The X AV I E R I 932 EILEEN ANN EARNSHAW 677 Huntington Avenue Providence “Mire Vd.” one of the blondes of the Senior class. She has shown a splendid spirit in study and in taking active part in social and class affairs. Her favorite subject is Shorthand, and she excels in drawing. The Xavier’s pages are adorned by her sketches. A strong link will be missing in Eileen's chain when Marge says “au revoir.” MARY FRANCES EGAN 11 Elizabeth Street Valley Falls, R. I. We know Mary to be sociable, courteous, studious, lovable. Her artistic ability in dramatics has been displayed on many occasions. Especially did the Mercy Pageant celebration mark her fitness for the important role she filled. Her student ways combined with an unassuming manner and kindly attitude toward others, form a legacy which all St. Xavier's students might emulate. HAZEL EUGENIA ENNIS ✓ Fairview Avenue Warwick What nature failed to bestow in height, it made up with the gift of intelligence. Hazel is one of the bright Commercial Seniors. Beautiful brown hair, and a gracious countenance pictures for us quite vividly our Hazel. She ranks high in all her studies but is especially fond of Spanish and Typing. GERTRUDE TERESA FITZGERALD 114 Salma Street Providence, R. I. “Gert as she is best known to all is one of our favored seniors. With her sunny disposition she has gained the hearts of all her classmates. Dull, indeed by times would be the class without her pleasant jests. Gertrude has talent as a pianist and is ever ready to furnish the music at our class dances. Page Fifteen

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

■ tr g-g. g-erg-grggig-gt mn The X WIER 1932 CHRISTINE GERTRUDE FOLLETT Elm Avenue Shawomet, R. I. Unselfishness has characterized “Chris throughout her school life and has made her a real favorite. Too much cannot be said for our Vice-President; she is reserved, gracious and intelligent; “she is wise and good and fair. These lovely Southern lines are typical of her: “It's the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear That’s makin' the sunshine everywhere.” MARGARET CHRISTINE FRITZCHE 5 Stewart Street Providence, R. I. Surely you all know Senorita Margarita! She brings joy and cheer wherever she goes. She has a personality which has helped her to create many friends. Although small in stature, we all agree that “Good things come in small packages. We feel, that Margaret in her life work as nurse, will bring comfort and cheer to her patients. ELEANORA ROSE GAROFANO 1141 Plainfield Street Thornton, Mass. Though reserved in manner, we find Eleanora a loyal classmate of pleasing personality, and lady-like manners. She has many friends, and her innate good nature has endeared her to us. She ranks high in studies excelling in Typing and Spanish. A way all her own to collect class dues, is hers, and she needs that tact, as any Treasurer can testify. DORIS FRANCES GEDDES 30 Highland Street Pawtucket, R. I. Doris and Byron agree: “All who joy would win must share it.” Doris likes to make everybody happy. She is inventive in spreading sunshine all about. To quote from the following, describes her,— “Keeping folks happy, through comfort and cheer, Making folks better, just having her near, That is the story of Dotty’s school days And that is why folks love her,—God bless her, always.” Sixteen
