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.

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.

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 first read- ing of the side-splitting comedy Room Service was had two weeks ago and is now in rehearsal. When those concerned were looking for a suitable play for presentation, they hit the jack- pot when they chose Room Ser- vice. It is a fast moving comedy with something happening every moment. Pete Stefoni, a hard-boiled ho- tel inspector, will be providing many laughs in his role as Wagner. Jim Schuler, the hotel manager, will be trying to appease his rant- ings throughout. The sly-tongued producer, Jim Burkhouse, who gets into more scrapes than he can manage while Rich Simpson will be making his debut as a doc- tor who has his reputation and job at stake, The role of a simple but good-natured playwriter who comes to the big city to make good will be played by Jim Holt. And here we give you three guesses as to what Bill Van Rooy will portray. You are right again- it is a woman. These are but a few of the many who will take part in the big play of the season. Thanksgiving Message From Father Principal In everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, Ch. 4: V. 6 Saint Paul strikes the perfect keynote for Thanksgiving Day in this year of War, 1942. We would not dream of taking the Thanks out of the holiday, yet each of us must feel that the occasion this year calls loudly for something more, such as - PauI's urge to prayer and supplication. Our prayers, our supplications, with ever increasing fervor, should be directed towards Peace - a Christ-like Peace - for all the world. And the more we season these prayers with self-sacrifice and self-denial, whether the acts be purely voluntary or otherwise, the more efficacious shall our petitions become. Remember, God loves the cheerful giver! Thanks to Almighty God today, a million times over, for all the blessings He has vouchsafed us, as individuals, and our beloved country as a whole. We can show gratitude in no better way than by demon- strating in our daily lives, an active and practical assent to that noble counsel written by heroic Commander Shea of the ill-fated U.S.S. Wasp, in that now famous first-and-last letter to his young son: Be a good Catholic and you can't help being a good American. Bellarmine is reverently thankful today for her tangible proof of Commander Shea's statement, in the form of our Service Flag, with its star of gold, and the daily increasing number of stars of blue. For all brave hearts and true, dear Lord, we thank Thee, and beg Thee to keep them safe! Fr. L. B. Fink, S. J.

The assembly was closed by the song Three Little lVI2istersl, which thanked Coach Toner and his two assist- ants, Mr. Kelley, S. J., and Mr. Penna, S. J., for their work during ,the football season. Dean of Studies Visits Despite his recent illness, which necessitated his absence at the retreat, Father Mark Gaffney vis- ited Bellarmine in his capacity of Dean of Studies of the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus. During his week-long visit, Father Gaffney inspected the classes and lectured before dif- ferent clubs. On the final day of his stay, he addressed the as- sembled students on the subject of moral reconstruction.
