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.

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.

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.

' You have heard older people almost endlessly say, C-et yourself an educa- tionf' Co through school and learn! The fact that you just don't go far without an education is easy enough for an older person to see, but hard for you who are still in school. This is not from a gray-haired veteran, brother. It's from a Senior just getting out of the mill. Sixteen of us left just a few days ago, and all bu-t a very few have the inten- tion of going on to higher education. We can see the facts, all too clearly-you just can't go far without an education. Make what little time you have left count for some- thing worth while. Have yourself a good .time at the games and dances, but always remember that the main reason you are at Bellarmine is to learn and to begin to find your place in a tough hard rugged world that has absolutely no respect for the man who can't handle the job. .
