PAGE SIX T H E L I 0 N MARCH, 1943 Aquinas, St. Leo's and Bell Students PreSSQC011fe1'e11CG View Ideal Boyvg Varied Opinions Pla11SlF0rm11lated Spring's arrival is generally noted by two appearances: the crocus and the Ideal Boy contest. 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. Bells Join War Service lContinued from page ll To date those who have joined to help conserve Washington State forests include Adler, Archbold, Cramer, Graisy, Grubisa, Harri- 4 Jack Huston who emerged first place winner in the city finals of the Ora- torical Contest and second in the county finals. 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.

MARCH, 1943 THE LION PAGE FIVE Scrappy Bell Team Downs Stadium Quint The fighting Bells again brought grief to the Stadium Tigers in the form of a 41-39 defeat on the Sta- dium maples. 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.

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.
