Xaviers YEAR BOOK OF St Francis Xavier Academy Edited by Qraduating 0ass VOLUME XIV m Sisters of Mercy Providence, Rhode Island Broad, Pine, Claverick and Foster Streets 1930 Detatton In honoring one who is eminently worthy of all honor any institution brings new glory to itself. This is our attitude as we covet the privilege the classes of Saint Xavier’s have enjoyed during many years past—the distinction of dedicating our volume of “The Xavier” to our Right Reverend and Beloved Bishop. We feel proud and happy to claim him as our Father, our Shepherd, our Friend. We rejoice in his achievements for Church, for Society, for Education. We thank him for all that he has done for us, personally.

Hickey, D.D. —E. ]oyce Sweeney. L.ptRNWtHU foreword The Seniors of 1930 extend their greetings to the Public in presenting the fourteenth volume of “The Xavier.” has been a pleasant but serious task to try to make our book second to none of its fore' runners; but we believe this issue to be the best and most elaborate in appearance of any Year Book ever published by the Graduating Class. ‘jWe hope then, dear readers, that you will receive our an' nual warmly and appreciate the efforts we have put into it. But let this Foreword not detain you, From turning the pages o'er, To see just what Seniors offer Of their treasured lore. —Katherine A. Gaffney. Dedication Foreword ....................

THE motto for the Class of 1930 is taken from the writings of the great St. Augustine, that Doctor of Holy Church whose master mind dominated the thought of western Europe for almost a thousand years. When, last September, the class selected the motto, it was because the wisdom of the beautiful words made so strong an appeal to all. Now, as we reflect upon the choice made, it appears to us to be rather providential, for the year 1930 marks the 1500th anniversary of the birth of St. Augustine in Tagaste, Africa, in 430. Africa is of special importance this year because of the Eucharistic Congress soon to be held in Carthage, a city curiously connected with the life of the great doctor. And another thought of Carthage pleads for utterance. Virgil, whose bimillennium is making a universal appeal, has immortalized that ancient city in his epic, the “Aeneid, already referred to in another article of The Xavier. Since the holy Doctor, Saint Augustine, unquestionably the most powerful influence of fifteen hundred years ago, continues today one of the leading authorities in Church doctrine, it is fitting that we expand our class motto in his own words so beautifully translated by the eminent poet. Reverend Matthew Russell, S. J. Lord Jesus, make me know Thee. Make me myself to know! Be Thou my only longing, Thou only here below. May I, my vile self hating. Love Thee, do all for Thee! May I be duly humbled And Thou exalted be! I'll think of naught beside Thee; Die to myself and live For Thee, dear Lord! accepting Page Eight OUR CLASS MOTTO—Continued. Whatever Thou mayst give. Myself I’ll spurn and trample, And follow close to Thee; To follow Thee, to reach Thee, My sole desire shall be. Flying from self, oh! let me Fly far and fast to Thee, That by Thine arm defended I may deserve to be! Fearful of mine own weakness. Thee let me fear, that I May cease to fear forever Mid Thy elect on high. Distrusting self and placing All trust, dear Lord! in Thee— For sake of Thee obedient. Caring for naught but Thee, Poor for Thy sake, O Jesus! Look on me, that I may Love Thee, dear Lord, and serve Thee More perfectly each day. Call me and make me hear Thee! Oh! call me to Thy breast. To see Thee and enjoy Thee, And be forever blest! Mary C. McLaughlin. Page J ine CLASS OFFICERS Seated - Left to right—Joyce Sweeney. Class.-Eng. President; Alice Keefe. Commercial President.

DOROTHY IRENE ARSENAULT 40 Ivy Street East Providence The initial letter of “Dot's” last name placed her at the head of the class in the first year, and the number of “A's she has received during her stay at S. X. A. has kept her there. The ability to gain “A's” isn't Dot's only gift; perhaps the one that makes us love her best is her generous and understanding nature. No matter how busy she is, “Dot is always ready to help someone else. These qualities make us hate to lose “Dot at graduation, but this sorrow is lessened some what for we point to her with pride as a graduate of Saint Xavier's Academy. Wherever you go “Dot, our hearts are with you. AGNES CECILIA BENNETT 165 Angell Street Providence If you have not had the good fortune to know Agga, allow me to introduce to you a prominent member of the Class of '30. Ready for fun, ready for work, generous, affectionate, and true. Four years of high school life with Agga have been four years of happy memories. A girl with high principles, undaunted by public opinion, witty, original and willing; hers is an unforgetable personality. Agnes will enter the College of St. Elizabeth in the fall, and she carries with her the best wishes of her classmates and teachers. DOROTHY GERTRUDE BRENNAN i 68 Cliff Street East Greenwich “Dot is the jolly member of the Class of '30, who spreads sunshine wherever she goes. Although a latecomer, due to the train service, she does creditable work in all her subjects, particularly History. As a member of the Basketball Association and Debating Society, she has won prestige. However “Dot has chosen the business world for the present, and we felicitate the organization who will be fortunate enough to obtain her efficient services. CATHERINE TERESA BROCK 41 Kossuth Street Providence Sugar and spice and everything nice—That’s our Catherine. She is the jovial, good-natured scholar from Olneyville; an admirable example, for she can smile at the worst luck as well as at the best. We marvel at her ability of solving Math, and in fulfilling French assignments. To one of such magnetic character and smooth flowing speech, a place in the world is unquestionable. Where to, next fall, Catherine? We wish Saint Xavier's offered P. G. courses. Page Twelve MARY MARGARET BROGAN 106 Francis Street Providence “Paging Mary —a combination of sweetness, demureness, and beauty. Mary is sweetness personified and has proved herself an ideal companion and classmate. If all of us possessed Mary's gentle' ness of manner and simplicity of character, we should rightfully feel that we had something to be thankful for. Mary is especially gifted in painting and many are the Oh’s and Ah’s when Mary’s drawings are displayed by Sister, in the hope of inspiring some of us who are not quite so responsive. She has not yet decided her future plans, but we, who know Mary, feel certain that some day her paintings will adorn the famed art galleries. DOROTHEA DOLORES CADDEN 9 Paisley Street Pawtucket “Dot” has won for herself the love and esteem of all the students of St. Xavier's. So highly is she considered that when class elections were completed all the funds were entrusted to her worthy keeping. Our Commercial treasurer has proved so efficient that we have no doubt of her ultimate success. Dorothea is an able athlete and an excellent dancer, as well. Well-earned applause and laudation in the past are hers and our good wishes for all time accompany her. MARY CATHERINE CLARK Spruce and Elm Streets Apponaug This demure Miss comes from the great town of Apponaug. She came to us as an unsophisticated little Sophomore. Mary has the love of us all as her classmates will bear testimony. Although she is rather quiet at times, one can see her in the midst of a jolly group at recreation. Sociability and responsibility are but two of the many traits of character that will distinguish Mary as an S. X. A. graduate. CECILE ANNE CLARKIN 74 Dixon Street Providence Stop! Look! Listen! Here is our dainty Cecily Ann. You can see by her picture that a halo of curls frame her smiling countenance and her smile goes a long, long way and is typical of her gracious and beautiful disposition. We find her always happy, and a true loyal friend. Wherever you see Cecile you are sure to see her two pals, Dot and Anna, otherwise known as “the Happy Trio.’’ Cecile ranks high in all her studies and so we say without hesitation that if constant application and perseverance can bring about results then Cecile is sure to be successful. Page 'Thirteen ANITA DOLORES COIA 155 Langdon Street Providence Anita is a noble and loyal friend. Her willingness to help others makes her truly loved. Her favorite studies are English and French. Anita is now studying at the Providence College of Music where she intends to complete her course as a teacher and a concert player. We know that her career as a musician will be a brilliant one. How do we know it? Why, from her artistic work at the piano during orches-tra period and assemblies, especially during our “Moving Picture afternoons. Our chief anxiety just now is—Who will fill Anita's place next year? Who? Who? MARY THERESE CONATY 113 Stansbury Street Providence This petite Miss is the President of our Debating Society. She is witty, genial, and jolly, always ready to join in and create fun. Mary is apt in both shorthand and typewriting and we expect that she will talk herself into a wonderful position of Private Secretary, and our confidence is that she can fill it to perfection. MARY ELIZABETH CONNEELY 531 Dexter Street Providence Surely everyone has heard of the famous orchestra at St. Xavier's. Let us now confirm our statement by presenting one of the outstanding violinists. Mary has done much to add to its fame at various times and places. Next year the orchestra will seem incomplete without her. To train for nursing in the near future is her objective. We know her cheerful smile and winning way will readily make her a favorite among her patients. ANNA MARIE COONEY 82 Denver Street Pawtucket All the way from Pawtucket comes our Anna, and the Class of '30 are indeed proud of her as a member. Anna does not believe in taking life too seriously, and many a dull moment has been brightened by her witty remarks. She belongs to that “inseparable trio.” This blue-eyed lady intends to be a nurse and judging by her scholastic ability, we know that she will make a great success of any profession. Page Fourteen VERONICA ANN CORRENTE 15 Leah Street North Providence The kind, loving, and generous qualities which Ronie” possesses have gained for her a multitude of friends. She has distinguished herself both as friend and scholar. This petite Miss is interested in all school activities, especially in basketball. If you chance to witness any of our basketball games you will find Veronica to the front leading in vociferous cheers. Veronica expects to enter college after gradua-tion. May good luck follow you, Veronica! MARY WILLETTE CRAFTON 289 Point Street Providence Mary, the best reason why St. Xavier's is a popular school, is the sweetest girl in our class. She is ever ready with her confiding heart to be called upon, whenever we need a friend or a jolly companion. Her loveliness of character makes her the realization of every girl's ideal. Always at a dull time, Mary's voice is heard saying just the right thing to liven up the group, of which she is always the center. Herefficiency in French has become so marked,that we see, even now, the hand of Fate painting the secret of Mary’s future life: Madamci-selle Crafton, L'interprete Francaise.” MARGARET MARY CRANE 79 Lockwood Street Providence Margaret's school life has been spent mostly in long hours of thought and study, the result of which is her ability to excel in all her studies. However, in intervals of leisure, either in school or at home, she captivates everyone with her magnetic charms. Margaret, as well as being engaging, can enjoy, at all times, anything romantic. As a Latin scholar, she is very good, but as a dancer she is better, and is always ready to teach her graceful steps to our eager Freshmen. Margaret has won the admiration of alllier classmates who will always remember her as their modest, yet vivacious vice-president! MARY AGNES CROWLEY 105 Walnut Street East Providence “Sunny Side up” personifies our Mary. Wherever she is present, the atmosphere seems to change because of her amiable and fun-loving disposition. It is a rare thing to see Mary serious and when she is, it seems as if an eclipse were taking place. Mary has a hard time getting to school on time—the bridge is slow (?) to close. Some day we are to read in “head lines” that M. A. C. has won a national typewriting contest, so apt have been her tests. Page Fifteen i 3c C J J CECILIA DOROTHY CURTIS 122 West Clifford Street Providence With one big stride entered Cecilia into her senior year; and she has been questioning and answering ever since. Miss “Courtesy” is as entertaining as she is apt in her studies. Because of her ability in History, her knowledge of Apologetics, and her genial personality, we feel confident that Cecilia Dorothy will tread the path of success in future years. For every step, wrc wish our loyal friend happiness. So stride on, Cecilia! MARY RITA DAILEY 826 Dyer Avenue Cranston Loyal, generous, and studious! These are some of the characteristics of our Mary. Her special study is History. She is always ready to answer any questions concerning History or Current Events. May has been with us since our Freshmen days, and we certainly are sorry to part with her for to know her was and is to love her. May success follow you wherever you go! ETHEL ALICE DAVIS 118 Tenth Street Providence What would the Xavier Dramatic Club do without its charming and capable president! Ethel has afforded delightful entertainment for us, on many occasions. Her laughing eyes and her irresistible manner are a sure cure for the blues. English is her favorite study. Ethel, with her two pals, “Trudy and Lee” otherwise known as the “trois amies” are truly inseparable. In the future Ethel intends to enter Dramatic School. GERTRUDE CATHERINE DESAUTELL Warwick Rhode Island Gertrude manages to arrive on time from the “big town” of War' wick with the aid of a good-natured bus-driver who patiently awaits her. The chemistry laboratory would be minus much excitement by way of explosions if Trudy ever decided to take Latin. Gertrude’s unselfish disposition and characteristic light-heartedness fit her very well for her future work—Nursing? is it? She passes on her way with our best wishes for her success and happiness. Page Sixteen GERTRUDE FLORENCE DRUMM 458 Public Street Providence Some say little Gertrude is much too small for the Senior Class. But in spite of their sayings she has proved her worth, sitting as big as you please behind her desk; with shoulders squared she is ready and anxious for whatever will come. She breathes forth: “There's no such word as ‘can't and I must do it. Her determination and untiring energy will surely win future distinction. MARGARET MARY DURANTE 75 Atwells Avenue Providence Behold, dear reader, you arc now gazing at one of the cheery, laugh' ing, mischievous girls in the class of 30. Peg tries hard to be serious, but without avail. Although Peg is full of fun and ready to spring a joke whenever the opportunity is given her, her lessons arc never neglected. Her merry laughter is heard especially at “gym, which we think is her favorite period. We expect Peg to be a great success in the business world because of her great liking for Shorthand, Type' writing and Spanish. DOROTHY ELIZABETH ENNIS Warwick Rhode Island Dull would be the morning if Dot did not enter the room with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. We feel sure that Warwick cannot boast of many such girls. When Dot enters a local hospital to don cap and uniform she is sure to have a place in the hearts of her patients, and we feel sure her career as a nurse will be successful. ELEANOR JANE FITZPATRICK 133 Plain Street Providence Gentle of manner, soft of voice, and of rather retiring disposition is our Eleanor. Entering S. X. A., as a Tyler Alumna, she has merited for herself a scholastic record worthy of our commendation. When ever we have met with difficulties in translating the works of Caesar, Cicero, or Virgil, we solicited the aid of Eleanor, who always found us a way out. But it is not only in Latin that she excels, for her work in all branches of study has been especially meritorious. When Eleanor leaves the portals of S. X. A., she will bring further glory to herself and her Alma Mater. Page Seventeen JULIA ANN FLEMING 129 Houston Street Providence This petite mademoiselle of the English Division, with sparkling eyes, turned-up nose and a sunny disposition is loved and admired by her many friends. Although “Julie” has never added a gray hair to her pretty head by studying, her marks show that she does not neglect her studies in any way. She always looks on the bright side, and there is sure to be sunshine where “Julie is. Lunch period would lose its savor if we did not see “Julie” dancing around. And now the question puzzles: “Whoever sees 'Julie without Alice?” June will be a sad time for us when “Julie” parts with us to further her education at college. MARGUERITE ELEANOR FOX 136 Ruggles Street Providence For scholarship, manners, and resourcefulness, Marguerite will bear away the prize. Her high grade in lessons is secured by steady per' severance; her charm of manner by her kindly consideration of others; her resourcefulness by her ever ready solution to a difficulty. The future need hold no fear for one so fully equipped for the battle of life. KATHERINE ANNA GAFFNEY [ 209 Warren Avenue East Providence Behold! we now introduce “Kaye” one of the stars of the Com mercial Class. As a student, quality has marked Kay's work. Ah though quiet, she furnishes her share of fun. She is a friend, reliable, and thoughtful and has made her way into the hearts of many of her classmates by her sunny disposition, merry smile, and sterling char-acter. “A Friend in need is a friend indeed” may well be applied to our Katherine. Although we are not sure of her plans for the future, we know that whatever she undertakes will be successful. WINIFRED ELEANOR GALLAGHER i 568 North Main Street Providence We have the pleasure of introducing a charming Miss, none other than Winifred. At first she gave us the impression that she was a very quiet young Miss, but knowing her better, we found her full of fun and frolic, and gifted musically. Who is it that we should give credit to in furnishing us with that snappy music at recreation period, but Winifred? She also is one of our expert shorthand writers. At present she is undecided as to what course of study to pursue whether music or business. “Good luck” is our song for her. Page Eighteen MARY ELIZABETH GALLOGLY 7 Emmett Street Providence Who does not know Mary, one of the most popular girls at our Academy? Mary possesses so many enviable characteristics, it is difficult to write about her in such a small space. Her dramatic ability, which we have enjoyed for four years will certainly be missed. Mary is among the leaders of all social activities; her delight is in basketball. Her witty remarks have been a source of entertainment to all. She is an excellent student in all subjects, but she favors English and French. During her four years, Mary has been a friend to all and has carved in the hearts of each of us a “something” that will always last. HAZEL REGINA GANLEY 223 Douglas Avenue Providence The business men of this world are looking for girls who do their work conscientiously and carefully. We introduce a worthy member of our class, Miss Hazel, whom we know to be qualified for this kind of work. She is always among the leaders of her class and excels especially in English, Shorthand, and Typewriting. Besides being a brilliant student of S. X. A., Hazel has won a place, never to be for' gotten, in the hearts of all her teachers and classmates by her loyalty as a friend, her sense of responsibility, and her witty expressions. With hearty wishes her friends hope her path will be paved with the success she deserves. PHYLLIS ELIZABETH GATELY 95 Norwood Avenue Edge wood Phyl's spontaneous laughter has disturbed the serene calm of many classes. Conjure up a smiling face and a pair of merry eyes and you have “Phyl's portrait. A carefree view of life and a generous spirit are her characteristics. She is loved by all her classmates. She speaks approving, cheering, and witty words while their cars can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them. The “gym“ floor holds many joys for Phyl, as she and Del gracefully glide over it. Phyl is college'bent. We rejoice with the institution that is to be favored by her enrollment. MARY ELIZABETH GEARIN 43 Belmont Avenue Providence The reputation of Mount Pleasant is very ably sustained by its representative, Mary E., whom we are proud to present to the Busi' ness World. She is a ray of sunshine in our classroom. Mary is not always the earliest in the classroom, for we think that she docs not follow' the street car in haste. She certainly gives her studies untiring care in her objective work. She is a student, a friend, and a jolly good classmate! She can sing well, and she can dance well. She docs all things well. What more can you find in a high school grad' uate? We feel sure that Mary will obtain great merit for Alma Mater, w'ho sends her forth with the best of blessings. Page Nineteen HELEN BARBARA GINAITT Grove Avenue Warwick Here w'c arc girls, the personification of joy. Wherever Helen is there is always sure to he laughter. She not only excels in basket' hall, hut she is the head cheer-leader of the Senior Class. Although Helen delights in sport she, hy no means, neglects her studies. The typewriting period is alive with the click of Helen's typewriter. We know Helen will be a big success in the business world. SUSANNA FRANCES GLADHILL 15 Plum Street Providence They say silence is golden. If that is the case, she must be a mint. Sue fails not to enjoy a good joke, and is often found with a group of mischievous girls. She enjoys music and singing in the “gym” at all times. Bookkeeping is her favorite study, and if in doubt, ask Sue. She intends to become a teacher, and we feel sure that she will succeed. Good luck. Sue! ALICE MARIE GOLDEN 18 Iowa Street Providence Back in 1926, a long-haired Freshman poked a scared face into the lower hall of St. Xavier's. But her expression of timidity was of short duration, for no sooner had she donned her green tie than she began to establish her reputation as one of the Class of '30's prima donnas. So now the Class of '30 proudly sends her into the world, confident that she will bring, through her great ability, many laurels to the feet of Alma Mater. MARY BERENICE GORMAN 117 Church Street East Greenwich Berenice possesses a sweet dignity which truly earns for her the title of lady; sweet and sympathetic. She certainly enjoys pleasure, and studies to procure it not for herself alone. And then—there is a seriousness—it tells its tale when comes the period of Latin! During the past four years we have learned to respect her as a highly prin' ciplcd girl, and to love her as a kind and loyal friend. Page Twenty MARGARET CONSTANCE GRIMES 47 Nelson Street Providence This jolly young lady has won many friends because of her fun' loving nature. Whenever you hear her laugh, you know there is a “regular time” going on. However, at our Christian Doctrine period, the giggles are turned to questions to which she finds ready answers. Peg thinks it would be desirable to become a teacher, so she will aspire to higher studies at R. I. C. E. in the fall, where the good wishes of the class follow her. EVELYN CECILIA HANNON 182 Admiral Street Providence Who is one of the wittiest as well as one of the cleverest girls in the Senior Class?—none other than Evelyn. Her sparkling good humor and ever-present wit certainly have served to make us appreciate her value; without Evelyn our four years at St. Xavier's would not have been complete. She has gained the worthy recognition of her teachers, and the respect and love of her classmates, because of her ability as a student and an athlete. On various occasions, she has displayed her quickness and dexterity at basketball. Too, she has been called upon to entertain with her singing. She has a creditable standing in her studies, has made friends galore, and leaves St. Xavier's burdened with our good wishes. MARY TERESA HIGGINS 388 Mount Pleasant Avenue Providence Mary, our ideal girl, is loved by all. Her outstanding characteristics are a pronounced righteousness, a sympathetic interest in others, and a smile which enchants. It is a joy to listen to Mary's recitations, especially her French translations. Her ability for dramatics is much appreciated, and every play finds her in a leading part. It is the dearest wish of her classmates that the world will know and admire Mary as we do and as she deserves. URSULA FRANCESCA HOGAN 123 Ocean Street Providence If you do not know our Ursula you have missed a true friend. Ursula's charming disposition and pleasing personality has made for her a host of friends during her sojourn at “S. X. A.” Ursula's favorite studies are History, Spanish and English. Ursula has not quite decided as to what will be her career, but the best wishes of the class go with her. Page Twenty'Onc LOUISE ELIZABETH JONES Beach Avenue Conimicut “Brown, wavy hair And eyes of blue. Put them together And you have ‘Lou Louise has been our efficient secretary for the past three years. She is bright, cheerful, vivacious, and extremely popular. Her record is above par and is rarely, if ever, excelled by her classmates. While her friends are many, she and Mary Mac have earned the sobriquet “The Twins, for they arc inseparable. Into whatever field “Lou may enter in after years she will find friends and will spread sunshine, ALICE CATHERINE KEEFE 140 Ontario Street Providence “She is blonde and very tall And very popular 'mongst us all. Isn't she distinguished looking! Who is she? The President of our Class, the girl whom everybody loves. Alice, besides being a most capable leader, has proved herself a wonderful friend; one who forgets her own difficulties by helping others out of theirs. She excels in English, and her ability in writing themes is unsurpassed. In fact, Alice has so many good qualities that it would not be easy to sum them all up in this small space. She has not yet made her plans for the future, but we know’ that whatever she does, or wherever she goes, the best wishes of the Class of '30 follow her. MARGARET LOUISE KEEGAN 12 Elmcourt Esmond “Peg O' My Heart is Margaret. Nothing more complete than this song and play could ever have been written to describe our much admired Peggy. Happy-Go-Lucky, but underneath it all a rare scholar. She is very prompt especially at lunch, and what is on the “menu always satisfies her (?) Peg is determined to be somebody's stenog and we'll guarantee she will be one hundred per cent more efficient than “Tillie the Toiler.” MARY ELIZABETH KELLEHER 36 Landor Street Providence “To look on the bright side of life is to look on the right side.” It is true that Mary looks on the right side, for glee, giggles, and wit follow' wherever she goes. Her loyalty to Alma Mater and her classmates is proverbial. Our History period would certainly be dull if it weren’t for Mary's contributions of whys and wherefores. Mary intends to become a nurse and we can see where some people will take sick suddenly? We are sure her helping hand in its usual way will lend its ready aid. At Mary's departure she will have left at S. X. A. a sweet for-get-me-not. I Page Twcnty'two MARY THEODORA LALLY 38 Dixon Street Providence Behold “Miss Personality,” a favorite not only among her class' mates, but also in the school at large! The Class of ’30 are proud of this popular member, for Mary has proved herself to be an intelligent and sociable classmate. Imbibed with a true spirit of loyalty, her genuine enthusiasm and whole-heartedness for the success and pros' perity of her “Alma Mater” have served as an example for the other students. Mary possesses a disposition and character far above the ordinary, and her sparkling laughter and jolly wit have gained for her the affectionate respect and esteem of all her classmates. We are confident that Mary will gain a place of prominence in her field of endeavor. We trust that her attainment may justify her noble efforts. GENEVIEVE ISABELLE LEFEBVRE 8 Lookoff Road Edgewood “Gen” is the sw-eet'dispositioned Miss who tirelessly devotes her time and efforts towards making our entertainments a success, with her lovely contralto voice and unexcelled piano execution. An ex' cellent athlete and successful as well, and a capable business student are qualities w'hich have made Genevieve favored by us. To our questions concerning her future plans, she replies that she will con' tinue a business career, but we are inclined to think that she will sometime become an opera singer. She will be a credit to her Alma Mater in any field. MARY ELIZABETH LOUGH 589 Cranston Street Mary is remarkable for the sunshine she radiates, that in her, our class has a bright, witty and willing member. In studies, French seems to be her preference. Who knows but that one day she may be Mademoiselle's efficient assistant? A very likely prophecy, nest'ce pas, Marie? Providence We realize LORETTA RAPHAEL LUBY 256 Dean Street Providence Loretta is one of the esteemed members of the 1930 Class. When the splendor and glamor of graduation are over, she certainly will be missed at S. X. A. Quietness and earnest study are her chief char' acteristics. A ready hand at all times is extended to further the interests of class and school. If the adage, “A smile will go a long way,” holds, Loretta's career in the world is w elhassured. She pre' sents a sweet personality and an amiable nature, which make and hold friends. Page Twcyxty'threc ANNE MARY McMILLAN Pleasant View Avenue Greenville Sparkling eyes and a pleasant smile—that's May. Her amiable disposition has won her many lasting friends. She is a member of the Agga Bennet, Berenice Gorman. Helen Sullivan. Noontime Chatter Circle, and her views on many topics are worthwhile. Because the “Greenville Special is slow getting around in the morning, May is always rushing to be on time. We feel she will succeed in whatever she attempts and we wish her all the success and good luck in the world. YVONNE MARIE MAGNAN 167 Williams Street Providence The Senior Class is proud to present its French student, Yvonne. What does that name bring to you?—Gentleness, sweetness, kindness and more. If we would add more, it would be good nature, for there is not another girl in this class who has more claim to that epithet than Yvonne. Who says nay when she says she is going to be an expert bookkeeper? To acquire a position of that type, one must be alert, intelligent and conscientious. Therefore, knowing that Yvonne possesses these qualifications, we conclude what an asset she will be in some prominent business concern. May she go through life as she has gone through St. Xavier's—and that means all luck. HELEN MARY MALCX)F 124 School Street Pawtucket Helen is a young lady who finds her way into the hearts of all her companions, elicits admiration from her friends, and commands the respect of all with whom she comes in contact. Pleasant, industrious and conscientious, she ranks high among her friends and in her studies. Especially does she excel in English and Mathematics. Although we do not know Helen's plans, we know her future success is assured. GLENNYS CECILIA MARR 50 Wheeler Avenue Edgewood Glennys is gifted with many talents. She excels as a pianist and has also real artistic and literary ability. As a member of the school Orchestra, she has been an important factor in its success. Glennys intends to continue her education at College and w e feel sure that she is destined for success. i I l Page Twenty'four AGNES FRANCES McCAFFREY §wiei I I 45 Berkeley Street Providence Hats off! Here comes Agnes. If you happen to he down-hearted or in the blues, just tell your troubles to Agnes, and lo and behold, they disappear immediately and all is bright again. When asked which period of the day she preferred, Agnes seriously answered, “the study period, of which she makes good use. Agnes is up to the mark in each and everyone of her studies. She is not fixed in her plans for the future, but whatever she does, we are positive that she will come out with flying colors. EILEEN MARIE McCARTHY 4 Young Avenue Providence Loving, pleasing, studious, is Eileen. From morning until night she beams with a pleasant countenance. Eileen's recitation in French verbs has showm preference for that study. Always ready to assist in any of the activities of the class, is only one of the reasons that make Eileen so appreciated at Saint Xavier's. 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. MARY DEBORAH McCORMICK 350 Taunton Avenue East Providence Personality plus intelligence! That is Marie. Marie believes in a school-spirit and her social affairs are evenly balanced with her studies. She is one of the most important members of the class. The Dramatic Club would be very incomplete without her sweet sounding voice. Marie “drives her own” and is always willing to accommodate her less-fortunate classmates, by giving them a “lift.” Her plans for the future are to enter college. Success be with you, Mary! CATHERINE GEOFFREY McDONALD 16 Dunnell Drive Pawtucket Friendliness, a sense of humor, a pleasing personality, all combine to make “Kay one of the most interesting girls of our class. She is a sure cure for the blues and has brightened many a dull hour by her irresistible wit. A care-free view of life and a generous and friendly spirit, are her characteristics. She is one who is easy to know, but not easy to part with. We feel that wherever she intends to continue her education, her cheerful disposition will win for her new friends.

As a stenographer, we all wish her every success. MARY COLLETTE McLAUGHLIN 37 Ivy Avenue Edge wood An essay contest! Lo and behold! Miss Mary steps forward to display her talents in the field of writing and brings honor to her school. Although this latent talent as a writer has just peeped forth, her other talents have blossomed into maturity at S. X. A. Virgil must heave a sigh of satisfaction when Mary translates Latin. Madem oiselle also beams with pleasure at Marie's “francais conversation. Mary is loved by all her classmates and especially by Lou. If Lou is found, the problem is solved, Mary must be nearby. We feel sure that whatever field of endeavor Mary enters, she will meet with success, and as the years roll by, we shall always connect the name of Mary McL. with this fitting line: None but herself is her parallel. ELIZABETH THERESE McMANUS 403 Smith Street Providence Behold Elizabeth! The shortest girl in the class. As the old saying goes, Good things come in small packages, applies to Eliza beth. Typewriting and shorthand arc her favorite studies, but she has a high standard in all other subjects. Although she is one of a trio, she is generous and loving to all. She has not yet decided what work in life she will follow. The Class of 1930 wishes her success. ANNA MARIE MORAN 361 Wickenden Street Providence Anna came to us from Cleary School, in 1926, and has ever since been a sunbeam among her classmates. She is one of the quiet, lovable girls. Her pleasing and charming ways have gained the friendship of her classmates. Anna is also one of the gifted pupils of the classical division. Whatever may be her future, she carries with her the best wishes of the Class of '30, who are quite confident that success must follow the efforts and perseverance that have characterized her career in S. X. A. ANNA MARIE MULVEY 234 Ohio Avenue Providence You all know Ann. She is Captain and one of the best forwards on our basketball team. This blue-eyed maiden, with her winning personality, is always a welcome sight at all our social events. Lunch time always finds Ann dancing in the “gym, to the strains of some popular tune. Although Ann is a busy girl outside of class activities, she still has time for study. Her good marks speak for her.

She is a lover of basketball and has made many successful passes. She is a jolly and delightful companion and a credit to S. X. A. MADELINE ELIZABETH O'ROURKE 299 Montgomery Avenue Providence When Madeline's name is mentioned, one immediately conjures up a picture of the merry, yet dignified little Senior, who may be seen at the luncheon period dancing about the gym with “Phyl. Del has that mysterious and lovable manner that characterizes her as different” and wins for her many friends. Lady Luck, together with a natural aptitude for learning, has marked her career at Saint Xavier's. MARY PATRICIA O'SHEA 46 Chamber Street Providence And this, dear reader, is our “Pat, who is one of the most popular and most charming girls we have.

MARTHA FRANCES QUINN 209 Lockwood Street Providence Who does not know this demure, petite Miss? Tackling the im possible is similar to attempting the description of Martha. You, perhaps, have often heard the saying still waters run deep.' Well this is one case it can be applied to. With her winning smile and cheerful personality, she has made a number of friends at St. Xavier's. Martha never allows her outside activities to interfere with her schcol work. Page Twentynine MARY MARGARET RATTIGAN 748 Douglas Avenue Providence To attempt to outline Mary's characteristics and abilities is an almost futile task. She is possessed of a friendly and sympathetic nature. Her ability as a student is unquestionable, especially does she excel in French and History.

MARGARET HELENA ROCHE Cumberland Hill Cumberland “There is only one way to be happy and that is to make somebody else so. This is little Miss Sunshine's motto. Everyday Margie comes dancing in from the little towfn of Cumberland, sparkling and bubbling over with joy. She is always ready for fun and yet when work begins, she is absorbed in it, as if nothing else matters. What would “Fancy A booth have done without her zealous efforts during the Annual Sale? What would “Aeneas do without her aid in getting him out of so many of his difficulties? What would we all do without her pleasant smile and greeting every morning? Margie intends to continue her education. We can just imagine the splendid results she will receive from her classes in years to come. Our hearts are with you, Margaret. I i MARGUERITE MARY RYAN 429 Smithfield Avenue Pawtucket Perhaps you don’t know Marguerite, and if you don't, you're missing something. A gracious smile is ever hers; an interesting and earnest person is Marguerite. She is full of wit and fun, also a good student. Like most of us, Marguerite parades no claim for genius, but averages well. Her sport is basketball. She is not quite decided what she will do after graduation, but we venture to say„ “A hard worker seldom fails. ANN LORETTA SCANLON 191 Bay view Avenue Edge wood A gentle voice, a charm of manner, a serene poise, and a pleasant wit. These are the characteristics which make us love our charming Loretta. No one can accuse this girl of being a shirker, because she has shown her school spirit on every occasion, especially in Basketball, which is her delight in her “ad lib time. Some of Loretta's personal friends call her “Luce,” which means “light,” and a guiding light she is to them as the occasion comes up.

CHARLOTTE ELSIE SCHNOHR 7 Francis Avenue Conimicut Charlotte is our blonde Senior. She is possessed of a cheery disposition and tries to make everybody else happy. Charlotte's favorite study is typing and she excels in art. Notice her etchings in The Xavier.

She is also athletic, and is desirous of entering her name on the Olympic Swimming Team. May all her hopes, and ours, too, for her, be realized. ESTHER MARIE SHAW 19 Greenwood Street Providence Esther is “true blue.” This in itself is a character sketch of Esther, for she is all that is meant by these two short words. Being a friend to everyone helps her to do her own work with zest, as her marks readily show. For four years her examinations have been ranked among the highest, and now, if excellence in shorthand and typewriting, and all-round capability count, we see in the near future, “Miss Shaw, Head Stenographer,” or perhaps it will be “Secretary,” printed in big letters, on an office door of some important business concern. Page Thirty'One HELEN LOUISE SHEEHAN 2 Pearl Street Providence Whenever a noisy little giggle is heard, you may he positive that it is none other then Senorita Helen, seeing the funny side of things. Helen is one of the most studious of the Seniors and she breaks all records when she is taking dictation for typing. We are quite positive that in the near future she will he sought for a lucrative posi-tion of Private Secretary. HELEN AGNES SMITH Fuller Street Conimicut, R. I. Helen, our petite member of the Commercial Course, joined S. X. A. after a year's sojourn at Commercial High. She adds zest to our weekly class meetings, by her spirited suggestions and ideas, nor would the History period be complete without her keen quizzing. Her skill in the gymnasium has won much commendation for her work in the physical culture classes. Often is she taken from the rank and file of “Gym classes to give a demonstration of some difficult exercise or graceful dance. This excellent member of our class has done creditable work in the Commercial Department and intends to use her ability on these lines in the future. GERTRUDE MADELINE SULLIVAN 702 Prospect Street Pawtucket Gertrude is our Class Treasurer, and a very precious treasure she is of S. X. A. In Maths, she is a wizard. Her keen insight has solved many a problem that has puzzled her less ready classmates. History period is filled with her numerous queries and arguments. When she leaves the portals of S. X. A. and meets Dame Fortune, her fitness, ability, and cheerful disposition recognized will surely lead her through the path marked “Success.” HELEN PATRICIA SULLIVAN Farnum Pike Georgiaville Five-foot'two, eyes of blue! Yes! everybody knows this girl. Helen entered S. X. A. in her second year, because we needed the personality she has proved to be. The “gym” has great attraction for her. Dancing is her forte. Her sunny disposition, mixed with wit and humcr, has won for her many friends. There are rumors that Helen intends to further her education at Sargcant's. We trust that her “Way through life be light and gay Like the years she spent at S. X. A. Page Thirty-two MARGARET MARY SULLIVAN 244 Power Street Providence Margaret is of a quiet disposition, hut beneath her gentle and refined manner, she is bubbling over with mirth and merry-making. Gloom vanishes with her witty remarks and good humor. However, in spite of all this, she never neglects her studies. We find her a fine character, loved and respected by her classmates. We all feel certain that she will succeed on the road of life. ESTHER JOYCE SWEENEY 1143 Narragansett Blvd. Edgewood Joyce! One of the dearest and most beloved of all the Senior Class. With one accord we all turn to her for sympathy and guidance. In her three consecutive years of presidentship, she has promptly fulfilled her official duty. She is an unusual and creditable student, especially in French and in History. Her ability for play-w’riting was shown by worthy productions, on two occasions during the year, once, in honor of Columbus and again to do homage to Virgil. We know that Alma Mater will look with pride upon Joyce. “May the years before her hold The joy she brought to others Increased a thousand fold. MARY JEAN SYLVESTER Providence 22 Ledge Street Happy and genial is our esteemed friend, Marie. Her smile, her sparkling brown eyes and pretty brown hair, attract great attention. She has been a loyal and true friend during her four years at S. X. A. Her favorite subjects are French and English. Being an excellent musician, she will continue after graduation at the “Providence College of Music and complete her studies as teacher and concert player. May the future hold for her a high place in the musical world! BLANCHE MARIE TAYLOR 976 Douglas Avenue Providence Blanche, because of her ability as a pianist, combined with her pleasant personality, w as unanimously elected President of St. Xavier's Orchestra, and she has admirably fulfilled all the obligations of this office. She does not devote all her time, however, to the musical field, as is shown by her student-habits and by her speed and accuracy as a typist. Her excellent transcriptions are models of precision and care. The S. X. A. Basketball Association elected Blanche as a member of their first team, and she has done excellent work with them. With all these outstanding qualities, we pronounce Blanche well-qualified for any business or musical enterprise. II Page Thirty'three EDNA MARIE TIERNEY 92 Vandewater Street Providence We now take pleasure in introducing Edna, the clever captain of our Debating Team. She is possessed of a sociable and ever-willing dis position to help in any difficulty, and that with an enthusiasm that is both spontaneous and delightful. She rises to the occasion in any emergency, and fills us all with renewed confidence. May this lovable characteristic, Edna, remain yours always through the years of a happy and successful career, is the wish of S. X. A. GERTRUDE ALICE TULLY West Main Street Wickford Gertrude is one of our indefatigable Seniors, who allows no obstacle to stand in the way in her pursuit of knowledge. She has journeyed all the way from Wickford for the past four years, and arrives well prepared for each day's tasks, which proves that she takes school seriously having an outlook for success. Gertrude is a very charming young lady and her teachers and classmates alike, agree that all who are fortunate enough to have any relations with her, will find her un selfish, eager, and responsive to their interests, as well as to her own. VIRGINIA MAY TURBITT 29 Governor Street Providence Next in line is our dainty little Miss, who came to us three years ago, and through her lovable personality and sense of humor, has won for herself the affections of both her teachers and classmates. We all agree that she is gentle, kind and sympathetic, and ever ready to assist. Oh! what our entertainments would lack without Virginia “tripping it on the light fantastic toe!” Her ambition tends toward the business world, and we feel certain that she will attain success. MARGUERITE FRANCES VIERLING 80 Cypress Street Providence We cannot half say all we would about our “Marge. She is a dependable pal, always willing to help others. During her four years at S. X. A., she has been faithful and industrious in everything she has undertaken. Her knowledge of the violin has been an asset in our orchestra for two years. Marge is a student of such parts as fit her for a college career. Judging apriori she will climb the ladder's heights. Best wishes for success! Page Thirty'four t ! DOROTHY ANN WALKER 74 Plain Street Providence One of our most studious girls in the Commercial Division is Dorothy Ann. Her intelligence and her vivacious disposition have won for her many adherents. Her ability for dramatics is contagious, and she has a fine sense of humor. We feel sure she will find a place worth while in the future. MARY GERTRUDE WALSH 939 Hope Street Bristol This delightful Miss easily wins her way into the hearts of her classmates and friends. Her ready smile and obliging disposition greet you at all times and places. She is a good student and gives satisfaction to all her teachers. What would our bridge and whist parties do without Mary?

LEONORE MARY WEEPLE 52 Farragut Avenue Providence Leonore's sweet disposition and good nature, have made for her a host of friends. Throughout her four years at S. X. A., “Lee” has been helpful in all activities. She is one of the best dancers in the school and her presence is always hailed at all our socials. Her popularity does not interfere with her studies, for she stands high in Commercial work, especially shorthand and bookkeeping. After graduation, a commercial career is her outlook, and we know she will be an efficient asset in any business firm. Be the good pal that you were at S. X. A., Lee, and you will succeed. MARY AGNES YOUNG 211 Bay view Avenue Edgew’ood Mary Agnes is ready to be “Somebody's Stenog in the near future. Mary is one of our outstanding geniuses and possesses the enviable trait of being able to do and to say the right thing at the right time. Her record at St. Xavier’s, for four years, has no parallel. A series of 100% triumphs marks her scholastic work. The Commercial Division hereby recommends a paragon of efficiency to the business world. She has been to us, of 1930, an incentive to higher aim and a girl of whose rare talent we delight to boast.

Page Tinrtyscvcn 132 ( -1930 CLASS HISTORY pAGER people, young and old file into the spacious auditorium to view a motion picture about which there has been considerable comment. As the St. Xavier’s Orchestra strikes up a lively tune, the audience listens spellbound to its enchanting strains. When the applause subdues, the lights are extinguished, until all is in darkness; there is a certain tenseness in the air as everybody wonders what is to be seen and heard. The title flashed on the screen, The History of the Class of 30 with talking sequences and sound.” First appears the old St. Xavier’s Academy, near and dear to the heart of every St. Xavier girl; the front of the building is viewed with satisfaction and then the back, with ivy climbing its dear old walls and fringing its beloved windows. But then sounds are heard—of laughing girls, with gay young voices. Everyone is anxious to see the owners of these charming voices and at last appear girls in starched blue uniforms and white collars, with their wide black ties flying on the breeze. Girls, girls, girls, oh, so many, confident looking girls, clever, and dainty girls. But who are the shy little ones with the freckled faces and turned-up noses, so timid as they gaze about them, at their new surroundings, with wide open eyes? You already guess, who they are. They are freshmen, and this takes place on a bright sunshiny day in September, 1926. A bell rings and a clear voice is heard directing the freshmen to the school hall. They file quietly in, under the searching gazes and amusing smiles of the upper class girls. Many a blush and blunder is made as the newcomers walk along into the hall. After they are arranged alphabetically, they follow their respective teachers and march up the stairs— Page Thirty'eight CLASS HISTORY—Continued. stairs—stairs—for old St. Xavier’s is famous for its stairs. Time passes, as time will, and the trusting little freshmen trudge daily up the stairs with their indispensable “Boston Bags.” Many are the lessons and recitations heard, as their gentle teachers drill them in the first principles of algebra and Latin. By the time they have become accustomed to the school and are trusted to find their way through it alone, it is almost time for examinations. With what determination and zeal do they pore over their books in preparation for the dreaded exams. But at last they have come and gone, and now they are ready to hear the results. So the next scene shows their principal smiling with pleasure upon them as she reads their marks in a clear tone. Many bright smiles are evident in all directions when she finishes, for they have been very successful. Then with light hearts and with a slightly superior air, they set about to make their teachers prouder of them than ever. The second half of the year is made more interesting by a truly creditable performance by talented seniors of “The Man without a Country. A short time later, the entire school is again assembled; this time to witness a splendid performance by Rev. Fr. Byrnes, of the famous characters from Shakespeare and Dickens. Gradually the days grew longer, the air warmer, and buds appear on the trees, all of which help to spread an at nick of spring fever through the school. Before they realize it, the Easter vacation has come and gone, and once more, the light uniforms are put on. In May, they make a pilgrimage to the beautiful little chapel and crown the Blessed Virgin. Their clear voices ring sweetly through the Vitaphone as they sing hymns of praise to Our Lady. In June, when all nature is in harmony, the no-longer timid freshmen are taking their final examinations, for which they had studied with renewed zeal and confidence. Then, when the last day of school arrives, they are both sad and glad; glad of the chance to take a much needed rest, and sad because of leaving their teachers and friends. Many are the good-byes and good wishes that resound through St. Xavier’s halls, again and again, as they leave to return in September. The scene shifts; once more the same girls are seen, and their gay chattering is heard, but there seems to be something different about them. Perhaps it is their air of confidence. Yes, that is it. We must remember these girls are now about to begin their second year of study and they are much wiser than they were when they first glimpsed the Academy. They are told that this year will be very difficult, but they know no fear. In one room they sit listening with intense interest to Sister’s helpful explanation of some experiment, after which they struggle to find the speed of a falling body; in another room, Sister is giving them their first lesson in bookkeeping. How ambitious these girls are! Soon we see a classroom, filled with the spirit of Christmas, by its colorful decorations. Immediately is recalled that wonderful Christmas play everyone enjoyed. After the Christmas vacation, the girls settle down to study for the usual exams. Then comes the first retreat. What spiritual peace it brings them! Later, in their assemblies, with the presentation of “Ivanhoe” they display their dramatic ability to the best advantage and they distinguish themselves as actors of unusual talent as well as convincing debaters. But much of their success is due to their teachers’ untiring efforts. Before their year’s work is finished, they have the privilege of hearing Dr. Walsh's impressive talk on the culture and civilization of the early Mexican Indians. Page Thirty-nine CLASS HISTORY—Continued. However, “time waits for no man” and again the girls take leave of their classmates and teachers to enjoy a well earned vacation. The first important event in their junior year is Mercy day; a double holiday, for it is also Sr.M.Eulalia's golden jubilee. Soon after,class officers are elected and from then on, the meetings are very business-like and interesting. It is not long before Christmas is upon them again; their voices thrill their listeners with Silent Night and “Adeste Fideles.” After the beautiful season of Christmas is over, it is their privilege to resume their studies in the new school. With such inspiring surroundings, is it any wonder they solve their geometry problems with great ease and translate their Latin and Spanish smoothly and fluently? A pleasant surprise is soon in store for them. They are invited to the auditorium one afternoon, to a lecture by Fr. Donovan. He completes his interesting talk with several songs. “Lil Liar Lee seems to be the favorite. The program is over all too quickly, for by their attitude, they show that Father can not sing too much nor talk too long to suit them. The rest of the year is a round of pleasant events equally balanced with hard work, so when June creeps upon them gently, they pack their books and depart, as the summer months becken to them enticingly. The next scene presents a charming picture; of happy girls wiser and filled with a determination to lie the most considerate and charitable senior class in the history of the Academy. The election of officers takes place joy of joys—each of the two divisions of the seniors, elects its own set of officers. This arrangement proves satisfactory to all concerned. The next important event is the first Senior Assembly in honor of Columbus. The girls are particularly proud because the play was written by one of their own classmates. The Hallowe'en party follows soon after and is one to be remembered, both for its delightful entertainment and the sociable manner displayed by the girls. With the arrival of the New Year, many resolutions are made and kept (?????) Now, the Seniors gleefully welcome the long-anticipated prom at the Biltmore and for one glorious night, they are social butterflies. It was a sad moment for every senior when Fr. Forest came to bid them good-bye. Never shall they forget his talks, sparkling with wit, and filled with good advice and wisdom. Not long after they have the pleasure of hearing Fr. Donovan again speak, and sing his unforgettable, Lil Liza Lee. The juniors, sophomores and freshmen offer assemblies that are both entertaining and instructive. The annual retreat retains much of the spiritual atmosphere of other years; and the seniors, realizing that it is to be their last, make it with great fervor and devotion. In the next scene, the seniors are in a state of excitement photographs measurements for gowns and rings. By the way, they have proved themselves better debaters than the preceding class because they have succeeded in changing their class rings. The last view presents the girls preparing for further social events and particularly, the wonderful event that surpasses all others in its degree of importance — GRADUATION- The lights flash on applause fills the air, and the audience is enthusiastic in praise of the latest talkie.

' In September, we entered on the third lap of our career with the utmost confidence and determination to succeed and conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the name of Juniors. Naturally, our first interest was the election of class officers, which resulted in the following: Classical President, Margaret L. McLoughlin; Vice-President, Caroline M. Laudati; Secretary, Kathleen F. Mungiven; Treasurer, Anna B. Sullivan. Commercial — Ethel M. Follett, Elinor P. Wynn, Esther M. Choquette, and Helen R. Haber-shaw, respectively. Books, studies, etc., just addled us during September and October, but in November came our first great triumph! We displayed our talent in our first Assembly, which reviewed the events and heroism connected with the World War. Our student dance, the Turkey Trot,” held Thanksgiving week, boosted the Junior’s contribution to the Annual Sale. Talk about success! We certainly take pride in that event. Then came Christmas with its joys of vacation but!!—it held for us the shadows of coming Exams!! The yearly retreat was a great relief after those strenuous tests. The quiet and silence—believe it or not—was a welcome interval. Basketball formed a strong attraction for the remainder of the winter term. The interclass game at which the Juniors showed their skill, was attended and enjoyed by many distinguished visitors. The greatest success of our Junior year was the St. Patrick’s Day Assembly. An Historical play, beautiful scenery, costumes, graceful dancing, a well-delivered symposium and appropriate oral selections formed a fitting tribute for this day, and afforded intellectual entertainment to the school. The program opened with selections from the orchestra, whose enchanting melodies proved that “Music hath charms. ’ This was the program: I. CHORUS — God Save All Here” II. SYMPOSIUM — “World's Debt to the Irish, the topics of which were: Irish Music, Great Irish Literature, St. Patrick, Invention of Rhyme in Pcetry, Ancient Irish Medicine, Breadth and Depth of Irish Education, and Modern Irish Missionaries of the Spirit. III. Irish Melodies” — Orchestra IV. RECITATION — How the Fairies Came to Be” V. DRAMA — “The Irish Princess VI. CHORUS — “Believe Me” VII. DANCE — “Irish Jig” Page Forty seven suoiisinr THE JUNIORS—Continued. The “hi-lite” of this Assembly was an appeal to the schnnt in «•!,� c„ , , , , . , , , 1 TV c the f°rm of a parody, urging the circulation of the year-book. The Seniors, especially, received this with the greatest appreciation and gratitude. Early in April we received our dasspins, which we immediately displayed on our uniforms, over a heart which beat high with pride and joy. Our pins differ slightly from those of preceding years; we have a guard attached to the original pin. A period of social inactivity followed, which terminated in the Easter Vacation. We are now looking forward to Final Exams and these are true ghosts for us. As the third year is nearly completed, our minds are eagerly bent on the last lap of our career, when we shall be lordly Seniors,—the goal of all our High School aspirations. For our teachers and all those who have in any way helped to make our school year a success, our thanks are hearty. Good luck to the ’30 s! We are with them in their joys—and we won’t say it—but we feel that clouds of sadness are hovering around their final “au revoir to dear S. X. A. Page Forty-nine SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES SEPTEMBER 9, 1929 found over one hundred former Freshmen deciding their courses for the coming three years, and wondering who their teachers might be. In about two weeks we were quire settled in the new routine. The first real important event was the election of class officers. The Classical Division resulted as follows: President, Margaret Kelly; Vice-President, Bernardine Ward; Secretory, Christine Follett; Treasurer, Mary Welch. The Commercial Division chose Marguerite Vermette, Mary Hodge, Anna Lynch, and Rita Vivier, in their respective roles. Shortly after this, Mercy Day, September 24, afforded us a welcome holiday in honor of Our Lady of Mercy, the patroness of our teachers. The first social event was the day of ghosts and witches—our Hallowe’en Party. Such a party! The program lasted so long that the ice cream turned to a non-palatoble soup. In preparation for the Sale, one of the biggest events of the year, we held our famous Sophomore “Prep Step, financially, we believed, the most successful dance we had. Then came the Sale itself, which was the crowning success of all our work. December witnessed our first basketball game with the Freshmen. Three cheers! we won — although the Freshies put up a valiant fight. Our Assembly next claimed our attention. About half the class was chosen to take part. Those who were not selected congratulated themselves on their good fortune in being the audience for a most enjoyable entertainment. The play was entitled The Herald of Joy, an allegory. “The Herald of Joy” bids Earth prepare for the coming of the Lord. Earth called in all the Pilgrims of the world, snowflakes, stars, and children to assist in the preparation. Each contributed its share in its welcome to the Saviour. Following the play was a very appropriate tableau of the Epiphany. Recitations, too, were given in the spirit of Christmas. The music was by the Sophomore members of the orchestra. After returning from the Christmas holidays, we devoted our attention to studying for examinations, not far off. A retreat of three days followed the exams; it was entered into by the whole school. This was a real boon to us. A series of debates marked and enlivened the class-meetings, the most outstanding of which were those on “Student Co-operation and the “Peace Pact.” In March, despite the frolicsome wind, we had our pictures token for the year book and on the same day we launched our drive for one hundred per cent subscriptions to The Xavier. Page Fifty-one SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES Continued The Dramatic Society contains the names of five of our classmates, and it makes us proud of this honor. The “Country Cousins, presented by the Commercial Division, at one of its class meetings, was later repeated for the entertainment of the Classical Division. Our last assembly was scheduled for April 23, but owing to the unexpected, it was postponed until April 30. The program was historical in character, instructive, and entertaining. The Military Drill delighted the girls; it was full of spirit and vim. Today, May Day, we made our visit to the Chapel to honor the Blessed Virgin. It is a yearly event. The future is not yet known to us, but one thing of which we are certain, is the in-evitable examinations. They have, however, their good side for the results will make us the Juniors of 1931. Page Fijty thrcc FRESHMEN FRESHMEN ' 'NN the countenance of every little freshman, there beams a smile of delight at the very mention of September 9, 1929, for it was on that memorable day that these one hundred and eight little Misses timidly entered the portals of their now beloved St-Xavier s. Their high school life had indeed begun, and so we shall let them tell the story of their freshman year, which is now so soon to close. After we had been assigned to our different home rooms, we soon forgot our shyness, and entered heartily into our new school work. We found it quite a different task from our grammar school duties, but with that ever ready help of our dear teachers, there could be no discouragement. Thus, by the end of September, Latin and Mathematics had begun to lose some of their terrors. Day by day, our eyes opened wider with amazement at the wonders that our science Teacher was unfolding to us. English became a real treat, as we learned to value rightly the great minds of Irving, Longfellow, Hawthorne and others. Ever hallowed in our memory will be our Religion period, when by frequent explanations, we realized how great a gift is Faith. When the gong sounded at eleven-five, we more than once wished that the Greeks and Romans had never existed. Why did we have to study all about those people who lived thousands of years ago? However, after a few short weeks, our history Teacher had completely changed our views, and we now agree that history is a very interesting story when studied in the right way. So runs the story of our classroom duties, duties filled with pleasure, but sometimes with pain, when we forgot or neglected to do our duties. One thing which made us feel very important as students of S. X. A., was our first class meeting, the principal interest, of course, being the election of officers. The result of the election was as follows:— Division A: President, Helen T. Anderson; Vice-President, Esther R. Conlin; Secretary, Mary J. Conroy; Treasurer, Dorothy J. Brookes. Division B: President, Helen T. MacWilliams; Vice-President, Sara T. Higgins; Secretary, Dorothy R. Lynch; Treasurer, Mary C. Manchester. Division C: President, Marjorie M. Williamson; Vice-President, Mary A. Maguire; Secretary, Alice G. Sullivan; Treasurer, Jacqueline E. Ward. That all work and no play makes a dull child,” was wisely understood at our beloved Academy. Accordingly, we were often invited to put aside our regular studies, and indulge in activities entertaining, but, at the same time, instructive. Not the least enjoyable of these events were our Assemblies. So enthusiastic had we become in the field of science that we decided, with the aid of our teacher, to write and to present a real science play. The applause with which our efforts were rewarded made us feel very proud of our dramatic ability. The only thing that still puzzles us is why did the candles burn all the brighter when Dorothy Lynch said they were out. Perhaps Zita Gallagher could tell us. Page Fiftyfive FRESHMEN—Continued Hallowe'en and Christmas were occasions of great festivity for us, the remembrance of which will always bring cheer. None of these however, equalled the peace and happiness of our annual retreat. Coming, as it did, after the turmoil and worry of mid-year exams., it gave us time to think of the things of heaven before taking up again the less important things. How true it is that all good things come to an end. With regret we feel that soon will end for us one of the happiest years of our lives. Before coming to the close of the history of this year, we must not fail to mention another field in which we, “the little freshmen” displayed great skill,—our basketball team. The sophomores may boast of victory, but they will have to admit that to win the victory was no easy matter with two very clever players like Eva and Peggy on the Freshman team. Assemblies and Basketball games are now put aside, for we have no other thought, but that of final exams. In gratitude to our teachers, we hope to meet the foe bravely and come out with flying colors. On such conditions then, may we merit the great dignity of becoming sophomores of dear St. Xavier’s Academy. Page Fifty'sei’cn BIMILLENNIUM VIRGILIANUM Virgi 's Two Thousandth Anniversary JN this year nineteen hundred thirty the good citizens of Mantua will declare a holiday to all the world. There will be pride and music among the Mantuans. If you will stop any man, woman, child, or dog in the streets of that ancient Italian city, on the fifteenth day of next October, and ask, Why this bustle and wagging of tails? you will very likely be greeted with a smile, compounded of pity, pride and contempt. And it will serve you right. For not to know that this is the celebration of the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of the greatest of Mantuans, Publius Vergilius Maro, will be like not knowing who chopped down a certain cherry tree, or who was born in a certain house in the town of Stratford-on-Avon. (1) Virgil the renowned poet, was born in the year seventy B. C. His parents, farmer-folk, were of the middle class. His childhood was spent on his father's farm, where he passed many eventful hours becoming acquainted with the workings of nature. At the age of sixteen he began his studies in Rome under the best masters. After four years of study he enlisted in Caesar's army. At the close of the Civil War he returned to his farm, to take up his life work as a writer. The first fruits of his genius were ten short poems known as his Eclogues. These tell of the loss of his farm, which had been seized to give homes to soldiers after the War, and of his gratitude to Augustus Caesar for restoring it to him. His unusual talents were soon recognized and he became the foremost poet of the Roman Empire. His Georgies show his familiarity with, and his love of nature. But it is in his Aeneid that we find reflected the character of the poet himself. His hero, Aeneas, is remarkable for his courage in not fleeing from Troy, when he was warned by Hector; his undaunted nobility, in not slaying Helen of Troy; his sense of duty, in caring for his aged father and in giving up Dido to follow the dictates of the gods; his tender affection in his attitude towards Ascanius his son; his devotion to his wife Creusa, when he imperiled his life in his search for her in the burning ruins of Troy. The virtues of Aeneas are aptly summed up in the adjective “pius, which Virgil employed, and which, to the Romans, was the highest epithet that could be applied to anyone. In his able picturization of the character of his hero, we can see that Virgil is well acquainted with human nature; but Queen Dido is probably the greatest creation of Virgil. She holds the center of the stage and when she is present, even Aeneas “fades and chills.” Into her Virgil puts all his knowledge of the human heart and his appreciation of purely human tragedy. We find in Virgil’s works a wealth of material bearing upon the subject of religion. In his love for the gods and his respect for their commands and admonitions, he appeals to us almost as a Christian before Christ. No other poet's style has been so effective as Virgil’s. Although it is simple it has had, and always will have, greater appeal for poets than the elaborate writings of the other classical authors. His skillful management of the figures of speech is imitated the world over. Dante conceived his idea of a great epic from the Aeneid of Virgil. In the same way Milton and all the other epic writers the world has ever known have taken Virgil as their model. Page Fifty-eight BIMILLENNIUM VIRGILIANUM Continued. A writer who through the ages has inspired such other writers as Dante and Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton, Tennyson and Longfellow, is indeed worthy of every honor that can be paid him on this the two thousandth anniversary of his birth. But since we are unable to sing his praises fittingly, let us call upon our Victorian Poet Laureate, Lord Tennyson, and with him hail our glorious Virgil: Roman Virgil, thou that singest Ilion’s lofty temples robed in fire, 11 ion falling, Rome arising, wars, and filial faith, and Dido's pyre; I salute thee, Mantovano, I that loved thee since my day began, Wielder of the stateliest measure ever moulded by the lips of man.

The subject of the essay was Why the Flag Should Be Displayed on Thanksgiving Day. It pleases us to make this announcement in The Xavier and to give a transcript of the essays. Miss Edna M. Tierney and Miss Mary C. McLaughlin were among the prize winners in the contest. The two essays follow: WHY THE FLAG SHOULD BE DISPLAYED ON THANKSGIVING DAY Thank God for friends your life has known, For every dear, departed day; The blessed past is safe alone— God gives, but dees not take away; He only safely keeps above For us the treasures that we love. —Phoebe Cary. The foregoing poem epitomizes excellently the real spirit in which we should observe Thanksgiving Day. We are all acquainted with the origin of Thanksgiving and with its continuance to the present time. It behooves us, therefore, to examine the spirit in which we are to offer special addresses of gratitude to the omnipotent Deity. We owe thanks to God as individuals because of the blessings which He has bestowed on us out of the greatness of His generosity. He has given us these blessings both in the spiritual and the physical order, and we owe Him a deep and undying debt of gratitude. It is impossible for any person possessed of a rational mind not to recognize and acknowledge the debt which he owes to God, for his health, his life, his intellect, even though these be the only blessings vouchsafed to him. Comprehending this obligation therefore it becomes obvious to us as individuals that we should show our gratitude openly and verbally on this one day of the year at least. But as a nation we are under an equal obligation of thanking God for His beneficence Under His guiding hand our country has become in a short space of years the foremost nation of the world. By no possible perversion of the imagination can we conceive that the growth and development have been achieved without the aid and guidance of the Supreme Being. Without such divine aid, we could never have reached such a pinnacle of greatness as that from which we now survey the world. In accordance with the custom of all nations we have selected a flag for our country; an emblem in peace and a standard in war. In this flag we express our hopes and ambitions, our successes and our triumphs in war, and our progress in learning and invention in peace. The history of our past, the fulfillment of the present, and the prophecy of our future are clear-limned in our flag. It stands for purity of principle and integrity of intellect. It flings its folds to the breeze, a challenge to the world to find cause for calumniation of the tenets for which it stands. Surely, a noble and illustrious banner for a noble and illustrious nation. Page Sixty'three A PAGE OF INTEREST-Continted Aye, and surely it is proper that on the day when we offer our thanks to God for the blessing which He has bestowed on our nation, we should unfold to the air the banner which commemorates in its beauty and colors those same blessings. Surely such display would be received by a omniscient Being as a grateful and adoring act of worship. Let the banner of our nation carry our prayers and thanks to the very throne of God and obtain from Him a continuation of the blessing which He has seen fit to endow us with. Edna M. Tierney. WHY THE FLAG SHOULD BE DISPLAYED ON THANKSGIVING DAY For the gifts we have had from His hand Who is Lord of the living, Let there run through the length of the land A Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving! —Clinton Scollard. Historians trace the origin of Thanksgiving back to the old Hebrew Feast of the Taber-nacles and through the ages to the ancient Greek Harvest Feast, Thesmophoria, the Roman Cerealia, and the English Harvest Home; yet, in America, we generally think of Thanksgiving as having begun with the days of the Pilgrims, when, in 1621, after the ingathering of the first harvest in the new world, Governor Bradford, of Plymouth Colony, appointed a day for public praise and prayer. For many years after this, the autumnal “feast of ingathering was merely an occasional festival. The first national observance was when President Washington, at the request of Congress, recommended Thursday, November 26, 1789, to the people of the United States, Now, the last Thursday of November is set aside “as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledge-ing with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God. “The signal favors of Almighty God.” are very numerous, and one of the most wonderful is that of our country, a country that gives us a perfect right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The symbol of this country, which gives us such rights is the national flag. Why, therefore, should we not unfurl it to the breeze that every zephyr may kiss the sacred folds, red with the blood of God's heroes, white with God’s justice, and blue with heaven's own azure? Why should we not lift the banner aloft to show to God that we are grateful for His great gift of country? A thoughtful mind, when it sees a nation’s flag, sees not the flag only, but the nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the government, the principles, the truths, the history, which belong to the nation which sets it forth. If one should see the flag waving on Thanksgiving Day he would recall the first Thanksgiving in this country, and the hardships the Pilgrims had to undergo in the building up of this empire, and his soul would be grateful to God for such life, for such liberty, and happiness as he is now enjoying. Surely he would resolve to stand forever by the stars and stripes. Page Sixty-four A PAGE OF INTEREST Continued Thanksgiving is, practically, a national holiday. The flag is raised on other holidays, why not on this one, when the very sight of the banner stirs our hearts? But why should this flag stir our hearts and make our spirit burn within us? Because immortal honor hangs thick on every square inch of its fabric. It was adopted, not long after the first Thanksgiving, when the American people were but a human fringe on the seacoast making their way into the interior blocked by the red savages and howling wolves of the wilderness. The whole inspiration of our life as a nation flows out from the waving folds of this banner, for the flag serves two purposes. It promotes patriotism, and it elevates the standard of citizenship. Hence, on Thanksgiving Day the flag should be displayed to show that we are proud of our country and grateful for its blessings. Mary C. McLaughlin. Page Sixty-fii ( 'VT'ES MARY, I received one, too. Are you going? I think all the loyal members of 1 the Class of 1930 will be there, don’t you? How thrilled I was after receiving this telephone message! I just flew around the house packing the different things that would be necessary for a short visit to New York, and three o'clock that afternoon found my friend and me hopping into one of the airplanes of the “Phildel Air Company, owned by Phyllis Gately and Madeline O'Rourke, enroute to the “big City to attend the Convention of the Catholic Alumnae of the United States. What a relief it was to have a few days vaoition from the trying but pleasing task of making the children remember that two and two are four and not 6ve. We landed safely about two hours later, and our attention was drawn to a daring looking aviatrix coming towards us. She proved to be Catherine O'Connor, who had reached the height of her ambition. “Congratulations, Kay.” After a brief conversation, our friend invited us to have lunch with her, where she said a surprise awaited us. We entered the Mary Lou Tea Room and found Mary McLoughlin and Louise Jones the proud owners. They told us that Agnes Bennett and Bernice Gorman had just left, accompanied by their husbands for their homes on Park Avenue; that Helen Smith, Mary Crafton, Margaret [McGiveron, Rita Murray and Yvonne Magnan were taking prominent parts in the “Hits and Skits” of the Junior League of New York. Mary Crowley and Winifred Gallagher were prospering in their Fifth Avenue Beauty Shoppe. We promised to meet our friends at the Convention the following day, and then departed for our hotel. While riding up Broadway in a taxi, we were very much surprised to see the following advertisement outside the Metropolitan Theatre: SHAKESPEARE’S WELL KNOWN TRAGEDY HAMLET STARRING ETHEL DAVIS, TO BE SHOWN AT THIS Page Sixty-eix IN THE BIG CITY—Continued THEATRE SOON. But our happiness soon came to an end, for just at this time, a little curly headed tot, insisted on dropping his mother’s (Mary Kelleher’s) hand, to dash in front of our car. Fearing that he was injured, we rushed him to the hospital where we were met by Mary Lally, the head nurse, who took him to the children’s ward, which was under the supervision of Anna Mulvey. After finding that the child's injuries were only minor, we were invited by Mary to visit the nurses' home, where we found Evelyn Hannon, Helen Giniatt, Ursula Hogan, Gertrude Desautell, Mary Dailey and Mary Walsh, all happy in their nursing career. Margaret Crane was engaged here also, as a dietitian. But the biggest surprise of all came when we learned that the institution was under the guidance of the Franciscan Nuns, amongst whom were Marguerite Ryan, Mary O'Donnell, Virginia Turbitt and Margaret Sullivan. Some time later we arrived at our hotel. What a relief to be comfortably seated in the lobby. “Mary, doesn’t that girl sitting at the desk over there look familiar to you?” “Why yes, it’s Mary Young. Let's go over to her.” “Hello, Mary, what are you doing here? You're head bookkeeper! How lovely! But then we know that you would make good.” Mary informed us that Alice Murphy was a court stenographer, and that Hazel Ganley had just published her first novel. She then accompanied us to another part of the hotel to register. “Well, look who checked in. Veronica Corrente, Mary Rattigan, Esther Shaw and Alice Golden—all mission workers. After buying a few papers, we retired to our rooms. “Oh, Dot,” I was just thinking of the wonderful wedding that I saw last week. Leonore Weeple was the blushing bride of Dr. R. D. Paul. She had a number of distinguished bridesmaids. Patricia O'Shea, a famous English teacher; Katherine Gaffney, a physical culture teacher; Elizabeth McManus, Teller in the Industrial Company; Margaret Grimes and Mary Gearin, both librarians. I met many of our friends at the church, too. Dorothy Ennis, Margaret Durante, Loretta Luby, Margaret O'Connell, Martha Quinn, Helen Sheehan and Dorothy Walker, all holding important positions as stenographers.” Picking up a paper, I saw Catherine Brock’s name in headlines. FAMOUS LAWYER WINS CASE OF STUDENTS AGAINST HOME ASSIGNMENTS. We gasped—oh! to be back in school once again. “I see here that Blanche Taylor is on a concert tour with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I knew that our little pianist would be successful. And speaking of Boston, Helen Sullivan and Mae McMillan have recently opened a dancing school there. I'm sure that they will meet with success, also. Thus passed our first day in New York. Arising early the next morning, we decided to go shopping. We entered The Parisian Dress Shoppe” where we found Mary Reilly and Eleanor Fitzpatrick, busily engaged in a conversation with the wife of the governor of New York, who was none other than our class president, Joyce Sweeney. A half hour later found us at Cecile Clarkin’s art studio. Cecile was entertaining a number of her friend artists, amongst whom were Mary Brogan, Glenys Marr, Leonore Page Sixty-seven IN THE BIG CITY—Continued Pernaveau and Charlotte Schnor. Here we also found Anna Cooney, a model much in demand by the leading stylists of New York. After a busy day we finally arrived at the huge auditorium where graduates from the various Catholic High Schools and Colleges of the United States were assembled. The first familiar faces we saw were those of Gertrude Sullivan, Marguerite Fox, Mary Clark and Margaret Roche, all school teachers from “Little Rhody.” Margaret told us that Mary McCormick and Margaret Vierling were abroad collecting material for a new European History. We were ushered to our seats, and were delighted to find ourselves seated beside Dorothy Brennan, Gertrude Tully and Loretta Regan who had really arrived on time all the way from East Greenwich. Dorothy is a member of a famous debating team which had its origin in St. Xavier's. Other members of the team are Mary Conaty, Cecilia Curtis, Susanna Gladhill, Edna Tierney and Margaret Keegan. Gertrude and Loretta are statisticians in East Greenwich Town Hall. Mary Conneely raised her baton and the orchestra commenced with that familiar old March “The League of Nations” to which we had marched so often at the Academy. The orchestra was the center of attraction, and how proud we were to see Gertrude Drumm, Anita Coia and Antoinette O'Connor numbered amongst the musicians in this well known orchestra. After the selections were ended, the president, our own Alice Keefe called the meeting to order. Mary Higgins was introduced as the first speaker of the evening. After the business of the meeting was conducted, Genevieve Lefebvre, who had recently made her debut on the concert stage, rendered a few of the solos which had made her so popular. To us the most interesting feature of the Convention was a lecture given by Helen Maloof, Ph. D., announcing a perpetual scholarship to Mercy College, given by the R. I. Catholic Alumnae for high school students in Rhode Island. We gasped—then applauded, and made it our business to meet Helen and congratulate her on the most wonderful speech of the Convention. On our way out we met Anne Moran, a noted astronomer, Catherine McDonald, a famous scientist, and Julia Flemming, a successful chemist. After bidding farewell to all our friends, we hurried to catch the seven o’clock boat back to our old home town. How glad we were the next morning to hear somebody call “Providence!” for we knew that within a few hours we could hear the familiar strains of “Good morning teacher” and also that Eileen McCarthy, Mary Lough, Agnes McCaffrey, Mary Sylvester and Elizabeth Naylor, teachers in the Junior High School, would be waiting to hear all the news. We had a happy day at school, then hurried up to St Xavier’s to tell our former teachers of the wonderful representation that the Academy had at the Convention. We entered the portals of our Alma Mater, and lo! there was Sister M. Theresa (Dorothy Arsenault) striving to keep the girls in order on the corridor. We walked a little further and heard the familiar voice of Sister M. Luke (Loretta Scanlon) saying “Adios Senoritas” to her Spanish Class. We finally found our beloved teachers, and told them of our lovely trip. They were delighted to hear of the great accomplishments which their girls had made, and also to know that their strenuous efforts to make the Class of 1930 a success had not been in vain.

It is taken for granted that the real academic work of the school is done in daily class but many other features enter into the life of the pupils for education, for entertainment, for character formation. Each month brings its own round of extra-curricular activities. Some of these are reviewed in the following columns. MERCY DAT It is always a very great joy to St. Xavier's girls that one of the first special days of the year is Mercy Day. This year, as in all former years, the classes made a pilgrimage to the chapel to honor her, who is our special friend and patroness. Our Lady of Mercy. Page Sixty'trine SOCIAL EVENTS—Continued ASSEMBLIES The practice of having assemblies has proved helpful and inspiring to all. Each month a different class takes charge of a program to which all the other classes are invited. The first was given by the Seniors in honor of Columbus. It was especially interesting and attractive because the play for the occasion was written by the class president, Joyce Sweeney. November's Assembly was in charge of the Juniors. They presented a most creditable program centered on Armistice Day. December found the Sophomores pre-paring to spread the Christmas spirit. Their program was indeed worthy of the beautiful feast it commemorated. January gave the Freshmen their opportunity. The original “Science Assembly” proved that they made excellent use of their opportunity. Again the Seniors “held the stage” in February for the “Father of Our Country, Washington. The Juniors, not outdone, did the same in March for the “Father of Our Faith,” St. Patrick. We shall not have an opportunity to report on the work of the Sophomores for April and of the Freshmen for May, but judging from December and January, we are going to be invited to most creditable performances. The Seniors will give a special Assembly, too, in honor of Virgil, whose 2000th aiv niversary is now being observed throughout the world. You must look in the “Visitor for April, May and June! HALLOWE'EH The Hallowe’en Party of the Class of '30 was the first to be held in the gymnasium and was different from previous parties in that we did not wear costumes. It was a happy night, the memory of which all Seniors will treasure. AHNVAL SALE One of the greatest achievements of the Class was the Annual Sale, also held in the gymnasium. After weeks of happy preparation, we finally conducted a most successful affair, amply aided by the patient guidance of our teachers, and the hearty co-operation of the undergraduates. ESSAY CONTESTS The Seniors entered two Essay Contests. In the one conducted by Emmanuel College on “Why a Catholic College Education,” Loretta Luby brought the honors to S. X. A., while in the contest conducted by the University of Minnesota on Why the Flag Should Be Displayed on Thanksgiving, Edna Tierney and Mary McLaughlin sang the glory of Alma Mater. LECTURES Reverend Father Forrest gave us a very interesting lecture on his pilgrimage to the various shrines of the Old World. Page Seventy SOCIAL EVENTS Continued Reverend Father Donovan, O.P., visited us in February. He gave us a very in-structive lecture concerning the Catholic Church and music, completing the talk by a recital of beautiful songs. AT THE BILTMORE At last! The night of nights arrived. Decked in silks and satins—each of us, “The glass of fashion, and the mould of form. The observed of all observers, tripped the light fantastic. We hereby offer sincere thanks to the Alumnae for inviting us to their delightful Reception. What a grand closing to the old year, 1929! RETREAT After the mid-year exams, the annual retreat was given, with Reverend Father Barry as the retreat master. These three days strengthened us for the second half of the year’s work. V ORCHESTRAL CONCERT Our orchestra established its reputation in the remarkable Concert which was given under the direction of Professor Faucher. The girls were very much inspired by the presence of our Right Reverend Bishop. They feel now that they may, with confidence, respond to any request or any challenge. MOTION. PICTURES One of the many reasons we have to be grateful for our new school is the facilities we have for motion pictures. Several were shown this year, much to the enjoyment of the entire student body. BASKETBALL Great interest was aroused in basketball this year, and exciting games. We enjoyed many well-played Mary C. O’Donnell, Alice E. Murphy.

Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Blanche Taylor Anna Mulvey Phyllis Gately Doris Maloney The St. Xavier Orchestra, under the competent supervision of Prof. J. Henri Faucher gave several exhibitions of its capability throughout the year, the outstanding feature being the Orchestral Concert on February 10. Orchestra rehearsals were held in the school auditorium every Wednesday afternoon. The students have shown much conscientiousness in the progress of the orchestra. It is now comprised of twenty-seven members, and although the loss of eleven musicians will be deeply felt through graduation, we know their vacant chairs will be filled profitably when the next call for candidates is sent out. The Orchestra will make its final appearance this term at the Commencement Exercises in June. Blanche M. Taylor, President.

Aeneas— My dear Achates, we have traveled far over this barren country and have not yet encountered a single human being, or seen ground that was other than uncultivated and barren. What think ye of it?” Achates— My friend, although what thou sayest is true, I cannot help but feel that there must be someone living on this land. True, it is not cultivated, but the soil is rich and fertile and would yield crops if cared for. 1 know thou must be fatigued from worry, if not from trodding this pathless way. Let us sit and rest awhile.” (Sit on the ground under a tree.) Aeneas— Yea, it is good to rest, but we must not tarry long; we must report to our companions. Oh, if the fates would only be kind and allow me to see some form of life here, so that I could bear the glad tidings to my faithful followers! Thou knowest Achates, 1 cannot help but feel that my goddess-mother has deserted me.” Achates—“Noble lord, do not say such things.” (Shocked Voice.) Aeneas—“But, it is true! It is long since I have heard from my sweet mother. But hark! Do my eyes deceive me? Is that not the form of a huntress advancing? Achates— Nay, nay, thine eyes do not deceive thee. It is a being with the flesh of humans. She perceives us. She is hastening this way. (Both rise excitedly and strain forward, their eyes fixed on an advancing form. Enter Venus, dressed as a huntress.) Venus—“Oh, youth! Pray, tell me if thou hast seen any of my sisters wandering this way, in the same attire as I, equipped with a quiver and chasing some wild deer? Aeneas—“Nay, I have neither heard nor seen any of thy sisters. But who art thou? Thou hast the look of a goddess about thee and thy voice is as music to my ears. Art thou the sister of Phcebus, or one of the nymphs? Whoever thou art, pray, tell us where we are, for we are strangers to thy fair land. Venus—“It is sad news thou bearest to me. From whence comest thou and where headest?” Aeneas—“O beautiful one, before I reveal my identity, tell me what land is this, and banish my suspense. Venus— Indeed, thou honorest me. Thou seest the kingdom of Carthage, but the country is that of Libya. This kingdom is ruled by Dido, who fled hither from Tyre, to escape her brother's hate. Her husband was Sichaeus, a rich Phoenician, who was cruelly murdered by her brother Pygmalion. This inhuman act was revealed to her through the ghost of her husband. Dido, then overcome with fear, summoned her friends, and prepared to set sail for foreign lands. The favorable winds landed her on these shores and she directed the building of a new Carthage. But now tell me who thou art? Page Sei'enty'six AENEAS IN CARTHAGE—Continued Aeneas— Thou hast lifted a burden from my heart, in acquainting me with the news that this land is inhabited. As for myself, I have been driven over many seas from ancient Troy, and thrust on this Libyan coast by a raging tempest. 1 am Aeneas, renowned by fame everywhere, and I set sail—but 1 cannot go on. Achates, my aide, speak for me. My heart overflows with grief. Achates—“My lord embarked on the Phrygian sea with twenty ships, under the guidance of his goddess-mother, Venus. But alas! only seven ships remain—the others having been lost at sea. If only Venus had--- Venus—“Spare me, further! and listen to my instructions. Pursue thy way to the palace of Dido, for there, thou shalt find food and shelter. Too, thy ships are all safe in a secure harbor. Do not blame thy mother for any seeming neglect for I (Claps hand to mouth and vanishes.) Aeneas—“Achates, Achates, heardest thou what she said? She said I, I. In disguise, my Mother! Mother! return to thy distraught son. (Runs to exit, but returns slowly and sadly.) “She bears malice towards me. She does not return. But she has commanded us; so let us proceed to obey her orders. Let us hasten to the palace of Dido. (Exeunt.) ACT II. (Scene—A room in Dido's Palace.) (Dido and six attendants.) Dido—(to servant standing near)— Thou sayest, a stranger is at the gate and begs admittance, saying that he bears news?” (Servant nods.) “Well, I will see him. But tarry, remember that thou must give him the impression that I am admitting him with great condescension on my part, and not that I am burning with curiosity to see him. Dost thou understand?” Servant—“Yea, my queen. Dido—“Then go and bid him enter.” (Exit servant.) (To attendants)—-“Stupid ones! Arrange my habit. My veil. Bring hither my reflected image. (Bring mirror; she looks at her self.) “Ah! that is good. Withdraw, he is approaching. (Enter Ilioneus and attendants.) (Enter Aeneas and Achates on the opposite side of stage, but clouds envelop them.) Dido—“Advance, stranger. Thou sayest thou hast news for me. Unburden thyself. Ilioneus—“O queen! Ruler of this fair land, we have not come to ravage thy abode or to declare war, but only for thy advice and guidance. There is an ancient land called Hesperia, by the Greeks; now their descendants call the nation Italy, and it was thither that we were bound when a great tempest arose. It not only threw us upon the coasts. Page Sci'cnty'seven AENEAS IN CARTHAGE—Continued but separated us from our king, Aeneas, whom we all love so dearly. If the fates will it, I hope he is still breathing vital air. Permit us to bring our weather-beaten fleet to shore, and repair the damage caused by the mighty Orion.” (At the close of this speech, Aeneas seems to dart forward, but Achates detains him saying, “Achates—Patience, my lord, thou must remember that we are hidden from sight by a dense cloud. Our time is not yet come. ) Aeneas—“So be it. (Dido, rising, speaks thus.) Dido “Banish thy fears. I will give thee shelter and food, until thou art able to proceed on thy pilgrimage. Or, better still, why dost thou not remain always with us in my kingdom? This city, which I am building will be yours, and I will treat Trojan and Tyrian alike. Dwell well on my offer before making a decision. Would that your prince Aeneas were here to aid thy decision!” (Aeneas, unable to restrain himself longer, bursts forward and addresses the queen.) Aeneas—“I, Aeneas, whom you seek, am present before thee. Though hidden from sight, I have heard thy offer, and my heart overflows with gratitude for thy generous proposition. I am forced to decline for it is written in the fates that I am to found a new city and call it Rome. But it is my pleasure to accept thy invitation to remain here until my ships are repaired.” (All look astonished.) Ilioneus—“My lord, my lord, we thought that thou wert lost in the merciless sea. What happened to thee? Aeneas—(Turning toward his friends)— Ah, Ilioneus, Serestus, Gyas, Cloanthus, great is the boon to see thee again. Nay, I was not lost, only separated from thee by the will of the gods. I feared thou hadst perished. 'Tis a long tale I have to unravel.” (Turning to the still, astonished Dido.) “O Queen! I was directed to thy palace by a huntress, who told me that I would receive hospitality. Dido—“Indeed thou shalt receive my best service. I am burning with anxiety to hear thy tale, but thou must first refresh thyself.” (Turning to attendants.) “Marino, do thou bring on the silver and prepare the banquet tables. Sereno, do thou concoct thy most delicious foods and see that the best wine is used.” (To the attendants remaining)—“And the rest, go, and procure bulls, boars, and lambs, for Aeneas’ companions, as gifts from the Queen of Carthage.” (All exeunt—-leaving Aeneas and companions.) Aeneas—(To Dido)—“Thou art too good to us, O mighty queen, I can never repay thee.” Dido— Do not burden thyself with such anxieties. It is only as it should be. But come now, let us proceed to the banquet hall, where a feast is prepared in honor of thee.” (Exit Dido and Aeneas, followed by companions.) (Curtain falls.) Page Seventy'dght AENEAS IN CARTHAGE—Continued (Scene—The Banqtiet.) (Dido, Aeneas, and companions sitting around drinking from goblets.) Dido (To Aeneas)—“Now, my friend, since thou hast partaken of my simple fare, I beg thee to relate to me the tale of the fall of Troy, and of thy marvelous escape.” Aeneas—(Arising)—“Again I thank thee for thy hospitality. As for the ruination of Troy, it is with a sad heart that I relate the happenings. The Grecian leaders built a large white horse which they presented to us as a feigned peace offering. We would not have admitted it into our city, but for the insistent urgings of a Greek spy, Sinon, who led us to believe in his wiles. Hidden by the dark shades of night, the Grecian warriors, who had been concealed in the horse, crept stealthily from their hiding quarters and killed our sentinels at the gate and admitted the rest of their troop. Oh, what havoc reigned in my beloved city! They slaughtered my people as so many cattle.” Dido—“But what of thy own warriors? Did they not defend their city?” Aeneas— Yea, our men fought bravely, but were as gnats before those monstrous Greeks. We probably would have had a chance to subdue them, but for Coroebus. Some of us were disguised as Greeks and were able to slay the Grecian men without fear of discovery. But suddenly into our midst came Cassandra, the daughter of Priam, being dragged along in chains by the Greeks. This was too much for Coroebus, who loved Cassandra dearly, and he flung himself into their midst. We were at once recognized as Trojans and the bloody battle began anew. Next comes the most terrible crime of all. The murder of Priam But 1 cannot go on. If thou wilt permit. Queen Dido, Ilioneus will proceed with the tale, for my voice fails me. Dido—“Yea, my good friend, for I understand what effort must be thine to renew in speech these horrible deeds. Proceed Ilioneus. Ilioneus—“The cruel Pyrrhus approached with his companions to the palace of Priam. They forced an entrance and wended their way to the room where Priam was. Pyrrhus himself, struck down the defenceless old king and hacked his body before the eyes of his spouse, Hecuba; but not before he had slain the wounded Polites, before his father’s dimmed old eyes.” Dido—“Oh gods, it is my dearest wish, that thou shalt some day punish the Greeks for the havoc they have wrought.” Aeneas (Resuming the tale)—“How it was that I reached the gate safely, I know not. But to my crushing sorrow I found that my dear wife,Creusa, had become lost in the flight. I had taken her from the burning palace with my father, Anchises, and my noble boy, Ascanius, and now she was missing. I returned to seek her, but her ghost-” Dido—“Her ghost! Was she then foully murdered?” Aeneas—“She had lost her way. She urged me not to return to Troy, but to flee quickly with our son. Half-blinded with grief 1 obeyed her wishes, and remained concealed in the crevices of Mount Ida until the danger had passed. Page Seventy-time AENEAS IN CARTHAGE Continued Dido—“The tortures thou must have endured-------But where didst thou go from Mount Ida?” Aeneas— We sailed in the early summer and arrived at Thrace, but we did not remain there long, for we were alarmed by the omen of a bleeding thicket over Polydorus’grave. We then consulted Apollo at Delos and according to his instructions, settled in Crete. Dido—“In Crete! but why didst thou not remain there? Aeneas—“A pestilence drove us to seek other shores and we went as far as Epirus. To our great joy we found Helenus and Andromache there. Heienus is a son of Priam and he had founded a new city of Troy. We remained there a few days and set off laden with gifts, but with Helenus’ prophecy still ringing in my ears. Dido—“And pray what was the prophecy? Aeneas—“Helenus assured me that I was on the right course, and revealed to me certain omens which I would perceive. He begged me never to give up the idea of founding a new nation.” Dido—“True were his words, though they will cause me great sorrow when I realize that thou canst not remain here, always. But proceed, I am listening attentively.” Aeneas—“We pursued our way near to the coast of Sicily, and there we rescued a companion of Ulysses. We had to retrace our steps however, to avoid a horrible monster Polyphemus by name, who would surely have destroyed us. Landed at Drepanum, my aged father, Anchises, worn out by sorrow and old age, quietly and sadly left me to pursue my journey. Dido—“The poor old man! Be grateful that he was spared to thee for so long.” Aeneas—“Aye, that I am. Finally as thou knowest, I was cast upon this hospitable shore. My courage was almost gone. It is now seven years since the burning of Troy, and I am not yet at my journey's end. Seven years, and I still relive in horror that awful slaughter! Dido— Do not lose courage my friend, thy glory is yet all before thee. Thy tale hath interested me greatly, though I regret that it has grieved thee to relate it. But come now, cast aside all cares, and be joyful for the present. Let us watch my attendants dance in giving praise to the gods that Aeneas and his companions have been so long unharmed. (Here a dance takes place and the final curtain falls during the dance, leaving Aeneas in Carthage for the present.) (The End.) Page Eighty Mary M. Rattigan.

STONES FOR HONOR What kindlier fate has creature known Than God assigned to simple stone? To lie the daisy rows between Cooled by the lichen’s silver green; To fence broad fields where sowers sing Their harvest hopes in early spring; Or, happier still, to shoulder well A home where little children dwell. Nay, some that solemn rite achieve Which corner-stones of shrines receive— But oh, the kindliest lot of all. That may the meanest stone befall: To feel Christ’s Blood and Body rest Serene against its altar breast. If God loves stone so, what shall span His prodigalities to man! — Edward S. Pouthier, S.J.

For in this rose contained was Heaven and earth in little space: Res Miranda! By that rose we well may see There be One God in Persons Three: Pares Forma! The angels sang, the shepherds too: Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gaudeamus! Leave we all this worldly mirth And follow we this joyful birth: Transeamus! CONSOLATION “The world within my saddened heart Is clouded everywhere. Till all the gloom is riven apart. By the golden shafts of prayer.” FRIEND, WHERETO ART THOU COME? Lo, I am there in Gethsemane’s hush, And I now may stop one blood-red drop, Or turn the press till the life-wine gush; And Christ kneels waiting for me. And my fingers are picking the sharp thorns now; One less may be pulled or one may be dulled; Or all may poignantly pierce His brow; And Christ sits waiting for me. —Francis P. Donnelly, S. J.

A TRIBUTE TO OUR PARENTS UR PARENTS! Mother and Dad! Two magic words which stand for all the love and happiness of our young lives. We are not content with just a Mother's and a Father’s Day, so we are writing this tribute to express the personal love and gratitude we have for our Parents. In most cases it has been a great sacrifice on the part of our parents to send us through four years of Catholic High School training, and we cannot thank them enough for this opportunity. Many girls would give anything for a chance to be in our places, but cannot. We thank God more for our parents than for any other gift of His bestowing, and ask Him to leave them with us for many years to come. Dorothy G. Brennan. Page Eighty'six TD all those who have helped us to make The Xavier a reality, we now wish to say our A sincere Thank You. As we peruse the treasured volume, we shall ever read into its lines the self-sacrifice of our Teachers, the devotion of our Parents, the co-operation of our Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, and the generosity of our Patrons and Advertisers. To all of these we feel deeply grateful and we embrace this opportunity to say whole-heartedly. We Thartl( You. Mary M. Rattigan. Page Eighty-seven FAREWELL TO ALMA MATER OUR farewell to Alma Mater is simply a prolonged note of gratitude. For we really are not leaving Alma Mater. We are taking her with us in our love, our loyalty, our ideals. We shall ever cherish the holy memory of our self-sacrificing and devoted teachers, and the sincere and happy friendships of our classmates. Therefore, as the time of parting draws near, we say not Farewell, Alma Mater, but simply—We love you, Alma Mater We thank you for the high and noble ideals that you have made ours We go forth only to return with new laurels for your already illustrious brow. ND in response to her children's pledge of love and loyalty, Alma Mater sends them - forth with her blessing. As a fond Mother lays her hand upon her beloved child’s head and prays God's holy Benediction on the life-work of the little one, so Alma Mater does to each of you today. Feel the tender strength of her motherly hand protecting you, dear children, and listen lovingly as she prays for you in the words of the great Cardinal Poet, John Henry Newman: Catherine T. Brock. ALMA MATER'S RESPONSE “May He support you all the day long. Till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, And the busy world is hushed. And the fever of life is over, and your work is done! Then in His mercy may He give you a safe lodging. And a holy rest, and peace at the last! Glennys C. Marr.
