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

Her favorite studies are Spanish and English. Madeline’s plans for the future are uncertain, but we are sure that she will succeed in whatever she may undertake. Helen Margaret Fitzsimmons 12 Atlas St. Without “Our Fitzie” the class of ’2X would have much to regret.
