Sam Hayes to Honor Bell Bond Buyers Further evidence of the patrio- tism of Bell students was shown in the final figures of bond totals which revealed the sum of 324,- 689.50 had been realized. Up to the first announcement of these figures, 521,048.55 had been in- vested in war savings stamps and bonds.

We emerged long enough from our cells to inquire and re- ceive opinions from various teach- ers: Mr. Bauer: I am told that For- san et haec olim meminisse juva- bit but not just right now. Mr. Koehler: Stick around I'11 make at least ONE of those experi- ments work. , Mr. Kelley: I don't know what Shakespeare would say but per- sonally I'm glad. Mr. Agnew: I was so sure I put those Republicans around here somewhere. Mr. Lindekugel: Not another vacation? Au revoirl Bellarmine graduates of 1943! The editorial column of a recent issue of The Denver Register gives reputable figures concerning the percentage of Catholics in our armed forces at this time. Those figures, notably higher than the percentage of Catholics in relation to the country at large, are eloquent testimony to the loyalty and patriotism of our boys. Most of you will soon be swelling that armed number, and if you have had your entire high school course at Bellarmine, the years of military traininggiven you here will prove a valuable asset to you and to your country. Spiritual values and the spirit of sacrifce are not new nor foreign terms to you. Your very presence in a Catholic high school has meant sacriyice for your parents as 'Well as for yourselves. And this sacrifice has been cheerfully made on behalf of those spiritual values--in a word, Religion-which we hold too important to be divorced from any attempt at Education Worthy of the name. Yes, We staunchly hold with Pope Pius XI, and We hope that you have learned the wisdom of that stand: To be a fit place for Catholic students, it is necessary that all the teaching and the whole organization of the school, and its teachers, syllabus and text-books in every branch, be regulated by the Christian spirit, under the direction and maternal super- vision of the Churchg so that Religion may be in very truth the foundation and crown of the youth's entire training, and this in every grade of school, not only the elementary, but the inter- mediate and the higher institutions of learning as Well. That explains Bellarmine's existence. You can hold your head up and look any man in the eye as you tell that you have a diploma from Bellarmine High School-a Catholic high school. I g Never do anything that might cause Bellarmine to be ashamed of owning you. God bless and keep you-ever! Au revoirl LOUIS B.

BONDS FOR SCHOOL Buy a Bond for Bellarminef' was the slogan Mrs. A. B. Comforth Philomathea president, urged the students to adopt this summer. With high school boys now in position to earn good wages, reas- oned Mrs. Comfort, they should make some effort to help reduce the indebtedness of the school. This student drive is a. part of a well organized campaign to aid .Bellarmine by buying war savings stamps and bonds. Initial success of the drive has been very encouraging and officers of the Mothers, Club are confident that much rivalry will result be- tween parents, students and friends of the school once the definite details are announced.

JUNIORS SHINE FOR OLD BELLARMINE This year the Juniors really did shine for old Bellarmine. Led by the class presidents, Jack Erck and Jim Nordi, the classes of Rooms 11 and 12 made a great showing for the classes who had won loyalty awards since they entered in 1940. Sophomores Lead in Many Activities Laverne Martineau and Jack Hermsen were again lettermen of the year. Football letters were awarded to Barnes, Taylor, Farrell, Donohue, Kelly. Basketball letters were given to Vern Morris, who, with Martineau and Hermsen held up the Lion's share of the team. Baseball letters go to Payne, Row- ley, Morris and Reed. On other fronts the class of '44 did equally well. Vince Beauzer placed first in the Senior Elocution Contest. Jack Huston won the American Legion Contest. Pete Stefoni and Bill Van Rooy starred in Room Service. Mike Jayko again proved himself one of the best riflemen in the country with another distinguished Rifleman Medal. Recently elected Student Body Officers were Jack Erck as presi- dentg Bernard Loonam, editor of the Lion, as vice presidentg Bill Van Rooy as secretary-treasurer, and Charlie Mulderig as sergeant- at-arms.

Freshmen-Room 9 Freshman of the year is Jerry Driscoll, prefect-elect of the Junior Sodality and class-president be- sides various activities in extra- curricular circles. Recent elections of the sodality also named Tom Handley, vice- prefect and Tom Payne, secretary- treasurer. Among the frosh members of the reserve football team to re- ceive their letters were Walt Han- iger, Dick Renner, Jerry Patnode, Al Greco, Tom Payne, Antone Mo- sich and Jim Donovan tManagerl. In basketball the Cub Champs were very successful winning eleven out of twelve games. Those to re- ceive letters included Thad Mc- Arthur, Freckles Flood, Elvin Stowell, Al Rivers, Mike Thornton, Bill Kroft, Squeaky O'Larey, Bob Pavolka, Dick Messo, Joe Mil- ler, George Christnacht and Bob May. In intramural basketball, Room 9 was victorious in the Junior Di- vision, winning over the sopho- mores and other freshmen rooms. The team under Bill Kroft was composed of Johnnie O'Grady, An- tone Mosich, Tom Handley, Jack Harrington, Pete Marinkovich and Thad McArthur. In many instances the freshmen have surpassed the higher grades in loyalty. During the absence of janitor service the three freshmen roll rooms carried out their own cleanup campaign. In the Junior Elocution Contest, three freshmen were winners' in the semi-finals. These were Bob Cloquet, Stan Fairhurst and Tom Handley. In the, finals Handley emerged second.

April, 1943 Vol. 19, No. 8 ' BELLARMINE HIGH SCI-TOOL, TACOMA, WASHINGTON C o-C hairmen JACK ERCK and BILL VAN ROOY JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE SELECTS DATE FOR DANCE Students Are Urged To Stav in School A VITAL PROBLEM FACING MANY STUDENTS THESE' DAYS IS THE QUESTION OF STAYING IN SCHOOL. The authorities of the country have repeatedly warn- ed the students that Uncle Sam Will tap the men when he wants them, and in the interval expects them to continue their normal lives. But as this warning is being ig- nored there is much frank worry over the future of the country if young people all quit school. The fact is it is the most unpatriotic thing they could do. Democracy depends entirely upon trained leaders. The complicated method of American life demands people who know and who know thor- oughly. The enemies of Christian democracy are seeing to it that the young men continue with their training. The higher patriotism in this case consists, first and foremost, of getting all a student can out of class. That means no loafing in school. It means really mastering the sub- jects given them, not skimming the surface in lazy fashion. It means getting all they can from every subject, not sitting back until such time as they are jammed The Bell Junior Prom will be held May 14 in the Crystal Ball- room of the Winthrop Hotel. So came the final word this week from Bill Van Rooy and Jack Erck, hard-working co-chairmen of the Junior Prom Committee. According ,to the final report from Pete Stefoni and Vince Beuzer, music for the occasion will be supplied by Brad Bannon and his 10-piece orchestra. Other members of the commit- tees include: decorations, headed by Frank Taylor with the aid of Al Saunders, La Verne Martineau and Bud Barnesg publicity, Bern Loonam, chairman, Dave Peter- son and Jack Hustong tickets, Henry Hickey, Chas.

The school takes great pride in the announcement of these figures for, with the year nearing its com- pletion, they represent the stu- dents' contribution to the war ef- fort for the year. Recently a government repre- sentative challenged the students of America in the following words: Our schools, if they are to justi- fy their existence as leaders in community thought and activities, should be setting the pace in the selling of War Stamps, building of morale, conservation of , our possessions, salvage of scarce ma- terials, pre-military training, prep- aration for peace, and the train'- ing of students as real Americans. Because of this and other activi- ties, Bellarmine feels the challenge has been answered! OLD SANCTUARY BEING RENOVATED Preparations for a Guest, too long absent from the school, are rapidly nearing completion. Once again the Blessed Sacrament will resume its place in the school building as soon as the renovation of the sanctuary is finished. It is hoped that with this new feature, in such ready access to the stu- dents, greater numbers will avail themselves of the opportunity for visits. CALENDAR April 15-Subscriptions to The Cage.

Like a beautiful dawn after a roaring tempest, Easter shines forth as Christianity's most joyous day. This year, however, that glory is tainted by the terrible bloody conflict that is raging all over the world. Today there is a false glory, that of despots and tyranny, but this is not an everlasting glory. For with the passing of time it will die away. Nevertheless, true glory, such as that of the first Resurrection, can never die. Thus we should be assured that just as Christ went through the terrible torment of Gethsemane, an agonizing Crucifixion, followed by His glorious Resurrection, so we must go through the Crucifixion of a great conflict in order to rise with Him from the sorrow of the battlefield to the realization of future peace and security. CAM US DAY? ' You and I have both seen it, and we have probably been put to shame when we did. I am talking about the common sight of our refuse which we carelessly discard helter-skelter. This sort of thing should stop and we should make it our business to see that it does. The whole reason for this article was to put forth the suggestion, that Campus Day again become a tradition at Bellarmine. This day is one set aside exclusively to the beautifying of the campus by the student body and to elimin- ate those eyesores which bother all of us. We must remember, however, that cleanliness begins at home, and we should first level all of our efforts to the cleaning of the building proper. When this is done we may turn our efforts to the grounds. Let's all co-operate in making our school really clean and thus aid our city in its drive to tidy up. JOIN THE WAR ON DIRT! II NEW POLICY The coming year, we hope, will see a continuation of a better and more interesting Lion for all. The new staff wishes that this may become a reality. But we know that the Lion is YOUR paper, and in order that YOU might enjoy it, we must print that which pleases YOU. So in the future, if YOU have any suggestions, comments, or opinions, don't be afraid to pass them on to us. We hope that you will make such comments, as we are open to them Remember that the LION is YOUR paper, and you can make it what you want.

Bellarmine athletes have ventured out of the gymnasium to the turf to take up where they left off last December. Because of the deficiency of tracksters, Bella.rmine has no track team but it has presented formidable baseball teams to compete with nearbye schools in the past years. Father Logan, our new and very capable mentor, believes his club will ably uphold this standard. His thorough knowledge of the game has been acquired through years of active experience. If he can endow his team with the finer qualities of this enviable knowledge of the diamond game, this corner is sure Bellarmine will field a capable and noteworthy ball club. Do you recall the Hart-Steele feud which took place in the gym several months ago? Well, I remember vividly how enthusiastically it was backed and enjoyed by the student body l00'7b! In past years a smoker, a real get-together between father and son, has been an annual aff-air in our gym and it has proven highly successful and entertaining. Boxing talent is plentiful at Bellarmine, and this corner sees no reason why a colorful card of ringsters could not be arranged to make this event a successful and permanent activity. How about it boys? Something new has been added! Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Penna, a foundling golf club has been organized here at Bellarmine. As to date the success of the club is still in doubt, though there are many aspirants interested in it. The golfers have selected Allenmore, the spacious golf course adjacent to our school as their home grounds. Support your baseball team by Baseball Schedule your attendance. Let's be there.

In this place there lived a party by the name of Julius Caesar. It seemed that he ran the outfit by profession. In the same town lived a hard- walking, clean-living gent by the name of Mark Brutus. Now this opus wouldn't be a tragedy save for the fact that the boys from 'the corner pool-hall convinced Mark that the Boss was getting too bossy. Anyhow next day they plotted and on the night of March 14th the ghosts Kboth boos and ghoulsl went racing around Rome, letting the people know that the big show was about to begin and to buy their tickets early to avoid the rush at the box-office. Bright and early, the morn of the 15th, despite the pleas of his wife,,who always read the back of the book first and generally had the right slant on things, the Big Chief headed for the City Hall. The boys hanging around the anteroom playing the pinball machines and chewing on fifty cent Havanas when who should walk in but Mark and the mob. Hi ya, J. C., says they. Then suddenly the cutlery was put into motion and before you could say is the hammiest thing I ever read, there was the Big Chief, full length at the foot of Pompey's statue, deacler than last Friday's mackerel. And Bru- tus standing over the deceased, re- loaded his smoking .44 and spake these memorable lines: I, Marcus Brutus, dood it. And sure enough, he did. lContinued From Page lj great loss to the paper. The name on the list was Bob Hines for Whom we can sing hymns of praise for the commendable job he did as an associate editor. Then there came the name of Jim O'Brien, supplying us with the sports news and of Bob McDonough, telling of the brilliant work he did as a feature writer. Also of Ed Oswald and Jack Scherer for their im- portant job in the mailing and distribution of the 'fLion. Last but not least, came the name of the Reverend Adviser, in the un- tiring effort he put in so the stu- dents of Bellarmine could enjoy a school paper. These men deserve our praise and thanks, so let's congratulate them. LETTER ADDRESSED T0 STUDENTS From Ex-Coach, Now in Service Students: Since the time I first appeared at our Bellarmine and until the time I last walked away from our lovely school, my lessons that I learned and my thoughts of you and Bellarmine and all that it means have been many. I've lived, over and over again, my thoughts of our first meeting on the opening day of school. Since then my pleasant acquaintances with each and every one of you holds a very important and definite role in my life. If I could only picture to you that which goes on in my mind each day! Seems like I associate everything I do with some one of you fellows, more than that,-I even try to picture how you would go about doing a thing and then try to do likewise. For thsee associa- tions. fellows, I'm most grateful, believe me. Just try and picture me as one of you and all will soon be very clear to you. Yes, fellows, I'm really living a very different life down here. True, we have all our work cut out for us, but as I work, it's not my work I'm thinking and dreaming about, it's you. Fellows. of late, I'm so wrapped up in my memories of you that nothing counts or even seems to matter. If pleasure comes, all I do is substitute our fun we had together for it,' if a difficult blow comes land one came todayj all I do is recall the day following our irst football defeat and the way you fellows supported me. Why, I could lose my entire memory and yet could still feel the kindness and sincer- ity of that backing you gave me that day-words fail me in thanking you for that. The lessons I have learned through you fellows have been many. One lesson stands out in a shining light of its own,- your religion and what it has taught me. I must admit my faith grew since my dealing with the Jesuit Fathers at Gonzaga and it was not until then that I was firmly con- vinced that I did wrong in not zinishing my education in a Catholic University. Then I came to Bellarmine, and learn- ing and observing the Jesuit methods of teaching'I was abso- lutely sure that I had the right religion. During time of war a soldier gets to apply all that he has ever learned through his religion and of times wishes he had learned more. Seems as though that is the only sure ideal he has to follow. True, a soldier is armed, but real armour is his religion. Fellows, you have something supremely fine in your faith, donlt ever lose it or even let it weaken 5 make it grow, make it grow so great that it will transcend everything-do that fellows and your worldly troubles, though they may be considered great in the eyes of the onlooker, will appear to you anly as trivial. In closing let me thank you all for everything--let me thank you again and again and again. As ever, MR. SLATT. Pfc. Andrew M. Slatt. lContinued From Page ll A consideration too often sacrificed is that of thinking of the religious life and priest- hood. Going these days to the novitiate or the seminary is not a cowardly trick. It is per- haps as brave a thing as one can do. It means giving up the immediate service of one's country for the terrible burdens and labors-and perhaps mar- tyrdoms-that await the men and women of God in the strenuous and perilous years ahead. It is not refusing the uniform, but putting on the uniform of Christ: not running away from the military services but entering the service of the Captain and King. Indeed will the future of the world be pitiful if American boys are not in generous measure joining up with Christ in the great armies of peace and spiritual reconstruction. Adapted from an article by Daniel A. Lord, S. J. ALASKA MISSION RECEIVES FUND Father Baltussen has again re- sumed the maintenance of the Alaska mission fund. Already the school has achieved its lenten quota of two hundred dollars and is still accumulating more. Father Baltussen has told your reporter that he wishes to thank the boys for their generous contributions. From room 5 Cwhich has its weekly Dollar Day J, to our soon to-be- departed seniors, Crumor has it that Bellarmine now has a shoe- shine parlorb all have contributed beyond expectations. Father Bal- tussen's fund was started at the first of the year, and penitent wrongdoers were usually the only contributors. Since voluntary con- tributions were encouraged, many boys donated their nickels and dimes freely. Father Baltussen and the student body are to be congratulated for their splendid work. Book Donated To Library x The Man Who Got Even With God by M. Raymond has been donated to the student library by the Quill and Scroll members an- nounced its president, Fred Schlat- ter. Sodality Had Successful Year The Sodality has been very ac- tive this month. The goal set for the purchase of the antependum has been reached and the gener- osity of all is greatly appreciated. It will add to the small but beau- tiful faculty chapel. Attendance at Mass during the Lenten season has been very ad- mirable and credit should be given to the Freshmen classes and in particular to Room 10. This is a Sodality activity and all are en- couraged to attend Mass during this holy season. May devotions are to be held again this year, during which time the litanies of the Blessed Virgin are sung and religious talks are given by the students.

Father McAstocker, a former rector of Bellarmine and widely known author, in reply to the request to-use his name as the chapter head wrote: I am very honored to do so and I feel that the developing of young Catholic writers is a work very dear to the faculty of Bellarmine and to my- self. ' As the result of the recent drive sponsored by the club, a complete set of Fr. McAstocker's works have been presented to the library. The set includes: The Consoler, The Little Virtues, The Holy Family Trilogy, Himself, Herself, and The Carpenter, A Friend of Mine and The Joy of Sorrow. This is to be the first of such activities under the auspices of this club which plans to continue these drives to provide funds for the many projects of which the Lion has charge.

ORATOR WINS CONTEST Jack Huston, Junior, carried on the tradition of the annual victory of Bellarmine in the Americanism Oratorical Contest by capturing first place in the city finals held recently. This contest, consisting of an oration on some theme of Americanism and an extemporan- eous speech on a subject chosen by the judges, was under the direc- tion of the American Legion. In the county finals, in which he represented the city of Tacoma, Jack placed second after a close contest with the Puyallup repre- sentative. Varied Branches Beckon Bells to Def The past month has seen an in- crease in those answering the call of varied war services. Al Buhr, Harvey Collins and Jos. Koler have taken the advice of Lt. Charles Ralls who spoke to the seniors on behalf of the Marine Corps Officers' Training Program. This plan calls for forty boys from the state of Washington who are, at the time of enlistment, seven- 'teen years old and desire to be- come officers in the U. S. Marine Corps. - But what of those boys who are eighteen or over and are preparing for induction? Are they all to become infantry privates? Ac- cording to the present Selective Service Regulations the answer to both questions is no, All train- ees are given aptitude and prefer- ence tests and classified at the Replacement Centers. Ten per- ense Services cent are sent to naval training stations and the rest may be at- tached to the Air Corps, Tank Corps or Artillery or some other equally interesting branch of the Army. That doesn't mean all young men in this country are to don uni- forms and fight directly. They may take the offer of the Forestry Department of the Government. fContinued on Page 61 PAGE TWO T H E L I 0 N MARCH, 1943 Once Upon a Time Time was when the frosh were led: not setting examples but fol- lowing them. That evidently was the case in former years. But now we find the precedent upset. For who, but the frosh, are displaying true school spirit in keeping rooms clean in the absence of regular janitor service? The Seniors did something in this line but the frosh capitalized and improved on it. Yes, those diminutive creatures the upperclassmen seem to ignore, are setting the pace. It seems hard to believe but those upperclassmen should heed this example. Is school spirit and loyalty only a novelty reserved for the first year students? We don't think so but show the school by actions that this is not the case. If 'it were in our power we wo-uld give the loyalty award for this month to the frosh in general. They have deserved it. We salute you, froshg you have come into your own. Ding Dong Ding The time is no-w 7:15 a. m. B-U-L-O-V-A watch time. Station KTBI. Ah, ah, ah, don't touch that dial!

Hail, Holy Joseph, Hail! And that we should magnify Thee with due praise, bless and confess Thee on the feast of holy Joseph, who, a righteous man, was given by Thee to the Spouse of the Virgin-Mother of God, and as a faithful and wise servant, was set over Thy Family ---- -From the Preface of St. Joseph. Truly great is the tribute andir trust the Church puts in Joseph. In the above prayer he is accorded, among other things, the wonder- ful title, a righteous man. St. Matthew writes, Joseph, her hus- band, being a just man. He who was so loved by Jesus and Mary is honored by the Church as the patron of a holy death, the more so fitting because he died in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Indeed, they were the Holy Family! But how consoling is the life of the Guardian of Jesus. From his patience we can learn submission to the will of God. From his chas- tity- increased and strengthened purity. From his justice and right- eousness-the value of obedience. Wonderful then must have been the soul of Joseph. Certain is it that the Lord loved him and adorned him. He clothed him with a robe of glory and He bestowed on this patient brow the crown of sainthood fashioned of the crystal gems or rarest virtues. CSt. Joseph's Feast is March 195 F. A. V. We've seen it on the ROTC board more times than we can re- member. It's been under promo- tion and merit lists-and jug lists. But backing that cryptic mark was a man with whom the men of Bellarmine have been associated for the past seven years, a man whom we have all admired for his fine character. Staff Sergeant Frank Villaescusa has instructed us as Well as he has first instructed himself. He has imposed upon us a discipline far exceeded by his own self-discipline.

The Brother is not PAGE FOUR THE LIQN MARCI-1,1943 Some Thoughts On Vocationweek Among the states of life there is one that stands high above the othersg the Religious Life. Because it is such a noble vocation many are fearful of letting themselves consider it. Yet this fear is ill founded. It is a fear that detracts from God- as if His grace were not sufficient for one whom He really calls to this closer following of Himself. A great theologian, St. Thomas, holds that it is even wrong to turn away from it because of the fear of lack of virtue. It is true that Our Divine Lord gave perhaps His warmest invita- tion to the life of the coimsels to the innocent youth who had al- ways observed the Command- ments. But it is no less true that the same vocation was extended to Matthew the sinner. By this the Divine Master taught us that the Religious Life is open to all . . . As a matter of fact which of those two followed Christ? Mat- thew followed Him, but not the youth! For it were easier for a sinner to turn and follow Clurist than for one who would presume on his innocence. There is just one attitude to take if during Vocation Week I should hear the Divine Master whisper: Come follow me. It is the at- titude of the Apostle St. Paul: Thy grace is sufficient for me. A boy can become a Religious in two ways, by entering the religious priesthood or by becoming a lay- brother. The Religious Brotherhood is too little known and appreciated .AYA'-'A'A'-'A'-'A'A'-'A'-'A 'A '.Q I I Ol-IN SON 'S If CANDY MANUFACTURERS I: 1109 So. Kay st. ji Tel.

Could you see our beauti- ful parks stripped of their trees, by a populace that was entirely without fuel in the dead of winter? Could you Visualize yourself, or one of your friends, eating foul gar- bage to keep from starving? These are rather revolting thoughts but the fact is, that just such things as these are happening today. One of the most sordid and shocking examples of Hitler's New Order is the stricken city of Warsaw, the once proud capital of Poland. Why do we mention Warsaw? We do so, because it is typical of the other fair cities that have been delivered up to the torch of fiend- ish barbarism. It has felt the fiery roar and soul shattering shock of high explosives. It has seen its citizens dreadfully murdered and left lying in its once peaceful streets. Yes, but while Warsaw's story is horrifying, any citizen of Paris, Athens or Rotterdam could tell you an equally terrible tale. It is the story of ruthless savagery, un- paralleled in all history. In spite of all this, Poland still fights on, not only at home but also on the far flung world battle fronts. A striking example of Po- lish unity is an illustration which appeared in one of the many un- derground papers. It showed two hands joined through a breach in the wall that surrounds the Jewish Ghetto. This Ghetto is an en- only necessary to his order but he treads a sure way to heaven. He wears the cassock, takes the vows, like a priest. He shares with the other members of his order their life of prayer, silence, recreation and work. Only his work is hidden with Christ at Nazareth. He cares for the temporal needs of his brethren so that they may be free to carry on the spiritual work of the Church. This life-state of the Religious Brotherhood is worth pondering during Vocation Week. Meet the Moron He is also a philosopher. He says that the reason for the sim- il.arity between a can of tomatoes and a horse is that neither can ride a bicycle. I could tell you more jokes but you would just laugh at them. closed area of 100 blocks and is the highest pinnacle in the way of outright brutality that the Nazis have yet attained. As in Warsaw, the Nazis have failed in the rest of E1.u'ope. On the day Warsaw suffered the heaviest bombing of the siege, more people were united in mar- riage than ever before in the city's history. This is the answer of Man to the Nazi blueprints of ex- termination. And Man will survive in freedom long after the Nazi madness has crumbled in the dust. ...Li-l,i... SODALITY OFFICERS TO BE CHOSEN SOON New officers will be chosen this month for the coming year. This will allow them ample time to get acquainted with their offices and functions. The First Friday Mass and Holy Communion was well attended. This was also the Spiritual meet- ing for that month. Hymns in honor of Our Lady were sung and the Act of Consecration renewed. Junior and Senior groups are both commended for their coi- operation in procuring the new antependium for the altar. Short Stuf I hear MARTELLI will be a lead man soon but after all, everyone 'nose' he's good.-Have you no- ticed how C.

The fatal day of graduation is fast approaching, so Seniors see about those pictures! If possible all pictures should be taken during March to insure publication in the Lion and local newspapers.

During the first half the 'Tigers seemed to have a slight edge, the second quarter ending 24-21 in their favor. With a quick scoring outburst paced by Pitsch, who copped high point honors with 13 points, the Lions took an early lead at the start of the sec- ond half and were never headed from then on. This victory tied up the four game' series with Sta- dium this year, both teams having won two and lost two. 1- i Bells Trounce O'Dea In Decisive Game Playing fine ball the entire game, Bellarmine cagers ended the O'Dea fifteen-game winning streak by a decisive 46-30 score. The Lions led all the way and were never seriously threatened. Martineau led the scoring with thirteen points, Hermsen was next with a total of nine. Rask, Pitsch and Morris each contributed eight First row, left to right: Bill Kropf, Squeaky 0'LareY, Thad McArthur, E. Stowell. 2nd row: Stan Fairhurst, Tommy Flood, Joe Smith, Bob Pavollca, Fr. J. Logan, coach, and Jack Harrington. LIONS AVENGE EARLY DEFEAT points to round out the Lion scor- ing. Courage was high for O'Dea with a total of eleven points. Meet the '43 Team Cliff Schiesz-Sr. Cliff has always played consistent ball and he is known for his aggressiveness in getting that ball. Last year he made All City and All Tournament at Lakeside. .Larry Rask-Sr. Larry's been a regular guard for three years. He is best known for his defensive work and his control of the ball. Seldom shoots but always comes through in a pinch. Dean Pitsch-Sr. Dean is a former midget and reserve player and specializes in one-handed shots in which he is deadly accurate. He is rated as one of the most improved players of the season. Ray Sullivan-Sr. Ray, one of the taller members of the team is a. good backboard man. Although he is of a quiet nature he ls always in there fighting. Al Fairhurst-Sr. Al, a scrappy relief guard is always available for heavy duty'servlce. He has proved his ability to keep on fighting and has also lent a great aid to the Reserves. Chuck Galbraith-Sr. That slim read head you see out there push- ing those long shots in is Charley Galbraith. He is always good for some baskets when he gets his long shots a flying. Laverne Martineau-Jr. La. Verne has been one of the high scoring forwards all reason. He specializes in side court shots and will be a good man to see returning next year. Y Jack I-lermsen-Jr. Jack is another long shot artist who is also ON PREPSTERS Avenging an earlier setback by Seattle Prep, our Lions welcomed back the previously ill Coach Kelly, with a 47 to 34 victory over the determined Panthers. Driving hard the first half, the Bells found themselves on the long end of a 21 to 11 score at the in- termission. Good marksmanship by Schiesz and Hermsen and fine de- fensive work by Rask lengthened the Bell lead to 36-21 at the end of the third quarter. Substituting freely in the fourth quarter the Lions drifted through for a de- cisive victory. The Panther defeat was very important for .Bellarmine, in-as- much as it threw the Catholic Championship Series into a three- way knot with Seattle Prep, O'Dea and Bellarmine, each having won CUB TEAM CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR The Bell Cubs climaxed a highly successful season with victories ov- er the Seattle Prep Cubs and the Parochial League All-Stars. They ended their season with 10 victor- ies in 11 games. In the Prep tussle the scrappy Cubs, playing a preliminary for the first time, overcame a six- point half-time deficit and, spark- ed by Bill Kropf's one-handed push shots, went ahead to win out in the last minute, 27-26. In a hard-fought and well-played game the Cubs defeated the Par- ochial All-Stars 39-21. Flood, with 10 points, McArthur with eight, were high scorers: Collins lead the Parochs with 10 points. In this game and the Prep tilt Squeak O'La.rey's checking was outstand- ing. Bellarmine Team Wins Exhibition Game The Lions turned in their last game of the season with a 36-31 win over Clover Park in the first exhibition game at the State Arm- ory, Wednesday night. The win gave the Lions a decision over the Warriors for the season by virtue of the fact both teams drew earlier in the season in a home and home series. Henry McLaughlin led the War- rior attack and contributed 13 points and La Verne Martineau dropped in 12 for the Lions. The Bells led 14-7 in the first quarter: 19-15 at the half and increased the lead 27-21 in the third quarter. Lions Downed in Final Encounter In the foLu'th and final meeting between the Lynx and the Lions, Lincoln came through with a 49- 41 victory. Dean Pitsch' and Cliff Schiesz led the Lions with 10 points each, while Thompson was high for the Lynx with 12 points. The Bell yearlings dropped a close one to the Lincoln Sophs, in a 'high scorer and a handy man to have around the backboard. fW0 and 10St two. the first game, by a 40-38Amargin.

This year to start a precedent, the specifi- cations were first circulated, serving as a background for the Popular Boy contest. From a few more or less repre- sentative papers we find that the ideal boy is: Between 160 and 180 pounds in weight. He is about 6 feet tall. His eyes don't matter: he may be an al- bino for all some care. He receives Communion at least once a month. His hair is combed but he never combs it in public. He tries not to whistle or to chew gum, especially at school. His membership in the Sodality is sin- cere. He wants it, not because his friends belong, but for more searching reasons. He is clean shaven if he shaves at all and is generally neat in appearance even though he is not the best dressed at school. He does not tell dirty jokes but he is very witty. Nor does he gam- ble or drinkg he does, now and then, indulge in the nicotine vice. As a student his grades are above average and he is sympa- thetic to all his teachers. He prides himself on keeping his school clean. He is not necessarily an athlete. He helps toward victory by kill- ing rumors and by buying bonds. Fr. Mcflstocker, S. J., Jesuit author for whom the Quill and Scroll Chapter at Bellarmine is being named. He is now stationed at San Diego, California where he assumed duties as pastor of a new church there. fStory on page 13 He is interested in the fair sex but is also respectful toward them. He does not compete as an Arthur Murray but he is an average danc- er. This is the opinion of the stu- dents of Bellarmine, but the young Catholic maidenhood of Aquinas and St. Leo's vehemently disagree on some qualifications. Here is the general consensus: The ideal boy is 6 feet tall at least but some prefer them shorter as one said A thing of beauty is a boy forever but who can tell? He weighs again-170 pounds-def- initely. His eyes do not matter as long as they are deep husky pools of intellectual inquiry. Of course, he attends Church every Sunday and makes frequent visitsg he receives Communion at least twice a month. He is neat all the time even when at work. He does not drink too much: one enthusiast condemned water too! He chews gum only if he doesn't crack it. He does, however, smoke. Girls seem to prefer chimneys to men. He doesn't gamble at all and is an average student. He does not whistle, even outdoors. He is wait- ing call into the armed service and is respectful to women. He is an athlete and excels in dancing, swimming and football. He is neither bold nor quiet -but conservative. He does not hold up the walls at dances but tries to give all the girls an even break. He dances well and has a fine sense of htunor and good reputa- tion. There were a few girls who in- sisted that he uses a missal at Mass. He must be interested in me said one young lady but an- other preferred an interest in good books and cocker spaniels! But it all was summarized in one wistful inquiry O where, O where is there a man like this! We wonder too.

V QStory on page ll Mass and Mites Urged for Lent Many and varied are the Lenten opportunities offered the students this year. Daily Mass, which was discon- tinued this year, is being resumed for the Lenton season and cele- brated by Fr. Jos. Lynch at 8:00 in the Faculty Chapel. The at- tendance has not been too satis- factory and the students are urged to hear this Mass in greater mun- bers. The self denial banks are, this year, replaced by Fr. P. Baltus- sen's organization for the Alaska Mission Fund which threatens to become a permanent feature after its Christmas success. These do- nations will again be forwarded to Bishop W. Fitzgerald, S. J. The goal set by Fr. Baltussen, who for years labored as a mis- sionary in Alaska, is two hundred dollars as the Easter gift to the missions. To realize this sum the daily quota of five dollars must be reached. The generosity of the students is being solicited for this drive. gan, Knabel, Kneeshaw, Kovach, Mike McDonough, McGoffin, 'Mc- Gavick, Mack, Maddock, O Grady, Louis and Richard Renner, Smith, Tesky, Chas. Toynbee and Wood. Another important job is Ci- vilian Defense in which many stu- dents are actively engaged at the present time. But wherever they are or whatever they may be do- ing, Bellarmine..students are sure to be aiding toward the final vic- tory. Aquinas Academy was the scene of a business meeting held recently, at which representatives from the school newspapers of Aquinas, Bellarmine, St. Leo's and St. Mar- tin's discussed plans for the sec- ond annual Catholic High School Press Conference to be held at St. Leo's on November 1. The meet- ing was under the direction of Sr. M. Virginia, adviser to the Aquinas Echoes, Sr. M. Rosalinda, directress of the St. Leo's Sa-Le-Si and Mr. S. D. Penna, S. J., faculty adviser to the Bellarmine Lion, who also acted as chairman. Discussions for the adoption of a constitution for the Press As- sociation were held and according to these initial plans for next year's conference, invitations are to be extended to all Catholic High Schools of the Diocese of Seattle.

Delegates from the staffs of the St. Leo's Former Rector Named to Gallery Many friends and students of Bellarmine recently recalled mem- ories of a former rector, when word was received that the Rev. David P. McAstocker, S. J., had been honored by being elected to the Gallery of Living Catholic Authors. I-Ie is one of less than 300 persons to have been enrolled in this group which is chosen from eminent Catholic authors through- out the world. The election was conducted by a board of governors including distinguished e d i t o r s, publishers, educators and literary critics. Other members include such famous names as Maritain, Claudel, Dawson, Feeney, Kaye- Smith and Maynard. Fr. McAstocker was rector dur- ing the first years after the schoo1's founding and is Widely known for as, Once Upon a Consoler, and his Hour Glass, in a present he is sta- Diego, California his books, such Time, and the column, Life's local paper. At tioned at San where he recently assumed duties as pastor of a new church there. His latest work, Speaking of An- gels, is to be released in a short time. Sa-Le-Hi, Aquinas Echoes and St. Martin's Sword and Saber attend- ed the conference which was spon- sored by the Bellarmine Chapter of the Quill and Scroll. Chairman for the day session was Mr. Penna, whose theme of challenge resulted in the organiz- ation of a planning board, con- sisting of the editors of the school papers who are planning a. spring conference on a suitable date, and is to be held at Aquinas. Each school presented a topic, developed by a speaker and dis- cussed in an open forum. Monica Roller of the sa-Le-Hi staff spoke on Influence of Journalism on all Frontsng Margaret Kiely, editor of the Aquinas Echoes, presented a paper on The Value of the Cath- olic Press g Tom O'Grady of St. Martin's on Problems Facing a Small School, and Fred Schlatter 4Continued on page 41 Sodality Reveals Memorial Plan Plans for the memorial project of the joint sodality groups are rapidly nearing completion, it was announced by Claude Knecht and Bill Sullivan, prefects. On con- ferring with Fr. Jos. Lynch it was decided that the sodalities' gift to the school this year would be an antependium for the altar in the Faculty Chapel and, if possible, other small decorations. Unlike past years, the money will be raised by subscriptions for both Junior and Senior groups. Fr. Lynch points out that since the chapel is in constant use by the students for visits, it is only proper and to their own advantage this plan be carried out in beau- tifying it. Announcement is also made of a reception to be held for candi- dates on the Feast of the Annun- ciation, March 25. 1 ....l- ST. LEO'S CONDUCTS BELL INITIATION Officially inaugurating the pres- ence of a Quill and Scroll Chapter at Bellarmine, the Elizabeth Jor- dan Chapter of St. Leo's High School conducted initiations re- cently for ten students chosen for this honor. The initiation, following the im- pressive candle light ritual, was held at the St. l'.eo's Auditorium by the chapter chairman, Marilyn Wilton, assisted by Monica Rol- ler, Patricia McGuirk, Evelyn La- tour, Marjorie Christin and Pat Keely. This affair was under the direction of Sr. M. Rosalinda, ad- viser to the Sa-Le-Hi. The new members, who include Vince Beuzer, Tony De Filipps, Jack Scherer, Fred Schlatter, Bob Hines, Bernard Loonam, Ed. Os- wald, Rich Simpson and Bill Van Rooy, are planning to elect their chairman soon. PAGE TWO THE LION February, 1943 Now Listen . . . Of course, we know you're not guilty. not you. Why. you pride yourself as a cornerstone of Bellarmine. A But, do you see yourself as others see you? If you are showing yourself as the cornerstone, the edifice must be unsteady. What's the point, you ask? Oh, if we told you sooner you wo-uldn't have read this far: you see it's rather an old story. We know it is better to appeal to your selfish side so we term it school pride, not spirit. Spirit is something which results from a genuine interest, but frankly, we wonder about you. Do you respond to the school as some- thing close to you-all tied up with your interests? For example, why must groups be organized to keep halls presentable? This is no credit to your pride. Or are you one of the loud voices claiming indifference as your right because your parish clique is excluded? It is not that the control of such matters is in the hands of a. few but that you have left the field to- them. Oh, now don't risein your righteous wrath and demand we apply this to incidents. You see if you aren't troubled by this malady, don't worry, we probably didn't mean you. We mean the fellow next you-- the one who is a six hour a day student and that is all and even that is done poorly. We leave the application of these indefinite words those few-they will know those answers. Experience qualifies them. If you've missed the point and it's probably our fault we are wondering where you have discarded the school pride Cwe didn't say spirit! which you once so proudly boasted. Student Demoralizes Macbeth THIS MONTH . . . tribute is paid, in some small way, to that splendid group of Catholics who, as journalists and authors, are carrying the banners of Catholic Action for all to see. In these days when false values are falling victim to the havoc of their own design, there is so much comfort and value to be drawn from the works of these men and women who portray in periodicals, newspapers and books the truth so needed in the world. And there can be no doubt of the value to be drawn from their efforts for theirs is a nobler purpose in writ- ing than those who write merely to please the public. Train your- self now by these accepted ideals and in enjoying and learning you will also be adding additional ar- mour to your Catholic training, NEXT MONTH . . . on March 10 is issued in the season of Lent. How appro- priate a penitential season this year! All the world might find example in the Man of Sorrow's struggle and if it followed, Easter morn would mirror also the glory of nations reborn in the peace of Christ. Help, by applying yourself in the spirit of Lent. Some authors enjoy pushing a would-be big shot up the ladder to success, but in Macbeth, Shake- speare unmercifully puts the skids under an Eleventh Century Little Woman who made an all out ef- fort to put her husband in the big shot class. As the story opens three old witches, chanting an Eleventh Century Boogie Woogie tell poor weak-willed Macbeth that he is to become king-which is enough to swell anyone's head. The old boy, being quite elated over the prophecy, tells his un- scrupulous wife the good news. The forerunner of all social climbers, who get there by much back stabbing, Mrs. Mac steals into the kitchen for the sharpest of her culinary weapons. It so happened that Duncan, one of the few people in the way of Macbeth's immediate rise to pow- er, visits Macbeth's little fifty room shack. Before Duncan's visit, Lady Mac- beth instructs her husband in the gentle art of the double-cross. fAny similarity at this point, to Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini is purely in- tentional.J After Lady Macbeth slips the unsuspecting Duncan a few Mick- eys, Duncan dozes. Macbeth deposits the knife in Duncan's chest land I don't mean silverware chestl. Elxit Duncan- The three witches appear with BELLHB- S I r r rl IHJdHe We did something this month and are we proud!

In the meantime an army of civ- ilians, aware of Macbeth's treach- ery, assembles in Birnam woods and begins marching upon the castle. - Poor muddle-headed Mac thinks Birnam wood is marching and rushes out to meet his fate.

Member of the QUILL AND SCROLL 4 February, 1943 THE LIQN PAGETHREE Poor Foul Shots Lose Game for Bells I Misses at the foul line provedg costly and were a main factor ini Bellarmine's defeat when the Lions played Stadium here recently. The Bells played on even par with the I Tigers but failed to register on their foul shots, making only 5 out o-f 22. The final score was 36-27. The lead was held by Stadium throughout most of the game but they were never ahead by more than two or three field goals. Close checking on the part of the Ben- gals led to many fouls but the Lions couldn't seem to connect via the free throw. Stadium led at halftime 17-12. Fincham of the Tigers was high scorer with 16 points and Hermsen added 10 for the Bells. In the opening game the Sta- dium Sophs downed the Bellar- mine Sophs 36-14. LIONS Bow TO LYNX SQUAD The Bellarmine gym was the source of tremendous vocal out- bursts when the Lincoln basket- ball squad played the Lions there recently. The house was loaded to capacity and the spectators were on the edge of their seat the entire game as both teams played heads-up ball. The shorter Bells played an ex- cellent defensive game but the Lincoln heighth enabled them to score despite the Lion defense. The halftime score was 18-15 in Lincoln's favor. La Verne Martin- eau was high point man with 12 points, while Sivertson and Bruns- wick were high for Lincoln with 9 points each. In the preliminary the Bell year- lings dropped a 48-15 decision to the Lincoln Sophs. LIONS 38, LYNX 53 In a game at the Lincoln gym the Lynx were hotter than filte- crackers and just couldn't miss the hoop. The Lions played a good game but Lincoln was definitely on and couldn't be denied. Lincoln led at halftime 28-17. Brunswick was high point man with 21 points while Jack Herm- sen contributed 13 points for the Lions. In a preliminary game the Lin- coln Reserves defeated the Bellar- i mine Seconds 26-15.

LIONS EDGE OUT TIGER TEAM IN CLOSE CONTEST 32-31 SCORE 9 In the most exciting game of the game and Bellarmine was vic- the season by far, the Bellarmine Lions caged the Stadium Tigers to win by a 32-31 margin. The Lions took an early lead and managed to stay in front most of the game. Rask and Schiesz worked the ball so well that Sta- dium's guard who was supposed to check all the way down the floor was often left off-balance which enabled the ball to be worked in for close up shots. I-lalftime score was 13-12 with the Bells on the long end and the second half opened with close checking by both teams. At one time in the fourth quarter, the Lions had a five point advantage but two Stadium baskets cut the lead to one point. Stadium then went out in front to lead the score by one point with less than two minutes to go. However, Cliff Schiesz sank a long swisher to put the Lions in the lead once more. With but seconds to go the Lions decided to freeze the ball. Sta- dium, desperate to get the ball, aided the Bell stall by fouling the Lion players 3 times, but in each instance the Lions took the ball out from the sidelines instead of chancing to lose possession by taking the free throw. The horn ended the final tense seconds of l torious 32-31. Verne Morris was high point man and played a fine game under both baskets. The Stadium Sophs won a close game from the Bellarmine Sophs by a 19-14 score in the prelimin- ary. CUB TEAM WINS SIX OUT OF SEVEN ONLY LOSE T0 ALL-STARS The Cub team, winning their sixth game in seven starts, con- tinue to set the pace for Bell teams. Playing most of the city parochial schools they have gen- erally won by comfortable mar- gins. Their only setback was at the hands of the Haniger All- Stars of McNeil Island 24-20, but they avenged their loss by de- feating the same All-Stars the following week 22-12. Cub play has been featured by the scrappy floor work of Thad McArthur, the uncanny left-hand- ed shooting of Tommy Flood, and the consistent checking of Bob Pavolka. Joe Smith, Joe Oswald, Dick Messo, Jack Harrington, George Christnacht, Stan Fair- hurst, Squeak O'Larey and El- vin Stowell complete the squad. LIONS DOWN CLOVER PARK, FIFE Out for revenge, in the second game of their home and home ser- ies, the Bellarmine Lions easily trounced the Warriors of Clover Park 48-35 in a game played on the Bellarmine floor. The Lions dropped a close one to the Clover in their first encounter at Clover Park. The Bells took an early lead and remained in front by a safe margin throughout the entire game. Half- time score was 23-17 in favor of the Lions and later in the final period they increased the margin by a succession of quick field goals. La Verne Martineau was high point man for the evening with 16 points, followed by Verne Mor- ris with 11. McLaughlon was high for the Warriors with 10 points. In the preliminary game the Bell Reserves, led by Danny Stumpf with 12 points, nosed out the Clover Park seconds by a 33-28 margin. LIONS 35, TROJANS 30 Playing 'consistent ball through the entire game, the Lions downed Fife Trojans 35-30 in a contest played on the Bellarmine maples. The Bells took an early lead and were never headed. Having built up a substantial margin, Coach Kelley substituted freely, and every man on the Bellarmine squad saw action. This game concluded the home and home series between the two schools, Bellarmine having Won the first one 36-35 at Fife. PAGE FOUR T H E L I 0 N February, 1943 New Semester Brings Changes The new semester has recorded some important changes in the school but most noticeable of all was the acquisition of new stu- dents for the Bell roster. They number 18 and come from such varied points as North Dakota and Minnesota and from local schools such as Stadium, Fife, Clover Park, St. Martin's, Stewart and Brem- erton. When asked an opinion of the school, the unanimous word was 'fswellf' One student voiced his opinion in saying I wouldn't trade it for any other. The new students being wel- comed are Frosh: Donald Verhal- en, John Goss, Jacob Herz, Wil- liam Fackler, Bertil Johnson, Gail McFarland, Frank Loonam and Jack Schovlaing Sophomores: Richard Pope and Lawrence Schreinerg Juniors: Edwin Carey, Harlan Danforth, Pat Manley, Arthur Marchetta, Robert Davis, Eugene Michaelson, Francis Schov- lain, Frank Swanberg and John Tracy. This semester also saw the ad- dition of four more subjects, Busi- ness Law, taught by Mr. S. D. Pennag Civics, by Mr. W. Agnewg Washington State History, by Mr. J. Bauer, and Economics by Mr. Gordon Toner. The new courses have been enthusiastically re- ceived as is shown by the large attendance in each class. ROTC Makes Changes The quarterly re-organization of the Bellarmine ROTC' finds cadet Phil Brown as Battalion Com- mander and cadet Charles Gal- braith as adjutant. Captains Rich- ard Simpson, Al Fairhurst and Joseph Mijich are in command of companies A, B and C, respective- ly. These officers are assisted by six able platoon leaders. Highlighting the second year men are Staff Sergeant Jim Nordi and John Carey who are color Sergeants. The leading first year men are cadet Corporals James E. Buch- anan and Robert L. Erickson who are appointed color guards. A commission in the corps pre- pares a student for leadership in future life. Initiative, resourceful- ness and knowing how to 'do it yourself are a few of the fine qualities developed by this plan.

Important- Staff Changes Slated Next Month The attention of all students be designated soon but their in- 1 who wish to be considered for pos- iitions on the Lion staff for next iyear, is drawn to the fact that lnames are being accepted by the adviser, Mr. Penna. The new staff will be announced in the March issue from those can- didates who submit their names. If conditions permit, the new staff will edit the April issue of the Lion. Quill and Scroll members are to l KNIGHTS AIDING IN CLEAN-UP PROGRAM One of the steadily growing war casualities was school janitor ser- vice which recently ceased with the departure of the janitor. As it is impossible, under present condi- tions, to replace the outside ser- vice, clean-up work is being left undone and so an urgent appeal for student co-operation has been sent out by the school authorities. The Knights have once again resumed responsibility in patrol- ing the halls and will do so until it is not longer necessary, Charles Galbraith, prexy of the group an- nounces. The plan at present is entirely voluntary but if conditions do not improve, the club has plans for sterner methods. itiation will be postponed until school is resumed in September. This is to prevent the club's quota of ten original members from being surpassed. SENIORS CONSIDER NAVY V-5 PLAN With graduation looming before them the Bellarmine Seniors were audience to an outline of the Navy's new V-5 program for High School Students of 17 who are about to finish school. The speaker, Ensign Fox, USN, told simply, clearly and broadly of the nature ofthe system. With the draft capturing all able bodied men in sight, the Navy's offer seemed golden indeed and it is expected that Bellar- mine will be among the first in enlistments. Press Conference tContinued from page ll i discussed Post War Value of Journalism. Guest speaker was Mrs. James Egan, former associ- ate Editor of the Northwest Prog- ress, who advised the students on preparing for a journalistic career. Bellarmine journalists who at- l l I Record Honor Roll This uarter The smoke of battle cleared away aftera semesterls contest be- tween faculty and students and 24 students have placed on the honor roll. The semester started out with the faculty definitely leading ,with the students labor- ing home under niountains of books, but at the end of the se- mester it was the faculty laboring home under loads of homework pa- pers and semester examinations. The students were so much up on the Faculty the report cards were delayed for several days while the dust cleared away and the moun- tains of waste paper hauled away. The results, as posted by the ex- hausted office, were: Seniors-Phil Brown, Dick Carbone, Bob Hines, Jos. Koler, Ted Marchesini, Jos. Mijich, J. O'Brien, Ed. Oswald, J.

JESUIT GENERAL DIES IN ROME On Sunday, December 13, there came from the Eternal City of Rome, the sad news of the death of Father General of the Society of Jesus. The Very Rev. Father Vladimir Ledochowski, who had served the order faithfully for twenty-five years, had been called by death. He assumed his burdensome re- sponsibilities in the midst of the first World War, and had lived to see the world engaged in another more terrible conflict. In his' memory a solemn Re- quiem Mass was sung at St. Leo's Church. The rector, Father H. Schultheis, S. J., preached briefly on the character of the deceased. The faculty was joined by the en- tire student body in paying their final respects to this truly great man.

This religious house of studies is maintained at Sheridan, Oregon, as a place where young inen may study for the priest-hood. Shortly before his departure, Ted received a special promotion to the rank of Second Lieutenant in the ROTC, of which he was a member. This award was given in recognition of his work by the order of Lt. Col. Allan Johnson. He was also a sodalist, member of the honor roll and staff reporter to the Lion. Answering the call of a separ- ate field of endeavor, two other popular Bells left in the persons of Jim Cline and John Kelly. Taking advantage of the limited enlistment periods, Jim Cline has enlisted in the Coast Guard, while John Kelly is training for the Navy. Both while at Bellarmine were active in school affairs. Cline was advertising manager of the Lion for the school term of '40 and '41 and was a member of the ROTC. Leaving behind the laurels gained in two years of Reserve Football, Kelly was also a par- ticipant in many other extra- curricular functions. JUST AHEAD January 22-Basketball, Bell-Lin- coln, here.

' The important part they play in keeping up the morale and spiritual life of om' armed forces is unquestioned. Just as there is an urgent need for doctors to care for our armed forces, there is a need for spiritual doctors. Were it not for these physicians of the soul the spiritual life of the army and the world in general would be destroyed by the cancerous growth of anti-Christian principles. The eyes of the world have turned from the horrible example of anti-Christian Germany to the Catholic Church. Serene amidst the chaos she stands: her priests carrying high the Cross of Christ for the consolation of suffering humanity. What worldly honor is comparable with the happiness a priest must experience when he sees the gratitude in the eyes of a dying soldier who has received the last sacraments? The Catholic young man would do well to consider the serious need there is for more priests to continue the work with the Catholics at war, or at the home front and to help preserve a permanent peace after the war. The young man of today has a choice of many careers. He can enter college or receive training in the Army or the Navy. But to be chosen to lead an army of souls into the Kingdom of I-Ieaven, is there a career greater than this? -BOB HINES. THE LION REVIEWS 1942 January. 1942-Happy New Year!

The first team includes Cliff Schiesz, Larry Rask, Al Fairhurst, Verne Morris, Verne Martineau, Ray Sullivan, Dean Pitsch, Chuck Galbraith, Jack Hermsen, Ted Garitone, Jim O'Farrell and Jim Farrell. Lions 31, Auburn 29 In a nip and tuck affair the Lions edged out a stubborn Auburn team, on the Bellarmine floor, by a 31-29 margin. Hermsen scored 8 points and Martineau 7 to share scoring honors for the Lions. Lar- ling contributed 12 points for the losers. In the preliminary the Bellar- mine Reserves thoroughly trounced an Auburn team by the score of 33 to 15. Lions 42, Buckley 19 The Lions had little trouble in downing a Buckley team on the Bellarmine floor, in a game which saw the whole Bellarmine squad in action. Martineau scoring 17 points and Hermsen 11 were again high point men for Bellarmine, while Ross scored 6 points for the Buckley squad. The Buckley Reserves won a 30 to 13 victory over Bellarmine Reserves in the preliminary game. Lions 36, Fife 35 With a last minute field goal Bellarmine nosed out a fighting Fife squad by a one point margin. The Lions led at halftime 20-18 but Fife pulled ahead in the last quarter and was leading with less than a minute to go when Dean Pitsch of Bellarmine swished one through the hoop which proved to be the winning basket. The Ballarmine Reserves took a 30-24 decision from the Fife extras in the opening game of the even- ing. Lions 57, Sumner 65 In what proved to be the most exciting game thus far, the Lions dropped a. close one to Stunner, 57-65. The game was close from start to finish with the lead chang- ing hands frequently. However a rally on the part of Sumner, in the closing minutes, enabled them to pull ahead of the Lions and to win the high scoring game. Mar- tineau scored 16 points, Hermsen ' 15, Rask 13 and Schiesz ll for the Lions, while Mylnar of Sumner lled the individual scoring with 21 points. There was no preliminary game. Lions 41, Alumni 35 Former Bell maplemen turned on the heat and made the varsity sweat plenty for a 41 to 35 victory in the annual tussle between these traditional rivals. ' The contest brought back to ,Bellarmine such players as Jerry Healey, Bob Weaver, Pat Mailey, John Reed, Jim Bichsel and Vic Martineau, all of whom are form- er varsity lettermen. In a preliminary game, a loftier Stadium Soph team defeated the Bellarmine yearlings 43 to 11. Lions 34. Auburn 40 An Auburn team, out to revenge a previous 31-29 setback, managed to score three baskets in an over- time period to defeat the Lions 40 to 34, after Jack Hermsen had sunk a rebound shot to tie the score with but two seconds re- maining in the regular period. l w l l l 1 1 l w i 1 w Y 1 1 V fContinued Fourth Columnl , A general struggle with Schiesz 10, V l Sullivan 6 and Pitsch 5 taking part.

In the preliminary' game Dean and Farrell scored 11 and 10 points respectively to lead the Bellarmine Reserves to a 31 to 11 victory over the Auburn Subs. Lions 37, Clover Park 41 In a game played on the Clover Park floor the Lions dropped a close 41-37 verdict to the War- riors. Martineau and Hermsen were again high point men, each scoring 12 points for the Lions. Reynolds of Clover Park lead his team with 12 points. BELL BASKIJTEERS LOSE CITY GAME The Lions invaded the Stadium gym January 16 and were defeat- ed by the score of 34-24.'Weakened by the absence of Jack Hermsen the Bells missed their usual scor- ing punch. chuck Fam led the winners with 11 points and La- Verne Martineau scored 10 for the losers. Stadium led 7-4 in the first quar- ter and 20-13 at the half. The Stadium Sophs beat the Bell Sophs 35-24 in the preliminary.

SCI-IIESZ HIGH POINT MAN The Bellarmine Lions were on the smaller end of a 36-28 score in a game played on the Lincoln floor last Saturday evening. After a 4 to 4 tie in the first quarter, the Lincoln forces pulled ahead to a 19 to 12 lead at the halftime. Early in the third quarter the Railsplitters did the most damage by increasing their lead to 31 to 14 before the Lions connected with the hoop. Having found their shooting eye at last, the Bells be- gan to lessen the Lincoln lead. Led by Cliff Schiesz in this last quar- ter rally, Bellarmine cut the lead to 36-28 before the gun stopped the comeback. Cliff Schiesz and Jack Hermsen made 11 and 10 points respectively to lead the Lion attack, while Gene Sivertson, tall Lincoln center collected 18 points for the Abe forces.

In a few months many young men who are in their last semester of high school, will be eligible for the armed forces. For you men who have several months to help prepare for the coming day, you may ask how can I better myself and my coun- try? Let's do a little reviewing 'and make a synopsis. Have you taken any Math. or lscience? You say you havent had too much. All the branches of the Military Service use basic as well as all the more important scientific courses and every high school boy has an equal opportunity to learn their rudiments. Did you know that the govern- ment needs interpreters for use with our over-seas staffs and forces? This subject affords an excellent opportunity in civilian life to make a livelihood, as well as to aid all the lands which will need our guidance when peace is restored. If you have taken aeronautics and ROTC you are excellent ma- terial for enjoying a superiority in chances for advancement. Physical fitness is a requisite. When a person is physically fit lbs is in a good mental condition. 3 Religion is most necessary be- icause it brings the good in a man to its peak of efficiency, and he endeavors to emulate himself and ,others If you have had this training in 1Religion, Science and ROTC, you may be s1n'e you will be a success.

I Christmas comes lo a sad world this year, a World which is at war. Because of this, the true significance of Christmas may he understood the better. For if we reflect on the state of affairs, and realize that this is due in great part to the fact' that the World has deserted Christ, we must learn that Without Him and His principles of Christianity, there can he no true peace. He is the Prince of Peace, Let us, then, earnestly beseech Him to extend His loving reign over all lands and all peoples, that all may kneel at the crib and learn the lessons of the Christ Child. fRev.j Henry J.

The statue of Our Lady, over the altar, was surrounded with flowers and candles, and hymns in honor of the Queen of the Sodal- ity were sung by the students.

Announcement of the plan was made at an assembly at which the students were addressed, via radio, by Governor Arthur B. Langlie and by Mrs. Pearl Wana- maker, State Superintendent of Schools., Appointments are being made and Father J. Lynch is to be the adviser, it was revealed by Father Fink, Principal. Lieut. Col. Allan Johnson, who closed the assembly with a reading from a Father Lord's' pamphlet Salute to the Men in the Service, said, I con- sider it an absolute necessity that every student, not only of Bellar- mine, but of every school in Amer- ica, belong to this organization. 4'LION CHARTERED BY QUILL St SCROLL Word has been received that The Lion is now a duly chartered members of the Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary So- ciety, for High School journalists. Henceforth The Lion will be eligible for the many contests sponsored by the Society. Mr. Penna, S. J., faculty adviser, an- nounced that a Quill and Scroll chapter is to be started and candi- dates are being considered. No particular number of stu- dents is necessary to form the chapter as membership in Quill and Scroll is reserved for those qualified staff members of The Lion f who merit it by virtue of their talents, abilities and service records, and who in the opinion of the adviser, are most deserving of high journalistic recognition of their achievements.

The age-old story of Christmas once again unfolds before our eyes-a tale so sweet and simple that even the complexities of the time cannot hide nor tarnish its beauty. The tendency to consider this day a mere symbolism is to be regretted. For the vigor of this story has not been lost nor has the truth contained therein. The song of the Peace is as much for us today as it was to the shepherds of the fields. True, theirs was an age of peace, ours a gener- ation of war, but the world is always in the Era of Faith. After all, consider that war is but a manifestation of the ill-feeling present in the heart. Then surely could not this Nativity be the dawn of peace if men would but be of good will? Not in the laws of economics nor in the courts of man lie the secrets for world peace but in the funda- mental precept of brotherly love so beautifully demonstrated by the Son of God becoming our brother. Prepare the heart-then the soul cannot fail to answer the song of joy Gloria in excelsis Deo et in terra pax hominibus bonae volun- tatis. ' .Co-operation, Please! It is a source of no little wonder that serious co-operation of the boys with the school is lacking. The convenience of the day-time schedule is unprecedented, yet the abuse of this privilege is a cause for shame of all the students. The matter of which We write can certainly be laid squarely on the consciences of the students. If you aren't fazed by this, please consider your pride and the school record. Also, we think it timely to urge a display of sincerity in the Victory Corps program. This is our effort for victory, let it be no idle nor passing gesture. The schools of America can either be entering the threshold of new opportunities or merely passing to a new crisis. Let our lot be one of possibilities. Again we ask-co-operation, please!

What Is Dearer A message from the Secretary of the Treasury You all know that we are en- gaged in a war in which millions of men have already lost their lives, and more millions may be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice. We Americans abhor war. We are a peace loving people. But we fight because an unscrupu- lous and cruel enemy is trying to take from us something which we hold dearer than life itself. We fight for, yes, we are ready to' die for, our freedom. We are fighting against tyranny and for democracyg against bar- barism and for civilizationg against slavery and for freedom. And to- gether we will achieve our goal: Victory. Y The-Lion Published monthly during the school year by the students of Bellarmine High School, Tacoma, Wash. Subscription, 50 cents a year.

Of the group six are return- ing varsity lettermen and six re- serves. Larry Rask, Cliff Schiesz, LaVerne Martineau, Jack Herm- sen, Vern Morris and A1 Fairhurst are varsity lettermen and Jim O'- Farrell, Ray Sullivan, Peter Ste- foni, Ted Garitone, Dean Pitsch and Jim Fitzpatrick are reserve felt-winners. Charles Galbraith, Brooks Dean, John Carey, Vincent Beuzer, Rich. Simpson, Danny Stumpf, Dan Harkins and Lloyd Reed have made bids for the first five. year of sensational ball, while La Verne Martineau appears to be headed for a big year at forward. Dean Pitsch shows great improve- ment from last year and may team with Martineau on the first five. Jack I-Iermsen, ailing from a re- cent appendectomy, and Vern Morris, to be eligible at mid-year, will make strong bids forthe first team when they get back on the maple. The coach's biggest headache is height as few of his men reach six feet but he expects to overcome this deficiency with speed.

Congratulations, Larry. ll ll: 4' From pre-season observation this department is convinced that we, of Bellarmine, have one of the finest looking quintets in the history of the school. Many victories are in store for such a team. 4' 5 W News from Gonzaga U. tells us that Jimmie Moriarity is a basket- ball manager and Didi Rosellini a boxing manager. Both are former Bell students. i 1 15' It Mr. Kelley seems well pleased with the performance his players turned in recently, when the Lions played Federal Way. However, first team positions are still undecided as some players were limited to a few minutes of play due to previous sickness.

Sponsor Banquet The entire Bellarmine football squad will be the guests of the Tacoma Knights of Columbus at the Seattle Washington Athletic Club on Monday, December 14th. The banquet has become an an- nual affair thrcugh the generosity of the Knights, and the boys eagerly anticipate joining with Prep and O'Dea, who are sponsored by the Seattle Knights, on that gala occasion. In previous years, besides the most enjoyable dinner, the play- ers listened to many distinguished speakers, both civic and religious, and a gold watch was presented to the most inspirational player on each squad while souvenirs and golden memories were the reward of every player, manager and coach. It is 'only fitting that we should know more of our benefactors, the Knights of Columbus, consequent- ly, we introduce you to those Knights who have sponsored a boy thus far at the banquet.

V The planting of these trees was undertaken by Senior Room 2 and the students took time from their holiday to accomplish this. Although the original plan of completely surrounding the field was not carried out, it is hoped ,that with the help of succeeding Seniors it will be effected. 1 ' . Alumnus Writes Indicative of the spirit in which the Lion is received by the ser- vice alumni is clearly seen in a letter from Camp Hood, Texas. Dear Students: With regards to your copy re- questing the names of alumni in service, I am sending, with great pleasure, the addresses ,of all those whom I know. I consider it a wonderful endeavor on the part of Lion's staff to do this for the alumni in the service. And, wher- ever they may be, I'm'sure they will recollect the fond memories that the school paper will bring back to them. Many a time I've wondered how the athletic teams were making out. Now that I will be able to find out, I hope I'm not disap- pointed. But, win or lose, never stop fighting. Just as your alumni are fighting now, so that, that little red schoolhouse will always remain on the top of the hill. A Loyal Alumnus, THOMAS J. BASTROM.

The first read- ing of the side-splitting comedy Room Service was had two weeks ago and is now in rehearsal. When those concerned were looking for a suitable play for presentation, they hit the jack- pot when they chose Room Ser- vice. It is a fast moving comedy with something happening every moment. Pete Stefoni, a hard-boiled ho- tel inspector, will be providing many laughs in his role as Wagner. Jim Schuler, the hotel manager, will be trying to appease his rant- ings throughout. The sly-tongued producer, Jim Burkhouse, who gets into more scrapes than he can manage while Rich Simpson will be making his debut as a doc- tor who has his reputation and job at stake, The role of a simple but good-natured playwriter who comes to the big city to make good will be played by Jim Holt. And here we give you three guesses as to what Bill Van Rooy will portray. You are right again- it is a woman. These are but a few of the many who will take part in the big play of the season. Thanksgiving Message From Father Principal In everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, Ch. 4: V. 6 Saint Paul strikes the perfect keynote for Thanksgiving Day in this year of War, 1942. We would not dream of taking the Thanks out of the holiday, yet each of us must feel that the occasion this year calls loudly for something more, such as - PauI's urge to prayer and supplication. Our prayers, our supplications, with ever increasing fervor, should be directed towards Peace - a Christ-like Peace - for all the world. And the more we season these prayers with self-sacrifice and self-denial, whether the acts be purely voluntary or otherwise, the more efficacious shall our petitions become. Remember, God loves the cheerful giver! Thanks to Almighty God today, a million times over, for all the blessings He has vouchsafed us, as individuals, and our beloved country as a whole. We can show gratitude in no better way than by demon- strating in our daily lives, an active and practical assent to that noble counsel written by heroic Commander Shea of the ill-fated U.S.S. Wasp, in that now famous first-and-last letter to his young son: Be a good Catholic and you can't help being a good American. Bellarmine is reverently thankful today for her tangible proof of Commander Shea's statement, in the form of our Service Flag, with its star of gold, and the daily increasing number of stars of blue. For all brave hearts and true, dear Lord, we thank Thee, and beg Thee to keep them safe! Fr. L. B. Fink, S. J.

J., a former teacher here, entitled The Kind- argarten Kids was presented by the Dramatic Club. The assembly was closed by the song Three Little lVI2istersl, which thanked Coach Toner and his two assist- ants, Mr. Kelley, S. J., and Mr. Penna, S. J., for their work during ,the football season. Dean of Studies Visits Despite his recent illness, which necessitated his absence at the retreat, Father Mark Gaffney vis- ited Bellarmine in his capacity of Dean of Studies of the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus. During his week-long visit, Father Gaffney inspected the classes and lectured before dif- ferent clubs. On the final day of his stay, he addressed the as- sembled students on the subject of moral reconstruction.

Not few are the people who have rendered the significance of the holiday of Thanksgiving, a cause of commercialism. The senti- ment with which our founding fathers instituted the national ob- servance of this occasion swelled from their deep appreciation OI Divine Providence. Do we, who have been given the greatest gifts that God could devise, merely add another Deo Gratias to the chorus of the in- sincere? In the midst of wars and added sufferings of man's design there is still cause for the gratitude of all men. If we have suffered, then consider how much we have been spared. If we have been granted favors, consider how many there are in store for us. The innumerable graces of every-day existence can hardly be contemplated without evoking from us the emotion of gratitude. Consider them well and then truly will you enter into the Billilil A moans- Due to the fact that a fellow we know can't put more than eleven letters together at one time without hashing it up, and the fact that we wish to call a spade. a spade, Authors Anony- mous fand spell it right this timel is now officially rechristened Bel- larmoansf' for obvious reasons.

Scoring opened early in the first period with Spurgin catching Rask's 35-yard pass and running over from the ten. Farrell's kick was goodL The Lions recovered an Issaquah fumble early in the second quar- ter and a short drive was climaxed by a line smash with O Brien go- ing over, Farrell's kick was wide. Frequent fumbles kept the Issa- quah team deep in their own ter- ritory through most of the first half. In the third quarter a sustained drive climaxed when Jurun went over from the six but was called back' for an off-side. Then the Bells were held on downs. Issa- quah turned on the power and reached the Bell 30 when Jurun intercepted a pass and ran 86 yards unmolested. Farrell's kick was good. Everyone of the Lions saw ac- tion and this win bolstered the Lion psychology for the Seattle Prep game, since Issaquah ls a strong eleven in the Lakeside League. 6-0 VICTORY OVER The Bellarmine Reserves suf- fered defeat at the hands of the Lincoln Sophs by the score of 25-6. The little Abes, sparked by a back named Brooks, scored in all four quarters with Brooks, Kalopus and Milka reaching pay dirt. The Lions' lone score came when Biggs threw a long pass to Fitzpatrick in the 4th quarter. Center Jim McLoughlin turned in a stellar performance for the Bell defense. - STADIUM SOPHS The same Reserves met the Sta- dium Sophs and tasted a 6-0 vic- tory. The Little Lions rolled smoothly in the first quarter but the score did not come until late in the second quarter when Fitz- patrick threw a long pass to Felts in the end zone. , The rest of the game was fought on even terms except for a threat on the part of the Lions in the third quarter which died on the 5 yard line. ion Tracks . . . .- With football season over, there's nothing left for the gridsters to do but hang up their uniformsg some just for the season, others for life. To those who are issued new uniforms in Uncle Sam's team we extend our heartiest congratulations. We are sure that you will fight just as hard and remain just as loyal on this new team, as you were for the Blue and White. The team really appreciates the work the managers have rendered during the past season. That ducking in the showers was merely to keep them fresh for next year. V Rumor has it that Mr. Kelley is the new basketball coach. His frequent visits to the gym during the past few nights seem to verify this rumor, And so let us be the first to congratulate the new coach. Lions Wind Up 5 .Season With Win The Bellarmine Lions ended a- successful season by defeating their Seattle rivals 13-0. The Lions opened the game by kicking to Prep and then gained possession of the ball on a Panther punt. The Bells then showed an outburst of power that netted two first downs before they were forced to kick. The remainder of the first half was then fought on even terms with Prep slightly domin- ating the offensive. In the third quarter the Lions were strictly on the offensive and marched deep into Panther ter- ritory before the quarter ended. After an exchange of punts early in the fourth quarter, the Bells unleashed their famous Double Pass. Jurun took the ball from center and threw a pass to Rask toward the right sideline. Rask then discharged a long bul- let to Spurgin who crossed the goal line unmolested. Farrell place- kicked the extra point, Still later in the quarter the Lions marched to the Prep 11 yard line where Sp1u'gin scored on an end around play. Minutes later the gun ended the game with the score remaining 13-0. , pppp W RESERVE FOOTBALL TEAM V' Front row lleft to rightl: Walt.

During his brief stay Mr. Penna met the editor of the Portland Oregonian and invited him to ad- dress the students on the field of journalism. The urgency of his business makes such a visit im- possible at present. Since the reports were favor- able, Mr. Penna has returned to his teaching tasks and the stren- uous duties of Lion adviser. ' Alumni Mailed Lion At the suggestion of the Phil- omathea Club, the Lion is now being mailed to the Bellarminc Alumni in the armed forces, The mailing list is daily growing as addresses in all parts of the na- tion are received.

Quarter Honors fContinued From Page li In order to qualify for the honor roll, a student must have a straight A average with the exception of a possible B. ' The revival of the honor roll has proven to be an added in- centive for serious work on the part of the students. Those who gained the coveted positions are to be congratulated and are urged to keep up the ex- cellent work. Philomathea Sponsors School Get-Togethern In the policy of closer co-oper- ation and greater acquaintance between faculty and parents, the Philomathea Club recently spon- sored a Get-together of these groups in the school gymnasium. Also present were the students. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the letters to the Varsity football squad. The entertainment was provided by games planned by Mrs. L. L. Bis- sell, Mrs. A. C. Conner, Mrs. Harry Griewe. The refreshment committee was headed by Mrs. John Skupeng and assisting at the games were Mr. A. C. Conner and Mr. E. J. Enright. In charge of publicity was Mrs. H. C. Harri- gan. Government Plan Adopted for Students Inaugurated this fall is a pro- gram of physical training for stu- dents ln answer to the request of leaders of the armed forces. The training is being conducted, in the Freshmen classes, under the supervision of Mr. Kelley, S. J., and Mr. Penna, S. J., capable and qualified instructors. The program is divided between calls- thenics and intra-mural activities. The gymnasium serves for indoor activity and the athletic field for the sports competition. In the other year groups, the exercises are conducted under the direction of the R.O.T.C. officers. CYCLERS BAND During the past months a bi- cycle club has appeared at Bel- larmine. Although at present freshmen hold priorities on mem- bership, some upperclassmen have signified a desire to join. Two trips have been successfully taken, one to American Lake, the other to Gig Harbor. These ex- cursions occur every other week on Saturdays. The day may have to be moved to Sunday to accommo- date the holiday laborers, or if necessary, two divisions may be formed. As officers for the semester, the club chose William Kropf, presi- dent, Henry Hellencamp, vice- president and Richard James, sec- treasurer. Mr. Bauer, is moderator ,and accompanies the club on its Q bike-hikes. Bells Build Planes If Bell students prove apt pilots in later years, much credit must be given to the Aeronautics Class conducted by Mr. J, Thatcher, S. J. In addition to the study of the principles of the science, the class is active in the construction of model airplanes. The latest models, such as the P-39, Aerabonita and Douglas Dauntless, are a few of the ships on which the planes are modeled. The many films and motors at the disposal of the students makes this class one of the best equipped Aeronautics coiuses in the state of Washington. Buy a Bond Today Want to help to keep 'em soaring?

George Washington in his famous Farewell Address reminded Americans that in all ages religion is the mainstay of righteous govern- ments. That policyhas been maintained, perhaps nominally at times, through the years the United States has existed as a nati Il. o It is far from our intention to accuse America of hypochrisy but in this we wonder. In the October 19 issue of Life this American maga- zine tries, under the guise of cold analysis to criticize the effect of the Catholic Church upon the people of Quebec. Time in an article makes certain sarcastic remarks in to the corrupt Irish Catholic Bostonians as if the terms reference are in- separable. These are the same periodicals which are quick to grasp the significant good of atheistic communism. Now these magazines are proud of their heritage of the American Way, -yet they seek to undermine what the Father of his Country termed a mainstay of governments. If an individual betrays his country, he is denounced but these sheets are allowed to continue their efforts to destroy the foundation. It seems very strange, not without cause do We wonder. Thumbs Up! They stand in the midst of a bloody war. Their people dying by the score The bombs fall 'round, but still they cry, Thumbs up, old chap, we'll do or die! Their homes are smashed, their families gone, But they smile and greet it with this song, There'll always be an England! That's the song they sing. That song goes echoing through the world, to pauper an The soldier, air raid warden, the worker and marine, d to king, The sailor, child and mother, the king and lovely queen. They all stand together, in the air, in the seas below To meet the common menace, to meet the deadly foe. J. HOLT.

Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury War is costly, but freedom is priceless. To deserve freedom, we must fight to keep it. Freedom is a thousand times worth all the money ,all the effort, all the sac- rifices that we must put into the struggle to win it. I know that the United States can count on its whom an unshackled future 30,000,000 young Americans, to whom an unshackled future is par- ticularly important, to enlist 100 per cent in our fight for freedom -by buying War Savings Stamps and Bonds whenever they can and by doing every other thing that a boy or girl can do to speed the day of Victory. By participating fully in this SCHOOLS AT WAR Program, they can tell the world: 'WE ARE READY-ready for war, ready for victory and ready for peace'. Henry Morgenthau, Jr, PIUTHQBS 311011 YIIIDUS Aw, Fatheryf and another hap- py donation adds to the capital of Father Peter Baltussen's Alaskan Mission Fund. This fund is the place where Bell boys, who work off excess energy in the halls, get rid of the excess shekel. Contri- butions run from a nickle for monkeying around in the corridors and up. The Up is reserved for habitual criminals who are usually happy to double the amount. Fr. Baltussen started out to buy some things for the Jesuit Missionaries in Alaska, but at the rate he is travelling now, he will soon be able to buy Alaska.

A plan for making available to the members of the R.Ol.T.C. a shoulder insignia was recently adopted. In the regular army this insignia denotes the division or corps to which the individual is attached. Appropriately, there- fore, the new insignia bears the torch emblem of R.O.T.C. in red to show that it is the Junior Corps. This torch is super-imposed on a white block B which in turn is mounted on a blue shield. In accordance with military regu- lations this emblem will be worn on the left sleeve two inches be- low the seam. At present the Corps of Cadets is studying the discipline and cour- tesy which is taken to be a part of the well-trained soldier. Such things as respect for the flag and superior officers are being learned. The object of this instruction is not just to teach the boys how to act while in uniform but also to make them more conscious of their conduct under all circumstances. It is strongly to be desired that this training will prove useful to all members of the Corps. - . Erck: If I stood on my head all the blood would flow to it, wouldn't it.

Bells Trample Clover Park After having been defeated by Clover Park for the past two sea- sons, the Bellarmine gridsters loosened their fury and conquered the Warriors by a 13 to 12 mar- gin. The Lions opened the scoring in the second quarter with Rask going around right end- for the touchdown. Jim Farrell kicked the extra point. ' The third quarter found Clover Park deep in Bellarmine's terri- tory. The Lions held for three downs on the two yard line, but a quick pass enabled the warriors to score. Try for point was unsuc- cessful. Again in the fourth quar- ter the Warriors pushed the ball across the goal but again failed to tally the extra point. With but two minutes to go the Bells opened an attack with Spur- gin scoring on a long pass from Rask. Farrell's kick was blocked but the Lions were ahead 13 to 12 as the game ended. Reminicsing Thus far this season thevarsity has played against some of the toughest co-mpetition this side of the Cascades, U. of W. omitted.

Lion Tracks . . . .- By Jim 0'Brien Up from the ranks of the ninety odd freshmen comes a football team that we of Bellarmine should be proud to acknowledge. Just the other day the little cubs thoroughly drubbed a Holy Rosary team by the score 42 to 0. The Varsity is still displaying the traditional fight so characteristic of Lion Elevens! Nice work, fellas! Hats off to Joe Raquer-a loyal Bell Alumnus, Joe is always ready to assist wherever he can and he hasn't missed a game. We hear that Bell Alurns-Chuck Cowan and Vic Martineau-are doing okay out C. P. S. way. STADIUM TURNS BACK LIONS The Stadium Tigers, after being held 7-7 up to the half, put on all the power they had to down a stubborn Bellarmine eleven in the annual game 'between the two ri- vals. The Bengals started the scoring in the first quarter but the Bells came back with their famous Double Pass and tied the score a few plays later. The third quarter opened with the score still tied 7-7. The Lions kicked to the Bengals but a fum- ble was recovered by the Bells on the Tigers 18 yard line, which put Bellarmine in a scoring position. However, a pass interception start- ed Stadium on a touchdown march which made the score 13-7. Again in the fourth quarter the Tigers started another touchdown march which was climaxed with Jacobson going over, making the final score 20 to 7. BEAT SEATTLE PREP OQDEA EDGES LIONS With a touchdown in the dying seconds of the game the O'Dea Irish managed to defeat the Bells by a score of 13 to 6. The Bells just missed a score in the first minutes by recovering a fumble on the Irish 20 yard line. However, they lost the ball on downs. In the second quarter suc- cessive passes from Rask to Spin'- gin set the Bells on the O'Dea 5 yard line and then Rask ran ac- ross for the first score. The pass for the extra point was incomplete. Bell de- Meyers, Irish to run for Late in ' In the third quarter the tenses weakened and Vic O'Dea's fullback, lead the a third quarter score. A the extra point was short. 1 the fourth quarter the Irish, again 'led by Meyers, went across in the final seconds. The pass for the extra point was good. ARMISTICE DAY GAME The game with Seattle Prep will be played at Civic Field. Seattle, on November llth. Bells Nip Auburn Following two previous setbacks by Olympia and Lincoln, the Lions came forth to defeat a determined Auburn team at Auburn to the tune of six to nothing. Failing to score in several earlier attempts, the Lions were held scoreless for the first three peri- ods. But not to be denied, the Bells opened up with a combined at- tack of passes and crushing line plays which advanced the .ball to the Trojan three yard line. In two plays Rask, Bell captain, carried it over for the only tally of the game. Schiesz's attempted conver- sion was wide. LINCOLN FALLS Recently the high powered Re- serves outplayed a heavier Lin- coln Reserve team. In the second quarter Dean Biggs smashed through the Lin- coln defense for eight yards and a touchdown. In the third quarter, after a succession of well-executed plays, Archibald carried the ball across the goal for the second and final score of the game which ended 13 to 0. Linemen figuring prominently in the games thus far include Schultz, Knelleken, Peterson, Bischel and McLaughlin, while in the backfield Biggs is the main ground gainer with Muldrieg, Archbald and Greco adding offensive punch. Fitzpatrick has been doing fine work in the aerial department.

Roberts Hall at Sixth Avenue. 1 Volume 19, No. 1 ' BELLARMINE HIGH SCHOOL, TACOMA, WASHINGTON October, 194? FACULTY Sz STUDENTS, ELCOM HOLD NOVENA Former Bellarmine teachers, and now newly-ordained Priests, Frs. Borbeck, S.J., Earl, S.J., and Land, S. J., made a special novena of Masses between the feasts of Our Lady of Snows iAug. 57 and feast of Assumption tAug. 159 for the safety of Bellarmine boys in the armed forces. Other teachers who had been at Bellarmine joined in the Novena, held at Alma College, Alma, Cali- fornia. An interesting note was the 'dedication of these services to Our Lady of Victory. The faculty and students of Bellarmine express their sincere appreciation to those Fathers and scholastics, who of- fered their Masses for the welfare of Bellarmine boys in the service of their country. I .mimi-J Record Enrollment , In announcing the figures of the enrollment, it was found that a record attendance of 276 pupils had been reached. Leading group are the Freshmen with 97 students. Adding to the difficulties of this enrollment is' the new schedule of six periods and the introduction of anew subject, aeronautics, which ,is being conducted by Mr. Thatch- er, S.J., for Juniors and Seniors. ROTC Head Promoted Sgt. Frank A, Villaescusa, assis- tant to Lt. Col. Allen Johnson, professor 'of military science and tactics at Bellarmine, has been promoted to the rank of staff ser- geant. ' Staff Sergeant Villaescusa has been instructor in Be1larmine's R. O. T. C. unit since its organiza- tion in 1935, and has developed a crack corps of which Bellarmine is justly proud. He was born in San Diego in 19063 enlisted in 19283 served a short time at Fort MacArthur, lContinued from Page 41 Students Elect Yell Leaders Inaugurating the first official assembly of the current year and of the term, student body Presi- dent Al Fairhurst conducted the annual yell election.

The advent of a new scholastic year has brought with it a new principal and five new faculty members to Bellarmine High School. Father L. Fink, S. J., the new principal, was head of Mar- ,quette High School in Yakima, Washington, for a, number of year previous to his arrival here, Among the faculty members are Mr. Koehler, who has returned af- ter one year's absence. The two new scholastics are: Mr. J. Bauer, who is teaching Latin and His- tory, and Mr. S. D. Penna, who is the new Lion moderator aside from teaching all the commercial sub- jects. Also being welcomed are Fr. J. Stack, teacher of religion, and Fr. J. Logan, Greek and Religion. Provincial Addresses Assembly Mention the name of Father Leopold J. Robinson to a Bellar- mine student body and you will immediately summon recollections of one of the most enjoyable talks presented to a. student body. As Provincial of the Oregon Province he came to begin an ac- lquaintance which will 'not end soon. By an adept knowledge of sign language and a deft wit he gained complete mastery over the student body. Father Robinson granted a holi- day upon presentation of the re- quest by the Student Body Presi- dent A1 Fairhurst. PAGE TWO gg TH E LION OCTOBER, 1942 WELCOME Not only for the sake of formality do we welcome new students and faculty members but because of the sincere hope we hold that you will take the places vacated by others. Ours are pleasant memories of past students and teachers and it is for you to take up, now that they are no longer with us. We remind the new students of our traditionsiof loyalty which they just take on if they are to be real Bellarmine Students. We want you new students to join our clubs, our activities and to show your enthusiasm for everything under- taken by the school. If you do this, then our welcome will mean more than a courteous word. LET,S KEEP THE CAMPUS CLEAN As every one knows most of the men are leaving their former jobs and rushing to the higher paid defense industries. The situation at the present is serious, with schools and business houses undermanned, and so it is with Bellarmine. The former caretakers are no longer here to do the work so if you can, help the school have a neat ap- pearance by keeping rubbish off things: remember your pride. our campus.

What seemed like a million up- turned faces greeted us at the door ,Tuesday, Sept- 8. After building ships all summer, Bell's boys came on back to git some book-larnin and got their scalps full of frosh. I will not lower myself to re- peat some of the upperclassmen's remarks concerning our little friends when the latter pushed the former into the cold gray halls. Yes, and there they stood mur- murinl Then cometh ye solution. Ye principal, after chewing ye brass knuckles to ribbons, hit on a solu- tion. Since there are about as many fellows taking a study hall as there are big-hearted Japs, that venerable hall was pressed into service. The end of the story finds large numbers of fellows being ex- posed to the wisdom of the ages in that half-empty room, which, due to its emptiness, makes every- thing heard twice . . . and in Latin class, it's murder. YE MONTHLY FANFARE This monthly fanfare goes to our new principal, Fr. L. Fink, who juggled wartime classes so skillfully that he Was nearly booked for two weeks at the Or- pheum.

ROTC NEWS Less than five months ago for some of us, a few years for others, eventual military training was given little thought. The problem of training men to be soldiers was not our worry. . Due to the foresight of those grown-ups we have a Reserve Of- ficers' Training Corps at Bellar- mine, one of the two in the state. The R. O. T. C. is a. unit which teaches the preliminary training of a soldier. Not only does it train us in military science and tactics, but it also upholds the discipline which is maintained in all Jesuit schools. It is a stepping stone, a solid stepping stone, to the military future which seems imminent for some of us. Either military or civil- ian, Bel1armine's students should be proud of the chance which it affords them, because those ideals which are taught in the R. '.O. T. C. will be invaluable to us through- out life. 'Members of the R. 0. T. C. have been given capable leaders and in- structors, and it should be the duty of each one to take advan- tage of this splendid opportunity. Because of the present-wartime conditions, the necessity of mili- tary training is being stressed in high schools, and Freshmen who are of R .O. T. C. age have been al- lowed to take this course at Bel- larmine. The R. O. T. C. has over 170 members this year and with their cooperation will receive pub- lic recognition as it has in other years. Oh, Jesus, through the Im- maculate Heart of Mary, what an impressive sight to see such large numbers of boys in their uni- forms, reciting their morning of- fering, and saluting the flag of their country!

The members of the squad cannot fly a bomber into the interior of the axis stronghold, but that does not prevent them from scoring many and powerful direct hits each day. Since Phil Brown, talented senior and scrappy guard on the varsity squad, painted the figures of Hitler and Hirohito on the blocking dummy that dummy for should we say, 'those dummies? has been flying high and each member of the squad puts out in order to 'keep 'em'flying'. Mr. Toner, S. J. New Coach Following the enlistment of Coach Andy Slatt into the United States Marine Corps, Bellarmine was once again left without an athletic coach. Mr. G. Toner, our athletic director, sought desperate- ly for a successor but due to the draft and the dearth of can- didates his quest was futile. Thus being unsuccessful and with a little encouragement, Mr. Toner, in a very desperate mood, decided to guide Slatt's .team through the '42 season. Choosing Mr. J. Kelley, former reserve mentor, as his as- sistant, and Mr. S. D. Penna, S. J., a capable newcomer to Bellar- mine, as medical adviser, Mr. To- ner now has his coaching staff. Under the careful guidance of Coach Andy, who keeps in con- tact with him from the Marine Base, San Diego, Calif., Mr. To- ner has been drilling his squad nightly and has more than proved his aptitude as a coach. The students of Bellarmine wish him all the luck during his first grid season as Coach. Football Schedule Olympia, there .,...,...,.. Sept. 8, Lincoln at Stadium Sept. 25, Auburn, there ............

L. Hats off to Mr. Toner who assumed the position of head coach this fall. This new position plus handling the job of Athletic Director puts a heavy burden on our new Coach who is doing a splendid job. To the Asst. Coach Mr. Kelley, we wish to give a hearty thank you and to congratulate him on his able assistance to the team. The rooting section of Bellarmine should be heard far and wide this year- with such an enthusiastic student body and notable yell leaders as Fitzpatrick, Morris and Lombardi leading the cheers. There will be no shortage in this department. The Varsity is mighty good this year and from the looks of the team's spirit, there should be many victories in store. LIONS JUST Miss TAKING OLYMPIA The fighting Lions opened their grid season this year by dropping a close 7 to 6 verdict to the Olym- pia Bears. Olympia, boasting a heavy team, scored via the pass route early in the third quarter. 'Iry for point was unsuccessful, but an overanxious Lion was off side, giv- ing the Bears a second try in which they succeeded in scoring the extra point. The ever fighting Bells then opened their aerial circus with Cliff Schiesz climaxing the aerial bombardment by throwing a long pass to Larry Rask who then trot- ted safely across the goal line. The Lion rally, however, was stopped short when a pass for the extra point fell incomplete in the end zone. Six Lettermen Return Upholding the tradition of past seasons the Reserves, under the watchful eye of Mr. Boyle, held their inaugural practice with a record turnout. From all indications the little Lions should have a highly satis- factory season with such an ex- perienced group of returning let- termen and such a husky assem- bly of newcomers. Returning lettermen include Bichsel, Loonam, Erck, McGoffin, and Cassedy on the line, and Fitzpatrick in the backfield. Dean Biggs, a husky backfield man, and Vernon Morris, also a hard hitting ball packer, look very promising in the turnouts thus far. Arrangements are now being made to obtain a full schedule for the Reserves. LINCOLN BEATS BELLARMINE, 14+-0 Friday afternoon witnessed one of the most colorful games ever played in the rivalry between Lin- coln and Bellarmine High Schools. The game was loaded with sur- prises from start to finish. While the Bells showed a remarkable strength in their forward wall, the Lynx displayed a brilliant aerial attack to equalize and even surpass the Lion defense. The first quarter was played on even terms, with the Lions re- ceiving the kick-off. After several exchanges of punts in the second quarter, Lincoln opened a passing attack led by Bud Clausin, diminutive Lincoln halfback, which led to their first touchdown. Try for point was also successful via the place kick route. The second half opened similar to the first with both teams play- ing fairly even ball. But the fourth quarter saw Lincoln again open their passing attack with Clausin again throwing the touchdown pass- Then with Larry Rask throwing passes from all angles, the Lions started to march. The flying wedge and double passes clicked with clocklike precision until a Lincoln interception ended the touchdown march. Knecht played a bang-up game at guard and Hermsen displayed unsuspect- ed talent at the end berth, while in the backfield Gallwas' kicking and R.ask's passing and running were outstanding. PAGE FOUR ' THEN LION OCTOBER, 1942 ANNUAL MASS AT ST. LEO'S , On Sept. 23, the students of Bellarmine High School and of St. Leo's High School attended the annual Solemn High Mass at the Church of St. Leo the Great. Those officiating at the Mass were: Fr. Schultheis, celebrantg Fr. Logan, deacon: Mr. Boyle, sub- deacon, and Mr. Toner, master of ceremonies. Fr. Lynch delivered a sermon stressing the importance of Catholic education, and of prayer to the Holy Ghost for the victory of our nation. Members of Bellarmine's R.. 0. T. C. unit attended in uniform and the officers served as ushers. Music was furnished by the St. Leo's Girls Choir. Philomathea Celebrates Anniversary , H . The Phllomathea club is cele- brating its 21st anniversary of ac- tive participation in the affairs of Bellarmine, this year. For the past twenty-one years it has de- voted all of its efforts to the help- ing of the school and of its inter- ests, as it will continue to do this year. The organization is made up en- tirely-of the mothers of Bellar- mine boys and for that reason it is interested in the affairs of the school. Also, a record membership is expected. this year because' of the increase in the Freshman en- rollment. Mrs. A. B. Comfort will head the mothers of Philomathea this year in their many and varied ac- tivities- All the members of the club' .are looking forward to' a. most successful year. ROTC HEAD PROMOITED lContinued from Page 11 I San Pedro, Californiag was trans- ferred to 'Fort Lewis, where he served with the Tenth Field Ar- tillery until 1935.' During his seven years at -Bell- armine, Staff Sergeant Villqae- scusa has deservedly won the ad- miration and respect of each R.. 0. T. C. group. The faculty and student body ,congratulate him on his promotion and express their sincere appreciationuof the excel- lent work he is doing atVBellar- mine- ' MR. PENNA MR. BAUER Knights to Elect Beginning its third year of ac- tivity, the Bellarmine Knights are soon to elect the officers for. the coming term. ' This honorary society was founded under the auspices of Mr. G. Toner, S. J., and membership is merited by scholastic standing and loyalty to the school. Because of the reduced membership, due to graduation, nominations of new candidates are soon to be revealed and the new members pledged at a public assembly. Freshman Tells All Since the excitement and noise of school reopening had subsid- ed and ordinary school days had come again, the freshmen have had a' good chance to find out what Bellarmine is really like.lAf- ter meeting most of the faculty members and quite a number of the students, we decided that it was the Tops It seemed to get better with each passing day. By that time we all knew that we'd enjoy it here for the next four years or more. For a really personal opinion ask Freckles Tom Flood of Room 6. There's a rumor floating around that, upon reaching home from school, Freckles told his mother what he thought of Bellarmine, ending it something like this: Mom, I'm a 'man' now and I want you to keep that in mind. From now on shouldn't Patty carry in the wood? According to the latest reports Tom still carries in the wood! l A 1 ' o. Glassy, Room 6. Rifle Team to Begin Season In spite of the fact that five rifle-team lettermen were lost through graduation last spring, the prospects for the coming year are quite hopeful. The four re- t1u'ning lettermen are Joe Mijich, Mike Jayko, Don Spurgin and Bob McCaffrey. No meetingshave been called as yet because of the scarcity of am- munition. Although there is a general shortage throughout the city, Mr. J. Thatcher, S.J., coach of the team, believes he will be able to obtain ammunition in the near future. Those freshmen and other new entrants in the school who wish to join the Rifle Club and try out for a position on the team are re- quested 'to contact Mr. Thatcher. V4 New Schools Open This Year This September these United States saw the opening of four new Jesuit schools, another cog in the wheels of progressive and liberal education. They were as follows: The University of Scran- ton, Scranton, Pa-, formerly con- ducted ,by the Christian Brothers: Jesuit High School, located at Dallas in the Lone Star Stateg Cheverus High School, at Port- land, Me.: and finally Fairfield College Prep, situated in Fairfield, Conn. It is hoped that all four will be as creditable as their sister schools throughout the country have proven themselves in their efforts to forward the youth's knowledge of 'the fine arts and his preparation for college. p Community Chest Film Is Presented Mrs. A. D. Comfort, President of the Bellarmlne Philomathea Club, presented to the student body, un- der the auspices of the Tacoma Community Chest, a film of the city's health, housing, and the ex- penditure of the Chest's fimds. The picture, relating the un- sanitary health conditions of our city, ,shocked the students with a. vivid realization of the serious problem of sanitation confronting Tacoma. Due to the workers in the city, conditions will continue to grow more perilous until adequate housing facilities are constructedi The USO a vital part of the Community Chest work, was fully expressed in the film. 9' ' ' 'A 'A 'A 'A'A' ' 'A ' ' 'A'A' A 'A'A'A'A it li If your car doesn't start, call us 1: 4 for road service! 1 IE TUNE Ur WHEELS -VALVE damn if 3: BRAKES - GENERATORS REBORING 1' 1: HEADLIGHTS STARTERS BODY WORK :Q WINDSHIELDS Moron ' PAINTING 1+ 11 1+ 'I la In 11 qs 1 1 ts 'C ls gentet tteet etvice Center 8 Eye Mike rem U 1 lr 11 'C 'r lr 1+ If s 11 l 1+ u 'L 1 5 1 5 1 l 'r El ar,-.-,.,-.-.-.-.-.-.-,-.-.1...,...,.,...,.,.,,A....Y.,., ...A - ., - - - Autographs Blank Page +..
