Of the group six are return- ing varsity lettermen and six re- serves. 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. Charles Galbraith, Brooks Dean, John Carey, Vincent Beuzer, Rich. Simpson, Danny Stumpf, Dan Harkins and Lloyd Reed have made bids for the first five. year of sensational ball, while La Verne Martineau appears to be headed for a big year at forward. 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.

Larry Donohue was chosen property manager for basketball, which places a capable man in that position. 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. However, first team positions are still undecided as some players were limited to a few minutes of play due to previous sickness. Reserves' Team Receives Letters After winning three out of five games and also being of valuable erig, T. Bichsel, Peterson, Loon- am, Reed, Dean, Wescott, Stumpf, Felts, Rowley and Hickeyp Soph- assistance to the varsity in scrim- mages, the Reserves have hung up their football togs for the sea- son, y Despite the fact that the little Lions were continually at a weight disadvantage, nevertheless, they were always in there fighting, and managed to win more than their share of games. Those winning their letters were: Juniors-Fitzpatrick, Muld- omores-Archbald, K n ell e k e n, Graisy, Schultz, C. Schuler and Jim McGoffin, the scrappy center who was elected captain at the close of the season. Freshmen who won their felts are Greco, Haniger, Mosich, Payne. Patnode, D. Renner, Beuchler and Cline. Jerry Donovan, a freshman, won his managers letter for handling the equipment during the season. Sponsor Banquet The entire Bellarmine football squad will be the guests of the Tacoma Knights of Columbus at the Seattle Washington Athletic Club on Monday, December 14th. The banquet has become an an- nual affair thrcugh the generosity of the Knights, and the boys eagerly anticipate joining with Prep and O'Dea, who are sponsored by the Seattle Knights, on that gala occasion. 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.

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.

A serious note and one of tender solemn gratitude for the labors of our brave service men was struck when officers of the Reserve Of- ficers' .Training Corps of Bellar- mine, dressed in full uniform and bearing the flag of their Division and Old Glory, the flag of all America, stood at attention while Cadet Joseph Mijich read Joyce Kilmer's immortal Rouge Bou- quet. This soul stirring tribute of the Catholic soldier poet who gave his life in the last war, was hailed by the audience withsilent and reverential, attention. . Sodalists Received fContinued from Page Onel vocatef' Father Lynch then pre- sented the new Sodalists with the medal, to wear over their heart- a sign that henceforth the Virgin Mother of God must be the guid- ing force in their lives. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered after the Reception ceremony and all the Sodalists received Holy Communion. ' The Sodality and organization, founded by the Society of Jesus with the approval of the Holy Sec, has ifor its purpose, fostering de- votion to the Blessed Virgin and promoting works of piety and zeal. Members enjoy. many privileges. As the special clients of Mary they may expect her devoted interest in themand all they do. They have the benediction, not only of past popes, but of our present Holy Father, Pius XII, who, in a recent letter lovingly blesses the Sodal- ity of Mary. They have the op- portunity of gaining many indul- gences with which the Sovereign Pontiffs have enriched ,member- ship in the Sodality. Bellarmine is proud of its new Marian Legion. She congratulates them now and she expects of them in future years the very best in' Catholic leadership and Cath- olic Action. Officers of the Sodal- ity and their Moderator, Mr. Ag- new, S. J., wish to thank all those who so laboriously helped to pre- Pare the chapel and decorate' the altar for the occasion of'the Rc- ception. 4 JAMES HOLT PETER STEFONI I Seniors Plant Trees 5 Proof that the Thanksgiving va- lcation' did not pass without re- sults, is-the trim border of poplar trees lining one side of the ath- letic field. V The planting of these trees was undertaken by Senior Room 2 and the students took time from their holiday to accomplish this. Although the original plan of completely surrounding the field was not carried out, it is hoped ,that with the help of succeeding Seniors it will be effected. 1 ' . Alumnus Writes Indicative of the spirit in which the Lion is received by the ser- vice alumni is clearly seen in a letter from Camp Hood, Texas. Dear Students: With regards to your copy re- questing the names of alumni in service, I am sending, with great pleasure, the addresses ,of all those whom I know. I consider it a wonderful endeavor on the part of Lion's staff to do this for the alumni in the service. And, wher- ever they may be, I'm'sure they will recollect the fond memories that the school paper will bring back to them. Many a time I've wondered how the athletic teams were making out. Now that I will be able to find out, I hope I'm not disap- pointed. But, win or lose, never stop fighting. Just as your alumni are fighting now, so that, that little red schoolhouse will always remain on the top of the hill. A Loyal Alumnus, THOMAS J. BASTROM.
