In celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Jesuit’s Asian Club captured two dragons and set them loose to dance and terrorize Blue Jays eating lunch on a cloudless Friday in the Traditions Courtyard and Student Commons. “The dragon dance has been a vital part of Lunar New Year celebrations for centuries as a way to chase away evil spirits and symbolize prosperity for the new year,” said sophomore Andrew Vuong, president of the eastern ethnic co-curricular organization. Members of the club hung unlit lanterns from the oaks to create a traditional atmosphere for the cultural show. The dancers inside the dragons are not Blue Jays but students who belong to a youth group affiliated with St. Agnes Le Thi Thanh Catholic Church in Marrero.
