 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.

 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

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
