ALUMNI BROTHERS OF DETINU VIDAL 2005

Phi Delta Psi's Chapter at Moorpark College used the name Detinu Vidal. The name was chosen to avoid discrimination against Greek letter organizations. Thirteen Brothers of the Chapter were initiated into The Thirteenth Hour in a stable belonging to a Dominican priory in Santa Rosa Valley, Ventura County.

Br. AL AQUINO'S ONLY TRICK-OR-TREATERS THIS YEAR

Grass Valley Trick-or-Treaters.

Al Aquino had only these trick-or-treaters this year. Fortunately, he had enough candy for them, having secured ninin packages of bite sized Snickers bars. Because Br. Al is opposed to wasting things like Snickers bars, he was forced to put them in the freezer of his refirgerator.
Al has been doing a lot of thinking about how much energy it takes to keep Snickers bars in the freezer.
