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.

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.

The field was very muddy and was an asset to Prep's single wing. Power plays produced a touch- down in each quarter. The 'Lion strong passing attack was valueless when employed in the three inch gumbo. Fifteen seniors played their last game of football for Bellarmine. Prospects for next year look good with many underclassmen playing regularly this season. Fife 21, Bells 0 The once beaten Fife Trojans rolled over the diminutive Lions by a score of 21-0 on November 1. The game, played on Fife's home field, was played in the coldest weather that the Bells have en- countered this season. The Trojans scored on two long drives and the third touchdown was the result of an intercepted pass. Gotchy, Laviola and Adams accounted for the three touch- downs, while Schlump converted each time. Because of the extreme cold, the majority of the team is suffering perience were too great for the Bells to overcome. As usual, the Lions played their hardest but were still outclassed. The game, although hard fought, was notable for its lack of injuries. On running plays, the Rail- splitters averaged 7.40 yards while Bellarmine gained 2.44 yards per running play. However, the Lions maintained a slight edge in pass- ing and punting. Last Game: 8 Defeats guidance of Mr. the Bellarmine closed its un- Sophs Lose 5 Victoriesg Under the able Haniger, S.

E The Soph schedule slated 15 games: of these five were victories and two ties and the remainder eight, defeats. Although the defeats outweighed the victories the number of games compensates a very heavy season indeed for such a light squad. No student of this school should be ashamed of Bellarmine's 1944 football team. While the record of wins is not in our favor, I can safely call this year's team a fighting team. They played all sixty minutes of every game. Their efforts this season have definitely revitalized the traditional spirit of Bellarmine. To my mind, the cornerstone for future great Bell teams was laid this season. Basketball turnouts began last week. In keeping with this re- discovered fighting spirit, let's start taking our teams seriously. All those who have experience or height should take it upon themselves to ltry out for the team. Even though you think you have little or no Q talent, you may be a future star. . 1 x W x W N 1 N 1 1 Fighting Spirit The fool around spirit has been too prevalent in the past.

Dads' Night a Success Over two hundred Dads and sons were entertained at the mixer Thursday, November 16 for the first time in many years in the Bellarmine gym. The occasion was Dad's night at which time they were given the opportunity to meet the faculty. A program presented by the freshmen depicted school life as Dad tells us and as it really was. The evening closed with coffee and doughnuts.
