DEDICATION To His Holiness, Pope Pius XI + In vision ’neath Saint Peter’s dome, Our loving hearts rejoice in Rome; In humble reverence sincere, With gratitude for Holy Year, Now prostrate at our Pontiff’s feet, In lieu of better tribute meet, We lay our Xavier. Your Holiness, make joy complete, Accept our gift of efforts best, And bless your children of the West, For Christ, our Savior. Margaret Elizabeth Fox. To Most Keverend Bishop Keoiugh + While Easter joys still filled the air And springtime birds in early choir With bursting sunbeams here and there Made bright the way—our hearts' desire— We, too, joined in this festal lay The students all of S. X. A. Alleluia! Alleluia! We welcome you, our Bishop, Guide, The pledge of God’s eternal love. Not “orphans” long, but spirits tried, We looked with prayerful hearts above, And now our loyal greeting say, The Graduates of S. X. A. Alleluia! Alleluia! FOREWORD Reluctantly hut inevitably we approach the day of graduation and turning sadly we look back upon the four happy and all-too-quickly-spent years at S. X. A. Of these fond recollections we seek to make a lasting memo- rial in the publication of this, the eighteenth volume of The Xavier. To you dear Sisters, loving parents, and kind benefactors all, we of the Class of 1934 make this final expression of love and gratitude, and by the pano- rama of the various fields of activity and endeavor in which our vigorous, earnest efforts have been crowned so successfully, we leave this tablet of permanent and lasting memory. Evelyn M. Walsh. Vistas of beauty, memories sweet Cheer us and gladden us on our way; Ideals that beckon and lessons that linger Forever and ever an echoing lay. ST. XAVIER S CONVENT AND ACADEMY MEMORY LANE CHAPEL LIBRARY RECEPTION ROOM SCIENCE LECTURI- ROOM CAFETERIA AUDITORIUM ART STUDIO Our Lady of the Campus All through the summer, she watched for our coming. Waited and prayed that the time would be short, Eagerly cared for each flower in the garden, Promised reward for the deeds we had wrought. Then, in the fall, from the campus she beckoned, Whispered encouragement, dear to each one, Asked us to let her be proud of our actions, Filled us with confidence in her dear Son. Snow fell, and winter commenced with all fury, Blankets of white lay caressingly near. Still, from her lofty abode in the garden Mary smiled down and calmed every fear. Springtime brought forth all new life in her honor, Birds, buds, and blossoms sang melodies sweet, So, in return for her love through the months past We, in our turn placed a Rose at her feet. Now, we can see just how fond she is of us, How, through the years she protected us all— From the first days to the last she’s been with us Winter and summer and springtime and fall! Ruth J. Fou.ett. Mother, how that word unites us, Prayer and thought and act are thine; Called to fill our lives with beauty, Mary’s gift for Mary’s shrine. MARION IRENE ACHESON 703 Dexter Street Central Falls, R. I. Marion is one of the brilliant students of our Com- mercial Class. Her efficiency in Shorthand and Typ- ing. her excellent English themes and Spanish transla- tions prove this statement. She has been our faithful secretary for two consecutive years. We all know Marion will be a credit to her Alma Mater in the future. Best wishes from your classmates, Marion! Secretary, 3. 4: Art Club, 4: Aquinas Study Club, 4; Secretary, St. Francis de Sales Literary Society, MARY GERTRUDE ALLARD 51 Walnut Street East Providence, R. I. Tiny and true is our Mary. Her name has always been first in our class, first on our basketball team, and first in our hearts. Versatility, personality, and dependability arc recognized in the person of Mary. To be a true student of St. Xavier’s, Mary had to be exceptional, and she was. May her future be as bright as the class of ’34 predicts. Glee Club, 3; Basketball 3, 4; Siena Study Club 4. IRENE MARIE ALARIE Leading Street Johnston. R. 1. A ten cion! What memory this Spanish word re- calls! It brings before us our capable leader at phys- ical exercises, Miss Irene Alarie. Irene is one of the brightest of our girls, excelling especially in poetry and short story writing. She is the Managing Editor of the school paper, The Xavierette, which was issued for the first time this year. Irene’s one ambition is to be a short-story writer, but no matter what field of work she chooses she will be most successful. Aquinas Study Club, 4; St. Francis de Sales Liter- ary Society, 4; Xavierette Staff, 4. MARY VERONICA BANIGAN 155 Colfax Street Providence, R. I. Mary joined the rank and file of S. X. A. as a Freshman. She is a |x pular girl in the class. She is well-known for her ready smile and her quick re- partee. She is always generous and helpful and her lessons show intelligence and ability. When Mary leaves us. she intends to study nursing. We wish her a glorious career. Glee Club, 1; Basketball Club, 2; Dramatic Club, 4; Loyola Study Club, 4; Tennis Club, 4. [26 GLADYS ELEANOR BERRY High Street Woonsocket, R. I. Gladys has distinguished herself at S. X. A. So- cially, she has endeared herself to all; while as a student, she has won the admiration of her classmates and the approval of her teachers. The years should hold no fears for one so ready now for responsibility. Aquinas Study Club, 4. HELEN CLAIRE BOLAND 21 Duke Street Providence, R. 1. Helen is the personification of merriment. She is almost always laughing and her enthusiasm for mischief reaches an anti climax in a study period. She is one of our outstanding pupils in all her lessons. The old saying: “A True Friend is Forever a Friend” applies to our dearest friend Helen. With her pleasing manners we feel certain she will be a charming teacher. Basketball Club, 4; Dramactic Club, 4; Siena Study Club, 4. ANNA ELIZABETH BOGUE Wood Street Oakland Beach, R. I. Ah! We now meet the smiling, witty, clever girl who hails each day from Oakland Beach. Although she delights in social activities, she by no means neg- lects her school work. We are all certain that Ann’s luture career as a nurse will bring joy and comfort to all her patients. We, the class of ’34, wish you good luck, Ann. Aquinas Study Club. 4; St. Francis dc Sales Liter- ary Club, 4; Xavicrcttc Staff, 4. SUSAN ELIZABETH BRECKEL 210 Pearl Street Providence, R. I. Susan has long enjoyed success as a result of her industrious nature. She attracts one and all by her winning manner and charming personality. Alma Mater will have cause to regret the departure of this young miss, whose interests are with Kentucky and home. Surely such talented and cooperative girls as she. arc none too numerous. Naught but future triumphs can possibly await her as a progressive alumna of S. X. A. Vice-President.

I. Hast Greenwich claims our Betty. No doubt you have heard the saying, “Small towns give birth to great men. Her recitations, especially in English anti History, make it evident that her fun docs not inter- fere with her scholastic duties. Whatever the future holds for her, we are certain her loving disposition will continue to gain for her friends and success. Loyola Study Club, 4; St. Francis dc Sales Liter- ary Society, 4. IRENE LORETTA BRODEUR 12 52 Mineral Spring Ave. North Providence, R. I. The epitome of sweetness is Irene. Talent, she has an abundance of it. This is proved by looking at some of her paintings, which arc worthy of any art gallery. Like all true French girls, she has a flair for the original. Perhaps some day Irene will have a lovely shoppe on the Rue dc la Paix and on the door will be Modiste Irene. At any rate, what- ever Irene chooses to do will be successful, and everyone wishes her Godspeed. Good luck, Irene. Secretary, Art Club, 4; Aquinas Study Club, 4. MYRTLE ALICE BRESLIN 107 Second Street Hast Providence, R. I. Efficiency is the mark of our treasurer. A com- pleted task is the preparation and result of each day's plan of work. A faithful Latin student, a devoted representative of the class in every subject. Myrtle just as readily and easily dons her gym ap- parel and helps the Seniors to carry off the victory. Myrtle's shyness hides her greatness but the truth will prevail.

BARBARA LEE BUTLER 95 Rochambcau Avenue Providence, R. I Barbara is tall and slim with a pair of huge blue- eyes, a deep musical voice and a gurgling laugh. She is a conscientious student, a born mimic, a talented banjoist, and a class favorite. Proficient in many re- spects. it is sufficient to say that Barbara is the ideal of the perfect classmate.

Pawtucket sent us Mary to add another good student to our number. A high aim has kept Mary on the head of our class list and a sense of humor wins her entrance into every group. There seems to be no favorite subject, for every class finds Mary int rested and prepared. The business world will be benfited by such an addition to its corps. Glee Club, 3: B. E. S. T. Club, 4; Aquinas Study Club, 4 HOPE ELIZABETH CASSIDY 71 Ayrault Street Providence, R. 1. Happy, cheerful,—yes, you guessed it. Her win- ning ways and mirthful laughter have gained for her a place in the hearts of everyone. She has attained good marks in all her subjects. Chemistry, however, is the favorite subject. We feel that Hope, in her life work as nurse, will bring comfort and cheer to her patients! Loyola Study Club, 4. ary Society, 4. MARY ELIZABETH BYRON 111 Reservoir Avenue Providence, R. 1. Mary is a charming, studious girl, reliable and re- sponsible. Excelling in history and dramatics, Mary also adds to any program with her beautiful voice. The punctuality and industry that marked her prog- ress through S. X. A. prophesy a happy future. The class of 1934 wish you success, Mary. Glee Club. 3, 4; Dramatic Club, 4; Siena Study Club, 4; St. Francis dc Sales Literary Society, 4. MARIE NATALIE CASEY 2058 Broad Street Edge wood, R. !. Fair skin, brown hair, and blue eyes combine to make up the facial appearance of our Natalie. But. what is facial beauty compared to such a lovely disposition? Appreciative of good fun, excelling in every course, Natalie claims an enviable position. Did she not win the award for writing a one-act play for Vocation Week? Bern Voyage, our playwright, on the journey of Life. Secretary, 1: Glee Club, 1: Dramatic Club, 4; Siena Study Club, 4; St. Francis dc Sales Liter- 29] MARIE TERESA CLAIR 680 Prairie Avenue Providence, R. I. If the old adage “A smile will go a long way” holds good in life, Marie's success is assured. Marie is never in a hurry hut she manages to complete her tasks. Her ability at the piano is acknowledged and her work in art has also been recognized. Her good- natured disposition and her many timely witticisms have left in their wake a multitude of friends. Some school children will have a kind and considerate teacher. Orchestra, 2, 3, 4; Art Club, 4: Siena Study Club, 4. FRANCES MARIE COFFEY 26 Bridgham Street Providence, R. I. Here she is! Glance this way and take a good look at our smiling representative from Elmwood. A cheery disposition and unbounded confidence were the elements in her success, Frances’ friends acclaim at S. X. A. Franny is also gifted with artistic ability. The art club is very happy to have her as a member. She intends to further her scholastic career at R. I. C. E. and wc are sure that she will succeed. Siena Study Club, 4: Art Club, 4; Tennis Club, 4. Club, 4. ELIZABETH MARIE CHARLES 88 Williams Avenue East Providence, R. I. East Providence’s loss was St. Xavier’s gain when Marie transferred last year. During her short stay at St. Xavier’s she has l een a willing helper to all her classmates. Bookkeeping is Marie’s favorite sub- ject, but she expects to further her education in the study of music. We know that she will succeed in the future as she has in the past. Aquinas Study Club, 4; Basketball, 3. MARGUERITE LOUISE CLARK 64 Dartmouth Avenue Providence, R. I. Blonde hair, hazel eyes, a genial smile and a tinkle of sweet laughter introduce our Peggy. I Ier charming and vivacious personality has graced our school for four unforgettable years. Her friendly and lovable manner has cheered many a heart. Excellent marks have been her goal and success has crowned her work at S. X. A. We all know that through the journey of life the acquaintance of our inimitable Peggy will benefit all. Cheer Leader, 3; Siena Study Club, 4; Tennis 130 EILEEN MARGARET COLEMAN 4 Academy Avenue Providence, R. I. Quiet, kindly, serenely calm is Eileen always. She arrives, but without worry or haste. Eileen enjoys many outside activities both social and sport, espe- cially driving and tennis but her school work never suffers. Her ability in Math and French is something to be envied. Either R. I. C. E. or R. I. State will enjoy Eileen’s presence in the fall. Eileen leaves S. X. A. with the Class of ’34’s wishes for her success. Siena Study Club, 4; Tennis Club, 4. MARY THELMA CONNOLLY 43 Rowley Street Providence, R. I. “Left, Right! Left, Right!’’ A feminine step can be heard and has been heard for three years marching triumphantly through S. X. A. With the same steady tread Thelma will march through life to a successful goal. Her speed and accuracy at typing indicate that some day Thelma will hold a very responsible position. Glee Club, 3; Aquinas Study Club, 4. MARY ELIZABETH COMPTON 27 Health Avenue Providence, R. I. Laughing, vivacious, and always pleasing is our Mary. Whenever there is a happy crowd gathered together, our smiling attractive Mary is usually in the center. Yet, there is a serious side to Mary when seriousness is the order. She is always full of fun, but still her studies arc never neglected. Mary in- tends to matriculate at the Rhode Island College of Education. We wish her success. Orchestra, 2, 3; Loyola Study Club, 4; Dramatic Club, 4; Tennis Club. 4. DORIS IRENE COOPER 46 Duncan Avenue Providence, R. I. The perfection of dependability, the criterion of poise, the acme of intelligence are all recognized in Doris. She is essentially artistic as may be seen throughout the Xavier; and her musical talent has won for her the distinction of being student director of our outstanding orchestra. An ardent and studious nature earned the inscription of her name on the Honor Roll throughout the school year. Doris, we arc certain, will attain the highest that this life can give.

I. With her shining black hair, big brown laughing eyes, Betty has won the hearts of all the girls. Betty’s favorite pastime is asking questions. And how she can ask them! Betty intends to be a dietitian and 1 am sure she will be a success. She is always ready and willing to lend assistance in any school affair, with her unique dramatic ability. We wish Betty the best of luck. Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; President, 1; Loyola Study Club, 4; Dramatic Club,4. VERONICA MARY COUPE 23 Union Street Lincoln, R. I. This miss has the honor of being numbered among the twins of Saint Xavier's. She was blessed with the great gift of personality which has gained for her a great number of friends during her stay here with us. She has also on different occasions displayed her knowledge of the French language. Besides her good rating as a student she also has an ideal soprano voice which has helped make class meetings more enter- taining many times. Siena Study Club, 4; Literary Society, 4. MARY MAGDALEN COUPE 23 Union Street Lincoln, R. I. Picture a “petite miss with shiny, golden hair, sincere blue eyes, and a happy, ready smile Add to this a sunny disposition, a true-blue heart, a con- scientious student, a faithful, loving friend, a gen- erous, whole-hearted spirit, an honest, reliable char- acter, and the result is—Magdalen. St. Xavier's is giving up a precious little pearl, but the prayers of St. Xavier’s will always attend her, encouraging, strengthening, leading her soul to God—her Eternal Aim. Siena Study Club, 4; Literary Society, 4. MILDRED ESTHER CUNNINGHAM 14 Emmett Street Providence. R. I. Next to “taking her time, Millie likes basketball, and is doing her best to “jump” to a happy future. Her ability at sports is indicative of her lessons. She seems to realize that a complete education must de- velop the pupil spiritually, mentally, physically. For in everything does she put her very best efforts. Aquinas Study Club. 4; Art Club, 4; Basketball, 4. [32 ROSE MARIE CURCI Bo lston Street Warwick, R. !. We all know Rose by her encouraging word and her loyal spirit. In four years’ time, she has won a host of friends who will ever remember a sunny dis- position and a hopeful heart. It is with sadness that we say adios to one so true. May the years to come bring her all the happiness and joy that belong to a real “friend. Aquinas Study Club, 1. MARY DOLORES CUSICK 5 Vesta Street Providence, R. I. Old Alma Mater will surely miss a beam of sun- shine when Mary leaves. Although she has taken a commercial course, Mary intends to enter St. Joseph’s Hospital in the fall. So here’s good luck and best of happiness to you, Mary! Aquinas Study Club, 4; St. Francis dc Sales Liter- ary Society, 4. ANN MARIE DE ANGELIS 25 Grosvenor Avenue Providence, R. I. Here is our jolly and charming Ann who wins the friendship of all whom she meets. A small portion of height and a large portion of wit characterize this Miss. Beautiful brown hair and a gracious counten- ance picture for us quite vividly our Ann. Whatever the future may hold for her, we are sure she will meet all difficulties creditably. St. Francis dc Sales Literary Society, 4; Basket- ball, 4; Siena Study Club. 4. 33] LORETTO ANN DEMARCO 165 Tangent Street East Providence, R. I. During her three years at Saint Xavier’s, Lorctto has been kind and considerate of others, a lender with a helping hand, one who makes friends and keeps them. I ler chief aim is to make people happy. Loretlo excels in Chemistry, and we know that she will make good use of this subject when she dons her white uniform in the fall. Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Siena Study Club, 4, St. Francis dc Sales Literary Society, 4. ELSIE VERONICA DEPARTHY 106 High Street Valley Falls, R. 1. Curly hair, sparkling eyes and an invariable smile introduce Elsie to us. A loving pal and a faithful friend, she has won the hearts of her classmates. Each day for four years she has traveled from Valley Falls, and always arrived on time. She has made her mark through her steady perseverance. Her favorite study is French, and she also has ability in art. We know Elsie will do honor to Alma Mater in the future. Siena Study Club, 4; Basketball, 2; Glee Club, 1. DOROTHY EILEEN DONNELLY 18 Elmhurst Avenue Providence. R. I. “Dot” is one of our indefatigable Seniors who allows no obstacle to stand in her way in the pursuit or knowledge. She is such an all round student that it is impossible for one to describe all her sterling qual- ities. As a proof of her charming personality we only have to |H int to her multitude of friends. Her un- failing courtesy and kindly consideration of others will do much for the success of any career upon which “Dot” intends to launch. Secretary, 1; Glee Club, 1; Loyola Study Club, 4; Tennis Club, 4. JANE GERTRUDE DEVLIN 158 Church Street Woonsocket, R. I. What a long trip Jane took each day in the cause of Catholic Education. She did this act as she did all others, smilingly and graciously. Jane has always shown an attraction for French, but in her city they purlcz well. No definite plans have been discovered about Jane's future but we know that the cause of Catholic Action will continue to be important and dear to her. Glee Club. 3; Loyola Study Club, 4. RITA AGNES DOOLEY 60 Elmcrcst Avenue Providence, R. I. A girl with a genial smile and a ready wit is a fitting description of Rita. In working out Algebra problems she is a genius, and she paints with the touch of an artist. Her ability as an orator has been displayed in the Siena Study Club. May the future be kind to you, Rita. Siena Study Club; Glee Club, I, 2, 3. 134 MARGARET MARY DEMPSEY 230 Althea Street Providence, R. I. Margaret’s middle name should be “Smiles,’ lor she is invariably pleasant anti cheerful. She possesses a ready wit and a humor that is always refreshing. Her kind words have brightened many dull moments. Margaret is proficient in many things. She is a con- scientious student and one of the leading violinists of our orchestra. Earnestness and seriousness point to a happy career. Orchestra Club, 2, 3, 3: Siena Study Club, 3. ETHEL MAY DUNPHY 193 Webster Avenue Providence, R. I. Let me present, Ethel, our cool collected Senior. But don't be misled; for if gales of laughter arc heard in some secluded corner, Ethel is probably entertain- ing. Her wit, good-nature, anti generosity, have en- deared Ethel to all who know her. F.thel hasn’t de- cided what she intends to do, but some higher in- stitution will be matle fortunate by enrolling her among its students. Glee Club, 1, 2. 3; Dramatic Club. 3; Loyola Study Club, 3; Treasurer, 3. SOPHIE AGNES DUDZIK 23 Herschcl Street Providence, R. I. Sophie's cheerfulness, laughter, and love of studies make her a model classmate. Her generosity is an- other great characteristic, for she is willing to help anyone who seeks her. History and chemistry seem to hold her greatest attention. Sophie intends to be- come a nurse. She has our best wishes for success. Loyola Study Club. 3: Xaiicr Staff, 3. ANITA CECILIA DUQUETTE Logan Street Oakland Beach, R. I. Quiet and demure arc the adjectives that best de- scribe Anita. She came to us three years ago and we were delighted to welcome her. Anita is efficient in all her lessons, but especially in bookkeeping. We highly recommend her as a capable and accurate bookkeeper. She goes forth from S. X. A. with the best wishes of the class of ‘33. May her future life be as successful as the years of her school life. Aquinas Study Club, 3; Art Club. 3. 351 MARY ELIZABETH EARLEY 100 Wentworth Avenue Edge wood, R. I. This tall, stately Miss is always ready with a prompt answer when called upon to recite. She is an apt and earnest student who neglects no subject. Many honors have been showered on this earnest, dignified Senior, and we feel sure that future years will prove that they were merited.

HELEN PANCRATIUS FARIA 101 Ocean Street Providence, R. 1. “Pansy as she is known to her friends is neat, quiet, and studious. She excels in art and is also musically inclined. Helen speaks softly, but her merry laughter can be heard everywhere. She may well be called the helping friend. Though Helen does not say definitely what she will do on leaving S. X. A. we may surmise what her high aim is. The best of luck will follow you, Helen, on your road to success! Art Club. 4; Orchestra. 3, 4; Siena Study Club, 4; St. Francis de Sales Literary Society, 4. BERTHA MADONNA EMIN Georgiavillc Rhode Island Yes, indeed, this is Madonna, the pride and joy of our class. Besides being a leader in her studies, she is also an accomplished musician, being a student of the piano, violin, and organ. If there is an example in Algebra which seems almost impossible to solve, you may rest assured that Madonna will find its solution. Oh, what would we do without you. Ma- donna’ Wc arc curious about your future but wc are certain of voui success. Glee Club, 1; Orchestra, 2, 3, 4; Sicn Study Club, 4; St. Francis de Sales Literary Society, 4; Xavier Staif, 4. DORIS VERONICA FARRELL 194 Niantic Avenue Providence, R. I. Doris is an enviable girl in the sense that she pos-, scsscs so many accomplishments. Her ability at the typewriter is surprising. Some day she will lx- re- returning to demonstrate, wc feel quite confident. Aquinas Study Club, 4. [36 ANTOINETTE MARIE FERRI 478 Atwells Avenue Providence, R. I. A sincere and loyal friend is our classmate Etta. Her policy seems to be laugh and the world laughs with you. English is her favorite subject, but her high standing in all her subjects has won for her esteem and friendship among all who know her. She shows her ability in Physical Culture and music. As yet, she is undecided as to her future, but we are sure that whatever she undertakes will receive her sinccrest efforts and undivided attention. Basketball, 2; Glee Club, 3, 4: Lovola Study Club, 4. HELEN LOUISE FLEMING 189 Houston Street Providence, R. I. Helen is above all else a student. Her record in Mathematics is excellent as one would expect from her earnest, deliberate, inquiring nature. Helen is looking towards R. I. C. K.

CATHERINE JANE FARRELLY 53 Lisbon Street Providence, R. I. A tall, attractive blonde with calm, blue eyes, a magnetic personality and a willingness to help others is our Catherine. What should we ever have done without her checrtu! society Three years have not diminished Catherine's simplicity of manner, but have added the charm of womanly grace and dignity. Catherine’s patience, perseverance, anti self-sacrifice foretell a life full of deeds well done. Siena Study Club. 4; Athletic Club, 4. VERONICA MARY FLAHERTY 12 Hymer Street Providence, R. I. This bright little Miss is our joy bubble. Ever happy, carefree, anti gay, she helped to keep our spirits high. We shall never forget her as black Sambo in one of our best plays.

For three long happy years Marie’s red-gold hair has brightened the ranks of the Classical Division. We first saw this famous scholar, one September morn in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred thirty-one, dash onto the campus of our beloved Alma Mater and straight into Latin books and Al- gebra problems, emerging two months later with a report card overflowing with A’s. Conscientious, generous, ambitious, but very humble is our Marie. Siena Study Club, 4: St. Francis de Sales Literary Society, 4; Librarian of Senior Dramatic Club, 4. RUTH JOVITA FOLLETT Elm Avenue Shawomet, R. I. Look, here she is, “Ruthie, Vice-President of our class. Ruth’s refined disposition has won tor her a place in the hearts of her classmates. Among her subjects, she holds Spanish above all. Ruthie also ranks high in sports. Adios, Ruthie. We all know you will find success in whatever field you choose. Aquinas Study Club, 4: Basketball Club, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club. 4; St. Francis de Sales Liter- ry Society, 4. URSULA MARY FLYNN 185 Mt. Pleasant Avc. Providence, R. I. Anyone who knows our President, Ursula, will appreciate the choice of the English Division. Ursula is blonde with bright laughing eyes and a sweet smile. She is ever kind, ever considerate, ever thoughtful. An exemplary student, an exemplary classmate, in short our President possesses all the qualities that make the epithet true. President, 2, 4; Vice-President, 3: Loyola Study Club, 4; Xavier Staff, 4. ROSE SELVENA FORD 209 Point Street Providence, R. I. Rose is a concrete example of the expression “true friend. She is so sincere, so helpful and so dex- terous that one is always sure of her support. These characteristic qualities will be for her future career, assets that bring about rare opportunities which we know call for recognition where real worth is ap- preciated. 1 ler sweet, charming personality will be one of St. Xavier’s greatest losses. Art Club, 4; St. Francis de Sales Literary So- ciety, 4; Aquinas Study Club, 4; Xavier Staff, 4. [38 ESTELLE VIVIAN FOREST 46 Bridgham Street Providence, R. I. Report cards prove her “a real student.” Her pet studies are typing and Spanish. We all know wherever she matriculates after graduation, S. X. A. will be proud of her. Adios, Estelle! May you be as successful in your future, as you have been at S. X. A. Aquinas Study Club, 4; Art Club, 4; St. Francis de Sales Literary Society, 4. MARY ROSE GAGNON 560 Third Avenue Woonsocket, R. I.

She has steered many a struggling ‘‘puella through the turbulent waters of “Virgil. A beautiful memory is such a personality.

Myrtle A. Bresljn. r,i| Class History of '34 The drama, “Seniors' Review,” renewed pleasant memories of our Academic years as students of St. Xavier’s. The first act takes us to the portals of St. Xavier’s, where we find a group of uncertain, frightened, and timid freshmen. They are directed to the old hall where they arc arranged alphabetically and shown to their respective classrooms. Before long we find them study- ing Latin, Algebra, and other “difficult” subjects. Many of them dared to join the Orchestral and Glee Clubs. Gymnasium and Expression furnished them diversion. Their first visit to the auditorium was to welcome a notable guest, the Mother General of the Sisters of Mercy, Mother Mary Carmelita, from Washington. Their second was to attend an excellent vocal recital given by Rev. V. C. Donovan, O.P. One of the well-remembered social affairs was the Senior dance and fashion-show, the first of the kind ever witnessed by the Freshmen. Rev. Fr. Hughes’ discourse on Francis Thompson and the Glee Club Cantata brought nineteen-thirty to a close. After the Christmas Vacation the Freshmen were introduced to mid year examinations, which were followed by an inspiring retreat given by Rev. f. P. Gibbons. On Feb. 12, Pope Pius XI delivered his first radio message to the world and St. Xavier’s listened attentively. Later in the same month they saw the motion picture of the Oberammergau Passion Play. The Freshmen appeared before the combined group of faculty and student-body for the first time at the Freshman Assembly. Hard work on the part of the Sisters and girls resulted in a successful performance. Final examinations and reports soon came and lo!—the curtain falls on the first act of the scholastic career of the Class of 1934. When the curtain rises again in September, the girls are divided into three groups: Classical, English, and Commercial. Classes began and studies progressed as usual. The Mercy Day Pilgrimage and Class Election followed. In October they attended a motion picture of “Columbus in the New World.” Father Donovan made his annual visit. Then came the glorious Pageant celebrating the Centennial of the Foundation of the Sisters of Mercy, an event which will remain fixed in the minds of all who witnessed it because of its symbolic nature and beauty. Some time later, Dr. Walsh gave a lecture on Mexico and Russia. A renowned writer of the present day, Mrs. Kathleen Norris, next visited the Academy. Much credit went to the Sophomore Class and the Orchestral and Glee Clubs for the excellent success in the Sophomore presentation. This ended the principal events of the Sophomore Year, and the curtain dropped again. The third act finds the girls one year nearer their desired goal. At the Columbus Day assembly, our late Beloved Bishop honored the school with his presence and gave a brief address to the student body. Later on Rev. Father Ranaghan acquainted the girls with Chinese habits and customs. Mother General revisited St. Xavier’s. A spiritual director. Rev. Gerald F. Dillon, came to St. Xavier’s. A beautiful retreat was given by Father [62 Donovan. In March, Vocation Week was observed for the first time. Another occasion of interest was a course in social etiquette by Mrs. Theodosia Crosse. The remainder of the year went along as usual until school closed for the summer vacation. The last and most important act was the Senior Year. The girls made their last Mercy Day Pilgrimage to Our Lady’s Shrine. Religion classes and The Mercy Truth Crusaders began under the supervision of Rev. Father Dillon. The Seniors presented ‘'Bernadette of Lourdes” in assembly both to school and public in honor of the canoniza- tion of St. Bernadette. A shadow was cast over the Academy by the death of our late Beloved Bishop, William A. Hickey, D D. The Christmas play, “Eager Heart,” met with approval by all. After the girls returned from the holidays they took their last mid- year exams. Father Dillon conducted a successful retreat, which helped prepare many for future life. The work for the publication of the Xavier then came due and the Seniors realized what a responsibility rests on their shoulders. A dramatic recital of Schiller’s “Mary Stuart” was presented by Mrs. Theodosia Crosse, under the direction of the Rosa Mystica Players of the Academy. With fond memories merging into present day happenings, the “Seniors’ Review” draws to a close and they prepare reluctantly to leave the portals of their beloved school, Saint Francis Xavier Academy.

Ah— youth! Granny loved to watch her young granddaughters come bursting in from the great outdoors, rosy cheeks, laughing eyes, with the freshness only youth knows. Granny laid down the treasured bit of silk and sat back against her cushioned chair. She wanted to become, once again, a young girl full of dreams; to go to school and share secrets with her classmates. She wanted to relive her days of youth and walk through the campus, arm in arm with dear friends. They were days of happiness to Granny, touched with a tinge of sadness, yet sweet beyond words. It was three o’clock and in another hour, the peace and quiet that was now hers would be no more. Merry children returning from school would fill the rooms with happy laughter and boisterous play. Granny realized that unless she acted now, she would remain just a poor old grandmother, where she could have been once more a blithesome girl. She left her place by the window, and passed softly through the hall. She climbed the stairs with uncertainty, yet each step took her back a year. She had to stop once or twice to rest, but it did not discourage her. Granny was marching back to her youth! Her destiny was finally reached. In the attic, she stopped and looked about inquiringly. Then she walked resolutely to a coiner occupied by a dusty, worn trunk. It was in this trunk that Granny would find the years of youthful happiness which were once hers. The old rusty trunk squeaked as the lid was opened. Granny settled herself on a low stool and one by one took out the precious trinkets that had been placed there so many years before. Her wrinkled hands became smooth and white as she slipped a class ring upon her finger. A bit of lace was tucked into the ring case. The lace taken from her first party dress. Granny remembered. It was the last time she had worn the class ring, the first time her diamond was slipped upon her finger—the diamond she was now wearing. All her school books were there. She opened them. They looked familiar with slips of paper placed between the pages. Many roses pressed and faded fell into her lap as she lifted the books that had been so important in her life. Those years in a classroom came swiftly back—pages were marked for homework lessons. Ah, yes, she had spent many nights studying, writing, preparing lessons for the coming day. In fact, she was doing her home- work now. This was her room; she was seated at her desk. She must get that geometry problem at the bottom of the page, the one marked, for tomorrow.” How strange, she could not do it! But then, she recalled that it was over fifty years since she had mastered geometry, and that she needed a great deal of “brushing up. Granny laid the books aside and leaned over the trunk to see what other surprises awaited her. She lifted a garment, once as white as snow, but now yellowed with age. 67) Her graduation gown! The cap—yes, the cap was there too. She held them close to her. They brought back happy and proud memories. She reached in the trunk again, and brought out two rolled papers tied with crushed ribbons. One was tied in blue and white; that was her diploma. The other was tied in red; that was—Granny could not remember. She untied the ribbon, which fell into shreds at her touch. She unrolled the heavy paper so yellowed with the years. In large gold letters, she read: “CLASS PROPHECY OF 1934 Granny looked away. It all came back to her. She had been requested to write out the class prophecy for her class during her last year. Afterwards, it had been given to her as a special gift, and Granny regarded it with high esteem. She took out her spectacles and wiped them with her apron. She would read the names of the girls who had been her dear friends during her school days, and try to recall them as they were then. She read: CLASS PROPHECY OF 1934 Marion I.

Her classmates seemed to be stand- ing before her as they had so long ago, talking and smiling with an understanding only- girls can portray. Granny smiled and nodded back. Suddenly voices were heard below. “Granny! Granny! Where arc you! She hurriedly put back her treasures, and descended the attic steps. No one would know that she had stolen up there for one hour to be young again, just as her grand- children were. She would go to them, gather them to her, and say: “Children, children, did you think your old grandmother had gone away Come, and we shall see what we have for you in the bread box.” Irene Marie Alarie Louise Claire Sullivan Mary Jane Quirk 170 Class Will We, the Class of 1934, being of sound and disposing mind, and wishing to fulfill our last duty satisfactorily, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and test- ment. TO THE TEACHERS, we bequeath: 1. Our sincere gratitude for their untiring efforts to instill into our minds and hearts the highest ideals. 2.

Our promise to co-operate with her in all her activities. TO THE JUNIORS, Our Worthy Successors: 1. That great characteristic—Senior dignity. May you uphold it as we have always done. 2.

The pleasure of transcribing your shorthand notes after a speed test. It really can lie done. Take it from those who know! 6. The impossible accomplishment of having a Minstrel Show. If done, we will say that you are vastly superior to us. 7. The art of being nonchalant when you walk before the underclassmen in caps and gowns on class day. 8. Our best wishes when you sit before the camera—with a serious and dignified look! 9. The opportunity of upholding the name of the Seniors at Basketball.

The sweet pleasure of learning all about the typewriter and writing with blank keys. 3. The joy of learning the double-star theorems in Geometry. We came through this ordeal with a smile. Can you? 4. The deep and splendid spirit of loyalty to Alma Mater, which we have always dis- played. 711 5. The honor of defeating the Seniors in a game of basketball. Judging by past events we really do not believe it can be done. 6. The joy of having your home room in the new building. 7. I hat period of anguish when you try to transcribe those “stranger than hieroglyphic” shorthand notes. TO THE FRESHMEN: 1. The chance to make that great decision—Classical? Commercial? or English? 2. I he privilege to accept those envious looks from the Seniors who must leave the walls of dear St. Xavier’s. 3. The joy of donating the swimming pool promised to the Academy by the present Sophs. 4.

No thought of threnodies that please, No will for vibrant elegies, We write a loving simple verse That grateful children all rehearse. His way led on to joy transcendent; His will to find the Light resplendent; For lofty bore he standards high, And dauntless was his battle cry. He tripled generous talents given; He bore o’erflowing hands to heaven. ’Twas God’s own mercy gave release; 'Twas God who crowned his life with peace. Requiescat! Rita T.

JUNIORS I JUNIORS II SOPHC IORES FRESHMKN I FRESHMFN 11 The Juniors 1933 ushered in a class, ready and willing to lend a helping hand, eager to uphold Alma Mater’s reputation. Enthusiasm ran high when a story contest was announced. And, we are proud to say, a junior won the well-earned prize. Actresses, singers, dancers, authors, sportswomen—these qualities and more, make up our ambitious juniors. The greatest event in the 1933 history of the class came in March. You had only to witness the production of “Geraldine,” to find therein the secret of their success. Saint Patrick certainly felt honored on this occasion, and I’m sure that if the happy Juniors had the time, they would only be too willing to honor every Saint individually. Ssh! The Juniors have an additional boast. They will be the Class of 1935, and the largest class to leave the portals of S. X. A. Ruth J. Follett. The Sophomore year, one step nearer to the great goal of the coveted role of Senior, has arrived to approximately one hundred seventy students. Many of the Sophomores have the privilege of having attended the Academy last year as Freshmen, though a large number have been welcomed to our portals this year from Diocesan Junior High Schools. Two Classical divisions, one English, and two Commercial divisions compose the Sopho- more classes. Indeed, they have shown true school spirit throughout the year, in that they have done all in their power to promote beneficial social activities such as private sales and a Military Whist. They are promising athletes as has been obvious in their competitive interclass basketball games. One of the dramatic successes of the year was the Sophomore Assembly, a most entertaining feature, which was enjoyed by all. Literary ability has found an outlet in the Sophomore Gazette” and in contributions to the school paper, The Xavierette. Success awaits these Ioval students. Myrtle A. Breslin. The Freshman Class The Freshman Class began its official St. Xavier’s career on the memorable date of September 11, 1(933. Approximately one hundred and two pupils entered, with the ambi- tion of furthering their education. After the customary opening for the year of studies, the Freshman Class was divided into three distinct groups, and each assigned a home- room. Following a few days of preparation and of making acquaintances, studies were immediately recognized with earnestness and seriousness. Class elections followed and class activities commenced. Many delightful programs were given by the different groups during the past year, representing memorable occasions. The outstanding program was the annual assembly, which was conducted the week following Easter. In accordance with the season, it was an Easter presentation, consisting of singing, dancing, and dra- matization. Examinations appeared promptly every quarter, and received excellent results, dis- played by the Honor Roll. We hope that the present Freshman Class will continue its splen- did work and untiring zeal, so that it may merit worthily, its future title Sophomore.” Josephine M. McMurrouch. 811 Catholic Action was the watchword Of our clubs and social days; Charity and friendly feeling Increased the charm of gracious ways. Reverend Gerald Dillon Our Spiritual Director The Organizations No school is considered complete these progressive days without a variety of clubs. The freedom of planning and presenting a program under encouraging supervision devel- ops responsibility, initiative, and a helpful cooperative spirit. Study clubs, social circles, and athletic activities present a diversified program. Prayer, work, and charity saw spiritual and temporal activities result successfully in increased intellectual effects. Thus education becomes a very attractive, interesting, and spleasant process. , Helen C. Boland. (M The Mercy Truth Crusaders Carrying on the Catholic Action that is such an urgent plea of Our Holy Father has proved itself to Ire a pleasant task. Under the supervision of our Spiritual Director, Reverend Father Dillon, the three Study Clubs, formed last year, have been continued by the entire body of the Senior Class of 1934 The meetings held Friday mornings at 11 o’clock, were conducted by the Siena, Loyola, and Aquinas club members. The object of the clubs was the study of the Mass. We first considered it as a whole from an academic viewpoint: its importance, origin, and significance. Then we treated of the various parts, explaining their individual origins and symbolisms. With the singing of the “Veni Creator” the meeting was formally opened. Then followed three theses and a digest cf each paper. The topic was now opened to dis- cussions and questions. Reverend Father Dillon then summed up the matter considered, pointed out any errors, or developed more fully any points he considered incomplete. The entire class then sang the “Magnificat” which brought the meeting to an end at 11:45. Need I add that we are deeply grateful and appreciative of this unusual opportunity of learning more of the background of our Liturgy and of being able to answer our Holy Father’s plea for Catholic Action just as the original Crusaders answered his plea for military action in protecting and defending the Faith We sincerely hope that those more fortunate Crusaders who have obtained their reward are interceding for us and for the successful furtherance ol this task which we have assumed. Susan E. Breckel St. Francis de Sales Literary Society The St. Francis de Sales Literary Society is not entirely new to the Academy. It is merely a reorganization of an older club which has long been dormant. The original society was founded in 1887 by Sister Margaret Mary, whose memory is still dear to all who were privileged to know her. It is interesting to note that Mother Mary Matthew, our Mother Provincial, was at that time a Senior in the Academy and the Literary Society s first president. The club was dedicated to St. Francis de Sales, who is the powerful patron of many literary projects. At first it functioned entirely within the Academy, but due to the continued interest of graduates who returned regularly to its meetings, the group rapidly developed into an organization of considerable proportion, which came to be known as the St. Francis de Sales Reading Circle. From this source have sprung two of the leading Catholic Women’s Organizations in our diocese; namely. The Catholic Woman s Club and the St. Francis Xavier Alumnae Association. The purpose of the revival of this Society is self-evident. We have undertaken the publication of a school paper, which is published monthly and which is known as the Xavierette. The organizat'on of an adequate body of interested students would naturally increase the facility of compiling, publishing, and distributing the paper. Thus the Xavierette and the Literary Society walk hand in-hand. The Xavierette may be called the product of the Literary Society—its masterpiece! We hope that our readers have enjoyed the first volume of our school paper and we wish for its rapid progress with greater triumphs in the years to come. 85] Evelyn M. Wai.sii The Rosa Mystica Players Rosa Mystica! The words themselves are pleasing to the ear. To Catholic ears what a depth of hidden meaning they convey! Rosa Mystica! We love the name. We feel Our Lady must love it. That is why we, the Dramatic Clubs 1, 2, 3, 4 of St. Xaxier’s Academy, have placed ourselves in Mary’s protection under her title “Mystical Rose.” This year, for the first time, each undergraduate class has its own Dramatic Club. The purpose of the Dramatic Club is to give members the excellent opportunities of voice culture, the attainment of poise and the ability to make a favorable appearance in public. Membership has been granted to anyone desiring it. The Dramatic Clubs have presented several plays during the school year, whose success was due in great part to the untiring efforts and invaluable assistance of Mrs. Henry J. Donovan, the teacher of Expression. The feature presentation of the season was 1 heodosia Crosse in dramatic recital of Schiller’s “Mary Stuart.” The Rosa Mystica Players had the privilege of sponsoring this event. We are proud to say that the Rosa Mystica Players were among the first to join the Catholic High School Dramatic League, which is now functioning under the auspices of the Providence Visitor. The League has been formed in response to the wishes of Our Holy Father to promote Catholic Action. The League will hold a contest annually in which the diocesan high schools will compete. A prize will be awarded to the school presenting the best one-act play. The best boy and girl actor will receive an award. 1 he school winning the prize three successive years will obtain a trophy. A glorious future is ahead for the Rosa Mystica Players. The Senior Dramatic Club is certain that each succeeding class, through its achievements, will add beauty and fame to our beloved title, “Rosa Mystica.” 186 Norma C. Orme. The Orchestra Our orchestra, consisting of thirty five gifted members, adds materially and culturally to the school activities. To the numerous requests for music at assemblies, dances, and entertainments, it has responded generously. The fine interpretation of the music and the high degree of unity of orchestral voices is due to conscientious practice, and, above all, capable leadership. What would the orchestra he without the untiring efforts of our highly respected and beloved director. Professor J. Henri Faucher? The inspiration and true artistry of his almost phenomenal execution on the violin gives us a guiding light in the field of music. Through graduation our orchestra will lose fourteen valuable members, but the com- petency of our successors will make up for the loss. Heartfelt wishes go to our professor for spiritual and temporal happiness, accompanied by a belief in future triumphs for our orchestra. The personnel of the Orchestra: Director Student Leader .

Felicitous results were obtained which were exhibited in the closing of the club, the presentation of the operetta, “Wild Rose.’’ Dramatic ability as well as good voices brought a happy termination to the musical year. Mary J. Quirk. 188 The Art Club Outstanding among the many features offered is the Art Club. It has proved an incentive for those artistically inclined and here they are developing individual talent. Each day the Art Studio on the top floor is graced by girls in decorative smocks, sitting at their easels—veritable budding artists! These oil classes in groups of six to eight girls are so arranged that each girl can advance according to her own particular grading. The parents of the girls have expressed their pleasure as each picture is finished to adorn the house or be given away to some dear friend. Judging from the big enrollment and steady attendance, Art holds a place of honor in the students’ estimation. Mary A. Smith 89] The Faculty Auxiliary To insure good condition and the beautiful appearance of the Academy and its sur- roundings a new organization was formed. The Faculty Auxiliary is a group of students composed of the four officers of each class. Their aim is to cooperate with the teachers in cherishing a love for the beautiful. Students take their turns in inspecting the premises to see that good order and neatness prevail. The Auxiliary so far has been most cooperative and efficient. Evelyn Cecilia Lynn j90 The Basketball Team Basketball seems to have aroused even more interest at S. X. A. this season than in previous years, according to the turnout of players and “fans.” Under the guidance ol Miss Gilmartin, our able coach, both class and division games have been played, giving all members a chance to earn their letters. Angela Varas, fast and clever forward, was elected captain, and has led her team to victory so far this seaosn.

The Features The auditorium is a center of school activity. While interesting lectures, pictures, rehearsals bring the entire student body to attendance there are no exhibitions more enter- taining than the assemblies sponsored by the different classes in turn. These theatrical attempts have merited not only constructive criticisms but very often unstinted and merited praise. Closely connected with the course of study, as the themes of many of these assemblies are, they arc no little aid to educational progress, especially in poise, public speaking, and to some extent character building. Helen M. Harrington. Spiritual Director's Day Friday stands out among the days of our school week for the fact that our Spiritual Director, Reverend Father Dillon, devotes a period to instructing and guiding the girls on their paths in life. The whole school assembles in the auditorium eager to hear the important weekly message. Father has spoken on several topics, all entertaining as well as instructive. The value of Apologetics was made clear to the girls, that the undergradu- ates may appreciate that subject when they reach their Senior year. Outstanding among Father’s talks was his Lenten instruction, which we can never forget. We Seniors say that we envy the undergraduates who may look forward to many more inspiring “Con- ference Days.” Kathleen M. Sullivan. We were privileged in having Reverend Father Dillon for our Retreat Master. His beautiful conferences were most inspiring, compelling us to meditate seriously on death and vocation. The atmosphere was peaceful and silent. All were giving themselves up wholly to God for those three precious days. When the Loving Saviour looked down upon us from the monstrance, and the bell rang out softly, we bowed in deep reverence. At this time of Retreat many hearts heard the Call. Father Dillon explained clearly that wherever our happiness lies in following God’s Will, we are sure to find it there. This time of being entirely with Sweet Jesus ended all too soon. Always, we looked forward to Retreat. Now, our last Retreat at Alma Mater is o’er. Let us carry away in our hearts the desire to keep on looking forward—and upward. [94 Helen P. Faria. Pilgrimages After we leave school, 1 am sure that every girl’s heart will grieve when Mercy Day and May Day come around. The simple ceremony is so touching that no one should like to give up such a treasure which occurs only on two days throughout the entire year. The Act of Consecration is read in unison, followed by the never-to-be-forgotten hymn Loved Mother” which grows lovelier each time it is sung. Then, a gift of a lovely rose is given to Our Blessed Mother from each girl, symbolic of the love each has for her. A memorable day never to be forgotten by the girls of Saint Xavier’s! Jeannette G. Marchesseaclt. The Foreign Missions In carrying out Our Holy Father’s request for Catholic Action, the classes have formed committees for the foreign missions. Once a week, at class meetings, a student reports on the activities of the missions. Although the Far East is the most popular mis- sion magazine among the students, nevertheless, our pamphlet rack contains those of world wide interest as The Sign, Catholic Missions, Truth, and the Missionary. Many events as schools dances, basketball games and bazaars have been held for the benefit of the missions. The pupils arc really trying to do their part for the Propagation of the Faith. Evelyn E. Shanley. 95] Music week carries us on wings of song into the magic Land of Melody. The talented members of the Glee Club presented for our enjoyment, a musical comedy, “Wild Rose,” with gratifying success It showed intelligent cooperation between teachers and pupils. Beautiful melodies played by our orchestra under the direction of Professor J. Henri Faucher, enchanted us and increased our appreciation for the higher type of musical art. With opportunities, such as these are, no wonder we possess a great love for good music. Doris I. Cooper. Club Day The first Tuesday of each month the students at the Academy dispense with the regular routine of class work and the day is devoted entirely to the newly formed clubs. Each club has a presiding officer and a secretary and is conducted according to Parlia- mentary Procedure. These clubs have been beneficial as well as enjoyable to the pupils. 1 hey have sup- plied outside information as well as relaxation and enjoyment. You may be sure that the pupils look forward to the first Tuesday of each month. Bertha G. Kennerly 196 The Xavierette Without a doubt, the Xavierette has now gained enough prestige to guarantee its occupying a permanent position as the school paper. Each month it becomes more interesting and complete. It has gradually built up a system, whereby the latest and choicest news is published. Many of the articles arc enter- taining and worthy of praise. May it grow and prosper in the years to come! Anne Lyons Current Events The students of St. Xavier’s Academy are afforded many sources of information on current events. The arrival of the Queen’s Worl{ each month, brings us a paper filled with very interesting reading matter. Each paper is more interesting than the last. The Young Catholic Messenger lends great assistance to History students and short-story lovers. Our diocesan newspaper, The Providence Visitor, held in the highest esteem by the pupils, was made the official guide for current events. Its pages arc filled with literarv and his- torical topics, which make it a token of interest to teacher as well as to pupils. And the weekly issue of Uncle Sam's Diary brings us in direct contact with the world in Washington. Sadie T. Kavanaugh 97] Play Day On play day the formal closing of the basketball season at St. Xavier’s takes place. It is the athletic display of the year. On this day the best players arc presented with letters. The best team is presented with a trophy on which its name will be inscribed. Basketball games take place and then there is a play-off. Races arc held, competitive games played and the art of good playing is demonstrated. It is in short a review of the whole year’s work before enthusiastic spectators. Grace T. Sullivan Health Day Physical education, an important feature in the Academy, was seen in exhibitory effect in the closing exercises held in the auditorium in May. One day a week Mrs. Henry Donovan directs the calisthenics which are rehearsed daily at interclass periods. The program showed practical application of drills enhanced by rhythm, grace, and poise. Kathryn Cecilia Wynne Deo Gratias The close of Holy Year was marked by a special solemn occasion, an hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament in our magnificent cathedral. Through the kind thoughtful- ness of our Right Reverend Administrator, Monsignor Blessing, the students of St. Xavier’s Academy were privileged to be associated with the intellectuals, the cultured, the leaders of the diocese, the Reverend Clergy. We are grateful, appreciative, and mindful of this event, an act of thanksgiving for the divine institutions of the priesthood and the Sacra- ment of the Holy Eucharist. [98 N 1 A Parade What a glorious day! Banners waving, people crowding the streets, all traffic stopped, everyone crowding to see the NR A Parade. Out of the midst of all these thousands comes a group which in the distance seems like spots of black and white—then, as they come nearer the crowd discovers that they are Saint Xavier’s girls appearing in their dark blue uniforms with their immaculate white collars and cuffs. The Seniors arc a bit proud of their red ties and the undergraduates who are not quite so fortunate are proud that they belong to Saint Xavier's Then, follows a float in which religion, sports, music, and all phases of education are portrayed. “The best unit in line,” they said. And S. X. A. bows in recognition. Jeannette G. Marchesseault 991 Opening day at the Academy was a day of welcome in general assembly. The official opening, however, was Thursday morning when Holy Mass was said for the entire student body by the Spiritual Director, Reverend (Jerald Dillon. It was auspicious that the school year should begin with a Mass in honor of the feast of the Holy Name of Mary. Mercy Day was observed by exercises in the auditorium. Following the Act of Con- secration Reverend Father Dillon addressed the students on “Our Lady of Mercy,” the patroness of the Order of Mercy. After Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, each girl presented a flower at the shrine of Our Lady, a pledge of her love and devotion. “The (Jift of Montezuma,” a moving picture, a production of the Hcrshey Company gave an interesting history of the cocoa bean from the tree to its appearance as cocoa, milk chocolate, and chocolate bars. The month of October called the students to a very solemn assembly. The mournful tolling of the cathedral bell and the solemn draperies of the cathedral announced to the city that Our Most Reverend Bishop had departed this life. In recognition of this sad fact the student body met in a hushed gathering on the fifth of October to recite the rosary, led by Reverend Father Dillon, for the repose of the soul of our late beloved Bishop. The eve of Columbus Day was marked by the presentation of the Senior play. The primal intention of the assembly was to honor the Patroness of Columbus, the Mother of God, the feast of the day, then to commemorate the great discoverer, and to welcome the undergraduates, particularly the new students. The suggested program of the National Catholic Welfare Conference was the basis of the classroom observance of Catholic Education Week. Tuesday, November 7, was a day of general observance when the student body assembled in the auditorium. Miss M. Elizabeth Fox introduced the guest speaker, Reverend J. T. Fitzgerald, O.P. The subject of his scholarly discourse, “Education an Art,” was a model of oratory, philosophy, and spirituality. At the close of the lecture Miss Ursula Flynn expressed the appreciation of the audience. On this occasion also the awarding of prizes took place. The first prize, five dollars, presented by Mother Provincial, was won by Miss Evelyn Walsh, '34, for the best paragraph of one hundred words on the subject, “The Providence Visitor as a Factor in Education.” Miss Marie Hannon, ’35, merited second place. Book Week was celebrated by a general participation of the students in a literary contest which required the reviewing of the pamphlet, “Avelino” in less than 100 words. Fourteen prizes were awarded, one to each home room. The grand prize offered lor the best of the fourteen was publication in the Xavierette. The following were the recipients: Senior 1—Mvrtle Breslin; Senior 2—Elizabeth Earley; Senior 3—Mary Campbell; Junior 1 —Ellen Parkins; Junior 2—Mary O’Brien; Junior 3—Maureen Hannon; Junior 4—Loretta Emin; Sophomore 1—Margaret Kenny; Sophomore 2—Margaret Otto; Sophomore 3— Margaret McGinn; Sophomore 4—Mary Kelley; Freshman 1—Marie Cotter; Freshman 2 Mary Kelley; Freshman 3—Marie Sullivan. Grand Prize—Ellen Perkins. The Junior Assembly gave an excellent program on Tuesday afternoon, the twenty- eighth of November. The Literary Club of Division II gave very interesting dramatiza- tions from favorite books. Junior Division II displayed remarkable dramatic ability in the court scene Irom “The Merchant of Venice.” A very pretty number, “St. Cecilia’s Birthday Party,” was the contribution of Junior Division III. Colorful and attractive stagings enhanced the effects. 101] On the seventh of December, the coming feast was anticipated by a renewal of con secration to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the United States. The new pupils followed the custom of the Academy on that day by being invested in the miraculous medal of the Immaculate Conception. Reverend Father Dillon gave a practical talk on devotion to Our Lady and dwelt on the great event which would take place on the following day, the canonization of Blessed Bernadette. The exercises closed with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. A musical drama, “Bernadette of Lourdes,” marked the public observance of the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The following arc the characters of the play: Bernadette, Susan Brcckel; Mme. Soubirons, her mother, Mary A. Smith; Marie Soubirons, her sister, Irene Alarie; Jacques Soubirons, her brother, Mary Allard; Jeanne Abaddie, her friend, Mary Byron; M. Auguste Lacade, Mayor of Lourdes, Betty Couchon; Mme. Pauline, Mayor’s wife, Mary Quirk; Petronilla Dozon, doctor’s daughter, Ruth Kincade; Anita Jacomet, commissioner’s daughter, Ethel O’Brien; Countess de Soigney, Rita Murphy; Mme. Aline Millet, cousin of Countess, Sadie Kavanaugh; Louise de Soigney, blind daughter, Elsie Departhy; Uncle Sambo, Mary Flaherty; Crosine, maid to Countess, Ursula Flynn; Nino Fremo, harum-scarum, Norma Orme.

Peasant Children: Marie Sullivan, Helen Reid, Regina O’Brien, Officer, Virginia Powers. Angels: Frances Rattigan, Marguerite Clark, Helen Harrington, Elizabeth Fox, Helen Reid, Louise Sullivan, Mary Compton, Viola Nelson; Our Lady of Lourdes, Elizabeth Earley. The Senior Dramatic Club made its initial appearance in a public performance of the Christmas mystery play, “Eager Heart.” The ancient religious legends interwoven throughout, the religious atmosphere heightended by the Yuletide tone and spirit of the tale, the appropriate music, lighting and scenic effects, carried the story to the climactic tableaux. The principal characters were impersonated by Elizabeth Fox, Rita Kelleher, Louise Sullivan, Evelyn Shanley, Frances Rattigan, Kathleen Sullivan, Dorothy Giles, Virginia Govey, Evelyn Walsh, Evelyn Lynn and Helen Harrington. The Sophomore Assembly opened with an address of welcome by Miss Jane Toye followed by a boarding-school play, “While the Cat’s Away.” Between acts members of Sophomore Divisions I and II entertained with song and musical drill. “The Patriotic Girl,” a colonial play, changed the scene to the days of lovely old-fashioned customs and grace. It was a picturesque and pleasant performance. The Rosa Mystica Players, the combined Senior and Junior dramatic clubs, presented Mrs. Theodosia Crosse in a dramatic recital of Schiller’s masterpiece, “Mary Stuart” on Sunday evening, the twenty-fifth of February. The audience responded in particular to the final scenes when Mary bade farewell to her servants and w'ith stately courage marched to the chamber of execution. The choir music incidental to the scene added effectively to Mrs. Crosse’s acting. This music was composed for the Schiller piece by Mentor Crosse nationally known musician and husband of Mrs. Crosse. The Junior Dramatic Club gave a splendid presentation of the Irish musical drama, “Geraldine.” This was the first appearance of the Junior Club and incidentally closed their sessions for the year. The members of the cast were: Dorothy McElroy, Frances O’Rourke, Doris Bolton, Mary Murphy, Rita Costello, Margaret Donnelly, Rita Follett, Eleanor Hamel, Marie Cotter. The climax of National Vocation Week was the program presented on the last day of the week by the members of the Senior Dramatic Club. The prize play, “An Example in Algebra” dramatized by Natalie Casey and based upon the story of Sister Margaret Mary was given. The program also included short talks by the following guest speakers: [102 Mrs. Charles A. Grimes (Molly Gavin), “The Home Beautiful ; Mrs. Samuel Gilmore, “Motherhood ; Miss Helen Gallivan, “The Business Career”; Mrs. George Gray, “Social Service”; Miss Winifred Fitzpatrick, “Nursing Profession.” Elizabeth Fox gave the preliminary address and introduced the speakers. Reverend Thomas Cassidy gave the final talk, decisive and impressive, carrying a message of vital importance to every student. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament closed the morning. The Spirit of Easter was the the theme of the assembly presented by the Freshmen. The one-act play, “The Easter Guest,” called forth great applause as the little actresses quite naturally interpreted the story. A second number, “Yesterday, Today, and the Same Forever,” depicted the familiar story of Christ among men. Pretty specialties were given between the acts and a final tableau, “Our Lady of the Resurrection,” closed the splendid performance. An illustrated lecture, “The Chicago World's Fair,” delivered by Mr. Robert E. McMillan of the Central High School Faculty, found an audience most interested and responsive. The hour passed all too quickly. The Orchestral and (flee Clubs combined to give a brilliant musicale. 1 he operetta. “The Wild Rose,” was an artistic and colorful production. The orchestral numbers added precision, harmony, and melodious effects. The One-Act Plays closed the successful year of the Senior dramatic unit of the “Rosa Mystica Players.” This program was also the principal feature of the entertainment for Parents’ Night. The final appearance of the Class of 1934 in the Auditorium will be Commencement Day. At present a dream, it will lie a lasting memory of happy academy days. Evelyn M.

Rev- erend Leonard Feeney, S.J., of Boston College, made the first meeting memorable by his inspiring talk on “Everyday Saints.” The well known writer and poet, Reverend Michael Earls, S.J., portrayed Irish culture and literature in his timely subject, “The Land of Song.” Socials: A military whist proved to be very successful socially and financially. The annual reception at the Biltmorc was an outstanding and brilliant affair.
