18 The Xavier .......................................................................................................... MMMMMMMmMIIMMHMMIIMUHnillMIIHMMIIIIIMm'Hill.MMMNW.. MARY DOROTHY SWEENEY 297 Highland Avenue Providence, R. I. “A friend is one before whom you may think aloud.” You may apply the significance of these words to our Mary. Her great executive ability has been ably displayed in everything she undertook to do during her four years at St. Xavier’s. We shall always remember her as the popular Miss with the charming personality. MARY ALICE McLAUGHLIN 18 Grosvenor Avenue Providence, R. I. Dark, grave and responsible, this is our Mary. But beneath this cloak which enshrouds her, there is a keen love of fun and sportsmanship. A descendant of a long, brilliant line, Mary most certainly does the family justice. When a freshman, she was obliged to take a two months’ leave of absence, but she returned to us only to be one of the leaders of her class in scholarship. We know that her voyage through life, administering to the sick will be appreciated. We wish you happiness. Mary! MABEL IRENE CURRAN 21 Armington Avenue Providence, R. I. “Multum in Parvo.” Take a peep! Look again! Oh. Yes! this is Mabel, Mt. Pleasant’s gift to S.X.A. High! Twice proud of the Celtic blood that flows through her veins! y We love our classmate. Her one regret in I life is that school does not consist of three periods. English, luncheon, and dismissal. Mabel Irene has heard the call of the faithful pioneer. Florence Nightingale, and we surmise she has responded with a generous heart. Au revoir, dear friend, and may your career be as noble as that of your famous predecessor. Good luck! MARGUERITE MARY HEALY East George Street Providence, R. I. Marguerite has the record of being the “latest” member of our class. Her charming “windblown” proves our words to be true. She is another one of those girls who do not believe that school should be taken too seriously. Her motto is: “School should be a pleasant earnestness.” She is one of our apt pupils in Shorthand. Good luck. Marguerite. une, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine

1 HE XAVIEK 17 MM MM MMMM MMH MARGARET HELENA TOWEY 58 Wealth Avenue Providence, R. I. Any afternoon after 2:30 one may see this rollicking Miss dashing madly (minus O’Sullivan’s) through the corridors of the old school, up the stairs, to the art studio. Why? Because she is one of the Rembrandt’s of our class and delights in spending her spare hours in an artistic atmosphere, and with the ‘‘master artist.” Any one who doubts “Peg’s” sense of humor needs but be present at any class, any day (for she gets at least one laugh out of every period). But wait—Margaret has a fault — (imagine printing faults) the blemish on her otherwise flawless character is that of missing the Academy Avenue car about one morning a week. On these mornings she bounces merrily into the class-room with a cheery “Good-morning Sister—my car was late” (not she—the car). CATHERINE FRANCES HANLEY 34 Zone Street Providence, R. I. Here she is, folks! surely you all know her. This is Catherine from Smith Hill, sometimes known as “Kay.” Catherine is a great favorite among us all. She has won for herself V a host of friends, and to us who know her as a friend, we have a true one. Catherine’s favorite study is shorthand. We all picture her in future days as somebody’s “stenog.” We know she will gain success wherever she goes. MARGARET ANNA NUGENT 2486 Pawtucket Ave. East Providence, R. I. “Peg, our representative of East Providence has graced our halls of learning for the past three years. Keenly alive to the joy of life, “Peg” adds much to the joy of being in S.X.A. Her wit and gaiety have been welcomed at those moments when the sorrows of time weighed upon us. We regret very much her departure, and the necessity to stay the development of a real friendship, but we assure her that the memory of her genial presence will always be with us. RUTH ELIZABETH DOLAN 734 Park Avenue Auburn, R. I. “Two cents, please, two cents!” What’s that I hear? Why it’s just the sweet voice of our Ruth “E,” the worthy collector of “Schoolmate” money. Ruth is one of the pleasantest girls in our class; always cheerful, always happy; responsive and loyal to all her classmates. She is a “star” at typing and phonography and a punctual representative from the important town of Auburn. These are some of the characteristic qualities that are found in Ruth. We feel sure that whatever kind of work she chooses in the future it will be successfully completed. June, Nineteen Hundred and Trvenly-nine

The Xavier 19 AGATHA BARBARA LAVALLEE 9 John St. Valley Falls, R. I. Of course, you all know this young lady Agatha, who journeys forth each morning from Valley Falls in a large locomotive. Her witty sayings and sunny smiles have been a source of cheerfulness to all her classmates. During her four years at S.X.A., she has gained both friends and knowledge. Agatha has a delight- ful voice and it is a pleasure to listen to her '— speak, when she is called upon at any time to do so. Dull would he the class without her ready response and merry laugh. Agatha has a hobby, that is to stay a few minutes after dismissal to converse with her very intimate friends and her inseparable friend Mildred. She intends to climb the ladder until she has reached the desired goal. MILDRED ELIZABETH HENNESSEY 76 Providence Street Providence, R. I Mildred is one of the attractive and popular members of the Class of ’29. Her fun-loving nature makes her extremely popular at S.X.A. She smiles, she dances, she talks brightly and entertainingly, she enjoys everything, whether y it is playing in the Gym. being a hostess, or helping Aeneas to arrive at his longed for destination. When you see her, you are aware that Agatha is tucked away in the background somewhere. In leaving the Alma Mater of her girlhood, she has imprinted a “something” in the hearts of her classmates which will never be dimmed. ELIZABETH MARTINA FEENEY 44 Wabun Avenue Providence, R. I. The Senior Year showed a slight change in “Betty.” Up to this year she was a demure little miss, but now she leads in fun and social activities, as well as in her studies. She is a friend to all. Betty possesses both exquisite taste and unusual ability. Her goal is Trinity. We are sure that she will be as popular there as she has been at Saint Xavier’s for four years. ELIZABETH BARBARA PITT 258 Williams Street Providence, R. I Let us introduce to you our quietest girl, Elizabeth. Really, one must look around to see if she is present; but when she is absent, how we do miss her. She has been with us since our green-tie days and we are sorry to lose her now a “dignified senior.” We are sure Elizabeth will tread the path “Success” in future years. ................................................................... irri..................................... limn June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine
