' i Wirs b'. r The Firebrand DOMINICAN COLLEGE SAN RAFAEL, - CALIFORNIA Published by the Class of Nineteen Twenty-three -'.v. >• '.•i:.KV:--;<^-.- (•'■ '^-r ■ 'jiiCs." - .'-C. ■-- The Road to Inspiration Point F01{EirORD "S> URINGCollege thehas five done years much of towardsits short establishingexistence, Dominican itself: its degree is recognized; student government is in force; ^traditions'' have been and are being made. As one of its contributions to the ''traditions" of the College, the Class of Nineteen Twenty-three is publishing for the first time a Col lege year book, "The Firebrand." In it ive hope to give some idea not only of what ive are noiv doing, and have done ivith- in the last four years, but also of at least a few of our hopes and plans for the College in the future. We are calling our Year Book "The Firebrand," not because ive hope to set the world on fire with the burning brilliance of our writings, but because the flaming firebrand is a symbol of truth—burning truth tvhich consumes all false hood—and a peculiarly Dominican symbol. The Dominican Order all over the ivorld, has for an emblem a dog, bearing a firebrand, and for its motto "Veritas." From this seal and motto, ive have drawn our own seal with its flaming firebrand and our motto, "Veritas fax ardens." Though "The Firebrand" is primarily a memory book, merely meant to interest and amuse the graduating class long after they have left the College, it has been thought wise, since there is no exclusively literary magazine in the College, to include in it some few articles of a more ambitious and of a less intimate nature than are usually found in College rear- books.

Life lies untried, but it shall find us To thy counsels true; Thus may we show. Thus shalt thou know Hoiv we love thee. Alma Mater.

Dominican Collepe, San Rafael IT is almost a year since our first Dominican College Seniors, the Class of 1922, triumphantly departed, proud possessors of A. B.'s. At that time it was impossible for them to make any definite statements concerning their futures; their plans were many and frequently changed. Rumors were numerous; one or two were soon to enter the Convent, two were bound for Honolulu where they wanted to live in a hut and teach the natives; one was to continue college work for a Master's Degree, another was to sail for South America immediately after Com mencement, and another wanted to do work in Criminology; that meant no one knew exactly what. But here are the actual happenings: Claire Harney, as had been rumored, returned, in August to San Rafael to enter the Domini can Novitiate. She received the Habit in February and is now Sister Mary Patrick. Liicretia Provedor, who has been with her parents in Nicaraugua, is making plans to return to San Rafael very soon. She will teach at Dominican College during the summer session. Margaret Collins is having a lovely time "At Home" in Fresno.
