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

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.

THE XAVIER 23 Isabel Marie Moran 26 Academy Ave. Introducing Isabel, one of St. Xavier’s most popular girls, a real sport, an excellent student, and a true friend. Her execution and ability at the piano are well worthy of notice. Generosity is her distinctive mark. She intends to further her education and fit herself for a high school teacher. The “Best” is her watchword. Mary Faith Moran 147 Pond St., Pawtucket, R. . You may judge that just by glancing at her that Mary is a dainty, graceful little Miss com ing from Pawtucket; she has the distinction of being the youngest and most popular of the classical division. We find her always happy, good-natured, willing to help, and a true and loyal friend. She ranks high in all her studies, and dull indeed, would any period be without her ready response and merry laugh. Mary is loved by all her classmates and has their best wishes for her future success. Edythe L. Murphy 21 Lewis St. Here we must leave space for our “Ede.” An artist, indeed, is she. Her character sketches are always acceptable, and the reason for it, do not wonder! They are so collegiate. Edythe’s method of entertaining is most amusing. Many moments of sunshine has she made for us, and we know that wherever she intends to further her education her cheerful disposition will win her many new friends and successful issues. Helen Theresa O’Connor 40 Sheldon St. Hear the burst of laughter! See a crowd! Behold! Our vivacious Helen is the source of the commtion. As a gloom-chaser, she is a prodigy, she has so keen a sense of humor, such a sunny disposition, such an optimistic outlook. Helen is also musically inclined, and her hobby is singing. She surely entertains her friends during the luncheon period. The best wishes of the class are yours, Helen. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight
