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 McGoffin received the hon- or of representing Bellarmine High School in the Seattle con- test, held in the Knights of Co- lumbus Hall, March 31. Jim con- tested with seven other students from Catholic and Private high schools in. Tacoma and Seattle area. Although he bowed down to su- perior ability that night, however, it at least proves that Bellarmine is still upholding her high tradi- tion to participate in such events -the fine art of speaking.

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. In past years Child Health Day has been dis- cussed and acted upon by the parents. 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. These new members are: Henry Hickey, Tom Gilshannon, Dave Peterson, Tom Bichsel, Bob Wood, Ed Arch- bold, Jack O'Leary, Walt Haniger, Frank Loonam, Don McGavick and Bert Goodman. 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. Quill 8: Scroll iContinued From Page 11 High School Journalists recognized the Lion as one of the outstanding achievements, and last year be- stowed upon it the excellent rat- ing.

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.

Bell Views The Mountain As seen from Bellarmine, Mt. Rainier is often described as an overwhelmingly impressive sight, its great height dwarfing the Cas- cade Range and other neighbor- ing peaks. With its twenty-eight glaciers radiating from the sum- mit like the arms of a star fish, the mountain presents one of the country's most extensive ice for- mations. A stirring spectacle both by the vastness of its glacial man- tel and the striking ruggedness of its cliffs is Mt. Rainier, the third highest peak in continental United States. The approximate center of this majestic pyramid is marked by a massive cauldron, which is the result of a volcanic erruption many ages ago. A closer survey of Mt. 'Rainier's panoramic sculpture would reveal haughty cliffs, forested valleys be- neath towering crags, moving gla- ciers melting into turbulent streams, board ice fields and flow- ered mountain meadows, great cirques and crevasses. Mt. Rainier and its sur- rounding parkland have become nationally known as a veritable summer and winter paradise. GOLDEN GLOVE TOURNAMENT Due to the efforts of the Tacoma War Athletic Commission, in co- laboration with the city high schools, Tacoma will witness its first Golden Gloves Tournament on March 24 in the State Armory. The Tacoma War Athletic Com- mission, headed by John Heinrick, has sponsored numerous events for the purpose of obtaining athletic equipment for the armed forces in this vicinity. Fifteen schools from Pierce County will place candidates in the ring, whom they have' selected by a process of elimination. Mit- men distinguishing themselves at Bellarmine under the capable guidance of Sgt. H. C. Douglas are Eddy Archbold, Bill Bichsel, Tom Bichsel, Don Felts, Arnold Cramer, Don Verhalen and last but not least, Rugged Red O'Connor. These boys will clash with similar rep- resentatives from other schools until a single victor remains in each of the eight weight divisions. When the smoke of battle clears, the winners will be presented box- ing robes with the inscription Golden Gloves Champion on the' back. ROTC RIFLE TEAM Kneeling: L. Jayko, A. Kramer, Coon, M. Jayko, McCaffery,.J. Toynbee. lst row: Peterson, Gosselin, K. Galbraith, Goralski, May, J. McDonough. New Lion Staff A ppointedg M cGoffin Assumes Post as Editor Following a precedent set in the last two years of Lion publications, senior members of the Lion staff have been relieved of their duties in order to devote their full attention to pressing studies and repetitions. IN MEMORIAM Frank J. Hickey, friend of Bel- larmine High School, since its be- ginning, passed to his eternal re- ward on Thursday, March 9, after but a brief illness. Mt. Hickey was on the original -building com- mittee for the school and gave generously both in time and mon-U ey ro the building of the school. Often during the years he proved that his friendship was enduring. During the Debt-Reduction Drive of last summer Mr. Hickey was again on the committee to formu- , late plans and again was one of the principal donors. In the pass- ing of Mr. Hickey Bellarmine High School feels a great loss. ' ROTC Rifle Team Seventh in Match The ROTC Rifle Team, coached by Sgt. Harold. C. Douglas, has captured seventh place in the an- nual Ninth service command in- tercollegiate gallery rifle matches. This entitles the rifle team to enter the national competition which closes April 19. The team is now firing its first stages in this national ROTC match. Those making the team are: Capt. D. Peterson, Capt. M. Jayko, 2nd Lt. J. McGoffin, -Sgt. R. Mc- Caffery, Cpl. R. Coon, Cpl. L. Goralski, Pfc. L. Jayko, Pfc. R. Gosselin, Pfc. R. May, Pfc. J. Toyn- bee, Pfc. Leo Rink, Pvt. J. Patrick, Pvt. K. Galbraith, Pvt. J. McDon- ough. This policy is found doubly ad- vantageous as it also gives a chance for the incumbent staff to acquire experience necessary for the fulfillment of their new ap- pointments. Replacing Bernard Loonam as editor-in-chief of the Lion is Jim McGoffin, who was formerly sports editor. In the position of associate editor is Jim Henriot, last year's feature writer and Jim Holt. Ed. Graisy will be sports editor with Bill Kropf as his associate. Bert Goodman and Oliver Glassy, form- er reporters, will be feature writ- ers. Circulation managers will be Bob Wood and Chuck Schulerg Bob Robison and Bill St. Martin, ad managers. Librarian, Henry Hellenkampg Exchange editor, Bob Ludemang Reporters: Dick Ban- non, D.

Bellarmine won the flag last spring and to keep it flying neces- sitated 90 per cent of the student body to purchase either a bond or a 10 cent stamp. With the help of the faculty and Lion's Club, a 100 per cent showing was tallied after a two-day rally.
