 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.
