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 If radios ever go out of date, little Conimicut will have to look to Cecile for its musical entertainment.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

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

' 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.
