It is hoped that in this year of terrible war and strife that Thanksgiving and that for which it really stands, will be returned to its rightful place in the heart of' every American. By that is meant that the habit of thanking God for what has been received will be revived over the supercilious, commercial meaning that has been attached to this holiday in recent years. We seem to forget just what the word Thanksgiving really means. Our people have been spared the unmerciful shattering of high explosives on their homes and churches. They have been spared the heart-rending sight of seeing their children starve before their eyes. Still the best clothed and the best fed nation on the earth, we, Americans, have great cause to thank Almighty God on this Thanksgiving Day. As our noble forefathers humbly raised their heads in a prayer of thanks, so let us do the same that God will continue to be abundant in spreading His grace and mercy on this home of ours, on this our country, America. UNSUNG HEROES AT BATAAN 'Alt was that last week we spent on Bataan. It was sleep- less nights filled with the horrors of hell. I had a buddy who was killed in that battle. I don't know but I guess it was something he said that keeps repeatin' itself. We were laying in a slit trench and he began to talk about home and just what we were fighting for. Then, it's funny I guess, but We began to talk about religion and the life beyond when he turned and after gazing at the dead soldiers lying on the field murmured something I'll never forget. He turned toward me and with an expression of deep seriousness sofetly said: 'You know Jim, a lot of fellows came into this Army cursing God and their faith. But since .wefue been here, with death staring a guy in the face, a person seems to- re- member the things he learned in Sunday School. THERE ARE NO ATHEISTS IN FOXHOLES, JIM.' The next day that forgotten soldier was killed when he and his squad stumbled into a machine-gun nest. Today people are all talking about a post-war peace. But they always forget the ONE those boys prayed to at Bataan. They forget what we are fighting for. IF THERE ARE NO ATHEISTS IN FOXHOLES WHY SHOULD THERE BE ATHEISTS AT THE PEACE TABLE? 1IlZA.l'QlIQlIl1IDN IIEXIZIIHIAN IIZIE FOOD FOR.

The conference was opened at 9:00 A. M. with Holy Mass in the Chapel, which was immediately followed by registration. A general assembly was then held in the Study Hall to welcome the partici- pants. Bernard Loonam, Lion Edi- tor, extended greetings and intro- duced Mr. S. D. Penna, S. J., chair- man of the conference. At the close of the assembly the Editorial, Business and Humor conferences were held. The next conferences discussed the News and Features, Art, and Sports ends of writing. 'Problems in these fields of reporting and possible remedies were considered. A delicious luncheon was served by some of the Freshmen of Room 5 in the school cafeteria at 1:00 P. M. Speakers for the occasion were Rev. Fr. H. Schultheis, S. J., Rector of Bellarmine, Fr. L. B. Fink, S. J., Principal, and Sister M. Eunice, O. S. F., principal of St. Leo's. The guest speaker 'at the after- noon assembly was Mr. E. W. Morton, S. J., Dean of the Edu- cation Department at Gonzaga University.

Through the courtesy of the office, the ROTC promotions have just' been released to the Lion. To those who have gained these new distinctions, we say congratulations. The ROTC has been for some years an outstanding feature in Bellarmine's curriculum. Well thought of by the students, and highly praised by the faculty, the ROTC has truly been a great asset to the school. The ROTC teaching basic Army training has been praised by the Alumni of Bellarmine who are now serving in the armed forces. Sev- eral times the Demonstration Platoon of the Corps has represented the school in the Daffodil Parade, Grid-Go-Round, and other festivi- ties, adding to the glory of Bellarmine. But why linger, here is the good news to head the list: Officers To Be Cadet lst Lieutenant 'To Be Cadet Captain Cadet Charles E. Toynbee, Bat- Cadet John C.

Through the office of the Prin- cipal rush the characters of this Winsome comedy. The teachers, with their worries and cares, their plans and projects, will be acted by John Maddock, Bernie Loonam, Gene Mack and Dave Harrigan. Ruling this faculty is Bob Bresko- vich, the stately Principal, assisted by the young and defender-of-the- underdog, Dave Peterson. The too efficient registrar and secretary, curt and caustic, is Bill Van Rooy. A touch of local color is brought in by students Ted Mclntire, Don -Pfeiffer, Bill Galbraith, Don D'- Andrea and others. And Ed Wal- entiny plays the hard city dick. A paternal touch is added by Bud Greco and Pete Marinkovich. The director, Mr. Wm. A. Keat- ing, S. J., has announced that the proceeds of the play will be used to purchase new and much needed suits for th'e basketball team. He estimates that almost five hundred dollars will be necessary in order to outfit our team in a flashy bril- liant blue satin for the coming maple court season. This means that each class MUST sell fifty dollars worth of tickets. Admission is fifty cents plus tax. CLASS PRESIDENTS 1943-44 JIM BUCHANAN Lowe RENNER O JIM MCGOFPIN A TOM HANDLEY

PAGE THREE THE LION NOVEMBER, 1943 LIONS TO MAUL PANTHERS Hoping to terminate the 1943 season with an even .500 percent- age, Coach John Kelley and his Lions embark today for Seattle to play their traditional rival, Seattle Prep. The oft beaten Panther team, with but a lone win and a tie on its 1943 escutcheon, is still potentially strong. A victory over Bellarmine will do much to sal- vage some glory from the ship- wreck of a disappointing season. Titanic Sherman, the state's fore- most tackle is the starch that stiffens the Prep defense. To slip by him, the Lions may resort to a wide running game, umbrellaed with an aerial attack, strategy which has proved effective in split- ting open other formidable de- fenses this season. In today's game 16 seniors make their final appearance for Bellar- mine on the gridiron: Barnes, Bichsel, Erck, Farrell, Felts, Herm- sen, Huston, Loonam, Manley, Martineau, O'Brien, Peterson, Reed, Sanders, Taylor and Van Rooy. None o-f these seniors have ever seen defeat at the hands of Prep gridsters. In 1941, the score was 12-12. Last year, Coach Mr, Toner piloted the Lions to a de- cisive 13-0 triumph. Lions Defeated In Toughest Game In a wet and muddy Stadium Bowl, the Bellarmine Lions were defeated by Stadium's Tigers, 13 to 0. The Bells were expected to resort to an aerial attack but be- cause of inclement weather, were grounded. The game was even, and some fp --------AAA--------- - I!

It was during this half that the Lions made two distinct threats. Undoubtedly, this was the Lions' best performance so far this seas- on. Gerry Knelleken again played outstanding ball, along with Bud Barnes, Jim McGoffin and La- Verne Martineau. Injuries took a telling toll on both teams. Martineau's passing was hindered by a broken finger, and Darrell Sander's eyesight im- paired by a blow on the head. O'DEA STUMBLES OVER LIONS In a hard fought tussle on Be1larmine's home field, a power- ful O'Dea team trounced the Lions 26 to 6. 'Conslderably outweighed but not outfought, the diminutive Lions halted an O'Dea march on their own three yard line, and held for three downs. In the closing minutes of the fourth period, Bel- larmine scored on a pass from Martineau to Herrnsen in the flat. Bill Courage stood out for the Irish while Gerry Knelleken was the key man in our defense. Walt Haniger suffered a con- cussion which has lost him to us for the remainder of the season. Men-Month Hard working, energetic, and bashful are the words best 'suited to describe this brown-haired Senior. Although he entered Bellarmine in his Junior year he has become one of the most popular boys at school. He is the President of the Senior Class, member of the Lion's Club and on the Student. Council. There is not much that he likes better than to listen to his favor- ite orchestra, Glen Miller's, es- pecially when he has a big plate of fried chicken in front of him. This fellow will graduate in Jan- uaryg after that the future is un- certain -for him, but Uncle Sam probably knows the answer. Jim says lie is going to try to join the Navy through the V-12 Program. Yes, our subject is Jimmy Bu- chanan. Jim McGoffin, a snappy bright boy who has been a leader since he came to school. Jim, better known as McGoof, belongs to the Lions' Club of which he is the sergeant at arms. He is also the Sports Editor of the Lion Staff, a member of the varsity football team, Class President of Room 9, and an active member of the So- dality. A real lion, keep growling. Lions' Club Sponsors Football Dance It's big. It's colossal. It's gi- gantic. Everybody's happy so shake out the blues and make with the feet. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, everyone is invited.

Money? A trifling item. Thanks In behalf of the four students of Bellarmine who were lost in the woods for several days, Louie Ren- ner Wishes to express thanks and gratitude. The four lost from Oct. 17 to 19 inclusive were: Paul Zele- nak, a senior, Louie Renner, a junior, Dick Renner, and Arnie Cramer, sophs.
