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. Takes over in the halls and on the grounds. New punitive system quite effective. , February-Basketball dance sponsored by Club after last Lin- coln game. Result-S30.00 richer and lots of fun. 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. One of the finest accomplish- ments of the year was the swift LIO-N STAFF '43-'44 FIRST ROW: Holt, D. Pfeiffer, P. lvanovich, Erck, B. Loonam, Beuzer, Henriot, Glassy. SECOND ROW: Goodman, P.

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.

Last year it held thirty-second place in the Corps Area Matches, at the la- test match Bellarmine's team won second place. Throughout the en- tire United States, Bellarmine's ROTC rifle team holds tenth place. To the cadet officers and non- commissioned officers, each cadet should be grateful. Under the able supervision of these students, the lessons that cadets have learned they will never forget. These offi- how to lead with other purpose of cers have also learned men, and get along leaders, the primary ROTC. And thus BeIlarmine's ROTC Battalion dismisses until the open- ing of school this fall. LION FULFILLS WARTIME DUTIESg SERVICE MEN WELCOME COPIES During the past year the Lion, the official organ of Bellarmine High School, has tried successfully to meet the requirements of a school paper at war. Student war activities and Bond Sales have play- ed an important part in the making of the paper. The Lion has also formed a happy and very appreciated link between our alumni who are now in the service and the old Alma Mater. Hundreds of letters have been re- ceived from these men expressing their gratitude for issues of the Lion that have been sent to them. The old staff of l943-I944 has worked hard to try and keep up the fine record established by form- er staffs. Also at this point it is only proper and fitting that words of extreme gratitude and appreci- ation should be expressed to Mr. S. D. Penna, S. J., for the unstinted effort he so generously gave in making the Lion bigger and' better. Sport Slants Although this year's edition of the Bell eleven didn't add another trophy to their shelves, they did give many a headache to opposing teams and coaches. The passing duo, Mar- tineau to Hermsen, gave rival play- ers plenty of sweat and tears. Barnes, Farrell and Renner were the stone- wall defense men in the line. Credit should be given to those men who consistently turned out all year, but weren't quite good enough to make the grade-to Jack Erck a couple of Purple Hearts, to Van Rooy a re- tread lway down underl, and to Jack Huston anythin we've got left. An overall synopsis of the basket- ball season finds the Bell quintet some thirty points to the good. One of the highest prep scores ever to be run up in this city was spurred by the veterans, Martineau and Hermsen over Gig Harbor. With many returning lettermen to build a nucleus for next year's squad, the outlook seems very promising. The baseball squad is supplying a strengthening blood transfusion to the spirit of Bellarmine. Their sweet 6-5 triumph over Lincoln was the first victory over that school by any Bell athletic team in over three years.
