The money received has been sent to the Queen's Work who will in turn send to Camp Adair and Camp Carson 1000 pamphlets writ- ten by Fr. Lord, S. J., and other nationally known Catholic authors. For the first time in recent years the Bellarmine Sodality is to have a social entitled K E E' N - O - F U N. At 7:30 p. m., on Saturday, January 22, the Belarmine gym will be the scene of fun as well as a get together of the Catholic youth of Tacoma. The evening will commence with keen-o as well as other prize games and amuse- ments. Later the evening will be well rounded with entertainment which will include both school and outside talent. Refreshments will be served by Junior Sodalists to all present. The evening will be concluded with a dance. The coun- try's leading orchestras will be heard through the benefit of a juke I box. I Prefect Tom Bichsel has an- nounced that the committees will be headed by Senior Sodalists Bernard Loonam, Joe Corbett, Vince Beuzer, Dave Peterson, Tom Gilshannon, Frank Taylor, Bill Sullivan and Jim McGoffin.

Anent the New Erasers Thai: Have Appeared The eraser is one of the humblest and most unpre- tentious little tools in manis possession, whether it be the felt black-board eraser or the bit of rubber on the end of the lead pencil. The eraser makes no claims that it can write. But it has developed a reputation for erasing things, mistakes that the chalk and pencil make. Vilithout thc eraser, mistakes could hardly be corrected. ln the-school of life we all make mistakes, some of them minor while others are serious, some are erasable while others are indelible. But the chief point is this, our mistakes are open to public scrutiny, blame, or erasure. Most men are experts in blaming, and few there are who function well as erasers. Few are they who pause, in kindness to help the erring, to lessen the blot upon the life of some one. Says theproverb: One ounce of pre- vention is better than a pound of cureli' But when pre- ventionn didn't work, and the mistake VVAS made, it's best get your pound of cure and see if relief canit be brought to some aching heart. To forgive another is to function as an eraser. To help fellovvmen, in kindness, to right their mistakes, is to function as an eraser. Some things, of course, can only be erased by Godg but surprisingly many errors can be erased by you and me. E. H. he Forgotten romises- - Looking back to the last student body elections one recalls the vast variety of glowing promises that were made. The one outstanding promise raised by candidates was a bigger and better year for all. We know this has not been true during the past year. However, it is hoped and desired that this New Year will be Bigger and Better. Some of the reasons for this hopeful outlook are the new and all-important activities of the Lions' Club. There seems to be a revival of spirit on the part of the student body. Some of the basketball players commenting on the support given were amazed and pleased by the enthusiasm and spirit displayed by some of the students at the Auburn Game. The Bell squad is countnig and depending on the student' body for full co-operation, the same holds true for all school activities. BACK UP YOUR SCHOOLI!!!

Aside from offering a diversion from the regular routine of English Literature and Composition, debating forms admirable habits of alertness and activity for the mind. The students are taught the fundamentals and procedure of formal debating. The most important issues of the day are discussed. Debating is an art in itself, and requires proper training and coaching if it is to be truly fruitful. Perhaps the most important and appreciated result of debating is the development of poise. Most of us realize the value of this personal asset. It is fortunate that so fruitful a scholastic exercise has proved popular with the students.

- 'il ai, in Q W January, 1944 , voi. zo, No. 4 f' as tllllllllllli 0 . MTI' ' x , , BELLARMINE HIGH SCHOOL, TACOMA, WASHINGTON Good Luck! Hi, Sailor! Qs, l I .XI Jim Buchanan Joe Corbett Induction Calls Bellarmine bids farewell with the close o-f the first semester to eleven seniors who will complete their high school course on Janu- ary 25, 1944. It will be the first time in the history of our school that seniors will graduate in mid- year. The present war and the draft of 18 year olds is responsible for this precedence. Immediately upon graduation they will enter the Eleven Seniors armed services. The entrance of these boys in the armed service is typical of the high patriotism shown by Bellarmine graduates, of whom 697, are serving our country at the present time. The graduates are: Robert Bott, James Buchanan, Harlan Danforth, Arthur Glueck, Daniel Harkins, Douglas Johnson, Richard McLaughlin, Lloyd Reed, George Strobel and Frank Taylor. McLaughlin's picture is missing. Qhe Catholic GWay of Zeing ct Soldier To those students of Bellarmine who are about to leave to join the armed forces may we give this message. You are going to become soldiers, good soldiers. But whether you have realized it or not you have always been soldiers. Perhaps not in a kahki or blue uniform, but you have been soldiers-soldiers of Christ. From the day of your baptism until the day you die you will always be soldiers and comrades of our Lord, Jesus Christ. iBeing a. member of our armed forces is a privilege and an honor. As a famed hero of this war wrote to his infant son, Be a good Catholic and you will always be a good soldier. But being a good Catholic and a good soldier is not an easy task. The war brings together many types of people, good and bad, people of all creeds and morals. There are as many temptations in the service as there are in civil life, and many more are added. . There are no atheists in foxholesu is true, but there are atheists in the camps and colleges, some may even be teachers or officers. Most of them are clever and are glib talkers. Avoid these characters entirely, as you are not yet prepared to argue with them. Just re- member that men of the same caliber have been trying to overthrow the Church with the same old line for 2000 years, and have never succeeded and never will. On active duty it will not be as convenient to go to Mass and Confession as it is in school. But try all the harder to make Mass and Communion. Those in the service never know when they will next need Christ-and desperately. Always be a good example to your comrades, there may be some ridicule thrown at you, but if only one soldier is added to Christ's army, it will be worth while. Labor as afgood soldier of Jesus Christ. II Tim. 2:3. Lloyd Reed George Strobel Frank Taylor Danny Danforth J Art Glueck DanAHarkins ' Doug Johnson Y, . L

Wielding a persuasive piece of timber Mr. Kelley, S. J., strode before the jam.-packed assembly. Gazing at the bludgeon he ex- plained the need for some organ- ization to help maintain order. The following rules have shown the Lions' Club to be capable of insuring the order it endorsed by submitting the following rules as a reminder. 1. To patrol and keep order in the halls in between class periods, e. g., to stop all running, fighting, whistling, shouting or any other dis- 0I'Cl6 Y. 3. To patrol the lavatory in between classes in order to stop all smoking and to maintain cleanliness and'order therein. 3. To patrol the halls and grounds and lavatory during the lunch hour and maintain becoming order and cleanliness in all these places. 4. To maintain order at all assemblies. 5. To keep the gym floor clear of students using street shoes thereon. 6. To usher, take tickets and maintain order at all the public events wherein Bellarmine is represented. 7. Toxbe ready at all times to be of assistance to the Principal and Faculty in whatever capacity the same shall designate. N. B.
