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

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 ......

You may judge just by glancing at her that Elizabeth is a dainty, graceful, little Miss. The reputation of Cranston is her responsibility, as she arrives daily from that noted suburb. She never passes the Cathedral without stopping. To attempt to outline the char- , s acteristics and ability of Elizabeth would be U , an almost futile task. She possesses a pleasing personality and is also one of the brightest girls of her class. Though you may travel far in the realm of collegeland, Elizabeth you will always be with us as a rainbow of remembrance. GRACE WINIFRED BEIRNE 83 Roanoke Street Providence. R. I. Grace W!W, for witty, winsome, and wise. Her bubbling good nature is a: invariable r cure for the blues, which probably accounts I V for her numerous friends. Her forte is Espanol. and our Spanish class would be dull without her. We hope Grace will be as happy in her prospective school next year as she has been with us. MARY ANGELA GERHARD 375 Benefit Street Providence, R. I. A casual observer, certainly, would describe Angela as ‘‘Angelic. To know Angela is to love her. Her calm, serene manner, her lovable disposition and her enviable .g kindness make her loved by all. In ap- PyC pearance, she towers over her classmates, but r her dignity and gracefulness attract more than her height. She is a veritable wizard in French and is often the cause of widespread admiration in class because of the ease with which she masters foreign languages. She has been with us only two years, but during that time she has won her way into our hearts. MARY AGNES ELWOOD 60 Broad Street Providence. R. I. To be called a friend is, to my thinking, a great honor if it is based on confidence and truth. And Mary is my and our friend. To her teachers and to her classmates she has always been the embodiment of all that is ideal n in a student. She is one of the favored few who has charm plus intelligence. From Mary’s high standards, punctuality, and scholastic record we have the makings of a ‘‘Perfect Woman. To whatever Mary aspires, undoubtedly it will savor of her praiseworthy career at S.X.A. At your departure, Mary. St. Xavier’s will lose a precious jewel from its treasure chest. NMMMMMMttMillllllllMN IMHWlHltHHimimiHMW June, Nineteen Hundred and TTvenl )-nine
