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.

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

25 The Xavier , , n.......... ALICE REGINA MULVEY 27 Potter Avenue West Warwick, R. I. “The head is not more native to the heart. The hand more instrumental to the mouth.” Her gentleness is an outstanding character- 0 istic. Her wit and humor are greatly apreci-■ ated by her classmates. Alice’s artistic ability I' is greatly admired. She is ready to lend help and is successful in all she undertakes. She ranks high in all her studies. We do not ask which is her favorite, for she favors all of them. Alice’s success in the future is assured. MARTHA RITA McPARTLAND 167 Pierce Street East Greenwich, R. I. 9:20. Hast Greenwich girls have arrived and with them our Martha. She is one of the , most important members of our class, for with- out her we should be minus an artist and a J friend. Martha’s favorite study is English, but Art also is a great factor in her life, as can be seen by some of her sketches. Martha rates among the highest in the class, and we are sure that S.X.A. will be proud of her in future years. ALICE MARION GAUDETTE 2252 Mineral Spring Avenue Centerdale, R. I. Alice is one of our quiet, studious girls. She excels in shorthand, but is very good in all her studies. Her drawings have greatly added to the beauty of our year book and our orchestra would miss her musical talents. She has been a loyal and willing worker at St. Xavier’s and we wish her as great success in all her future undertakings as she has had in the Class of ’29. FRANCES VERONICA CANIFF 154 Livingstone Street Providence, R. I. What a boon to the class of ’29 is our Frances! Four years ago she came to us from the “Immaculate” and has proved her ability as a student ever since. She is excellent in V all her studies, but she prefers English. Although a rather conservative girl, we find her ready to help on all occasions of merriment. Some early day, it will gladden us to hear that she has climbed high on the ladder of Success. w ' $rrri| ia jhntuarrruribtlrm ((liirur . (£ nr imam. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine
