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.

Helen Marie Deery 64 Battey Street Mary Harriet Dowling 17 Vernon Street Her native grace is void of art. To think well is to act well. Not fun. nor frolic fills her day. And yet. how gracious do we say! A student apt. a friend alway— I challenge who to this says ' nay.’ There is a saying that “good things come in small pack ages.” and we have a proof of it in Mary. Small in stature, but big in heart and mind is this “jeune demoiselle. It is difficult to mention any special accomplishment of Mary’s, for she is a literal “Jack of all Trades.’’ We hazard a guess that Stenography Are we right. Mary? is her favorite subject. Helen Marie Doyle 117 Sheldon Street “Great oaks from little acorns grow. “To have friends, one must be a friend.” That is the secret of Helen’s popularity. With her happy, pleasing smile and amiable disposition she has won many friends at S. X. A. Too. she has maintained a noble record. Spanish is Helen's favorite study. “No cs verdad ?” Josephine Elizabeth Doyle 21 Ayrault Street A girl who goes into the depth of things. This is station S. F. X. A. The class of ’24 would like to know if General Pershing is going to resign his command of the American Army. If so we have a candidate to offer in “Joe.’’ the leader of our class. Josephine has sensible ideals, a clever power of imitation and marked social tendencies. She is a good student and often a merciless critic. Lucille Cecilia Duffy 1U4 Webster Avenue Mirth, with thee I mean to live. Behold one of the merriest girls of the class of '24. Lucille's popularity is extensive both in school and out. and her excellent and unmatched wit have made for her a host of friends. Generosity, humor, and efficiency are her main characteristics.
