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.

None other but our “Lil,” whose smiles have gained for her many friends. She has distinguished herself in all her studies, but Spanish and Shorthand are her favorites. Her recitations in these classes prove it. She has tripped on “fantastic toe” and shown many of us some of the latest steps in dancing. We are not sure as to her future plans, but we know that whatever “Lil” aims for will be worth while. RUTH AMANDA MURRAY 38 Hope Street Lincoln, R. I. Yes, girls, Ruth comes from the little town of Lincoln. This sober looking Miss is the wit of our class. Ruth firmly believes in scattering beams of sunshine. She is a thorough student and excels in every subject, particularly Latin. Many of us envy Ruth when reports are due. Ruth came to St. Xavier’s two years ago, and certainly proved herself to be a real asset to the class of ’29. Whatever she may attempt in the future will be to her advantage, for she stands on the vantage ground of preparedness. MARGUERITE MARIE McKAY 133 Washington Street Lakewood. R. I. The senior class cannot boast of many quiet girls like our Marguerite. She is both friend and pal, but you do not discover this, until you have made her acquaintance. She is very reserved; one would not know that she y is in the room until recitations begin. Hailing from the remote town of Lakewood, she holds a record of never being late since entering Saint Xavier’s. Her high school career has been most successful and we are sure that success will follow her wherever she goes. Hasta la vista, Senorita. MARY EDITH HENNESSEY 97 Raymond Street Providence, R. I. A gracious personality, and a host of friends make May one of our most popular girls. Her willingness to help others has been the outstanding feature in her four years at S.X.A. May enjoys all school activities, especially basket-ball. She has not fully decided upon her future as yet, but we think she will teach, and we feel that success will be hers in this field of endeavor. ............................HHIIumllllllHl||IMHUUIMHIIIIUIMinilUIMIMIIIIIMNIIIIIMII MIIII|IIIIMMIIIIIIIII lllllllMtUIIIIIIIIIUMIIIIIIMIINIIIIIIIMIMIIMI IUMIIinilUmMHIHMUH IIIIIIM»IIIIIIW June, Nineteen Hundred and Tx»ent))-ninc
