A great woman of the Bible. She was generous and loving (sad how a good word can come to mean something negative recently). The name of one of my ancestors also. She was Native American Munsee and this is her Christian name she was given when she became what were called in the past "the praying Indians". She was a strong woman who had twin babies in a canoe. She saw a sad time for her people. Dorcas Was an early pioneer of Toronto. Both these women are heros to me. This name was more common, among women, early in the history of the United States and Canada.
Dorcas is the name of a kind woman in the Bible and was used as the name of some women early in US and Canadian history as well. Dorcas is a woman's name not as commonly used today.

Get the Dorch mug.Since 1992, Fort Dorchester has redefined the lives of the people of the tri-county area of South Carolina. If you go to Fort, you've already got the swagger of a champion for no public school matches up to Fort D's bad-assity. And if you don't, you know you'd do anything to be zoned for it. Fort ain't for wusses, fakes, or students who can't show real campus devotion. There's some pushing and shoving in the halls and rowdy classes, but it only gets bad if you involve yourself in it. The overall cool people, hardcore athletics, and the good old red silver and blue school colors puts a whole new standard to the surrounding public schools such as Stratford, Summerville (main rival school), and Wando. Friday night football games at the Legendary Fort is where it all goes down, fans all alike show their school spirit with chants and cheers to see their Patriots (school mascot) steal another win. If you go to FDHS, you're not afraid to show it.

Get the Fort Dorchester High School mug.A typical Dorch girl usually adresses you as 'hun' or 'hunny'. Very friendly, chatty, and funny girls who aren't afraid to experiment in what the current youth's generation has to offer. Well, the cool ones anyway. They are also very hot and like chai tea.
