Cruisersi If there are any who are won- iwfins First Matcll taste of victory for hungry Lions. New system proved itself worth while. Kropf and Graisy paced scoring with 8 apiece. Dec. 19-Sumner 19, Bells 17. Players' inability to dunk set-ups proved deciding factor of game. I i V I i I Luhtola, Sumner guard, connectedl with six field goals. Dec. 21-Seattle Prep 51, Bells 24. First game played before large I crowd. Lions' nervousness caused, costly fumbling which was used to 5 good advantage by Prep five. Car- l roll of Seattle was high with 11. Kropf contributed 8 to Bellar- mine's score. Dec. 27-Yelm 31, Bells 24. The .y cracker-box gym is put to goodi use by home team. Individuali scoring honors went to Kropf with 12. i Jan. 2-Gig Harbor 18, Bells 29., First home game for Lions. Ort- ing's advantage in heightfwas nul- y lified by the Bells' sharp scoringi eyes. .Kropf, Bellarmine's leadingi scorer, again tops list with 12. , Jan. 5-Stadium 41, Bells 18., Disadvantages in experience and height prove fatal to Lions. Stu-l dent body gave creditable supporti by laudable attendance. Burrows, Stadium forward, contributed 10g toward Tigers' cause. I Jan. 9-Federal Way 33, Bells 36. i A nip and tuck battle all the way. Vlahovich dropped in three count- ers in overtime period to win the game. Thornberg and Bylin, of Federal Way, made 13 and 12 re- spectively. But their sharpshoot- ing was offset by Lions' smooth, teamwork. Record to date-four wins against four losses. Jan. 12-O'Dea 47, Bells 20. Every team has its off night. This happened to be it. No excuse. Boyle, Meher and Ulloa, of the Irish, accounted for 38 of their team's 47 points. Jan. 13-Eatonville 47, Bells 29. Lions were unable to shake off . cruised to easy victory with Davie, their center, making 15 points. Jan. 16fLincoln 42, Bells 24. Close checking and accurate long shooting of Abes enables them to capture verdict. The Lincoln guard combination, McGuire and Mellor, scored 11 points apiece. Jan. 19-Fife 50, Bells 28. The score is no example of the game's intensity. Although held at a great disadvantage in the first half, the Lions came back to match the Trojans almost point for point. Dan Jacques, Fife cen- ter, led all the scoring with 20 counters. Kropf and Trine scored 10 and 9 respectively. Jan. 23-Stadium 57, Bells 27. It's that same old story, lack of height and experience, that proved to be the Lions' greatest foe. The outmanned team, however, never 'stopped trying. Burrows and Lewis I outpaced all competition with 17 and 15 tallies. Harrington, Bell guard, contributed 8 points to lead his team. , Bell Cubs Good In Early Games The small but powerful Cub five were off to a good start this bas- ketball season with a win over Holy Rosary. The score was Holy :Rosary 13, Cubs 46. In their second start the Cubs were defeated by a strong, rangy St. Leo's quintet by the score of 30-11.

Father Provincial 2 F A A in 7 V December, 1944 - 0 ' WIS A S7152 Harry a ' g ' g Vol. 21, No. 4 New M, C3 - Year Merry Chr 1Stm3S BELLARMINE HIGH sci-toon, TACOMA, WASHINGTON E Merry Christmas I- MC ' Presidenfs Greeting Christmas comes again to a warring world. Christ wishing and prom- ising His peace to men of good will who find- themselves at war--this would seem to be a contradiction. Rather it contains some of the deepest truths of christianity. For as Christ loved and prayed for those who raised their hand against Him, yes even for those who nailed Him to the cross, so too can the christian soldier love his enemy and pray that the man whose death he brings about on the Held of battle may share the same eternal treasures of heauerr which he himself is looking forward to, and which will be his if he has an effective good will toward God and toward his fellowmen. Christ's heart and the christian heart are too big that hate should find a place therein. To our alumni, to you who have made the supreme sacrifice, or are scattered to the four winds, or are carrying on on the home front: to the boys in school with us at the present time, to all our kind benefactors and friends, the Faculty of Bellarmine High School wishes the true peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ. God bless you all. REV. HENRY J. SCHULTHEIS, S. J. President of Bellarmine High School Junior Prom Committee Announces Date for Dance i140 Delegates Attend Third nnual Press Conference One hundred and forty Catholic high school students attended the third Annual Puget Sound Catholic Press Conference.

This was Bellarmine's annual Junior Prom will be presented by the Juniors on February 3, in the school gym. This is the second Junior Prom to be held under full war- time conditions. Hal Gullette and his band will furnish the music. The dance will be informal. Since this is toqbe the sole dance to be held before Lent, it promises to be the biggest social event of the new year. Tickets are priced at 51.50, and dancing will be from 9 to 12. Gullette and his band have achieved quite a name for them- selves in local social circles and his name is not new to dance- goers. He is noted for his dance- able music, featuring sweet tunes with a new twist in arrangements. The band consists of ten pieces. Stan Fairhurst, co-chairman of the Prom Committee, maintains, this dance should be the best function of the new year and one that the Seniors and Juniors will long remember.

Robinson is the Provincial of the Oregon Proylnce, and Superior of 473 Jesuits iii- the Province. As Provincial of the Oregon Province he came to begin an acquaintance which will not end soon. At a special assembly held in his honor last Wednesday, he gained complete mastery over the entire student body by his adept knowledge of the sign language and by his deft wit. Fr. Robinson granted a holiday upon presentation of the request by the student body president Jim McGoffin.
