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

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.

If there is a star in the heavens that Mary has not yet discovered, we feel sure it will come into her vision next year, for her aspirations are truly astronomical. Anna Louise McCaffrey 104 Chad Brown Street A face all wreathed in smiles. The fairies must have welcomed Anna to this world and lavished on her their gifts. She is an earnest student, as the fact that she has carried off St. Patricks scholarship proves. The glow of pride shone in her features when the successful contestant was announced. Anna has appreciated that constant effort means success. She is a witty girl and full of thoughts for others. Mary Veronica McCarty 44 Walling Street Cheerfulness wins all hearts. In presenting Mary to the public, we are confident that she will charm it as she has her classmates. She is the advocate and expounder of geniality and cheerfulness.
