Here at Dominican, we may study the culture of two modern countries, France and Spain, and also the ancient culture of the Latin people. Visitors from Mexico add greatly to our knowledge of their way of life, while re-enactment of their holiday customs adds a realistic touch. Through tape recordings and clippings the culture of France may be vicariously imbibed. Latin is recreated and comes to life again as students prepare authentic costumes and adopt, for one week, the way of life of the ancient Romans.
