Sodality Sponsors Mission Fund The Bellarmine Sodality acting as the spearhead in the annual Alaska Mission Fund drive has set aside the month of March for this purpose. The financial goal set is to exceed the one hundred dollar mark. Since March is in the middle of the Lenten season, this should be an added incentive for the boys to give willingly. In past years the drive at Bel- larmine has been met with much enthusiasm on the part of the stu- dents. The annual mark has in by- gone years exceeded the sum of four hundred dollars. The drive, since it is a tradition at Bellar- mine, is expected to be ai success. A Weekly collection will be taken up in all the rooms and sodality members have been appointed to collect in the different classrooms. Heading the campaign are Tom Bichsel and Jerry Driscoll. 1: 755 Broadway MA. 2702 During the season of Lent Mass Lx --A---- g --AAY f--A- g is being offered every morning in gif-e-5533333511535-iii-T-iq the house Chapel at 8:00 a. m.

Felt arm emblems will be issued along with the medal awards. Mike Jayko is entitled to a Dis- tinguished emblem and McGaffrey, Coon and Larry Jayko will receive Expert awards. Sharpshooter's em- blems were won by Altman, M. Galbraith, Goralski, Gosselin, Hen Room 2 Champs in Intra-Mural Game The sophomores of Room 2 hold the Intra-mural Basketball Cham- pionship. Room 10 was in the run- ning till the final game. A three game series was played for the championship. Each team won one out of the first two games but in the final games Room 2 nosed out Room 10 by a score of 21 to 16. Joe Oswald,,Stan Erlien, Frank Pizzo, Jack O'Leary, Pete Marin- kovich, R. May, Capt., played for the Sophs while Mike McDon- ough, Bill Sullivan, Matt Cleary, Don McGavick and John Comfort held up runners-up-honors. The importance of intra-mural sports has been stressed by every member of the factulty. Some schools have dropped inter-school competition and have adopted in- tra-mural sports in order to give every student the advantage that sports afford. When coaching abil- ity, athletic equipment and facili- ties are devoted wholly to a few hopeful prospects, the majority of the student body are the ones ne- glected. It is hoped that more stu- dents of Bellarmine will take a more active part in all the intra- mural activities.

Bells Aid War Effort What have we done for our country in its prosecution of the war? This question is being ask- ed by everyone at this time. Bellar- mine can proudly answer, Our share, and more. Bellarmine boys are ,in every branch of the service, many of them have already seen' action. Four gold stars are already on our service flag. On the home front Bellarmine boys have done much to speed victory. Our boys when asked to help pile scrap at the community's scrap pile, responded with such enthusiasm that Mr. Sam Powell, President of the Salvage Committee, sent a special letter of thanks to Jack Erck, our student body president. But Bellarmine boys have really shown their spirit when asked to buy war bonds and stamps. Dur- ing the year, our boys have bought a total of 55,516.50 worth of war bonds and stamps. Bellarmine has done its share and will continue doing so. Military Tests At Bellarmine , On March 15 at 9 A. M., the Army-Navy tests for the special- ized training programs will be held.
