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

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.

The Xavier 3 HII1MIIU tlMlIIIIICtltlllllllMttttMII DOROTHY ALICE TREACY 70 Fifth Street East Providence, R. I. Big, brown eyes, fluffy hair, and a disposition that brightens up the darkest hour is our “Dot.” She comes form P3ast Providence and is noted for her punctuality. She is fond of study and is an example of all that is earnest in her school assignments. We wish her well in her future career. AGNES FRANCES HAVEN 217 Regent Avenue Providence, R. I. Another reason for which we thank Mount Pleasant, the gift of Agnes. Kind, loving, and generous, qualities that Agnes can claim as her own. With her pleasing and charming ways, she has gained the friendship of all her classmates. She is cheerful and obliging and is always ready to do good. Her laughing eyes and her irresistible manner are a sure cure for the blues. We all agree she is gentle, genial, and an ideal student. Though of a serious disposition she enjoys the good times that the inseparable trio have. We are certain that whatever her work in life may be, her natural and loving disposition will continue to gain for her fame and success. CLAIRE ISABEL HESKETH Warwick Avenue Conimicut, R. I. .Just one glance at this young lady and you will immediately see why we prefer blondes. Claire commutes from the distant town of Hoxsie, despite which fact she always arrives on time. Claire’s recitations in French verbs have shown her ability as a student. Always V ready to assist in any of the activities of the class, is only one of the reasons that Claire has made so many friends at Saint Xavier’s. Claire hopes to continue her studies in College. And what then? CLAIRE KATHRYN BURNS 78 Lancaster Street Providence, R. I. Choice—what does '’.at name call to mind? Snappy brown eyes, curly brown hair, a ready lass always on the alert for every passing bit of fun. Preparedness is her motto and she practices this virtue notably in class. Neither the most perplexing problems nor the most exasperating circumstances have been able to dim her outlook in life. Claire’s host of friends is surely a testimony of the general loveliness of her character and the best thing we can wish her is that life may never rob her of this possession. jiiiiiurcrunbilrm Oilnn.r . 1 nnnum CfllllltlliaMIIIUIIIftMlIII June, Nineteen Hundred and Tr»enl )-ninc rtimMtimiMimi
