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.

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

22 THE XAVIER Regina Rita McCormick 68 Dudley Ave., Conimicut, R. I. “Brown eyes should never be blue.” Gina certainly lives up to this, for who has ever seen “Gina” without a smile. She is one of the many who come from Conimicut, but though she lives at such a distance, she makes it her aim to be in on time every morning. “Gina” claims her favorite subject to be Spanish, but we all know that she excels in all her studies. Some day. we will hear of “Gina” as a dignified teacher, or as a private secretary to some high official. Catherine Rita McCann 182 Academy Ave. Catherine is one of th humorists of the class, and is professional in “chasing the blues away.” She has been a very faithful student during her high school career. In the four years we have known her, we have always found her a complete combination of loyalty and generosity. She intends to continue her studies at Rhode Island College of Education and no doubt will nobly uphold the name of S. X. A. Catherine will carry with her the good wishes of all her classmates. Anna May McPeak Grace Ave., Conimicut, R. . Those of us who have learned the sterling worth of Anna know that her future can hold nothing but success. No one need ever doubt this, for Anna is rarely seen wasting a moment which might be profitably spent. May your four years’ record at S. X. A. be but a prelude to a glorious future, Anna. Margaret Carmel McQuillan 26 Ml. Pleasant Ave. Enter “Peg”—exit gloom. This Miss from Mt. Pleasant has always been a favorite among us, for if bubbling laughter is heard, one can be sure that “Peg” is near. Besides being merry and happy she is very efficient in her studies. We wish her happiness and success in whatever she may undertake to do. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight
