During the Summer
Maintenance work was undertaken to make the school building more resistant to an earthquake and to fix the roof, which was leaking badly. In the fall, Janie Franks, Natalie Tangaro, Brooke DiAna, Anthony Nokes, Tim Connor and Jesse Flores were among the students “power cleaning” the cafeteria to the music of King Floyd (“Groove Me”), Louis Armstrong (“What a Wonderful World”), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (“You Wreck Me”) and The Grateful Dead (“She Belongs to Me”). The work didn’t go well. The Bulldog Press issue in October showed teachers Tom Bettin and Charlene Furano standing on the roof, pointing at water that didn’t go down drains but went through the roof into the library or flooded a stairwell. Bettin’s art department also sustained damage from leaking water.
Amber Ivie represented Judge at Girl’s State at Southern Utah University in Cedar City.

Fourteen seniors-to-be accompanied teacher Chris Long on a river trip in June on the Dolores River in southwestern Colorado, aided by guides from the Canyonlands Field Institute in Moab. Long later took 15 underclassmen on a wild ride through Westwater Canyon on a “flood-swollen” Colorado River. Long judged both trips successful: “All bodies were accounted for at the end of the trip.”

The dress code was modified to allow more sweater options – Dennis uniform v-neck sweaters or vests or crew-neck sweaters – but cut down on the variety of colors allowed (to only blue or white) with the oxford cloth button-down shirts. Pink and yellow were dropped. The Dean’s Office also eliminated the demerit system in favor of an “immediate detention system.” That meant detentions had to be served the afternoon of the infraction or the next day – or else the student would be suspended until the dean met with parents. Later in the year, the Dean’s Office warned parents that “Judge Memorial does not sponsor a post-graduation senior trip to Mexico. We do not approve of or allow classroom meeting space or school time for the planning of this ‘unsupervised and potentially dangerous trip.’”
School officials also were concerned about “past incidents of fighting and discriminatory and harassing language and behavior among students,” Principal Renee Genereux wrote in the October-November issue of Judge News. To combat that, the school held an all-day workshop on topics including self-respect, conflict resolution and sexual harassment.

Amador Guzman was one of six youth testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on “What Works: The Efforts of Private Individuals, Community Organizations and Religious Groups to Prevent Juvenile Crime.” Amador spoke about his involvement since age 5 at the Boys & Girls Club in his west-side neighborhood and how that experience helped him stay out of trouble despite being considered “at risk” – a Latino boy being raised by a single mother in an area of higher crime. With the aid of a scholarship from Judge, he played football, baseball, soccer and lacrosse while holding down jobs at various times with a restaurant, grocery store and a hotel.

An unidentified mom informed Hill she would pay for not just the history class, but for the entire junior class to see the film.
Senior Jaison Hesleph was one of 14 Utah students selected by the University of Utah to receive the Dr. Martin Luther King Youth Leadership award for contributions to social action, cultural growth and positive relations within the community.

For their “Christian Service” program, a group of Judge seniors took 15 kids from Salt Lake’s winter overflow homeless shelter for a day of sledding and pizza at Sugarhouse Park. “As the good-byes were being said,” Tony Giovacchini wrote in the Intermountain Catholic, “we realized what an experience we had been part of. Not only did we brighten the day of 15 children we otherwise would never have met, we gave ourselves a feeling of joy that would carry into the other aspects of our lives. We learned first-hand that a little giving of oneself can actually be the receiving of something more valuable.”

“By Wind and Water, an environmental impact” was the theme of the Spring Dance Concert, which included 10 boys, eight of whom had never danced before. Said Jon Oslowski to the Intermountain Catholic: “As a senior, I wanted to leave school having experienced everything.” The dance concert program highlighted a quote from novelist Edward Abbey: “The highest treason, the meanest treason, is to deny the holiness of this little blue planet on which we journey through the void of space.” For the April 1-4 show, work began in January at St. Olaf’s elementary school in Bountiful where 20 students in alumnus Gary Green’s fifth-grade class studied poetry and dance with five Judge poets (Peter Jones, Patrick Grisley, Amanda O’Karma, Chris Dean and Angela Downs) and seven dancers (Benjamin Wheat, Adrienne Lobato, Mary Northway, Erin McMahon, Jorja Jensen, Theresa George, Nicole Fritz and Nick Cendese).

Sports
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, CHAMPION – Sophomore Pete Stone shot a 1-under-par 70 to lift the boys golf team to a three-stroke win in the 4-A state tournament over Spanish Fork, which had won the two previous crowns. It was his best round of the season and left the team with a score of 304, one stroke better than its best showing all year. Justin James also overcame three-putts on three of the first four holes to post a 73, good for second best individually at the meet. As a team, Judge shot 304. James Dyer, Arthur Rio and Justin Fuller turned in respectable scores to boost Coach Jim Beisel’s team to the championship. In July, Stone had stunned the Utah golf community when he beat three-time champion Doug Bybee in the match-play portion of the Utah State Amateur Golf Tournament at Alpine Country Club. “Did you see him? He’s not afraid of anything,” Bybee told The Salt Lake Tribune. “He kicked my butt.” Stone’s caddy was his dad, Brad, the head pro at Davis Park Golf Course. Jonathan Oslowski and Justin Fuller were named to the Academic All-State Golf Team. Other members of the championship squad were Justin James, Tanner Blonquist, Glen Rillston, Nathan Owens, Paul Matlin, Steve Kladis, Rachael Drown, John Hejna, Jessica Clements, Patrick Emery, Jennifer Sutton and Brian Reagan. The team’s MVPs were Justin James and Pete Stone, while Justin Fuller was the most inspirational player.
Stephanie Coppa came in second in No. 2 singles while Jennifer Kelleher and Danielle Henry were the runners-up in No. 2 doubles to lead the girls tennis team to fourth place at the 4-A state tournament. The Bulldogs finished with 11 points, just behind West and Timpview, which tied for second with 12 points. East won with 22. Coppa advanced to the finals against East’s Allison Hansen before falling. Likewise, Kelleher and Henry were defeated by a duo from East. Most inspirational player Jane McBroom and Kim Tonin scored points for the Bulldogs in No. 1 doubles. They were all seniors for Coach Zeke Totland, along with co-captain and No. 1 singles player Patrycja Zaplata and Leslie Love. Senior Diana Arena was region champion in No. 3 singles. Zaplata was team MVP and received Academic All-State recognition. Melanie Hall, Meghan McDonald, Lyndsey Tucker, Christina Athas and Ellie McBroom rounded out the squad. Coach Totland was assisted by Jacqueline Stilling.
Thomas Batey and Patrick Keller were the top runners on the boys cross country team, which finished in 13th place at the 4-A meet with 327 points. Coach Dan Quinn’s team featured team MVP Tim Jackson, most inspirational runner Jean-Paul Briggs and Shane Wilkinson, Jimmy Neeway, Zachary Winterfeld and Chris Holdener.
Coach Dan Quinn’s girls cross country team was led by Dagny Dingman, who finished eighth at the Class 4-A meet, completing the course in 19:02. Her performance lifted Judge to sixth place with 192 points and earned her team MVP honors. Dingman was joined on the squad by her sister Andra Dingman, the team’s most inspirational runner, along with Summer Bell, Katherine Hensleigh, Heidi Keller, Patricia Holt, Carly Bobbe and Christina Paal. Quinn’s assistant coaches were John Licciardo and Tom Niederee.
Co-captain Elisha Vaculin led the volleyball team in kills and digs, fellow captain Sarah Crowther set up the most assists while Hollie Janovak had the most aces and blocks for Coach Carol Rawson. Still, the Bulldogs had a rough year and did not qualify for the 4-A state tournament. Janovak made the All-Region team and was voted team MVP. Vaculin and Crowther shared most inspirational honors. Rounding out the squad were Ashley Wright, Jennifer Argoitia, Linsey Hunt, Tammy Pelton, Rebecca Farr, Liz Maronick, Katie Prestwich, Lindsey Wright and Kelly Sayre. Coach Carol Rawson was assisted by Jerad Jepson, Angie Telford and Jim Markosian.
Nicholas Hart was a captain and MVP of the 1-8 football team, whose highlight was a 3-0 victory over Murray on a field goal by Jeffrey Ehleringer. That win was particularly satisfying for Hart because Murray students had been blamed for breaking a window at Judge, and for painting MHS on the Judge football field and an M on the sidewalk in front of the school. First-year Coach Tim Clark’s 45-member squad was physically small, sporting 160-pound linebackers, and relied heavily on most inspirational player Andrew Rakowski, along with Ricky Simmons and Brennan Clark.

In the February 1998 edition of the Bulldog Press, Lund wrote a front-page article talking about his introduction to the bobsled/luge track at Utah Olympic Park and his Olympic ambitions.
