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.

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.

The Xavier 16 ' prrripiaM jiniiurfrnfihilri MURIEL ESTELLE HOWARD 166 Washington Avenue Providence, R. I. As we know her: M eek and mild, U nusual child; R eal and sincere, I mmeasurably dear; E veryone decides L oyal she’ll be. What more can we say? HELEN FRANCES CRONAN 152 Grove Avenue East Providence, R. I. With the influx of Freshmen in 1925 came our Helen from the bis town across the Seekonk. She has gained many friends while at S.X.A., one being her inseparable, “Peg.” Her favorite studies are English and Latin. Helen has kept much of her future plans to herself, but wherever her wandering steps may take her, she has the wishes of her classmates following, hoping that life’s pathway may be replete with the proverbial, “Gather roses all the way.” MARY VIRGINIA CASHMAN 47 Lauristan Street Providence, R. I. Who is the tall and attractive figure standing over there? Why Mary, of course. Her eyes sparkle with mischief and fun, and her witty jokes has the class in tears (from laugh-ter). She husfles with much eagerness and f vim from one period to another. Mary, in her fun-loving nature does not forget her duty to her studies, and we all benefit by her appreciative ability in English. A sweet soprano voice, generously used for our enjoyment, will find its echo in our hearts throughout the years, and the niche made in our hearts for her is wide and deep. CATHERINE LOUISE MURPHY 23 Babcock Street Providence, R. I. Loving, pleasing, studious, is Catherine. She is ever ready to assist us in all our difficulties and for this she has gained for herself a d:ep niche in the hearts of her teachers ami classmates. Too, she is an apt student and her steady perseverance has crowned her record with high marks. We all envy her ready and intelligent answers on all occasions. To see Catherine without Agnes and Helen would cause great wonder in the senior class. Catherine seems very quiet and serious, but she enjoys fun and frolic; at the lunch period, her merry laughter echoes throughout the cafeteria. A few years hence will find Catherine presiding over a class, with rare success. line. Nineteen Hundred and 7 T»cnl))-ninc
