Illlll iililiiiminMiliia 20 The Xavier MARIAN JANE GILMORE 78 Bluff Avenue Edgewood, R. I. How happy and care-free Marion always seems! From morning until night she beams with a pleasant countenance. Her outside activities are numerous but they do not interfere with her studies. Marian confirms the old adage, “The busiest person has the most time.” Or, “If you want something done, ask the busy person to do it for you.” She is generous, capable, and loyal. With such equipment, Marian is surely on the road to success. ELOISE ANN BURNS 631 South Main Street East Greenwich, R. I. We present, dear reader, one of the most popular girls of the class. “El” came to us three years ago from the “Metropolis of East Greenwich, situated in the heart of little ft y “Rhody.” During her career at St. Xavier’s, ) she has attained the reputation of being exceptionally witty as well as a perfect type of scholar. Being a good athlete also, it will not surprise us, next year when the radio informs us that Miss Eloise Burns is captain of the girl’s basketball team in her chosen school. ANNA ELIZABETH MAGUIRE 24 East George Street Providence, R. I. A gentle voice is one of the qualities of a lady, but while Anna is the possessor of that magic gift, her laugh and her ability to appreciate a joke are loudly known to the class. No study is difficult for this maiden, who believes in balancing her social calendar evenly, with her school program. However, merriment is one of her marked accomplishments. May Anna and Good Fortune ever be the best of friends. MARY CATHERINE MORAN 40 Abbott Street Providence, R. I. Quiet and demure are the adjectives that best describe our Mary. She came to us five years ago. but lost a year through illness. We were delighted to welcome her return and to find her well and strong enough to again take up her school work. Her time in S.X.A. has won the hearts of all her teachers and classmates. Mary is efficient in all her lessons and especially in phonography. May her future years be as successful as the years of her school life. Best of luck, Mary! iiiMiiiinmiiHHMi ............................................................ itwMitiiinimNiiiinra ......

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

The Xavier 21 HELEN REGINA SULLIVAN 1039 Douglas Avenue Providence, R. I. Does Helen like dancing? No! We know better. For when she and Catherine are together—Oh how they do step to the air of the music! Helen is of a jolly nature, full of frolic and fun. Kveryone around her is in a good humor. She is also a staunch, sympathetic. and lovable friend. In class, she is obedient and attentive. We are sure that we are going to hear an emphatic stress laid on the “r’s” when Helen recites. Helen’s wit and humor will be to her advantage in future time, when she cheers the many patients she will come in contact with. Yes. She intends to be a nurse. LILLIAN MARGUERITE GRENIER 38 Rosedale Street Providence, R. I. Let us introduce you to Miss Petite, “Our Lillian.” Polite in manner, charming in personality. and lovable in disposition are Lillian’s characteristics. Wherever Lil” is, there you find her two pals. Dot and Venita. This little Miss has for her motto: “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” We hope Lillian will stick to this motto all through life for her way has been truly the right way in her Alma Mater. MARY VERONICA BANAGHAN 297 Sayles Street Providence, R. I. Quiet and demure seemed our Mary, her first year at S.X.A., but now hail to our wit- ytiest chum. Mary’s favorite diversion is dancing, but lo! when it comes to study she is a regular “II Penseroso.” We wonder why. all day Wednesday, Mary is so excited and every Thursday morning comes in with so much to tell us.—Can we not guess?—Mary hopes to enter the business world. We are assured of her success. Best of luck, Mary. HELEN REGINA MAGUIRE 193 Point Street Providence, R. I. Some people admire Classical but Helen’s choice was S.X.A., proof positive when she left there in ’27, and increased the number of y stars in the Class of ’29. A cheerful disposition and a willing nature have made her a favorite. Her strong weakness is “Captain Veneno.” She is as entertaining as she is apt in her studies. Her ability is proven by ready response. Here’s hoping that all will appreciate you as much as we have in the two years of our acquaintance. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine
