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

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

14 THE XAVIER Helen Marie Conway 132 Whit ford Avc. Quiet and demure are the adjectives that best describe Helen. She came to us from Classical two years ago. but during her stay at S. X. A. has won a host of friends. Helen is most ethcient in all her studies, especially French. May the years to come be marked by the same success her efforts have achieved during her school life here! Helen Mary Conway 65 Sumter St. Helen, who came to us in our third year, from Wallingford, Connecticut, is just a ray of sunshine in all our classes. She is ever ready with timely suggestions in all class activities, and has the sincere respect of classmates because of her high standing in scholar ship. Whatever profession Helen chooses to follow will be fortunate in possessing so worthy a disciple. Catherine Marie Cooney 9 Catalpa Road Catherine is loved and admired by all her classmates because she does not keep the alabaster box of love and tenderness sealed up until her friends are dead. She speaks approving, cheering and witty words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them. She also manifests this same spirit of good cheer towards her lessons and they seem to appreciate it, too, for they respond most kindly. Catherine is college-bent. We rejoice with the institution that is to be honored by her enrollment. Theresa Alice Cooney 1257 Cranston St. Who does not know our Tess! Sociable, courteous, studious, lovable. No better rriend could be desired. What is said of Socrates, we can apply to our Tess—“The gods sent him to help the Athenians and make them better men.” We sincerely hope that St. Elizabeth’s College will appreciate the treasure we are sending in the person of our beloved Tess.
