■ 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

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

Fhe Xavier 13 IflllltMIlMtflltlllM MARGARET ELLEN BARON 172 Julian Street Providence, R. I. Mount Pleasant! That’s where this blue-eyed star hails from. In advanced learning nothing is beyond her,—Einstein, Epstein— any of them. She has been the leading lady of our class for four years. “Peg” attracts A's” like a magnet. As for the languages “Peg’s” knowledge of Latin awes u.i. Latest statistics have it that “Peg’s” objective is to he a teacher, and we predict for her an assured success. While she is carving her niche in the “Hall of Fame,” we are with her and always will be, because in association she has carved in the heart of each of us a hit of a niche that can be tilled by no one else. HELEN SARAH CAHILL 261 Union Avenue Providence, R. I. We ;«ll have a worry and all have a care; Hui Helen thinks she has more than her share; Latin, we mournfully all confess Is her constant trial and great distress. In spite of this drawback we know she can smile. For cheerful we see her every once and awhile. In the role of a nurse she will enter quite soon; And we vouch in the hospital she’ll be a great boon. This little golden haired Miss has spent four happy years at S.X.A. She is witty, bright, and gay. A true friend and a faithful member of her class. Her winning smile is a great asset in our joy lin?s. MARY DOLORES McMAHON 3 Coveil Street Providence, R. I. Behold the star of the Commercial Department! Mary is one of the most popular and brilliant girls in the Academy. She is also “the” violinist in our school orchestra. Her cheery smile has won for h°r a place in the hearts of all who know her. Loyalty to our Academy has always been Mary’s part and she has proved this by her enthusiastic help in the interests of the Class and the school. A white cap and uniform seem to attract Mary. Some day we shall hear of her kind care of the sick. ANNA CLEMENTINA BRODERICK 31 Forest Avenue Valley Falls, R. I. Behold the class musician! Anna is our worthy representative in the orchestra, where her ability is greatly appreciated. Throughout the entire four years at S.X.A. she has endeared herself to the hearts of all her classmates. We shall not forget the “Petite Mademoiselle,” tripping into school every morning ten minutes late ! (that’s the train’s fault, of course). She will always be remembered for her loyal and generous spirit. Our paths must divide, but Anna will be close by to answer any “call from Alma Mater. “Bon Voyage” and good luck on the “sea of life,” Anna. ... ....—------- 1----1 imu—iiimn iiniiiiiiu—iiiminimiiii—MimiHHiiniiiiiiiiii June, Nineteen Hundred and Ttvenly-ninc
