Mary Cecil Adams 7 Regent Avenue Kind words cost little, yet they are very dear.” Mary is an indispensable member of »ur Commercial Class. Some day we hall hear of her as the head of a big usiness house. And her merry laugher and witty sayings will keep her caff in good humor, as it has often .cpt us during the luncheon period: vhile her lady like manner will be an nfluence to all over whom she may preside. Agnes Helen Almon 76 Lisbon Street Simplicity is an engaging quality of a noble mind.” This petite demoiselle is bubbling ver with fun and pep. The scri us side is found by association with ier. She loves study and her reports lave verified this statement. Music is ier hobby and some day. we shall find ier in Who’s Who?” Mary Agnes Campbell 954 Atwells Avenue 'Great always without seeming to be great.” Her tasks arc never shirked: she has aken good care of study and now she tnows that it was worth her efforts. We like her cheery ways: she al ways makes one feel it is her pleasure o be helpful and none could equal her painstaking and generous assistance. Marion Gertrude Casey Cumberland Hill ‘An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves.” Not from one of the hills of Rome, put from the near and dearer hill of Cumberland comes our Marion. Her weet influence is elevating and the ex-ellence of her four years’ course in all ts details must be an impetus to those who think and know that they hink aright. Mary Catherine Afferica 325 Richmond Street Perseverance wins fame.'' We all admire Mary for her calm and amiable disposition and for her superior ability. In phonography and typewriting, she is a marvel. An enviable position surely awaits her. And we congratulate the employer whose good fortune it will be to have this young lady as stenographer. Anna Jeanette Barrie 97 Gardner Avenue. So. Auburn. R. I. True as the needle to the pole.” Anna has always a smiling coun tenancc. She is truly dignified and a student of marked ability.

Mary Josephine Carey 154 Point Street Always duty before pleasure.” Mary is the kind of girl we like in our social meetings. Her great talent as a debater is always recognized: in fact, she has taken a prominent part in all our school activities. No sweet -do-nothing days about her. as her reports tell. Emma Frances Coggeshall 173 Quarry Street. Hast Providence She was ever fair and always proud. Had voice at will, and yet was never loud.” This tribute may be fittingly applied to one so sweet as Emma. In manner and in speech she possesses a grace that is charming, and her genial good humor makes her a most welcome companion at any time. She has been favored with gifts of mind, of heart, and of soul, gifts that make her capable of doing much good in this world for the benefit of those around her. as well as for her own future glory.

Elsie Catherine Coleman 152 Taber Avenue All about the social air Is sweeter for her coming. We cannot but feel that our ’‘social” air is rendered far “sweeter” by Elsie’s presence. Quietly and unassumingly she has endeared herself to us. A voice, soft and sweet is one of her many attractions. Higher education is her objective and. judging the future by the past, we feel that laurels await her. Margaret Agnes Conneeley 531 Dexter Street “Non scholae sed vitae. A student of marked talent; one of our strong “beacon” lights. A’s blot her reports! Particularly docs she excel in Latin and Geometry. We are often mystified by her ready answers in our English class and it is a spur to us for greater effort. Algertha Marie Cooney 36 Steuben Street Thy heart is true as steel. Phonography and Spanish arc her specials, but her other studies do not suffer on this account. “Algie” is most active in school interests, and particularly did we notice this in the vital question of “Cap and Gown.” Juliette Mary Croston 67 Hope Street Smile and the world smiles with you. The above quotation seems most proper to Juliette, for with her merry smile and happy disposition, she spreads sunshine and gladness around her. Juliette is one of the leaders in the commercial division. Although handicapped by a long illness, she has kept her own place in the class. This quality of “sticktoitiveness”'prophesies future success in any field of endeavor for our Juliette. Helen Patricia Collins 67 Furnace Street Things seen are mightier than thingi heard. Wc admire Helen for her lovabli nature and quiet ways. She is loya to S. X. A. and ever to be depends upon in all its activities. Good senv has characterized her. notably in this that she has not fallen a victim to the “bobbed” class. Her golden “crown is very becoming to her dignifirc bearing. Margaret Mary Connolley 11 Pine Street, Pawtucket, R. I. “With such a comrade, such a friend I fain would walk til journey's end. “No man is useless while he has 2 friend.” If this be true, our “Peggy renders us all useful, for she is a frienc to everyone. We enjoy her wit airt merriment: we admire the earnest ef forts she has always shown in class af fairs: we respect her for her upright character;—we love her for all hr qualities. That success will follow her and that her life will be “on» grand, sweet song” is our chorus. Helen Veronica Cooney 58 Carver Street. Pawtucket, R. I. “A simple maiden in her flower Is worth a hundred coat-of-arms.' Just look at her picture and judgt for yourself. Then imagine how difficult it is to write in a small spac« so few nice things about such ; worthy girl. Helen's characteristic are unselfishness and amiability. What we envy in her outward attraction « her beautiful golden red hair. Amonj all the losses that St. Xavier's will sus tain in the “retreat” of 1925. Helen will be a heavy one. Mary Marcella Cunningham 123 Hamilton Street “Smile, and the world smiles with you. Mary realizes that no success that is worth the name comes to us: w must go to it. and so we find her with both eyes wide open, ready to embrace opportunity. Some day she may preside over a house and mak( it. in the truest sense, a home, within whose walls will be found the charming. gracious, valiant woman. Page Twelve The Xavier
