Judge sports lost a longtime supporter with the death in August of Virgil “Sully” Sullivan. A Hill Air Force Base retiree, Sullivan became active at Judge after a summer of coaching a financially struggling Judge American Legion baseball team. He got to know other boosters, sent four kids to Judge, attended games in many sports for years, handled the chains at football games with Richard Ruberts, and ended up as equipment manager for the football and basketball teams. After his death, the 1979 football team and many fans wore green wrist bands to commemorate Sully, a practice initiated by quarterback Doug Vierra, who knew Sully well. “He always said the right thing at the right time to help both the players and me,” Football Coach Frank L’Etoile told Judgeonian reporter Anne Watson.
Senior David Davies spent part of his summer in Malaysia, living with the owner of a rubber factory, as part of the American Field Service foreign exchange program.

Four buses carried nearly 800 students and teachers up Parleys Canyon to Washington Park on Sept. 20 for Judge’s annual field day. Vicki Banchero reported in the Judgeonian that it was “cloudy, chilly, overcast after a long rain the previous day and a healthy layer of snow on the benches.”
Fr. Whalen and disciplinarian Tim Carr threatened to shut off the juke box, take out the pop machines and even to cancel the Halloween stomp if students didn’t stop being such pigs in the cafeteria where, Erin Kelley wrote in the Judgeonian, “you can see a nice appetizing JMH lunch turned into smashed bananas on the floor, milk poured on the tables, taco sauce sloshed all over the plate and trays, and an amazing conglomerate of cartons and unidentified objects on the tables.”
Several mini-courses were offered midway through the first semester, including two by Fr. James Bradley – the mystery of Alfred Hitchcock stories, and poetry of the English-speaking world.

Sr. Josephine Burns, who taught English, religion and chorus, missed fall semester due to an illness that required surgery.
The school year’s first coffeehouse attracted several alums to return to Judge to play, including Denise Reynolds, Steve Maloney and Mary Ross. A Judgeonian review said senior David Davies proved he was an “excellent singer and guitarist,” while Betsy McHugh and Kathy Wurster drew applause as a duet and then as part of a quartet with Angela Atwood and Mary Roney. Joe Roach and Joel Rotta did a comedy routine to Mexican music, Caprice Davis and Mary Ross sang three songs, Don Sheeran also displayed his voice and Hillary Thiergartner impressed the crowd with her flute playing.
Teacher Patti Bettin’s Advanced Health class organized a blood drive to help the American Red Cross. Junior Anne Watson described the event in an article for The Salt Lake Tribune. Accompanying photos by alumnus Tim Kelly, Class of 1963, showed Judge students Karen Wood, Jana Heiner and Nick Mastrodicasa. Watson noted that student body president Dean Burchett “donated as usual this year and was the only student to faint. Dean also fainted last year when he donated blood.”

Kenehan, Sr. Frances Theresa, Sr. Miriam Ann, congressional candidate Peter Cooke, University of Utah professor Martin Chemers and Judge students Mary Jo Ahlin, Peggy McDonough, Mark Aberton, Boyd Petterson and Jill White.
The Judgeonian described shorthand and typing teacher Kimberly Coombs as “Sister Jose Marie’s answer to prayer” after Coombs took over the Judge business department when the nun fell ill. “Although she looks like a student herself,” the paper said, “her students recognize her competency. She types 104 words a minute [and] rarely, if ever, does she raise her voice.”

The April 3 Judgeonian had a feature on Marjorie Pearce, who had spent 18 years at Judge. “She was given the nickname ‘Ma’ by the Oblate Fathers, a name she has accepted over the years,” wrote staff writer Sandra Geary, noting that Marjorie Pierce taught physical education at first before branching into history and geography. She also put three children through Judge and drove a VW “in perfect running condition” because it only went five miles a week between her home, Lourdes Church and the store. “Judge is part of my life,” Marjorie Pierce said. “I’ve been involved in the school first with my children and later as a teacher. I can’t imagine life without Judge.”

Sports
In his third year as head coach, Frank L’Etoile led the football team to a 10-1 record and a trip to the Class 3A semifinals, where the Bulldogs lost 24-7 to Ben Lomond on a cold, snowy turf at the University of Utah. Judge advanced to the finals with a 35-13 thrashing of Payson, a school the Bulldogs faced in the state finals three years in a row (1970-72). In region, Judge averaged 40.7 points per game and shut out four opponents. A couple of highlights: In mid-September, third-year Coach Frank L’Etoile’s Bulldogs beat powerful Murray 20-13 in overtime. Quarterback Doug Vierra hit Ray Zaelit with a touchdown pass on Judge’s OT possession, and then the defense turned back Spartan quarterback Steve Davies on consecutive sneak efforts from inside the 1-yard line. Judge had tied the game with 42 seconds left in regulation when a scrambling Vierra escaped two Murray tacklers on fourth and goal from the nine and lofted a pass to Tracy Conti, who “got a hand on the ball and pulled in the pigskin as he tumbled out of the end zone.” The Bulldogs then spotted Tooele 17 points before bouncing back for a 31-17 win, with Gary Mason and A.B. Walls teaming for 200 yards rushing. John Condas, Vierra and Ed Allam made The Salt Lake Tribune’s 3A All-Star team. Named to the second team were Gary Mason and Lance Johannessen. The Green Sheet newspaper’s Honor Squad included John Condas, Mason, Johannessen and Vierra. L’Etoile was the weekly’s “Coach of the Year.” Other key players were Bob Singler, Pete Wilson, Dave McGill, George Sproul, Mike Reynolds, Mike Patrick, Chris Klekas, Robert Thomas, Dave Corisis, Joe Rotzler, Bill Gray, Matt Larrabee, Mark Murphy, Dan Trueba, John Kelly, Bill Condas, Tony Barnes, Brian VonBank, Larry Colosimo, Gig McGuire, Aaron Marquez and Tony Barnes.
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, CHAMPIONS – The girls tennis team tied Timpview for the 3A state championship on Oct. 14 at Brigham Young University. Coach Tom Bettin’s Bulldogs were led by their doubles teams, both of which won titles – the No. 1 team of seniors Cathy Meyer and Jackie Moore and the No. 2 doubles team of senior Anne Watson and junior Joanne Williams. No. 2 singles player Barbara Schovaers also contributed valuable points, finishing second. Also advancing to state were region champions Roxanne Gray at No. 1 singles, who lost to a nationally ranked player, and Dianne Quinn, No. 3 singles, who finished third.
Chris Griggs was captain of the cross country team, coached by Steve Cotterell. Sophomore Dave Barney was the fastest runner, junior Ben Frank was next, followed by senior Earl Kane, sophomores Andy Deiss, Jay Campbell and Matt Lingenfelter and freshman Dave Miller.
Top runners on the girls cross country team were seniors Betsy McHugh and Marianna Piercey.
Basketball coach Jim Yerkovich unveiled the “WE Shirts,” which have the Judge logo with WE imprinted on it in big red letters, celebrating the principles of community and unselfishness, which had long been fundamental to the Judge basketball ethos. With these shirts, people outside of Judge saw what the team stood for. “I designed the ‘WE’ shirts simply to give our players something to wear that emphasized what we live and believe. Love and togetherness on a team is a valuable life experience. To me, it is more important than winning games,” he told The Tribune.
Yerkovich’s team advanced to the semifinals of the 3A tournament before losing to eventual champion American Fork, 60-55. The Bulldogs finished sixth at state following a 72-54 loss to Woods Cross. Boasting balanced scoring, with five players averaging double figures, the Bulldogs started the tourney with a 50-47 win over Box Elder and stunned Jordan 63-45 in the quarterfinals. Judge was led by seniors Andy Mates, Brian Bentrude, point guard Steve Bills (who was injured during the season), Jim Lytle, Randy Zickert, Tony Kitterer, Doug Vierra and Mike Miller. Big man Terry Murnin and guard Joel Rotta were the top juniors. Yerkovich became the president-elect of the Utah High School Basketball Coaches Association.

The hockey team had a 16-12 record with the league’s top two scorers, senior Bill McKenna (71 points) and sophomore Lance Beeney (64).

They were joined by sophomores Stephanie Atwood, Patti Kuronya and Mary Jo Quinn and freshmen Julie Paulson and Tammy VonBank.
STATE CHAMPION – Freshman Denise Gaztambide shattered the state record in the high jump, clearing 5-feet, 10 inches on her second try at the 3A state meet at Weber State. That broke the existing record of 5-foot, 5 ¼ inches and bested her nearest competitor by 3 inches. “Gaztambide seemed to sprout a pair of invisible wings that lifted her,” wrote a Tribune reporter. She surpassed her previous best with a 5-foot-9 jump her first try, inspired she said by Coach Patti Bettin’s offer of pizza if she succeeded. “I’m shooting for 6 feet,” Gaztambide said. “When I get that, my coach has to buy me a steak dinner.”
Leading the boys track team were distance runners David Barney, David Rice and Ben Frank, sprinter and shot putter Brian Bentrude, sprinters Charles Jones and A.B. Walls, discus hurler Robert Singler and middle-distance runner Brett Taylor. Other team members were Gerald Allred, Andy Cier, Dave Corisis, Chris Griggs, Shawn Hokanson, Earl Kane, John Konya, Chris Klekas, Matt Lingenfelter, Tom Lowe, Aaron Marquez, Steve Marushack, Gary Mason, Tom Quinn and Wilfred Simpson.
