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. Schultheis, S. I. President. g Sodality Receives Candidates On the morning of December fourth, the student Chapel was the scene of a simple but impressive ceremony when sixty-two recruits. boys of Bellarmine, took their stand in the ranks of the Sodal- ity under the banner of Marys Im- maculate. 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. Asked by the Secretary in the course of the ceremony: Do you ,Wish and are you determined to practice an ardent devotion, rev- erence and filial love for the Blessed Virgin Mary and to show this devotion by works of piety and zeal? the candidates answer- ed with clear, determined accord: Y We do wish it and are so re- solved 'with all our hearts.

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. ROTC Instructs With Films Last Monday the R.O.T.C. Unit began a series of instructional training films for the cadets un- der the direct supervision of the Commandant, Lt. Col. Allan John- son. The first of the series Sanitation and First Aid which will be followed by other phases of training films as time goes on. I made a great impression on th boys and the R.O.T.C. authorities feel sure that this new method of showing training films will instill a greater knowledge in the minds of the students than the old meth- od, classroom instruction alone. is 17 E The The The if '1 .1 11 11 1 . 1, worst movie of last year ......

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. CUB GRIDSTERS RECEIVE LETTERS Cub football letters, announced Fr. J. Logan, were awarded to the following husky freshmen: Thad McArthur, Tommy Flood, Elvin Stowell, Allan Rivers, Mike Thornton, B111 Kroff, Bob O'Larey, Bob Pavolka, Dick Messo, Joe Mil- ler, George Christnacht and Bob May.

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!

Let's make the Road to Tokyo an American Highway instead of just an American'Movie. Work for it, fight for it, it's worth it: Democracy. Buy War Bonds and Stamps.

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.
