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. Senior Leaves for Jesuit Orderg Two Juniors Join the 'Service TED MARCHESINI Philomathea to Honor Mothers of Alumni Honoring the mothers 'of Bel- larmine alumni who are now in the armed forces, Mothers' Club is in their honor monthly meeting February 9. Details for the afternoon pro- gram are under the direction of Lt. Col. Allan Johnson and Staff Sgt. Villaescusa, who promise a worth-while entertainment. g The club through its president, Mrs. A. B. Comfort, and the fac- ulty, through the Rector, Fr. H. Schultheis, S. J., extend an ln- vitation to all friends of the school and particularly to the mothers of alumni who are now in the serv- ice of their country. The incon- plete listings released from the of- fice of the principal, show that there are 182 members of the alumni in the forces.

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.

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. P I ELOCUTIONISTS First row, left to right, Jack Huston, Pete Stefoni and Vince Beuzer. Second row, Al. Fairhurst, Claude Knecht and Bob Breskovich. 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.

Var- ious functions are being devised by the ingenious Juniors who are eager to surpass the lavish affair which was sponsored by the class of 43. Already active is a prom corn- mittee which is 'composed of eight members, Pete Stefoni, Frank Tay- lor, Jack Erck, Henry Hickey, Dan Harkins, Bill Van Rooy, Vince Beuzer and Bernard Loonam, La- ter other committees will be ap- pointed for more specific duties at which time more definite plans will be announced.

PAGE TW0 T H E L I 0 N JANUARY, 1943 I O s , Something to Consider B F I I fl .. You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you. . 'i I The priesthood is not only a sacred and sublime office instituted SUMPIN NU HAZ BIN ADDUD l .- and pass the Ammunjti0n .. by Christ, but it is also a ministry of unselfish service to mankind. l The value of this service has long been recognized by our govern- ment which provides Catholic Chaplains for our boys in the Army and Navy. ' 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!
