14 The Xavier r.miwwiiHHHWMWnwwHHHWmrmnwmf nHumwiimiM—wtwummwmiii PAULINE LORETTA GORMLEV 77 Comstock Avenue Providence, R. I. “Pauline! “Pauline! and j ur little vice-president answers the call. How we all envy her “gym day when she is called upon to stand in the ring and demonstrate the lesson. Pauline likes her1 studies. Shorthand and typewriting are her favorites. Some day our Pauline will be a private secretary, so the class thinks. Good luck, Pauline. V GERTRUDE VERONICA REYNOLDS 88 Andem Street Providence, R. I. Hear Ye! Hear Ye! This is the well known senior, dainty and bright. Her witty sayings and comic remarks have been a source of entertainment to us constantly. We all are envious of “Gert in her rapid translation of ‘El Captain Veneno. The group known as “les quatre bonnes camarades, claim her as a member. “Gert goes forth with the blessing of Alma Mater to whom she will always be faithful. MARY ELIZABETH BESSE 271 Friendship Street Providence, R. I. Here’s to the historian of our class! Whenever any knotty history question pops up, up pops Mary too. to put it in its proper place. History is her favorite subject, yet it does not prevent her from displaying ability in all J others to the end that she is rightly regarded I as an all ’round student. Though dreamy and quiet at times, she leads in all our activities, especially in our lighter hours, where her wit and jokes burst forth to drive “old man worry back to his den. When Mary takes up higher branches of education we know that she will attain the success which we heartily wish her. LOUISE MARGARET DUNN 57 Beaufort Street Providence, R. I. Thanks, Elmhurst! you gave us two pleasant years when you lost to us your precious little “Lou. She came here a shy and quiet little Miss, but she’s leaving the most popular and beloved girl in the class of ’29. “Lou’s weakness is Chemistry; she likes French too. and she speaks it to our amazement. “Lou doesn't join in on that social hour after 2:30 because she is on duty bent. Burning the midnight oil never added a grey hair to this Titian-haired beauty, for readiness in answers to any question just comes natural. Au Revoir, “Lou. Here’s to your assured success at college.

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

The Xavier 15 ISABELLE MARY POWERS 1000 Broadway Pawtucket, R. I. Behold one of the aristocrats of the class! Isabelle is one of the few people who can enter a room without an interruption and still have her presence immediately felt. That’s a rare gift, you will admit. She is also a student in the full sense of the word. Vergil must enjoy having her pore over his wonderful “Aeneid.” But do not think that just because she’s a real student, she is dull. Not at all! Beneath the quiet, refined manner there’s an undercurrent of wit which delights those immediately acquainted with her. Charm of manner, gift of intellect, high standards of living all combine to make our Isabelle the “observed of all observers.” ELIZABETH MARIE BINGHAM 6 East Street Providence, R. I. A certain young “Miss” in our class of ’29 has the distinction of being loyal, studious, and fun-loving. She always has a laugh when it is needed, but in school, “she gives her thoughts no tongue out of tune.” She is undecided about next year but our best wishes will always follow her wherever she may go. CHARLOTTE JOSEPHINE HENEHEN 51 Magnolia Street Rumford, R. I. Charlotte is a charming, demure miss from Rumford. Although she is considered among the quiet type, you really find her fun-loving and jovial. She is an efficient student and stamped by her gentle manners as a good, loyal friend. We all wish her future success and happiness in the course she chooses in life. MARY MARGARET LYONS 269 Prairie Avenue Providence, R. I. Many would be the weary and dull days if Mary were not here. No matter what happens, Mary always has a cheery word to chase the “blues.” Her sparkling laughter and ready wit have gained for her much popularity and a host of friends, not only in her own class but with the whole school. Lunchtime music would lose much of its savor, if Maty did not accompany the player with her variety of selections. Nothing is too difficult for Mary to tackle, for in her Spanish and English recita-tations she is a wizard. Mary’s happy disposition will be a great asset to her when she enters college.
