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.

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.

PAGE FOUR THE LION APRIL, 1944 ALASKA MISSION FUND NETS 3350 SODALITY PLANS MAY DEvoT1oNs A successful culmination of the Alaskan Mission Drive has been reached. The entire student body is to be congratulated for their splendid cooperation and interest in the effort. ' The goal set at 5100.00 was reached, surpassed, and more than tripled to the extent of S350.00. The Sodality acting as the spear- head during this campaign is to be commended on this huge suc- cess. Every year the month of May is set aside by the Sodality for de- votion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The entire student body congre- gates before the campus statue of the Blessed mother during the first period of the afternoon and there they sing the Litanies of the Blessed Virgin in her honor. In case of rain these devotions will be held in the gym. The follow- ing students will give short read- ings: May 1: The Litanies-Tom Bichsel, May 2: Mother of God-Vince Beu- zer.

Jim con- tested with seven other students from Catholic and Private high schools in. Tacoma and Seattle area.

Child Health Day May 1 May first has annually been set aside as Child Health Day by joint resolution of the Congress on May 18, 1928.

This year May first will be much different for the youth of America are going to take over that which oiu' parents did in the past few years. This year it is youth's turn to say what should be done to protect health in homes and communities. Many of our government 'leaders as well as President Roosevelt have urged all boys and girls in clubs and social activities to dis- cuss and then act upon Health problems. A Some of the Health problems asked to be discussed are Food, Housing, Safety, and Activities. L.l.1.1 My Friend Across The Way From my little study window I can see a lamp's faint ray, 'Tis the ever-faithful Watcher Of my Friend across the way. Through the day I oft look over, All for Thee is what I say, And Iifancy it's a comfort To my Friend across the way. When the sky is bright and cloudless And my heart is also gay, In my joys I'lI not forget You Comrade mine, across the way. If the day be dark and dreary, Drifting round me mists of gray, Then I whisper, Don't desert me, Dearest Lord across the way. Let the years be hard and toilsome, Still my life is one bright May, For my burdens. all are carried By my Friend across the way. When I leave my study window At the close of Life's short day Through the gates of death I'll take 1 Him Take my Friend across the way. -Rev. Dauid P. Mcflstocker, S. J. Lion Club Adds New Members Recently a number of new mem- bers were officially sworn into the Bellarmine's Lion's Club to replace those who have entered the service of God or their country.

At an assembly held just before the Easter holidays the president of the Lion's Club, Vince Beuzer, presented to Tom Bichsel, prefect of the Sodality, forty dollars that the Club had raised during March for the Alaska Mission Fund. Functioning of the recently in- augurated Lion's Police System seems to be running smoothly. One hundred per cent cooperation from. the student body has facili- tated an otherwise difficult and onerous job. .l..-.l-1.
