Two Scholarships Offered to Students This year, as in previous years the graduating seniors look for- ward to further education, wheth- er in the Army and Navy Special- ized courses, or in college. For those who are going to College on their own, two scholarships are being offered. Seattle College awards a, scholarship annually to the most promising senior student from many Catholic high schools in Washington, including Bellar- mine. The second scholarship is that offered by Pepsi-Cola. Here the seniors vote for the one most likely to succeed giving prefer- ence to those who would not be able to go without the aid of a scholarship. They will take a test and the two highest in the state will get scholarships. Pepsi-Cola offers the scholar- ship to any College in the state with 525.00 a month for expenses, besides a free trip home once each year. Qtaster Eastertide teaches us all a beneficial lesson. lt is a season of joy, peace, and gladness. For strange as it may seem, the happiness of this season naturally follows Lent, a period of sorrow. Yet more, unless sorrow had preceded it there would be no Easter. Many of are today feeling the bitterness of some per- manent or temporal loss in this war. Let us therefore recall the lesson of Easter, that the sorrow of today is but the guarantee of a greater joy tomorrow. ST. JOSEPH, PATRON OF LABOR ln Saint Joseph's life, one virtue stood out above all others, his simple yet dignified humility. He was especially selected by God to protect and care for the Blessed Mother and her Divine Son. And yet honorable as this position was, it did not earn him a life of ease. Toll and labor were his lot. Surely if God entrusted His divine Son to the care of a humble carpenter, labor is not beneath the dignity of any man. ln America we need to learn the dignity of humble service. God blesses labor done in his name. The three, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph lived a humble life of toil. From them, we can learn this valuable lesson, to work for the Greater Glory. of God.

Naval Academy at Annapolis. Basketball .Diary March 9-Lincoln 37, Bells 16 The final fray of this year's basketball season found both Lion and Abe coaches clearing their respective benches. Harrington, able guard, w-as high for the Bells, dropping in six points. Larry Trine, smooth and aggressive ball handler for the Bellarmine quin- tet, was elected captain of his team in this closing battle. Larry well deserved this coveted honor.I Feb. 13-Stadium 47, Bells 21 The Lions kept trying every minut-e of this contest but the 'Tigers' height proved to be the deciding factor. This factor ex- plains the few backboard recover- ies made by the Bellarmine five. Trine, guard, led the Bell hoop- sters with seven counters. Feb. 16-St. Mal-tin's 21, Bells 24 After exchanging the lead sev- eral times during this battle, the, Lion quintet emerged victorious! cver St. Martin's Prepsters. Har-E rington, Bell guard, sank eight? tallies, thereby leading the scor-, this season, the Lions eyelashed their ,way to victory over the Tornadoes from Yelm by a small but decisive margin of two tallies. The leading scorer for the Bells was Kropf with six points. Feb. 24-Sumner 19, Bells 26 Again the Lions avenge an early season defeat. After a 14-10 half- time lead, the Bellarmine team followed through with an easy victory. Kropf, Bell forward, and Luhtala, Spartan guard, shared scoring honrs with eight points each. Feb. 27-Stadium 30, Bells 18 I The Tiger splurge in the first quarter proved sufficient to assure , a Stadium win although the Lions actually outscored Stadium's Ti- gers in.the final three periods. Payne and Kropf, Bell forwards, each scored seven tallies. March 2-St. Martin's 18, Bells 27 The Lion hoopsters make it two in a row over St. Martin's. Start- ing slowly but gathering momen- tum after the half, the Bells led with nine points at the closing I I I I u i I I I l points.
