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

 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

LOUISE ELIZABETH JONES Beach Avenue Conimicut “Brown, wavy hair And eyes of blue. Put them together And you have ‘Lou Louise has been our efficient secretary for the past three years. She is bright, cheerful, vivacious, and extremely popular. Her record is above par and is rarely, if ever, excelled by her classmates. While her friends are many, she and Mary Mac have earned the sobriquet “The Twins, for they arc inseparable. Into whatever field “Lou may enter in after years she will find friends and will spread sunshine, ALICE CATHERINE KEEFE 140 Ontario Street Providence “She is blonde and very tall And very popular 'mongst us all. Isn't she distinguished looking! Who is she? The President of our Class, the girl whom everybody loves. Alice, besides being a most capable leader, has proved herself a wonderful friend; one who forgets her own difficulties by helping others out of theirs. She excels in English, and her ability in writing themes is unsurpassed. In fact, Alice has so many good qualities that it would not be easy to sum them all up in this small space. She has not yet made her plans for the future, but we know’ that whatever she does, or wherever she goes, the best wishes of the Class of '30 follow her. MARGARET LOUISE KEEGAN 12 Elmcourt Esmond “Peg O' My Heart is Margaret. Nothing more complete than this song and play could ever have been written to describe our much admired Peggy. Happy-Go-Lucky, but underneath it all a rare scholar. She is very prompt especially at lunch, and what is on the “menu always satisfies her (?) Peg is determined to be somebody's stenog and we'll guarantee she will be one hundred per cent more efficient than “Tillie the Toiler.” MARY ELIZABETH KELLEHER 36 Landor Street Providence “To look on the bright side of life is to look on the right side.” It is true that Mary looks on the right side, for glee, giggles, and wit follow' wherever she goes. Her loyalty to Alma Mater and her classmates is proverbial. Our History period would certainly be dull if it weren’t for Mary's contributions of whys and wherefores. Mary intends to become a nurse and we can see where some people will take sick suddenly? We are sure her helping hand in its usual way will lend its ready aid. At Mary's departure she will have left at S. X. A. a sweet for-get-me-not. I Page Twcnty'two
