Lillian Agnes Fitzgerald 443 River Avenue “A kind heart is the fountain of gladness. Here is our jolly, loving, and sincere Lill. without whom our class would be incomplete. Although she is on pleasure bent, she does not let it interfere with her studies. Lill’s highest ambition is to be a successful teacher. We know her loving nature will win the hearts of the children, n'est ce pas. girls? Mary Thomasina Fitzpatrick 26 Arnold Street A heart full of friendship and love. A pleasing countenance, good manners. and a desire to please characterize Mary. She is a good student; we enjoy her translations, they are so literal and ’unpony like. Mary's earnest way will help her climb the ladder of success. Mildred Agnes Fitzpatrick 266 Point Street “Many friends are won through kindness. Kindness and thoughtfulness are Milly’s by right of nature. Being ever ready to sacrifice pleasure for duty, she has successfully mastered all her studies during her four years at S. X. A. She holds a place in the hearts of all her classmates that many of us might envy. Steady perseverance will bring Milly. some day. to unsurpassed heights. Mary Addella Fortin 2S2 Main Street. East Greenwich, R. I. ”Hope never spreads her wings but in unfathomable seas. F aithful always; 0 rderly in doing: R eady for hard work: X rustworthy: 1 ndustrious: N ever daunted. Who will attempt a further description ? Sarah Patricia Flanagan 99 Comstock Avenue 'She is constant in her purposes. Behold the Encyclopedia of the class of '25! Sarah never fails to answer a question that is ’ caviare to the general.’’ She lives in Bookland and has traveled extensively through that famous region. Some day she will be a noted Journalist or Author. We all wonder what college will have the honor of awarding to Sarah her A. B.. her A. M., her Litt. D.. and her Ph. D. Angela Veronica Gear in 43 Belmont Avenue have called forth golden opinions from all sorts of people. A golden frame wreathes Angela’s face and a smiling countenance ”on mischief bent’’ makes her a popular girl. Her wit manifests both her insight into character and her love for fun. Whatever she undertakes, she does well, and her suggestions in the preparation of the year book have been very acceptable and helpful. Mary Rebecca Golden 35 Green Street, East Greenwich. R. I. “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Not a few of us are drawn to admire the calmness and sweetness that shine out characteristically in our every-day 'meet’’ with May. Her dignified reserve kept many of us from knowing her at first approach. Music has charms for her which we all recognize. and let it be known to you that this music is not the din of the clicking type:’’ however. commercial studies are duly considered. Anna Agnes Gorman 346 Pine Street Friend of pleasure, wisdom’s aid. Our bobbed headed blonde, our Babe’’ has carved a deep niche in the hearts of her teachers and classmates. She misses no sports, but withal she has a proud record. In English, she stands among the best. Anna and Lill are staunch friends, having toddled together from kindergarten days.

Teresa Mary Cunningham 146 Fourth Street ‘She is never alone who is accompanied with noble thoughts. Our Tess” is one of a famous quartet,” but this does not prevent ier from being general, too. Stenography. Spanish. English, everything, in fact, is so easy for her that she finds many opportunities to help her less fortunate classmates. We love her for her generosity and her real sense of lumor. Margaret Germaine Doran 118 Franklin Avenue “Silence is golden. A quiet and loving disposition is Margaret’s. Her rare gift of silence eeps her out of much trouble. This little maid came to S. X. A. from Bristol, in her third year. She has given her classmates a big task to find ut of what she is thinking, but we have come to the decision that the saying. still water runs deep,” is true. Olive Elizabeth Duby Duby’s Grove, Lakewood, K. I. ’Worth, courage, honor, these indeed Your substance and your birthright are.” Olive’s cheery. How are you this morning.’’ is. in a measure, responsible for her popularity. But this is merely forerunner of her kindness and •thoughtfulness throughout the entire Jay. She has given evidence of marked ibility in many lines—as a dramatic tar, we think she is A No. 1. and as for her work in phonography and typewriting.—well, she has won the medal for speed and accuracy. Need we say more? Anna Frances Feeley 149 Indiana Avenue, Edgewood, R. I. “Music waves eternal wands.'' Music and Art are twin Sisters.” Then is it not perfectly natural that Anna should possess both? Her mas tery of the harp is quite unusual: this we say from experience, for we have lieen privileged to hear Anna’s strains af exquisite melody. Her artistic gift s revealed in some of the sketches of ‘The Xavier.'' Anna s poetic temperament is supplemented by the characteristics that make a sincere friend— good judgment, sincerity, generosity. The Xavier Catherine Francis Dempsey 107 Calhoun Avenue “To think well is to act well.” Catherine came to us from Classical.’' She has been a happy addition to our class for two years, faithful in study and always reliable. We think Latin has a special charm for her, as in early morning, “Virgil” in hand, we see groups of classical girls gathered around her. Catherine is not ambitious of individual distinction; however. we say this of her. she is truly kind and helpful. Mary Frances Doyle 117 Sheldon Street “Springtime and flowers bring dear memories. If the present mirrored the future, what a calm and beautiful life would be Mary’s and we like to think it will be so. Marys height sometimes bothers her. but among nature’s gifts to her. that is one of the possessions, her companions, less favored in stature, greatly admire. In their opinion it adds to her grace and dignity. Alice Elizabeth Eldridge 11 Atkins Street “It is well to think well. It is divine to act well. We write the above verse, for Alice is a model of thoughtfulness and gentleness. and a loving companion. She just radiates sunshine with her laughing dimples and sparkling eyes. Her love for Spanish and French ought to result in some future linguistic surprises. Mary Josephine Feeley 149 Indiana Avenue, Edgewood, R. I. “A double blessing is a double grace. Who knows why we selected this quotation for Josephine? Ask Anna. Josephine is a gracious, cheerful Miss, whose accomplishments are legion. Her rich contralto voice and her skill as a violinist have both given very great pleasure to her classmates. But her love for music does not distract her from studies, for she is one of our English stars, both in declaiming and in writing. Josephine will undoubtedly be found among the ‘ Immortals ot Literature” some day. And wherever she may be. we know that the grace and charm with which she will perform her duty will make her an influence for good. Page Thirteen

Mary Elizabeth Griffin 119 High Street, Valley Falls, R. I. Love, laughter, life and glee. Is what this happy Miss would be. The reputation of Valley Falls is Mary’s responsibility, for she. alone, among the 77. arrives daily from that noted suburb. We can all testify to her eminent success in carrying her burden. And we judge from this precedent that S. X. A. will always be safe in her hands. Should we ever find ourselves perplexed regarding Francais. we know where we may have our difficulty solved. Margaret Alice Hanley 85 Pocasset Avenue The girl who toils for years without a break. And treads the path of pain for other's sake. There are no half measures with Margaret. She considers A as important as Z. and so. from first to last, her teachers find her most satisfactory in her lessons and in her lady-like manner. Her classmates, too. are often the recipients of her generosity, in word and deed. Edna Bernardine Keenan 158 Albert Avenue, Edge wood, R. I. Semper Parata. What my fancy paints her: E ever effectively engaged: D dramatic ability with pleasing grace: N neat, natty, never noisy: A alert for the welfare of S. X. A. Elizabeth Murillyam Kelly 25 North Bend Street. Pawtucket. R. 1. Age cannot wither her. nor custom stale her infinite variety. Elizabeth, pur little friend from the Big City.'’ stands strong in our affections. Her happy and humorous disposition attracts us to the bright side of things. Saint Xavier's has always admired her sweet equilibrium. She is a girl you would like to have those “at home’’ meet, and feel the graciousness of her gentle ways. We appreciate her suggestions in our activities. and followed, they mean success. Lucy Frances Hanley 85 Pocasset Avenue I find earth not gray but rosy. Lucy always docs her “bit ' to make the lunch period palatable. Her voice, we all agree, is “soft and low in her Spanish selections. She is Margaret's twin sister, but there is a difference Lucy takes the English: Margaret, the commercial course. We like Lu’’ for her gracious and loving disposition, and her student ways. Margaret Teresa Jordan 6U Moone Street Smile, and the world smiles with you. Wit. thy name is Margaret! Here is the girl who dispels all melancholy from our midst. She is one of the most popular girls of the class of ’25. Although she likes pleasure, especially dancing at luncheon period, she does not neglect her studies, notably Span ish. Margaret intends to go to college. No es-verdad. Margaret? Eileen Virginia Kelley 290 Chapman Street A merry heart that laughs at care. Behold, the youngest of our 77. But is Eileen too young to study? Look at her reports and you have the answer—they are a long list of A’s. What if she does often miss the Broad Street Car. and thereby miss ten minutes or more of class? To see Eileen without Evelyn, or vice versa, would be as rare a sight as snow in August. Eileen will one day startle the medical world. Louise Claire Kelley 199 Atlantic Avenue One whose mere presence brings sun-shine and love. Louise, with her golden hair and sunny smile, makes us all smile back at her. She has won the love and admiration of her teachers as well as her class-mates. Her knowledge of Latin is something we all envy. But we think her greatest charm lies in her dramatic ability and in her deep love for music. You may travel far in the realm of college-land. Louise, but you will always be with us as a rainbow of remembrance. The Xavier Page Fifteen
