victory over sophomores John Thompson and Paul Purcell.

Written by Mike Gorrell

Year by Year at Judge - Our Living History, was researched and written by Mike Gorrell, 1972 Judge Memorial alum and award-winning journalist who spent more than 44 years in the newspaper business, including the last 35 at The Salt Lake Tribune. A former teacher, John "Sonny" Tangaro, recruited Gorrell to help the Alumni Committee plan the school's Centennial Celebration. This project is his contribution, recapping what Judge Memorial's 12,000-plus graduates accomplished in their time as Bulldogs.
