The Year

Enrollment rose to 705 from 619 a year earlier. Principal Fr. Thomas O’Neil predicted the growth would be permanent, each of the four classes having more than 100 students for the first time ever. The goal had been to add students each year after the new building was finished. Attendance at St. Mary-of-the-Wasatch declined by five – from 150 the previous year to 145. The four grades at Judge included 413 boys and 292 girls. St. Ambrose Parish contributed the most (83, including 24 freshmen), followed by St. Vincent’s (47), St. Ann’s (43), Lourdes-Salt Lake (41) and Cathedral (32). St. Olaf’s, Guadalupe and St. Patrick’s and Sacred Heart were all around 20. Non-Catholic enrollment was 8.9%.

Pam Cosco and Stu Holman were first attendants. The Junior Attendants were Sherry Sabol and John Ravarino. The Homecoming parade featured Sean Riley’s Stingray draped in red and gold bunting. At the dance, the Judgeonian noted that Sonny Hathaway and Paul Purcell, “and their best girls, Georgia Washko and Pam Hill, weren’t the least bit interested in admiring dance decorations. The only thing they were interested in was getting in on every single minute of the dreamy ‘n mellow last dance.”
The Pep Club, technically known this year as the Girls Athletic Pep Association, was led by officers Kathy Sabol, Martha McDonald, Paulette Fassio, Pat Smith, Kathy Arnold and Susan Cafarelli.

Fr. Murty Fahy was the adviser.
The Judgeonian cover for Dec. 20, 1963 had a photograph of President John F. Kennedy in the top right half with the cutline “JFK: Profile in Courage,” and below that “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask instead what you can do for your country,” taken from his Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961. Below that, “What more can a man do for his country than give up his life for it?” The story by Joan Ree started: “We all cried. We cried in pity for ourselves. For it was our loss when John Fitzgerald Kennedy departed from this world.” Margaret Allen wrote a sidebar about seeing Kennedy when he visited Salt Lake City on Sept. 26, 1963, less than two months before his assassination. “I never actually got into the [LDS Tabernacle] but I managed a place right next to the chain guarding the door. Once wedged in, I found that even when I picked my feet up, I didn’t move an inch. But as I watched him, I was happy because I had done what I had come for. It was the first and irrevocably the last time I saw him.”
The Basilean yearbook for the year was dedicated to Kennedy, with a photo of the smiling president at the airport, taken by an unidentified yearbook photographer, over the headline “Requiescat in Pace.” An accompanying block of text said “John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a man of great vigor, courage and determination. To the man, and to his ideals, the Senior Class of Judge Memorial Catholic High School dedicated the Basilean, 1964. In an era of passive conformity, President Kennedy emerged as a great personality who unwaveringly upheld the oral principles in which he firmly believed. Accepting these principles as a challenge, choosing them as guidelines, we will strive to follow this “Profile in Courage.”

In a letter read Sunday (when? xxxx) from the pulpit at all Masses at all parishes, Bishop Joseph Lennox Federal said Judge would be all boys starting in 1963-64. Some 300 girls of the student body will attend St. Mary’s, leaving an expected 425 boys at Judge. “This move will give us accommodations for an additional 700 students without a new high school building,” Bishop Federal said. Space was needed because Judge received students from six Catholic grade schools and was expecting more with two additional elementary schools under construction. “More and better high school education for our youth,” Bishop Federal added.
Judge had been a co-educational institution since the 1920s, operated by the Salt Lake Diocese, while St. Mary’s was an exclusive girls’ academy run by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Cross. With the change, both schools would be run by the diocese, operated as twin institutions “whereby co-curricular activities of each of the schools will be coordinated.” Tuition was the same for both schools, with the Oblates running Judge while Holy Cross sisters operated St. Mary’s. “We want and desire the students of each of the schools to be associated,” Fr. James Kenney said.

At the Serra Club dinner, Bishop Joseph Lennox Federal presented awards for a religious vocations essay contest to juniors George Trosper and Karen Kuemmerle.

Sports
STATE CHAMPIONS – The football team won the Class B title with an undefeated season, climaxed by a 14-6 victory over Lehi in the championship game at the University of Utah. The Bulldogs swept through the regular season with five shutouts, allowing no more than 13 points in one game, seven and six in two others. It scored 255 in building an 8-0 league record. “This team certainly ranks with the best I have coached in nine years at Judge,” Coach Frank Klekas said happily. “It’s the biggest line I’ve ever had. Our team has more depth and balance this year than ever.” Quarterback Mike Murray ran the offense behind a dominating line, junior Jim Ravarino providing the punch inside while sophomore Mike Sandor had the speed to go outside. Freshman John Pezely served notice he would be a force in coming years, picking off a Lehi pass in the end zone late in the first half to stem one Pioneer threat. Sandor also had a key interception after Lehi had driven earlier to the Bulldog 10-yard-line. The Deseret News heaped praise on Judge: “With little question left that Judge Memorial is the top B football power in Utah, the only controversy remaining Monday was the 1963 team’s place in history. But there can be little doubt on one point – they repose on one of the higher rungs of prep grid greatness, this too from a school that has a long legacy of football accomplishments. They are the only school in the state with an unbeaten, untied record.” After a scoreless first half, Judge broke through in the third quarter when Sandor slipped into the end zone, capping a drive that featured the running of Ravarino and Stuart Holman. Lehi came back with a scoring drive but Mike Heiser blocked the extra-point kick, leaving the score 7-6. Judge responded with a 15-play drive. With linemen Tim Kelly, Paul Purcell, Ray Thomas, Sean Riley and Skip Papanikolas opening holes, backs Ravarino, Holman, Pezely and Murray carried the ball inside the 10. Ravarino took it in from there with seven minutes left. That’s when Pezely and Sandor came up with their interceptions to seal the championship. To get there, the Bulldogs beat Moab 20-6 in the semis. The game was a muddy battle on the Judge field, with Ravarino scoring two touchdowns. Murray, Stewart Holman, Mike Mole, Kelly and Heiser received All-State recognition. Holman and Murray were co-captains. Other key players were Sonny Hathaway, sophomore Bob Gamble, Wynn Paoletti, Purcell, Mike Kane, Ray Thomas, John Seeronen and Kent Holland. Rounding out the championship squad were John Kelly, Wayne Holtshouser, Jim Borden, Kent Holland, Alan Crandall, Dion Riley, Randy Stack, Jim Adams, Terry Pantuso, Warren Jefferies, Tony Marrelli, John Ravarino, Rogers Dannels, Bill Papanikolas, Skip Sandor, Brian Riley, John Peters, Al Leddy, Don Turner, Greg Kelsey, Dan Wells, Larry Canoso.

The boys basketball team finished third in the Class B state tournament, losing in the semifinals to South Sevier, 64-52. That was the only loss for Coach Frank Klekas’s 23-1 team, led by All-Staters Ray Thomas, Terry Redmond and Dennis Bianchi. At state, South Sevier came back from a nine-point halftime deficit (30-21) to lead 42-40 after three quarters. South Sevier then was able to break the press that Judge threw up in the fourth quarter and pulled away. South Sevier later went on to win the Class B crown, beating Lehi 61-52. Redmond led Judge with 18 points while Thomas and Bob Gamble had 10 each. In the battle for third place, Redmond had 21, Steve Cotterell 13 and Thomas 10 as Judge beat Emery 68-51. The Bulldogs swamped Moab 82-54 in the tourney opener, led by Ray Thomas (24 points), Redmond (19) and John Hunter (10). Judge then thumped Millard 69-54 behind 18 by Thomas, 13 by Bianchi, 11 each from Gamble and Cotterell and Redmond’s 10 rebounds. The rest of the lineup consisted of John Thompson, Dan Wells, Mike McKone, Paul Purcell, Mike Murray and Alan Crandall.

The baseball team reached the state finals before losing at Derks Field to American Fork 3-0 on three unearned runs. Pat Clark scattered six hits in the loss. That strong showing came after Clark turned in a remarkable performance in the semifinals, throwing 15 innings and giving up just five hits in a 4-1 semifinal victory over Uintah. John Hunter tripled in the spacious Magna ballpark to lead off the 15th inning. After walks to Bob Gamble and Mike Murray, John Seeronen successfully laid down a suicide squeeze, enabling Hunter to race home to break a 1-1 tie. Ray Thomas’s single drove in two insurance runs. Uintah sophomore pitcher Gary Tassainer also threw 15 innings. Coach Frank Klekas’s squad also featured Mike Kane, Ray Thomas, southpaw pitcher Terry Redmond, George Raine, Greg Kelsey, Stanley Myles, Jerry Jefferies, Mike Sandor, Dick Fassio, Warren Jefferies and Richard Griffin.
Together, the football, basketball and baseball teams had a combined record of 48-3.

The Utah High School Activities Association raised Judge to the Class A ranks, starting in the fall of 1963. The Bulldogs moved up along with Pleasant Grove, American Fork and Uintah (all of which were joined in region by Lehi). The Bulldogs entered a region with Bingham, Hillcrest, Jordan, Murray and Tooele. There was some concern the loss of numbers due to the girls’ move to St. Mary’s would hurt Judge’s chances of being moved up. But Coach Klekas said “I hope we get the support of the girls at our games.”
