 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

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.

 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
