1 ner, Pam Ball, and National Merit finalist, Susan Stack, consider means of getting the most home- work done in the least painful fashion. .S -cf Surrounded by concrete evidence of Dominican- ites' rapidly developing dramatic flair, Rachel Young happily examines her First Place Award for narrative poetry - and six awards for Domini- can finalists - in the Metropolitan Genesian Festival held at Austin in February. And she's supposed to be a Betty Crocker Future Homemaker winner, groans Laurie Duffy as she discovers the chastising results of swiping unprepared, cake mix. Virginia Blow gallantly stifies a laugh at her young neighbor's subdued reaction, but brother Kevin, in typical six year old fashion, is not as polite. Inky noses and bleary eyes proclaim the gallant effort. The thrill of a WWI-TV current events Quiz 'Em performance quickly evaporates as Dominican's team, Christine Thomas, Karen Kozlowski, Susan Ciborowski, Kathy Bonus, and Carolyn Duffy, lose to their little sisters from Rosary High. 139

Sure they're tiny medals, hut that's not all the Genesian Dramatic Festival brings this year! Besides a second place award for the school, a silver medal for Carol Con- nolly and a gold medal for Lucy Iacohs, it brought St. Paul boys to Dominican-and a date for the Christmas dance. Competing for equal time with Bonanza and feminine chatter, homework evidently loses-for awhile at least. Detroit Police Youth award win- Students Earn Laurels: Accumulate Facts, Fun, Friends Competition Hourishes in every field, providing ample opportunity for a D.H.S. student to sparkle wherever her interests may lie. Considering each event a challenge, Dominicanites face it with eager anticipation and pains- taking preparation. Cramped Hngers compose stacks of short stories, essays, and poetry for the Detroit News Scholastic Writing Con- test. Choral members climb the scales to prepare for the annual Choral Festival. Forensic speech finalists and Genesian readers develop unusual interpretive techniques. Latin scholars analyze pluperfect verbs as they prepare for X , the Auxilium Latinum exam. Science Fair and Michigan 'Q l Math Contest challenge the scientifically minded. Art show, history down, National Merit exams, ADF essay, college scholarship exam, and current events TV program provide other opportunities for laurels. Trophies, certificates, medals, pins, plaques and schol- arships are the tangible rewards, but the greatest reward is the special knowledge gained and the beauty of new intellectual horizons that fascinate the curious and reward the disciplined. I V ' 1 couldn't! proclaims Cynthia Demps as she records her opening line. But she could and did represent the school in the VFW Voice of America ' Speech Contest-and win second prize in the district eliminations. KKK.
