 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

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

MARGARET CONSTANCE GRIMES 47 Nelson Street Providence This jolly young lady has won many friends because of her fun' loving nature. Whenever you hear her laugh, you know there is a “regular time” going on. However, at our Christian Doctrine period, the giggles are turned to questions to which she finds ready answers. Peg thinks it would be desirable to become a teacher, so she will aspire to higher studies at R. I. C. E. in the fall, where the good wishes of the class follow her. EVELYN CECILIA HANNON 182 Admiral Street Providence Who is one of the wittiest as well as one of the cleverest girls in the Senior Class?—none other than Evelyn. Her sparkling good humor and ever-present wit certainly have served to make us appreciate her value; without Evelyn our four years at St. Xavier's would not have been complete. She has gained the worthy recognition of her teachers, and the respect and love of her classmates, because of her ability as a student and an athlete. On various occasions, she has displayed her quickness and dexterity at basketball. Too, she has been called upon to entertain with her singing. She has a creditable standing in her studies, has made friends galore, and leaves St. Xavier's burdened with our good wishes. MARY TERESA HIGGINS 388 Mount Pleasant Avenue Providence Mary, our ideal girl, is loved by all. Her outstanding characteristics are a pronounced righteousness, a sympathetic interest in others, and a smile which enchants. It is a joy to listen to Mary's recitations, especially her French translations. Her ability for dramatics is much appreciated, and every play finds her in a leading part. It is the dearest wish of her classmates that the world will know and admire Mary as we do and as she deserves. URSULA FRANCESCA HOGAN 123 Ocean Street Providence If you do not know our Ursula you have missed a true friend. Ursula's charming disposition and pleasing personality has made for her a host of friends during her sojourn at “S. X. A.” Ursula's favorite studies are History, Spanish and English. Ursula has not quite decided as to what will be her career, but the best wishes of the class go with her. Page Twenty'Onc
