18 THE XAVIER Madeline Benedicta Fenlon 21 Armstrong Ave. Loyal, generous, and cheerful—these are the characteristics of our Madeline. She is one of the most popular girls of our class. 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. Her untiring energy and never failing knowledge has often been displayed in her recitations in both French and Spanish. She is a true and loyal friend and a tireless worker for the welfare of S. X. A. She hopes to become a teacher, in which plan her teachers and classmates join in wishing full measure of success. Martina Margaret Fortin Main StEast Greenwich, R. I. Martina is one of the best all-round scholars in the class of ’2S. Every morning during the Spanish period, we watch for 9:20 till “Tina” walks in, ’way from East Greenwich. Then we settle down to work. The class is really not complete without her. Au Revoir, dear classmate, and the best of luck. Angeline Agnes Gambuto 74 West Clifford St. Ah! who is this with such a happy, yet responsible looking countenance? Why, none other than our Vice President, “Angie.” Angie’s views, as expressed on every topic known, are generally the accepted views of the class. No obstacle has proved too great for this enterprising young lady to surmount during her four happy years at S. X. A. She has attained a distinctive mark of excellence in all her subjects. To svm up. Angie is a capable leader, an unsurpassed student, a true and noble pal. Adios, Angie! June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight

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

the XAVIER 19 Rose Ann Gillen Cillen Avc.t North Providence, R. I. Little Rhodie! How we shall miss her! She is the life of the Chemistry class. She is also the pride of the Physical Culture class; although she is a bit shy when asked to dance. We have an idea that this gay young Miss hopes to be a teacher. She has not told us. but at least some members of a class of seventy-three should be able to prophesy. Mary Roberta Grimes 316 Eaton St. It is impossible for S. X. A. to forget this demure Miss. Mary has won many hearts during her four short years here, not only among her classmates but her teachers also. Although she appears sedate, she enjoys a good joke. We noted her enthusiasm for the prosperity of her Alma Mater when “Ads” were mentioned. Mary has attained enviable recognition in all her studies. Her future plan is yet unrevealed, but we are sure she will ac complish whatever she attempts. Elizabeth Mary Guillmette 261 Broad St. We cannot half say all we would about our “Betty.” She holds a perfect record for attendance and promptness. She is an apt pupil, a good friend, and her cheery disposition makes her a pleasant and enjoyable companion at all times. S. X. A. will be proud of her in the future years, we feel confident. Mary Louise Hall 240 Clove St. Behold one of the most popular girls in our Academy! “Lou” has many accomplishments. She has been our class secretary for four years, and also our capable pianist. She has set a pace for us in study. Her specialties are Latin and English. She has not only captivated the hearts of those within the folds of St. Xavier’s, but has also won many elsewhere. Lou plans to enter college in the fall. Judging apriori, Lou will climb to unsurpassed heights. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight
