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

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.

Imwarrrenbtln OkluruT VIRGINIA CLARE GATELY 95 Norwood Avenue Providence, R. I. Oh, very noisy! You cannot mean Virginia. She is one of the quiet girls in the class, who would rather not express her thoughts, but Sister often insists. She is a friend to everyone, but her side-partner is Claire Hesketh. Her favorite study is chemistry. During this period we are apt to hear a little noise, but don’t be alarmed, it means a slight explosion in the “Lab.” ‘‘(Jinny” firmly believes in, and adheres to, that old proverb “Silence is Golden.” “A smile will go a long way,” and we feel that Virginia will smile her way into the hearts of her future friends. AGNES MARIE FENLON 21 Armstrong Avenue Providence, R. I. Look who’s here in the class of ’29! The world's most famous debater! Believe it, or not. Agnes knows how to argue! When it came time to question a dog's intelligence, we let Agnes answer that. Maybe she’s right! She has proved herself a brilliant scholar in English literature, “Hamlet.” and “L’Allegro being her favorites. We wish you all the luck in the world, Agnes, whatever your future plans may be. ANNA IRENE GEARIN 274 Point Street Providence, R. I. Where can be found a more loyal classmate than Anna? Her pleasant and earnest manner makes her loved by all her classmates. If constant application and perseverance can bring about results, then, we feel certain that some day we shall hear that Anna has reached the top rung of the ladder in the business world. HELEN LOUISE TULLY West Main Street Wickford. R. I. Behold, our sole representative from that well-known metropolis. Wickford! A better classmate could scarce be found. Helen is a girl who is always ready to help her classmates. This young lady is an exceptionally good typist. She says very little about her future plans. Wherever Helen goes, she will be welcome, we know; and whatever she does will bring her the credit she deserves. The class of '29 joins in wishing Helen every happiness and success.
