Dorothy Amelia Blyth : Attleboro. Mass. Behold the shrinking Violet. From the city of Attleboro Dot-tie arrives daily. Though so far from Providence, she sets an example of strict punctuality; her train is never late. Whose is? Dorothy is a pleasant companion and has the deep affection of the “Merry Trio.

A true friend is forever a friend. “Cathie is the life of our chemistry period with her plying ques tions so wittily put. It is helpful that she does this, for somo of us are a little modest in asking the whys and wherefores of puzzling queries. Millville is “Cath-e’s” home town and we feel It will be a better town when her charming personality and beautifully winsome qualities are recognized and known as S. X. A. has inown and appreciated them. 41 Tucker Avenue, Dorothea Ursula Burke 2137 Cranston Street, Crans “None knew her, but fo love, Doris has won the affi fion of her teachers aMd� classmates by her kfiHl, gentl and courteous mann« .

Thou art pretty to walk with; thou art witty to talk with; thou art pleasant to think of. Who is that faithful little doorkeeper? It is none other than our loving Helen, who daily performs this duty. Helen possesses a charming personality that has made her not only dear to her classmates but to her teachers. Spanish and French are her favorite studies. We predict a bright future for Helen as a private secretary. Page Ten The Xavur mody SJ Elinor Rita Carmody 288 Washington Avenue, Edge wood, R. I. “Silence is golden, speech, silver. Elinor is two and one-half years old in S. X. A., but it has been a pleasant period of time for us, and we hope for her, too. We have found out that under her dignified reserve there is much sociability and loyalty. She does earnest work in her class, and is especially interested in Chemistry. May our best hopes be realized for her. 42 Landor Street “A true friend is a friend forever. Anna’s natural smile and sunny disposition have gained for her many friends at S. X. A. Anna is an earnest student and a sincere friend. College is to be her prospective work and we are sure that she will be appreciated there. Her classmates wish her the greatest success. V Heltfn Marie Casey 159 Howell Street In character, in manner, in style, in all things; the supreme excellence is simplicity. We will always remember Helen as one of S. X. A.’s most brilliant students. Her achievements as a scholar are noteworthy, and her willingness to help others has won for her a place in our hearts. Whatever may be her future, she will always have the sincere love of her teachers and classmates.

May a full measure of success be yours, Helen. The Xavier J' rt'ijJf; Veronica Mary Degna 70 Croyland Road “Nothing is too hard f pr hands. Ready to lend a helping hand to her companions, Veronica has distinguished herself at all times. English and Stenography are her favorite, studies. We feel certain that some day our Veronica will be manager of a great business in some distant land. The ladder of success will not be too high for our beloved classmate to mount. Page Eleven Frances Hope Desmond 184 Grand Ave., Edgewood, R. I. Make me love what’s true and right, nor wisdom's ways to shun.” When the interesting history of Twenty-Seven has been laid open to the world, the winning personality of Frances will receive its due mention. Her ability as a tudent is unquestionable, for during her four years at St. Xavier’s she has distinguished herself in that capacity. Possessed with a lovable and sympathetic disposition she has won a place in the hearts of all; she is a sincere friend, a lovable comrade. May your success, Frances, be as boundless as our love for you! Katherine Loyola Doyle 117 Sheldon Street ••What we have been makes us what we are. Katherine is of the studious type and we hear astonishing reports from the Chemistry Lab.” She also likes Biology. To know her is to love her is the dictum of our class. This motto is well adapted to Katherine, for she has acquired for herself the title of a true lady, gentle, kind and courteous to all. y Marie Gertrude Dunn 57 Beaufort Street “None knew her but to love her” Marie is one of the most ing girls in our class. Spanish is her favorite study, but no other lesson suffers on that account. During her four years at the Academy she has been a diligent student, and has won the love of all her teachers and classmates who wish her the best of luck. Adios, Maria! Ic Wise Veronica Gambuto 74 West Clifford Street “You have deserved high commendation, true applause and love.” Words are not sufficient to describe our Louise. One must make the acquaintance of this charming, little Miss in order to appreciate her sterling character. Studious habits, daring leadership, sincere friendship, and true love are the qualities that have won for her hosts of friends and admirers. Our Class Meetings” would indeed be a failure without some suggestion from Louise. We sincerely hope that life will deal kindly with our dear classmate and give her many opportunities to prove her honor, worth and courage to the world. Page Tlvelve $ • “Her bright smile haunts me still.” Dainty ways, pleasing manners and sweet voice have endeared this precious maid to her classmates. Her unfailing loyalty makes her a cherished friend in and out of school. Spanish and French are her choice studies. Her standing in S. X. A. is creditable and her principles are of a (j high order. May the sunshine of - 4— bright days be with you, Sarah. Elizabeth Marie Geary Bradford Park, Cent redale, R. I. “Virtue is to herself reward.” the best Elizabeth is full of tricks and pranks, which often cost her unrelished reproofs; however, she has sufficient rebound and soon her tears are absorbed in her sweet amiability. Science seems Alo be her bent; for particularly good are her marks in Chemistry and Biology. Every humorist is v appreciated in social life and V elizabeth is no exception among her companions. The Xavi cr Elizabeth Joan Giblin 47 Perrin Avenue, Pawtucket, R. I. C - Margaret Catherine Kelleher “Kind hearts are more than coronets.” The reputation of Pawtucket is strongly sustained by its representative. Elizabeth, one of our honor girls. She is a bright light in her class and knows no obstacle to prevent her in her pursuit of knowledge. We admire her ready and intelligent answers on every occasion. All that is helpful to her school claims h� r attention. What an addition she has been to our “Ads” is well known and appreciated. She is worthy, we think, of the groat success that time must hold for her. 36 Landor Street “Multum In parvo.’ A joke, a smile, a giggle, a blush—mix up these ingredients and we have a veritable “Peg O’ Our Hearts.” Hers is a humorous disposition, and her irrepressive bursts of laughter have fitted in well and timely in what might A have been dull moments. On the jXtfother hand, we find her enjoying ( r™ a reputation for scholarship of which we, too, would like to be possessed. Small parcels contain precious matter, Margaret thinks, and so do we who have realized her worth. Madelyn Alice Guenther 144 Ferris Avenue, Rumford, R. I. “To live in hearts is not to die.” One would never know that Madelyn hails from the village of Rumford, she is so actively identified with the bustle and rush of city life. All of us enjoy M’s ready and sparkling wit, and find it a powerful antidote for warding off gloom and sadness. Though of a socially inclined disposition, it, in no way, interferes with her programme of school assignments. She has attained a good scholastic standing, and is particularly clever in English and Science. May your future years be as happy as the years spent in S. X. A.. Madelyn. ✓ Doris Virginia Hye 204 Saratoga Street � “Humor is the harmony of the heart.” Yes, this is Dot,” the life of our class. Her loyalty to 27 is expressed both in word and deed. She has that pleasing personality which gains for her a host of friends. Dot has proved herself efficient in. all her studies, and her rank as a stenographer predicts for her rare success in the business world. Martha Bernadine Kelly 25 North Bend Street, Pawtucket, R. !. k “Petite but sweet: light of heart and light of feet.” What motto more suited to Martha? Her cheery good-morning” (although sometimes late) is refreshing. Martha and wit are synonymous. Her repartee and sense of humor have caused many a giggle along the corridors. Although Martha is frolicsome and gay it does not lessen her thinking powers. Her ingenuity in the geometry class and her Latin translations are the envy of her friends. Kathleen Mary Keohane 117 Calverly Street; “With her heart In a!l i d Here is Kay whose spjmvand loyalty to her class has won for her the friendship of many oi her teachers and classmates. In Phonography and Typewriting she excels. Her plans for the future are uncertain, but the past is a sure indication of the success that usually follows plucky effort. The Xavier Page Thirteen Harrictte Zita Ktough 41 Arch Street, Pawtucket “A Girl Who goes into the Depths of Things.” “Dues, please?” Ah, that’s Harriette’s melodious voice taking us to task for lack of payment. Being Treasurer of our class is no little task for one small person. So thinks Harri-ette. She and her “chum” from Pawtucket always manage to arrive at the door each morning some time after nine o’clock. To be sure the “Electrics” are to blame. She is serious-minded and apt as a pupil. May prosperity attend you. Harriette! Catherine Louise King 1203 Smith Street The best prophet of the future is the past.” Louise is serene, studious and obliging, “an old-fashioned girl of the minuet.” Judging the future by the past, we prophesy great honors for Louise in whatever field of work she enters. S. X. A. looks for the best and wishes her a happy future. Ellen Leo Knox 125 Governor Street A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Thus has Ellen shown herself to be during her four years at S. X. A. Her genial disposition is ever ready for new plans and our “Socials” would lack much zest without her charming voice. Too, she speaks and acts in our plays very creditably. We all join in wishing her every success. 46 Locust Street Fun is seen in her dancing eyes.” Lou” brings sunshine and cheer wherever she goes. She has a fascinating personality which has endeared her to the hearts of her classmates. Although her time is not wholly lost in study, her marks show that she does not neglect them. There are rumors that Louise intends to further her education at St. Elizabeth’s. Happy St. Elizabeth’s! Eva Elizabeth Lewis 88 Bridgham Street Her voice was ever gentle, An excellent thing in woman.” But her voice is not. her only excellence. Her talents make her a leader in our class; we oft envy the dispatch with which she controls her lessons, while we, less fortunate in our endowments, just plod along the way. “El Capitan Veneno,” our Spanish cavalier, has charms for her. No, es verdad, Eva? Her beautiful and agreeable disposition is her own; she has proved herself a real and trustworthy friend in the membership of her class, particularly among the noted sextette. Elsie Christine Marcaccio 687 Charles Street None but herself is her parallel.” This quotation well describes our Elsie, for her knowledge and diligence are without parallel. She is a gifted linguist, and this is due not to her talent alone but to her steady perseverance. She is beloved by teachers and pupils, being a true student and a loyal friend. Elsie intends to enter Trinity College in the fall and we feel sure that she will take with her the scholarly characteristics she displayed at S. X. A.

When the youngest of our class is in college-land, she will have left at S. X. A. a sweet forget-me-not.

It is a truth that Ellen the bright side, shine reign w like her for be a class always first to ifQT fopiHlimes maybe, she would IfijfJbfrUve a greater distance. (jVould it be a better excuse? Her class realizes that in Ellen they have a bright and “peppy” member. Science seems to be her preference. We wish her success in whatever field of labor she enters.

Her personality and charming niann have completely won our hear Dull indeed would be the En£ ® period without Mary’s VN questions. May the world treasu this fair maiden as we do. Christina MagHalen McCarthy 190 Broad Street ‘ To those who know thee not, No words can paint thee: To those who do, all words are faint. And it is true for the “Chris” of our class. Her charming manners and nobility of character are all her own. If you are in need, go to Christina and always be sure of her sympathy and assistance. Judging by the many mishaps and “capped hands,” we think Chemistry has the honor place in Christina’s studies. Her loyalty to Alma Mater and her classmates is unmatched. We are sure that whatever her work in life may be, it will meet with the success that her earnestness warrants. Mary Agatha McCarthy 408 Bullock’ River; atha McCarthy :’s Point rside, R. I. ' “A true friend Is a gift from God.” Void la belle of Riverside!

Mary’s winning smile and gentle manners have won her a place in the hearts of her teachers and classmates. Her favorite studies are Spanish and Typewriting, and dull, indeed, would be the Spanish period without Mary’s contribution of wit. May the future hold for her a high place in the business world. The Xavier Page Fifteen elen Louise Cormack Frances Marie McGovern 567 Angell Street 68 Dudley Avenue, Conimicut, It. I. “A smile will go a long, long way.” Without Helen, there would be much to regret; she is thoughtful and kind, and shows a readiness to assist in all our activities. We had experience of this earnestness in our “December Sale.” Helen is polite and courteous and has good marks in her record of scholarship. We wish her a pleasant and successful career. “True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. In a test of four years “B has proved himself one of the most popular girls in the class. She is prompt, cheerful and studious. Her translations in Latin make us less brilliant mortals sigh with envy. We feel certain that the college that receives her will appreciate her. M'- £ 4. Mary Matthew McDonald 102 Thayer Street “The whole wide world hath not her equal. Possessed of grace and kindly cheer, A guiding light we all revere; Attractions rare, are all her own; We love her for the good she’s sown. Dorothea Marie McEntee 143 Sixth Street “There’s always laughter in her eyes.” Dot’s genial and loving disposition is contagious; wherever she is there is always a pleasant and social group gathered. Her favorite subjects are Chemistry and Biology in which she stands high. A picture of her future career seems to be full of scientific ambition. Who knows but some day we shall find her name in the category of the leading chemists of the day, n’est-ce pas, girls? Anna Marie McKenna 81 Evergreen Street “A little nonsense, now and then. Is relished by the best of men.” Happy, cheerful, laughing, yes, you guessed it; she is none other than our cheery Anna, one of the inseparable trio. She excels in English but does not slight her other studies. Her future is undecided. but we are assured that whatever Anna undertakes will be brought to a successful issue. “Bon voyage’’ on a calm sea, Anna. Loretta Rita McKenna 1328 Douglas Avenue North Providence “Smile and the world smiles with you.” The above extract is most suited to Loretta, for with her merry laughter and kind disposition she spreads cheer everywhere. “Larry” is a competent student and she hopes to become a teacher. A few years hence will find Loretta conducting a class of tots with rare success. Page Sixteen The Xavier Elizabeth Bernadette McMann 3 Coveil Street • Irene Dorothy McNamari “She breathed the spirit of the song. “Silence is golden” is the motto of our dear classmate, Elizabeth. But she has often broken this silence, and has shown us that her voice is golden as well, for she is one of our song birds. She is ever ready to lend a helping hand in our difficulties. That success may crown all your future undertakings is our sincere wish, Elizabeth. Beatrice Mary McNamee 249 Washington Avenue “A full rich nature free to trust, Loyal, kind, and just! Click! Click! Click! The typewriter responds to the swift fingers of this demure and accurate typist. Whether in Typewriting, Stenography, or English, Beatrice’s answers are ever ready and worth while. Dignity finds in her its most gracious expression and she will carry from S. X. A. a rich heritage of scholarship and the warm friendship of her classmates. 86 Carolina Avenue Courtesy of purpose is the magic key to success. A petite mademoiselle is Irene, and oh, how we love her! She cherishes the final hope of “growing up’’ some day. Her kindness and lovable manner have gained her a deep niche in the hearts of her teachers and classmates. Whatever may be her future, she will always have the sincere love of the Class of 1927. Regina Margaret McPeak Grace Road, Conimicut, R. I. Smile and the world smiles with you. Surely you all know this charming Miss from Conimicut whose ready wit has always been a source of enjoyment to her classmates. She is not only a very jovial girl but very studious. She excels in mathematics, but her other studies are also of high standing. We are sure that she will succeed in whatever she may attempt in the future. Margaret Mary Meagher 47 Roanoke Street “It is a point of wisdom to be silent. Repose and quiet are Margaret’s outstanding characteristics; however, this does not mean that the cheery and pleasant side is wanting. She is earnest in her studies and her readiness to help at all times has made her esteemed among her classmates. Margaret has not decided upon her future work, but we know that her quiet reserve and wisdom will find her a way. All things good be yours, Margaret. Winifred Mary Milla 53 Lockwood Street “Fair manners are the mantles of fair minds. Short is the time that Winifred has been with us, for she came in the third year. However, four whole years could not have made her more endeared and appreciated. Shorthand and Typewriting are her chief assets and coupled with a sunny disposition and good sense, she will be a priceless treasure in the business world. The Xavier Page Seventeen Eileen Rita Monahan Beach Avenue, Conimicut Brevity is the soul of wit.” Eilteen is one of our out-of-town girls—but distance only lends enchantment. Eileen has proved her skill as an artist and as a designer by her many contributions to the “Xavier.” She is also a stenographer of no mean ability. Which shall it be, Eileen, a stenographer or an artist? hi Cecile Marie Monette Conimicut, R. I. •‘She’s calm and reserved—that’s as far as she goes, She seems to be quiet—yet one never knows.” Cecile cane to us from Bay View, a timid little Miss, but she soon got over her shyness, and is now one of the happy and “at home” girls of our class. She is a singer, a finished pianist, and an organist. If radios ever go out of date, little Conimicut will have to look to Cecile for its musical entertainment. Gertrude Muriel Murray 42 Green Sreet, East Greenwich in need indeed.’ And now we come to ouugpeai Miss “East Greunwich. tetter known as Gen w ) always laughing and cheenkm Her problems in (Wnmercial Arithmetic are among r C bfst, though this does not decease her merit in Dther We hope that Gertrude’s dream will and she will wear a cap and uniform dispensing r kindly care upon her patients. Anna Loretta Nugent 87 Oakland Avenue A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” “Sweet sixteen” is well personified in Laura, our “sunbeam.' She has proven herself a girl of rare talent, having obtained the semester scholarship from St. Patrick’s. But Laura is also frolicsome, sympathetic and an ideal companion. We hope some day to see her as professor of French and Latin in one of our leading colleges. Mary Eleanor Newman 40 Anthony Street, East Providence, R. I. “To think well Is to act well.”. Smiling, gracious, and with (lenity in her demeanor, Eleanor has that happy faculty of making herself agreeable to all her associates. Shorthand and typing are her favorite studies, ami vve P,edict much success for Eleanor’s future. Mary Jr Christine Nugent 87 Oakland Avenue “None knew her hut to love her.” Christine! What memories will come to us in later years when we see or hear that name. She is a pleasing type of a school companion who has made a host of friends and admirers. What business firm will be the happy possessor of her next year? To them we now offer our congratulations. Page Eighteen The Xavier iLM Elizabeth Fra Frances O’Connor ■171 Wood Ctreet, Bristol, R. I. “Accomplishments were native to her mind. Like precious pearls within a clasping shell. ' Behold, our only representative from Bristol ! Since Elizabeth came to us from Colt High School she has been an excellent student and a prominent member of the class. Her untiring energy and ne’er failing knowledge displayed in Latin have often been our redeeming features. Although Elizabeth is undecided where she will further her education, we feel certain that she will always attain success in all her undertakings. Men O’Leary “Success is the reward of labor.” A halo of curls frames Mary’s smiling countenance and her smile goes a long, long way and is typical of her gracious and beautiful disposition. The above motto has carried its meaning to Mary and her faith in it has brought her its reward. She has been an earnest student, and we know honest endeavor will mark her career. Kathryn Lilli; StillwateruR. I. “Wholesome as air and genial as the light. Welcome in every clime as breath of flowers.” The little village of Stillwater should be proud to possess within its compass our talented Kathryn. Her beautiful voice has charmed us on many occasions. During her years at St. Xavier’s she has acquired remarkable success in all her studies, and we feel her future career will make her the pride of Alma Mater. Kathryn will enter the great realm of teachers and we feel she will give to others the joy and helpfulness that she has given to us. a 69 Doyle Avenue “Around her shone.

See those eyes dancing with fun which help to brighten many a tedious hour. Her happy nature and quick wit make her a loved member of the “Happy Six.” Her wit also is evident in our Parliamentary Law Class. “Len” excels in her school work, especially in English. Gifted with a large vocabulary and a quick mind, she is able to refute any argument. Dramatic art holds a great attraction for her, principally does she revel in comedy rol s, n’est-ce pas, “Len?” The Xavier S' Catherine Avis Phillips Harmony, Rhode Island It’s the heaven within her that makes a heavwivwitbfrut.’ of ’27 do pianist, endowed with y, she is talented in Whi withoul Although ejjp musichljabi eountrsl ther pursuits.

Page Nineteen Marion Elizabeth Porter Shawomet, R. I. “The end crowns the work.” Mary Regina Quirk 67 Plain Street Marion is the representative of Shawomet. and we should welcome other girls from this town because of the knowledge and experience we have of her loyalty and constant interest, in all that belongs to S. X. A. Earnest effort has brought good marks to her in her studies. Her future plans are to become a nurse, and we feel her kind and sunny disposition will tit her for this work. “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” When Mary’s hearty laughter resounds throughout the lunch room, it is contagious. However, Mary is serious, too. especially when “the minutes of the last meeting are,” and we sit attentive to the reading of them. Her ability in English and Shorthand has delighted her classmates. All our best wishes are yours, Mary. Katherine Frances Reynolds 14 French Street “List to the fairy strains of music. If you chance to attend one of our school programmes and hear a sweet, melodious voice resounding you will know that it is our Katherine’s. Although she appears very quiet and serious, she enjoys fun, and at lunch period you may hear her merry laugh echo through the hall. She is ever a staunch friend and classmate and will take with her the good wishes of her class. her but to love her.” A “Jule,” a real jewel ! No words are adequate to express our opinion of Julia. She holds a high rank in all her studies and is noted as a 100% typist. Wherever you see “Jule,” you are sure to see her two pals, Milly and Anna, otherwise known as the “inseparable Three.” Graduation Day is going to be a sorrowful one, when trom our “Jule,” we do part. Julia Veronica Riordan 66 Belmont Avenue Of 4- 4C ngeia Reynolds Mary Angela Reynolds 253 Brook Street Loving, kind and gay, doing good the live-long day.” What words could be more descriptive of our “Angie”?

Farewell “Angie,” and may your happy smile warm the hearts of all with whom you come in con- Kathleen Elizabeth Riordan 66 Belmont Avenue • Blue eyes smiling at me; Nothing but blue eyes do I see.” A sweet little Miss with twinkling eyes, who answers to the name of “Kay.” She has maintained a high record in her school work during her four years at S. X. A. Her favorite study is Shorthand, but in English and Spanish we notice her intense enthusiasm. Kathleen’s hope is to become a school teacher and we know that she will be very successful in imparting her knowledge to the younger generation. Adios, dear Kay, and may there be no thorns to pierce your fingers around the roses of success. Page Twenty The Xavier Elizabeth Joan Roarke 21 Harris Avenue, West Warwick, R. I. Kindness adds sweetness to everything. The famed West Warwick should be proud of the gracious, ladylike and precious burden its Bus” has brought to us for the past four years. During this time we have learned to appreciate and admire this winsome Miss. Her serious efforts have won good marks. She is devoted to her English class. The typing period would have a missing unit if Elizabeth’s clicking did not add its part to the musical (?) cadences of our machines. Mary Anne Ryan 78 Sumter Street Teach me half the gladness that thy brain must know. Mary was Tyler’s gift to us. In the classroom she has distinguished herself by her diligence and studiousness. Goemetry Is her favorite study. Her willingness to help others makes her a sunbeam in her social life. Mary will study at Trinity and with her go our wishes for great success. Ruth Katherine Sanderson Royal Avenue, Conimicut, R. I. She has a vast store of knowledge. How fortunate S. X. A. was when Ruth decided to leave Classical, after one year’s stay, and to come and join the class of 1927. Her record marks the fruit of her earnest efforts. French is her favorite subject and one may also note her ability in Latin. Mary Margaret Sheehan 2 Pearl Street • Brevity is the soul of wit. Our Vice President! But we assure you that she has no vices. Mary is gifted with rare intellectual powers, and is most generous in imparting her knowledge to help others less favored. Ask Mary any question, on any subject. and her information is clear and correct. We are anxious to hear of her great success in life, which we feel is almost assured. 61 Ravenswood Avenue Ah. no one could resist her, For she is as pure as the dawni.ig morn. Stop! Look! Listen! Our dainty Miss Milly. Mildred is one of our popular students. Spanish is her favorite study in which she scores 100. Mildred’s ambition tends toward the business world, and we all hope she may reach the top rung of the ladder. I shall not look upon her like again.

Success and happiness, Hortense! Marnupritp Marguerite Honora Teubert 147 Pomona Avenue “Knowledge is Power.” Our poor words of description can add nothing to Marguerite’s enviable record at S. X. A. For four years her scholastic standing has been among the highest, and she has always been considered, and rightly so, a leader. We are certain that wherever her work in life may tend, the natural ability and loving disposition which she possesses shall continue to btain for her fame and success. Blanche Adeline Walsh 30 Carrington Avenue Sarah Veronica Varnum 179 Woodward Avenue, East Providence, R. I. Helen Cecelia Warren “None knew her but to love her.” A girl deserving all consideration she represents kind thoughts for others and great readiness to help at all times. Her laughing eyes together with a natural and irrepressible wit is a sure cure for the “blues.” She is an earnest student, but is particularly partial to “Chem.” Her recitations and class experiments in the “Lab” show her to be one of the “sextet’s” most valuable ex-laments in this department. Carmelita Ursula Waterman She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on.” To attempt to outline the characteristics and abilities of Blanche would be an almost futile task. Possessed of a pleasing personality, and graced with gifted genius, she is one of the brightest girls of her class. Ready at all times to aid, her future, judging from her past, will be profitable for those to whom she lends her willing services. 11 Rockingham Street “Her goodness shines out like the glow from a gem.” Here is Helen, the girl with the hearty laugh. English period claims her whole attention, although Spanish steps in once in a while. To see Helen without Reggie and Kay, would cause great wonder in the senior class. Farewell Helen, and may the best of luck accompany you through life. Hildegarde Anna Wolf 40 Frances Avenue, Auburn. A True Friend is a gift from God.” If you are looking for a kind, industrious maiden, let us present to you our Carmelita, one of the stars of the Commercial Division. Since she came to us in the third year, she has won the admiration of teachers and classmates. She is ever ready to lend a helping hand in all class activities. May success and happiness attend you, Carmelita! Lakewood, R. I. “She moves a goddess, and looks a queen.” First in everything is this gentle maid, who daily trends her way back and forth from Lake-wood. An excellent student and an earnest worker, proved by her scholastic record. Her unassuming manner and helpful ways have won many friends during the four years spent at S. X. A. Success and happiness are the sincere wishes of her teachers and classmates for her. Page Twenty-two The History of The Class of ’27 FOREWORD The first part of this serial was written in 1923. 1 he authors were a little timid as to its publication, but the public was so well pleased that the work was continued during three successive years. Now the demand for the detached chapters is so great that the authors have deceided to publish them in book form under the title A STORY IN FOUR CHAPTERS Chapter 1 The characters in this story are so numerous, seventy-nine to be exact, that we cannot give a detailed description of each, individually; suffice it to say that comparing them with any other group for intelligence, culture, sound principles, or personal attractions would be like comparing Hyperion to a Satyr. Well, to begin the story of these charming young ladies—Bright and early on the morning of September 12, 1923, the present S. X. A. Class of ‘27 tripped in gaily from all parts of Rhode Island to the famous high school for girls, St. Xavier’s Academy. At first these “little freshies” seemed quite shy, but very quickly they had broken down all barriers of formality and were right “at home.” Whether the order of the day called for A Pilgrimage to Our Lady’s Shrine, a regular period of lessons’ grind, the impersonation of witches and goblins, or the spectators at the display of higher students’ talent. The Xavier Page Tivenl )-three what matter! All had acquired the S. X. A. spirit, and thus the year sped quickly by, and all departed with a sigh. Chapter II September eight, 1924, found our girls once more at dear old S. X. A., eager to renew old friendships and to form new ones. This year they felt obliged to lay aside all childish views and to assume the important air of Sophomores. They crossed the Rubicon with Caesar, joined his tenth legion, and rivalled even Labienus in the campaign work of the year. I he Senior Sale gave them a splendid opportunity to prove that they had grasped the full meaning of being responsible. And this spirit, responsible loyalty, was manifest in all they did, but no where so manifest as in the final tests. So successful were they in the examinations that they fell they rightly earned a long vacation. Chapter III Pink ties! the sign of the Junior Class! How eagerly they donned them! And with what dignity they wore them! Nothing seemed too difficult for these determined students. Geometry complications to them were recreation; Spanish pronunciation, just sweet harmony; Cicero’s orations, only delightful pastimes; English classics, a method of cultural training for the future. During this year, too, our girls gave evidence that they were “dainty trippers of the light fantastic,” as well as diligent students. After displaying their singular and combined abilities in the observance of the Diamond Jubilee of the Sisters of Mercy, the Juniors departed with high hopes of returning after the vacation as “the observed of all observers”-—Seniors. Chapter IV 1 he summer months dragged on! Would September ever come! Yes, everything comes to him who waits! The sun rises gloriously on September twelfth! Our girls are Seniors! Seniors, with all the privileges that the word implies— assembling in Room I, wearing red ties, the responsibility of giving good example to the undergraduates, sailing the deep with Aeneas, joining the literary club with Dr. Johnson, discovering the mysteries of the laboratory, deciphering the hieroglyphics of phonography, etc. Then a tornado of events took place—election, Hallowe’en Party, Sale, Retreat, the Alumnae Ball—at which they made their debut—and hosts of minor events. And now Commencement Day draws near! Our girls are sad and glad—sad, because their high school days at dear S. X. A. are over and they must part; glad, because of the honor of being graduated from St. Xavier’s, and of becoming a member of that splendid body of Catholic Women, The St. Francis Xavier Alumnae Association. Always will the happy memory of the four years at S. X. A. be a stimulus to greater good! Harriette Z. Keough A. Loretta Nugent Page Tiventp-four The Xavier Our Class Motto Spes Nobis in Te Dominc.

Page Twenty-six The Xaoier ■qT Father Time Announces j OOD evening. I his is Father Time announcing, broadcasting from Station I T[ S. X. A. at the Providence Studio. 60 Broad Street. The musical open-ing was given by the famous sextet, the Misses Catherine Reynolds, Ellen Knox, Catherine Patt, Mary McAndrews, Christina McCarthy and Elizabeth McMann, all artists of the Class of 'll. They were accompanied at the piano by Miss Avis Phillips, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music. I heir selections were composed especially for the occasion, the words by Kathleen Keohane and Mildred Shierson, the music by Catherine C. Buckley and Ruth Sanderson, the world-known song writers. Miss Mary McDonald. President of the Class of 'll of S. X. A., has asked me to entertain this evening. Miss McDonald believes that many hearts are interested in her former classmates. Needless to say, I see them frequently and might add that they are the same happy, joyous girls that they were ten years ago. Of course the years have made them a bit more serious. You would be quite surprised to know how much severity the role of school teacher has added to Doris Burke, Helen Burke, Louise King, Helen Warren, Kathleen Riordan, Margaret Kelleher, Anna McKenna and Loretta Nugent, Elsie Marcaccio teaches languages, and Mary Ryan teaches Latin and Geometry. Ellen Morley has her M. A. and teaches English in a Providence High School. Just a few evenings ago, a special meeting was held by the Business Women’s Association of Rhode Island. Miss Mary Quirk was chairman of the meeting. I he meeting was such a long one and there were so many questions to be discussed, that it reminded me of your class meetings. Loretta McKenna had the floor most of the time, but Elizabeth Giblin did her share in the proposings.” Elizabeth, you know, has accomplished her long-wished-for ambition. She owns the biggest pharmacy in Pawtucket. Margaret Maher and Dorothea MacEntee were present, but they seemed to enjoy each other's company more than the proceedings of the meeting, for they now have much in The Xavier Page Twenty-seven common, both having become celebrated public speakers. Catherine Doyle. Rhode Island's foremost woman lawyer, moved that the meeting adjourn and Irene McNamara, Catherine's business partner, seconded the motion. Helen McCormack, a reporter for the Tribune, took notes on the meeting and her report appeared in the Sunday Tribune, now edited by Doris Hye. Dorothy Blythe was the first to marry. Others soon followed her example. Marion Porter and Cecile Monette were married in the same week. Eleanor Carmody, Eva Lewis, Anna Corrigan, Ethel Davidson, Antoinette Barone and Veronica Degnan are also happily married. I, myself, have some helpers from the Class. Helen Marcaccio is a doctor at St. Aloysuis’ Hospital where Madeline Guenther and Regina McPeak are head nurses. Lenora Owens, Martha Kelly, Hildegard Wolfe. Mary Bowen, Louise Lough, Gertrude Murray and Mary O’Leary have also followed the profession of nursing. Have any of you seen the paintings that the world is talking about to-day? Gladys Smyth and Marguerite Teubert are the artists. Sarah Varnum. the celebrated chemist, gave a lecture a few nights ago on “What is Chemistry?” In her talk, she incidently mentioned the latest books of Beatrice Mac-namee and Carmelita Waterman, two famous novelists. The Sheehan Business School, established by Mary Sheehan and Louise Gambuto, staged a debate last week. The debating team consisted of the state’s most noted debaters, the Misses Harriette Keough, Christine Nugent and Marie Dunne on the Affirmative, and the Misses Angela Reynolds, Julia Riordan and Eleanor Newman on the Negative. 1 he judges of the debate were Helen Corey and Mary McClurg. teachers at the Pawtucket High School, and Elizabeth Roarke. an English teacher at West Warwick High School. I have kept until near the end, the sweetest part of my story. Do you remember, members of 27, how you used to wonder who would “enter?” Elizabeth Geary and Mary McCarthy were the first to join our dear Sisters of Mercy. Sarah Flynn and Catherine Patton are Dominicans. Frances McGovern and Frances Desmond, graduates of St. Elizabeth’s, joined the order of their college teachers. Blanche Walsh, Helen Casey and Winifred Millard were deeply impressed by the talk which Dr. Dengal gave to our class, and they are now members of the Society of Catholic Medical Missionaries. I hope you have enjoyed my talk. 1 o others it may seem monotonous, but to the members of the Class of ’27 of St. Xavier’s Academy, tidings of their beloved classmates were doubtless most interesting. And now I must bid you all good-night. Station S. X. A. signing off at exactly twelve minutes after nine. Father time announcing. May God bless you all, dear children of S. X. A. Eileen R.

Verses 268-310 I he night was still and over Ilium's plain, 1 he moon so fair to Greece, so false to Troy, Shed forth no light that fatal, dreadful night. I he murmured hush of treachery was all Which pierced the silence deep, that hovered o’er Th’ impending fall of Priam’s glorious realm. Untroubled by the imminent defeat, I slept, when lo! a phantom, yes, in truth. An image sad and gore-stained seemed to rise. In speechless awe, I see my hero friend. And then my heart, so filled with woe, burst forth: O Light of I rojans, proudest hope of Troy! 0 long-expected Hector, Priam’s boast. Why loiter’dst thou? This land is hostile to our race. Didst thou not know that Troy hath need of thee? But why these gaping wounds in hands and feet? And why so scarred, so wan, thy manly face? Ah! thou, who ne’er from battle yet return’dst Save with the palm of victory, thine own. 1 oo plain, I see these weighty, captive chains. These mortal wounds, our victor youth now bound. Will not the gods avenge this savage deed?” « Then do I turn distraught, bereft of sense, I o go mid battle’s fierce array, and there Cause Grecian blood, a retribution pay. While so enraged, the voice of Hector warned: “O son of Venus! flee, I pray thee, flee. 0 pride of Troy! no further debt is thine; To gird thine arms again would be in vain; If any hand could save this land so loved, 1 hat hand, O. dearest friend, would be mine own. Foredoomed are ye; the fatal day hath dawned; 1 o thee, O 1 rojan hero, Troy commends I he loved Penates and her sacred fire. And when the surging billows thou hast crossed. Thy home, a far-famed Troy, will one day be.” The Xavier Page Tliirt )-lhrcc And then before my very eyes, he brought From mid the hallowed temple’s inmost shrine The household gods of Troy, my sacred care. I rose then from my couch in eager haste. And rushed into the halls of Priam’s home. Until I reached the utmost height, and there. Alone, I stood and viewed the fated Troy, As would, in sheer dismay, a shepherd see A roaring flood lay waste his guarded fields. O then, in truth, the tragic end I see. The artful wiles of Grecian treachery. Mary A. Ryan. Riding, Pegasus MOUNTING winged Pegasus on first arriving at St. Xavier’s, we started on a long delightful flight towards Mount Parnassus. Our good steed had led so many others over the self-same route, that he knew just when and where to make a stop, just where we should receive most help for the continuance of our journey. One of our first stops as the curfew was tolling, was into a country churchyard, which we recognized as the subject of Gray’s Elegy. Upon looking at this lonesome scene, we fully realized the true significance of these lines, now so familiar to us: Full manp a gem of purest rap serene The darl( unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full manp a gem is born to blush unseen. And waste its sweetness on the desert air.” Mounting Pegasus once more we sped on, and “So like an arrow swift he flew, shot from an archer strong,” that we soon found ourselves in “Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,” and in Goldsmith’s immortal words we mourned the now Deserted Village.” “Ill fares the land to hastening ills a prep, IVhere wealth accumulates and men decap; Princes and lords map flourish or map fade; A breath can mal(c them, as a breath has made. Again our gallant steed “Galloped off with all his might. As he had done before. And “Now came still evening; and Twilight grap Had in her sober liverp all things clad.” Page Thirip-four The Xavier In the darkness we reached a rippling brook where: “The slag al eve had drunk his fill Where danced ihe moon on Monan's rill; And deepest midnight’s lair had made. In lone Clenartney’s hazel shade.’’ We cared not to leave this sweet refreshing calm, yes, a calm, as refreshing to us travellers as was the dead calm distressing to the “Ancient Mariner. For “Silently one by one in the infinite heavens of heaven. Blossomed the lovely stars, the for-gcl-me-nols of the angels.” Here under the lovely stars, the whispering winds soon lulled asleep our tired senses. As “Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings, of that mysterious instrument, the soul, “so too, in an equally mysterious manner our thoughts flitted and brought us to the castle of Sir Launfal. In this land of dreams we felt that “No mortal builder’s rare device. Could match this winter palace of ice. Within this “proudest hall of North Countree,” we saw a sword which bore a striking resemblance to the jewel laden Excalibur of King Arthur. Then appeared another vision: “Elaine the fair, Elaine the lovable,. . Elaine the lily-maid of Aslolal.” In gazing upon this sweet maiden, the words of Matthew Arnold crossed our minds: “For some are born to do great deeds and live As some are born to be obscured and die. ’1 was then the golden sun rising in the eastern horizon, called us from our dreams. Off again on faithful old Pegasus, we joyfully sang out: “I like these things, and I lil(c to ride When all the world is in bed; To the top of the hill where the s fji grows wide. And where the sun grows red. . Knowing that we were now prepared for the higher spheres of our flight, Pegasus rode swiftly on until he reached Dido’s shore. Here we rested for a time “As King Aeneas told his tale While all beside Were still, Rehearsed the fortunes of his sail And fate’s mysterious will; Then to its close the legend brought And gladly tool( the rcs he sought. The Xavier Page Thirty-five Astride our Pegasus once more, we realized as did “Comus” through whose woods we passed “The star that bids the shepherd fold. Non the top of Heaven doth hold.” So we hastened on, repeating to the rythm of our noble steed’s pace, Milton’s beautiful lines, “Mortals that rvould follow me Love virtue; she alone is free; She can teach ye how to climb Higher than the sphery chime; Or, if Virtue feeble Were, Heaven itself would stoop to her. At last we are nearing our goal, Mt. Parnassus. The climb to the summit is yet before us. Pegasus pauses, waiting for us to decide whether he will lead us upward by L’Allegro Path or by II Penseroso Road. It matters little which way we follow provided from our hearts we pray: “Lead, Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom Lead Thou me on! The night is darl(, and I am far from home— Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not asl( to see The distant scene—one step enough for me. Frances M. McGovern. MOTHER If I could write just what I ought If I could just express my thought. I’d write a word that's all pure gold, A word that always love has told; There's not a word, no not another That means so much as this one— Mother. Oh, is she not an angel fair. With kindly eyes and heart so rare? With loving words quite full of cheer, To guide us should the way be drear? There’s not a person, not another That means so much to me as Mother. Margaret C. Kelleher. Page Thirty-six The Xaviei “A Little Child Shall Lead Them’’ TICK, lock, tick, tock. Slowly the pendulum swung to and fro, each moment seeming an eternity to the tiny sufferer lying so still on the white cot. A tall man stood by the window of the large white room, gazing with tear-blinded eyes upon the drear November landscape. His usually hard, stern face was distorted in an agony of emotion. Outside could be heard the mournful drip, drip of the rain upon the dead leaves scattered around the hospital gate. Indeed it seemed as if all nature were in accord with the pain and sorrow in the great building. The grief-stricken man shuddered convulsively: If—oh Bobbie—My—!” and the Name of the Creator slipped from Mr. Harrington’s lips. Not as a prayer, ah, no, for this man had said, There is no God!” Bobbie! So Bobbie was going, Bobbie, the only creature he had ever really loved, Bobbie, his sole remembrance of “her,” whom he had killed by his carelessindifference to her and to religion. Indifference? Nay, more! He hated God, if, he thought, there was such a Being, he scorned all humans save two, now only one, and that one he soon would lose! What fools these doctors were, these scientists! “Save him, save him,” he had cried, and my fortune is yours!” But the doctors shook their heads—hopeless! Ah! and the man clenched his hands, yes, hopeless! He knew, for he, too, was a scientist. Only yesterday he had read in the editorial section of one of the New York papers: “Mr. Harrington, one of the leading men of this city, is already far upon the road to the greatest success anyone can hope to achieve. His enlightened mind, stripped of conventionalities and free from religious entanglements is a great asset to one in his field of endeavor.” Yesterday? How long ago yesterday seemed! What did it all matter now? It couldn’t give him back his boy! A sob broke from his lips as he vainly strove to control himself. Daddy, I—I want you. Daddy, came a week voice from the small bed. “Yes, Bobbie?” and the man strode across the room. “Don’t cry. Daddy! Does the pain hurt you, too? Is that what makes you cry?” “Daddy,” after a long interval of silence, “I heard that funny man with a long beard say I was going to die. Am I, Daddy?” “No, no! the man broke forth passionately, burying his face in his hands. “Don’t! Don’t look so. Daddy, you scare me. Lift me. Daddy, hold me—close— Bobbie wants to ask you something.” Mr. Harrington’s acquaintances would indeed have marvelled if they could have beheld the expression on his dark face as he held his little son’s pain-racked body close to his heart. “I’m so—tired,” the little lad sighed. “Daddy, what—what is dying? Where am I going? Will you be with me. Daddy? I won’t be so scared then!” 1 he strong man trembled. The words, “Where am I going?” rang in his ears. He did not know—oh, he did not know! What could he tell him? His powerful phil- 77ie Xavier Page Thirty-seven osophy. Life, Death, Nothing. No, not that! Not for Bobbie! Nothing, nothing, oh, never to see him again, never—the man could go no farther. “Tell me, please, please tell me, Bobbie piteously pleaded. Then with a look at his father’s face, “Daddy, can't you tell Bobbie?” “No laddy-boy, no!” was forced from Mr. Harrington’s lips. “But you’ll be with me, won’t you?” 1 he man silently nodded although his heart cried out that it could not be. The little body in Mr. Harrington’s arm was trembling with an uncontrollable fear. 1 hen a light passed over the child’s face. His little hands softly stroked his father’s hair. “Daddy, don’t be mad with me but—but maybe that nice man you didn’t like could tell me. He said I could play with the boys on his team this spring if—the child’s features which had lighted with a boyish smile, darkened as a paroxysm of pain swept over his body. “Oh, it hurts,” he sobbed, “Oh, Daddy, Daddy, come with me. I’m so scared!” The man scarcely heard the last words of the boy. “That nice man”—that canting hypocrite! A priest! What did he call himself? Oh, yes. Father O’Malley. Irish, at that, well that was to be expected. Bobbie had met him accidently. What tricks fate plays upon us! Now Bobbie wanted him, wanted him, when his father was powerless to help him. Priests! How he hated them! Yet, did he? To-day there was so much love and sorrow in his heart there was hardly room for hate. “Daddy, please! He’d tell me! I know he would! He was telling the boys once and I listened but I’ve most forgotten what he said now,” and the child began to sob. “Don’t, Bobbie, don’t! Daddy’ll get him for you. Yes, if he has to move heaven and earth to do it. “Of course you’re not afraid to go to Him, Bobbie, for He loves you so. He came on earth, lived, and died for you, and is in Heaven now with His Blessed Mother waiting for you to come to Him.” Dimly these words fell on Mr. Harrington’s ears. Vaguely he knew that the kind priest was sitting beside the tiny bed, holding Bobbie’s hand in his own. A peaceful smile was now on Bobbie’s lips, and a wondering look in his eyes. Hardly realizing what he was doing he gave permission for his son, yes, the son of an atheist, to be baptized. What was happening? He did not know except that Bobbie was no longer afraid. For a long time there was a deep silence in the room and then a weak voice called: “Daddy, come here, please. Oh, Daddy, I’ve—been—asleep—I guess, and—I saw—it all! He, Our Lord, you know. Daddy, smiled when He saw me, and—a— beautiful Lady—all in—blue. She smiled, too, and—come closer—Daddy, He—said that He wanted you, too. Not right away up There,” and the voice trembled, “but here. Oh, He loves—you, too. He told—me so.” A strange look was upon the man’s face. What did it mean? What could it mean? Oh, yes, there was a God, he knew that now, but— The child’s voice went on, so weak now, that he had to lean over the frail body to catch the words. “And you’ll come—some day. Daddy, I know—for I’ll be there—waiting—waiting—for you.” Lenora M. Owen. Page Tlurt )-cight The Xavier A Tasteful Tale PERHAPS some of you have heard how, many a long, long year ago, the old Nantucket skippers had discovered a plan to find out their bearings. Sailing from that blessed, peaceful isle to the roaring, thriving town of New York, they would be able, even on the most stormy and gale-tossed nights, to find out their exact position. No, ’twas not by longitude or latitude as some of you might think, nor by judging from the stars, for remember that not always do these heavenly dwellers fare forth at night with their luminous lanterns. But ’twas—oh, you'd never imagine in the wide world—because they tested their bearings by tasting. Tasting, do I hear you say? Yes, tasting. I he secret of their success was just that. How? That’s easy. They took a very heavy piece of lead, greased it well, then dropped it overboard. They let it drag for a while, then pulled it up. By the taste of the sand, which was well stuck on, they could judge on just what part of the Sound they were sailing. One of the oldest of these marvelous skippers was a one-time, hale and hearty seafarer, one Captain Gray by name. Although his sight was now failing and his hearing was poor, and his limbs were “going back on him,” there was one sense on which he could always rely, his taste. Never in the history of Nantucket had this detecting faculty ever failed him. But there was one who was inclined to doubt his erstwhile ability, and that was Jonathan Warren, a newcomer to the seafaring trade and a very skeptical one. Trusting in that world-known slogan “seeing is believing.” he resolved to put the old skipper to a critical test. The next time Jonathan was on watch he thought it was an excellent opportunity to prove his doubts. It was a clear, moonlight night. All had retired except the solitary watch. Taking the well-greased lead, he rubbed it into one of the numerous boxes of produce that were being taken to a ready market in New York. 1 his happened to be a bed of parsnips. Then he went below and awoke the Captain. Offering him the lead he asked, Where are we now. Sir?” T he skipper only half awake, yawned, put out his tongue and tasted the lead. What sudden calamity was this that roused him to such wondrous haste? He thrust on his boots and roared to Jont.lhan,: “Don’t stand there like a stick. Move. For don’t you know that Nantucket’s sunk and we’re right over old Mrs. Crowley’s garden ?” Marguerite H. Teubert. Page Thirty-nine The Xavier Yvonne’s Happiness EIGH I fifty-five was the time registered on the face of the massive clock gazing down upon the garment department of The City Clothing Company. Systematic hurrying was prevalent everywhere as salesladies sorted and arranged goods, messengers hurried on various errands, and cashiers prepared their desks for the routine of the day. “Oh, dear, just another long day ahead,” was the comment of Yvonne Murray, as she nonchalantly stamped the checks. “Why, it's such a wonderful day, Yvonne, it just makes one’s blood tingle with joy. Oh. isn’t it great to be alive!” exclaimed a fellow-worker. “Well, it is a nice day,” repeated Yvonne in that same lifeless tone that ever characterized this girl, who was probably the strangest mixture of human nature that ever toiled in 1 he City Clothing Company. To begin with, her name was unusual; but its bearer seemingly had no contact with either of the two great lands it represented. Indeed her father had come from Ireland only two score years ago and her mother’s family had once left the shores of France for America; but Yvonne had lost all the precious heritage of her parents, including their holy Faith. Upon the death of her mother, she had left school and obtained employment in the store. As the morning advanced, business poured into the garment department; but between snatches, Yvonne found a few moments to chat with her dearest friend and coworker, Margaret Gray. “Did you ever see such selfish people, Margaret?” exclaimed Yvonne. What makes you say that, Yvonne?” questioned the merry, happy Margaret. “Oh, it’s easy to see that everyone who comes into this department is so obsorbed in her own affairs that she doesn’t care how much she inconveniences others. Just look at poor Miss Mitchell who’s been trying to satisfy that customer for the last half hour.” “Although they seem heartless, they really aren’t. I hat woman looks like a dear old soul who is buying something for some good friend.” “Humph! I’m still skeptical.” “You're still what?” “Skeptical. I’m doubtful when I see so many struggling for their own welfare whether there are any real generous souls who think of others.” “Oh, don’t be so pessimistic, Yvonne. By the way, aren’t you sorry you didn’t continue in school? Just think! That marvelous vocabulary of yours would be rapidly increasing and some day you might have found yourself in a high position.” “Yes, I am. But how could I? Little Dan is so brilliant in school and he would be unable to continue if I did not work. Things would have been different if mother had lived,” and soft tears filled Yvonne’s grey eyes. Margaret tenderly placed a caressing arm on her friend's shoulder and had time for only a few words when stern business intervened. On this particular day, however, Yvonne seemed to be in some strange need of companionship and at the first opportunity, she was again at Margaret’s side. The latter Page Fort]) The Xavier young lady, gaily humming a lilting tune, noticed too, the unusual seriousness in Yvonne’s face “What now?” she questioned. “Oh, I’m still probing the depths of philosophy. What makes you so happy. Margaret?” The first effect of this startling question was a merry laugh; the second, a puzzled expression. “Why shouldn’t I be happy? It's a glorious day. I’m alive and well. I’m engaged in the entertaining business of salesmanship and in a few hours I’ll be home!” “Anything else?” interrupted Yvonne. “Yes, indeed, there’s”— “Yes,” softly said Yvonne, “I have often wondered if your religion did not help to make you so exceedingly happy.” “Oh, Yvonne, how did you know? If you could only experience its sweetness, I know that you wouldn’t feel so skeptical, as you call it,” and an almost wistful expression passed over Margaret’s face. Here all further conversation was ended as a customer demanded attention. The day wore on and just in the middle of the afternoon, Yvonne was aroused from a reverie upon seeing her dear father enter the department. With a queer gulp in her throat, she hastened to meet him as she scanned his ashen face. “Come, Yvonne, my darling,” said her father in a trembling voice, “Dan has been in an automobile accident and is hurt seriously.” With a short, piteous cry she and her father left the store hastily. On a little hospital cot lay Dan, Dan upon whom Yvonne had lavished every drop of her sisterly affection. How much he meant to the two who cared so much for him, his father and Yvonne! Weary days followed and then a period of convalescence strangely sweet, for how could a boy worry over legs which were exceedingly weak, when his eyes feasted on the most wondrous flowers he had ever seen, when his appetite was coaxed by the countless little dainties and choice fruits and, above all, when his evenings were spent in happy companionship with his father, Yvonne, Margaret, and his chums? One evening Margaret and Yvonne lingered later than usual and walking homeward, Yvonne suddenly became very pensive. “Margaret, do you remember when I used to wonder how little kindness there was in the world? But oh, since Dan’s been sick, everyone has been so kind to us. My whole attitude toward everything has changed and it has become so much richer and wider. When I think how the girls have made him so happy by such beautiful flowers and fruits, but most of all by their visits to him, I wonder that I ever thought anyone cold and selfish. And, oh, Margaret, the Sisters of whom you spoke visited Dan again today and I saw tears in Dad’s eyes as Dan told him about them. They were so kind and motherly, Margaret, and Dan can hardly wait for their visit tomorrow.” “What a speech, Yvonne! I knew the Sisters would help him and I’m sure he’ll be all better soon.” “Oh, isn’t it grand to be alive this happy night,” each whispered to the other as they parted. And with this dawning faith in God’s creatures, Yvonne’s world-weary heart soon The Xavier Page Forly-onc realized that true peace is found in the kingdom of one’s own soul, in childlike trust in Him Who guides the Universe, in Him Who “watcheth the falling sparrow and careth for the lily of the field.” Carmelita U. Waterman. THE GOOD SHEPHERD Across the hills the Shepherd comes. Searching from left to right. Trying to find the little sheep Who’d strayed away in the night. I horns wound His gentle, loving hands. Stones bruise His tender feet. But He goes right on and cries aloud In tones most wondrous sweet. “Where hidest thou. My little one? I’ve looked for thee all day; If thou dost hear Me calling thee. Oh, answer Me, I pray.” “The night is gently falling, dear. The wild beasts soon will roam; Oh, come to Me my little one. And let Me lead thee home.” The Shepherd lingers, turns His head. And suddenly. He hears A sob, a moan, so pitiful. His eyes grow dim with tears. The kindly Shepherd then bends low. He moves the thorns aside. Then gently lifts the trembling sheep. To heal the wounds so wide. 1 he sheep looks up in wonderment Into the Master’s face, And there beholding God-like love. Cries, “All my sins efface!” Katherine F. Reynolds. Page Forly-lwo The Xavier A Railway Experience j LIZABETH. hurry!’ my mother said, handing me my books. “It’s exactly H. twelve minutes of eight, and you know the train leaves in seven minutes! Hurry, will you?” “I can’t hurry a bit more,” I said, taking the books. “Good-bye, Mother. See you at five,” and with a hasty good-bye kiss I was gone. Only seven minutes to make that train. Seven minutes, and it was a good fifteen minutes walk to the station. Well, that meant I must run. If you have ever run with a load of books on your arm, you’ll appreciate what I suffered in the seven minutes that followed. However, I got the train, and sat down in one of the seats, decidedly out of breath. I whispered a little prayer to my guardian angel for “holding” the train, and then began to enjoy the landscape. Even if one does see the same scenery each day, it is always interesting to watch the changes. I he grass was becoming greener, the water bluer, it seemed. How I longed for summer just then; summer—when one can fully enjoy nature. Visions of picnics, swimming parties, tennis games, passed through my mind. Suddenly I awoke from my reverie. I must take out my pass for the conductor. Let me explain that a pass, dear reader, is a very valuable, yet sometimes a very troublesome possession. One must use his own pass, only. I here is a severe ppenalty for using a friend’s, the company might even deprive one of the treasure if he were discovered. This is what I opened my pocket-book to find, but—consternation seized me—it wasn’t there! In my hurry I had neglected to put it in my purse. What would happen? How could I tell the conductor I had forgotten it? What reason would he have to believe me? I looked again. No, it wasn’t there. I looked through all my books. Not there, either. What would I say? He might put me off at the next stop? Visions of the English Quiz, the sixty lines in Latin, a French verb drill and an original in Geometry filled my brain. If I missed these it meant double homework. Meanwhile the conductor was slowly wending his way up the aisle, collecting the tickets on either side. I had never seen him before and felt quite as sure he had never seen me. If he had only been one who knew me, there might have been some hope—! Well, he was coming and I’d have to tell him the truth. “I’ve forgotten my pass,” I said, expecting the worst. “Oh, yes,” he said, looking at me for a moment. “You work for the company.’ I attempted to deny the statement. “No,” I said, pointing to my books. “I—” He apparently had not heard me. “What is your name?” he asked. I told him. Mr. Brady, the manager of our office is in the second car. Come with me. He will identify you. Again I attempted to explain that I did not know Mr. Brady, and neither did I work in the office of the railroad company. But it wpas useless, he hadn’t heard me at all. “Come,” he said; and I, certain of the worst, yet hoping for the best, followed him. In the second car I met Mr. Brady for the first time. The introduction, however, could hardly be called formal. The Xavier Page Forty-three “ 1 his young lady has forgotten her pass. She works in your office, she says, and in order that she may go through to the city, you must confirm her statement.” I knew it was useless to protest, so I kept still this time. I he worst they could do would be to pul me off. I consoled myself with this thought. I he man looked up from his paper. “Her name?” he asked. I told him my name. It’s all right,” he nodded to the conductor. “She’s telling the truth.” I gasped. 1 he conductor, evidently satisfied, walked away. Why, Mr. Brady, I began. “Don’t you know that I don’t work in your office? I go to school.” “Oh, do you? was his reply. Well, you see, I could hardly be expected to know who works in Mr. Brady’s office. I am only a friend of his—riding on his pass!” And let me add—I passed the English Quiz, translated thirty from sixty lines of Latin, received 100 per cent in the French verb drill, and solved the original in Geometry.

Veo a ese joven noble de Dios, Con riqueza y capacidades raras, Deja casa para paises extranjeros, Y por su Dios osar todas cosas. Veo muchas esterilas costas, Desde India hasta Japon distante, Cuyos nativos congregan en turbas, Escuchar a ese apostol grande. Veo al santo con corazon flamante, A1 umbral de la puerta del China, j Pero ah! sus ojos son lerdos cn muerte, Su vida terrena es acabada. Nuestra escuela asi cara, veo, Donde al santo cada una pide, Abrace dentro su corazon benigno Los muros de amada “S. X. A.” Carmelita U. Waterman.

C’est a propos de la guerre des Anglais. L% officier: I oi! Une femme si jeune! Parler de la guerre! Viens! Ce sera une bonne farce Pour la cour et pour tous les courtisans. ( Is Entrcnt) Jeanne a elle-mcme: Que le ciel me benisse et m’assiste Je sais que le roi n’est pas celui qui S’assied sur le trone habille comme un noble. C’est un piege pour savior si je parle la verite. L officier: Voici Sa Majeste! Jeanne: Non, ce n’est pas le roi que je cherche, (Marchant vers un certain petit groupe) O Majeste! Le ciel m’envoye a vous Pour sauver les francais de cette cruelle guerre. Donnez-moi des armees et des ressources Et avec 1’aide de Dieu Las francais seront victorieux. Le roi: Comment saurons nous que vous dites la verite? Et que penseront les Anglais de nous? Ils croiront que nous n’avons pas de Generaux assez courageux pour combattre; Que nous les deshonorons en Mettant une bergere a leur place. Non, cela ne se peut pas! The Xavier Page Forty-five Jeanne: Mais rejetterez-vous la grace de Dieu? Serez-vous responsible de la destruction De votre plus beau et plus riche royaume? La mort de votre cour et de tous vos suiets? Je suis venue par ('inspiration d’une sainte Que vous reverez; la bonne Sainte Catherine Qui m’a dit: “Jeanne, va delivrer la France.

Jeanne: Le Seigneur vous recompenses II benira le travail de vos braves; Animera les soldats d'un nouvel espoir II couronnera toutes choses, En vous couronnant roi de notre chere France. Le roi: Qu’ll soit fait selon ton desir J’irai meme avec toi au champ de bataille. Jeanne: Cela ne sera pas meme necessaire Puisque le Roi des rois me conduit. Je reviendrai bientot victorieuse. Et quand Jeanne recontra l’ennemi sur Les champs pres de Patay Elle remporta la victoire la plus brillante.

The fun I made, the pranks I played From Sister’s mind will never fade. What joys I had! And, oh, such ways! In looking back, I love to gaze In secret places, where I flew To hide, yet had my deeds to rue. Reproofs, yes many, reached my ears And caused in me such shivering fears! But, heedless girl, I soon forgot And minded timely heedings not. Yet, did I wilful disobey? Ah! no, I scorn to think that way. My love for teachers, daily grew For they are guides and leaders true. Ah! would these days were those of yore. But could I love them one bit more? Elizabeth J. Giblin. AN ALUMNA’S REVERIE In mem’ry I see a treasure rare. That is heaven on earth to me. It is thou S. X.

When I’m alone, I sit and dream Of days spent close to thee. And in my dreams once more I seem To wander back to thee. Dear Alma Mater, be my guide. Though we are far apart.

Teubert THE STORY, “GRATITUDE,” TRANSCRIBED It was spring and the bright, wide-awake sun peeping in between the blue and white dimity curtains of the large, airy, modern kitchen rested—first here, on the spotless linoleum—then there, on the shiny kitchen range—and lastly, on the china cloest, where the polished glasses winked back a saucy good-morning to their early visitor. Mrs. Graham, bustling busily back and forth, humming all the while to her cheery self, said: My goodness. Grandma darling, I am so happy this morning.” “Faith, now, and why shouldn’t you be,” answered that worthy person, “when ’tis such an important day? Why, just think, Kathleen,—God bless her sunny little head!—is really two years old today.” And her eyes rested lovingly on the big birthday cake which completely dwarfed the two small candles set jauntily on the top. “By the way, where is baby?” said Mrs. Graham. Grandma laid down her knitting and went to search for her. “Come now, Kathleen darling,” she called, “Grandma’s got something pretty to show you.” No “Es Dandma, Tse toming,” responded to her call. “Kathleen, Kathleen, where are you?” now joined in Mrs. Graham. But still the terrifying silence alone echoed her words. They searched high and low, in every nook and corner, all through the house and far out into the garden, but no sign of baby anywhere. No sound of her merry prattle, no gleam of her sunny hair, no patter of her tiny footsteps, but just the ominous silence which even the insects did not break,—waiting, waiting for the response that never came. Lost! Is my baby lost?” said Mrs. Graham. Then she happened to think of the old well in the orchard where the cows used to drink. “Oh, Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of little Jesus, watch over my little babe for me,” she prayed, and her face grew pallid with fear. Where’s Rover?” said Grandma, “I know he’ll find her for us. Rover! Rover!” But they called in vain. Now they hurried on to the orchard and there was Kathleen leaning in perfect fearlessness over the moss-grown edge of the well, while Rover, faithful Rover, lay nearby with the hem of her dress between his teeth. She was stretching her little arms downward kicking all the while at Rover, who wagged his tail and heeded not the rain of blows. Greeting the frightened searchers, naughty Kathleen, said: “Oh, moder, here’s a little girl wite down dere in the water and she’s dust as big as me, an’ I want to help her out and bring her home to my party, but Rover, he won’t ’et me, and I don’t love him any more—Go 'way, you naughty Rover!” But mother said, holding her close to her breast: “You mustn’t say that to Rover. He saved your life, dear. Now love Rover.” But Kathleen struck him. Mrs. Graham looked aghast, but Grandma understood. She said, “It’s hard to thank the friend who thwarts us for our good.” Marguerite H. Teubert. Page Fifty-eight The Xavier Chronicle Sept. 13. Ominous 13th.” What say we. Seniors?

On this day we honor Our Blessed Mother under the title she loves so well. Our Lady of Mercy: “All Nations devoutly Bow down at that name.” Hallowe'en Party, October 29 If there is ever a time for hilarity, surely it is Hallowe’en. The Seniors realized 'his in planning the annual party. It was held in the school hall which was decorated in such queer creepy fashion as to inspire fear in the bravest of feminine hearts. A typical Hallowe’en program was enjoyed by all. The first prize was captured by Elsie Marcaccio, the second by Marguerite Teubert, and the third by Lenora Owen. To say the least, it was a most pleasant enjoyable evening. Senior Sale. December 10-11 The first great achievement of the class of ’27 was the Annual Sale. No time, labor, money, or good will was spared to make our sale the best ever. And were we rewarded? Oh, History has it! The proceeds of this sale went toward the funds for the new school. All the undergraduates showed their loyalty by attending and working to make this affair a success. The Xavier Page Sixty-one Yulelidc Creelings Harl(, the herald angels sing Glory to the ncn born King.” What words could better express the feelings which spring up in every Christian’s heart on the blessed Charistmas Day! To express our love for this season, tableaux, solos, readings, and other attractions were presented. Retreat. January 27-29 The education of Catholic young women consists of more than the mere development of the intellect. It demands a foundation that will stand the test of our materialistic age. This is why our good teachers have planned for us three days of retreat. During retreat we enter into ourselves and, with new strength from above, gather our forces for the future. It will be long before we can forget the sound principles Rev. Father Cyril gave us during our three days’ retreat. Senior Dance, January 29 Can it be that the subject of our dreams for four long years has been realized? Yes, our Debut Dance has come and gone,—gone. Oh, no, for it shall live in our memory forever.. We should like to tell Mrs. Gilmore what a wonderful event it was for the Seniors and how grateful we are to her for making it all possible. IVashington’s Birthday, February 22 On February 21 st the individual talent of the class of ’2 7 was shown in the program in honor of Washington, which was successfully displayed. “The Man Without a Country’’ was very emotional, for it drew' tears from the coldest hearts. The closing feature of the program was most beautiful, the tableaux of the “Immaculate Conception,” Our Country’s Patroness. Lecture—Dr. Anna Dengcl Dr. Anna Dengel gave a very impressive lecture on the need of Women Doctors for the Medical Missions. She spoke on the peculiarities of the Hindus and the followers of Mohammed, and she gave a demonstration of the natives by donning the costume of each. Rev. Daivson Byrne in Characterizations Our school was the recipient of a great favor on March 16 when Father D. Byrne gave several splendid dramatizations. He impersonated known characters from Dickens and Shakespeare. Father Byrne does not use his talent for his own benefit and satisfaction. He is Page Sixty-ttvo The Xavier directing it to the Honor and Glory of God. 1 he funds he receives for his work are given to further the great cause of the missions. Mrs. O'Neil’s Lenten Program The Seniors felt honored in preparing a play especially for the Sisters. This was The Gift,” a very beautiful miracle play, which Mrs. O'Neil spared no trouble in staging. The Sisters pronounced is so creditable, that the cast expects to reproduce it. 7 he other pages of our book May speak of pleasures we forsook; But let this section truly say. They mingle mirth at S. X. A. Sarah C. Flynn Regina M. McPeak Class President’s Message The day of parting is at hand, dear classmates, and varied indeed are the paths that lie before us. I know I am echoing the message of seventy-nine loving hearts when I say that no matter how fortune may favor us, our thoughts will always hover about our Alma Mater with love and devotion. Love for the priceless ideals which she embodies, and devotion to the standards which she has set up for our imitation To our dear teachers any words of appreciation would truly sound inadequate, and so we feel we have said all when we fondly say, “We love You.” We do not bid you farewell, dear Alma Mater, for, although we leave your hallowed walls, we shall often return as members of the Alumnae to carry out our pledge of love and devotion, and in neither of these qualities does forgetfulness reside.

Smith. Page Seventy-four The Xavier A Literary Ramble Through S. X. A. AS I was strolling along the beach one day, I met The Merchant of Venice,” and as we were both going to “The House of the Seven Gables” we continued our walk together. He related all about his adventures on “Treasure Island,” when he had been “Kidnapped.” I told him that I had just returned from the “Deserted Village,” where the “Vision of Sir Launfal” had appeared. I also told him that I read “Gray’s Elegy in the Country Churchyard,” while I was there and that I went boating with “1 he Lady of the Lake,” who wore The Necklace” which was “Found in the Redwoods.” The Lady of the Lake” introduced me to “7 he Last of the Mohicans. 7 he Merchant” asked me if I had heard the ”7 ale of Two Cities” and, as I had not, he told it to me in a very interesting manner. At that moment we saw “The Hound of Heaven” on the other side of the water, and concluded that it was time for us to hasten our steps. As we were hurrying along, who should come up but “Silas Mar-ner” carrying in his hand a copy of ”7 he Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.” We wanted to stay and talk with “Silas” but we had to continue on our journey to look for “Sohrab and Rustum” who were writing the “Sir Roger De Coverly Papers” for “King Henry the Fifth.” In travelling we were caught in “The Tempest,” of which I put an account in “The Sketch Book. We had for companions, during that time, Quentin Durward,” “Ivanhoe” and “Lord Clive.” “The Merchant then asked me if I know who was butler at “The House of the Seven Gables” and as I replied in the negative he told me it was “The Ancient Mariner who had been hired by “Rip Van Winkle.” My curiosity was aroused and I wondered just what kind of man this new butler was. So when we got to the “House” I looked at him closely. His stern face reminded me of The Great Stone Face,” and I laughed softly. He raised his eyebrows and looked at me in a grieved way, rather disappointed I thought, and I remarked to the “Merchant” that “Julius Caesar” must have looked that same way when he found out the real Brutus. “The Merchant” hurried me inside. “The Understanding Heart” which he had, was quick to notice that the butler had resented my attitude I wheeled around and told him that I had enough “Self Reliance and Manners” to conduct myself in public, but he laughed and said: “Well, As You Like It,” and his evident good humor made me forget the incident. On our way out he whispered to me something “On the Certain Condescension of Foreigners” and I took the hint and bowed deeply to the butler. We hurried to the library as I wanted to look up a book on the “Old 7 estament Stories.” When we got there we met our old school friend “Macbeth.” He was engrossed in Milton’s popular story ”L’Allegro” and on the table beside him were also II Penseroso,” “Lycidas” and “Comus,” and it looked as if he were quite familiar with Milton’s works. I found the book I came for and took some notes down from “Selections of Browning’s Poems.” Calling “The Merchant” who had tried to get interested in the “Aeneid,” we both sauntered out. “The Merchant,” while walking toward his house, told me some interesting “ I ales of a Way Side Inn,” which was being built across the way. He seemed worried about it. The Xavier Page Sevenl )-fivc the more so when he remembered “The Fall of the House of Usher. At that minute along came “Hamlet” an old family friend. “The Merchant” invited us into his house and as we were passing through the hall I noticed a very rare and expensive copy of “ I he Idylls of the King. While the three of us were sitting before the fire place, the door bell rang and Wordsworth” came in. He told us that he was writing The Life of Johnson,” and we told him that he might get some ideas from Carlyle’s “Essay On Burns.” After a few more moments we left “The Merchant,” and I went home to read “Shakespeare Once More.” Ellen L. Knox. A FRIEND Is there really, truly, someone. Who cares more for you than gold. Who’ll forgive, yes, and forget, too. The times that you were cold. Because it’s you? M. Veronica Degnan.

The Xavier Page Seventy-seven Si Alumnae Notes New President The 1926 September meeting found the Alumnae Association under new leadership, the honor of president having come to the loyal, devoted Alumna, Mrs. S. E. Gilmore. With two daughters in the Alumnae and a third attending the Academy, does it not seem as though the presidency, in some measure, is Mrs. Gilmore’s by more than double right ? Meetings Under the new President’s loving and able guidance, the Association has continued its excellent work of former years, and the year about to close has been a very prosperous and eventful one. Such celebrities as the Reverend William Tally, Colonel Anthony Dyer, Reverend Dawson Byrne and the Honorable George J. West, speakers at the various meetings, express without further comment the high standard—religious, literary, artistic—of the quarterly meetings. The New Academy The Alumnae has focussed all its energy this year on a Loyalty Fund for the new school. 1 he first step towards the work was an Alumnae Booth at the Academy Sale. Since then, pledge cards have been issued, asking each Alumna to contribute the sum of one hundred dollars. The response of loyalty is most gratifying, the Committee reports. The Great Summons “1 he Xavier” offers sincere sympathy and prayers to all Alumnae Members whose hearts were saddened by the Reaper’s visit during the past year. Greetings Welcome, dear little ones, who have come to gladden the homes of our Alumnae Members. And congratulations, dear Alumnae Sisters, on the arrival of those “living flowers.” Page Seventy-eight The Xavier The Nuptial Blessing “The Xavier” offers loving congratulations to all who have received the Nuptial Blessing of Holy Mother Church, as well as to those who are seriously considering this responsible undertaking. In the Service of the King To those who have been chosen for the “better part, I he Xavier offers sincere congratulations, holy envy, and fervent prayers for perseverance. Our Gratitude We, the Class of ’27, take this opportunity of telling our Big Sisters how eagerly we await the June meeting, which will initiate us into the Alumnae, and how very grateful we feel for the sincere interest they have taken in our poor efforts throughout the years. The I. F. C. A. Under the able leadership of the Governor, Mrs. Robert F. Jones, the State federation has been very successful. The four meetings held, one at each of the four federated Academies, served to bind the Alumnae Associations of Rhode Island into a union never experienced before. “In union there is strength,” so great good may be looked for from the Rhode Island Chapter of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae. Loretta R. McKenna, Mary M. Sheehan. A TRIBUTE TO OUR PARENTS God has showered many blessings Through the years, upon our way; But the greatest gift He’s tendered Is Our Parents—all hearts say. Father, Mother, so devoted. From the cradle ’til today. What shall we do to repay them For the love they’ve shown always? We shall cherish, love, obey them; Thank God for them through the hours; Try to prove that we are worthy Of the gift Divine Love Showers. Christina M. McCarthy. The Xavier Page Seventy-nine EDITORIALS OUR NEW SCHOOL Saint Xavier’s Academy was first opened in October. 1851. by the Sisters of Mercy —a little band of five. The Sisters, working only for the Glory of God, never once thought of a reward of their efforts. The reward, however, was gratifying, for the attendance at Saint Xavier’s soon increased greatly. And now in the diamond jubilee year of its existence, the present edifice has proved inadequate and the over-crowded attendance has necessitated the building of a new Saint Xavier’s Academy. 1 he new school, equipped with a large auditorium, gymnasium, laboratory, cafeteria and spacious classrooms, will offer advantages which could not be had in the present building because of the over-crowded condition. We, the class of '27, although not able to enjoy the advantages of the new school, rejoice with the undergraduates who will benefit by them. We, however, are happy to be the first class that has contributed to the building fund. Our parting wish is that New Saint Xavier s will always be what Old Saint Xavier’s always has been—a true exponent of Catholic Education. Mary A. Ryan. IN MEMORIAM With mingled feelings of sadness and of gladness, we insert this memorial message in our ear Book. We regret deeply that one so intellectual and so cultured, as was Miss Dodge, has gone from our midst; but we rejoice that the article we reprint from the Providence Journal of April 4th, 1927, pays so worthy a tribute to her who, for forty-two years, gave of her best to Saint Xavier’s. The article follows: Tribute to Miss S. A. Dodge To the Editor of the Sunday Journal: A special tribute should be paid the old guard as it passes. When Miss Susan A. Dodge of 24 George Street died from a fall at her home m Providence, educational cir- Page Eighty The Xavier cles lost one of the last members of the old school of distinguished thought and service. Nowadays we breed few women as scholarly, as gifted, and as advanced for their times. Miss Dodge was 83 years old, but surprisingly alert and young for her years. She was a graduate of Cotting Academy and attended Harvard College, where she was under Dr. Dudley Sargent. She was also the favorite pupil of the famous Shakespearean scholar, William Ross, and it was from him that she received her inspiration to devote her life to Shakespearan study. Miss Dodge became so interesting an authority on the poet and playwright that she was much in demand among women’s clubs, and gave classes to circles composed of the wives of professional men. She was also well known as a teacher of elocution and physical culture, an unusual study for women in those days. She taught these subjects at St. Xavier Academy and the Bayview Convent here in Providence. She was likewise a favorite at Brown University, preparing many of the men for college, tutoring them in the Avon bard and his works, and coaching the students in their plays. Miss Dodge was one of the charter members of the Rhode Island Women’s Club, in all of whose works she was very active. A truly rare and wonderful old lady, since she lived constantly among young people and successfully kept young with them, she is sincerely mourned and fondly remembered by a host of pupils and colleagues. Her splendid carriage, exquisite enunciation and amazing intellect were so unusual as to be remembered by all who ever beheld her. M. D. H. Boston, April 3. OUR CLASS MOTTO “Spes Nobis in Te, Domine,” our class motto, we have lovingly cherished. We, seventy-nine crusaders have reached our graduation day, because we daily said and felt “Our hope is in Thee, O’ Lord.” As our motto has brought us safely through our school career, so will it also bring us through our business career and lead us to the gates of happiness. May it be engraved in letters of gold on the hearts of all, and may it impress all with the truth that there is no real success in life for him who does not depend upon God, who does not feel in his heart, “Spes Nobis In 1 e, Domine.” Helen F. Corey. FRIARS MINOR CAPUCHINS Our city was greatly enriched both intellectually and spiritually by the arrival of a group of priests known as Friars Minor Capuchins. This band of five came to America from England during the latter part of last November, and through the kindness of our good Bishop they have made their home in Providence. Their extensive study and experience have fitted them for the great work that they are undertaking. Some of these priests are graduates of Oxford University and others have received their degrees from the Gregorian University of Rome. Heretofore, America has had the opportunity of welcoming to her shores, Italian, The Xavier Page Eighth-one Spanish and German priests of this Order, and now the advantage is also hers of having English Capuchins here to serve the English speaking population. Their chief work is giving missions, lectures and retreats for religious orders. But this does not involve their entire attention. They are planning to devote the summer months to higher education, that is to conducting summer courses for college graduates. During their few months stay in America, these priests have given missions in the Cathedral, Providence, and in Valley Falls, Boston, Troy, Saratoga and Montreal. They have lectured in some of our best colleges such as Yale and Wellesley. And in the midst of all these important engagements. Father Cyril was able to devote a few days to giving our annual retreat at the Academy. Louise V. Gambuto. SUFFERING MEXICO “The Country of Our Modern Martyrs!” I he present religious situation of Catholic Mexico will be spoken of years from now, as one of the darkest Ages of Catholic History. One might presume to say that the torture and sufferings of the Afflicted Mexican Catholics outrivals the treatment of the Christians during the reign of Nero. At least, the Mexican government has the knowledge of the Catholic Religion, while Nero did not understand it. The principal means we may use to help our suffering ones is prayer. Without prayer, nothing can be done. Therefore let us pray; let us pray with heart and soul that the Mexican Catholics may soon have the privilege of practicing Our Holy Religion without civil restraint. Elizabeth J. Giblin. THE CENTENARY OF THE DEATH OF BEETHOVEN 1827-1927 7 he cities of Bonn and Vienna claim the great distinction of being the home of the music master, Ludwig Van Beethoven. Bonn was the city of his birth and Vienna the place of his death, of his triumph, and now the scene of the commemoration of the centenary of his death, an observance due to the great genius of romantic and unique music. Thirteen countries, through their respective representatives, joined in the programs and concerts of Beethoven’s compositions. America was represented by Carl Engel, in charge of the Musical Department of the Library of Congress and by Oscar Sonneck of the Beethoven Association of New York. I his fact shows that America is blotting out the undeserved reputation of having interest in the aesthetic works of the men of the Old World. “The man that hath no music in himself. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.” Elsle C. Marcaccio. Page Eight])-t1vo The Xavier FAREWELL TO ALMA MATER A lifetime is not long enough, Eternity not time enough I o tell thee, Alma Mater, how we feel At parting from our School so dear. From Sisters, Classmates, so sincere. From all that Convent girlhood days reveal We love thee and we feign would say At our approaching parting day That though we leave, our hearts remain behind. We gave them to thee long ago. Oh, keep them, guard them, then we know That Heaven’s treasure surely we shall find. Farewell, a fond farewell to Thee! But, Alma Mater, we shall be Thy children—though the years may swiftly glide. Though sun may shine or shadows fall. We’ll hearken to thy loving call To rest within thy heart, with thee abide. Francis H. Desmond. ALMA MATER’S RESPONSE I would keep you with me always, Children, dear ones of my heart, I would crown you with all blessings, I would ne’er let you depart. Aye, but Mother love is human. So I pray for light divine; And the answer comes so clearly— “Just to mould, these hearts were thine. I have fashioned you and formed you. Children, dear ones of my heart; But the moulding days are ended. So I must let you depart. As I send you from my shelter To begin your work for heaven. Fervently I pray—God bless you.
