' Ihis “petite demoiselle”stands R 1 ,n the esteem of both teach-ers an classmates because of her Qualities of nobility and loy-ai y' of marked ability is Helen, and we are often just a little mite jealous of how easily she rounds out her corners, languages and “math” are her torte. When the youngest of our class is in college-land, she will have left at S. X. A. a sweet forget-me-not. Ellen Gertrude Marley 717 Broad Street “To look on the bright side of life is to look on the right side. 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 rings true as a friend; she has an enviable disposition and a kind and pleasing personality; she is eyw ready to oblige and assist in Jail that is of interest in S. X. $. H r school and every one ipJit feel her deep earnest-nesJ'lnd they admire her for it. fnipfavorite study is Science, es-iwH'ally does she excel in Chemistry. We think she’d like to be a pharmacist some day. Mary Margaret McClurg 31 Cleveland Street, Pawtucket, R. I. “An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves. 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.

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

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
