 Catherine Hortense Sutton 19 East Pierce Street, Greenwich, R. A true friend is a friend forever.” So wfc think of our “Miss Horty.” English and Spanish are her pet studies and we are certain that her future school will be honored to receive “Miss Horty” next fall. 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

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. G For the Gladness that she L—For her Laughter so sweet, A—For her Aptness and skill in the arts, D—For her Devotion to all those who know her, Y—For her Yes to every request, S—For her Smile so enchanting.

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.
