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

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

 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
