Schulfheis, Rector Faculty Awaits End of the Year With the advent 'of the summer months comes the inevitable signs of relief. We emerged long enough from our cells to inquire and re- ceive opinions from various teach- ers: Mr. Bauer: I am told that For- san et haec olim meminisse juva- bit but not just right now. Mr. Koehler: Stick around I'11 make at least ONE of those experi- ments work. , Mr. Kelley: I don't know what Shakespeare would say but per- sonally I'm glad. Mr. Agnew: I was so sure I put those Republicans around here somewhere. Mr. Lindekugel: Not another vacation? Au revoirl Bellarmine graduates of 1943! The editorial column of a recent issue of The Denver Register gives reputable figures concerning the percentage of Catholics in our armed forces at this time. Those figures, notably higher than the percentage of Catholics in relation to the country at large, are eloquent testimony to the loyalty and patriotism of our boys. Most of you will soon be swelling that armed number, and if you have had your entire high school course at Bellarmine, the years of military traininggiven you here will prove a valuable asset to you and to your country. Spiritual values and the spirit of sacrifce are not new nor foreign terms to you. Your very presence in a Catholic high school has meant sacriyice for your parents as 'Well as for yourselves. And this sacrifice has been cheerfully made on behalf of those spiritual values--in a word, Religion-which we hold too important to be divorced from any attempt at Education Worthy of the name. Yes, We staunchly hold with Pope Pius XI, and We hope that you have learned the wisdom of that stand: To be a fit place for Catholic students, it is necessary that all the teaching and the whole organization of the school, and its teachers, syllabus and text-books in every branch, be regulated by the Christian spirit, under the direction and maternal super- vision of the Churchg so that Religion may be in very truth the foundation and crown of the youth's entire training, and this in every grade of school, not only the elementary, but the inter- mediate and the higher institutions of learning as Well. That explains Bellarmine's existence. You can hold your head up and look any man in the eye as you tell that you have a diploma from Bellarmine High School-a Catholic high school. I g Never do anything that might cause Bellarmine to be ashamed of owning you. God bless and keep you-ever! Au revoirl LOUIS B. FINK, S. 1. him Mr. Thatcher: Say, did you hear REMEMBER the one about the moron who- ibut we escapedb. STUDENTS-BUY Mr. B0yle: Now, maybe this Will BONDS FOR BELLARIMINE keep some of you pests away. BONDS FOR SCHOOL Buy a Bond for Bellarminef' was the slogan Mrs. A. B. Comforth Philomathea president, urged the students to adopt this summer. With high school boys now in position to earn good wages, reas- oned Mrs. Comfort, they should make some effort to help reduce the indebtedness of the school. This student drive is a. part of a well organized campaign to aid .Bellarmine by buying war savings stamps and bonds. Initial success of the drive has been very encouraging and officers of the Mothers, Club are confident that much rivalry will result be- tween parents, students and friends of the school once the definite details are announced.
