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.

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

THE XAVIER 15 Kathleen Rita Cox 124 Pidge St., Pawtucket, R. I. Kathleen Cox is blond and petite. Her contralto voice is very sweet. In shorthand, speed’s her middle name. At typing she has won great fame. May success be her’s in future life. Success not marred by grief or strife. Gertrude Helena Coyle 130 Fifth St. Gertrude is a girl of exquisite taste and unusual ability. The first is manifest in her appearance, the second in her studies. She is the possessor of so many enviable characteristics that she is a delightful girl to know, but a dif-ficul tone to write about in so small a space. She has the unusual quality of being calm when everyone else is excited. Never during her four years at Saint Xavier’s have we known her to become the least ruffled, or to utter a hasty or unkind word. Cannot our readers form a just estimate of her other qualities by the consideration of such poise? Helen Marie Crawford 204 Howell St. Helen is one of the humorists of the class of ’28. She may be found wherever there is fun going on. Nevertheless her wit does not interfere with her scholastic duties, for she may always be depended upon to have her subjects well prepared. Her sterling qualities, which have already won many friends for her, will, we are confident, gain hosts of others as she pursues her future work. Success and happiness to you, Helen! Catherine Helen Cronin 95 Grand View St. Our Catherine is a welcome comer in any group, for sunshine enters with her. She really is making the world a sweeter place to live in. Resides possessing this loveable disposition, she is also an efficient student—one of our best. If heaven had not pronounced it wrong, we should be envious of our beloved classmate.
