12 IHE XAVIER Mabel Maky Bradley 9 Arnold St. Twinkling eyes, a winning way—that’s Mabel. She is a sure cure for the blues, and has brightened many a dull hour by her merry wit. Her favorite studies are English and typewriting. We feel sure, however, that success will be hers in whatever she undertakes. May others treasure her as we have. Margaret Maky Bkannican 60 Broad Si. Next you meet Peggy, one of the quiet girls of the class, though in times of fun she does her share. Peg’s four years at S. X. A. have proved to us that “a friend in need is a friend indeed.” She enjoys all her studies, especially Latin. Whatever Peggy does after graduation, we know that she will always remember S. X. A., and her classmates. Helen Frances Burns 205 Camp St. A petite mademoiselle of the English division, a source of joy and fun to her classmates. Conjure up a smiling face and a pair of merry eyes, and you have Helen’s portrait. A carefree view of life and a generous spirit are her characteristics. Her studies by preference are Chemistry and Biology. May her future asso-siates treasure and love her as we do. Dorothy Anna Byron 94 Ruggles St. How could one do “Dot” justice in a line or two? Happy and gay, tender and sympathetic, energetic and studious—in a word, one of the treasures of '28. Dorothy ranks high in all heist udies, especially in English. We often marvel at her answers and interesting themes in the English class. We know that success awaits Dorothy, wherever she may go. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight

THE XAVIER Mary Josephine Baggott 70 Evergreen St. An interesting gathering, a burst of laughter. are the causes of the sudden appearance of our culprit, Mary; her cheery, sunny disposition is contagious. Her pet subjects are English and Religion; however, her other studies get their quota of attention. Nineteen Twenty-eight Class feels sure that happiness and good luck await her in her future career. Loretta Jeanne Barry 71 Olive St. Friendliness, a sense of humor, a pleasing pei sonality, combine to make Loretta one of the most interesting members of our class. Phonography and typewriting, everything in fact, is so easy for her that she finds many opportunities to help her classmates. “Au Revoir,” dear class mate, and may success be yours. We need not plead, “Please remembei us,” for you arc not the one to forget youi friends. Mildred Cecilia Bennett 2 6 Lexington Avc. Mildred’s ambition and perseverance will lead her to perform any task that she sets out to do, but she claims her favorite studies to be Latin and Christian Doctrine. We feel that she will always be true to her Alma Mater, for her record of four years prophesies deep love and sincere loyalty for the future. Mary Elizabeth Bolger 57 Comslocl( Ave. Do ladies prefer blondes, too? We do, at any rate, when Mary is in question. She is what we might call our inspiration, ever active and alive on all occasions. She possesses initiative force, and is a student of a high order. One of her outstanding qualities is hei generosity, which throughout her four years she has unselfishly displayed; no labor too much for St. Xavier’s, and she will, we are certain, increase her usefulness to Alma Mater, in the years to come.

the XAVIER 13 Catherine Theresa Cauley 90 Bourne Ave.. Rumford. R. I. in her own inimitable way, Catherine has gone through St. Xavier’s, making friends with students and teachers. She has achieved a high scholastic standing, and is considered one of the best poets in the class. She will attend college next year. Good luck, Catherine! Anna Mary Clancy 69 Freeborn Ave.t East Providence Anna comes every day from the “Metropolis” of East Providence. Although she lives so far away, she is never late, thus setting a good example to our younger classmates. A friend to all. an enemy to none. That describes her. She is one of our Chemistry experts—especially in the Lab—where you may find her any Tuesday afternoon trying to clean those test tubes that just won’t become clean! No wonder, after the solutions that have been mixed in them! In the future, we will not be surprised to see Miss Anna Clancy, B. S. Agnes Sarah Conaty 113 Stansbury St. Agnes is an all-round student .but shines best in History. We feel that she leaves a recipe of a loving disposition to future classes. Her ability as a student, combined with an unassuming gentility of manner and kindly attitude towards others, form a legacy which she bequeaths to all true and loyal students of St. Xavier’s. Elizabeth Mary Connaughton 82 Potters Ave. Laughter is the constant companion of this young Miss. No matter where Elizabeth is, one is sure to hear her bubbling laughter. Hut why do we place such stress upon the quality of character that brings about laughter? Just to be sure that the spirit of S. X. A. is thoroughly defined—happy, cheerful gaitey combined with serious, earnest study. Every girl who is thus equipped marches toward the goal of success. Elizabeth will reach the height! % June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight
