Sophs, The Cflioyalty-Cup Bearer By proving themselves the most outstanding classes of Bellarmine, the Sophomores have merited the well-earned title of The Champs of '44. They have built themselves into such a strong unit that opposition has only made them exert greater effort. Between the two sophomore classes there has been the strongest rivalry. The faculty will long remember their hard work and earnest faithfulness. Room I under the direction of Mr. Kelley, S. J., won the Loyalty Cup three times in succession. From there on Room 2, ably guided by Mr. Penna, S. J., took up the chal- lenge to emulate its close rival. In every enterprise there has resulted a class fight for the highest honors among the two sophomore rooms, Among many of their activities the Sophs contributed much time and effort in helping to keep the school in ship-shape condition. Room 2, by winning the Philoma- theo prize race won the right to the use of fISlO0.00 for some im- provement to the school. They bought new window shades for all the class rooms. Room I donated a marker for lining the football and baseball fields. These donations added to their zealous cooperation with every activity put on during the school year merit for the Sophs the well-earned title that has been given them. Congratulations, Sophs. Spirit Incorporated The two Junior classes, spurred on by their class presidents, Louie Renner and Jim McGoffin, have completed a very active and suc- cessful year. IO, have held a prominent rank for loyalty points throughout the school year. The two Junior class parties proved to be outstanding social events of the year. The first was an ice skating party and the second was -the Junior Prom, which was the final masterpiece and instilled a memory never to be forgotten in the minds of the departing seniors. Louie Renner, class president of Room IO, departed for the Jesuit Novitiate to study for the Priest- hood. Other members of the class will be called to the service of their country during the summer vacation. Jim Holt won a gold ring for taking top honors in the Senior Elocution contest. Also with other mcmbers of the Junior class he had a leading role in the play, What A Life. The leading part in the play, Arsenic and Old Lace, was held by another Junior, Gene Mack. Representing Bellarmine in the Se- attle oratorical contest was Jim McGoffin who, at a recent meet- ing, was elected the new Prefect for the Sodality. Representing the Junior class in the field of Debate was Jim Henriot. Other members of the class were active in various activities and events. OPHOMORES IRST ROW: Fairhurst, D.

A COUPLE OF NOTES In the world of Bellarmine mu- sic the glee club, under the emi- nent direction of Mr. John Thatcher, S. J., enjoyed a very well-lauded season. Singing both popular and classical selections, the club scored again and again at assemblies and outside engagements. Among the outside programs sung were several for the Knights of Columbus, the U.S.O. and the Holy Name men. The club also participated in the colorful and inspiring May devotions. Darrel Sanders headed the club as president, while Jack Erck was the Vice President. Elected to the post of Sec.-Treas. was Bernard Loonam, and filling the position of Sgt. at Arms, Was Dick Farrar. Mask and Dagger Club Score Successesg Sodality End Year I Fall and Spring Plays Landed by All Self-sacrifice, cooperation, talent and hard work may well describe the Mask G Dagger Club of this year and it is these traits which have led them through such a suc- cessful season. However, much praise and credit is due to their competent and exemplary director, Mr. William A. Keating, S. J. The first production of the year was the celebrated play entitled What A Life. In this play the players conducted themselves as veteran actors, giving two smash- ing performances before two large and pleased audiences. One radio play of the present Pope Pius XII, Man of the Era, was given over KTBI. While the Cage is going to press, another hit show, Arsenic and Old Lace, is rehearsing. The Mask 5' Dagger Club has combined skill and talent to make this one of the funniest and finest shows of the year. When the last curtain has fallen this year, the Mask E7 Dagger Club players may well smile, with a wide smile of satisfaction, for they have performed, worked land acted as only talented and true actors and comedians could. BUY STAMPS AND BONDS! Striv.ing for Better Catholic Liv- ing, the Sodality this year set a goal to be gained only through in- dividual domestic and social en- deavor. Inspired by Father Lynch, S. J., guided by Mr. Haniger, S. J., moderators respectively for the Sen- ior and Junior Sodalities, and led directly by Prefects Tom Bichsel and Jerry Driscoll. The primary end of the Sodality is the self-sanctification of its members and others. This was achieved through The Crusader of Rosaries, Sending of Pamphlets to the armed forces, Socials, helping the Alaskan Missions, Propagation of the Faith, enumerous talks of mercy and charity.

Lions' Club on Review As school draws to a close let us look in brief retrospect through the Lions' Club Diary and see the nine pages that are months unfold before us. September-Lions' Club takes new name. Knights are trans- formed to Lions. New elections. New members voted in. October-New constitutions written up and adopted. November-Lions' Club Touchdown Trot. Tremendous success, socially and financially. December-Club members begin sporting new Lion-heads on royal blue sweaters. Plans for expansion mulled over. January-The Lions' Club comes into its own.

March-Patrol system is proving quite a great help in maintain- ing order and cleanliness in the school. Lions help sell stamps to enable school to fly Minute Man flag. April-Lions' donate 540.00 to the Alaska Mission fund. May-Election of new officers for the coming year. Reserve Officers Tralnmg Corps The Reserve Officers Training Corps ends its course of instruction. From l935 to the present day, the Corps of cadets have always re- flected in themselves the pride, courtesy, and respect that a soldier and a student must have. The dis- cipline, ceremonies, drills,-all these Impress the youth of today, as it always has. Who can estimate the tremendous good done by the ROTC for the school and the individual student? To the alert student, ,the effect ROTC has on the pupils here is obvious. The respect for all peo- ple, whatever their station, the dis- cipline, the common habits of cour- tesy, lso often neglected in these det, helps him in his daily life. It is obvious that the man who has taken care to learn these basic ele- ments of human behaviour is wel- come anywhere in society. The stu- dents who have entered the service know what a help ROTC is to any- one in the military life. Almost all of the cadets will be serving their country soon. The excellent performance of the Competition Platoon at an an- nual athletic event, as 'well as at the Corps' Area inspection and the Mothers' Day Review, where deco- rations for individual merit were given, gave the general public a chance to see the individual act in such an organized unit.
