. Annual Pa er Drive Creates Competition Plus Currency Groping weakly for the jangling clock, blinking Dominican eyes gaze from the 5:15 luminous dials to the pre-dawn darkness. With stopwatch swiftness clothes are donned, a donut gulped, a jacket grabbed. Then off to the trucks! Such semi-nocturnal enthusiasm matches the teamwork of the after-school shifts in Dominican's annual paper drive. Rosary Field bristles with feverish activity as ladened trucks, top-heavy wagons, swaying trailers, and bulging cars, springs sagging dangerously, line up around King Richard Avenue. Victory cries, class songs, and im- provised cheers echo down the line, as each class tries to outdo its rivals in paper, enthusiasm, and noise. As sturdy Dominicanites and their 'friends pack the trucks air tight, other ambitious classmates scour the neighborhood for one last bundle. Returning to a state of empty bliss, bulging basements, garages, and porches yield their dusty hoard with a delightful sigh of relief. Blistered hands, broken fingernails, grimy faces, and bloodshot eyes identify the typical Dominican lass. This frenzied bustle raises funds, of course, but students strive especially to establish class prestige - to win. The results indicate school spirit, class unity, junior victory, exhausted girls, amazed neighbors, relieved families, 48 trucks, and 801 tons of hard earned, golden paper. iffibnqqffgq Atop a swelling mountain of junior paper, Beatriceann Antaya, Deanne Bagley, and Sharon Prokop believe that, With this we'll conquer every new frontier. VVinstanley's bulging warehouse holds an avalanche of paper to pilot juniors to a triumphant victory. Raid, riot, or runible?', shocked Cathy Shock asks Marty Murray and Mary Louise Trupiano. Engulfed in a pool of paper, freshmen Barbara Lukanow- ski, Linda Lee, Mary Beth Sullivan, Sue Abraham, Kathy Kotowski, Mary Anne Dederichs, Renee Martz, Mary Kay Weber, Mary Ellen Thiran, Holly Hodkinson, and Betty Vandenheede find the trucks' appetite hard to appease. 65

5 l x Parents Entbusiastimll Share Behind every successful Dominicanite stand two under- standing parents - parents who endure missed meals and nocturnal hours for the sake of prom decorations, paper pack- ing or yearbook deadlines - parents who puzzle over evening math classes, eager to translate their daughter's modern math lingo - parents who want to understand their daughters. Through the Mothers Club, Dominican mothers sponsor the Christmas party for parents and faculty, present a tea for graduating seniors, and provide a luncheon for members and friends. Meanwhile the Dad's Club holds Booster Club raffles which increase the library's volumes, direct paper drive trafiic for newly licensed daughters, and usher guests at evening programs. Whether its conferring with teachers at monthly meet- ings, enjoying the rollicking Dad and Daughter Social, chaper- oning the Anniversary Ball, chauffeuring friends to and from games, or participating in the Mass and Communion breakfast, Dominican parents share in the spiritual, social, academic, and athletic endeavors of D.H.S. No suckers or sad dads at this dance-only jolly pops. Mr. ,lohn Olinzoch heart- ily agrees as he gaily twirls his partner Kathleen Gracey and then promenades her home at the Swingin' Dad and Daughter Social. Taking a chance on the Virginia Reel, Mr. Fritz Daoust and Kathy Bonnie Palin, Mr. Ralph Scherer, Mr. Fred Herz, and Mr. Edward Scherer sashay down the admiring aisle. Margy Scherer, Terry Herz, Palin gleefully clap their musical approval. J
