A patient mind the path of duty follows.” When Dorothy came into our class, we at once recognized her genial manner and the stability of her character.

Margaret Elizabeth McCormick 236 Power Street Alice Marie Me Elroy 859 North Main Street Nothing is impossible to Willing hearts. A path triumphant trod.” To learn Margaret’s pet avocation, look at our sketches in “The Xavier.” They, by no means, express all that Margaret can do in the realm of art. because here she was obliged to share honors with the other gifted members of the Art Staff: but in future years, look for her name among the masters of pallet and brush. “Al” is one of he fun-makers of the class. She has gained many friends by her congenial disposition and funny sayings. “A!” has made a name for herself in the Thursday’s experiment class by her ready answers. College is in her perspective, where she will revel in scientific research. Oh! for a rack of test tubes all her own!

Helen is a valuable asset in our Latin class. “Why subjunctive?—Why abla-ti ve ? — Why ? Why ? Why?” An answer alert from Helen saves the hour if not the day.
