fdemocratic, for militarism has as its basis absolute PAGE Two 1- H 5 LION April, 1945 Thanks to the Lion Staff The underlying motive behind all school papers is to provide a fitting representation of the school's activities. Critical surveys given to the Lion reveal that its timeli- ness on news events and war coverage were excellent. The Lion came through another year of publication still abbreviated in size but increase of numbers as the mailing list now registers 659. A debt of thanks is given to all those on the Lioh staff who have made it possible to print a monthly issue. A special note of thanks, however, is given to Room 1 whose diligent task it has been during their activity period to fold, stick the addresses and stamps on all the out- going copies of the Lion. Peace -Time Conscription . In the February issue of The Sign, XVilfrid Parsons, S. J., says: . . . the Holy See has come to the conclusion that at present democratic government is the only one that can assure peaceful living and domestic justice. Americans ought to know this, for they have been reap- ing the benefits of their democratic republic since 1789. The words of Pius XII ought then to sound the alert forall thinking Americans to be on their toes about the May-Bill providing post-war military conscription of all American boys at the age of seventeen or on the comple- tion of ,high school. Germany, the aggressor- nation of the world, was the first to use peace-time conscription. All the energy con- centrated in her huge armies needed an outlet, and Germany used her power to launch a series of bloody wars-. If America really wins the war, why should she need a large peace-time army? It is hard to see how a militaristic country can be obedience, with no consideration for the will of the majority. A huge peace-time army would mean the sacrificing of many principles and the casting aside of numerous small liberties, plus the inculcating of a decided liking for strong-armgovernment. Do we intend to look on indifferently and allow our lawmakers to yoke the U. S. A. to a burden which may mean the end of democracy? Sodality Leads Activitiesg New Junior Officers Elected During the month of March, the Bellarmine Sodality acted as a spearhead in the annual Alaskan Mission Fund Drive. Since March was in the middle 'of the Lenten season and the boys sacrificed and gave willingly, the drive was very successful. During the season of Lent, Mass was offered every morning in the school,Chapel at 8:00 A. M. by Fr. J. Lynch, S. J., Spiritual Ad- viser. Although only a few at- tended in the first few days, the number was gradually increased. On April 13, the Bellarmine So- dality' sent five representatives to the Statewide Convention held at Seattle. Those chosen to attend were: Tom Payne, Doug Dyck- rnan, Jack Harrington, Leo Rink, and Frank Loonam. As in previous years, daily ser- vices' will be held in the month of May in front of the statue of Our Lady at the activity period. The Litany and various hymns dedicated to Mary will be sung by the student body, assisted by the Glee Club. Following this a short recitation will be given by the students on the different titles given to Mary in the Litany. Last week the officers of the Junior Sodality were elected. Pat, O'Leary was elected president 5 Bob Schreiner, vice president: -Paul George, secretary: and Joe Retal- lick, treastuer.

Students Aid War Effort by Working Answering the call of our coun- try's manpower shortage, many Bellarmine students have been aiding the war effort by working after school. Among them are: Jack Hreda, a shipfitter at the shipyardsg Jack Mitchell, a meat cutter at Washbrom's Marketg Don Messo is a doorman at the Rivierag Jim Simpson has been occupying his time as an office boy at the News Tribune while John Bucovaz has been piling boards at the Monarch Door Com- pany: Tony Zajac is a clerk at Michael Brothers' Drug Store: Leonard Goralski has been sort- ing clothes at the Tacoma Laun- dryg Emil Grubisa is a truck driver for the Selden's Company.

Andy Litwin is milking cows on his farm: Pete Marinkovlch has been trying to deliver groceries from 'Su1livan's Marketg Dave Charest is a tire repairman at Oliver Tire Shopg Dave Hebert has been working for the park board at Wapato Park: Joe Smith has been -taking it easy at the Northwest Door Company.

They're doing a grand job over on the fronts, and when they receive a letter from one of their dear old classmates it not only builds -and strengthens their morale but is a joy to them to know that they are still remembered at Bellarmine. Al Kase has spent some months with the Infantry in the Euro- pean sector. Frank Reding, was home on a furlough after 26 months in the Asiatic Pacific theatre with the Army Coast Artillery Corps. Jim Moriarty is now in Wash- ington, D. C., at the American University taking a course in ad- vanced Military Training. Don Pessemier got his first 1 taste of combat duty and is will- ing to admit as are the others that Sherman was right concern- ing war. 1st Lt. Thomas Smeall CDoctorJ recently paid his respects to some of his former teachers before leav- ing for combat area. Tom West who is in the Army Medical Program at St. Louis, Mo., was married last month. 2nd Lt. J. Biukhouse, back from overseas duty, was married last Saturday at Visitation Church, Tacoma.

J., assisted by those mighty frosh, Allan Cush- ing, Chuck Kelly, Remon Paren- teau, Jim McPhail, and Dick Riv- ers. Upon entering the inner sanc- tum we see little Chuck Kelly and the rest of the workers feeding the hungry hordes with a speed that will amaze a P-38 pilot. The meals served at the cafeteria consist of hamburgers, hot dogs, pop, milkshakes and pastry, all sold at a very reasonable price. Library Reports On Best Sellers In the past few months the library has been doing a rushing business under the eagle-eye su- pervision of Mr. W. Laney, S. J., librarian. Among those books which rank first in popularity, adventure books such as Paris Underground, Sea Wolf, and Jungle River hold first place. The runner-up is the Cath- olic Encyclopedia, especially among the freshmen. The seniors are still clamoring for the classics which rank third, and Washington .State History holds fourth place. The periodicals which are one of the feature attractions are al- ways welcomed by the students. Debate Club Prepares Mock Trial The Debate Club will depart from usual procedure when it cre- ates a mock coiutroom scene, and puts on trial Peacetime Military Training. The defenders will be charged with being undesirable aliens working against American Push- one of principles and institutions. ing this accusation will be the club members acting United States Prosecuting ney.

A jury, composed of club members, will render the decision, which, if guilty, carries with it the penalty of life-time banishment. V A judge, and court clerk to swear in the witnesses, will also be on hand. Although no one has been chos- en to participate, many have shown eagerness to take part.

Audience Acclaims 6Career Angel' Success After three tremendously suc- cessful performances which left audiences acclaiming it as one of the finest modern productions of the Mask and Dagger Club, Career Angel rang down its curtain. The play, the first opus attempt- ed by the Bellarmine thespians this year, under the direction of Fr. Evoy and assisted by Fr. Weissenberg, played April 15 and 16 to overflowing a.udiences who filled the St. Leo's auditoriiun to standing capacity. Much praise is given to Frank Shappee and Kenneth Galbraith, who took the part of Brother Seraphim. Backstage congratula- tions are given to the Production Personnel for their excellent work of assembling a, difficult set, and giving their time so freely. Generous praise also came the way of the Freshmen who handled their parts with capability and deftness which belied their inex- perience. Donald Schultz and Jim Gillies, who took the role of the Angel, received their share of acclaim, since-the portrayal of the Angel's pseudo-presence was one of the most difficult problems of the per- formance. Mother's Day Program fContinued from Page ll Mary Hinckley as Treasurer. Following the breakfast the guests willassemble on the parade grounds for an inspection of the reviewing Bellarmine Junior ROTC battalion at 11:15 a. m.
