Oliver Glassy was chos- en best speaker by the judges in three out of four decision debates and thus proved himself to be -one of the state's outstanding debaters. Jim Henriot and Pat Maloney also distinguished them- selves by their creditable speak- ing. The Bell debaters divided the honors with Gonzaga, winning on the negative side and losing on the affirmative side. These debates were the two most interesting debates of the season for the Bel- larmine team. The Bell team also lost two close decisions to the Marycliff girls, Spokane City Champions. A debate with Lewis and Clark was non-decision. The debaters left February 28 and re- turned March 4. 1 l brother, is in the Store Crew, Ships Company, in San' Bruno, Calif. We heard Cpl.

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.

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.

DOUGLAS CT Sergeant Harold C. Douglas, who has been serving on Bellarmine's ROTC staff for the past two years, is to be transferred and will be relieved by Sergeant Charles A. Crockett. Sergeant Douglas re- ceived his transfer orders last week and, will leave as soon as Sgt. Crockett is prepared to take over. 'I'he departure of Sgt. Douglas will be regretted by his many friends. at Bellarmine who know the fine work he did while sta- tioned here. His diligenoe helped greatly to bring Bellarmine's ROTC unit to the classification of Excel- lent. The Rifle team also owes its high rating in part to his hard work. Sgt. Douglas' work here has been a continuation of an excel- lent service record since his en- listment in 1937, and his friends here are confident that he will be just as energetic and successful in whatever new assignment may await him. Sgt. Crockett who replaces Sgt. Douglas enlisted in the army in 1934 and has seen service at many posts. After a brief period at Fort Douglas, Utah, he served for -al- most two years With the 21st In- fantry in Hawaii. Then, after six months in the Third Division, M. lContinued on Page -0 New Classes, and Changes Introducedg ROTC to Have Two Periods With the opening of the new semester, six new classes and new changes were introduced in the regular schedule. T'hree of the new classes that were started were German, Trigonometry, and Jour- nalism. The new German class has only two students. Because of the large number of new students, a 9B Freshman class was started. Captain Daw- son announced that the second and third year ROTC will take their training in the sixth period instead of the usual fourth period thereby dividing it into two sepa- rate groups with the first year students still continui.ng'with the regular schedule. This is only to be effective in the first half of the second semester. Although quite a few seniors were lost at the end of the first semester ,to the armed forces, lt was balanced by the enrollment of eight new students: Mike Brands, Tony Jezek, John. Kreisman, Ro- land Sheets, John Lawson, Roland Brower, and Robert Karch. For those seniors who are left, there is now one class in Science, Eng- msn, and Mathematics. 'Career Angel' Cast To Be Announced Mothers of Service Men 1 To Be Honored At its monthly meeting on March 13 the Philomathea. Club will hon- or the mothers of the Bellarmine boys serving in our Armed Forces. The meeting will be held in the school library at 1:00 P. M. For this occasion the Service Flag with the Honor Roll of Bellar- mine boys in the services will be on display in the meeting hall. It is also hoped to have a guest speaker from one of the services to welcome and honor the mothers of our servicemen. Last year's meeting drew a large attendance and was thoroughly enjoyed by those present. The Philomathea mothers hope that all the mothers of our many alum- ni will attend this yea.r's meeting. To facilitate their trip, cars will meet the busses at Union and Center and at Union and 12th to escort them to the school. Senior Staff Begins Work on Cage The Bellarmlne annual, the Cage, will be staffed this year by seniors who formerly worked on the Lion. Plans have already been laid and preliminary work begun. The staff consists of: Bert Goodman, Editor in chief: Henriot, Associate: Ed Graisy Bob Erickson, Assistant Edi- Jim Gaines and Dick- Ban- Jim and torsg non, Feature Editors: Joe Zajac 1 Rudy Knabel, Circulation and Managers. The faculty adviser is Mr. S. D. Penna, S. J. IN MEMORJAM The Faculty and students of Bellarmine High School wish to express their sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. J. Karamon and Mr. and Mrs. H. Cressey upon the death of their sons who were killed in action. - May their souls rest in peace. Here is news for all who aspire to be actors. Again this year the Mask and Dagger Club of Bellar- mine will present their annual spring play. The play is entitled Career Angel. This comedy- fantasy was produced by the Blackfriar Guild in New York and during the past season had a successful run on Broadway. This play should be of special interest to Catholic groups for the plot is centered around a Catholic boys' orphan's home. Although pre- dominantly comic in spirit, it is a tender and understanding fantasy, designed to show that faith can move mountains. Fr. J. Evoy, S. J., will direct the cast. He will be assisted by Fr. P. Weissenberg, S. J., and by Mr. S. Penna, S. J., who will act as Business Manager. Those students who are interested in dramatics I are requested to hand their names in to the office or to Fr. Evoy. Try-outs began on Tuesday, Feb- ruary 5, and from those trying out, eighteen boys will be selected to fContinued on Page 43 The Young Army Scout There he was sitting with his eyes open wide, His gun and his sword lying close by his side. You could tell by his looks what he was thinking about, This shabby looking, young army scout. He's been in the war since the first gun was fired, And he has been fighting ever since for the coimtry he admiredg He's been in many victories, and in many defeats, And he was with the men when they made their retreats, He was in Bataan, and he was in Guadalcanal, He was in Java., when it disas- terously fell. But he never once showed his fear to fight, For what he was fighting for, he knew was right. -Ed. Walentiny.
