Marij Elizabeth McCarthy ■ Young Avenue He who Inborn, conquer . If the old proverb “Silence is golden” holds true Mary must own a gold mine, for she is one of the few who can boast of overcoming that most difftculthabii of keeping the rule of silence. Mary is an earnest scholar and her recitations always interest us. At report time, we all envv her calmness. Anna Elizabeth McElroy 159 Ocean Street Pensive and quid is she, but still bun n heart that is eager for spirit. Anna has gained many friends in S. X. A. by her calm and genial disposition. She has all the quali-ties of a conscientious unassuming student and sets a true value on time. She leaves behind her a record which shows consistent application and industry Latin is her hobby. Mr Mary Lou 100 Cleveland Street. 44Every mome McCarthy Pawtucket, R. nt pot den. Mary is surely a valuable asset, clever and studious. Many times does she come to our aid and straighten out the crooked lines that confront her less fortunate classmates. She delights in languages.

It is not easy to tell in just what study she excels, but we venture to say it is French, for in “nos causeries” she stands No. 1 we all agree. Helen i s also a good “gym” leader. Because of her loving disposition she holds a spacious c o rner in t h e hearts of herclass-mates. “The Xavier” Page Seventeen

She is gifted with a sunny disposition and has the reputation among 11s of “Honor Pupil.” Agnes has been with u s during our four years at S. X. A., and has persevered in the commercial department. She is an actress of no little talent, a s she has proved in many of our plays. In a few years Agnes will be big enough to take a position as stenographer and we wish her the best of luck. --C C- P[ Fra 11 eline Anna Mouter 32 Remington Street, Pawtuxet, R. I. r .-1 beautiful eharaeler is an envied possession. Here we have our only representative of Pawtuxet. She may well be considered one of the deep thinkers of our class, always wanting to know the “w h y s” and “wherefores.” By her gracious manner she has won a Itorothi Sarah Marlnt re 6 Fairoaks A ‘Mr cut cclurc art cm place in the hearts of her teachers and companions.

Yes, Catherine is “Treasurer” of ’”2 in more senses than “dimes.” Treasurer of smiles and cheery glances, sure cure for those ultra-marine moods we sometimes experience. Treas- urer, too, of stored up knowledge dealt out unsparingly to us as occasion demands. Latin and Versification are her choice studies. Catherine is a favorite because she is kind and apt, with a sweet disposition. Mary Eleanor Nolan 608 Wickenden Street “A I if lit heart liven long Though Mary likes study, especially Spanish, she misses no fun.
