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.

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

30 The Xavier ......... MARGUERITE NORA HAGGERTY Marborough Street East Greenwich, R. I. Here is Marguerite, one of our representatives from the little hamlet of East Greenwich. She came to 11s from East Greenwich Academy in her second year, and she has done excellent work. She has won the love and esteem of all her classmates through her stay in S.X.A. We are sure that success awaits her in the business world, and we wish her the best of luck. Adios, Senorita! ROSALIE MARIE CRAGHAN 414 Academy Avenue Providence, R. I. Rosalie is one of the quiet, lovable girls who is the friend of all and the enemy of none. Whenever things go wrong Rosalie always has a way of straightening them out. I believe someday we shall see her as a private secretary to the president of some large steam-fitting concern. Good luck. Rosalie! MARY LOYOLA DARDIS 143 Sharon Street Providence, R. I. What would we do without Mary, our amiable pianist? Physical Culture indeed, gets much of its zest from her marvelous execution. She is treasurer of our class and in her kindly way she gently and “painlessly extracts” our dimes at Class Meeting. Mary came to us in her second year from Boston. And we soon realized that it was much to our gain and Boston’s loss. Her three years here have proved her to be a loyal and worthy member of the class of ’29. She bids fair to become a great musician, and it is predicted that the radio announcer will, in due time, call our attention to her ladyship’s artistic control of the ivories, a finished concert pianist. ISABELLE ADELINE MURCHISON 317 Warwick Avenue Lakewood, R. I. Who is the tall, dignified senior whom we all like so well? It is Belle, who came to . Saint Xavier’s Academy from Pawtuxet Gram- mar School and has been with us for four industrious year. She excels in typewriting and shorthand. She is also a musician and has entertained us many times after lunch. Some day we are going to hear of a grand concert given by Mademoiselle Murchison, the accomplished pianist. ....................................................................lll llllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllll.MlllllllllllUllinilHIU»IIIIIUIIllllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIMlMMIHHII«MIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIMIIIIMIIimillllllHIIIIIIIIMIU.lHllllllMUIllllllllnlllMtllHIIHI(llinilllllMIIIIUIIUIM ]uncy Nineteen Hundred and Trvenly-ninc wianiiiiiMu
