The. X WIER 1932 MARY RITA DEVINE 116 Ardmore Avenue Providence, R. I. When you hear a difficult question asked in History immediately comes a response from Rita. She is one of our studious classmates. Rita's pet subjects are History and typing. We can easily picture her as “somebody's stenog” producing splendid specimens of business letters, etc. Adios, Rita, and marked success, we know, the future holds for you. VIOLA PATRICIA DEVINE 7 Turner Avenue Riverside, R. 1. Because of sweetness and amiable disposition we love her. Those who have profited by her companionship will remember her as lovable, loyal, and true. Viola seems to show preference, in the line of study, for chemistry. Soon will the curtain of our stage of school life close but “Vi” will be ours for aye. HELEN MARY DONOVAN 183 Burrington Street Elmwood, R. I. If you have not the good fortune to know Helen, allow me to introduce our representative for Elmwood. She is ready for fun, ready for work, generous, affectionate, and true. During her four years we have learned to respect her as a high principled girl, and to love her as a kind and loyal friend. MARGARET GERTRUDE EARLEY 100 Wentworth Avenue Edgewood, R. I. Smiling, witty and clever, gentle, friendly and true; Always carefree and happy, and very courteous, too. Ready to help when you need her, with an ever welcoming hand; She radiates joy in every move with her lady-like manner so grand. Page Fourteen

Besides being an outstanding student, Mary shows her athletic skill in “gym” by her excellent and dexterous club swinging. Not only is she talented in physical education but she has an appreciative knowledge of music. As a pianist of fine execution she is a real asset in our orchestra. Every committee looks to her for suggestions. Her “quips and cranks enliven our recreations. LEONA MARY DEIGHAN 13 Magill Street Pawtucket, R. I. Leona, the girl whose cheery countenance chases away the blues, came from the big city” of Pawtucket. ’Neath her frolicsome manner, one may find a true sympathy, understanding, helpfulness and all that makes up Leona’s wonderful personality. Her dramatic ability is typical. We feel that she will help others to attain their goals. Commercial pursuits are her ambition. Page Thirteen
