How proud we ore 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- min ' ican 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 Dom;n og, 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, joyous 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 yearb ook and for the year, Our School Is A Dominican School. O LUMEN ECCLESIAEI 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. — Dominican Calendar, 1957 3 i DEDICATION To understand the spirit of an Order, we must trace it to its Founder and then see it realized in the lives of its most illustrious members. An Order is but the immortal reflection of a man raised up by God, wrote Lacordaire. As the true spirit of the Dominican Order is an inheritance from St. Dom- inic, we must go back to him if we are to estimate how truly Dominican is the spirit of our school. He is here represented by one of our yearbook artists in the connection that has made him familiar to most people, as the saint to whom the Blessed Virgin entrusted her Rosary, one of the most precious her- itages of the Order. St. Dominic ' s holy life has been a model and in- spiration for every generation of Dominicans. It was a life of flaming enthusiasm, wholly absorbed in saving souls and spreading the saving light of Christ. To St. Dominic we therefore dedicate our 1957 Dom ' milog and our year of loving and prayerful research into Dominican life. His Excellency MOST REVEREND JAMES L. CONNOLLY, D.D. Bishop of Fall River to the Church and to all ecclesiastical authorities. 7 St. Dominic ' s motto. STATUE OF ST. 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. REVEREND MOTHER M. DOMINIC, O.P. Prioress SISTER M. IGNATIUS, O.P.

Looking to his biographers for details of his life, we find many enlightening comments by his contemporaries, those who knew him best. All speak of his joyous and happy expression: None was ever more joyous than he, and none a better companion. He was always radiant and joyous, except when moved to compassion by some mis- fortune of his neighbors. He grew more light of heart as the roadway of age slipped by him, and as he found that others depended so much on him for their courage. They mention his friendliness: Along the road as he traveled he had a kind word to say to everyone ... he took all into the arms of his wide love, and was loved himself in turn by all. They refer to him as a kindly consoler of everybody. Others mention his simplicity: I have never seen a man so humble. The great poet Dante wrote of him: Messenger he seem ' d and friend. Fast knit to Christ . . . Then with sage doctrine and good will to help. Forth on his great apostleship he fared. JOCELYNE F.

With sixteen canonized Do- minican saints and hundreds of beatified Dominicans from which to choose, DA undergraduates selected patrons for the year: St. Rose of Lima, the first canonized saint of the New World; St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, Patron of all Catholic schools; St. Pius V, the Pope who through the Rosary obtained the victory of Lepanto, saving Europe from the Turkish invasion; St. Catherine of Siena, the most illustrious of St. Dominic ' s daughters, of whom nature would have made a heroine, if grace had not claimed her for a saint; Blessed Martin, who is confidently invoked because of his kindly love for ail God ' s creatures, par- ticularly those in need. These and other Dominican saints may be said to exemplify the three spiritual dimensions of the Dominican life: the life of the mind in study, the absorption in God by prayer and contemplation, and the outflow of the soul into apostolic action. How sweetly rest those spirits blest. The saints of our dear Father ' s race; Whose lives shone forth o ' er all the earth In signs, and powers, and words of grace. — Antiphon from the Dominican Office of the Blessed Virgin Juniors take as patron Saint Rose of Lima (Above): Entering junior year. Class ' 58 had high hopes that their long cherished desire might be realized — that they might all be seated in one home room. How- ever, when 55 juniors answered the roll call on Sep- tember 5, it was only too evident that no one room could contain them all. They compromised by electing (leff to right): one vice-president, Theresa Lapointe; one secretary, Joyce Rogers; two presidents, Claire Reilly for A and B, Claire Sinotte for C; two treasurers, Han- nah Sullivan and Claire Prevost. Pictured with prom programs, they ' ve evidently been making plans for the Christmas Dance, December 26.

ORGANIZATIONS and ACTIVITIES The full value of the statesmanship of St. Dominic is nowhere so apparent as in the organization of his Order, which he made so adaptable to the many and varied needs of the world that after centuries of its ex- istence Lacordaire could say of it: Even were God to give us the power of creating a religious order, we feel sure, after much reflection, that we could find nothing newer, nothing better adapted to our own time and our own needs than the rule of St. Dominic. This adaptability of the Dominican spirit is seen in the lives of the saints of the Order. How varied their work — illustrious scholars dedicating their learning to the service of God; others serving Him by ministering to the temporal needs of their neighbor; the archbishop teaching little children; the princess doing menial work for the poor; the martyr writing his Credo with his blood; theologians, canonists, artists, cloistered contemplatives — how different their sphere of action, yet all were true Dominicans, loyal children of St. Dominic, chivalrous fol- lowers of his rule, earnest and fervent exponents of the Dominican spirit. True to this tradition of Dominican universality, our school offers us a balanced training in religious, scholastic and recreational organizations, adapted to the varied talents and individual needs of all our students. From all three entrances — Park, South Main, and Forest Streets — students converge on DA ' s green door. There ' s a game today; white gym suits and cheerleaders ' outfits tell the story. Living and learning. Green Door, what ' s that se- cret you ' re hiding? 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. It ' s the story of morning Mass or visits to the chapel, of classes and more classes, of Quo Vadis, cheerleading tryouts, intramurals, midyears, basketball games, sodality, retreat. Advent projects, glee club and orchestra, A.A., journalism, Dominilog, parties, student council — it ' s the story of these and of all other worthv hiJe activities that find their v ay into DA ' s busy schedule, all contributing their part in creating the v holesome atmosphere of the school we love. Senior Sue St. Pierre (leff) seems to be all alone as she trips down the steps to the locker room. But she ' s not alone — not for long. Two freshmen spy her and bear down on her with the inevitable request, May I have your picture? (Below): The locker room is just the place to get caught up on the latest bits of news. In the interests of good grooming, there ' s the mirror, which does a non-stop business till the 8:13 warning bell rings. playing and praying together in Dominican It ' s always wise to take a look at the liturgical ca lendar on the first floor landing. Besides the liturgy, it carries a day-by-day listing of activities for the week. 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. Below we see seniors in American history class, listening to one of Nancy Hart ' s more or less improptu orations. Smiling or serious, they ' re all secretly hoping that recitations today will be general and not individual. With half on hour for lunch, there ' s always time left for dancing. This is one of the friendliest hours in the school day, with laughter, music, and gay voices prevailing. Records for the juke box are provided by the student council.

It was suggested by the student council and is sponsored by a different class every day. Parties are such fun! The Epiphany Party, sponsored by the student council, is sparked by relay races, in which classes compete for highest total of points. Seniors won the honors this year, as might be expected on seeing their do-or-die determination in this balloon race. Keeping bulletin boards up to date is on after school chore. 49 Elaine Maltals was so capable and pleasing as norrator af the Cbrislmas Cantata, she was chosen for the same role at the French Festival. Let there be music! This is the lively sentiment in the hearts of our DA songbirds as they file into the auditorium for the tri- weekly rehearsals. The whole school listens with interest, knowing that these weekly workouts will lead to another of those top- ranking performances which are character- istic of glee club appearances. 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. At deadline time, the annual Spring Con- cert, May 2, was many weeks away, as was the Music Festival at Whitman, Mass., May 11, where thousands of students gather just for the pleasures of music.

DA Student Council, inaugurated only two years ago, has clearly demonstrated that student partici- pation in school government can be effective and beneficial. As a democratic spirit has alv ays 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.

Dances conducted under Catholic ouspices, holy hours, and a day of recollection were included in the pro- gram of this new organization. Pictured here, Louise Chouinard, a member of the publicity committee, is inviting seniors and juniors to the Sno-Ball, the January dance of the C.S.C. Freshman A donated heaping baskets of food and gaily wrapped gifts for a family of 14 children, whom they continued to help for the remainder of the year. Freshman B adopted an Oblate missionary. To raise money to help him repair the churches of his missions, they held popcorn and chip sales, doing a booming business. The Jesse Tree contest, conducted by Newset e, kept all DA studying the history behind these figures, all of which represent types of Christ the Redeemer or prophecies relating to Him. One figure was added each day during Advent. Jeanne Labrecque (left) won the highest rating in the contest, with Rodelinda Albrecht a close second. |roin com a a) Sophomore A visited the children in the four hospitals of the city on Christmas eve, bringing gifts they had prepared for each child and reading the Christmas story for the children. Sophomore B organized a Christmas party for 58 children of St. Vincent ' s Orphanage. They brought gifts for each child and prizes for games, as well as delicious refreshments. Advent projects, prayers, music bring Christmas joy Hungary ' s fight for freedom inspired the juniors to devote their Advent sacrifices to these latest sufferers from Communism. The captains look over the story. Ever since the Class of 1955 adopted their year- booi theme, The Liturgical Life Is Worth Living, DA has tried to live the liturgical seasons in the mind of the Church, beginning v ith 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 bock into Christmas. Seniors v orked 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.

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 soles soared till the quota average of $10 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-l-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. All high salesmen were awarded prizes at the end of the drive, and the school received a generous commission on all sales. CAbove): Eighth graders were first to reach their class quota. S.

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 v ay — the Sodality Way. Organized in February, v ith Reverend Donald E. Belanger as Director, the Sodality v as set up along the unit system. At deadline time, unit leaders chosen from junior and senior candidates were preparing to launch their first apostolic projects. The personal holi- ness aspect of Sodality life was outlined in a series of instructions on the nature of the 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 62 QUO VADIS CLUB oims to familiarize DA students with the various careers open to young women.

It was creative drama in its most creative form — especially when some- body missed out on the adiibbing! Journalism at 9:45 in Room I 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. Newsefte 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. Dominican Newsette gives DA the news when it ' s news Assembling Newsettes and mailing them to our exchanges, we see J. Aubrey, S. DeMoura, J. Morin, S. Cimochowski, and J.

Of the seniors pictured here as they wait for their chartered bus, several are attending the conference for the fourth time, having started as freshmen.

Oh, that ' s months and months away! So we thought when we first assembled as the 1957 Dominilog staff, in June of our junior 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. Much of the success of the ad campaign was due to our resourceful and indefatigable business manager, Louise Chouinard (right) and her assistant, Pauline Lovoie. Besides handling the finances of the year- book, they also helped generously with other phases of the work. Writing picture captions has its bright side, if we may judge from the happy expressions of assistant editors Valerie Weber, Nancy Hart and Jeanne Gagne. t • 1 fat Assistant editors Virginia Morissette and Jeanne Gagne. 1 Above : Photography staff can smile as they pose with the equipment they hove been toting up and down.

The gold school key is truly the key of wisdom, being award- ed only to those who have met the test of keeping their names on the Principal ' s List for at least four out of the six marking periods in all four years of high school. At deadline, the following seniors were eligible for the honors listed. (Names are in alphabetical order.) HIGHEST HONORS Louise Chouinard Pauline Lamontagne HIGH HONORS Claire Dumont Nancy Hart Pauline Lavoie Virginia Morissette HONORS Barbara Freitas Pauline Melanson Muriel Potenaude DA class ring, with its Dominican torch and shield against o black background, will be one more golden link binding us to our Alma Mater. 73 Nancy Hart, high ranking American history student, was chosen by seniors to represent DA at the State House in Boston on Good Government Day, March 8. It ' s a very educational experience, Nancy reports. When we know more about our government and how it is run, we are willing and eager to take a more active port in it. ATHLETICS The Dominican spirit extends even to athletics, as we find that the great theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas, devotes an article of his Summa Theologica to ex- plaining the need for recreation and proving that there can be a virtue about games. With his usual thorough- ness, he cites several authorities, including Aristotle and St. Augustine, v ho advocate the kind of rest that is associated with games. The pleasure must be free from blame, St. Thomas warns, and must be directed according to the rule of reason, there must be no excess in play. The spirit of St. Thomas ' s teaching is evident in the sterling quality of sportsmanship which is the hallmark of DA athletic groups wherever they appear. We follow St. Thomas also in refraining from excess in our recreation program, as it is never permitted to infringe on time that belongs to other phases of our education, nor is any stu- dent allowed to participate to the extent that her scholas- tic standing would be thereby impaired. The friendliness that develops through our athletics is another Thomistic trait, as he expressly teaches that friendliness is a virtue, that it is a matter of justice for us to behave pleasantly with those among whom we dwell. It ' s fitness first for freshmen, as they do conditioning exercises in gym class.

Sports and fun for everyone — One of DA ' s most active clubs, the Athletic Associa- tion aims to promote good sportsmanship and provide athletic activities for all students. To accomplish this aim, the A.A. organizes and conducts all our intra- mural programs, endeavoring to make available year- round a v ide variety of both individual and team .A. year-round program sports, so that every student may find at least one activity in v hich she chooses to participate. Setting up tournaments, timing, scoring, officiating, providing av ords, and conducting money-raising events are among the duties of members, while on the social side they enjoy parties, camping trips, and outings. 77 (First row): Claire Sinotfe, Claire Dumonf, Lucille Saucier, MacJeleine Gariepy.

Varsity shares honors for second place in League Theresa Lapointe shows that practice sessions are serious business. She tries vainly to tie the ball with Claire Dumont, while Hannah Sullivan looks on in anticipation. Diane Lincourt moves in to receive pass from Jackie Poulin, as guards Jeannine Ouellette and Lucille Saucier watch ball attentively. VARSITY SCHEDULE Alumnae Durfee Somerset Case Mt. St. Mary Dighton Durfee Somerset Mt. St. Mary Case Dighton New Bedford Vocational Alumnae DA is justly proud of its 1957 varsity basketball team, for, winning and losing like champions, they were always a credit to our school. 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 hove 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- gat ions 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.

(Below): Scoreboard and facial expressions tell the story of these shots taken during the Alumnae Homecoming game. (Leff): A trailing DA team brings their score up another notch, and (right) now needing only one goal to put them in the lead, DA players anxiously watch ball hovering over the basket. They kept the lead, and emerged victorious, 30-22. Jayvees give promise of bright basketball future Our Junior Varsity basketball team was chosen from the intramural teams of the previous year and consisted almost en- tirely of 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 far 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 ploy, and we are sure that, with these stars appear- ing on the horizon, we face a bright future in basketball.

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 fun 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. Ten teams of Dominican League battle in intramurals (Top): Joan Reagan is closely guarded by Barbara Freitas in a Dominican League game. (Righf): Confusion seems to be reigning among the guards, resulting in a clear shot for Simonne Plourde, as referee Lucille Saucier looks on. A.A. members Louise Chouinard, Louise Levasseur and Pauline Lavoie take care of scoring and timing tasks in on intramural game. These girls also performed the same duties for varsity games. 81 Pep + precision x ten = DA cheerleaders This year, for the first time, the cheering squad was increased in number to ten girls, who were continually coming up with something new. 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. Under the direction of enthusiastic and tireless head cheerleader Nancy Hart, our cheering squad has been an inspiration to all DA students and has made our Academy an example of what spirit can do for a school.

As the seniors wouldn ' t disclose the color of the yearbook cover, we used all four class colors in the dec- orations. That way we couldn ' t be wrong. (Leff to righf): J. St. Yves, M. Nesfer, J.

Proudly displaying our green ribbons, we be- came acquainted with the x ' s and y ' s of algebra and the subjunctives 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 Mocbetfi, 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!
