1945 BELLARMINE RIFLE CLUB TEACHES MARKSMANSHIP The Bellarmine Rifle Club lost several excellent riflemen bygraduation and conscription in l944, but it was blessed by a large number of new members. The purpose of the Club: to train boys in the proper use of firearms and in marksmanship, was fulfilled by the train- ing of fifty boys in fundamentals and over twenty in the advanced course. Three matches with other schools have been held, 'with one win. Although not victorious, the members of the various teams did very well in the national matches. Lions' Fighting Spirit Predominates in Sports Another year in athletics ended with the current baseball team. We are looking forward to the coming year, not with a feeling of despair, but with the inspira- tion of hope. The Bell eleven had been a typical one, small' but gritty. Perhaps the most remarkable event was the long drive which ended only yards from paydirt against the then unscored on Lincoln club. This was an example of what teamwork and the Bellarmine Fight could do with little or no material. After a rather slow start, the underestimated hoop team took on new life. Two heartbreakers were lost to the more experienced Lincoln five by one and three. points in the closing minutes of the contests. Bell rooters already seie dreams of tournament teams in the offing. As many of us often forget, sports are for the betterment of the individual's own character. Thus far, in the history of the school, athletics have achieved their purpose. Mask QQ Dagger Club Scores Successg Spring Play Landed by All Although the Mask and Dagger Club sponsored only one play ths year, it was a great success. Fr. Evoy, director of the play, used the novel system of employing a double cast for the hit comedy Career Angel. Everyone of the dramatists worked long and earnestly to make this show one of the best ever produced by the club. Their efforts were rewarded by the response of the public. Over fourteen hundred people attended the public performances of the show, and everyone had praise for both casts, who alternated in their parts, one group taking the first night, and the other the next. Quill 81 Scroll Initiate Ten New Members ln keeping with annual school tradition, the new members of the Quill and Scroll honor journalistic society, Fr. David P. McAstocker Chapter, were initiated into the organization in a big and gala way. The dinner was held at the home of Bert Goodman, the retiring president of the chapter.

The new initiates were Bob Erickson, Joe Zajac, Jim Gaines, Rudy Knabel, Ed Raitano, Bob Gosselin, Frank Lonam, Henry Burke, Henry Hellenkamp, and George Bader.
