Marion Frances Gibbons 33 Grand Street Mary Helena Gill 301 Blackstone Street Peace sits enthroned on her brow. Grace in all her steps, heaven in her eyes. Composure and calm arc characteristics of Marion. Who has ever seen the evenness of her disposition ruffled or whose imagination can picture anything to disturb Marions unperturbed nature? This visible serenity is the outward sign of a noble soul full of beautiful thoughts. Are we correct in surmising that Marion’s departure from S. X. A. in June will be of short duration? Mary is one of the stars of the Astronomy class and. star-like, she radiates happiness and cheer in a quiet, unassuming manner, for which reason she has obtained a big place in our hearts. We feel sure that Mary will have a successful career. Helen Russell Gilmartin 306 New York Avenue The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. Helen s interest in her class and her energy in research-study are traits that stand out very vividly in her character. She has a happy concept of life. Her goodfellow-ship is contagious, and one is ever sure of her loyal support. Lola Mary Gilmore S7 Bluff Avenue Thine own wish. I wish thee, in every place. I'm first, after everyone else,” is Lola’s unspoken motto. Actions speak louder than words, so we’ve profited by her unselfishness. She is well suited for her position of Vice-President. being a true leader. When there's work to be done, she is always first.” and when there's frolic. Lola stands in the front row. She has giggles and blushes, and shy. roguish glances to match. Catherine Marie Hacket 45 King Philip Street Virtue is true nobility. Sweet and kind arc the epithets which have clung to Catherine during her four years at S. X. A. Being always ready to lend a helping hand to her teachers and companions, she has distinguished herself in a way all her own. She is very much interested in Virgil, as is dear from her excellent translations. To her sincere and persevering efforts must be attributed her enviable scholarship. The Xavier Page Nineteen

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.

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.

If so. you must be directed to that prominent young miss. Helen B.. who. like all others from Olneyville's expanse, stretches forth a helping hand. To substantiate this statement, one has only to ask her close friends. Helen is light- hearted and fun-loving, but never shirks her duty.

Mary Helen Hughes 198 Sisson Street, Pawtucket, R. I. The sweetest music in the world is that of the human voice.” Mary is one of our representatives from the renowned city of the above address.
