THE CAGE Seventeenth Commencement To Be Held June 1 Bellarmine High School will hold its seventeenth an- nual commencement exercises on Friday evening, June l, at 8 p. m., in St. Leo's auditorium. A class of forty two members will receive their diplomas, and awards will be given out by the Rev. A. B. Corrigan, S. J. The graduat- ing class will then be addressed by the' Very Rev. Henry Schultheis, S. J., president of Bellarmine. By virtue of his excellent record at Bellarmine, Robert Erickson will have the honor of representing the seniors as Valedictorian, and James Hienriot will render the Salutatory address. Presiding over the exercises will be the Rt. Rev. Raphael Helder, O.S.B., Abbott of St. Martins College. The seniors will have the privilege of hearing, as the principal speaker, the Rev. John Louis Bonn, S. J., who is now stationed in Seattle in the U. S. Naval Reserve. Among the coveted awards to be given out at this time, will be the Loyalty ring, which is awarded annually to an outstanding senior, and the gold elocution rings which are awarded each year to the winners of the senior and junior elocution contests. Fr. Schultheis will then announce the winners of the annual Seattle College scholarship, and the two scholarships which are given out each year to grade school students, by competitive examination. Several musical selections will be rendered by the Bellarmine band under the direction of Lt. John Cress, conductor. M id-Year Induction Calls Sixteen Seniors For the second time in two years, mid-year gradua- tion became necessary at Bellarmine. Hard pressed for time, sixteen members of the senior class left the en- deared halls with the blessing of all ringing in their ears. The senior banquet was held early this year so that they could attend, and a special assembly was held in their honor. The majority are already serving in the Armed Forces. The remainder are either attending college or earning money to enable them to go on to higher education. Thus far, the Army has claimed Eddie Archbold and Gerry Horner. The Navy has the edge, however, taking Bill Brady, Jack Davis, Chuck Schuler, and Pat Shilley. Dick Broz is in the Marihes, along with John Maddock. George Eckroth is in the A.S.T.R.P.g Jim MCC-offin is attending Gonzaga University, Paul Hebert is working at the .shipyardsg Dave Harrigan, Bob Poch, Joe Woolery, and Tom Coles are waiting to be called. Sodality Ends Another Successful Year The Sodality has had its most successful year. At the first meeting held last fall the Sodalists voted to buy large American and Papal flags for the Chapel. The Sodality ably handled the drive to enroll the school as a member in the Propagation of Faith. Two mem- bers of the Sodality recited the Rosary daily in the Chapel during the month of October. A special assembly honoring His Holiness, Pope Pius Xll was held in December. The annual Sodality Party was held early in January. Over 5400.00 was raised for the Alaska Missions as a Sodality project during Lent. ln May the Sodality led the school in singing the Litanies before the statue of the Blessed Virgin, praying for a just and lasting peace. Fr. Lynch, S. J., is moderator of the Senior and Junior Sodalitiesg Doug Dyckman and Jim Hermsen are the prefects.

1945 Class Competition Keen Between Rooms This year several drives were held by the various clubs at Bellarmine and each time the competition was keen, giving proof of the living spirit of Bell. The first drive of the school year was a school wide competition in the sale of tickets for the fall Philomathea. party. This drive was won by Mr. Penna's energetic Sophomores of Room l, and for their reward they received a holiday and the privilege of spending SSlO0.00 for improvements on the Bellarmine campus. The second drive was the annual Alaska Mission Fund drive sponsored by the senior sodality. This drive was won by the ambitious seniors of Room 5, with the Juniors of Room lO close behind. Fr. Paul Weissen- berg is the class moderator of Room 5, and Fr. Meckes of Room lO, The final drive of the year was the ticket sale cam- paign for the annual Mask and Dagger club dramatic production of Career Angel. This drive was won by a large margin by the Freshmen of Room 6, with Fr. John Evoy as moderator. The real living spirit of Bellarmine is clearly shown by the interest in these events. RUTC Undergoes Many Changesg 9 Receive Awards at Review During the school year i944-l94S, the ROTC de- partment of Bellarmine High School underwent a com- plete change in administration. Capt. James Dawson was the new commandant, and Sgt. C. Crockett replaced Sgt. Harold Douglas at mid-year. Capt. Dawson replaced Capt. Floyd Collins, who was transferred to active duty. Both were from the University of Washington. Sgt. Douglas was returned to civilian life. The ROTC rifle team again entered into competition with other schools. This year the team placed seventh in the Ninth Service Command Hearst Match. Reviving an old school custom, the corps officers held a Military Ball during the Christmas vacation. Nearly one hundred cadets attended in full dress uniform. The battalion, after months of study and practice, presented an inspiring review for the inspecting officer, Maj. O. F. Porter of Walla Walla High School. The final event was the annual Mother's Day cele- bration. The event was very colorful and most inspiring. The day opened with Military Mass celebrated by the Very Rev. Henry Schultheis, S. J., President of Bellar- mine. This was followed by a review, inspection, and presentation of awards.
