95? 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. Mulderig and Dan Harkins. into a defense job or uniformed for the military services. Some thought should be given to the future when there will be need of trained professional men, doctors, lawyers, scientists of every line, skilled executives, men of litera- ture and the arts: NOT PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO PULL A LEVER BUT HOW TO DESIGN ON'Eg NOT PEOPLE WHO CAN PULL A 'TRIGGER, BUT WHO CAN MANIPULATE THE DIFFI- CULT MECHANISM OF CHRIS- TIAN DEMOCRACY. fContinued on Page 43 Bonds and Stamps Bought b tudents Total 21,048.55 With no catchword projects or jeep purchases to Luge them on but only an appeal to their patriotism, Bellarmine students have accumu- lated the amazing sum of 321,048.55 in War Savings Bonds and Stamps. These figures compiled recently by Fr. P. Baltussen, S. J., further re- Twenty-seven Try Out For Elocution Meet March 26th saw the completion of the semi-finals of the Junior elocution contest. The competition was strong with eight sophomores and nineteen freshmen taking part. John Comfort, Jim Holt and Ed Graisy ofthe sophs and Bob Clo- quet, Stan Fairhurst and Tom Handley of the frosh were victor- ious in the semi-finals. The above six will compete again for top honors and the gold ring, April 11, in St. Leo's Auditorium. Others who took part were Bob Erickson, Bill Brady, Jim Henriot, Ed. Archbold and Jim McGoffin of the sophomores: Joe Oswald, Gail McFarland, Ron Zerbel, Jack Tschida, Bob Pavolka, Don Ver- halen, John McDonough, Bob O'- Larey and Jerome Patnode, fresh- men. The three judges were Fr. Logan, Mr. Penna and Mrs. Norma Zenk- er. NOTE OF THANKS TO OLD LION STAFF On bended knee, I pleadedg with gasps of sorrow clogging my throat, I beggedg with eyes swim- ming in tears yet filled with hate, I threatenedg finally Mr. Toner relented and that's how I got my copy of the Lion. I scanned the front page, noting a few items of interestg I hurriedly read the numerous articles on the inner pages and sighed. and wept as the situation afforded. I doubled with laughter and thrilled at the masterpieces etched by a writer's pen. I finished reading the articles but, as do all others, I forgot an important thing. I forgot the un- selfish work and pains borne by those who yielded their precious time and effort so that we could enjoy our edition of the Lion, I forgot to read the names in the mast, containing the names of a number of prominent seniors. Fred Schlatter's name led the list as editor and main cog of our school paper. His efficiency and versatility in writing will be a fContinued on Page 43 vealed that a quota of S85 per ,student had been realized: the highest individual sum for any student group of the Tacoma schools. 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.
