During the Summer
John McGean departed as principal after 23 years as a teacher and administrator. He first arrived in the fall of 1968, just four years after graduating from Judge as senior class president. “I have finally graduated (after twenty-three graduation ceremonies) and will be shortly heading off with my well-earned diploma,” he wrote in his final Judge News newsletter in June. “I am eager at the prospects of my new career, but will certainly miss for a long, long time my large, gifted and caring Judge family.”

Salt Lake City attorney Edward McDonough, in his Sunday column in The Salt Lake Tribune, cited Judge’s sex-education program, called “Respect for Life,” as an appropriate example of how religious-based values can be incorporated into the program. But that’s because Judge is a private school, McDonough noted, adding public schools are not allowed under the constitution to include religion-based values. He criticized the Utah State Board of Education for hiring a Mormon religious-education teacher to add “values” to the sex-education curriculum created by a Board of Education committee.

It’s good for many, not just a few, to be able to help instead of just standing around in an emergency.” A photograph with the story showed teachers Kip Sayre, Deborah Recksiek, Charlene Furano and Chris Francone administering CPR to each other.

Sports
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, STATE CHAMPIONS – Peter Matus reigned supreme in boys tennis, where the Bulldogs shared the 3-A title with West, each team scoring 24 points. The Judge senior went through his high school career without a loss, capping it with his third straight state championship at No. 1 singles, beating West’s Ricky Skaar 6-2, 6-2. “He’s an incredible player,” said Coach Bob Juhasz. While Matus was a standout, he was not alone in leading Judge to a second straight state 3-A championship. The Bulldogs were represented in all five finals matches, and its prospects of winning came down to the final competition. That’s when the No. 2 doubles team of Gary Green and Justin Henderson came through, defeating a team from Logan 6-1, 6-2, to lift the team into the tie with West. The Bulldogs were loaded, with Josh Brown reaching the finals at No. 2 singles and John Migliaccio at No. 3 singles. Both lost to West players, as did the No. 1 doubles team of Chris Barra and Casey Foley. Other team members were Peter Duberow, Andrew Cheng, Jeremy Agraz and Steve Love.
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, CHAMPION – For the second year in a row, the boys cross country team captured the 3-A state title, beating the Bulldogs’ closest challenger by a remarkable 46 points.

Evidence? At the state meet, Jeremy Ortega finished fifth (16:04.5), Gary Green was ninth (16:17.1), Mike Givens 15th, Scott Ambre 17th, Mike Klass 34th and Brandon Allen 45th. “This is the best team ever,” Houle told The Bulldog Press after his charges scored just 44 points in the race, blowing away runner-up Cedar City (90). “They weren’t supposed to do it – we lost three of the top five runners from last year. [But this team] wants to win and knows how to win. … I’m in it to win. Why try for anything less?” Rounding out the championship squad for Houle were Mark Paoletti, Lenny Brewer, Todd Mathes, Peter Agrapides, Zack Kovkos, Craig Britter, Mike Givens, Eric Reynolds, Bryan Duberow, Chris Newlin, Aleko Campos, Jeremiah Calame, Matt Sause and Tim Roelofs.
