 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

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.

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. Page Fourteen The Xavier
