Margaret Louise Harber Anne Certrude Haven To look at Mar- garet, the conclusion might be that she was the inspiration of the song“Margie.” May- be she was. ‘ Many times and oft” she has forced us to smile aloud, as in her fluent French conversation. After graduation, Margaret will leave her country home in Pawtucket and go to the city of Provi- dence on her alluring career as nurse. Don’t forget us, Margaret Louise. “Gert” is one of our most lovable, sweet, and lady-like pals. English is Gert- rude’s favorite study, and her exceptional results of imagination in original work has made us hold our breaths. Doubtless her dexterity has come in handy during exams. ’ Together with her artistic ability and her dignified ap- pearance in tortise shells,” we have no doubt as to Gertrude’s acquiring a high standard in her life work. Mary Margaret Kelley “O what a pal was Mary!” and one of our very best friends. How could we have spent our recreation periods so pleasantly if it were not for Mary’s accommo- dating “orchestral selections.” Being musically inclined, her fa- vorite recitation is scansion, but her favorite study is English, ex- cellent results proving the fact. She will join the happy throng who will pursue the pedagogical profession. Good luck, Mary ! Katherine Agatha Louth Katherine is a tall girl with grave eyes that are often misleading. In her first year she joined the “quartet” and remained a staunch member. Serious in her studies, but full of fun, she is one of the very popu- lar girls of ’21. K. Agatha expects to climb the heighths of pedagogy, and some- times we may hear of her as a “school ma’am.” Madeleine Louise Manning Madeleine came down to us after three years at Classical, and the only thing we regret is that she stayed from us so long. Madeleine feels that way, too, except dur- ing French conversa- tion. Madeleine will probably enjoy R. I. C. E. for a few years after leaving the Academy, and later we will possibly hear of her Missionary work in China. The Xavier' Page Fifteen

Gertrude Patricia Fitzpatrick Who is this pleas- ant faced girl always so courteous? Why, it’s Gertrude Fitz- patrick. She is wil- ling to work for any worthy cause. The greater part of the time she is pensive and quiet. We know that her future as- sociates, whoever they may be, will find her as pleasing and agreeable as we have during our high school days. Her teachers will miss her. Catherine Teresa Flynn Let us introduce you to Catherine, the girl with the winning smile and the big blue eyes, which she uses to advantage at all times. Although she does not believe in too close study, Cather- ine has a high standing in her classes. We do not know what her future plans are, but we give her our best wishes. Clare Angela Ceraghty Mix a solution of smiles, gig- gles and happiness, and you have an optimist of exceptional sweet- ness who is—Clare. Coming to us in the second year, she has proved herself a loyal member of our Chem, and just hates to come away. She is not yet decided about her future. Perhaps she will be a schoolma’am. We wonder. Clare Veronica Cor man About nine o’clock daily we hear her feet tripping up the stairs. The next mo- ment a face appears at the door of our Latin room. Of course it’s Clare. You see, she comes from Central Falls and belongs to the T. G. A. Clare and her violin are fa- miliar objects to all. Her witty remarks have been the source of very much enjoy- ment in allourclasses. College will claim her next fall. Eleanor Abigail Corman When you first look at Eleanor you think her to be quiet and demure, but looks are deceiving. Eleanor is joyous, merry and fun-loving; she has won the hearts of all her school mates. Eleanor hopes to be a stenographer. Good luck to you. Miss Gorman. Don’t forget your city friends when you set- tle down in rural content. Page Fourteen “The Xavier”

Catherine Elizabeth McCaffrey Catherine may be found with a group of girls who daily wend their way from the heights of Smith Hill. She is very fond of astronomy, and may be found any clear night looking for stars!!! Undoubtedly she, also, will join the ranks of those who have in view the “way to higher flights.” Mary Teresa McCaffrey Here is the most sensible and agree- able little business manager that any class might boast of. And that isn’t men- tioning Mary’s erudi- tion as a student; she is ever ready to impart her knowledge to her “friends in need.’ Mary, no doubt, will be a credit to the Academy when she becomes private secretary to one of our city’s politicians. Lillian Rosalie McCambridge Lillian came to us in her third year a student from Classical High School. She was eagerly welcomed in our ranks and has proved herself a very true friend to the class. Her favorite study is oral chemistry, where she has made the marvelous discovery match. She intends to finish her that H20 is an extinguisher of a education at R. I. College of Education, where we hope she will meet with much success. Ceclia Grace Mulligan Here she comes, wreathed in smiles, that little “Miss” from Central Falls. Her sunny disposition has made “Cutie, as she is called by her friends, one of the favorites among the girls. She is also one of our bright pupils. We do not know what Dame Fortune has in store for Grace, but whatever it is, we know that she will take advan- tage of every oppor- ity offered her. Elizabeth Philomena Mulvey Yes, this is our Elizabeth—one of the famous alto singers. She was also a mem- ber of our Picture Committee. Her love for Alma Mater has been displayed on many occasions, but especially in her zeal- ous work for our fa- mous Bazaar. Eliza- beth hopes to take dictation next year, and we feel certain that whoever has Elizabeth for a ste- nographer will grow rich some day. Page Sixteen “The Xavier”
