lContinued From Page ll PAGE TWO T H E I Q N n I APRIL, 1944 Dem-Igaifivns The Fourth Column St. Robert Bellormine - In order to pay tribute to men of great reknown, Ameri- cans have christened schools and churches with their name. Lincoln, Washi'ngton, Loyola and other institutions bear the title of gallant men who distinguish themselves and set a striking example for us to follow. . In 1542 there was born to an Italian nobleman, a son who later became the defender of Christianity. In 1560 this Italian lad joined the army of the Society of Jesus. His fore and blasphemed by Protestant heretics. He defended the principle for which Americans are now lighting: A government of the people, for the people and by the people with liberty and, justice for all. He defended the Ciod-given rights for freedom of worship and freedom of speech. This Cardinal and Doctor of the Catholic Church became known to the world as St. Robert Bellarmine. Indeed our school is .privileged to have such a namesake. His example and like roam the halls of -Bellarmine: from these portals go catholic men ground in the democratic rights and duties they owe to God and to their country. Thanks to the Lion Staff As the official organ of Bellarmine. the Lion plays a very important part in keeping the school abreast of all activities and events. The news in it is the news of Bellarmine: the views expressed are those of the students. It is completely edited by the students, for the students. . Too often when we read the paper we do not realize the large amount of time and effort expended by the staff to make the edition possible. We consider the paper as a matter of course, and do not appreciate it in the light of the generous contributions made by the staff. Heading the mast this year was the name of Bernard Loonam as editor-in-chief. It is mainly through his com- petence and capabilities that the Lion received so many com- pliments and distinctions. To the other members of the staff we also extend a sincere vote of thanks. particularly to those seniors, we bid farewell. Debate Over KMO BI'OtIlC1'S ' theological and philosophical knowledge came to the when the Roman Catholic Church was being denounced the gym to listen to the broadcast. I This debate style employed in this debate was a new venture for the Debate Club. The Lincoln- Douglas system was adapted to the half hour period, each speaker being allowed 7 minutes for posi- tive arguments and 6 for cross- question of his opponent. The system proved intensely interest- ing. The radio listeners were ask- ed to mail in their decisions, and the winner will be announced soon. Oliver Glassy and Jim Henriot will debate the same topic later this month at one of the city's high schools. The subject for the final debate of the year reads, Resolved: that the Army's physi- cal fitness course is preferable for high schools than inter-scho- lastic sports. In Service Bellarmine High School is proud of their service list of over' 500 alumni, but they are even more proud of the many sets of brothers who are in the service of their country. Today, over 65 sets of brothers have left the Bell halls to answer the call of Uncle Sam.

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.

APRIL, 1944 THE LION PAGE THREE . Above are pictured the Junior and Senior members of the Bell Rifle Club. Many have finished the long course of firing prescribed by the National Rifle Association. Some compose a team which has placed seventh in the ROTC matches, second in-the Randolph Hearst matches and are in the A division of Rifle Club throughout the country. The members look forward to a three-way battle on May 2 when the Bell Riflemen will meet the Stadium Rifle Team and the Rifle Team of Glen Port Club, Seattle, in the Stadiuim range. The Lion and Lynx Rifle teams will fight it out May 9 at Lincoln and, in a return match, on May 16 on the Bells' Range. Many thanks to all who have taken such a whole-hearted interest inthe Rifle Club and who have the rifle range with its new target carriers and scaffoldings, one off the best school ranges in the North- west. Lions Claw Gig Harborl Although green and inexperi- enced, the fiery Bell Ball Team outhit Gig Harbor 10 to 4 to cap- ture a 9 to 3 victory. Considering the roughness of the feild, few errors were made. Even though the players have not played to- gether long, the teamwork was very smooth. Most of the team is composed of underclassmen and shows promises of being one of Be11armine's greatest b a s e b al l teams. Rowley struck out thirteen. O'Dea Wins 4 to 2 Bellarmine fans got their first glance of the 1944 baseball squad when the Seattle's O'Dea Irish in- vaded the Lion's den on- April 14, and though the locals lost, every- one went home highly pleased with the showing of the youthful squad that has but 2 lettermen amongst 28 players. The score was 4-2. John Rowley yielded up 8 hits, 2 earned runs, and struck out 7. O'Dea's Brady allowed 5 hits, 2 going after Brady's hit over 2nd let his glove slip off. Umpire Hal Lee gave Brady an automatic scored Ellingsen, and score. Two runs in on an error, put the for the Irish. triple which knotted the the 6th, one game on ice Bellarmine's completely new in- well. Freshman cat- field clicked cher Greco worked well with Row- ley whose speed, control, and coll- ness promised him a successful season. The starting nine, which includes one senior, 3 juniors, 4 sophomores, and a freshman, re- vealed a stick weakness. Batting practice will be stressed this Week. Lions Participated in Golden Gloves Meet Bellarmine was well represented in the Golden Gloves tournament held recently at the Tacoma City Armory. Eddie Archbold, 127 lbs., Jack OtConnor, 135 lbs., and George Vlahovich, 175 lbs., each received a pair of boxing trunks INTRA-MURAL SOFT BALL BEGINS Every year, at the beginning of the spring, a softball captain is elected from each class to lead his roll room to the Bellarmine High Softball Championship. This year is no exception. The Seniors of Room 6 CSouthl started the season by deflating the Seniors of Room 6 fNorthl, by a score .of 1 to 0. In the second scheduled game, Room 9's Juniors trampled the Juniors of Room 10, 2 to 0. These games are played at noon hour and are not full length games. Much enthusiasm is shown by the spectators, because it is an ex- cellent means of entertainment while eating lunch, and it provides a much needed rest after four hard periods.
