She holds a high rank in all her studies and is noted as a 100% typist.

' 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.

Welcome in every clime as breath of flowers.” The little village of Stillwater should be proud to possess within its compass our talented Kathryn.

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.

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.

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!
