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!

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.

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.

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.

Larry Rask, Cliff Schiesz, LaVerne Martineau, Jack Herm- sen, Vern Morris and A1 Fairhurst are varsity lettermen and Jim O'- Farrell, Ray Sullivan, Peter Ste- foni, Ted Garitone, Dean Pitsch and Jim Fitzpatrick are reserve felt-winners.

Dean Pitsch shows great improve- ment from last year and may team with Martineau on the first five. Jack I-Iermsen, ailing from a re- cent appendectomy, and Vern Morris, to be eligible at mid-year, will make strong bids forthe first team when they get back on the maple. The coach's biggest headache is height as few of his men reach six feet but he expects to overcome this deficiency with speed. His group of scrappers are determined and are pointing for the city Mr. Kelley who coached the Championship this Season- Sophs last year, sees great possi- .bilities in his stock of sharpshoot- f ers and early scrimmages have , convinced him that he will have 1 5 D one of the strongest aggregations 35 in Lion history.

Congratulations, Larry. ll ll: 4' From pre-season observation this department is convinced that we, of Bellarmine, have one of the finest looking quintets in the history of the school. Many victories are in store for such a team. 4' 5 W News from Gonzaga U. tells us that Jimmie Moriarity is a basket- ball manager and Didi Rosellini a boxing manager. Both are former Bell students. i 1 15' It Mr. Kelley seems well pleased with the performance his players turned in recently, when the Lions played Federal Way.

In previous years, besides the most enjoyable dinner, the play- ers listened to many distinguished speakers, both civic and religious, and a gold watch was presented to the most inspirational player on each squad while souvenirs and golden memories were the reward of every player, manager and coach. It is 'only fitting that we should know more of our benefactors, the Knights of Columbus, consequent- ly, we introduce you to those Knights who have sponsored a boy thus far at the banquet.
