TRADITIONS: Friar Boy
The original Friar Boy, PC’s first athletics mascot, shown above with football players in 1935, was a gift of the Friars Club. The black-and-white Dalmatian had special meaning for Dominicans, whose name playfully translates to Domini canis, watchdogs of the Lord.
Four consecutive Friar Boys lived at PC through 1963.
In 1993, in celebration of PC’s 75th anniversary year, Friar Boy V came to live in St. Joseph Hall with Brother Kevin O’Connell, O.P., the late Friars Club moderator.
