What a fine-looking group of young men! St. Dominic must be proud (the novice masters and the prior look pleased too.)

It's interesting to me to see the different personalities here. You've got the go-getters, the cheerful ones, the thoughtful ones, the shy ones, the tough ones.

They all look very, very happy. Smiles aside, you can't miss the light in the eyes.
