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

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

 MARY THEODORA LALLY 38 Dixon Street Providence Behold “Miss Personality,” a favorite not only among her class' mates, but also in the school at large! The Class of ’30 are proud of this popular member, for Mary has proved herself to be an intelligent and sociable classmate. Imbibed with a true spirit of loyalty, her genuine enthusiasm and whole-heartedness for the success and pros' perity of her “Alma Mater” have served as an example for the other students. Mary possesses a disposition and character far above the ordinary, and her sparkling laughter and jolly wit have gained for her the affectionate respect and esteem of all her classmates. We are confident that Mary will gain a place of prominence in her field of endeavor. We trust that her attainment may justify her noble efforts. GENEVIEVE ISABELLE LEFEBVRE 8 Lookoff Road Edgewood “Gen” is the sw-eet'dispositioned Miss who tirelessly devotes her time and efforts towards making our entertainments a success, with her lovely contralto voice and unexcelled piano execution. An ex' cellent athlete and successful as well, and a capable business student are qualities w'hich have made Genevieve favored by us. To our questions concerning her future plans, she replies that she will con' tinue a business career, but we are inclined to think that she will sometime become an opera singer. She will be a credit to her Alma Mater in any field. MARY ELIZABETH LOUGH 589 Cranston Street Mary is remarkable for the sunshine she radiates, that in her, our class has a bright, witty and willing member. In studies, French seems to be her preference. Who knows but that one day she may be Mademoiselle's efficient assistant? A very likely prophecy, nest'ce pas, Marie? Providence We realize LORETTA RAPHAEL LUBY 256 Dean Street Providence Loretta is one of the esteemed members of the 1930 Class. When the splendor and glamor of graduation are over, she certainly will be missed at S. X. A. Quietness and earnest study are her chief char' acteristics. A ready hand at all times is extended to further the interests of class and school. If the adage, “A smile will go a long way,” holds, Loretta's career in the world is w elhassured. She pre' sents a sweet personality and an amiable nature, which make and hold friends. Page Twcyxty'threc
