Meckes, S. J., and Fr. White, S. J., spent Wednesday, the twen- ty-first of February, at the state capitol in Olympia learning many new facts about the government of the state of Washington. After being introduced to the legisla- ture by Representative A. B. Com- fort, the boys took their seats and watched the legislature in action. All the boys had an enjoyable time and hope to make the visit again. The preceding Monday, Mr. Leo McGavick, a prominent Tacoma attorney, spoke to the students on fundamentals of government. This speech aided the students in understanding what they saw and heard at the capitol in Olympia. Junior Prom Out- Standing Success The Junior Prom, one of the main events of the year, honor- ing the graduates and the alumni of Bellarmine, was a remarkable success. , The Elk's ballroom which was pleasingly decorated was set off by an extensive plaque on which the names of the departing seniors of '45 were written. The delight- ful music of Hal Gullett and his orchestra was enjoyed by all. Among the guests at the Prom were Rev. Father Schultheis, S. J., Fr. H. Luger, S. J., who acted as faculty adviser, Mr. and Mrs, C. J. Fairhurst, Mr. and Mrs. H. Gal- braith, and Mr. and Mrs. Dyck- man. A round of applause should go to the Prom Committee who car- ried out so successfully the tradi- tion of giving their unlimited co- olic champions of Western Wash- ington, left on Teusday night in quest of more titles in meets with five Spokane schools, including Marycliff, winner of the Spokane Debate league. Other teams on the Bellarmine schedule are Gon- zaga, second place winner, Rogers, Lewis and Clark, and Central Val- ley. Making the trip were Jim Hen- riot, Oliver Glassy, Pat Maloney, and Mr. W. O'Brien, S. J. On February 28, two of these speakers will argue the affirma- tive case against both Lewis and Clark and Mal-yciiff. On Thurs- day and Friday they debate Gon- 'zaga's negative and affirmative teams. With victories in these im- portant matches go claim to the 1 mythical state debating champion- lship for C-atholic high schools.

February, 1945 T H E L I O N PAGE THREE Basketball Dial-yi VARSITY JAN. 26-0'DEA 32, BELLS 24 The score' was 24 all in the fourth quarter of play but the Irish 'put on a final drive with four minutes to go, running up 8 tallies before the closing whistle sounded. JAN. 27-EATONVILLE 21, BELLS 27 Lions avenge a one-sided set- back from the Cruisers. After the first quarter the Bellarmine quin- tet had no trouble getting the jump on the Cruiser five. Davie, Eatonville center, was high point man with 11, and Vlahovich scored 8 for the Bells. JAN. 30-SEATTLE PREP 48, BELLS 20 Prep couldn't miss on their own maples. The Lions kept the pace evenlyiin the first half, but the sharpshooting Panthers came out victorious. Sollers, Prep forward, led the scoring with twelve points. Vlahovich was high for the Bells with 10. FEB. 2-LINCOLN 41, BELLS 37 The Lions really aroused the old fighting spirit in this contest. The fast moving Abes were kept on the jump every minute of play. This new combination of Payne, Kropf, Vlahovich, Trine, and Harrington shows promise of future thrilling games. Kropf and Vlahovich shared high point position with 10 counters each. FEB. 6-BUCKLEY 35, BELLS 25 Although off to a slow start, the Lions edged their way up the scor- ing ladder, but they were unable to overcome the Mountaineers lead before the final whistle blew. 1 Harrington, Bell guard, led his team with eight points. FEB. 10-LINCOLN 29, BELLS 28 The score shows the closeness of 1 this thrilling game. The Bells fought fiercely in the second half and cut down the Abes 11 point, lead to 1 counter. Only the sound of the final whistle stopped the Lions surge toward victory. Trine, Lion. guard, dropped in 16 points to take top scoring honors. RESERVES ' A team is only as good as its reserves. This motto has often been proven true. It shows the significance of the reserve five, for upon these hopeful players lies the responsibility of being prepared to take the place of an exhausted or injured varsity man.

SOPHS Laurels are tossed to those scrap- ping Bellarmine yearlings known as' the Sophomores. Although out- rnanned in quite a few instances I l they were never outfought as the resulting scores will indicate. The Sophomores starting five consists of a group of dazzling ball hand- lers in Jim Hermsen and Bill O'- Leary at guards, a pair of scrappy forwards in Tom O'Leary and John Kelly, and a bruising center in Antone Mladineo. Credit is also due to the Soph subs who turn out night after night and are at the disposal of their coach Mr. Hanl- ger, S. J. Subs are: Mitch Mullan, Jim Milloy, Bill Galbraith, Bob Ludeman, Norm Smith, Pa-ul George and Pat O'Leary.

V 441-1 P .3-'pk 5 Good Luck, Grads! I n M emorlam Four more students have been added to the list of Bellar- mine alumni killed during- the war. Anthony Buhr, class of 1937, Dick Carbone and Jack Kelly, graduates of '43 and Joe Ferry, class of 45. The students of Bellarmine owe tremendous gratitude to these brave men who have died that we may continue living in a free country. These four students were among Bellar- mine's most outstanding stu- dents and they kept their spirit and initiative up to their death. The way we can repay this tre- mendous gratitude is to re- member these brave men in our prayers and the other eleven Bellarmine men who have given their lives. Senior Leaves For Jesuit Order The first student from Bellar- mine to answer the call of a re- ligious vocation this year was Paul Eckroth, a Senior, who recently de- parted for the Novitiate of the Jes- uit Order. This religious house of 5 Q 1 idst if if studies is maintained at Sheridan, Oregon, as a place where young men may study for the priesthood. Shortly before his departure, Paul received a special promotion to the rank of First Lieutenant in the ROTC, of which he was a mem- ber. This award was given in rec- ognition of his Work by the order of Captain James Dawson. Paul was a. Sodalist, member of the Lion's Club, on the honor roll, and on the varsity football squad.

A large crowd of parents and friends of the graduates filled' the St. Leo's So- cial Hall. Rev. Father Schultheis, S. J., President of Bellarmine, was the toastmaster. He introduced this year's faculty members. Bob Erickson, president of the senior class, gave a short talk expressing the seniors' appreciation of their school and teachers. The side- splitting class prophecy which was read by John Comfort was writ- ten by Ed Walenting. Mrs. Hugh McGavick, president of the Philo- mathea Club, was introduced and expressed everyone's thankfulness for having the Jesuits at Bellar- mine. Mr. I.
