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

The Xavier 27 imitlllMMMIMMMOflMNNMIlIH IIIIIMMMIIIIMIM VIRGINIA MARY EGAN 14 Mendon Road Berkley, R. I. Behold! You are now gazing upon one of the geniuses of SXA. She is the best hearted, most sympathetic and loyal friend that one might have. The qualities that Virginia possesses are legion. She is endowed with a wonderful brain, and she uses it helpfully. It is believed that Virginia will continue her studies and we expect from her brilliant mind a no less brilliant future. CORA JOSEPHINE WARREN Rockingham Street Providence. R. I. Almost last but not the least of those listed herein is Cora, one of our most loved classmates. Close intimacy reveals her strong character and adherence to duty. Cora is eager and studious, and ever ready to promote the happiness of others. She has both amiable and honest traits. Her specialties are History and Algebra. Although she has not revealed her future plans, we are sure that her name and her fame will delight dear S.X.A. RUTH EVELYN CAREY 27 Benefit Street Providence. R. I. A cheery, laughing, mischievous, demoiselle pictures our Ruth. Her loyal and friendly disposition has added much to the happiness of our days at S.X.A. Whatever may be her future, she carries with her the best wishes of the class of ’29, who are quite confident that success must follow effort and perseverance. ALICE REGINA MAHONEY 16 Huxley Avenue Providence, R. I. In order to appreciate fully this charming Miss, one must know her as we do. for to know her is to love her. Her personality has won for her hosts of friends at S.X.A. Her achievements as a scholar are worthy of high consideration. Alice intends to become a nurse and we feel that she will have no trouble in reaching the top step on the ladder of success. June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine

29 The Xavier •tlMMINNfWNItlllltlHNMIllUNNIIIIIHNllHIIIIM urittiiMTiiimini ANN MARIE SKEFFINGTON 90 Benevolent Street Providence, R. I. Should any one ask where the smile of smiles in the class is located, a unanimous vote will single out Ann. Vivacity, humor, and a genuine love of fun characterize this comrade of ours who incidentally has been willing to scatter her “joies de vie” by her singing. Some day the world very probably will harken to the thrill of the voice which afforded us so much pleasure during our days at S.X.A. CATHERINE MARY FOLEY 4 Hymer Street Providence, R. I. When Catherine first joined us, there was something about her that she now lacks: her shyness. “Kitty,” upon whose visage you now look, is the possessor of a sweet voice, and her talent has graced several of our socials. Besides this Kitty is endowed with intellectual qualities of which she gives proof during Christian Doctrine period. Kitty has not as yet confided to any one her future plans, but it is evident that success is certain for a girl of such ability as hers. EDNA MAY CAMPION 291 West Avenue Pawtucket, R. I. Edna is one of the few girls who possesses the happy faculty of combining the ability to study at the proper time with that of enjoying fully the occasions intended for pleasure. She is a leader in her class, and her rapid transcriptions of shorthand notes foretell a successful career for her. Edna intends to finish her studies at Business School where we all wish her success. ALICE MARIE CHARNLEY 12 Hammond Street Providence, R. I. “Oh girls, here’s Alice! The lady who writes about sunrises, sunsets, moonbeams, and all the other happy things.” Her questions are a source of inspiration to us, and her “if’s,” “why’s” and “hut’s” have solved many things 1 that perplexed us. We know that she will go through life as she has gone through S.X.A.— solving the “if’s,” “why’s,” and “but’s” to find the real truth.
