During the Summer

A flyer promoting Judge noted that during the previous five years, Judge students were in the 93rd percentile nationally on the ACT test – exceeding the state average by 25% in math, 7% in English, 17% in social studies and 13% in natural science. Of the 53 seniors who took AP exams during the 1985-86 school year, 90.6% passed; nationally, the average was 68.4%. Enrollment was around 900 for the four grades, with non-Catholics comprising 23% of the student body, minorities 15%. Of the 61 faculty members, 38% had master’s degrees or higher, 13% were priests, nuns or brothers, and 16 were alumni.

In the first year of the Ulster Project, which promotes peace in Northern Ireland, Rachel deBrier, Chris Hale and Mark Pett were among six Judge students who played host to 15-year-old Catholics from Omagh, a city where 29 people would be killed in a bombing on Aug. 15, 1998. The program, which annually brought over 12 students – six Catholic and six Protestant, six boys and six girls – has enlisted Judge families for decades, helping to show the visitors that Catholics and Protestants can live and work together peacefully. As Rachel deBrier predicted after the first-year experience, “None of those [Northern Irish] teen-agers will ever join a militant group.”

Sr. Renee Genereux, dean of students, and three other women went to Nevada to protest against underground nuclear testing going on there. Her companions included Frances Farley, a Utah State Senator and unsuccessful Congressional candidate. Students Sean Whittler and Erik Oberlin earlier attended a four-day seminar at the test site. “The future is scary,” the Bulldog Press quoted them as saying. “We would like to work toward peace and a unified world.”

The Year

National Merit Finalists: Tawni Anderson, David Geary, Paula Munoz, Miriam Sweeney, Catherine Olsen

National Merit Special Scholarships: Lesley Anne deBrier, Michael Friar

Administration: Fr. Thomas McNamara, president; John McGean, academic principal; Jim Yerkovich, academic vice principal; Sr. Renee Genereux and Fr. Dennis Kelsch, assistant principals/dean of students; Michael Kimball, athletic director; Jerry Burchett and Ann Chambers, activities directors. The switch to two deans was necessary, according to Tim Carr, who had been dean for the last nine years. “The job takes two people,” he told Bulldog Press reporter Shaun Cassady. “Dealing with negative situations every day can drive you crazy. It becomes hard to handle.” Some students criticized the move as a disciplinary crackdown while others felt it made the discipline system more personal.

Serving on the Student Council were Jeff Wright, Ben Knowell, Jerry Seiner, Jenny Frazer, Patrick Leary, Jennifer Gamble, Steve Sida, Michelle Powers, Matthew Williams, Chalaine Zuchetto, Rhett Curry, Paula Williams, Tom Adams, Mary Moskal, Danny Yu, Kathy Stumpf and Joey Chiazzese.

Chris Sloan was the moderator.

In the Oct. 31 edition of the Bulldog Press, Maria Lavadie lamented the parking problems that plagued Judge students. Because the parking lot is too small, students have to park blocks away, often finding that they either have gotten ticketed for parking someplace they weren’t supposed to, or that they have been hit by a passing motorist. When it is usable, she added, the parking lot often has ice on it during the winter. “When the groundbreaking of the gym and auditorium begin, it will eliminate over half the present parking spaces,” Lavadie complained. “What will we do then?”

Andy Steger recorded the highest score among Judge students taking the American High School Math Exam. He and 29 other students qualified for state competition.

The Hi-Kickers Drill Team won the region title, led by captains Alicia Brunetti and Keri Assmus. Advisor Jeanette Sawaya’s girls took first in jazz and prop and second in military to compile enough points to outscore drill teams from Murray, Jordan, Tooele, South and West highs. The team featured Amy Beavers, Katie Robinson, Rosie Banchero, Amy Swartz, Angie Dowsett, Lori McGinnis, Lisa Pariseau, Mary Herodes, Caroline Thomas, Tricia Vierra, Kelly Starks and Dawn Webber.

The school was shaken by the death of CeCe Trentman. “I don’t know one person who didn’t like her because she was so friendly and outgoing with everyone,” her friend Allyson Ravarino wrote in the Bulldog Press. “Her radiance made you want to get to know her . . . Her goal in life was to be the best darn softball player she could be, and she was the best player, in any sport, I knew.”

Ground was broken Nov. 15 for a new auditorium. Bishops William Weigand and Joseph Lennox Federal turned dirt for the project along with school President Fr. Thomas McNamara, Principal John McGean, Sr. Joan Allem, Salt Lake City Mayor and former Judge/St. Mary’s teacher Palmer DePaulis, representatives of the Judgeonian Society and Sen. Orrin Hatch. The Student Council presented a $2,000 check to help pay for the building. Development director Sonny Tangaro hoisted champagne bottles aloft in celebration. The Jazz Band – Leslie Garrison, Jerry Seiner, Scott Larrabee, Tom Adams, Eddie Cameron and Robert Benda – closed the event with “Take Care” and the school song.

The ceremony paid homage to Bernice Pittman, a member of the first Judge graduating class in 1925. She told the Bulldog Press that “parents just paid what they could afford” to send their kids to Judge. “We had to fight for recognition as a Catholic school,” Pittman added, contending students were well disciplined, studied hard and behaved themselves at outside activities “so it would be known they were Catholics.”

The Peer Counselors were Karla Jahne, Vicky Stewart, Katie Peters, Chris Akiyama, Matthew Williams, Chris Pace, Tina Flattery, Katherine Whitehead, Jayde Holder, Heather Williams, Michelle Melendez, Michelle Powers, Angie Head, Alexis Raso and Katie Robinson.

As sophomore class president, Kathy Stumpf oversaw preparations for the Winter’s Dance, whose theme was “Winter’s By Night.” Held in the University of Utah ballroom, it featured a New York City skyline as a backdrop to the dance floor.

Overseeing Christian Service activities were Camille Sadler, Michelle Viduarre, Aaron Bai, Mike Buckley, Mike Malouf, Paul Larrabee, Maria Lavadie, Paige Young, Christie Luttmer, Andrea Phillips, Rene Trentman, Dawn Webber, Trish Uzelac, Maureen Diedrich, Lisa Tedesco, Jean Grose and Katy Liston.

Sophomores received more deficiency notices per capita, but freshmen piled up more than any other class, the Bulldog Press reported in December. Writer Andrea Letter revealed that 130 sophomores piled up 257 deficiency letters, while 123 freshmen compiled 280. In the junior class, 122 students got 207 deficiencies. Seniors were far more studious. Only 90 received deficiency letters, and their total was 150.

Judge subscribed to “The Talking Yellow Pages,” a U.S. West Direct promotion in which local organizations sponsored ad time that could be used by public-service groups.

For Christmas, each Judge class adopted a needy family with an adult suffering from multiple sclerosis. Students collected food and gifts for each family. Thirteen children were beneficiaries of the largesse, which was coordinated by teachers Ann Chambers and Galey Colosimo.

Members of the a cappella choir were Jane Gregory, Genevieve Jones, Monica Garcia, David Geary, Mike McDonough, Don Rael, Tom Adams, Jason Clark, Triet Vo, Evelyn Davies, Lynn Gooch, Steve Campbell, Miriam Sweeney, Lisa Wimmer and Trish Jewkes. Susan Northway was the moderator.

Susan Northway also directed the Jazz Ensemble, which included Eddie Cameron, Jerry Seiner, Tom Adams, Scott Hoge, Chris Eggert, Robert Benda, Lesley Garrison, Mike McDonough and Matt Keane.

Social Justice workshops were held in the morning for juniors and seniors, afternoon for freshmen and sophomores. Topics addressed included racism, political activism, the roles of men and women, poverty in Utah, homelessness in the state and the problems faced by immigrants.

Senior Colleen McHugh won the Rotary Service Club’s $750 scholarship. Michael Cervino and Lisa Fisher were runners-up.

For the Feb. 13 edition of the Bulldog Press, Dawn Kennally interviewed students at a half dozen public schools about what they thought of Judge. She didn’t like their answers. “One girl from Brighton, who I know, and at one time liked, said that we [Judge students] are rich, stuck up snobs. Needless to say, our friendship ended right there.” She heard the same thing at Cottonwood, however, along with criticisms of the dress code and the academic rigor.

In that same issue, Colleen Jones wrote a long profile about George Del Hoyo, a Class of 1972 graduate who had become a celebrity among high school fans of the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” where he played the villainous character Orpheus under the stage name George Deloy. “The news that there had been an established actor who had attended Judge Memorial traveled very fast. It seemed that there was always an interested group of students huddled around old Judge yearbooks, searching for more pictures of George Deloy. In fact, so many curious and excited students started pouring into the library asking to see the yearbooks and discussing how amazing the whole thing was that Mrs. Duffy [the librarian] began to refer to them as The George Deloy Groupies.”

English teacher and yearbook advisor Phil Starr was named the National Fellow for Independent Study in the Humanities, one of 150 nationwide; 1,200 had applied for the fellowship.

Dean of Students Renee Genereux relaxed a ban on chewing gum during the second semester, with mixed results and reactions. Steve Sida opined that chewing gum “gives you more freedom” and Christine Hensleigh denied that students stick old gum underneath desk tops. But librarian Mary Duffy disputed that, saying “it’s been proven over the years that kids stick gum under the tables and it takes hundreds of dollars over the summer to remove it.” Besides, she told Bulldog Press writer Laura Lochhead, “a wad of gum in the mouth is slowly masticated much like a cow chewing cud.”

Under the direction of teacher Tom Bettin, fine pieces of art were produced by Natalie Ascencios, Scott Hoge, Stacey Dobkins, Kelly Gately, Mark Pett and Wayne Rummele.

The Judge gym was off limits for parts of five winter days for the shooting of the movie “Promised Land,” starring Meg Ryan, Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Gedrick and Tracy Pollan. Judge students were invited to be extras during the filming, although several interviewed by the Bulldog Press thought it was pretty boring overall. Teacher Mike Kimball arranged the filming with the Sundance Institute and was the school’s liaison to the production crew. He appeared in the film as a security guard.

Student groups included Writing Center Tutors, foreign language clubs in Russian, Japanese and French, the Chess Club, Astronomy Club, Junior Achievement, Junior Classical League, Math Tutors and the Pep Club.
