Last year it held thirty-second place in the Corps Area Matches, at the la- test match Bellarmine's team won second place. Throughout the en- tire United States, Bellarmine's ROTC rifle team holds tenth place. To the cadet officers and non- commissioned officers, each cadet should be grateful. Under the able supervision of these students, the lessons that cadets have learned they will never forget. These offi- how to lead with other purpose of cers have also learned men, and get along leaders, the primary ROTC. And thus BeIlarmine's ROTC Battalion dismisses until the open- ing of school this fall. LION FULFILLS WARTIME DUTIESg SERVICE MEN WELCOME COPIES During the past year the Lion, the official organ of Bellarmine High School, has tried successfully to meet the requirements of a school paper at war. Student war activities and Bond Sales have play- ed an important part in the making of the paper. The Lion has also formed a happy and very appreciated link between our alumni who are now in the service and the old Alma Mater. Hundreds of letters have been re- ceived from these men expressing their gratitude for issues of the Lion that have been sent to them. The old staff of l943-I944 has worked hard to try and keep up the fine record established by form- er staffs. Also at this point it is only proper and fitting that words of extreme gratitude and appreci- ation should be expressed to Mr. S. D. Penna, S. J., for the unstinted effort he so generously gave in making the Lion bigger and' better. Sport Slants Although this year's edition of the Bell eleven didn't add another trophy to their shelves, they did give many a headache to opposing teams and coaches. The passing duo, Mar- tineau to Hermsen, gave rival play- ers plenty of sweat and tears. Barnes, Farrell and Renner were the stone- wall defense men in the line. Credit should be given to those men who consistently turned out all year, but weren't quite good enough to make the grade-to Jack Erck a couple of Purple Hearts, to Van Rooy a re- tread lway down underl, and to Jack Huston anythin we've got left. An overall synopsis of the basket- ball season finds the Bell quintet some thirty points to the good. One of the highest prep scores ever to be run up in this city was spurred by the veterans, Martineau and Hermsen over Gig Harbor. With many returning lettermen to build a nucleus for next year's squad, the outlook seems very promising. The baseball squad is supplying a strengthening blood transfusion to the spirit of Bellarmine. Their sweet 6-5 triumph over Lincoln was the first victory over that school by any Bell athletic team in over three years.

WASHINGTON APRIL, 1944 5' FRANK SHAPPEE Quill sf Scroll To Initiate Ten In conjunction with its moder- ator, Mr. Penna, S. J., the Quill at Scroll Chapter of Bellarmine has announced the reception of this years outstanding members of the Lion staff. By virtue of their talents, abilities, and service records, Dick Bannon, Tom Bich- sel, Bill Cummins, Oliver Glassy, Bert Goodman, Paul Hebert, Pete Ivanovich, Dave Peterson, Chuck Schuler, and Bob Wood will re- ceive their pins on April 23, pro- vided they weather the initiation prepared by the clubs nine charter members. The journalism group, and the Chapter are most fortunate in having Fr. David P. McAstocker, S. J., as guide, counsellor and friend. Despite the handicap of physical frailty, this zealous liter- ary apostolate finds himself doing his priestly duties through the medium of the press. The presence of the Bellarmine chapter during the past two years has served as a real incentive to all the staff members. The Inter- national Honorary Society for lContinued on Page 42 H ueml' and face HAS LEAD g and 2 HAS LEAD Arsenic and Old Lace is rapidly progressing and is now in the final stages of polishing. On Sunday evening, April 30, at 8:15, and again on Tuesday evening, May 2, at 8:15, the Mask and Dagger Club will present this hilarious comedy of homicidal paranoics. With more dead bodies than you can count on your fingers, the daffy Brewsters and their daffier nephews play tag about the graves of dear old gentlemen. The play has had an unusual career on Broadway and on the amateur stages of America, and has been played in practically every foreign country of note. This production heralds the rise of a new star on the dramatic horizon of Bellarmine - Frank Shappee, a sweet freshman, who will play an even sweeter role as one of the elder Brewsters. He will be aided by Gene Mack, the other important Brewster. The horror of the evening will be Vince Karloff Beuzer, and plenty of comedy will be furnished by Bob 'Breskovich and Jack Huston. Bernard Loonam, the neighbor- ing minister, Leo Gilman, one of the few sane characters in the play land at times we even doubt thath, Henry Hellenkamp, a likely prospect for the Brewster's cel- lar, and their last victim, Warren Noel, add to the complications. The Keystone cops will be played by John McGivern, Henry Hickey and stage struck Stan Fairhurst, and all bossed about by little Joe Ferry. With Rudy Knabel in charge of production and his able assistants, Erlien, Maddock, Payne and J. O'Leary, the staging will be pro- fessional. The proceeds derived from Be1larmine's spring play, Arse- nic and Old Lace, are pledged for the deficit in the printing of the Lion, as over five hundred copies of each issue are mailed to the alumni serving in the armed forces. GENE MACK Debate Over KM 0 On Thursday afternoon, April 13, two members of the Debate Club, Vince Beuzer and Bernard Looham, discussed over radio sta- tion KMO the question, Resolved: that the Italian peninsular cam- paign- was .a mistake.
