How proud we are of our name, Dominican, and how we love to sing it, to spell it out in our cheers and pep songs! It is a fine old name, and it has always stood for the school we love and all that our school means to us. We know, of course, that the word Do- minican means a good deal more than any one school, even if that school is the grand- est place on earth. However, when we were considering possible themes for our 1957 Dominilog, following the tradition of DA seniors in looking for some phase of our school life which might be improved by con- centrating on it for the year, we began asking ourselves questions. Were we fully aware of the richness of our seven-hundred- year-old Dominican heritage? Had we ever stopped to think seriously what it is that gives Dominican Academy the spirit we love? What is the source of its friendly, ioyous atmosphere, its tradition of culture, of high scholastic endeavor? Was there anything we could do to stimulate appreciation for all that our name Dominican connotes? A little reflection showed us that a year- long study of Dominican history and tradi- tions would be an enriching experience and would make our school life and memories more deeply meaningful for ourselves and our schoolmates. It was therefore in the hope that we could make a contribution toward inten- sifying the Dominican spirit of DA that we adopted as our theme for our yearbook and for the year, Our School Is A Dominican School. l S i O LUMEN ECCLESIAE! Prayer to St. Dominic O great Saint, who, inflamed with divine love, didst find thy delight in prayer and intimate union with God, obtain for us to be faithful in our daily prayers, to love our Lord ardently, and to observe His commandments with ever increasing fidelity. f Dominican Calendar, 1957 3 K S 2 '7 Z K Q' I I 1 f , 1 , I R Gi J 9' X V 2 ' 2 g 5, 3 9 4 if W x 23,93 W 5 ? if fn e III .il 'V Dominicans cherish a long tradition of loyal devotion - T -- ..- 1 vs ling!

DOMINIC IN THE CHAPEL St. Domininc's biographers relate that his mother beheld her son in a dream or vision represented under the figure of a black and white dog, holding in its mouth a torch which kindled and illuminated the entire world. The figure of the dog and the globe at the foot of the statue recall this incident. Furthermore, The noble lady who held him at the baptismal font saw, as the water was poured on his head, a bright star appear on his forehead. St. Dominic is referred to as never speaking except of God or to God. We might likewise say that our DA teachers have so organized our school life that everything in it is either of God or for God. Whatever does not conduce to training us in upright Christian living finds no place in the Dominican atmosphere of our academy. St. Dominic's motto REVEREND MOTHER M. DOMINIC, O.P. Prioress SISTER M.

There's no secret behind our friendly green door. It leads right into the heart of DA. From the first morning greeting of laughing, book-laden Dominicanites, till the time the last busy beaver takes her de- parture long after the closing bell, a drama unfolds behind that door. K 1' It's the story of morning Mass or visits to the chapel, of classes and more classes, of Quo Vaclis, cheerleading tryouts, intramurals, midyears, basketball games, sodality, retreat, Advent projects, glee club and orchestra, A.A., iournalism, Dominilog, oarties,istudent council - it's the story of these and of all other worthwhile activities that find their way'into DA's busy schedule, all contributing their part in creating the wholesome atmosphere of the school we love.

Besides the liturgy, it carries a day-by-day listing of activities for the week. fl There's no better way to begin the school day than by paying a visit to Our lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Our chapel is the place where the true Dominican spirit may be acquired at its source, as many girls have learned through experience, dropping in for a visit day by day till the practice has become a habit. By 8:15, everybody must be settled in regular classes. Activities are never permitted to encroach on this essential part of school life.

Singing for the Catholic Nurses Guild at the annual Marian Festival, December 2, the glee club had a most appreciative audience. For the Christmas Cantata, December 10, the singers lined up on the artistically decor- ated stage and delighted their hearers with the best of old and new in Christmas music. They were also highly praised for their part in the French Festival March 3.

As a democratic spirit has always been a hallmark of Dominican government, the council is elected by the students, being composed of all class presidents and an additional representative from every homeroom. Always interested in what can make DA a better school, councillors meet every Monday at 2:05, spend- ing long sessions in earnest discussions and serious thought, cudgeling their brains for the best solutions to school problems. Straightening up the locker rooms after recreation and after school is o council service that is greatly appreciated by the faculty - and the ianitor!

Advent proiects, prayers, Ever since the Class of T955 adopted their year- book theme, The Liturgical Life Is Worth Living, DA has tried to live the liturgical seasons in the mind of the Church, beginning with the first season, Advent. The student council appeals to all classes to carry out Advent projects. Instead of buying gifts for each other, students in every class pool the money they would have spent for gifts and use it for some charit- able purpose. Advent becomes a time of preparation and expectation, not celebration. Hence, no Christ- mas decorations or parties during Advent. All parties are held over till Epiphany. Advent wreath cere- monies are held, reviving the beautiful Advent hymns and prayers. Putting Christ back into Advent is the surest way of putting Him back into Christmas. Seniors worked to brighten Christmas for the old people of Bay- side Home, gift-wrapping dainty hankies for the ladies and larger but equally attractive handkerchiefs for the men - 32 dozen handkerchiefs in all. .115 1 fi me f .xx 2 ,J ' l 4 1 as Sophomore B organized a Christmas party for 58 children of St. Vincent's Orphanage.

Before the rally, Mr. Barnatt and captains plan their strategy. 1.1 lg! sl iv, For the third consecutive year, DA took part in the National Catholic Decency in Reading Program, sponsored by the Catholic Digest, as a practical way of observing Catholic Press Month. All classes from 5th grade through seniors were organized under room captains, under general manager Pauline Lavoie. When high school sales were not up to par the first few days of the cam- paign, the student council sounded the rally- ing cry, DA Marching for Decency. Posters prepared each day by councillors urged stu- dents to sign up if they were marching for decency that day or night. The idea caught on, and sales soared till the quota average of S10 per student was reached. The Program aims to place more Catho- lic and other worthwhile periodicals in the home, to help counteract the traffic in bad comics, lewd magazines and indecent books . . . to help cultivate a greater interest in decency in reading and decency in all things. Cheerleaders spark the pep rallies during the campaign, cleverly changing their cheers to fit the theme. Thus, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y becomes D-E-C-E-N-C-Y, Beat those toms toms be- comes Sell those subscriptions! and so on through the cheers At all three rallies valuable prizes were drawn.

BELANGER Sodality Director First fruits of our Dominican devotion, the Sodality of Our Lady of the Rosary is newly established here at DA. Delving deep into the lives of our Dominican saints led us inevitably to their Queen, and to the consecration of our lives to her in a very special way - the Sodality Way. Organized in February, with Reverend Donald E. Belanger as Director, the Sodality was set up along the unit system. At deadline time, unit leaders chosen from iunior and senior candidates were preparing to launch their first apostolic proiects. The personal holi- ness aspect of Sodality life was outlined in a series of instructions on the nature ofthe Sodality, its organiza- tion, and the spiritual duties of sodalists. In accord- ance with Our Holy Father's admonition that Sodal- ists are select Catholics, a probation period extending well into the sophomore year is required before the temporary act of consecration. Because the Sodality is a way of life, the candidate must prove by her high regard for Sodality rules that she is willing to go all the way to Jesus through Mary. DA sets sights high in Sodality, Quo Vadis, retreat QUO VADIS CLUB aims to familiarize DA students with the various careers open to young women. Speakers prominent in different fields address the group at monthly meetings. Pictured here are seniors who have belonged to the club for four years. School president Pauline Lavoie presents the Attandance trophy to the two freshman presidents, Beverly Rebello and Barbara Arruda, at midyear. Fresh- men won the highest total of points for first semester, and at deadline they were leading in the second semester race. Stormy Weather couldn't keep Jeannine Paradis or Pauline Lamontagne home from school. They must have out-toxed the cold germ too, as they have a perfect at- tendance and punctuality record for four years. Seniors prepare singing for Retreat Mass. For three days, April 10, ll, 12, DA students put aside their studies and extracurricular activities and concen- trate on the one thing necessary, under the direction of retreat master Reverend Godfrey Riley, C.P., of Scran- ton. At deadline, the student council had begun discussion of means to en- sure the success of this Passion Week retreat. , K ' li U it-V-i- ' i tit? l 5 ig... -:V 1 crm wx -J - We. -my E Kish Dominican life at its best - that's the spirit of our prep students.

It was creative drama in its most creative form - especially when some- body missed out on the adlibbing! Journalism at 9:45 in Room l is a familiar announcement any Thursday morning and seems to be welcome news to members of The Aquinette, as they flock to the meeting, to discuss the five W's of a news article or the more difficult art of feature writing. ' The Dominican Newsette, the club's mimeographed news sheet, which celebrated its second birthday in November, continues to be favored above a printed paper, as it gets the news out fresher and more often. Newsette supported the Dominican theme of the year by conducting a contest on things Dominican. The year is climaxed by a gala party in June, with senior yearbook staff the guests of honor. The gaiety of the party, ably assisted by Mrs. Viola Wilson, will remain fresh in our memories far into the future.

So we thought when we first assembled as the 1957 Dominilog staff, in June of our iunior year. Minds brimming with ideas for making this yearbook the best yet, deadline day had no dread for us. With our Dominican theme chosen, there could be only one color combination for the cover - traditional Dominican black and white. We had unusual art talent in our class, and we utilized it to the utmost on dedication and division pages. At weekly meetings during vacation, we worked out the senior personals, between times we haunted the public library, poring over quotation books for the precise adage to fit each senior. September found us planning picture schedules, preparing for our Loring photo- grapher, Mr. Holme, who took all our candids just the way we wanted them, only better! The ad campaign assured us of financial stability, the January deadline was here al- most too soon, and then before we realized it, that D-Day of March 9 was upon us. Some- how we managed to live through it, and here is the fruit of our long months of planning, working, hoping, fearing, longing - our 1957 Dominilog. Writing picture captions has its bright side, if we may iudge from the happy expressions of assistant editors Valerie Weber, Nancy Hart and Jeanne Gagne. 5-5-n-gf 's ef fs - '+'wt1vm7 a ,L ll Assistant editors Virginia Morissette and Jeanne Gagne.

Led by cap- tain Jackie Poulin, they labored long and hard, with good sportsmanship and that true Dominican spirit ever in evidence. Their efforts brought DA a tie for second place in the Narry Girls' League and the ensuing thrill of playing on a full court in the league playoffs at season's end. Our athletic pro- grams at Dominican have always been judged in terms of their benefits to the participants. These benefits correspond to those summed up recently by Our Holy Father in a speech delivered to the Italian Sports Federation. He said: Sports training aims at developing in the young the virtues proper to this activity. These are, among others, an openness to instruction and obedience to the wise com- mands of the coach of the squad, the spirit of self-renunciation when one has to fade into the background so that the team interests may be furthered, faithfulness to obli- gations undertaken, modesty in victory, generosity toward the defeated, a calm spirit when the luck runs badly . . . and, in general, the chastity and temperance recom- mended by the ancients. We are sure that, reaping these rewards, our players will become better Catholic women because of having played basketball at DA. Our gratitude to our coach, Miss Nancy Walsh, for her indispensable contribution to the success of our sports program, is deep, sincere, and heartfelt. Hopi: Players register varied expressions of disappointment, concern and determination while watching an attempted interception of pass thrown by guard Claire Sinotte.

A .layvees give promise of bright basketball future Our Junior Varsity basketball team was chosen from the JAYVEE SCHEDULE intramural teams of the previous year and consisted almost en- tirely ot girls with no previous experience in extramural compe- tition. They had a season which was a series of close encounters, but, sparked by the enthusiasm of captain Madeleine Michaud, the team was never for from victory, and often, when the excite- ment was ended by the final bell, they were losers or victors by the very smallest of margins. Whether in victory or in defeat, they always exemplified DA's highest ideals of good sportsman- ship and fair play, and we are sure that, with these stars appear- ing on the horizon, we face a bright future in basketball.

Q.. ln keeping with this year's theme, Our School Is a Dominican School, the ten teams in the intramural basketball tournament formed the Dominican League, with each team choosing a Dominican saint for its namesake. Only the future will reveal what amusing events occurred in heaven as each team earnestly implored the intercession of its patron saint, while striving valiantly to avoid de- feat. A double elimination tournament was played, and while the outcome was still in doubt at deadline time, the good clean tun enjoyed by the more than 130 participants was evidence that heaven was smiling on us as well as smiling at us. The captains and their respective teams were: Louise Chouinard, St. Thomas, Barbara Freitas, Blessed Imelda, Nancy Hart, Blessed Martin Porres, Pauline Melanson, St. Rose, Jackie Poulin, St. Pius, Jean Whitehead, St. Catherine, Carol Kirkman, St. Raymond, The- resa Lapointe, St. Margaret, Claire Reilly, St. Dominic, Hannah Sul- livan, St. Albertus Magnus.

White gloves became part of their outfits, blue and white frou-frous and Indian headbands were added to their equipment, and they used various species of stuffed animals as mascots. The rhythmic swish of frou-frous could often be heard as the girls practiced long, hard, and frequently to perfect techniques and formations.

Communion breakfast, served by sophomores but Graduates we'll be-June 9, 1957 Freshmen are we, but Seniors we'll be! was our song at our first ribbon ceremony, September 1953. Proudly displaying our green ribbons, we be- came acquainted with the x's and y's of algebra and the subiunctives of Latin. Dominican devotion to Mary was evident through the Marian Year theme. When we are Seniors we'll remember these Sophomore days! we sang as we received our navy ribbons. Ahead lay the challenge of business arith- metic and the interesting field of biology. We became Shakespeare enthusiasts with our first glimpse of Julius Caesar. We obtained a clearer knowledge of Dominican life when we learned The liturgical life is worth living, theme of year 1954-1955. Now we are Juniors and we're wearing ribbons of red, we added to our song, which by this time had become standard. Debits and credits became common worries in our introduction to bookkeeping. We groaned over our translation of Cicero and over geometry theorems and became acquainted with the basic office skills of shorthand and typewriting. The theme for the year, This is your school, was aided by the Dominican tradition of democratic government. Now, in our Senior year, our lyrics are, We have discovered the D.A.'s the best school of all! Deep in the study of American history and Macbeth, eagerly performing experiments in the chem lab, we are about to embark on college life or business careers. With graduation just ahead, we can look back on the part Dominican ideals have played in forming our four years in DA, and we can say with loyal and grateful hearts, Our school is a Dominican school! wl',l Q 'T .
