St. illuhzrt zllarminz, 5. 3. This kindly Jesuit prelate, to whom we dedicate our yearbook, lived in a period of history which in one respect, at least, was a close parallel to our own. The church was beseiged by a flood of dangerous error and anti-clericalism. And even as a Rumanian cardinal of today dared lift his voice in the defense of truth, so did the Italian Cardinal Bellarmine, with a brilliance that has seldom been equalled in the annals of Catholicity. On the cover of this booklet are reproduced the armorial bearings of St. Robert Bellarmine. They consist of a red shield emblazoned with six golden pine cones and surmounted by the insignia proper to a prince of the church: a processional cross and the red hat of the cardinalate.

Speaking of training young men, St. John Chrysostom, the golden tongued orator of the Church, asks us: What could be more important than to train the minds of youth and to shape their habits? ln truth, tar greater than any painter, tar more excellent than any sculptor or any artist ranks, in my esteem, the teachers who molds the character of Youth. And isn't that the very purpose for which you have come to us for an education? Mold- ing the character of youth according to the pattern of the youthful Christ is the Jesuit's task as he tries to follow faithfully the motto established for him by his founder, St, lgnat- ius, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam - To the greater glory of God. That is again the reason why during your four years of training at Bellarmine we stress the development of your character along the lines of manly, Christian, Christlike char- acteristics. Be true' to them, for in being true to them you will be true to Christ and to us. God bless you. Father J. Goudie, S.J. Administration Dear Seniors, As you leave the halls of Bellarmine, you are leaving the last stage ot your preparation for manhood. From this point on you are men - you will be treated as men, accepted on equal terms with men, and you will be on your own to direct the courses of your lives. But, even more than this, you are Catholic men. During your four years at Bellarmine we tried to impress upon you the meaning and importance of that fact before all others. We desired to send you forth loving Christ and His Blessed Mother, to live lives that will be an example to an evil world. May the principles learned at Bellarmine aid you in becoming a credit to your Alma Mater, to your country, and, above all, to your Cod. lRev.l Leo T. Eckstein, S.J. Faculty JS FR. PAUL BUCHANAN. S.

Another year of constant drill and training has'come to a close for the Junior Re- serve Officers' Training Corps of Bellarmine High School. Many memories remain of cadet activities such as marching in various city parades and a battalion review attended by the Governor of the state. There are memories, too, of trips to Fort Lewis to inspect the military organization there, As is customary in the corps, many prizes were awarded for excellence in the per- formance of duties and offices. A large part of the credit for progress made during the Year must be given to Major Lester B. Johnson and his assistants, Sgts. Shinokis, Birkes, and Mathias. Cadet officers in charge of this year's unit were: Lt. Col. Robert Pospisil, Battalion Commander, Maj. Dennis Vye, Battalion Exec.g Capt. Joseph Hamilton, Battalion Adj.g Capt. Patrick Olsen, Commdr.

The sodality prepared a spiritual bouquet which was sent to the Holy Father on the occasion of his golden jubilee as a priest.Sometime in the summer months a few seniors will be appointed to attend camp at Gonzaga which will pertain to Catholic action. Another of the many events for the senior sodality was participation in the state- wide drive to aid the missions in Alaska. The officers of the upper class Sodality this year were: Bill Hoyt, prefect, Tom Kornell, vice prefect, and Tom Farrell, secretary-treasurer. IUNIOR SODALITY-FIRST ROW: F. Graham, M. Keeley, 1.

The cast, numbering better than fifteen Thespians, was directed by Mr. Michael J. Taylor, S.J. The leading role of the misunderstood Chester Dean was portrayed by Kenny Roberts, and Rita Dyckman took the part of Barbara Pearson, his sympathetic girl friend. Robert Storwick took the role of Mr. Bradley, the school principal who was Chester's chief adversary from beginning to end of the hilarious production, Rounding out the cast were: Marianne Van Rooy as Miss Shea, Richard Jensen as Mr. Nelson, Michael Mingo as Mr. Patterson, Phyllis Brown as Miss Pike, Jim Griffith as Bill, Marie Peterson as Miss Eggleston, William Lavine as Mr. Vecchitto, Mary Ella Hickey as Gertie, Sue Backer as Miss Wheeler, Allan Tait as George Bige- low, Donna Hess as Mrs. Dean' Thomas Kornell as Mr. Ferguson, and William LaVergne as Benny. ln the spring, Bellarmine fancies turned lightly to thoughts of the annual operetta staged in collaboration with the girls of St. Leo's High School. This time it was Colden Memorie, a musical revue written and directed by Sr. M. Lavinia, O.S.F. Leading a cast of seventy were Dick Galbraith and Jackie Symons as Mr. and Mrs. John Peyton, who re-live the musical memories of fifty wedded years.

Although held last, the first in importance was the junior-senior contest at St. Leo's auditorium on April 3. The winner was Harvey Beauchamp, who gave an excerpt from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Alan Tait placed second with his interpretation of Poe's Cask of Amontilladof' Other participants were James McCuigan, Charles Kelly, Thomas Kornell, and Charles Bott. The contest was judged by Messrs. Art McMahon, Thomas McNamara, and Thomas McHugh. The sophomores had their elocution contest on March 8 in the presence of the Philomathea Club. The winner in this contest was Roger Blanchette, second place honors going to Jim Harrison. Others who tried out in the finals were Darrell Brittain, Mike Mingo, Jim Jackson, and John Martin. Fr. C-oudie, S.J., directed these lads in their efforts. The freshmen, too, had their elocution contest before the assembled mem- bers of the Philomathea. Ben Crawford was the winner, with Ben Bullinger and Dick Bader coming in second and third, respectively. Other contestants were Don Kaperick and Eugene Longen. Their mentor was Fr. B. Harris, S.J. The debate society did well for itself during the year, winning about half of the total number of meets. One of the more memorable occasions was a meet with the Round Table Club of McNeil Island, where Alan Tait and Wil- liam Lavine, accompanied by their coach, Mr. Danel, S.J., went down to defeat before the Islanders, who were coached by Fr. F. Prange, S.J. Two lads deserve special mention here. Robert Pospisil came in second in oratory at Cionzaga, at Seattle University, and in the State Ortorical meet for the Pierce County Division. Alan Tait won second place for impromptu speaking at Seattle University, and came in fifth of nine at the Hearst Oratorical Contest. 5, R. Blanchette ' FRESHMAN ELOCUTION-SEATED: B. Crawford, Fr. B.

Sgt.-at-Arms The l948-l949 school year saw a new policy introduced into Bellarmine's honor society, the Lion's Club. Weekly courts were held to review cases of all offenders against school regulations and standards. But the Lion's Club did more than patrol the school for violators. The Lions also ushered at school dramatic productions and took tickets at various other functions. Never to be forgotten among the club's activities was the annual Touch- down Trot held in honor of the '48 football team. Club moderator was Mr, Michael Collins, S.J. FIRST ROW: I. Bader, R.

The band can easily be remembered for its spirited playing at all the school assemblies and rallies, and at the football and basketball games. This group also performed at several city functions such as welcoming the Tacoma Rockets hockey team and the Mooseheart football squad. Also in the music spotlight was the glee club directed by Mr. Haven, SJ. This organization sang at the Christmas assembly before the Mothers' Club, and at a number of church functions. The club broke up temporarily during the musical revue, in order that its members might take part in the production. FIRST ROW: I, Koehler, R. Blancherte. A. Boyle, I. Martin, P. Ehli, R. LaPorte, W.

All-City Football Bellarmine's i948 grid machine started rather slowly, bowing twice in the Tacoma Athletic Comrnission's annual Grid-Co-Round, first to Stadium's Tigers by a 7-6 margin, then dropping a close yardage decision to Lincoln. A week later, the Bells unveiled some of their strong running power by smothering the Shelton Highclimbers with a Zl -O score, Vye being responsible for two TD's. Next opponent on the schedule was the strong St. Mart- in's eleven, and the roaring Lions proceeded to give the new Bellarmine Memorial Stadium a successful dedication by shellacking the fighting Rangers Zl -O. Vengeance gleamed in the eyes of the Jungle Kings as they met the Longview Lumberjacks on the home field. The Lumberjacks, rated second in the state in l947, had given the Lions their only setback of that season, and the Bells showed their resentment by subdueing the 'Jacks 24-O. Taking on all comers, the Bells met Stadium in their first City League encounter, and scored two quick touchdowns in the first quarter to set the game on ice. The final count was l4-7.

Tired from the long trip, and somewhat disheartened by the fact that Kelso had broken their thirteen-game win- streak, the Lions barely squeezed by Vancouver, B.C. College by a count of I6-l3. ln the heartbreaker that decided the city championship, the fighting Bells surrendered their city title to Lincoln's state champion Railsplitters by a Lincoln 50-yard run with four minutes left in the game. The score was l6-l 3. The final game of the year saw the Lions dropping the curtain on the heads of Seattle Prep's Panthers, the final score being I8-O. MATZ, Quarterback .

The Bells lost tour of the first six games, and although they placed second to Lincoln in the l-loop-Co-Round, they didn't play like champions until the opening game of the City League. But when the chips were down, they played the type of ball worthy of the praise they received. VARSITY TEAM-FIRST ROW: A. White, Mgr., 1. McGuigan, T. Eckroth, G. Rice, R. Galbraith, G. Karpach, G.

Anderle in the IOO-yard dish, Anderson and Hermsen in the 220, Vye and Russell in the 440, and Jensen in the shotput have been outstanding. The mile relay team, com- posed of Russell, l-lermsen, Tom Koehler and Vye, is undefeated in three starts.

They will hold their positions until thc close of the school year. Miiitdryiikahkiiig Given to Students Perfection has become the by- word in the R.O.T.C. corps. The unit is apparently setting their aim higher than that of the pre- vious ones. Major Lester Johnson and his aides, Sgt. Albert Shin- okis and Sgt. Cleve Birkes, have planned for a greater and better instructive course this year. The entire corps is showing un- expected talent earlier than usual and Major Johnson predicts that the R.O.T.C. unit will soon become the one of the many limelights at Bellarmine this year. OFFICERS The senior officers who were appointed a few weeks ago are all selected and experienced men and are anxiously awaiting a, chance to prove their ability. Their re- spective placing as as follows: Ca- det Lt. Colonel Robert Pospisil, Battalion Commander: Cadet Ma- jor George Vye, Battalion Exec- utive Officerg Cadet Captain Jo- seph Hamilton, Battalion Adjut- antg Cadet 1st Lieutenant Moarty, Battalion Supply Officerg Cadet Captain Patrick Olsen Command- ing Officer of Company AH: Ca- tContinued on Page 81 Their duties are confined to the ncwly formed Consti- tution which states thc fol- lowing: rib It will be the duty of the president to preside at all meet- ings of the student body and the student council and to perform such other duties as usually de- volve upon a presiding officer.

Lions Club Elects Vye As President Getting an early start, the Lion's Club swung into action this week by electing their officers. Dennis Vye was elected president, along with Dick Galbraith, vice-presi- dent. After collecting the remaining votes, George Karpach was chosen secretary-treasurer and Patrick Olsen sergeant-at-arms. DANCE AFTER GAME Without wasting a moment's time, Denny Vye announced that their would be a dance after the Bellarmine-St. Martin's game, in the Bellarmine gymnasium. The admission will be .50 and everyone is invited. For those who attend the dance, they will dance to the music accompaniment of Brad Bannon's nine piece orchestra. Dancing will be from 9 until 12. This dance, along with the foot- ball game, will mark the dedica- tion of Bellarmine's new memorial field. This dance, sponsored by the Lion's Club, is only one of the many fetes which this organization will undertake this year. Mothers Hold Meeting To Present Officers Tuesday, September 14, was the time, Bellarmine High School was the place and the first fall meet- ing of the Philomathea Club was the occasion. Presiding was the newly elected president, Mrs. Al- fred Morisette. Hostesses for the tea hour were the new officers of the club: Mesdames Morisette, Jack Saetoc, Frank Bartenetti, Pe- ter Gaffikim, Eknmett Mitchell, John Quinn and Jay Merrick. MAJOR JOHNSON SPEAKS Plans for the coming fall activi- ties were discussed at the meeting. The speaker was Major Lester B. Johnson, R.O.T.C. instructor at Bellarmine, who spoke on the mer- its and advantages of military training in high school. A large number of the freshman boys' mothers were present. PAGE TWO THE LION September 24, Bellarmine Student to Enroll at West Point Joe Roller, one of last year's grads, has been announced as first alternate candidate for admission to the United States military acad- emy at West Point. This distinc- tion came to Joe as the result of a competitive examination taken by 280 young men from all parts of Washington State. That Joe scored high in this examination will not be a. surprise to those who knew him at Bellar- mine. Here the interest that he showed in all school activities was especially manifest in the R.O.T.C., where he attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, highest in the Corps. Roller can be sure that he has the enthusiastic congratula- tions of Bellarmine and The Lion. New Teachers Added to Faculty For the school term governing 1948-9, the Rev. Leo T. Eckstein, S.J., principal, has announced the arriving of several new faculty members. The Rev.

The C.I.P.A. was organized in 1921 at Madison, Wisconsin. It is a co-operative institution under centralized supervision, formed for the purpose of dealing with the problems of school publications. In 1921 the association consisted of sixty-three members: over 1000 school publications are now en- rolled as members. In becoming a member of the C. I.P.A., The Lion has taken a step which will mean a greater and better paper for St. Leo's. SERVICES GIVEN Many special types of services are rendered by the association to its members. A department of crit- icism and advice is maintained at headquarters which is of great value to student editors. This de- partment is conducted by instruc- tors in the school of journalism at the University of Wisconsin. Monthly and yearly contests are conducted by the association with the aim of awarding honors and prizes to the best work done in the various fields of school journalism. It publishes a monthly maga- zine, The Scholastic Editor, which is a medium for the ex- change of ideas and enables the staffs of school papers to cooper- ate in the solution of mutual prob- lems. approachable, and always ready to discuss his favorite subject. To him, more than to any other living man, the world is indebted for the investigations that have estab- lished a practical method of fore- casting weather by sun spots. Discarded by most men of science as having no real bearing on the weather, Father Ricard re- fused to give up the idea of sun spots as indicator of weather changes in the earth and for 35 years he has studied patiently in his laboratory at Santa Clara.

'I'hese people are divided into small groups and in each tiny community there is a different way of lifeg a different amount of wealth and intellectual value, from each of these we can increase our knowledge and personality. Each of these persons we meet differs- spring from a different environ- ment- we know not the cause or reason for their faults and defects -how could we bring such insig- nificent beings in such a large world. As it is impossible to live in body forever, it is equally as diffi- cult to judge even our closest friend, much more than a man we may know little of develop- ment of character and personality is a must with educational, that is why this article fits into a school paper. The next time you are about to pass judgment on someone, think of the words of a famous man: When you find fault with a man, before you speak, think of two of your own. That's something you owe to God, your school Bellarmine and yourself. This Is Uln order that we, the As- sociated Students of Bellarmine High School, may become bet- ter acquainted with the rights and duties of our school citi- zenship, we do hereby adopt this constitution. Let it be clearly understood, however, that in so doing we assume no authority, or rights, or duties of the faculty or principal of Bellarmine High School, and that all acts of this body shall remain under the supervision and control of the school prin- cipalf' Read this over carefully. For this is the preamble of THE CONSTITUTION OF' TI-IE AS- SOCIATED STUDENTS OF BELLARMINE I-HGH SCHOOL This constitution was adopted last year for the first time. Nevertheless, We, the Student Body Officers of the year '48- '49, will base our school gov- ernment entire-ly on this pre- amble. to You! Remember, we, student offi- cers, are not dictators, but govern only by the power given to us! That is the deciding fac- tor of the success or failure of a government. If every student realizes this and co-operates, the government will be a suc- cess. In former years the gen- eral attitude of the students was that the student officers had the power to enact any law they wished. That is what we are trying to explain, WE WILL TRY TO FULFILL THE VVISHES OF THE STUDENTS, but we can only do that which is in OUR POWER!!

Bell Happenings We wish to introduce to you, stu- dents of Bellarmine, the very ca- pable Mr. Neill Meany, S.J., and Mr. Harold Free, S.J., who will assume the tasks of moderators of the Lion and Cage respectively. Mr. Meany, S.J., former Bell stu- dent, has had vast experience in the journalistic line. Mr. Free, S.J., also seems destined for suc- cess with the help of his capable staff in the production of the Cage. Reports from the office by Mrs. Pearl Gaul, Bellarmine registrar, find that the Bell student bodv has reached the high total of 365, the highest total ever reached in the history of Bellarmine. Plans are in the making for the seventh annual Catholic High School Press Conference. St. Leo's High School has definitely been selected for the locale of this event, with a possible banquet and dance to follow. Invitations will be extended to all Catholic schools throughout the Northwest.

Consequently the therory of Constrict ray is proven appable to the Coeneric or Serotic theory. When we consider the vastness of l-his transaction it is no wonder that the cosmic sanomite herein subject must become vertile to the Ferconermeric or peronnoic action. BELIEVE IT OR NOT . Dr. Maxamilian Munce, famous Austrailian Botanist advances the simple fact that: When the life giving sulphuric liquid, com- monly termod the dioxite, is show- ered with varying amouts of Hnl20 the dioxite then is less subject to burining and is subsequently more adaptable to patitial reception. The nutrates of lime, aminina- bite and sulphur surrounding the sruictly sulphur section of the co- eptionist is then slowly selitified. In short, fried eggs are good Senior Sketches Jay Merrick was born here in our own lovable Tacoma in Aug- ust, 1931. His sterling laughter carried him through until his graduation from St. Leo's Cgrade school, that ls!l. Jay's summer time occupation is checking the rise of icebergs that might occur in Death Valley. Of course this is a vivil service job. He is Captain Merrick of the R.O.T.C. and our own professional stage foreman with the Mask and Dagger. He likes Mokus. John Harbottle, The Transmis- sion Kid , was born in St. Jo- seph's in Tacoma too, not because he was sick, but because he wished to be with his mother. While teaching the principles of baseball to the Lokklyn Loggers of New York and Contrasplazenvllle, he managed to play with the Lions for three seasons. He likes Mokus too. He contracted the dread mal- ady this summer while vacation- ing in the mountains. MORE SENIOR-S Bob Storwick, true to this mon- otous parade, just had to be born in Tacoma, 17 years past. Bob came to Bellarmine from St. Edwards in his sophomore year.

WAX THE LIONS J , v 7 f SA! U 5 sHELToN S0 ph Gridders Start Turnouts Under the careful tutoring of Mr. Raymond O'Leary, ex Lion sports star, Bellarmine's Frosh- Soph football squad is rapidly tak- ing shape. The junior Lions have been turning out for two weeks and are believed to pack a wallop. The squad makes up in fire and speed what it may lack in sheer brawn. T BALL CLUB The Bell yearlings will work off a T , at times deviating to the Notre Dame Box. Mr. O'Leary seems pleased with his up and coming crop of underclass ball carriers. Handling the signal call- ing is Del Michaelson up from last year's scrappy cub squad. Don Martelli, fleet footed soph half- back is attracting the attention of Coach O'Leary along with Woody Blair, bulky fullback transfer from St. Martin's. In con- tention for the backfield slots are Mike Strong and Ronald Schieze, freshmen hailing from Holy Ro- sary and Visitation. Bells to Schedule Another Contest The Bell front office received word last week that the scheduled contest between Bellarmine and the O'Dea Irish was cancelled. It appears that an oversight in the O'Dea. schedule caused the last minute change. Efforts have been made to replace the contest with a battle with the vaunted Anna- cortes Seahawks. The game is not yet set but appears favorable. The powerful Hawks are always threats in their Northwest Washington conference.

Bells to Meet Highclimbe Lion Tumblers to Show Wares Soon A full schedule for Bellarmine's renowned tumbling squad appears certain for the coming year. The organization was begun two years ago with the return of Coach Slatt from the Marine Corps. The pin- point precision of the white clad gymnasts was lauded by all those who saw the tumblers perform. They appeared at assemblies, rallies, Booster meetings and reached their zenith between the halves at last year's annual Hoop- Go-Round. They accompanied the basketball squad to O'Dea High School where before a packed house they displayed their unu- sual talents. 71 no , . , - 4 ,- hr - .... .-,f.,, .., . eg-.x i N' i 1 V With the advent of another new year for the red brick school up on the hill, we see a lot of new faces and realize some of the old ones are missing. Santa Clara claimed two Bell line stalwarts in Jim Mc- Donough, fiery Lion guard, and Joe Retallick, all-city wingman. A little closer to home, enrolled in books of Portland University, is Paul George, last year's capable signal-caller and captain. Donning the crimson and white of St. Martin's College is Bel1armine's rough and rugged all-city center, Norm Smith. The familiar face of Jim Simp- son, unanimously elected all-city guard, was seen at the Grid-Go- Round last Friday. Jim, now attending Gonzaga University, flew over from Spokane. Tonight the Lions journey to Shelton to do battle with the mighty Highclimbers. What do you say we really get behind our ball club and show Shelton we have a school as well as a. football team.

The Parkland team showed un- expected strength and played a good brand of football. This is the first year the school has taken part in the grid sport and its showing was a surprise to the large crowd attending the contest. Bravely as the Lutherans battled, however, they were no match for the speedy St. Leo's outfit. Lions Drop Tllts To Abes and Tiges A determined bunch of fighting Bellarmine Lions made their bid in the sixth annual Grid-Go- Round last Friday evening in the Tacoma Stadium. The Bells, fight-- ing every inch of the way, dropped their first game with Stadium, 7 to 6. The loss of last years first place cup was felt by all when it was removed from the Lion trophy case. CLOVERS TRIUMPH A host of mighty midgets from Clover Park advanced to the finals with a second quarter win over Lincoln. WOLFE GOES OVER In the first game Stadium start- ed their attack on the Lion 43, and in four running plays were on the 8. Jim Wolfe, Tiger left half went over for the TD from there. Bud Stecker's conversion was the decisive point of the game. VYE TALLIES Bob Anderle brought the ball to his own 46 after going 33 yards on the opening kick-off. The first play lost a yard and then Denny Vye hit Pat Olson with a pass to the Stadium 17. Six more yards were made around left end and then Vye swept the right end for a touchdown. Had the try for point been made the game would have been all tied up, 7 to 7, and the yardage gained at 50 all. LYNX COUNTER In their consolation game with Lincoln the Lions were unable to get going and lost, 7 to 0. Trying to gain yardage by throwing pass- es deep in their own territory, Bellarmine lost the ball on downs and Lincoln finally pushed over a touchdown from the 1 yard line. The try for point was good. Clover Park and Stadium, co- winners in the affair, were un- able to score and the fact that both teams had 30 yards apiece in run- ning from scrimmage at the end of the quarter they shared honors.

Bob also can be remembered for his splendid work on the feature page of the school paper. John Harbottle will assume the duties of senior and class editor. Another competent senior, Jay Merrick, will head the sports de- partment. Money Important The most tedious job of all, that is collecting money to finance the yearbook, has fallen into the hands of Denny Vye. He has choosen Bill Payne as his assistant. The write-ups of activities and clubs will be taken care of by Harvey Beauchamp, who has serv- ed the last two years as the ca- pable editor of the Lion.

Cooperation Urged Jack Bader also wishes to an- nounce ' that all seniors should have their pictures taken as soon as possible at Smith's Studio. All must wear a shirt, tie, and suit coat. All seniors are urged to do this right away because only by their cooperation will the Cage become a better year book. Mask and Dagger To Present PIVTI . 'I' 0 I' 9 ff!

The attraction will be staged at the Temple Theatre. As you know, the theatre was completely overhauled and redecorated. The phrase, The show must go on, is once again ruling the minds of ambitious Thespians from Bellar- mine and Aquinas, who are rapidly adjusting their acting ability to the tune of What a Life. Debate Club Chooses Lavine As President The Debate Club has taken its first important step toward or- ganization by a recent election of officers. Bill Lavine was selected for the presidency last year. Elected to the office of vice-president was Alan Tait, while Roger Blanchette se- cured for himself the office of sec- retary-treasurer. Tentative Dates A source of stimulus is provided the debators in the form of tenta- tively scheduled encoimters with Lincoln, Clover Park, Fife, Seattle Prep, Stadium, Puyallup and I-lighline in addition to the tou.rna- ments at Seattle and Spokane. Mr. Daniel, S.J., moderator, says that no debate will be attempted until the teams become thoroughly familiar with the question. Directed by Mr. Taylor, S.J., the production, a mod- ern comedy in three acts, will be staged Thursday evening, Decem- ber 7, at the recently renovated Temple theatre. Roberts, Chester Dean Setting the pace of the play will be Chester Dean, alias Kenny Roberts, who although not a bad boy just finds it hard to do any- thing good. When the curtain rises on a, not so hospitable pr1ncipa1's office, Chester Dean will find him- self in enough trouble to keep even a high school boy on his toes. Helping to kindle the fire of trouble for Chester will be Robert Storwick as the school principal and Marianna Van Rooy as Miss Shea, the principal's secretary. Dykeman, Chester's Girl Rita Dykeman as Barbara Pear- son furnishes the moral support for Chester as he finds himself confronted by one difficulty after another. fContinued on Rage 83 PAGE TWO THE LION November 2, I Father Bennett Succumhs I The Rev. William H. Bennett, S.J., 82, spiritual advisor at Bel- larmlne High School for the past three years, died Sunday, Oct. 3. He was a native of Troy, N.Y. The Rev. Father Bennett was chaplain at St. Elizabeth Hospi- tal in Yakima for 15 years be- fore coming to Tacoma. He has held a number of church posts, including assistant priest at St. Leo's in Tacoma during 1929, and assistant pastor at Immac- ulate Conception church in Se- attle, and St. Aloysius in Spo- kane. The Rev. Bennett also - was an instructor at Santa -Clara and San Francisco uni- versities in California, Gonzaga Iin Spokane, and Seattle uni- versity. Slu'vivors include a niece, Mrs. Margaret M. Golden of New Haven, Conn. Services were held Tuesday, Oct. 5, at f the 8:30 Mass, in St. Leo's church, under the direction of Gaffney. His devoutness in his religion was expressed by his actions, for every morning, after hear- ing all the Masses at Bellar- mine, he would then go to St. Leo's and hear the Masses there. Representatives from Schools Attend Dinner Recently the Tacoma Youth Center, composed of Bellarmine, Aquinas, Stadium and Lincoln, met in a body and enjoyed a meal served to them at the Top of the Ocean. The sponser of this occa- sion was the Tacoma Police De- partment. The programs will be sponsored by the Model Bakery. Speakers for this occasion were: Mr. A. L. Hod- gert, owner of Model Bakery, R. S. Temme, commissioner of public safetyg Mr. A. E. Farrar, assistant chief of police: Mr. G. M. Spray, moderatorg lVI.r. H. A. Post, adviser of the Lincolniang Mr. R. C.

Scholars Will Vie In Pepsi Contest Five fortunate Bellarmine se- niors will soon represent their school in the forthcoming Pepsi Cola Scholarship examination. The students will be selected accord- ing to the grade point average compiled in their previous three years of high school. Awards Given Probably there is no other acad- emic contest existing which offers more valuable awards to the win- ners that this annual nation-wide examination. From most of this thousands of the mentally elert will weary through this two-hour contest. From these, the 16 rating highest in each state will be allowed to take the final state exam for the coveted first and second place awards-a complete four year course to any desired college. iContinued on Page 81 Sodality Officers for School Year Elected Father Joseph Lynch, S.J., stu- dent advisor and moderator of the class sodalities, has announced the sodality officers for the present school year.

NGN ow it Happened By Jim Martin Each year on the evening of the thirty- first of October, civilized and barbaric peo- ple in most parts of the world celebrate Hal- loween. Gaily costumed lads and lasses parade the civinity disturbing those adults who consider their antiques too outlandish to partake. And even the sophisticated adult has frivolous costume ball, complete with commercialized noise-makers and colored confetti, but very few people know the rea- son. Custom Ancient When you celebrate Halloween you are conforming to a custom more than thirteen centuries old. At that time the pagan world observed All Spirits Day, while in Ireland and Scotland the Druids attended their har- vest festival, Oidche Shamhnaj' which means Clrgil of Saman, who was the Lord of Death. Night Life Popular belief was that Saman called to- gether the souls of the wicked to roam the World at will during that night. The ignor- ant peasantry would build huge bonfires to drive these evil spirits away. Some of the customs that associated them- selves to these celebrations were the follow- ing: If you had the good fortune to be born on this day, you were supposed to be en- dowed with magical powers. Not only could you commune with the spirits, you could also establish yourself as a reputably accur- ate fortune teller. fThe art of fortune telling was also practiced in a more strenous way by leaping over burning candles.J Even the supposedly American custom of bobbing for apples had its origin in the Roman harvest festivals. The name Holloween, however, is of Christian origin, meaning simply Eve of All Saints, but unwittingly the Christian world has submitted to pagan practices. Meet All El the Fellows at BUSCH'S for Your Thick Milkshakes and Delicious Hamburgers Loads of Parking BUZSLIIPS The Frisco Kid Returns It was a typical foggy night on the bay. Deep folds of icy fog enveloped the cost. Dismally the dull booming of a. lone fog horn answered the soft swish of the surf. Far up- town the rude blare of a horn was heard. But except for these, no other sounds could be caught. The ray of light was obliterated for a moment as a dark form bisected its path. The harsh slam of a glass door was heard as the stadow swerved hesitantly and entered the little store. The man appeared absorbed ln a head of lettuce as he strained to catch the snatches of speech drifting to him from the back of the store. Some rough fisherman was haggling with the ancient storekeeper over the price of eggs. Cautiously he peered around the huge pile of canned goods. Ah! Only two of them' -this should be simple. Boldly stepping into the light, the bandit drew forth from his pocket a shiny, very detective story looking automatic. With his lower lip steadily quivering and his teeth chattering like Spanish castinettes, the old man stammered a plea for mercy. But with a hand cool and steady from prac- tice the dark bandit lashed out and whirled the old fellow about. In a few moments his hands were securely fastened behind him with adhesive and a large strip was placed across his stl11-plead- ing mouth. A moment later both men simil- arly trussed were roughly shoved into the back store room. The tall man whirled about and paced back to the counter. From an inside pocket he pulled a small white bag. Then, reaching over, he rung open the shiny cash register. Its musical ding was a happy sound for hlm. Carefully he scooped the bills and silver into the bag. Now! All that remained was the get-away. But then he made his crucial mistake. Laying the bulky bag alongside the groceries on the counter, he paused to stuff a half dozen packages of Camels into his pockets, for the Frisco Kid was a heavy smoker. The Kid's eyes caught the glitter of gold buttons on blue serge as his right hand reached out and blindly grabbed the white bag. With the speed of a man who is deeply frightened he dashed out the door, brushing the cop aside as though he were a fly. . A moment later as the cop was assisting the customer, the venerable merchant re- turned, a quizical smile on his face. I jes' can't understand, he murmured, that bandit fellow left the little bag of cash but took the small white bag of flour.

Moderator EI nl Who Is It? By Mlngo Have you happened to be walk- ing down one of our halls, turned a. corner, and come face to face with what looked like a middle- sized sheep dog? This, dear boy, was commonly known as the Hair, Eric was born in 1934, a per- fectly normal chlld, except for the fact that his hair came about three inches below his feet. When his father saw him for the first time, he promptly took off his bi- focals and stomped on them. On the final day of school last year, two angry members of the barbers' union cornered him in a dark alley and snipped his pompa- dour with a pair of wool shears. Since then Eric has been a broken-hearted boy, so be kind to him, students, and please don't call him I.addie any more. fviojoioiclioitnioioioitxcb PRINTING for Schools . . .

Along with with my cohorts we sit wondering what is to go into this space in the page. It was to be an editorial on school changes but the author didn't write it so We'll see if it is possible to save the day with an editorial of our own making. At the time all of us are a bit discouraged with the entire mess. If we thought it would do any good, we would gather the entire staff together, tell them not to Write articles we can't use, tell them to have some semblance of an article handed in so that when the rag comes out only a few hours from now, the students we are trying to satisfy would be pleased with it. I-Larvey, our editor, just left. That is to say he ran headlong against a wall and cooled himself. Cause: frustration. That leaves only three of us now to carry on. McGuigan is growing weaker. Typing something with two over-worked bleeding hands. Blood all over the keyboard. Poor Harbottle. It makes my heart ache to see him cling desper- ately to his last thread of energy. McGuigan just joined Harvey Beauchamp. Jim's in a coma from loss of blood. Oh no, it ca.n't be, WE'RE FDIISHED! just a Relative When Uncle John was picked up for vagrancy in Tulsa, a degrading charge to put on a man of such high caliber, he was asked, after sentence was passed, what the Ma- jor before his name meant. He was a major during the contest of 1918-19. He got mad at the judge and replied, The same as the honorable before yours, Judge -not a thing! Uncle John told me afterwards that the judge thought the charge was so silly that he gave Uncle a ninety-day lease on one of his apartments. Wasn't that nice of the judge? It only stands to reason that a man of such culture as that magistrate would know Uncle John was no bum. And what a politician! It's too bad they don't let men like him run this country.

Roger Faces Life By Roger Blanchette It has just occurred to me that my prancing, penciling pal, Mike Mlngo, has a gigantic job in skillfully sketching the score of sophisticated sophomores. The fine fantastic fellow of this miserable manuscript was born too. But unlike George Trudnich he had ears instead of hair. Those were his outstanding features, that is. A baby bunny frightened this bonny boy when he was but a little chap. Determined that he should never be frightened again, he decided then that he too would develop extraordinary ears. After years of practice he succeeded in moving both ears up and down, round and round, inside and out and upside down. Then on a day which will always be forgotten, the 32nd day of April 1942.5, lt happened. He was at last success- ful in moving his auditory organs one at a time. Auditists, ear doctors to the deaf, have after extensive study, found his ears valuable not only in holding up hats but also glasses. In an interview, our friend con- fessed that they sometimes come in handy for hearing too. His am- bition is to fold his dumbos over at will. xNNYYYXK'YYYYYYX'XNX'X'X'X' T ' i Q BRIGHAM'S GROCERY o , W. .

Konus 3 6. 95 AT Il Il KIODienstein's II II 935 Broadway ll ll dd By BOB KELLY '49 In Angelo Pentimonti's small Bronx store were to be seen gray sausages, black sausages, old and new sausages, sausages big and small. But there, high above the counter and fastened to the dingy wall was an odd-looking 'fellow that dwarfed every sausage in the shop. Only, the mantel of old age had fallen across this octogenarian and how heavily it had fallen! This prince of sausagedom was brittle and his skin casing was wrinkled and cracked. Surely it could only be its 8-foot length that would preserve it as an oddity. No, it was more than that. For baked right into this nob1eman's chest was a gold-1et- tered black plaque reading: To the Honor of Angelo Penti- monti who by Vote and Workman- ship is Proclaimed the Greatest Sausagemaker in Moslee on This Last Day of October, 1909. Leaves Fatherland He had received this shortly be- fore leaving his beloved Italia for the big new land of America. Dame Learning had never smiled upon Angelo in the states, so he immediately resumed his trade, the only one he knew, sausagemaking, and his fame had spread far and wide. So successful had he become that his store was known to every epicure in greater New York. Today his son was coming home from the big war. Yes, coming home from Italy where he was an American soldier. Today, too, An- gelo labored over a great new sau- sage prince, a rival to the one on the wall he had created 28 years earlier. Yes, and this one would be consumed that night at a Hallow- een party aboard the ship on which all the men were returning home. Closing Time As the city lights began to flick- er on, Angelo closed up the shop and nervously placed his prince in the rear of his panel truck and set out for the pier along Eighth Avenue. 'I'here were swarms of noisy kids in the streets and once Angelo had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting a trio pursued hotly by a furious Chinese laun- dryman. Angelo and I walked down the deck observing the big city in all its Halloween glory. Then Angelo turned and saw his son. He walked before me and cried a little as the metal gray casket was carried down the gangplank. A voice behind me said, Too had about Angelo's son. Seemed like a nice old guy. While still another voice said, Nice of him to give us a Halloween party. The Dagoes is thoughtful that way.' '15 -. me By Bill Finnigan Father Herron, S.J., has taken upon himself a long neglected job, that of stocking our library with a greater number of readable books. This need has been a long- standing one. For many years now the library has lacked many of the books on the recommended list. A great number of the volumes are out of date and worn by long use. But now that enterprising Father Herron has taken over this task we can be certain that he will be stop- ped by nothing short of death. Part of the receipts from the concession stands will go toward this cause. Father Herron has requested that all the students look through their homes for books that could be used. Many of you have such books if you would only take the time to seek them. Senior and junior English teach- ers have been generous enough to award book points for those cc- operating with this plan. Pessemier's Bootery 9I 5 Broadway iff I 342 Pacific In an effort to avoid the incon- venience presented by three separ- ate Religion rooms the junior class officers called a meeting to elect a general chairman of activities. Bill Lavine was selected for the position with Tom Hamilton a close second. More Efficient It is now hoped that activities directed toward their common goal, a Junior-Senior Prom, can be handled with more efficiency. These newly affiliated members of the junior class successfully sponsored the dance after the Bellarmine-Longview game. Thanks to Aquinas Sincere appreciation is ex- tended to the Aquinas girls for their splendid support in this affair. A great deal of effort is being expended to see that their dances are not only a financial success but that they will be a genuine source of enjoyment to all who attend. If determination and inter-class cooperation mean anything, this year appears to be a. fruitful one for the junior class of Bellarmine.

B x LINCOLN BeUSDefwf BELL DECISIO CR H ighclimbers 21-0 By John Harbottle Seemingly refreshed after their rather slow start in the Grid-Go- Round, the ever-improving Lions journeyed to Shelton and swept by the scrappy Highclimbers 21 to U. After a scoreless first period the Lion attack swung into high gear. The Bells 'drove deep into Shelton territory and Pat Olsen took a pass from Matz in the end zone. Late in the third quarter Bren- nan skirted left end for five yards and pay dirt. After an exchange of punts, Denny Vye drove off his left end for 15 yards and another score. A 53-yard sprint by Vye late in the final stanza brought the crowd to its feet but the score ended 21 to 0. The victory was costly however, with Vye receiving a severe leg in- jury and Jim McGuigan, the Bell's No. 1 passer, disloeating his shoulder. Vye was lost to the team for a month and McGuigan in-- definitely. . C ubs Rack Victories Over Parochial Squads After dropping a close 13-6 de- cision to St. Leo's in the opening game of the season, Bella.rmine's mighty Cubs came back with a vengeance, upsetting the powerfull Visitation squad by the score of 20 to 0. Mr. Free's smoothly-fin- ished aggregation next bowled over a badly outclassed Holy Re- sary eleven, 39-0. The Frosh re- ceived a well earned revenge when they fought St. Leo's to a thrilling 6-6 tie during the intermission of the Varsity-St. Martin's game.

A year ago the powerful 'Jacks marred the Lion season by inflicting upon the Bells their lone defeat, an 18 to 13 set- back in the lumber city. Matz-Brennan Score Larry Brennan, fleet-footed Lion halfback, sprinted his way around end for the initial Bellarmine score. Quarterback Don Matz slip- ped across the Longview goal line from the two to make the count 12 to 0. Brennan tallied twice more and the 'Jacks trailed by 24 points as the gun sounded. The Lion forward wall raised havoc with the Longview backs through- out the contest. Tumblers Appear At Father's Night Performing before the entire student body at an assembly, the Bellarmine tumblers again started the year off with a bang. Demon- strating their many and difficult feats the pyramid builders had everyone sitting on the edge of their seats. Boosters Applaud On Tuesday, Oct. 19, Father and Son night, the tumblers appeared before a large crowd of Boosters and friends in the Bell gym. They were enthusiastically received by all. This year sees many new faces, most of them freshmen, ready and raring to go. Under the able direc- tion of Coach Slatt, the tumblers, practicing during their gym class- es, are fast improving. Pigskin -- Patterson X According to reports from the Associated Press, Bellarmine has been registered among the strongest teams in the state. The Lions' thirteen game win streak has attracted no little attention from the sports scribes of the state. Now, me thinks we have a prediction in the making. The winner of the Thanksgiving Day game between Lincoln and Stadium will be the Cross State champion and, with the help of the Lions, second place in the Tacoma city league. Dick Prevelle, ex-Bell athlete, is now star- ring in the role of fullback for the Bellingham Red Raiders and, according to advance notices, has developed into quite a ball player. wk rl vt Call up the florist and get the roses out because it seems the laurels are more deserved than ever. First the plaudits are due to our own coach, Andy Slatt, who has tutored his team to Bellarmine's first city championship and is driving for his second... Since our coach returned from the Marines, his teams in twenty games have only come out on the short end of the score three times. :::::::::::::::::::::::1 PPY TIGE Bellarmine Takes Le In City League Chasi W L P.F.

The Loggers took the opening kickoff on their eight yard line and drove all the way across the Bell goal line. The sus- tained 92 yard drive was spear- headed by left halfback Don Har- per and some pinpoint passing. The Loggers attempted to pass for the extra point but the ball fell incomplete. From this point forward the Lions were in posses- sion of the ball almost all of the time. The Bells penetrated twice deep into Kelso territory only to be turned back by the stout Log- ger defense.

Though outweighed heavily, the Lions outfought the Lynx through- out the second half but were un- able to score. The youthful Bells were repulsed by the Stadium Sophs at the Sta- dium by a narrow 12 to 7 score. Ronnie Schiecz, frosh slgnall caller ran off right guard for the blue and white score. The running of fleet footed Don Martelli kept the Lions in the contest. Two long passes by the Tigers accounted for both touchdowns. The Bell reserves, led by Larry Brennan, mudded their way through the Seattle Prep B squad and emerged victorious by a 12 to 0 score. Never once did the Panthers come within striking dls- tance of the Bell goal line. Journeying to Olympia, the young Bells were decisloned by the Bear seconds, 12 to 0.

This year the respon- sibility will be assumed by the combined efforts of the advisory board and the Editors of the Sa- Le-Hi, with the cooperation of the Aquinas Echoes and the Bellar- mine Lion. Four States Invited All parochial high schools in the sta-tes of Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho are invited to send representatives of their papers to the conference. The con- ference itself consists of the lec- tures concerning different phases of the betterment of a school paper. The convention will primarily start with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered at St. Leo's Church followed by the registra- tion. The rest of the morning will be spent in a general assembly and two lectures. After several more lectures the conference will be concluded with Benediction. This will be followed as always, by a dinner-dance for enjoyment of the entire assem- blage. The whole purpose of this Press Conference is to raise the stan- dards of Catholic High School publications.

Such programs as this proves to be a vital factor for the youths of today. The Campus Radio Theater will be heard every Wednesday night throughout the academic year. January Date This year the program started with a rendition by St. Leo's. It is believed that Bellarmine will prove their thespianic accom- plishments sometime in January. The director for these affairs at Bellarmine will be Mr. Michael Taylor, S.J., who is director for the Mask and Dagger Club. New Member Joins Bellarmine Staff Last week a new face was seen around the Bellarmine campus. This new teacher who just entered the portals of Bellarmine High School is Mr. John C. Murray S.J. He graduated from Gonzaga in 1941 and has been in the Jesuit order for seven years. Mr. Murray has just completed two and a half months of service at the De Smet Mission in Idaho where he taught the Couer d'Alene Indian boys. Before entering the Idaho mis- sion he studied his philosophy for three years at Mt. St. Michael's in Spokane. Mr. Murray's duties at Bellar- mine will consist of teaching, typ- ing algebra, and first year Latin. COM. POSPISIL Pictured above is Lt.

And just think-only four more years and we'll be seniors, running the school's activities as we see fit. Freshmen seem to be the un- derdogs here, but then that's to be expected. Look at Billy Kirshil. Already he has donated his efforts to the school in several ways, and man- aged to make the first honor roll. Then we have Dwain Bedel, who lectures his class when Mr. seaver is out of the room. John Gallucci and Don Kaperick are the only freshmen who gained a place on the A honor roll this quarter and naturally if they keep this up we can tell who will be Valadictorlan in 1953. Jerry Antush is making competi- tion for his big brother in the junior class as are Larry Renner whose fabulous brother led in Lat- in class for four consecutive years. Theatrical talent speaks of greater things to come. So just watch our speed, folks. The class of '53 is on it's way up.

He went to St. Leo's grade school for eight years, and capti- vated them by his charms, won the scholarship to Bellarmine. He has struggled through four hard years up here just as his brother pre- ceding him, and he has been on the honor roll a few times. Short, powerful legs, muscular chest, brains set deep in the head are all qualities of Bellarmine's best duck hunter. One fellow that I can't keep track of is Leo 0'Dore. He was born in Butte Montana, came to Tacoma and dear old'St. Pat's, went to St. Edwards Seminary in his freshman year for one year, went to Louistown, Montana in his SENIORS sophomore year and finally in his junior year landed at Bellarmine. This boy is tall, dark, and was on crutches at the beginning of the year. Do you know why he was on crutches? He mistook an open man hole for an accelerator and stepped on it. Be .careful now. We -are ap- proaching a more dignified per- son. I didn't say parson. There are only a few of these healthy speci- mens in Bellarmine, unfortunately. That's right. I am speaking of Joe Pizzo Zippy , who is a member of the hairy chested Kay Street Gang. Joe also went to St. Leo's for eight years and walked away with the other scholarship. Up here he has been on the honor roll almost constantly. During the summer months Joe usually trav- les with the circus lifting weights. That is how he developed those enormous muscles you see under his eyes. QF ads on Grads The honor roll of Santa Clara having recently been announced, found Ted Gelshannon '41 with a 2.60 grade point average.

Such a man was the Rev. Peter Francis Hylebos. He proved himself an outstanding man and American. In addition, he has manifested administrative l l ability of a high order, wisely! directing the interest under his care as they grew with the little village into the Metropolitan city of today. He was connected with the work of the Catholic church in the Northwest as early as 1870. From 1880 until 1911 was pastor of St. that in 1883 he was named Indian commissioner and had an import- ant role in settling the differences between the Indians and the United States government. He secured an appropriation of well over 5300.000 for these schools, thus making one of the first steps toward making the original Amer- icans fine citizens. Finally Father Hylebos was forced to surrender his post be- icause of ill health and returned l l l Leo's Church and for 25 years' held the office of Vicar General of the Diocese of Seattle. He gained not only high prestige in his clerical work, but also the sincere affection of everyone in' the Northwest who knew him re- gardless of race or creed. to Tacoma. Father Hylebos was the last of early Catholic missionaries who served the Northwest and is rec- ognized by all as one of the real! builders of Tacoma. I As a final tribute to Father Hylebos, the governor of Wash-' ington, upon hearing of his death, said We have indeed suffered a greater loss than words will ever describe. Few men have worked so diligently for God or country. Bonus N otches, Cisco 1The following article tells thel story of a Russian school teacher whose head was so hard she push- ed it through the iron curtain and escaped to safety. For security rea- sons we cannot disclose her name.J. The first year I spent in Russia was Grape Year. Everyone went about throwing grapes and seeds on the ground and singing the Russian National Anthem- You Can't Tell the Depth of the Well by the Length of the Handle on th-e Pump. Our Communist leader at that time was Slemuck Polisezepants- off, who addressed us over the ra- dio each evening. At the end of each program he would say Bo- nus Notches and now, Good Night. Thereupon we would all bow and say Si Cisco , pledging allegiance in this fashion. At this time a radical force was working in Russia which demand- By Bob Storwick ii.. ed some of the higher-ups in the government be presented with the question Are you a Republican? Polisezepantsoff, our great leader allowed himself to be questioned so that he could set the mode for other Russians. The investigation by duly enforced authority indi- cated that he hadn't changed a bit-he was still a bum. Naturally we were all glad to hear that our leader was doing no better than the rest of us. By this time we were again cel- ebrating the Grape Season. Not one grape hung on any vine in Russia, but this was a minor set- back. Again we danced and sung th-e second verse to the national anthem, a tribute to Lenin. Then again we all bowed and said Si Cisco. Nevertheless we were all dying of starvation. The platypus is a little mole- like animal found in Australia. On his legs he has webbed feetg on his face he has a bill and a dumb look. There is no reason for this. The platypus just does it to look different. He is the only ani- mal with a new look. He sure has a flashy chassis. Again? The platypus is the only mam- mal that lays eggs. There is no reason for this. When the baby platypuses hatch, they don't look like muchg but when they grow up, they don't look like much either, so who cares? The female platypus is much smaller than the male, and there is a reason for this: so that she can crawl up into the nest more easily than her fat husband. He puts big rocks along his dark tunnels. This is silly, because the front door ls under water and nobody but a platypus can get in, anyway. So now we leave Mr. and Mrs. Platypus and journey home to our own U.S.A. where there are no queer animals except my editor, and there is no reason for this. Johnson Candy Co.

The plucky little Vancouver squad stopped several Bell thrusts deep in the Cana- dians' territory. Failing in two first quarter scoring attempts, the Lions tallied the initial count in the sec- ond quarter. Ed McCarthy slashed on a hand off, between guard and tackle to score for the Slattmen. Mulhern Races Led Muihem took the kickoff opening the third quarter and ran 92 yards down the field to counter for Vancouver. The Vics missed the conversion so the count re- mained Bellarmine 7, Vancouver College 6.: Striking back quickly, the Lions drove 'll yards on a prolonged drive finding Vye scooting across for the second Bel- larmine touchdown. Midway in the final stanza Bill Payne charged through the aVncouver line and blocked a Vancouver punt for an automatic safety. 'I'he Bells con- verted a.nd held a healthy 16 to 6 lead over the still scrappy Vics. Bell Pass Stopped In the closing minutes Pete Gregory, sterling Vancouver tackle intercepted a pass from Don Mar- telli and raced 53 yards to the Lions' 12 yard line. A line play netted the Vics exactly nothing. On the next play the College elev- en tallied on a pass into the end zone. The conversion split the cross bars and the contest ended with the score 16 to 13. KAY STREET GRILL Hamburgers and : Fountain Serivce I IO4 So.

First of the three to attain the high honor was Diamond Joe Paglia. Joe, after playing fullback for Bellarmine Went to Santa Clara where he was the main cog in the Bronco attack in the 1932 season. The other two Bell Grads that reached fame at the Jesuit Uni- versity were Joe Salatino and Joe Spadafore. Salatino was named quarterback on the all coast eleven while Spad- afore, who played fullback at Bel- larmine was chosen at all coast guard. Both men were named to the team in 1934. BURLY BRCYY-C0 Tom Payne, aggressive Santa Clara tackle, is fast making a name for himself as a collegiate star. Tom, a Bell grad, was one of the main cogs in Santa Clara's upset of Nevada. R ILSPLITTERS EDGE SLATTME Lynx Overtake Bellarmine in Waning Minutes of Playg Lead City League The Lincoln Railsplitters slip- ped by the previously undefeated Bellarmine Lions last Friday ev- ening at the Lincoln bowl 16 to 13. It was the first defeat in 15 straight games for Bellarmine, only a tie with Kelso marring the Lions' record since their loss to the Longview Lumberjacks in September of last year. Hockey Is Near For Bell Students The sound of sticks banging ing against the ice and pucks crashing against boards is once again ringing through the halls of Bellarmine as Tacoma's high school hockey conference goes into its second year of competition as one of Tacoma's most popular and exciting sports. This season may prove to be even more successful than yast year, since all four schools, Bellarmine, Lincoln, Sta- dium and Clover Park will have loads of returning lettermen. Doug Adam, Tacoma Rocket forward, will be back again to mentor the Lions. He will be assisted by Mr. Collins S.J., who was quite a hockey player himself in his high school days. Grads Leave The Bells lost only six players from last year's squad. Bill Miller. Jim McPhai1, John Knelleken, Mell Heide, Mike Kuhns, and Joe Lemon all graduated last June. This season's schedule consists of nine games, three each with Stadium, Lincoln and Clover Park's defending champions. Coach Adam has also slated some pre- season practice games. Last year's pucksters started rather slowly but finished strong. In their last two contests, the Lions tied the powerful Railsplit- ters and dropped a close 1-0 de- cision to Clover Park's champs. Attendance comparable to last year is expected at all the games. Tom Piper took George Chapin's kickoff on the eight yard line and returned it to the 15 yard line Denny Vye took the ball directly from the center cut to the left sideline and scooted 85 yards for a TD. Piper bowled his way over for the extra point and the scoreboard read Bellarmine 7, Lincoln 0. Seconds later a Lion fumble was recovered by the Lynx on the Bell 8 yard line. A pass from Viafore to Huffman connected and New- hart converted to knot the count. T'he Lions drove from the Rail- splitter 44 yard line to the 7. Tom Piper spun off his right side and hula-hipped his way across the goal line to put the Lions out in front 13 to 7. Lynx Tally Lincoln garnered 2 more points early in the third quarter when two of Farre1l's kicks were block- ed, the second in the end zone for an automatic safety. With several minutes having elapsed in the fourth quarter Viafore skirted the Lynx left end for a 56 yard touch- down sprint. The Lion's efforts to get back into the ball game in the waning minutes of the contest proved futile and the gun sounded with the scoreboard reading Lin- coln 16, Bellarmine 13. Although the Slattmen led in downs 7 to 5, the Lynx outrushed the Lions 181 yards to 156 yards. Lincoln's vaunted aerial attack was stopped by the alert Bell sec- ondary. The Lynx were only able to complete one pass throughout the contest. Starting lineups: Bellarmine 4133 Lincoln C167 Olsen ..........,.. .LER ....... Huffman Jensen ............ LTR, ....,,,.

Before a sell-out crowd. the Dramatic clubs of Bel- larmine and Aquinas re-enacted Clifford Goldsmith's hilarious comedy, WHAT A LIFE. The play was a great success at both the matinee and the evening por- formance. Thanks! The success of this production depended on the cooperation of many loyal friends, the faculty and students of both Bellarmine High School and Aquines Acad- emy. Particular thanks should be given to Mr. Meany S.J., for the wonderful job he did on the scen- ery. Also, thanks should be given to the stage crew, the organist, Mrs. R. M. Kenton, the Bellarmine Lions Club and the Aquines Ac- admey usherettes, and to Mr. J. V. Griffith for their welcomed help. Acknowledgements should also be given to the ladies who took care of the reservations. Words of Gratitude There are words to express the gratitude owed to Mr. M.

Expenses encotmtered in the trip were taken care of by the profits gained by the refreshments sold at home basketball games by the club. Practice Meets Held Practiw meets with Holy Angels, O'Dea, Auburn and Stadium have proved an effective testing grounds, for the argument. Both sides of the question, Re- solved: That the United Nations be Revised into a Federal World Government, were handled by each of the two teams sent. New Members Mr. Danel, S. J., moderator, states that other members on the club roster are shaping up and will be used later in the year. He is specially hopeful for the chances of a new team, Tom Komell-Bob Storwick, who met and stopped a more experienced team from Holy Angels in Seattle. Mr. Danel has also informed the club that two members shall be sent to McNeil Island to meet a team from the prison in formal debate sometime in January. The first event of the year presented by the freshmen will take place tomorrow night at the Bellarmine gymnasium. This is a dance presented by the combined efforts of three freshman rooms, rooms 1, 2 and 4. These freshmen have as moderators, Mr. Danel, S. J., Mr. Free, S. J., and Father Harris. S. J. Their consentlon was given to them by the office through the student council. The freshmen of Bellarmine are putting the dance on for the freshmen of Aquinas, St. Leo's and Visitation Villa. The dance will be free and is limited to freshmen of these four schools only. Bene is your chance, freshmen, let us make it a success.

J., with the combined efforts of the Thes- pians of Aquinas Academy and Bellarmine High School. These talented students will not only gain invaluable experience but also uplift the name of the school just one more step. We, the Lion staff, were sur- prisingly told that Bishop Francis Doyle Gleason, S. J., who was elected just last year as Bishop, visited Bellarmine over the week- end. Most Bell alumni would re- member him as he taught at Bellarmine some years ago. Recently the members of the Bellarmine Students Form 'Melody Makers' In case you don't know who the Melody Makers are, here's your chance to find out. The Melody Makers are a group of talented Bellarmine students who wanted to see their names in print. Now the easiest way of course would be to commit murder or suicide but no, not for these boys. They decided to do it the hard way-by starting a dance band. The band consits of Steve Elliot and Darrel Brittain, trumpetsg Don Charleson and Harry Raach, saxophonesg Ronald Mason, piano, and Joe Weyer, drums. This industrious group have played at several of the social events sponsored by Bellarmine. They will be conveyed to the public for the first time when they will perform before the Cardinal Club on Thursday, December 23. If I Junior Citizens Speak Program were entertained to a dinner at the Top of the Ocean. Among the Bell students were, Thomas Koeh- ler, Joseph Grubb, William Lavine, Alan Tait, Bob Pospisil and Har- vey Beauchamp. Their dinner con- sisted of a full course meal called Smorgasborg. Wow! That's a new one for the Russians. The word spirit has been placed before practically everyone at Bellarmine at one time or an- other. This word cannot be em- bedded into your minds deep enough. There is one yell that fascinates us, You make the bas- kets, we'll make the noise. Laying all cracks aside let us all really make some noise for our team, whether they are losing or win- ning. Ski Trips Offered to High School Students Round about this time every year, skiing has become a. favorite sport. In order that high school students may learn this art, in- structions will be given, starting January 9. The instructors are to be all outstanding skiers them- selves and also have accomplished the ways of teaching it. Mr. Burns of the Milwaukee Railroad has chartered two trains for high school students only to travel to Snoqualmie Pass and spend one or two days worthily.

I was calmly going down someone's chimney, minding my own business when some guy dressed in blue takes me away. It seems they thought I was a communist. But why didn't you come down the chim- ney like you used to. asked Jimmy. Very old fashioned: besides some wise guy in Los Angeles left a fire in the fireplace-very un- comfortable, I must say . . . But you don't even have a beard. Bur- ma Shave, replied the old gent. I never would be without it. Not since my Moscow visit. They accused me of being a hoarder to grow such a beard when some of the women had to go without. I would have been executed but I happened to have my red flannels with me. When they saw these, they let me go. But you're so thin, Santa, remarked the boy. Well, son, you would be too, said the old man slowly. The people of Italy mistook me for the ghost of Mussolini. Besides there's no place for fat people in the 'new look' Santa Claus costumes. That is with the longer pants and open toed boots.

Rovai played tackle and guard for the Lion gridders, useing his 195 pounds to their best advantage. Although Rovai started only one contest throughout the season, he played a major part in the successful Bell line play. Louie was the Lion number one tackle replacement for Jensen and Payne whose im- pressive line play drew numerous plaudits. Rovai won his first chenille this year after playing for the Lion sophomores as a freshman and a sophomore. Rovai was quick to develop this year and promises to be a bulwark for Bellarmine's fu- ture grid hopes. Next year's senior returning lettermen with Rovai will be Larry Brennan, Larry Mar- ley, Tom Hamilton, Bob Anderle, Paul Pazaruskl and Tom Eckroth. These seniors will lead Bellarmine in her quest for the City League crown and her fourth consecutive Catholic League crown.

Sophs Undefeated In Pre-Season Play The high stepping Lion soph- omores have yet to lose a single contest in pre-season play. Listed among the Bells' conquests are Mason, Jason Lee, Marymount, and the Seattle Prep sophomores. The youthful Lions, under the cap- able coaching hand of Mr. Harold Free S.J., are in hasty prepara- tion for the coming City league contests. The city sophomore basketball league consists of five teams, namely, the Lincoln go1ds , the Lincoln blacks , the Stadium blues , the Stadium go1ds , and the sophomore team from Bellar- mine. This system was first put into effect last year and the Bell yearlings walked away with the trophy. Arrangements are being made to play several sophomore games as preliminary contests to the varsity games. Slattmen Entertain South Kitsap Team The Lion was safely tucked away last night when the vaunted invaders from South Kitsap met the fighting Bells last night. This is only the second year that the two squads have met. Last year the Lions suffered defeat at the hands of South Kitsap by a single point on the Bell maples. Bells Edged The Northmen led by Allstate Howard Brooks and six feet eight inch Dave Roberts barely edged out the Slattmenin the final seconds of play. From then South Kitsap fought into the state tournament and emerged fourth in a field of sixteen.

In the second evening of play the Slattmen polished off the Eaton- ville Cruisers in the opening tilt by scoring a 17 to 15 victory. The Abes from Lincoln proceeded to take Clover Park, placing the Lions and Lynx in the champion- ship contest. Bellarmine got away to a. 2-0 lead in the early minutes of play with a pivot shot by Jim Gafflkin. However baskets by Newhart and Koessler put the Lynx out in front until the Lions knotted the count at ten all. Two field goals by the Abes and a free throw by Gaffiken left the score at 14 to 11 in the Lynx' favor at the half. In the third period the Lions retaliated with quick points while holding the Lailsplitters to a. sin- gle score. A series of Lynx and Bell tallies left the Lions ahead 21-19 with two minutes and 30 seconds remaining.

A former , There is an important date com- ing up on the school calendar. This is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Most of you fellows prob- ably remember that when you were in grade school great stress was plac-ed on this man's birthday and deeds. The reason for this is that he was a poor man. It is perfectly natural for a, man born of rich parents to have money: but when a man is born poor, it is considered a great feat for him to rise from his poverty into the realms of success. Now his accomplishments and his attitude on life can be and should be your guiding star. If you want to turn out for a sport although you have no reputation or probability of being successful, you will be doing a great thing for yourself and your school, be- cause when you do prove yourself to be good and a hard fighter, you will have conquered yourself and your obstacles. So, although Lincoln's birthday isn't observed as strictly as it was in 1865, let's still observe his atti- tude and try to imitate him in his virtues.

J , v i 'Q A ny THIS TUESDA' Bells Defeat Irish On Seattle Floor The Lions of Bellarmine emerged victorious over the O'Dea Irish in a slow-moving contest on the Se- attlites' court, 27 to 19. The Irish were unable to penetrate the air- tight Bellarmine zone defense and refused to put the ball into play, holding it in mid court. The score at the quarter was 4 to 3 and at the half 9 to 8 in favor of Bellar- mine. In the second half the Irish were completely stymied and were unable to score more than 11 points. Several quick baskets by the Bells in the closing minutes of play made the score Bellarmine 27, O'Dea 19. Doherty Held. Jack Doherty, O'Dea's high scor- ing center, was held to a Single field goal throughout the contest. Pat Olsen and Bill Payne, with seven points apiece, led the Lions in the scoring column. The Lions now have one win and one loss in Catholic League competition. Bell Soph Quintet Second in City Loop The Bell hoopsters, ranking second ln the City Sophomore chase, have dropped only three games so far this season. The fast moving youthful Lions have drop- ped contests to Jason Lee, the Lin- coln Golds and South Kitsap. Dropping in defeat at the Sophs' hands have been Mason, Mary- mount, Seattle Prep, Jason Lee, McCarver, Stadium Golds and the Stadium Blues. Michaelson Captain Little Del Michaelson, who cap- tains the spunky basketeers, has led the team in scoring. With the season yet young and the Lions having only a single loss in the City Sophmores race the picture looks bright for the Bell yearlings. The team consists of Del Michael- son, Ronnie Schiez, Mike Strong, Don Kershul, Tom Thompson, Jim George, Bill Burke, Fred Remeto, Eugene Franck and Dan Rigney. E 'North Kitsap Viks iDefeat Slattmen For the second time this year' the North Kitsap Vikings subdued the scrappy Bells. The contest played on the Poulsbo maples was fast and furious with the Vikes on the long end of a 38 to 33 score. A prime factor in the Vikings' suc- cess was the accuracy of big Don Hanson who garnered 19 points. The margin of victory was in the free throw column where North Kitsap's consistency paid off. The Slattmen jumped to an im- pressive first quarter and halftime lead. However, in the second half of play Mr. Hanson began his scor- ing spree. This, combined with a successful fast-breaking offense, ruined the day for the Lions. A last quarter splurge proved futile as the Bell rally fell short.

The Bengals took a quick first period lead and held it until midway in the second quarter. The Slattmen then waxed hot and were leading 17 to 16 as the half time buzzer sounded. Dur- ing the second half, the Tigers were completely outplayed with Hermsen and Jensen bucketing shots from every angle. Hermsen led the scoring with 15 points fol- lowed by Jensen with 13. These two Goliaths tallied more points than the entire Stadium squad. Lions Edged Defeat was bitter on January 11 as the Lions were edged by the Lincoln Railsplitters 29 to 27. Both squads started out quickly but the action soon switched to a defensive contest. Lincoln led at the end of the first period 9 to 8 but the Lions recovered the lead at half- time, 16 to 15. The two squads ex- changed basket for basket during the second half bringing the fren- zied crowd continually to its feet. With the score tied 27 to 27 and 10 seconds remaining, Glenn Huff- man, Linco1n's pivotman, dropped in the deciding counter.

Musical Revue to Be Presented Soon No, it's not that every one has, all of a sudden, fallen in love with the good old Wabash. The reason that everyone seems to be singing this gay little number is that it is the song used in the try-outs for the annual musical. This musical has only been in existence for two years: it is sure to be an annual affair. The two former productions, namely the Sunbonnet Girl and In Old St. Louis , have been great suc- cesses. Music Revue But this year everyone is in for a big surprise. The musical production will not be an Operetta, as in former years, but will be in the line of a musical revue. It will begin with an elderly couple, who will relate back fifty years to 1899 when the couple were mar- ried. Golden Anniversary They will continue relating the highlights of their story until the year 1949, their golden wedding anniversary. All the hit tunes over this fifty year span will be sung. The entire script which is being written by Sr. Lavinia and Max Frolic, has not been completed, but will be in the near future. The nnain characters of the produc- tion will be selected during the early part of this week. LOOKING AI-IEAD Mar. Mar. Mar Mar Mar Mar.

After 30 minutes of the conventional drib- ble, during which I tried to ap- pear unconcerned save for an oc- casional sigh and impatient whistle, she says, You don't want anything, do you? I told the dear lady that I wanted a modern dra- matic reading. She said she dldn't have any, so I asked for Shakes- peare. It was there that I learned that Shakespeare died some time ago. So we settled with the phone number of the Dripping Dagger Declamation Bureau. I called this number. Hello, said a sweet voice, Dripping Dagger Declama- tion Bureau. Dessertations for de- cadent decliners. Do you have on file any dramatic readings? She read her files to me. They in- cluded Eleanor Roosevelt's My Day , Emily Post's Party Man- ners and a revised transcript of John's Other Wife. But truly, I said impatiently, I want an elo- cution piece not an obituary. ATB you complaining, she said? With- out thought I replied an empha- tic Yes. One moment sir, I'll connect you with the complaint department. But I don't want the complaint department, I shrieked. All I want is . . Hello, complaint department, Mr. Pea- winkle speaking. Do you Wish to file a complaint? .... No, I want Rhon's Jether Hife, er John's Oth- er Wife, er . . ., I mean a dramatic reading. Then why did you call the complaint department? He connected me with the manager. I-Iello, can I do anything for you sir? I felt sick. Yes, I sobbed. I want Peawinkle, er . . . an elocution piece. Please send me an elocution piece. Hurry, or I'll go mad. He said that he was go- ing to connect me with the Mall Order department, but before he could do so, I quietly ripped the phone from the wall and thereupon entered into my present state of Bacchanlllian Bliss. ::::i:::L::::::::::::: Tricks-Jokes-Magic Costumes-Tuxedos Neal E.

Regimbal Talks to Seniors About College Tuesday, February 15 was a red letter day for the seniors at Bell- armine High School. On that day the Rev. Regimbal, S.J., Dean of Gonzaga University, honored the graduating class with a short talk on college life. He outlined the various require- ments needed to enter Gonzaga University and discussed different courses which a student could take in order to prepare for his future vocation in life. The most dis- cussed topics dealt with the var- ious curriculum offered by the colleges of arts and sciences, law, business administration, engineer-- ing, education, pre-law and pre- dental.

We wish to join our voices to that large chorus in singing the praises of our fine team and coach. Congratulations! It wk ll' Speaking of the state tourna- ment we hope the reason for such poor attendance of Bell supporters at the last two games was due to a lack of money and conveyance rather than school spirit. ik lk Ill A wonderful opportunity has been afforded each and every Bell- armine student to earn extra spending money together with doing a favor for our benevolent benefactors, the Bellarmine Boost- ers. With the sale of each Booster raffle book a student may make for himself the no small sum of two dollars. To further instigate sales the office has promised a holiday to each student selling two books. Here is our chance, fellows, to pay back the Boosters for the many favors they have given us.

ROTC Schedules Spring Inspection With the advent of spring, ac- tivity at the R.O.T.C. headquarters has taken on a new tempo. Prep- arations for the outside training are now being put into operation. Consequently the marching of feet resounds from wall to wall. The Major and his associates are reaching' for perfection this year, and with the continual cooperation of the cadets thus far shown, this goal may well be attained. With such an encouraging report the present battalion may surpass the records of the previous year, which were c-onsidered excellent. Spring Inspection This outside training is also in preparation for the annual spring inspection, which is to be held soon. As in the past the inspection will be conducted by some four or five officers from the 6th Army headquarters. This year's editorship will he turned over to Bill Finne- gan, replacing this year's editorial head, Harvey Beauchamp. Along with him is Thomas Koehler to fill the shoes of assistant editor, prev- iously handled by Jack Bader. In pages three and four is Jim Martin busily engaged in the feature page given to him by Bob Storwick. In the sports department is James McGuigan showing John Barte- netti the principles and rules of this section. Seniors to Cage Most of the aforementioned sen- iors will now turn their journalist- ic attention to the Cage. Also on the agenda, the Lion staff will be revamped, This year several freshmen have shown their ability to write and thus their names will be placed on the masthead for monthly writers. It is rumored that the Lion staff will present an annual spring ban- quet upon which the entire staff will enjoy a tasty meal.

MAin 1291 728 Pacific Avenue Tacoma, Wash. rnrifixinn Yes, Jesus Christ was condemned to death. A man whose soul purpose on this earth was to save souls and produce kindness and charity in people's hearts. Only five days before, people were placing palms before His feet, bowing before Him, adoring Him. As they prepared for their ruthless trudge to Mt. Sanai, Christ kept repeating as if it were ritual: Father forgive them for they know not what they do. The heavy cross was laid upon His weakening shoulders. People spat upon Him. They smeared and made fun of Him. The journey was at last begun and the first step of His leaden feet toward certain death thus occurred. For 39 years Jesus knew about this treacherous occasion. He knew of the engrossing sorrow, yet to come, as step by step He neared the top of the mountain. Exhausted by the heavy cross He fell to the ground. Quickly the strong hands of His temporary aggressors tightened about His nimble body and pulled Him hurriedly to His feet. He said nothing but started to walk up the mountain trail. By now His holy body was perspiring heavily and bleeding sores definitely began to be apparent on His shattered body. Twice He fell and even a third time, but still pray- ing under this terrible torture. Eventually the top was reached. The cross was taken from His shoulder and driven into the ground. After what seemed like many hours, His garments were stripped and long aching spikes were pounded into the tender hands of a man who said the first Mass. Again harsh words were spoken by the crowd. Road to Heaven Mr. Twilby Von Pretzledunker sat bolt upright in bed. It was Ash Wednesday morning. As he slowly pulled on his sox all the gen- erous Lenten resolutions he had formulated the night before seeped into his brain whence they had drained as he fell asleep eight hours ago. Absolutely no smoking. No desserts at table. And so on, and so on. His dressing, shaving, etc. completed, Twilby V.P. bowlegged his way down the stairs and bellied up to the breakfast table. Coffee. Cream. Sug . . . Nope! No sugar! We-e-ll! Twilby took a sideways glance at the kitchen door. No Mrs. V.P. in sight. Sugar in his coffee just this once wouldn't hurt. He reached. A housecoat sailed into the room topped by a forest of curlers. Twilby unreached. 'Morning, dear, Twilby murmured. No sugar. Victory number one for the Lord. Breakfast passed in silence save for the clink of dishes and the rattle of silverware. Twilby finished his coffee. Already he was dying for a smoke. Minutes passed. He sat there waiting for Mrs. V.P. Little packages of Luckies floated tantalizingly past his mind's eye. LSXMFT. How could he stand this for six weeks? Then it happened. Mrs Von Pret- zledunker, whose Lenten resolutions differed from Twilby's drew a cigarette from the pocket of her housecoat, placed it firmly into her mouth. Then she lit it and a thick jet of fragrant smoke shot across the table smack into Twilby's face. With a cold sweat glist- ening on his brow, Twilby heaved his chair back from the table and dashed upstairs. As his room door slammed behind him he fumbled in his vest pocket with trembling fingers. Out came a gold cigarette case. Twilby cast a guilty look at the holy picture on the wall, then sighed and opened the case. Not one cigarette left! A grin widened slowly on Twilby's face, and he winked at the holy picture. Victory number two for the Lord. A few minutes later and Mr. Twilby Von Pretzledunker was on his way down Tyler street toward the office. tCoptinued on Page 87 Pil li lil El El ill lillil lgl lillillillg Johnson-Cox Company - Printers of The Lion - Specializing in all School Printing Programs, Tickets, Annuals, Papers Office Forms, Textbooks, 5 Graduation Name Cards, Personal , Stationery, Formal Phone sndwy 2238. 724-726 Pacific Avenue - El El ia in mlm izillzlmizlzizi ia is in iz Invitations, etc. PAGE FOUR T H E L I 0 N ANU 4 B B S ' cv .I Q ' The Lion enw' 1- 'l hip f A Prabiisnea mtontlilly cruigngt th?

Harvey was born the always car- ries his birth certificate around in his shoe to prove itl in or about the year 1931. Let me see now, 31 and 49. Why, that will make him eighty years old when he graduates. How time flies. Is he good looking? Boy! Is he smart? Boy! Does he have H good build? Boy! Are all the girls crazy about him and is he the smoothest crea- ture in the school? Boy! I sure wish I didn't have to answer all these questions. I should have quit when I asked if he was born. Even then I couldn't be sure. Thomas Piper's first name is a word derived from the Hebrew, meaning twin. Don't tell me there's another one like that. I didn't think that lightning would strike twice in the same face, er, place. Well, anyway, the main thing that I can mention about Tom is that he has been an outstanding foot- ball player. In fact, he has been standing out so much that they think he is the referee. That's where he made 1.11 the touchdowns. He has even been named Charles Atlas by some of the boys around the school. And others . . . ! Well, what difference does it make? He knows when they're calling him. As for his likes and dislikes, he likes sundaes.

During the month of March the sodalists sent a large spiritual bouquet as a birthday gift to His Holiness Pope Pius the twelfth. Every member participated in this great event to help the Holy Father. The spiritual bouquet was inscribed on a scroll of very beau- tiful flowery design by a patient of the Cushman Indian Hospital. Another activity to be sponsored by the Sodality, announced at their last meeting by Rev. Father Lynch, S.J., is their annual clothes drive. Knowing the hearts of the Bellarmine students as I do, Father Lynch said, I know this drive will be a. great success. This benefit to the Alaska Mis- sions is certainly a wonderful work the sodality has set out to do, so let us of Bellarmine do all we can to help. ueer, Ins' t lt?

Pictured above is one of the many action-thrilled moments which took place at the Tacoma Ice Palace, March 25. This particular game between Clover Park and Bellarmine marked the Lions' first win of the two years of Tacoma. High School Hockey. In the above picture is the Clover Park goalie deflecting a shot taken by Ed Schibig. Also shown from Bellarmine is George Jurich. At the end of the game the score, Bells 5, Clover Park 4. Flashing blades and swinging sticks are once more at rcst and stored away as the 1948-49 hockey season colncs to a closc. The Bellarnline sextette closed the second year of high school hockey with a hard-won victory over Clover Park in all overtinlc. This win is the first for the Lions since the starting of the league. Early Lead The first tally came by Bellar- mine's Joe Hamilton, assisted by Francis Troup at 9:53 of the first period. Then early in the second period of play the Bells scored again. But the Warriors netted three goals in succession to give them a one-goal lead at the close of the period. Third period scoring was nip and tuck all the way, with the Chiefs scoring once and the Bells twice. Confident, the pucksters skated onto the ice for the overtime and after four minutes of play Francis Troup scored to win the game for the Bells. Mr. Collins S. J. announces that the hockey letters will be given out in the near future to those players that earned ' them.

We are well aware of the fact that competition in the tourney was very keen. The players did their best, that's good enough for us. Coach Slatt predicts that Bellarmine will be right back in Seattle next year. We hope Coach Slatt's ability to foretell the future parallels his coaching skills. Congratulations are in order to the hockey team. Yes sir, they finally won their first game since the formation of the league last year, thus proving the old adage, If at first you do not succeed, try, try again. We, the supporters of the ice squad wish to thank Rockets Doug Adam and Ronnie Rowe for their excellent coaching chores in the past season. May we be the first to wish our new baseball coach, Mr. M. Collins S.J., a successful season. With such a dirth of lettermen and new material he will probably have just that. What happened to that hitherto illustrious group, the Bell Tumblers? Since their previous performances have been so enjoyable, we hope that a group of boys like this will continue their interesting fetes. Freshmen Finish Successful Season After closing a very successful season of 51 games, the Cubs are proudly boasting 35 games won. In the Boys' Club under 16 league they finished second in both halves of the league. 'I'he Cubs ran up a total of 1539 points to their op- ponents' 1230. The Cubs averaged 30 points a game to their opon- ents' 24 points per game. Nineteen Lettermen There are 19 boys receiving let- ters.

Indian Hospital Asks Students to Entertain Walking down the long corri- dors, a silence surrounds us, which is always the environment in hos- pitals. Especially a hospital that has tuberculosis patients, because the main treatment in the cure of tuberculosis is rest. But they must have some diversion or their mor- ale is extremely low. With this in mind the patients at the Cushman Indian Hospital started a request program, with the help of some nurses and at- tendants. This program is made up of record playing and enter- tainers. Students from various high schools in Tacoma have par- ticipated in this request program at Cushman, and now the Bellar- mine students are being asked to contribute their talents. Would you be interested in help- ing cheer up hundreds of patients by playing some musical instru- ment for a few short minutes? Would you care to donate some sort of records for their request program, new, old or different? If' there is anyone interested, please get in touch with Bob La Porte.

After graduation he was a student officer in the Air Corps cadets, and was commissioned and re- ceived his wings at the end of the war. After a year at Gonzaga Uni- versity, he entered the Jesuit No- vitiate. Here, after only a year, he was attacked by the terrible scourge, cancer, and died in ex- treme agony within a short time.

'-a..4mihd J By Mike What am I doing here? I asked myself, as the nurse wheeled me up the hospital corridor. I did not know, so I got no answer. I was wheeled into a little room with a bed in it. The nurse began to remove my coat. Stop! I said, 'Tm still movable! She stepped out and I proceeded to disrobe myself. I looked around for one of those famous hospital night- gowns. I found one, looked at it, and put on my pajamas. Plagued by Pills After I had climbed into the little bed the nurse came in with a small tray. Ahh-food, I thought. Then I looked again. On the tray were big pills, little pills, green pills and pink pills. I was one of the lucky ones. I g-ot seven big white ones. How do they taste? she asked, as she rammed them down my throat. Glumpf. phlugh! I replied as she left. Sneak Attack That afternoon I was resting comfortably in bed with my back turned toward the wall, Suddenly I felt a stabbing pain. 'tOww! I yelled. WHA HOPPENH' It's only penicillin, I was told. You will get it every three hours from now on. Sneak! I shouted, you could have Warned me! I soon learned that the hospital had a great va.riety of food. Take, for instance, breakfasts. tThese were at 7 a. m. I thought I was supposed to be sickli I had, with toast: Monday, hardboiled eggsg Tuesday, fried eggsg Wednesday, softboiled eggs: Thursday, poached eggs: Friday, scrambled eggsg and Sunday tUghJ, coddled eggs. After the first of these meals I sank back in bed, rang for a stomach pump and blissfully began to en- joy my stay in the hospital. L I O N May 6.

Ihen I read the sign: We Clip raniums Closely, I thought they Juld do the job, so I proceeded ito the Maison d'Pierre. As there was a chair vacant, I :ated myself nervously. Then he ame up to me, more or less on ptoe, with a gleaming razor .ashing in his hand. He was a iort man, with a cute curly mous- iche, and he had a fiendish gleam 1 his eye, something like an owl n a. dark night. How do you do? he drawled 1 an unmistakeable French ac- ent. Does Monsieur wish a shave nd a haircut? No, I don't I mink- he' rammed a brush Jaming with lather that tasted ke whipped cream down my aroat. Too late, I gasped. After removing my hirsuite adornment, which I had so care- fully guarded up to this time, he asked me: Do you wish a-how you say-crew cut? Yes, I said, bestow on me a-how you say- crew cut. So he began. First he massaged my scalp with glue to make my hair stand on end. Then, plugging his scalp- scraper in its socket, he placed it gently on my forehead. No, no, that is not right! came a voice from the proprietor. Here, let me show you. Step aside. After a prolonged game of tit-tat-toe, my pate was as bald as a Mexican Hairlessi 1And the grease sprink- led onto my scalp smelled like the perfume from the pulp mill wafted on a balmy spring breeze.5 At length, after much bickering, he finished, and 1the nerve of the bounder!5 produced a mirror in a most professional manner. I looked like a bird's eye view of Leon Er- rol. Anyway, I left the Maison d'Pierre a sadder but wiser man 1with a load off my mind5.

Besides distributing the magazine to the students, some sodalists have been bringing copies out to the Cushman Indian Hospital. In previous years the Bell stu- dents have participated in May devotions. On the sch0ol's official bulletin board, Fr. Lynch, S.J., has posted a list of sodalist speakers. Each has an assigned religious topic to be given during the May devotions. Fr. Lynch wishes to remind the students of the Rosaries, Com- munions and Masses which they promised to offer up for the Holy Father's spiritual bouquet. At the last meeting of the senior sodality, they were told of the sodality meeting which will be held in Spokane sometime this summer. Some seniors have de- cided to take the trip. Those going will be under the guidance of Father Herron, S.J. Father Lynch says this meeting is called The Summer School of Catholic Ac- tion. oicuzoiozs-14-1011 za 1 szoznqfo rr'u.

But how many of you know what an earthquake actual- ly :sv 1 didnt, so 1 proceeded to' the best sources of information available: the Encyclopedia Brit- tanica and Mr. Danel, S.J. From these sources I came upon some curious facts. Earthquakes, like many other things, follow a set route or pattern. These earth- quake zones, as they are called, are divided into two patterns. The first follows a. pat through the Andes in South America on a line through the Rocky Mountains, circling the Pacific Ocean to Ja- pan, the Philippines and into the South Pacific. The second range forms in Southern Europe, into Italy, along the Caucasians into WL tremors are not known it is be- lieved that excessive pressure upon a certain area or a fault, usually an irregular crevice in the layer of granite several miles beneath the earth's surface, can be blamed. It is also noticeable that an area of land composed of loose and sifting soil suffers more than a section such as Tacoma with a solid rock foundation. 7 E El Singing Canaries Outside Pool Plants Ornaments for Aquariums and Dish Gardens Tropical Fish COMPLETE PET SUPPLIES ALLEN'S Pez Steeple H ?

By Jim Griffith According to the school papers of Stadium and Lincoln High Schools, both structures suffered damages from the recent earth- quake. Stadium, noticeable plaster cracks appeared in the walls and ceilings, while at Lincoln, besides this, the clock tower swayed tre- mendously. Students at Lincoln were dismissed immediately to await a thorough inspection for further mishaps. W It was announced by Albert Fox, Supervisor of Schools, that Bar- bara Miller, senior at St. Leo's High School, was awarded first prize and a 3200.00 savings bond in the recent Washington State Letter-Writing Contest. We see by the O'Dea High paper that the beloved friend and found- er of O Dea High School, Seattle, Monsignor James Stafford died at Bellingham. In the early spring of 1923 the Monsignor started a. movement to build a high school. One year later a high school was constructed and named after Bishop O'Dea, who was Bishop at that time of Seattle. For his great work he rightly deserves his heav- enly reward.
