Brett Kavanaughs page in his high school yearbook offers a glimpse of the teenage years of the man who is now President Trumps Supreme Court nominee: lots of football, plenty of drinking, parties at the beach. Among the reminiscences about sports and booze is a mysterious entry: Renate Alumnius.
The word Renate appears at least 14 times in Georgetown Preparatory Schools 1983 yearbook, on individuals pages and in a group photo of nine football players, including Judge Kavanaugh, who were described as the Renate Alumni. It is a reference to Renate Schroeder, then a student at a nearby Catholic girls school.
Two of Judge Kavanaughs classmates say the mentions of Renate were part of the football players unsubstantiated boasting about their conquests.
They were very disrespectful, at least verbally, with Renate, said Sean Hagan, a Georgetown Prep student at the time, referring to Judge Kavanaugh and his teammates. I cant express how disgusted I am with them, then and now.
