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. If a funny story you wish to hear. Refer to Lucille, my reader dear. The Xavier Page Seventeen

She has a sharp. active mind, reads character well, and recognizes merit in others. Her even disposition makes her an agreeable companion. Margaret Anne Coutanche 281 Williams Street “It's education forms the common mind.” In the world of education our classmate. Margaret, ranks high. She is a student every inch, and is gifted with a genial personality that would be difficult to rival. With the fund of information ac- quired during her four years, we are confident that she will be one of the strongest exponents of what our loved Academy has done for her. Marion Gertrude Cunningham 459 Broadway, Somerville. Massachusetts ”Gentle thou art. and therefore to be won.” Enter Miss Boston. She usually arrives somewhat late for Chemistry. The trains are irregular, don’t you know.” If it were not for Marion's delicious fudge, there would be some lack of sweetness at S. X. A.

Mary Elizabeth Earnshaiv 22 Hamburg Avenue Humor is the harmony of the heart.” Now behold one of the most retiring and studious girls of the class. Spanish is her pet study. Mary has keen sense of humor; she bubbles with laughter when she should only (?) smile. Her class appreciates her and pronounces her a capable and thorough student, especially in Virgilian verse. Anna Marie Flynn 176 Point Street Actions speak louder than words.” Anna has won the affection of her teachers and classmates by her quiet, gentle man ner. We have never heard her reproved very seriously. She is always up and doing in the interest of others. Anna is what we call a real success, for she favors study and all things worth while. Annette Ena Forest 46 Bridgli m Street ”Music is the language of the soul.” A pianist, dramatist, artist, student. and. pray, who is the possessor of all these talents? It is none other than our own Annette: She very wisely uses her ability in the interest of others. Annette is a typical schoolgirl, loves her studies. teachers, classmates.—a real friend to all. When she has reached the last rung on the ladder of her upward and onward career, she will, we are sure, reminiscently recall her early achievements in S. X. A. Katharine Cecilia Gal I i van Marion Josephine Gavigan S3 Sorrento Street “To live in deeds, not years: in thoughts, not breaths.” 149 Wood Street “A smile that glowed celestial, rosy-red. love's proper hue.” A good musician, a pleasant companion, and a sincere friend are three of the prominent qualities we find in Katharine. Her linglish themes delight us for their clearness and originality. Katharine will enter college in the fall. Music is her real delight. A concert pianist some day. Kath,” N'est-ce pas? A striking characteristic of this young lady is her amiability. She is fun-loving, but has also a serious side. The proof is that our register is cleanly lined because of her faithful attendance and punctuality during her high school course. An enviable record, hers! Page Eighteen The Xavier
