Dean of Discipline Tim Carr started enforcing detention rules “because of the increasing amount of students who carelessly broke the rules last year.” The Dec. 18 Judgeonian said “last year there were up to 10,000 late slips used a quarter. This year there hasn’t been up to 1,000 used in two quarters.”
The Judgeonian reported that Judge had about $8,770 in the bank, with income of $998,285 barely outstripping expenses of $979,515. “Our budget does not account for unexpected problems like “the baptizing of the school,” Mr. [music teacher] David Asman’s interpretation of the flooding of the basement, Xerox machines breaking down or broken windows.”
A student poll just before the freshman welcome stomp found the most popular songs were “Endless Love” by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross; “The Stroke” by Billy Squire and the theme from “Arthur.”

The Judgeonian finished first overall in Class 3A and took the top spot in editorials. Its lead editors were John Byrne, Leland Cowan, Lisa Carricaburu and Yolanda Valdez. The writers were Chris Emmerich, Sam Simos, Caraleen Buhler, Mona Lisa Chavez, Kim Beattie, Mike Roney, Kathy Reeves, Jocelyn Azarcon, Jill Aggeler, Andy Westley, Steve Condas, Julie Ludwig, Joe Quinn and Jennifer Clark. The photographers were Chip Kaffer and Wesley and Steve Hunter. John Calfo and Eric Weber provided cartoons and graphics. John Cowan, Eric Weber and Randy Shea sold ads. Considering a name change from Judgeonian, eventually settling on Bulldog Press, the journalism class advanced three possibilities to the student body for a vote. The winner, by a landslide, was “Notes in Red and Gold,” followed by “What’s With We?” and “The We Sheet.” A number of write-in votes suggested other options, such as “The Bull Sheet,” and a handful voted to keep the Judgeonian name. There were also “50 people who wrote obscene and utterly useless suggestions,” the paper noted. Carricaburu took second place in newswriting at a competition held by the University of Utah, while Shawn Carty was third in sports writing. “Superior” awards were given to Lisa Sundquist, Pete Hebda, Kelly Norsingle and Caroleen Buhler. The paper looked beyond the school to issues of the day, with Mona Lisa Chavez investigating attempts to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, Leland Cowan looking at homeless issues and an unbylined story about child abuse. The Salt Lake Tribune usually named only one journalist from each high school paper as its most valuable staffer, but gave that honor to three Judge students – Lisa Carricaburu, Leland Cowan and Steve Condas.
Angela Welch penned a guest editorial in the March, 1982 Bulldog Press praising Roy Okamoto, now 81, and still shoveling snow from the school’s sidewalks. “This dedicated man has worked and lived at Judge for thirty-seven years. His work day often extends ten or more hours, often beginning at three in the morning.” Okamoto owned a successful market in Los Angles until World War II when he lost everything upon being sent to a relocation camp in Wyoming. After the war, he picked potatoes on a farm before migrating to Salt Lake and Judge, working with his wife to keep the place clean and run the cafeteria. In the old Judge school, they lived in two rooms in the basement. “The Okamotos were extremely good cooks, and to this day, old students who had attended Judge still rave about Mr. Okamoto’s cupcakes.”
Sen. Orrin Hatch picked nine Judge students to serve on his Youth Advisory Committee. They were Michael Curtin, John Murphy, Kathy Reeves, Sam Simos, Laura Barber, Susan Isbell, Leonard Murphy, Ross Brunetti and J.J. McNamara.

Other awards: funniest couple – John Catrow and Sarah McElvain; most dedicated couple – Kim Prince and Sam Simos; best dance togs – Corinne Buchsweiller; biggest appetite – Mike Rose; and most enthusiastic couple – Tina Vierra and John Gray.

Sports
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP – Judge opened its state championship football season with a 17-7 victory over 4-A foe Roy, keyed by Shawn Rodman’s 96-yard kickoff return TD in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs went on to beat Bingham 48-6, lost to East 10-8, then ran the table with victories over Murray 24-0, Tooele 48-0, West 13-7, Jordan 28-21 (after trailing 14-0) and South 25-20. Coach Frank L’Etoile’s Bulldogs opened the playoffs with a 20-0 victory over Mountain View, with Dave McGill running out of a shoe during a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown, then whipped Springville 28-10 and West 28-10 before trouncing Jordan 52-13 in the 3-A title game. Against the highly favored Beetdiggers, quarterback Mike Curtin threw four touchdown passes and the defense forced six Jordan turnovers. Curtin’s first TD pass, from 23 yards out to McGill just inside the back line of the end zone, broke a 7-7 tie and changed the course of the game. A Mike Clark interception led to three more points. Greg Diedrich recovered his second fumble of the game, leading to a Curtin-to-Shawn Rodman touchdown pass. Curtin then threw TD passes to McGill and Mark Aberton, sandwiched around a Russ Griffith touchdown run. Backup Ken Kreautler’s 52-yard run to paydirt wrapped up the rout. Coach Frank L’Etoile jokingly attributed the defensive prowess to purple socks his players wore, a throwback to a championship team he had played on years earlier.
Curtin, praised by Salt Lake Tribune reporter Tom Wharton for his unselfishness, shrugged off post-game laurels and applauded his linemen – Pete Rokich, Dan Garcia, Mike Falvo, Dan Quinn and Steve Condas. Curtin was The Tribune’s MVP and made first team All State for both daily papers, as did Larry Colosimo, Dave McGill, Mike Clark and Dan Quinn. Pete Rokich and Mike Falvo were first team in The Tribune and second team in the Deseret News, while Griffith was second team in the Deseret News. All Region honors went to Bob Condas, Shawn Rodman, Mark Aberton and J.C. Murphy. The Green Sheet “Honor Squad” included Curtin, Colosimo, McGill, Clark, Quinn and Griffith. Curtin was the most inspirational player. L’Etoile’s assistant coaches were Dick Ruberts, John Colosimo, Tim Carr, Stan Finn, Jim Markosian, Mike Bailey, Gailey Colosimo and Tony Crandall.
The volleyball team finished 10-4, led by senior captain Tammy VonBank, classmates Denise Gaztambide, Gina Glodowski, Lisa Holdener, Mary Catherine Lytle and Carol Sawaya, juniors Kathy Reeves, Monica Politano and Maureen Kirkeby, and sophomores Jan Galloway and Barb Eckroth.

The boys basketball team won the last three games of region play to finish 6-4, but lost in the first game of the 3A state tournament to Logan, 57-54. The Bulldogs then beat Dixie 85-64 and Bear River 64-57 before dropping a 54-53 heartbreaker to Payson to finish eighth in Judge’s 14th straight tournament appearance. Leading the team were seniors Mike Curtin, Mike Clark, Dave McGill, Justus Romero and Dan Quinn. Curtin and Greg Diedrich were named to the weekly Green Sheet newspaper’s “Honor Squad.” Clark was the team’s most inspirational player. Rounding out the squad were Larry Colosimo, Don Dunbar, Chris Green, Scott Oppocher, Pete Rokich, Richard Holmes and Joe Brennan. Assisting Coach Jim Yerkovich were Sonny Tangaro and Steve Cotterell.
Seven seniors led the girls basketball team to a region title (only one loss, in overtime to Murray), a 14-4 record overall and a fourth place finish in the 3-A state tournament. The girls beat Ben Lomond 38-26 and Orem 40-33 in the tourney before losing to West 46-32 and Provo 42-38.

Reeves, Kelly Pollard, Becky Brummer, Diane Henkels, Martha Mitchell and Kendra Peters.

The diving team was composed of Atzet, Rodney Campbell, Sydney Green, Jeanette Friedheim and Theresa Friedheim.
Overseen by teacher Jim Markosian, the Judge ski program entered its second season, offering participants five days of skiing and transportation to and from school for $50. “When asked to comment on the ski program, the majority of Judge students replied that the long-awaited ski program is the best thing to hit Judge,” the Bulldog Press reported. Problems developed with the buses arriving on time and T-shirt sales that fell below expectations, causing financial problems. By season’s end, the paper added in its next edition, “because of overall irresponsibility a ski club may not exist next year.”
Denise Gaztambide was an honorable mention member of the National High School Track All-America team for 1982. Said Coach Steve Cotterell: “She is the best athlete, male or female, to ever attend Judge Memorial.” Gaztambide and Curtin shared the Sheeran Student Athlete Bulldog Award as the school’s top scholar athletes. In a profile, Tribune writer Tom Wharton said Gaztambide could have been critical of Judge’s athletic facilities, with no girl’s gym and no track, “which makes things difficult when you may be the best woman high school track athlete in Utah.” He quoted her saying “I’ve never had a home track meet. It bothers me that I can’t work out any time I want. That does hurt my performance. But you can talk to anyone here. There is a feeling of pride. . . I love to say I’m from Judge. People here demand a lot. And academics are important.” Wharton noted she had a 3.79 GPA while taking five honors courses. Academics helped influence her decision to attend Stanford. She only practiced the high jump once in her senior season, but produced a 5-foot 11-inch jump, just an inch off the national record. Seniors on the track team were Patti Auer, Betsy Danforth, Gina Glodowski, Maureen Harte and Mary Catherine Lytle. Hopes for the future were carried by freshmen Kendra Peters and Sheila Corey, who was the team’s most inspirational player. Other team members were Lisa Holdener, Dana Sundquist, Cheri Ruebel, Margaret Baldwin, Nicole Danforth, Anne Ehresman, Ann Kane, Ginny Adelhardt, Jeanette Friedheim, Julie Quinn, Tina Vierra, Christine Laughlin, Anne Whitehead, Noel Yerkovich, Cindy Aperges, Jamie Adamson, Gia Kay Caldwell, Peta Owens, Holly Hintze, Kendra Green, Gen Green and Monica Montgomery.

Chong was the team’s most inspirational player.
Coached by Chuck McKenna, the girls tennis team took third at the 3A state meet behind Ogden and Provo. Margaret Traub finished second in No. 1 singles, while singles player Diane Henkels and the doubles team of Lisa Albo and Amy Wolfe placed fourth. Joan Erbin, Marjorie Singler and Tammy Wallace reached the top eight. Other players included Audrey Klarich, Lisa Myers, Nicole Zuchetto and Donna Henkels. Erbin was the team’s most inspirational player.
The boys soccer team included two freshman girls – Meg O’Brien and Evelyn Preston. Coach John Kane’s team also featured captain Clark Strong, John Murphy, Peter Leary, Bob Condas, Michael Pelley, Al Cairo, Mark Aberton, John Catrow, Bobby Moore, Lenny Murphy, Joe Stanchfield, Marty Jemison, Jim Thomas, Phil Malenger, Pete Williams, Paul Lower, Mike Pelley and Cord Bauer. Leary was the most inspirational player for coaches Kane and John Piercey.
An indoor soccer team was led by captain Clark Strong and featured Peter Leary, Bobby Moore, J.C. Murphy, Brian Nabors, Phil Marenger, Pete Williams, Kevin Foley and Cord Bauer. The coaches were Joe Stanchfield and John Kane, Class of 1980.
