The Xavier 23 HELEN MARY SWEENEY 118 Providence Street Providence, R. I. Take one look! Petite and sweet, is she not? Yes, that’s Helen, a favorite with her teachers and her class-mates. What would we do without her witty sayings! She is an earnest student, too. Shorthand and English are her favorite studies. Inward charm and outward jollity have endeared her to the hearts of her classmates, and although she may travel far. she may rest assured that the Class of ’29 will always travel along with her in “Memory’s Lane.” ELIZABETH ANNA McNAMEE 249 Washington Avenue Providence, R. I. A pleasing type of school companion who has made a host of friends and admirers. If you chance to attend one of our school programs and hear a sweet, melodious voice you will know that it is our Elizabeth’s. She excels in Stenography and Christian Doctrine. Her witty remarks keep the girls in good spirits. Saint Xavier’s is proud of Elizabeth. We feel that she will always be true to her Alma Mater, for her record of four years prophesies deep love and sincere loyalty. ELIZABETH FRANCES SPENCER 28 Landor Street Providence, R. I. To see “Bessie” without a smile would be a surprise to all who know her. Her sense of humor has caused many a giggle in the classroom. No social function is complete without her. Her pleasing disposition and personality have won for her many friends throughout the school. This characteristic does not take away from her school-work for, in that, she is gifted with genius. May the sunshine of bright days be with her in whatever she undertakes. MARY EDITH FOX 69 Burgess Avenue East Providence, R. I We are indebted to East Providence for this worthy representative. During her stay at St. Xavier’s, Mary has won many friends by her amiable disposition. She is a good student, but she doesn’t believe in “all work and no play.” One would never think, to look at Mary, that she’s shy, but you know looks are deceiving. “Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today,” must surely be her motto, for Mary’s always on time with her assignments. Wherever Mary matriculates, she will surely uphold the honor of St. Xavier’s. MMMMMMMIHMIMMMIMMMMIMMIIHH' June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine

•UiltiaiNiiiiiri The Xavier 22 ■■I..in.............. i ....................................iMiiiiiiMMMnuNmMimiim ELIZABETH MAY EVANS 1323 Cranston Street Cranston, R. I. 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

A star in the Commercial Department! Spanish and typewriting are her favorite studies, and we are sure that her commercial knowledge will be a strong asset in her future career. Besides a love for her studies, “May” is gifted with an artistic ability which the pages of the “Xavier” prove. Her quiet and reserved manner have won for her the love and esteem of her classmates and teachers. The Best Art and Interior Decorating School will welcome “May” next fall. VENITA CELIA DANIS 866 Douglas Avenue Providence, R. I. Listen to “Ve’s” pleasant voice saying “Good morning everyone.” We all know it sc well. Her four years with us has made every moment a happy one. “Is there anything to be done?” “Ve” is always up and ready. We do not know what Venita plans to do after she leaves school, but we do know that success awaits her. We all wonder if music is her objective aim. for we venture to say that she dotes on her violin. MARGARET KATHERINE STONE 94 Olney Street Providence, R. I. In trying to present “Margie” we must tax your imagination a bit, for I am sure you have never met anyone quite like her. A charming personality, plus natural artistic gifts, minus the conceit which usually accompanies them. As you look through this hook you will see proofs of her artistic gifts. She is one of our Art Editors. We who have been so fortunate as to have been a classmate of Margaret’s for four years know and love the loyal, sturdy, merry heart that lies under her charming exterior. DOROTHEA AGNES NEWMAN 40 Anthony Street East Providence, R. I. “Dot’s” sister came to St. Xavier’s a few years ago and found the environment so suited to the temperament of a native of East Providence that she allowed a younger member of the family to follow her. May a long line of these Newman’s continue likewise! The “gym” floor holds all joys for “Dot,” for she is one of the best dancers that S.X.A. has had in a long time. Generous, goodhearted. willing; these are some of her characteristics. She expects to attend “Sargent” next fall with the hope of becoming a Physical Education Instructor.
