PAGE FOUR THE LION . NOVEMBER, 1943 Airplane Engine Obtained The Aeronautics Class recently received a large radial aircraft engine. This power plant was at one time mounted in the wing of a bomber which was destroyed in a crash. The engine was damaged so as to have no further military value. When in perfect working condi- tion, this engine developed over 1200 horsepower. The cylinders are arranged about a central shaft, radiating outwards like the spokes of a wheel. The dry weight of the complete motor is over M ton. It is about eight feet in length and stands about four feet high. Most of the damage was caused by the shock of impact, which broke many parts and threw the entire en- gine out of adjustment. Fire de- stroyed the accessories, parts of the induction system and part of the magnesium alloy accessory housing' The engine was procured from the Army for purposes of instruc- tion. Following the completion of a metal stand to support it, Mr. R. Chott, S. J., Aeronautical In- structor, will use it for demonstra- tion purposes.

I still remember how excited I was the few days before I had to go down to the induction station. There's no use to worry, Bud. Just make sure you report where they tell you to and be on timeg this man's Army doesn't go for anybody be- ing A.W.O.L.-Absent without Leave to you, Private Jones. You'1l get a free bus ride to and from the induction station and they give you a free lunch there. Besides, you stay there only the one day-so all you have to bring along is yourself. There's a pretty useful record your school can give you-the Educational Experience Summary Card. Be sure to bring it along. Q They'1l ask you a few questions for their records-Are you a member of any Reserve Corps? Do you have a criminal record? Were you ever dishonorably discharged from the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard? Just grin and bear itg it's the Army way, my lad. And, oh yes, you get fingerprlnted, for identification purposes. Then the offi- cer in charge gives you a pep talk on what lt's all about. After that, the doctors get hold of you-better wash behind your ears so -you won't be embarrassed. A healthy guy like you will likely pass the medical with flying colors-and the next thing you know you'll be standing in line with a bunch of other fellows, your right hand raised, and repeating the oath. That's the works, Bud-easy enough, eh? There are two important questions they're going to ask you: One is whether you want to join the Army, the Navy, the Marines, or the Coast Guard. I suppose you've got your branch of the service all. picked out. You have a 50-50 chance of being sent where you ask to go, depending, of course, upon where the officers who interview you think they can use you best. The other question that's important is Whether you wantto go into the -Enlisted Reserve Corps. If you say no, you will be sent right along to an Army reception center or a Navy training center, depend- ing upon which branch of the service you enter. If you say yes, you're entitled to 21 days inactive duty if you go to the Army or '7 days if you go to the Navy. You can use this period of inactive duty to go home, if you like. Well, got to get back to my squad. Let me know how you make out at the induction station. Don't forget, once you're sworn in you'll be representing the Jones family in the armed forces-but don't try to get into the movies at reduced prices until they give you your uniform. You're not really in the service until then. Give my love to the family-that's an order from a superior officer. At ease, now, Private Jones. TOM. Result-Seniors of Room 6 pur- chased most Bonds fFr.

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. You'l1 see some of the greatest names in history. There'll be Martineau, the Frenchman halfback who invented the pass. You'll wonder at Louie Renner as his broad shoulders rumble with rhythm. Get in the groove. Informal is the dress. We've got the best Knot band but? orchestra in the land. Hall Gil- lette's Merry Makers are the lucky lads. Dance to the tunes you'1l never forget even though people will say you're in love. November 27th is the appointed night so don't wait-get your date! Where? Bellarmine's gorgeously decorated gym. 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. The prayers and fine cooperation of the Bellarmine student body was highly appreci- ated.

This will be the first Catholic Press Conference to be held in this region at Bellarm ine. This meeting is the outgrowth of the first Catholic Press gathering which took place at St. Leo's last year. '5' At a business meeting held at INTERNATIONAL FIRST HONORS AWARDED BY QUILL 81 SCROLL Little do most people realize the pains and troubles one encounters in the editing of a school paper. There are deep, despair-filled chasms lurcking everywhere. It is the staunch work and energy displayed by the staff of a paper which enables them to bridge these gaps and' accomplish their end. A school can have a paper in name or just a symbol walking as a dead figurehead. There is also the paper which effects the lives and circumstances surrounding the school. It can be the silent partners of your educational back- ground or it may prove to be the active stimulant which enlightens the school and proves to be a pas- time for its students. H Bellarmine High School has re- ceived the answer to that haunting question after receiving a congrat- ulatory letter from the Quill and Scroll.. It has proudly announced that the Lion has performed outstanding achievements in the literary world. Thus the Inter- national First Place Award has been bestowed upon the school paper. Truly the graduated staff mem- bers .of last year's Lion can be proud of the distinction which they helped the Lion'l to achieve. What better tribute can be made to these alumni than that presented by the International Quill and Scroll Association. WINTER PLAY ANNOUNCED During the last week tryouts for the Winter comedy, What a Life, have been held, and re- hearsals are scheduled-to begin on Monday, October 25. The date for production has not been set, but it will be early in December. Over fifty students tried for parts in this sparkling comedy, which is the original Henry Aldrich play of a few seasons past. This year, due to gas rationing and other causes, rehearsals Will be held in the afternoon. This means that many who would like-to par- ticipate have been unable to do so. However, there will be an- other opportunity when rehearsals begin for the Spring play. The play is being directed and produced by Mr. Keating, Moder- ator of the MASK 8: DAGGER Club. The first meeting of the year was held a week ago, and plans were made for the coming Pep Rallies preceeding games. In the future, these rallies will be con- ducted by the Mask and Dagger Club.
