The Xavier OUR CLASS MOTTO Quocumquc Deus Nos Vocal Wherever Cod Calls Us A silence replaces the happy clatter That once echoed gaily through classroom and hall; For at graduation there comes the moment When we must hear and obey God’s call. When we must depart from our loved Saint Xavier’s And the tender care of our Sisters dear. To the path that He has chosen for us. Though it be long and hard and drear. Perhaps He will call us to His Convent Where prayer, and work, and joy abound; Perhaps to some other state of life Where happiness and pain are found. We ask His help—for we want His answer, The voice of the Lord is soft and low— Whatever He asks for, we shall give Him, Wherever God calls us, we shall go. Virginia M. Egan June, Nineteen Hundred and Trvent )-ninc

10 The Xavier “For all the blessings that have been ours, or that may be ours through your holy influence, dear Sister, we thank you; and we pray God ever to continue to grant you His loving care and His lavish gifts of heart and of mind that you may, throughout all future years, attract souls to His love and service. May we ask you to find in the prayers of our Spiritual Bouquet, as well as in the gold of our Material Bouquet, just a tiny tinge of the love, the joy, the gratitude, that fill the hearts of every one of your children on this, the Triumphant Day of your Golden Jubilee. M. Isabelle Porvcrs OUR NEW SCHOOL What greater sight could have greeted our eyes on returning from our few days’ vacation than this splendid edifice of St. Xavier’s Academy? Never was any assembly of girls more curious or eager to look on its walls than we. At last our dreams of our new school had come true. It is almost impossible to describe the beauty and convenience of our new Academy. The well-equipped gymnasium and auditorium allow ample room for student activities. The large, bright rooms give the students great comfort. The whole school consists of all that can be desired for an educational establishment. We hope our new school will bear as honorable a name as has the old building, and we hope that the present students will help to uphold its name as well as their predecessors have done. Helen F.

■ 12 The Xavier FRANCES ELIZABETH STEFFY 255 Washington Avenue Providence, R. I. Our President! Two magic words that typify all that Frances means to us She has fulfilled most adequately this honorable dignity that all seniors have aspired to. Frances’ capability to grasp the important things has saved the day more than once during her four years at St. Xavier’s. Her four years of association with us stand high in our estimation, and we feel confident both because of her scholastic ability and her genial personality, that big things await her. But this is not all. We love our president, we could go on revealing virtue after virtue without ever reaching the acme. Finally we join in wishing her a success equaled only to that which she has had during her past years at S. X. A. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine
