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! Why worry if Gideon Gangrene, after nineteen years, has not stopped courting poor little Rebecca Glibbentrop, presented through the courtesy 'of Mother Garfinckle's drawn, slain and quartered spaghetti-the only spaghetti with original blood on it. Don't trouble yourself over the report that John's Other Wife has met another man, starring Sophie Glutts. Life Can Be Beautiful but only over the script writer's dead body. Seriously, the moral is: why not put your early morning radio habit to good use by tuning in to the Sacred Heart Program. The perfect beginning of the day will insure its success. 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 Sarg has proven himself a model for young men. We're going to miss him. CARRION EXCHANGE Br. Cunningham: What's a liter- ary aspirant?

Baum - , moans It has just been reported that Pete Stefoni, prominent Junior, has just been seen coming to school on time! This, however, is but a rumor, and there is no confirma- tion from informed sources. POLI'I'ICAL NOTICES.

He has ripped up eight square feet of the Physics lab floor-Will Zerbel be more careful the next time he lays his caucus on the floor?-Seats in this august place are hard to get- Can somebody put a ceiling price on a certain freshman's ego? It looks like inflation-of the head -call the OPA! Yeah, and Faker had better see the ration board about some No. 17 coupons-run- ning around with his bare sox hanging out after losing his shoes. Well, freshmen are that way, aren't we? BUT- Speaking of popularity contests, we saw Dick Bannon trying to run a popular girl contest at the Barn Dance. He kept trying to get some company and to inspect the shrine. I didn't think you could see it at 11:00 p. m.-or-how about Gene Lombardi and Dean Pitsch, sweeping the halls because they were indulging in their fav- orite sport inf the Lion room-or Jim Burkehouse and Cliff Schiesz, authographing their football pho- tos for their favorite fans-We might also talk about Danny Dan- forth, who is the sweetest boy.

Loonam, Hu ton, artineau to Head Staii' Sgt. Villaescusa Replaced Here By Cpl. Douglas After seven and a half years of! service with the ROTC at Bellar- mine Staff Sergt. Frank Villaes- cusa has been called to active service and has been replaced by Corporal Douglas. The Sergeant CPL. DOUGLAS had been contemplating return- ing to active service and on De- cember 21 received orders an- nouncing! the intention of .the authorities to transfer him. The students and faculty have given him a send-off to remember. The Cadet Officers of the corps held a banquet in his honor Feb- ruary 18, attended by the faculty, Military department, and battalion officers. An assembly was held in his honor at a later date. After hear- ing a few words from Lieut. Col. Johnson, Corporal Douglas, and Col. Jones, the Corps area inspec- tor, Fr. H. Schultheis awarded the Sergeant the Bellarmine Loyalty ring. The Loyalty ring has been awarded to only one other person not a student of Bellarmine, Major Warren who came with the Ser- geant as P.M.S. 85 T. corporal Douglas who replaces the Sergeant first enlisted in the army in 1937 and served in the in- fantry at Schofield Barracks, T. H. until 1939. He was drafted in July 1941 and after serving in several places was appointed to the post here.' Fr. J. Logan Announces Baseball Turnout Monday. Jr. Elocution Tryout Soon L08 VOL. 19, No. 7 MARCH, 1943 BELLARMINE HIGH SCHOOL Bob M cDonou,gh Most Popular Boy McDonough Wins Election by Close Margin Stefoni ls Second, Lombardi Third Place Name Club for Jesuit Author Quill and Scroll members this week are announcing the designa- tion of their club as the David P. lMcAstocker chapter of this hon- orary society. 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. 'S' BOB MCDONOUGH In a very close election last week, Bob McDonough, Class of '43 was chosen as Bellarmine's most popu- lar boy. Running in second and third places were Pete Stefoni, '44 and Gene Lombardi, '43. In a hard fought contest, the candidates' campaign managers figured in pub- licity campaigns which culminated in the introduction of the candi- dates to the Student Body. '5' Appointments Also Announced For Coming Year In a contest involving a. very difficult choice from the many qualified Juniors, Bernard Loonam has emerged editor of the Lion for the coming year. As his as- sociates are Vince Beuzer and Jim Holt. Heading the feature depart- ment will be versatile Jack Huston and his assistant Jim Henriot. La Verne Martineau is to serve as Sports Editor with Jim McGoffin and Ed. Graisy as his associates. The many duties of the circulation department will be 'carried out by Jack Erck and Frank Taylor and as Librarian and Exchange Editor Jim Donovan and Jerry Driscoll. Reporters: John Comfort, Pete Stefoni, Louie Renner, Oliver Glassy, Bill Van Rooy and Bob Breskovich. Dick Patten will be ad manager. BELL JR. 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
