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.

Sweet and kind arc the epithets which have clung to Catherine during her four years at S. X. A.

Anna Marie Loughran 225 Knight Street Of manners gentle, of affection mild. Marie appears, at first acquaintance, very timid. But when she faces an audience and delivers what might almost be called an oration, we sit up and gasp. “Is that really our Marie?” Some day we shall find Marie training classes in Expression—if she does not enter the political arena. Catherine Teresa Kiernan 21 6 L ookworxl Street 'Full of vigor, effort, not show, she's different from the rest, you know.” Free time! What shall we do? Why. call “Kitty.” an inspiration to our class. This young lady is a combination of wit and wisdom, and is ready always to help her less fortunate classmates. As President and debater she has guided us successfully through many a dilemma. She is a student above the ordinary in the esteem of her class. Mary Veronica Lang ton 85 West Park Street Kind, loving, and generous in every way.“ Nature has bequeathed to Mary a bright smile, a sunny disposition, and winning ways. No wonder all her classmates eagerly greet her and surround her so that (though not small) she is almost entirely lost from view. In phonography and typewriting Mary excels. and we know that she will have no difficulty in securing a firm foothold in the business world. Dorothy Mary Lenahan 70 Itohin Street “Art is to conceal art. To see her. to hear her. to know her. Are to love her; For like to her. there is no other Eleanor Lowe 3.8 Payton Street A good little maid who works right well.” Do not scrutinize this picture too closely, reader dear, for Eleanor might blush. Although one of our quiet girls, her hearty laugh and pleasant manner will always be a sweet remembrance to the class of 24. Judging from the great interest she takes in Ancient History, she must be contemplating a visit to King Tut s tomb. The Xavier Page Twenty-one
