PAGE FOUR T H E LION FEBRUARY, 1944 Sodality Sponsors Functions The Junior and Senior Sodali- ties, acting in close co-operation, have added another laurel to their crown. The KEEN-O-Fun, the so- cial which was the first to have been sponsored by the Bellarmine's Sodality in recent years, was an overwhelming success. 'I'he Bell gym was packed with enthusiasts who flocked to greet the program. This included KEENO, prize games and a dance. Entertainment was welded into a well-rounded out evening of fun. The affair netted the Sodality dividends mounting to over a hundred dollars. Part of the proceeds will go toward buying pamphlets for our service men. A burst of applause is given to all who made this a complete suc- cess and especially to our neighbor- ing Catholic High Schools. On February' 2nd, Feast of our Lady's Purification, the Junior So- dality, composed of members from the Sophomore and Freshman classes, recited a Living Rosary in the school gymnasium. Gerry Driscoll, the Junior Prefect, gave a brief talk explaining the .mean- ing of the Feast. The student body then sang 'iOn This Day. Frank Still and Jim Burich played the hymn on the accordion, while Jim McGoffin was at the piano. Ted Mclntire explained the purpose of the Sodality and how active it has been here at Bellarmine. The Living Rosary followed. The pro- gram ended with the singing of the Sodality's hymn Mother Dear. Dean of Studies Visits Bellarmine On Jan. 27th, Bellarmine was honored with the customary visit of the Rev. John F. Dougherty, S. J., Dean of studies in the Oregon Province. Fr. Dougherty is sta- tioned in Portland, Oregon, and once a year visits each of the Jesuit Schools in the Province. Fr. Dougherty announced that he was very pleased with the stu- dents of Bellarmine and told a re- porter of the Lion that he hoped to return soon for another visit. Beat Lincoln Tomorrow Night Debaters Make Go-od Six members of the Debate Club accompanied by their moderator, Mr. O'Brien, traveled, last month, to Seattle to participate in a de- bate tournament at Seattle College. In the advanced division, 'James Henriot and Oliver Glassy were generally recognized as being amongst the outstanding debaters. Jack McDonough, Jim Christnacht and Stan Fairhurst received com- mendations for their speaking in l Are You a Doodler? l Are you a doodler? The term, although coined in recent years, describes a practice which must be as old as writing. Everyone loves to scribble in a preoccupied man- ner. Here in Bellarmine the cus- tom is particularly prevalent. Very often the results are quite interest- ing and humorous, as long as they are confined to sheets of paper, book covers, and blotters. How- ever, not all people appreciate the same types of art. Since many different people make use of the desks and chairs in the course of the fday, may we suggest that doodlers refrain from decorating Ethese desks and chairs? ' Remember, the best way to keep your name before the eyes'of fu- ture Lions is by performing worth- while deeds which will be remem- bered through the years, rather than by carving or drawing on the desks, where it is positively un- welcome. NEW SEMESTER NEW CLASSES Solid Geometry is now being I New Yell Duke E l Bobby Monaghan The gym was crammed 'with ex- citement and enthusiasm. Febru- ary 9th was the appointed day on gwhich a new yell leader would be elected. The five contestants istrode out one at a time, display- Ling their talents to the satisfaction of the student body. Then as the loud applauding and shrieking had died down, it was noticed that the majority of the popular vote was held by a freshman. Bobby Monaghan is the first freshman to have ever held the office of yell Duke at Bellarmine. Here is a boy with plenty of fire, spirit and character. A freshman with qualities as these and with the hustle Bob has deserves this job. We congratulate our new Yell Duke. gines will supplement the class- room lectures. As part of a new curriculum in the studies is a class in Journalism taught by Mr. Penna, S. J., Lion Adviser. Military Tests Cont'd fContinued From Page Oney designed to test the aptitude and general knowledge required for the program of college training and yall qualified students are urged to take the test. At the time of lPROM COMMITTEE MAKES PLANS One of the latest activity groups itaking shape at Bellarmine is the lJunior Prom Committee, of which iChuck Schuler is the newly elected ichairman. Assisting Schuler are lJim McGoffin, Bob Erickson, Don iMcGavick, Jim Comfort, Jim Hen- 'riot, Bill Sullivan and Louie Ren- ner. , Every basketb-all game the com- jmittee has a poolg the proceeds of xwhichgo into the Prom treasury. lin order to raise more money, lparties are being planned. Bob ,Wood is arranging for a swimming jparty for the boys to be held 'at 'the Y.M.c.A. on February 19th. Jim Holt is in charge of an ice skating party which will be held ,some time in March. ' The Junior Class of this year lare really planning a Prom that will be a bright memory for the departing seniors. l l Senior Class Elects Senior class elections were held Friday, February 4th, to fill the offices of president and vice presi- dent. The vacancies were caused by the departure of Jim Buchanan and Danny Stumpf into the armed services.

They came in second in the Pacific Coast Ice Skating Championships. Tommy has been skating four years under the able supervision of Clarence Hislop of Seattle. Both Tommy and his partner will leave for the National Championships at Minneapolis Feb. 25-26. Good luck! Sophs Shine Playing a superb defensive game, the Bell-armine Sophs turned back the Lincoln Sophs, 16-12, February Sth. It was the second Abe set- back at the hands of the Bells who now have 7 wins in 11 starts. Though held to three points, Cap- tain Bill Kropf stood out by virtue of his brilliant checking, as he time and again batted down Lin- coln's passes. Assisting Kropf were Flannery, Greco and Harrington who completely stopped the op- ponent's offense by their alertness in intercepting the ball. Payne and Vlahovich did meritorious work under the basket. Harring- ton chalked up 5 points, the same number made by Snodgrass of the Abes. 1 lcon TEAM CLOSES QSUCCESSFUL SEASON 3 We have a team in this school ,that every-one can be justly proud. ilt is not the Varsity, Reserves, lor the Sophs, although all of these gteams are doing fine, but the Cubs. -They have an almost untarnished record of 13 wins and 2 losses, one to the Clover Park Sophs, 39-33, and the other to our own Sophs, 19-18. a l l l The scores of these fifteen games ,show that the Cubs have smooth teamwork, accurate shooting and 'superb coaching.

The club is bolstered by Bill O'- Leary, Captain, Leroy Kretchmer, Jack Kelly, Jim Hermsen, Rufus Theriault, Jim Collins, Tom O'- Leary, Bob Caillier and Antone Mladineo. Frank Fontana man- ages the team. Fr. F. Harrington, S. J., the coach, has done a remarkable job in making such a fine team out of linexperienced freshmen. These boys will be the future players of Bellarmine. If they keep both feet ion the ground and practice hard, ithey show promises of being one of Bellarmine's greatest teams. Watch them closely! SOPHS DEFEAT PREP The Sophomores took their sec- ond straight game from Seattle Prep February 4th, 30-27, as Kropf and Haniger ganged up to accdunt for 22 points. Kropf dropped in 7 baskets while Haniger sunk 4 and was also prominent with his un- canny passes. Naish and Kane led the Prepsters with 6 points apiece. Attend the Game. Attend the Dance.

FEB. 11-LIONSITIP 0'DEA Bellarmine and O Dea got even with each other in an exchange of games on the Seattle prep school's floor Friday night, Bellarmine taking the varsity tilt, 44-38, and O'Dea the reserve game, 41-21. In previous games, O Dea won the varsity tilt, but lost the scrub game. I i It seems that the halls still ho-ld some attraction for our many alumni. Here are a few of the many who have wandered back to their Alma Mater: Paul Griewe-Class of '41. Now in V-12 at Gonzaga U. Outstanding basketball playerg still enthused with the same old spark. l Jim Moriarty, also a V-12 at Gonzaga U. We remember him as yell duke. He is at present basketball manager for the winning Zag team. Ray Hammerschmidt, only four-year letterman accountable at Bellarmine, home on furlough from Chicago Institute of Technology, Engineering school to you. Scooter Gallwas-Class of '43, Outstanding football and baseball player and ROTC officer. Our i'Scooter now has wings in Uncle Sam's paratroopers at Fort Benning, Georgia. ' Jim Bichsel-Class of '42, Now deeply engrossed in radio study at Farragut, Idaho. Jim was an able football, basketball and baseball man and topped this off by being student body prexy. And lastly, a very recent withdrawal, with scholastic honors, we see Frank Taylor haunting the halls on Feb. 7, the day before he left for the Marines via San Diego and all points south.

- 'il ai, in Q W January, 1944 , voi. zo, No. 4 f' as tllllllllllli 0 . MTI' ' x , , BELLARMINE HIGH SCHOOL, TACOMA, WASHINGTON Good Luck! Hi, Sailor! Qs, l I .XI Jim Buchanan Joe Corbett Induction Calls Bellarmine bids farewell with the close o-f the first semester to eleven seniors who will complete their high school course on Janu- ary 25, 1944. It will be the first time in the history of our school that seniors will graduate in mid- year. The present war and the draft of 18 year olds is responsible for this precedence. Immediately upon graduation they will enter the Eleven Seniors armed services. The entrance of these boys in the armed service is typical of the high patriotism shown by Bellarmine graduates, of whom 697, are serving our country at the present time. The graduates are: Robert Bott, James Buchanan, Harlan Danforth, Arthur Glueck, Daniel Harkins, Douglas Johnson, Richard McLaughlin, Lloyd Reed, George Strobel and Frank Taylor. McLaughlin's picture is missing. Qhe Catholic GWay of Zeing ct Soldier To those students of Bellarmine who are about to leave to join the armed forces may we give this message. You are going to become soldiers, good soldiers. But whether you have realized it or not you have always been soldiers. Perhaps not in a kahki or blue uniform, but you have been soldiers-soldiers of Christ. From the day of your baptism until the day you die you will always be soldiers and comrades of our Lord, Jesus Christ. iBeing a. member of our armed forces is a privilege and an honor. As a famed hero of this war wrote to his infant son, Be a good Catholic and you will always be a good soldier. But being a good Catholic and a good soldier is not an easy task. The war brings together many types of people, good and bad, people of all creeds and morals. There are as many temptations in the service as there are in civil life, and many more are added. . There are no atheists in foxholesu is true, but there are atheists in the camps and colleges, some may even be teachers or officers. Most of them are clever and are glib talkers. Avoid these characters entirely, as you are not yet prepared to argue with them. Just re- member that men of the same caliber have been trying to overthrow the Church with the same old line for 2000 years, and have never succeeded and never will. On active duty it will not be as convenient to go to Mass and Confession as it is in school. But try all the harder to make Mass and Communion. Those in the service never know when they will next need Christ-and desperately. Always be a good example to your comrades, there may be some ridicule thrown at you, but if only one soldier is added to Christ's army, it will be worth while. Labor as afgood soldier of Jesus Christ. II Tim. 2:3. Lloyd Reed George Strobel Frank Taylor Danny Danforth J Art Glueck DanAHarkins ' Doug Johnson Y, . L
