16 THE XAVIER Helen Louise Crowley 22 Amy St. All hail to our wittiest member! Helen is one of the girls who likes a good time, and seems to get it. Dancing is her favorite diversion, but with wonder-eyed innocence she also enjoys more serious things. Her happy, carefree personality has endeared her both to classmates and to teachers. We hope that you have enjoyed your stay at S. X. A., Helen, as much as your classmates have enjoyed your society and friendship. Elizabeth Frances Cunningham 146 Fourth St. Mr. Business-Man, are you looking for a good, capable stenographer, a bookkeeper, or a private secretary? I)o you want a girl of honor, reliability, neatness, and general fitness? If so, Elizabeth will fill the role to perfection Her years at St. Xavier’s, spent in friendship and good fellowship, in study intermingled with social activities, have shown her to us for what she is, and we take pleasure in presenting her as one of the best that St. Xavier’s sends forth this year. Inez Kathleen Darby 19 Dover St. Our Inez! The main factor of the inseparable trio. We always find “Ine” bubbling over with joy, particularly at the luncheon period.

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.

THE XAVIER 17 Ethel Louise Devaney Conimicut, R. I. When speaking of poise, who does not think of Ethel? She is one of the many girls in the class who possess that much desired quality. Ethel is second lieutenant in the Girl Scouts of Warwick, Troup I. She received the eaglet from the organization some months ago, and she was selected as delegate to the Spring-field Convention last fall. One might think that, all this extra-curricula would interfere with her studies, but such is not the truth in Ethel’s case. Her reports show us this. Catherine Evarista Devine 84 Berkley St. Duties she will never shun, Ever ready for good fun; Very studious, so they say. Interesting, always gay; Nicest, sweetest girl we know. Everyone will tell you so. Take the first from every line, You will see they spell Devine. Margaret Anne Donohue 659 Chalkstone Ave. Is Margaret a good student? you ask. She’s a leader in her class. Is she capable, generous, exact? In the highest degree. Her personality? Her smile will answer that. A real lady? Cap-a-pie from “top to toe”; she cannot help but succeed. Dorothy Mary Duby 100 Vine St., Duby's C ove, Lalfervood, R. I. Dot has “IT”—LONG HAIR. And this is the envy of her friends who are just letting theirs grow. She is our energetic business manager, and her happy disposition and cheery words dispel gloom. Dot is a shining light, both in her studies and in the social life of the school. Her contralto voice has given us all much pleasure, and as a poet we owe her much. To see Dot without Kaye, or vice versa, would be a rare sight indeed. Dorothy intends to further her education and we are sure she will reach an enviable goal. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight
