 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

 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

 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.
