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”

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

Eileen Catherine Murphy Mary Helen O'Connor ■ Eileen began faith- ful work on her first day at Saint Xavier’s and has persevered. Nor at the end of her labor, having confi- dently plunged through Caesar, Cic- ——------------------- ero, and Virgilian scansion, she has become a criterion on Roman History. We realize what a task it will be for Eileen to become a school teacher and to settle down, for that laugh of hers will out. Stop! Look! Lis- ten! and you hear and see Mary with her lively and pleas- ing disposition. She is one of our best stu- dents. Constantly is she with the other Gold Dust Twin— Alice. Mary entered our ranks four years ago, and has made herself many friends. She intends to go to the R. I. C. E. in the future. We know wherever Mary goes she will meet with appreciation and love. Helen Louise Phelan Here’s our Helen. Jolly, lov- able, studious, and every ready to help one in distress—all that ex- actly fits her. Helen is an actress of no little talent, and she has proved it in our plays. She is also a good artist. Helen expects soon to be a successful stenographer. Saint Xavier’s will miss you. Helen, especially in French con- versation. Mary Helen Rosmond Estelle Florence Seeley The next person of note on our list is Mary R. Her merry smile has won her hosts of friends with- in the old walls of S. X. A. Mary has not yet decided on her fu- ture career, but she expects to take dicta- tion. Best wishes of her class attend her. In the third year, Estelle came to us from Franklin. N. H. Quiet and unas- suming, she won the confidence of all of us. Her favorite study is Latin, in which her ability for expression is remarkable. Her plans for the future are as yet undecided, but Virgil may claim her. The Xavier Page Seventeen
