PAGE 'rwo 1- H E LION OCTOBER, 1943 CATHOLIC EDUCATION Education is the biggest business in the United States. No business engages more people or expends more money. It is at the same time the most important profession because it trains the future citizens of our country. The school room is of far more value to our nation than the factories of the steel and automobile industries. And precisely because of its im- portance and its value, education should be clearly understood by the fathers and mothers of our students. I Education is the development of boys into manhood. This is a very general definition of education, and is common to every type ofischool and to every manner of education. Clearly, the definition must be more specific, more definite to enable fathers and mothers to understand the development the school is trying to accomplish. I The kind of education given to a child is determined entirely and eirclusively by the philosophy of life of those who educate the child. By a person's philosophy of life is meant his view in regard to the nature and purpose of man, of the state, and of the Church. The views of the educator on these important questions will determine with exactness his program of edu-cation. Pagan teachers will- give the students a godless education: Catholic teachers will give your child an education in which God is the center of all things. The entire program of education in any school system is influenced and determined by the views of life held by those who are in charge of instruction. The whole program of Catholic education is dominantly Catholic, essentially super- natural. lt must be, it has to be, because it is based on the Catholic philosophy of life. Catholic education is always mindful of the supernatural end of man: it places before the boy the things that he must believe-THE CREED, the things that he must do--THE COMMANDMENTS, and the means that will enable him to BELIEVE and to DO-PRAYER AND THE SACRA- MENTS. In a word, Catholic education if to be worthy of the name-is essentially bound up in God and in man's relation to Him. All Catholics agree in defining education as the physical, intellectual, and moral development of the man-and these three developments are listed in the ascending 'order of im- portance. Unless a boy be trained to be a good man, his education is not education in the true sense of the word: it is a failure. i,.... .. Why the School Paper A high school paper knits the school together. It encour- ages each activity and fosters pride in achievementg whether it be a failing Sodality, a. dying athletic team, or'the lack of school spirit, or the initial performance of any club, the right kind of student paper encourages, enlivens,'a.nd revivifies each school department. All these become alive in the school paper. The spirit of the school should be the spirit of the publication. It counsels the students by being a might help for the enforcement of school discipline. If there be a growing spirit of dishonesty or small matters of rowdyismg if certain teachers are the butt of student jokesg if the enforcement of rule has become a matter of jest-then the ,publication organ can do a great deal to bring about harmony and the enforcement of law. To those who are interested in journalism it gives straight start in correct writing, it teaches them to cultivate a nose for news, and it helps to improve the English of the entire class by furnishing motivation for composition, and by showing the necessity for clean, concise, truthful writing. Sodality Convenes October, dedicated to Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, has been filled by Her Sodality with much spiritual activity. On the First Friday, the Mass, at the request of Prefect Tom Bichsel, was offered for those Bel- larmine Alumni who are now in the service. A living Rosary was recited on the following Tuesday by both the Senior and Junior Sodality. This inspiring ceremony was held in the gym, before the entire Student Body. Vice-Prefect Vince Beuzer opened the prayer with an expla- nation, and requested each Stu- dent to say at least five Rosaries during the month of October for the temporal and spiritual welfare of Bellarmine boys now defending om' coiuitry. The meeting on Tuesday, Octo- ber 12, discussed the merit system. Lion Joins C. S. P. A. In the early part of October Bellarmine's High School Paper, the Lion, joined the Catholic School Press Association. This association was founded in 19313 today it presents a united front of the largest part of the Catholic School 'Press of America. In the thirteen years of its exist- ence the Catholic School Press Association has sought to encour- age interest in the Catholic Press, to promote the Spirit of Catholi- cism in Catholic school publica- tion, and to study the function of the press to better use its great power in the service of the Church. In order to accomplish this the association carries out the follow- ing activities: bi-annual criticism of the publications in the associ- ationg publication of a quarterly magazine called the Catholic School Editorg conferring on all worthy publications the honor- ary title of All Catholic g award- ing of the Pin or Key to students who do outstanding work. Poem of the week: Recited by Jerry Knelleken during the Foster High football game: Hi diddle diddle, Here I come through the middle. V. Beuzer: Which is bigger, Mr. Bigger or Mr. Bigger's baby? J. Garitone: The baby is a little bigger. LIMELI GH T These Cards are bound to win. t Hm-m, very enlightening in- deed, mutters an interested teach- er as he silently tingles with the suspicious words.J Don't you know I'm a cinch to win from you. These Cards ,always repeat, only they get better every time. Well now, this is too much I'll have to look into this atrocious display of boldness. To think that they would dare gamble under our very noses. Cautiously the scho- lastic sidles slowly, silently, across the open space and slyly sides into a well-camouflaged po- sition behind the boys. The con- versation becomes heated and more and more perturbs the inner sanc- tum of this suspecting scholastic. Finally his temper gets the better of him. Mmph! what are you boys doing? shouts the scholastic as his voice trails off into a con- centrated glare. Don't tell me, I know. Hasn't it ever dawned up- on you men that gambling is most certainly not permitted on the Bellarmine premises. But, but, Father-we were-. Don't tell me, I'm on to your tricks. Gosh, Father they. were only trying to tell you that they were arguing about who was going to win the World Series. What did the raindrop say to the Kitty? How do you like the drizzle, Puss? What did the fawn say to the doe? Do you think it will reindeer? The Lion Published monthly during the school year by the students of Bellarmine High School, Tacoma, Wash.

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.

Reserves The Lion Reserves opened the 1943 football season with a 12-6 victory over the Stadium Sophs on Sept. 25th. The Lions made both of their touchdowns in the first half, but the Tigers came back strongly in the second half and scored. ed scoreless for neither team was able to cross the goal although the Lynx were in scoring position twice. In the first half they reached the five yard line, and to the fifteen in the second. On Sept. 30 the Stadium'Reserves played the Bells and defeated them 47-0. Regardless what the Stadium World says, it was the Bell's Sophs, not the Varsity Re- serves, who played the Stadium Reserves. On Oct. 11 the Lincoln Reserves defeated the Lions largely by means of superior power and num- ber. Although the Bells fought hard and gamely, the experience of the bigger team made the out- come of the game certain. So Proudly We Hail While enjoying one of our col- orful football games, we suggest that for a keener enjoyment, you keep your eye on our defensive lineg and especially on a No. 41. Invaribly you will see 41 crash through the line and break up the play, if he himself does not make the crushing tackle. This starting guard on our team is Louie Renner, a Junior. A quiet lad, with a disarming smile for everyone, and an overdose of in- testinal fortitude. Louie is a good student as Well as a remarkable football player. This combination gave him im- mediate entree to the Lions. To the boys at large, he seems bash- ful, but his friends have found him a regular fellow. If a big league scout by chance reads this article and doesn't take it to heart, he'll have plenty of trouble in the future speculating and wondering where all our star players came from. Will we? I'1l say not. Not with a cub roster of freshmen spark-plugs like this: Ed. Carreau, Jim Christnacht, Bob Clark, Frank Cline, Jim Collins, Don Cayne, Frank Fontana, Jim Freeman, Billy Galbraith, Jim Hermsen, Joe Jurin, Dick Kretch- mer, Bob Ludeman, Joe McAllister, Bob Monaghan, Bill O'Leary, Tom. O'Leary, John Paglia, A1 and Don Patnode, Don Pfeiffer, Bob Robin- son, Chestey Russel, Frank Shap p ee, Rufus Theriault, Paul Tonan and Doug Sullivan. These spirited frosh have won 3 and lost 1 for a pretty good aver- age so far this season. The score of their tussels: St. Leo 0, Bells 345 St. Patrick's 0, Bells 545 Jason Lee 13, Bells 02 Holy Rosary 7, Bells 45. Let's give a cheer for the fresh- men and hope that their loyalty and spirit will permeate the whole student body. Fr. Harringtori is the coach.. Distinguished Portraits SMITH, INC. 753 Broadway BR.
