The girls of the class are fortunate to have such an amiable its trade “pal.” Earnest effort has mark on whatever she does. ft s?2f Madeline Alice Mulgrcto 4S Koscflnlc Street , ' V “She is fair, kind and apt. with a blessed disposition.” Madeline entered St. Xavier’s in her fourth year, and her one regret is that she did not come earlier. She has proved her ability as an essayist by her creditable work in the “Irish Essay Contest.” When Madeline's voice is heard in recitation the class sits up and takes notice, notable in Astronomy. v. Catherine Anna Murphy Edgewood, R. I. f , “A Ii iht heart lives long. Come, girls, pay your dues, and we do pay. 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. When you hear a burst of laughter at the end of the hall at luncheon time it is very often at one of her jokes. She is a very fine pianist and ever ready to entertain. Music is to be her future work. Anne Agatha Xeilan Hast Greenwich “One heart, one way. Anna is one of our many happy girls, with a contagious smile and a pleasant “good morning for every one. She was welcomed to S. X. A-» in her third year from East Green-w i c li Academy, whose loss we early realized was our gain. Spanish and French are her specialties, but her aim is to be a music teacher.

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. We love to listen to her translations. “Esther” and “Athalie” are her favorites. “Bon Voyage,” Mary, on your road to greater heights. is dent and a able friend, serious and Margaret Mary McCann 12 Quince Street 'Persevere to the end. for nothing pained without effort. Margaret is a conscientious stu-very agreeable and lov-While she looks very thoughtful, she enjoys f u n, a n d h e r hearty laugh at one o f Teresa’s (?) may be heard sounding from one end of the lunch table to the other. Margaret’s favorite study is Latin. 4 Helen Augustina MeCough 76 Camp Street 44To me more dear congenial to my heart one native charm than alt the gloss of art. Helen is one of tin 100% girls. 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

Dot’s gracious manner and winning smile are two prominent characteristics of her charming personality. Music is one of her accomplishments, and because of her pleasing voice it would not at all surprise us if she should some day be numbered among the musical geniuses of Providence. Hope Elizabeth Scott May (Serfrude Sheridan 146 Wood Street ” t 242 Morris Avenue Hope elevates, and jog brightens. “Smile ana the world smiles with you. Our Vice President, a true exponent of amiability and cheerfulness, has greatly endeared herself to her class, especially in her official capacity. She is a very happy girl and spends herself for others’ happiness as well. Hope likes Astronomy for more reasons than star gazing. May G. is our prize sunbeam. Every morning her merry smile and gracious mien greet us from the rear seat. She is a real favorite. French is her infatuation; she is head and heels in love with i t, n’est-ce p a s, M a y ? a n d m v Stars! what about Astronomy! May always aimed high. •The Xavier” Page Nineteen
