The Roundup is the Jesuit Dallas Student Voice and Newspaper since 1942. Learn about us.

As one foot follows the other throughout the halls of Jesuit, the only repetitions other than the seas of scrambling navy blazers are the walls, the structures of our community that resonate with names of the achieved and artistic masterminds. However, while perusing through the art on the Jesuit campus or reading the Monthly Art Focus, one may falsely...
If the end of the year were able to speak, it would holler, “Surprise! Finals time!” Students cram for their finals as they hatefully scroll their eyes across seemingly infinite pieces of paper while jerking their fingers upward to hear the pop of the seventh can of Red Bull. The process continues as the clock strikes one, two, and...
In any ordinary museum, the visitors, allotted one visit in one day, tend to glance at the most prominent or famous pieces of art.

The competition between Jesuit schools is unbelievably intense. Usually, when these rivalries come to mind, one might think of sports rivalries such as the Dallas Jesuit vs. Strake Jesuit football game or various other athletic competitions. Jesuit students across the country also compete in other forms, including the recent Third Annual Jesuit 4x5 National Art Competition. The judges received an...
