As part of the National Teacher Association centennial, the journalism class and Sr. Elizabeth Marie organized an assembly to honor the Judge faculty. Lyn Cosgriff was emcee, setting the stage for Mary Kaye Carlquist to describe the importance of teachers on students’ everyday lives. Offering examples were Patricia Milano, Kathleen Durning, Katherine Story, Ann Gannuscia, Joe Winterer, Sue Held, Marion Raleigh, Carolee Powell, Dorothy Kreidler, Linda Tavey, Mary Arentz, Bonnie Soult, Shannon King and Jack Gallivan.

On Feb. 7, 1958, the Home and School Association published a statement atop page one of the Intermountain Catholic Register, saying that to comply with Salt Lake City ordinances, it was changing its approach to fundraising. No carnival “of any sort” will be held and “no dunning.” Funds could be requested only from Home and School Association members. “To those who have inquired as to what the financial goal is and as to the amount each family should give, we state: We do not wish to answer either of these questions. … However, we point out that in previous years carnival tickets were $5 – in addition there were 5-cent chances, two night of games parties, and other games of chance.”

The Judgeonian’s co-editors were Lyn Cosgriff and Douglas Hunsaker. Associate editors were Ann Gannuscia, Carolee Powell, Mary Arentz, Jack Gallivan and Shannon King. Joe Winterer was over the photographers. Reporters were Mary Kaye Carlquist, Kathleen Durning, Patricia Friedley, Bob Jarvis, Sue Held, Dorothy Kreidler, Patricia Milano, Marion Raleigh, Linda Tavey and Katherine Story.

In the Oct. 28 edition, Mary Arentz and Lyn Cosgriff wrote a column from the perspective of the first Judge building, which was started in 1902, opened in 1910, closed in 1915, reopened in 1918 as a hospital to treat a deadly flu epidemic and was converted into a school in 1921. As 1958 approached, its days were numbered. Plans were well along for a replacement building, one that would complement the gym opened in 1954. “At last I have a gym that every one is proud of. Because I am getting old, I am getting sentimental, for I feel that I have been a third parent to the youth prepared in my classrooms.”

The Judgeonian’s Feb. 14 edition included an article about Arthur Connole, a member of the first graduating class at Judge, called Cathedral High back then in 1925. “A Catholic education is worth more than any sacrifices made to obtain it,” he was quoted as saying. After graduating from Judge, Connole went to the University of Utah for a year before transferring to Regis College in Denver, where he studied economics and accounting.

“Hamlet” and “Macbeth.” Seniors presented selected scenes from “Hamlet” while juniors re-enacted several key scenes in “Macbeth.” Reviewer Lyn Cosgriff: “This was probably the first time in the annals of the stage that ‘Macbeth’ was hailed as a comedy smash.”

Sports

The football, baseball and track teams all won their first region championships.

Sophomore Jay Gamble did something no other Judge athlete has ever done – he lettered in six sports in a school year. Quarterback of the football team, basketball point guard and baseball pitcher, he also contributed enough to the tennis, golf and track teams to earn letters in those sports. The Salt Lake Tribune called attention to his fete with an article and picture of him holding gear from multiple sports. Earning four letters were Chris Segura, Jim Caputo, Wayne Anderson and Larry Eagan. Baseball and football player Bob Lucero was the only freshman to letter.

Football team co-captains Michael Finnegan and Fred Pinkerton made All-State, as did Eugene Kurutz and Tony Strelich, in leading Coach Frank Callen’s Bulldogs to the region championship with a 5-0-1 record. Judge beat North Summit 20-7 in the state quarterfinals with the defensive line of Bill Cafarelli, James Funk, Mike Finnegan, Wayne Scott and Kurutz applying so much pressure that “the Braves coach had to put their passer in a short punt formation [now called the shotgun] that was successful only once.” The strong running of Strelich, Pinkerton, Jay Gamble, James Caputo, Bob Lucero and Mike Allem drove the offense, aided by a 50-yard run by punter Bob Swiler when the planned punt broke down. The Bulldogs were edged by Millard, 20-14, in the semifinals. Pinkerton and Strelich scored the Judge TDs. All-Region selections were Finnegan, Kurutz, Strelich, Pinkerton, Leve Salazar and Caputo. Key seniors were Brent Bonny, Jerry Wood and Johnny DeBernard. Rounding out the squad were John Olds, William Cafarelli, Wayne Anderson, Fred McNamara, William Overin, Robert Charles, Jack Gallivan, Michael Dussere, Raymond Marino, Chris Segura, Michael Allem, Larry Eagan, George Malouf, McCown Hunt, Ernest Fedor, Arthur Kimball, Jay Gamble, Victor Lucero, Robert Dannels, Charles Calfo, John Kamel, Ron Babcock, Robert Mitchell, Daniel Kolb, William Gully, Michael Tracy, John Estes, Richard McMichael and Paul Johnson.

Frank Callen resigned in late April as football coach to become football coach and athletic director at Bishop Armstrong Catholic High School in Sacramento. The coach since 1955, he was replaced by Frank Klekas. Judge also hired as his faculty replacement Robert McFarlane, a graduated of Cyprus High and the University of Wyoming. McFarlane played baseball for two years for the Salt Lake Bees At Judge, he coached baseball, helped Klekas with the football and basketball teams, and taught biology.

The Judge boys basketball team made the state tournament for the first time, despite Coach Frank Klekas’s less-than-enthusiastic outlook to start the season: “Good shooters, fair speed. Height lack hurts. A young team; it will develop into a fair club as season progresses.” Led by All-Stater Jay Gamble, a sophomore, the team included seniors John Pazell and Ed Middendorf, juniors Jim Caputo, Chris Segura, Tony Strelich, Jack DeGovia, Wayne Anderson, Mac Hunt and Glen Roser, and sophomores Larry Eagan, George Malouf and Mike Allem. The team compiled a 14-8 record, including a 47-46 win over Park City on Wayne Anderson’s buzzer beater, his only basket. Judge also beat Grantsville by two, a game secured by a pair of late Chris Segura free throws. The win was aided by Grantsville player Blaine Johnson, who got mixed up on a rebound and put it back into the Judge basket – two very important points, as it turned out. The Bulldogs lost a nail-biter in the tournament’s opening round, 37-36 to Uintah. It then beat Marysvale (58-48) and Lehi (49-39) before losing to Pleasant Grove (51-38), settling for eighth place. Jay Gamble was named to the Deseret News’s Class B All-State team.

Coached by Emma Burbidge, the girls basketball team finished second in the six-team Inter-Church League. Games were played on Monday evenings in the new gym at St. Mary-of-the-Wasatch. The host school had a team along with St. Ann’s Parish, Bingham High, St. Vincent’s, St. Theresa’s and Rowland Hall. Games were played with the old-fashioned rules:  six players per team, three restricted to each side of the court, with players allowed to dribble only twice. The Bulldogs finished with a 4-2 record, both losses coming to St. Mary’s. Leading Judge were captain Neva Mae McElhatten, fellow seniors Marleen Moeller, Yvonne Lepore, Pat Vargas, Betty Ann Miller and Yvonne Rasmussen, juniors Sallie Harris, Lorraine Waser and Patricia McElhatten, and sophomore Dianne Fernandez.

CO-STATE CHAMPION – The baseball team shared the Class B state title with Notre Dame High School of Price, battling to a tie on a rainy day in coal country. Coach Frank Callen’s entered the game 6-0 after slipping past North Sevier 4-3 in the semifinals. Judge was losing 3-0 after four innings when a deluge hit, suspending play for hours. Officials decided to start a new game, rather than completing the first, and the score was tied 2-2 after nine innings when play was called because of darkness. Unable to get the two teams together, state high school officials decided to declare them co-champions. Freshman lefthander Bob Lucero was Judge’s ace pitcher, securing the region title with a 12-strikeout mound performance and a game-winning triple that drove in Wayne Scott to give Judge a 2-1 win over St. Joseph’s. There were other heroes: Jay Gamble and Bob Swiler combined on a no hitter in an 8-0 win over Park City. Mostly a shortstop, Swiler was the team’s top hitter, along with first baseman Jim Caputo. In its year-end review of sports, the Judgeonian gave some mock awards to the baseball team, such as “Jim Funk, the name of that statue that coaches third base, is the recipient of the Ed Middendorf award for his outstanding poses in the coaching box.” Other members of the co-championship team were Chris Segura, Jerry Wood, Fred Pinkerton, Larry Eagan, William Cafarelli, Leve Salazar, John Estes, Robert Swiler, Tom Durkin, Patrick Stone, Michael Costello, Wayne Scott, Ron Babcock, Lawrence Phillips, Victor Lucero, Eugene Kurutz, Michael Tracy, Joel Pinkerton, Thomas Barry, David Eugster, Peter Vietti, Hugh Cotterell, James Estes, Winston Snyder, Wayne Anderson, Michael Rappold, Jay Gamble, Brian Gallagher, Ed Middendorf and Glen Roser.

The track team won its second consecutive region track championship under Coach Frank Klekas, piling up 141 points to 45 for second place Morgan. The Bulldogs were led by Jack DeGovia, a high hurdler and middle-distance runner who won three events at region, sprinters Robert Charles and Brent Bonny, 440 runner and discus and javelin thrower Bill Overin, discus hurler Mike Allem, long jumper Larry Eagan, high jumper Wayne Anderson, relay-team members Bill Gully, Bob Lucero, George Malouf and Carl Rasmussen. Other Judge tracksters were Victor Lucero, Arthur Kimball, Fred Pinkerton, Robert Kline, Rasmussen, Monty Gully, Raymond Marino, Ernest Fedor, Chris Segura, Larry Eagan, Robert Charles, James Funk, Wayne Scott, Daniel Kolb, Bob Lucero, Eugene Kurutz, John Turner, Bill Gully, Leve Salazar, William Cafarelli, Robert Swiler, Thomas McMahon, John Nichols, Paul Hill, James Leaver, James Gully, Carl Rasmussen, Richard Crossley, John Gonzalez, Richard McMichael, Bertram Chavez, Jack Gallivan, Michael Fata and McCown Hunt.

The tennis team did not have any league competition, so Coach Frank Klekas arranged matches for his six players – Chris Segura, Jim Dailey, Jim Caputo, Jay Gamble, Wayne Anderson and Larry Eagan. Segura and Dailey earned the first letters given in tennis.

Members of the Varsity Club were John Pazell, Brent Bonny, Jerry Wood, Kline, Edward Middendorf, Fred Pinkerton, Michael Finnegan, Eugene Kurutz, John DeBernard, Brian Gallagher, Michael Dussere, James Funk, Wayne Scott, Bill Cafarelli, Leve Salazar, Raymond Marino, John Olds, Jackson DeGovia, Jack Gallivan, Kimball, James Caputo, Anthony Strelich, William Anderson, Chris Segura, William Overin, Fred McNamara, Ernest Fedor, Bob Charles, Glen Roser, Bob   Swiler, Victor Lucero, Carl Rasmussen, George Malouf, Michael Allem, Jay Gamble, Larry Eagan, Michael Tracy, William Gully and Bob Dannels.
