Ellen Veronica Madden 37 Hilltop Avenue Music—-how enthralling! Whom have vve here? Why. it is Ellen! One of the model girls in the Commercial Course.

Helen Bernadette O'Connor 21 East George Street ' Press on! surmount the rocky Steps.'' Here is a student on to duty! Possessed of marked talent. 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. Her unmeasured capability, her person ality account for her popularity among her classmates and teachers, her artistic trend. “The Xavier” tells Mary Louise O' Donnell 311 Warwick Avenue, Warwick. R. I. Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. Dear to all is this young miss from the little town of Warwick. She fairly glows with a spirit of generosity and unselfishness. She is an artist of unusual merit, and we would not be surprised to see her paintings in the Hall of l ame. She also likes to translate Spanish. “No es verdad. Maria?” Eileen Fontneau O’Neil 321 Smith Street. Edge wood, R. I. To persevere is to win.

Alice Irene McNulty 129 Sheldon Street “Good things come in small packages.” Allow me to present Alice, one of “la plus petite” and cleverest girls we have. A first glance at her would remind one of “II Pen-seroso. but after you are acquainted with her. she is more apt to bring “L Allegro to your mind. Alice is talented and very ir-tistic. She has furnished clever etchings for “The Xavier.” Dorothy Annette McNulty Warwick, R. 1. 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. She is so thorough in all her studies that it is difficult to know in which she excels. Dorothy is strong in athletics. The fishes in Warwick waters just have to look out. Catherine Mildred Millmore 24 John Street What you do. do with your might.” Mildred is one of the most earnest girls in S. X. A. She is member of the Commercial Course, a diligent and apt student, and a loyal friend. One feels better for having discovered the beautiful qualities of her reserved nature. Marie Antoinette Morin 495 Brook Street “A true lady is one who willingly offends no one.” Margaret Mary Murphy 254 Xorthup Street. Edge wood. R. I. “A light heart lives long.” Smiling, laughing, carefree, and gay; Moments for work, moments for play: Her lessons she learns with the greatest zest. One study. Spanish, proving the test.

Christine Elizabeth Parker Marguerite Elizabeth Plunkett i Parsonage Street A princess from the Fairy Isle. I he very pattern girl of girls.' “Voici” Christine! an actress of natural ability: heV heartiness gives zest tp any role she acts. She is a strong exponent of “English undefiled.” not only in her themes and essays, but in her conversation, w h i c h we often marvel at. Her manners are gracious and pleasing. 214 River Avenue Nothing is impossible to witting hearts. One of the earnest English girls is Rita, and she likes her English. Her tireless way to the fourth floor every day is her objective. for her favorite study is Astronomy. It takes some time to know Rita: she has a serious look of concern about things generally, but on acquaintance we find her cheery side. N’est-ce pas. Rita? Catherine Louise Regan Castle Street, Bast Greenwich, R. T. “Every true friend is a glimpse of God. With her dancing eyes and merry laughter. “Cathie” is the life of the class. Daily she arrives from the metropolis” of East Greenwich. During Spanish free period, she gets alongside of her “pal.” They arc a diligent pair, as results prove. We arc sure that whoever is fortunate enough to come in contact with her will prize her sincere friendship as do we of S. X. A. Catherine excels in Shorthand, and is one of the most correct typists in the class. Esther Alfreda Riley 134 Wood Street The mildest manners and affections gentle. Those who know Esther know her to be sweet and gentle. All who come in contact with her are impressed by the dignity and simplicity of her bearing. She is truly loyal to those who are her friends. We feel that every one of the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year holds in its diary a written page of her worthy deeds. Clare Grace Risk 36 Summer Street. Central Falls. R. I. “There's nothing ill can dwell in such a mind. If you should ever find yourself in a dilemma, do not become anxious if Clare is around. She is thoughtful, generous, and resourceful—ever ready to give assistance, and to give it in the way that makes us think of the lines from “The Vision of Sir Laun-fal.” only we change them to fit Claire: “The gift with the giver is not bare.” She bestows upon her lessons the same generous care that is characteristic of her in all other matters.
