Irene Rita Carrigan 101 Tockwotton Street “Truth thou art and therefore to be won Pause for a moment and allow us to introduce Irene. She made her appearance at S. X. A. in 1920. and has signalized herself as a student of no little ability. Earnest study does by no means crush the fun loving disposition which is characteristic of Irene, and we feel certain that these two qualities will be the two great assets that will enable her to carry out her future plans. Bertha Louise Casey 297 Globe Street “Rare is true love; true friendship is rarer. Bertha is always cheerful and happy. She is an 'A-No. 1 ” student in the Commercial class. Bertha has high aims. Her vorth is vividly felt by all who come close to her. If she carries with her as abundant a supply of cheerfulness on the voyage of life as she now possesses, she will reach port happily. Elsie May Collins 93 Peace Street “Hold your fortune for your bliss. A joke worth while you'll ever hear From witty Elsie, reader dear; Her humor sparkles, bubbles keen. She’d spice the latest magazine. Of virtues rare she is possessed. And stands the crux in any test. Just for these traits we ll some day see That sure success will Elsie’s be. Elizabeth Margaret Cooney 12f 7 Cranston Street, Cranston, R. I. The eternal stars shine out as soon as it ts dark enough.” Kind, generous, and intellectual describes our Beth. Since her entrance into S. X. A. she has claimed the respect and admiration of all her classmates. Tomorrow never comes to Beth in the place of today. It has been her ambition throughout her high school course to make herself proficient in her classical work. Elizabeth Regina Corbett 1039 Douglas Avenue “An affable and gentle maid. Bessie is a cheery and fun-loving girl. Now', this does not imply that her “candle’’ is stationary, for she prepares her home tasks well, and her class-assignments arc always prompt and satisfactory. She is deeply sincere and loyal in her friendships. The Xavier Page Fifteen
