PAGE FOUR THE LION December, S1944 Coast Guard Hero Relates Experiences Appearing at Bellarmine, Jack Smith, Chief quartermaster of the U. S. Coast Guard, related some of the highlights of his experiences aboard a coast-guard-manned LST. Chief Smith's ship and 11 others went unscathed through 5 major European engagements during 20 months of combat duty. This was high-lighted by the Normandy in- vasion. In addition to relating his per- sonal experiences, Chief Smith showed his audience a movie titled Task Force, which, described ac- curately the functions of a task force establishing a beach-head. Under authority of national headquarters, a limited quota for 17 year old boys to enlist in the Coast Guard, is available in this district and listed here with the minimum qualifications. The boy must be 17 years old: an American born or naturalized citizen: weigh at least 124 pounds and be 5 feet 6 inches tall: have 20!30 vision without glassesg be in good health: have a copy of his birth certificate to and have his parents' consent enlist.

A great num- ber of bonds was purchased at the school and those buying a bond were rewarded with a free pass to the Hamrick Theatres in Tacoma. Bellarmine hopes to fill its quota in the Parochial Schools of Ta- coma drive to buy three hospital planes to fly the war-wounded to hospitals and safety. Bellarmine also hopes to fly the Minute-Man flag which was awarded the school last year. Let everyone back up the 6th War Loan Drive and buy that extra bond or stamp!

Both Lincoln and Stadium were elimin- ated by the Buckley Mountaineers and Clover Park Warriors, thus leaving these quints to clash for the c o v e t e d Hoop-Go-Round championship. By a large lead Clover Park won by a 27-20 score. Using an exceedingly wide-open, gambling form of the fast break, the Warriors received the crown by virtue of sparkling victories over Bellarmine, Lincoln and Buckley. an-Y-Y '------- f '1 RELIGIOUS ARTICLES :1 Make Most Treasured Gifts 'I 1. 1 The Kaufer Co., Inc.

PVT. RAYHAMMERSCHMITH Ray was one of Bellarmine's out- standing students. He also was the 10th Bellarmine student to have given his life in this world- wide conflict. He was salutatorlan of his class. He played varsity football during his second, third, and fourth years -and was captain in his final year. Ray was a member of the Knights' Club, an honorary so- ciety: also he was a four year let- terman on the baseball club and won a letter in basketball.

At present the team cannot be classed as outstanding, but time is the best test. ' Only boys who are willing to learn and take advice cheerfully are enrolled on the roster. The fundamentals of pivoting, dribbling, ball-handling, and shoot- ing have been carefully stressed by Coach Healy. He has also pointed out the importance of team unity. The team's laudible playing in the Hoo-Go-Round was only a sample of what to expect in January and February. ft v.- W Congratulations to those who have won their coveted B in football. Those boys who were not lucky enough to receive such an honor should be praised for their never-die spirit. Nothing could be accomplished without these loyal students. It is these boys, who turn out unfailingly night after night, who are left behind on trips because of inadequate transportation, and who sit on the bench, wait- ing the coach's summons, deserve the applause and glory, for they are the real heros of Bellarmine. lTacoma Knights 4 p Sponsor Banquet 22- H i th f tbllte f . fig' A J, Belllillfxilibilf Seittleo Piep alilgsoe- Coacll Healy Makes Basketball Cut After two weeks of strenuous practice, Coach Healy reduced his hoop 'squad to ten. These boys have really earned their positions but are always subject to replace- ment by one of the reserves. It is a fairly tall team, but lacks ex- perience. Because of a new sys- tem, they are not expected to hit full stride till the middle of Janu- ary.

The Bells' inexperience was clearly in evi- dence in both the offensive and defensive phases of the contest. The game, played at Fife on Dec. 5, was the initial contest for the present campaign. The score at halftime was 19-7. Their fa- miliarity with the court enabled Fife to continue increasing their lead. Kropf and Messmer shared scoring honors with 9 tallies apiece.

Sixth War Loan Announced Last year Bellarmine students were most generous in their pur- chase of War Bonds. Not a war loan drive passed without Bellar- mine going over its quota. The Minute-Man flag, awarded by the Treasury department to honor schools purchasing war bonds, was displayed nearly every month. Very soon the Sixth War Loan is scheduled to begin and every student of Bellarmine high school will pledge to do his part to put his school over the top. Bond sales this year will be handled by the Lions' Club. They will be on sale in the Bond Booth in the hall. In the meantime Bonds may be ordered through the office. Seventeen year old youths, who have not yet reached the age of 17 years nine months, are even of- fered a special army program en- abling them to build up their knowledge prior to entry into ac- tive army duty. This is the Specialized Training Reserve Program, under which those qualified may receive college courses at government expense. To enter the program, in addition to meeting the age requirement, boys must also be able to begin the course not later than March 1, 1945, through graduation from high school prior to that date.
