20 THE XAVIER Mary Hope Harlow 256 Plainfield St. Mary’s worth was not lon in being discovered. Rare artistic ability combined with willingness to help could not remain concealed. Mary occupies a special place in the hearts of all her classmates. They will ever remember with love and with admiration the ability, the generosity, the affability of the artist of the class. Margaret Catherine Hinchey ) 17 Royal St. “Marge” represents the advertising department of “Fun Co.” She is so satisfactory that she is due for promotion. Her studies, however, do not suffer. In fact, she is a very conscientious student and rarely misses an assignment. So with Marge, pleasantry and study go hand in hand, and the result is an unusually happy combination. Alice Mildred Kleber 46 Sacl( S ., Lymansville, R. I. A scholar and a lady is Alice. And who ought to know better than we, her class, of which she has ever been a loyal member? “Al” is a good, all-round student. She so excels in Spanish that it is with great delight we sit and listen to her recitations. She has put Lymans-ville on the map, as it were, by her splendid attendance record since her Freshman days. Mildred Frances Langhorn 102 Mt. Pleasant Ave. “Mil” is the type who is thought quiet, until you know her. This is because she is an earnest and exemplary scholar, but studies do not prevent her from engaging in outside activities. Since she can adjust herself so well to all types of work, we are sure that she will succeed in whatever she may attempt in the future. 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

THE XAVIER 21 Helen Margaret Loughran 292 Smith St., Edgexvood. R. I. Here is a little Miss from Edgewood. Helen is a staunch friend and student. Her lovable disposition and manners have won for her the affection of teachers and classmates. Although Helen is one of our very quiet girls, she enjoys a good time. Mary Margaret Lyons 12 Marlborough Avc. What precious qualities we find in our Mary! Loyalty, strength, kindness and a host of others make up her description. As a student, her record is also one of the best, nothing but the best, especially in French. May “le bon Dieu” bless her and may she be enshrined in all hearts as she is in ours! Mary’s school record for culture, tells us that such must be her real self, for sweet manners cannot be put on and taken off as a garment. Susie Mary Malone 1 Wadsrvorth St. In this space, we, the Class of '28, wish to present “Sue,” our stately, titian-haired Senior. Sue is proficient in every thing she undertakes, but especially in Latin, which seems to come to her nautrally. Au revoir. Sue. May your whole life be one “Bon Voyage.” Eleanor Mary McCaffrey 22 Vassar Ave. Back in 1924, a little, black-haired Freshman poked a scared face into the lower hall of St. Xavier’s. But her expression of timidity was of short duration, for no sooner had she donned her green tie than she began to establish her reputation as one of the irrepressible fun-lovers of the class. In her second year, an appreciative class elected her Vice President. In her third, she distinguished herself for her “poetic” poetry. So here, at the final “parting of the ways,” the Class of ’28 proudly sends forth to the college world this combination of fun and learning, Eleanor McCaffrey—confident that she will bring, through her great ability, many more laurels to the feet of Alma Mater.
