D Army Offers Scholarships To Seventeen- Year Olds In military as in civilian life, education plays a major role in individual success, and men entering the army will do- well to get as much schooling as they possibly can, it 'is pointed out by army re- cruiting officers of the Washington district. . 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. Those enlisted in the program will not be called to active duty in the army until after their eighteenth birthday. Divided into fContinued on Page 23 function sponsored by the ROTC.

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!

By a large lead Clover Park won by a 27-20 score.

PAGE Two 1' H E Be Loyal to Your chooll 1 There are many, many ways in which a student can? show loyalty to his school. One is a constant effort to keep the school's buildings and grounds clean. 1 With many Bellarmine pupils eating their lunches nearl and in the buildings Cand rooms?j during the noon hourl period Cand others?j, inevitably a certain amount of refuse is discarded. Paper sacks and left-overs may be seen herel and there all too frequently. Such sights leave anything buti a good impression upon visitors, not to mention the untidyl influence they may have upon the students themselves. E Bellarmine still has a beautiful, modern building. Whilei the grounds themselves are sown with green turf of which, the school is proud, each student should make every effort to f keep the-school and its surroundings as clean as possible. T Throw your papers and rubbish into the receptacles pro- 3 vided for that purpose. BE LOYAL TO YOUR SCHOOL I Thanksgivin ' Da , November 23 was Thanksgiving Day. This year Thanks- I giving should have meant more than turkey and a vacation. , It was the day to give thanks. As we all know, the pilgrims originated this traditionall harvest festival. Upon that day, three centuries ago, men firstl publicly thanked God for His goodness and bounty duringi the year. We today likewise have much to be thankful for. We can thank God for many gifts but especially this year we should thank Him that we live in America. Across the seas other nations are torn by war and poisoned I with hate, while we rest practically in a haven of blessingl Over there faith is persecuted, man's rights trampled to the ground. Here in America we live comparatively in peace. Let us feast but let us also on this day give thanks to Almightyi God for these gifts of His goodness and love. l , Treasury Department Asks Aid , In a letter to the Bellarrnine Lion Adviser, the Treasury Depart- Z ment requested the editorial staff to deliver a most important message to the student body. V It asks all communities or schools planning a V day festivi- ties, to bear in mind the fact that we must not consider V day the day of final victory but merely as a stepping stone to complete vic- tory. Thus V-day has been labeled V-E day meaning Victory in Eur- ope Dayf' On this day we will re- I 'dedicate ourselves to the task of finishing the job with a minimum of additional loss of life. This means that we must stick to our guns until the day of final vie-l tory, not forsaking our duty to buy war bonds nor our duty to stick to our jobs. Sharpshooters Try Ist P-ldeieml Sgt. Douglas has been busy bringing the ROTC rifle team to top performance during the past months, with Capt. Dawson lend- ing a capable hand. Competition for team membership is keen with veteran members. Second place winners of last year's Pacific Coast Randolph Hearst trophy are re- turning for a. try at the first place trophy. Besides Lawrence Jayko and Robert McCaffrey, members of last year's winning team, Sgt. l I l 1 i i Douglas has found promise in a few newcomers, among them are Pat Cleary, Kukowski, Kalanick, George Christnacht and others. Meanwhile the freshmen, under the able supervision of Mr. Laney, S. J., are preparing to shoot the National Rifle Association Small Bore course. They promise to become excellent riflemen. The newer members are rapidly be- coming adept. With the material at hand, both instructors prophe- size a very successful season. l l l LION November, 1944 SENIOR SCENES Bob Dogears Wood! wondering who took his car . . .

'6Toby, One-Legged Seagull, Visits Again Bellarmine is again honored this year by the presence of her famous seagull. Each fall for over 12 years the bird has returned for a 9 months stay. Far from being an ordinary seagull Be1larmine's bird has only one leg. How it came to have only one leg is not known for it belongs to his private life. According to Father Lynch, S. J., who has been around the school a good many years, ' the students have always humbly addressed him as Toby - Whatever kind of weather pre- vails the bird may be seen,hob- bling about the grounds. Many alumni, upon visiting our school, usually ask about the bird, for none can forget Bellarmine's fa- mous seagull. Buy Bonds and Stamps.

These are the gifts of the Junior and Senior sodalities, the picture being donated by the fresh- men, and were installed in the past week. During the first meet- ing of the Senior sodality, it was decided to purchase a Papal'flag. The Junior sodality, after hearing about this project, voted to obtain a new American flag to complete the set. This fl-ag together with the Papal flag was placed in the Chapel to remind the students that they owe loyalty not only to their Faith but also to their couri- try. A collection was taken for the flags a.nd through the generosity of the boys in the combined so- dalities, the quota to be turned in was exceeded. With the money that was remaining. -a new set of Mass Cards was purchased.
