I. “Of manners gentle, of affections mild. ’ Helen brings a store of cheerfulness and knowledge with her every day from Hast Greenwich. in Helen's dialect, the Big City. El Capitan holds no terrors for her. and her fluency in F:rench is the class marvel. When her ship sails up the Narragansctt, the cargo will be the kindness that she has shown at S. X.

A., for they will ever hold her enshrined in their hearts. Elizabeth Marie Smith 14 Whiting Street “In every gesture dignity and love ’ Dignity is a strong characteristic in our President, combined with deliberateness and self-possession. Elizabeth has been an inspiring leader. Nothing is too little or too great for her to undertake. She is eager to assist and is ever helpful. High aim is her objective. She is a real student, a paragon, who takes sheer delight in scholarly pursuits. The future holds her secret, but we know that it means something that the past has insured for her constant On to Duty.

Mary Adelaide McKone 280 Main Street. East Greenwich ' ‘ Self - reverence, self - k no iviedge, self-control. These three alone lead life to sov-ereign power. Mary is always seen before she is heard, a true mark of gentility, we are told. And we all agree that she is gentle, genial, kind, an example to her class: never does she miss an opportunity of helping in school interests. Her record is high in her studies, especially stenography. We know that the door of success is open wide for her. for loyalty and good will must meet recognition. Helen Mary McMichael 75 Rankin Avenue Peace sits enthroned on her brow. A genial, kind, and sympathetic classmate we found in the advent of Helen. Woonsocket High School dismissed her with an enviable record which S. X. A. was quick to recognize. We have admired and respected her for her even disposition never perturbed by any outward sign. Her scholarship is of a high type: especially is she strong in mathematics and languages. Helen Josephine McPartland 10 Pierce Street. East Greenwich A Friend. Sincere and True.” Helen has been of true worth to the class. Where could be found a more earnest, industrious student? She is one of the lights of the English Class, and also excels in her commercial studies. Unusual efforts mark all that she does. We expect great things from Helen, for her intelligence is of a high order. Catherine Carroll Murphy 21 Lewis Street “A true friend is a gift from God An artist of future promise is Catherine. Her sketches are clever and adorn our Xavier. She is of a very amiable and reserved disposition. and you have to get quite close to her to appreciate her sterling worth both in studious pursuits and in fun and frolic. May she fare well. Marie Janice O'Connor 29 East George Street 'Practice makes Perfect. Marie! What memories will come to us in later years when we hear that name! One look at those blue eyes and curly hair a la mode will wake us up to the happy days spent in S. X. A. Marie is full of fun and mischief. Spanish is her forte, as rumor has it. Marie’s studious habits are at all times an incentive for us. while her love for Music and Song is phenomenal. Marion Elizabeth O’Connor 4 Amy Street Kind hearts are more than coronets. To see Marion without a smile would certainly alarm us. Frequently. stage whisperings are heard in the direction of Marion, who often has to bear the brunt of the reproof, and she bears it. On these occasions, we stand in admiration of her honest and amiable traits. 1926 is her debtor with compound interest, for her ready wit that many times has saved the day for us. Marion can make and take jokes, a splendid combination, we think. The sunshine of bright days be with her! Mary Elizabeth O’Neill 123 Pine Street. Pawtucket Kindness adds sweetness to everything. Though she leads in fun and frolic, there is to be seen Mae's intellectual side which stands out in every study, particularly Spanish. in which, in her own words. I delight. Mary intends to become a teacher. We all join in wishing her every success at the R. I. C. E. Martina Frances Power 246 Norwood Avenue. Edge wood All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a twin. Martina is a very courteous girl and possessed of all the lovable qualities that make up loveliness. She comes from Edge wood, that picturesque corner on the border of R. I. This may account for her poetic sentiment. Martina loves her violin, and entrances us in her artistic use of it. Our socials would be dull without her. The Xavier Page Nineteen

And prove that our victory is very well won. Carry our love and our thanks to the faculty. Thank them for helping us, showing their charity: Speak of our reverence. For their benevolence. Tell them we're leaving today our fond loyalty. Yes. 54 hearts we are leaving to-day: Assure them we give them, forever and aye: Announce our departure, but tell them we capture The luminous banner of Old S. X. A. Margaret M.
