Club Participation Enricbes Students' Linguistic Knowledge A true Dominicanite thirsts for knowledge - know- ledge above and beyond the call of duty. Her duty is Latin - the extra is' the Iunior Classical League. Her duty is Spanish - the extra is the Spanish Club. As a student of Latin, she automatically becomes a member of the JCL. Here the dead language lives. She learns about the Roman gods, meets the famed writers, studies Roman law, and distinguishes between legend and history. Only after Latin becomes an integral part of her, is she truly able to hand the torch of classical civilization to the modem world. To become more familiar with the background and development of her adopted tongue, the Spanish student joins the Spanish Club. She begins to appreciate the Spanish culture, learns about the people, studies their customs, and delves into their History and legends. A true Dominicanite radiates with interest in others interest evidenced in the pursuit of knowledge-of other people through the study of their language. 62 Mt. Olympus never beheld gods such as these! With flashing sword and protective helmet, glorious war god, Ann Ricci, conquers diffi- cult declensions with apparent ease. Ready to illuminate the darkness of uninitiated minds, goddess of hearth and home, Connie Mc- Donald, welcomes freshmen to the junior Classical League. A kaleidoscopical caterpillar? Olga Encisco models colorful costumes for Spanish Club President, Mary Ray Brophy, and Melaine Porkorski.

E cienzg Willing Hands Maintain Smooth - Running D. H.S Love makes the world go round! Loving efficiency makes Dominican go round as Hoors shine, windows sparkle, soup simmers, saws whirr, and smiles gleam. Dominican's gold-medal kitchen harbors diligent Betty Crockers and dedicated Duncan Hineses. Feasting on tempt- ing lunches of turkey a la king or macaroni and cheese, Do- minicanites drown classroom troubles in raspberry jello. It requires more than glue and scotch tape to hold a school together. The basement workroom harbors models of craftsmanship dedicated to the proposition that Dominican's interior and exterior must be equally in A-1 condition. Dust-free, dirt-free corridors and stairwells are temporarily forgotten as Mr. Willard St. Charles gazes reflectively into the glowing pit.
