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

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”

Ellen Rita Shields Mart) Henrico Storin Ah! here is one of our ‘ bright lights,” a very versatile young lady. Her broad smile and happy disposition have gained for her hosts of friends while at St. Xavier’s. Too, she has maintained a noble record. Ellen becomingly upholds the name of “Mount Pleasant” and its environments. Rhode Island College of Education is her ambition. We excuse Mae for coming from Pawtucket as long as she has supported the “bakers dozen” Latin class and has been a credit to said class and to all her classes. Mae enjoys dancing, and also studying, if circumstantial evi- dence can prove anything. She intends to spend the rest of her life in the education of youthful America. Margaret Louise Sullivan “Bobby,” alias Margaret, enjoys the great honor of being the smallest in height only in our class. She has her opinions withal, and is held in high esteem. Her clear soprano voice has furnished us many pleasant moments, and we all know that her future audiences will enjoy it as much as we have. Julia Elizabeth Walsh Here's Julia, the “senorita espanola” of Smith Hill. How eager she is for that Spanish period and the recitation of the poems of that beloved language! Julia’s only worry is her initials, for we know from experience that they have caused great confusion. In a few years, Julia will be big enough to take a position and show her “stenographical bent. We hope her J. E. W. will not mar her future career. Anna Marie Taft O no, Anna isn’t a Freshman. The ob- server might think so, but we know differ- ent. No, indeed! a learned and dignified Senior. Never shall we forget the times her hand has saved us — from failures. And we might add that Anna is a walk- ing encyclopedia of Greek myths. Anna’s lucky star foretells that after a few years she will hang up her Elizabeth Genevieve IVilliams Last in our alphabet but foremost in all class affairs is “Betty.” She excells in all her studies and also in the leading of gym- nastics. At noon recess or on Friday after- noons you may see her “tripping the light fantastic toe” with her pal. She is the fourth member of the “quartet.” Next year she will grace the halls of the R. I. C. E. We’d like to be her f.u t u r e pupils Elizabeth is well liked by her teachers. Page Eighteen “The Xavier'
