THE XAVIER 19 3 6 VOL. XX OF SAINT FRANCIS XAVIER ACADEMY EDITED BY THE GRADUATING CLASS SISTERS OF MERCY, PROVIDENCE, R. I. CONTENTS THE INTRODUCTORY PAGES THE ACADEMY THE CLASS OF 1936 THE UNDERGRADUATES THE ORGANIZATIONS THE FEATURES THE ADVERTISEMENTS O FOREWORD It is with proud, yet saddened hearts that we, the Class of 1936, publish this twentieth vol- ume of the Xavier. It is to be the final tribute that we pay to our beloved Academy and Sis- ters. Although graduation thoughts fill us with happy expectations, our four years at S. X. A. have passed all too quickly. Through our year- book, we wish to thank from the bottom of our hearts, our parents, who have made it possible for us to be here: our teachers, who have borne so patiently with us: and all those to whom we are indebted for making our high school days so enjoyable and beneficial. As you read this book, we hope that it may be to you a souvenir of our Alma Mater, S. X. A., who has shielded us so carefully these past years. Catherine L. Leonard Most Reverend Francis Patrick Keough. D. D. DEDICATION A Tercentenary Tribute To the Most Reverend Bishops of the Diocese of Providence Others before today Have hailed you Leaders of the way: Others have watched the dawn Break through the darkness that ye gazed upon. Ye gave Rhode Island early light To guide her wandering sheep aright. History has told The glory of your actions manifold: The holy fanes, the halls of learning fair. The homes for young and old that rose up everywhere How clergy, nuns, and missionaries heard Your call to zeal, to spread Christ’s holy word. O Shepherds blest, behold, the whitening field Three hundred years of holy labor yield. Most Reverend Bishops, hail! In tribute meet We humbly lay our Xavier at your feet. Dorothy m. Coleman ■T5HnE MWER� i0 3 0 Rliocle Island and ears o The history of Catholic Rhode Island begins properly with the history of the Cathedral. It is true that Catholics visited this section, but they were, strictly speaking, transients. Owing to the troublous times in Great Britain, and a like spirit which seemed to come into the country with the immigrants, it is probable that Catholics may never have declared their faith. Certainly the spirit of adventure, the love of freedom, and the tenacity for the old faith, characteristics so dominant in the Irish, must have prompted many Irishmen to be in the lead among the emigrants from Europe. But there is little data until New England became a diocese. When Father Corry, a young Boston priest, came to Providence in the closing days of 1810. the Catholic congregation owned not a foot of land. In March, 1812, he succeeded in buying the section of land on which now stands our present Saints Peter and Paul's Cathedral, but it was not until December. 1817. the second Sunday of Advent, that the first Mass was cele- brated by Father Corry. It was the triumph of a long and arduous work, the realization of hopes long deferred and often blighted. Before this, every Sun- day in 1816 and 1817, Mass had been said in the Old Town House, where stands the present Court House. The year 1817 had been one of panic, espe- cially in Providence, and Bishop Fenwick had to make himself personally responsible for the indebtedness and completion of the new Church, for an appeal to the poverty-stricken people was useless. In the State, at this time, there were three wooden churches, at Pawtucket, Newport, and Providence, respectively. Two priests cared for the faithful throughout the State. When Father Corry was leaving Newport, in 1817. he praised the toleration shown by the citizens of that community to Catholicism. Irish Catholics play a prominent part in the history of the last century of Catholicity in Rhode Island. During the Dorr Revolution, from 1841 to 1845, Catholics were prominent, but the Church itself did not enter into the conflict. In the forties, the priests who officiated in Rhode Island were nearly all natives and most of them converts. Bishop Tyler was consecrated to the Hartford Diocese in 1 844. He took up his residence in Providence and served as pastor of the Cathedral. When he died in 1849. there were but fifteen priests in Rhode Island and Con necticut. Father Wiley, of Saint Patrick’s Church, was the first to celebrate a Pontifical Mass and inaugurate Holy Week services. After Bishop Tyler’s death, the diocese was without an overseer for more than a year: then it was announced that Rev. Bernard O’Reilly would succeed. He remained in Provi- dence only a little over five years, but in that time he had organized the diocese very thoroughly and trebled the number of priests. Everywhere churches were being erected. During the early fifties, the flood of Irish immigration increased greatly. In the basement of the Church, the children attended school under a lay mistress. In the rear of Saint Patrick’s Church a night school was begun. Bishop Tyler had been most anxious for the Sisters of Charity to come, but Bishop O’Reilly chose the Sisters of Mercy. Mother Xavier Warde and her small band of Mercy Nuns arrived from Pittsburg in 1851. THHOB 103© ■ A house was procured for the nuns on Weybosset Street and here work be- gan. Saint Francis Xavier's Academy, our own high school, had its beginning in this Convent, September. 1851. A second building was erected in 1856. The classes included every department from the kindergarten through the high school until 1910. when year by year the building was gradually given over to the increasing high school body. The present building, dedicated in 1929, permits the accommodation of six hundred students who come from every section of the State. Thus, we can judge from Saint Xavier's alone the im- portant factor the Order of the Sisters of Mercy has been in the development of Catholic Education. All down the years from the early days of Mother Xavier Warde to Mother Mary Matthew, the present Provincial of the Prov- ince of Providence, there has been constant progress, for the Sisters of Mercy are actively engaged in twenty-one Parishes throughout Rhode Island. Parishes were multiplied and several new churches were erected during the brief six years of Bishop O'Reilly's Episcopate. Then came Bishop McFarland to the See of Hartford. Despite the Civil War, the population of Rhode Island was growing by leaps and bounds. The increase in the Catholic body brought a corresponding increase in the number of churches. In 1879, Bishop Hendricken was consecrated Bishop of Providence, because in 1872, the Diocese of Hart- ford had been divided and Providence was made a separate See. Within two months. Bishop Hendricken had assumed the burden of the Episcopate which he was to bear for fourteen years. The most outstanding feature of his rule is the monument to his labors, one that will ever stand, SS. Peter and Paul's Cathedral, consecrated in 1886. On April 4. 1887, Rev. Matthew Harkins was consecrated Bishop of Providence. From the very beginning of his Episcopacy, Bishop Harkins bent his energies to the completion of the work which God had placed in his hands, and for thirty-five years was the spiritual director of the Diocese. Standing out at this time is the fact that Bishop Harkins especially cared for immigrants and did much for the progress of Catholic education. He exemplified the char- ity of the Church: and it was then that it was remarked by a judicious ob- server that Providence is the pearl among United States dioceses. In 1921. Bishop Harkins died. For two years preceding, he was assisted by Most Rev- erend William A. Hickey who was consecrated in 1919 as Coadjutor, with tight of succession. There had already been auxiliaries in the Diocese, Bishops Doran and Lowney, whose combined tenure of office was less than two years. In 1926. Bishop Hickey made his first announcement of plans for a Catho- lic Charity Fund. In the field of education, he stressed the need of Catholic schools. Outstanding in this development is our own Academy. No appraisal of the life of Bishop Hickey should overlook his zealous attitude towards the missions. In 1933, he was called to his reward, after having given his best to the betterment of the Church in Rhode Island. His absence since has been greatly felt and his kindly influence is missed by all.

Our Xavierette is also indebted to Margaret for contributions and her re- ports are excellent, especially her Latin mark. Although Margaret is one of the smallest girls in our class.

For Christ’s loving words we shall heed— “Ecce Mater Tua!” Our Mother has led us through childhood, Through girlhood and high school career. And now that our pathway grows wider We hear Christ’s sweet voice ringing clear— “Ecce Mater Tua!” Some days the road will be pleasant Again it will seem naught but dross Ah, then, may the words of our Savior Re-echo to us from His Cross— “Ecce Mater Tua!” And when through life’s highways and windings Our pathway to heaven we trace. May Jesus again in sweet accents Invite us to Mary’s embrace— Ecce Mater Tua!” Marguerite E. Cuddigan -t j THHOB ACVTIIEIR,� 103© « |78 Cl ass History As we stand in the shining splendor of graduation, it is with pleasure and happiness, yet with some sadness too, that we go down memory lane, and meditate on the joy and bliss we have found at St. Xavier's Academy. The first memories that come crowding back are those of our green tie” days. The first picture that comes to our mind is a picture of the school campus crowded with young people, Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores, some old and some new, then there were the Freshmen also. It presented a scene so new and bewildering to the Freshman but a very happy one for the upper classes. Sister Mary Hilda welcomed all the new students and greeted the old ones, then as- signed all to their respective class rooms. The first ceremony that comes to our mind was the visit to the chapel on Mercy Day and the presentation of the floral offering by each girl. After a while class elections were held and time of class meetings scheduled. On Octo- ber 11a visit was paid to the school by our late Beloved Bishop and the stu- dents presented a Columbus Day Program in his honor. During the course of the year Rev. Father Ranaghan lectured on Chinese Missions, and Mother General. Mother Mary Carmetita visited St. Xavier's. On the feast of the Immaculate Conception Rev. Father Dillon who had been appointed our spir- itual director, invested the girls in the miraculous medal and gave a sermon on the feast. After mid-year examinations we made our first retreat at St. Xavier's under the direction of Rev. Father Donovan. In February the Glee Club pre- sented the gypsy operetta entitled Chonita.” Later a series of lectures under the caption Social Customs was given by Mrs. Theodosia Crosse. In May the Freshmen honored Rhode Island Day with a short historical play. June finally arrived bringing final examinations and reports. Thus, our first year at St. Xavier’s closed and three more promising happy years loomed ahead. As we turn in retrospect to our second academic year, we find it was a memorable one. We mourned the death of our beloved bishop. Most Reverend William A. Hickey, and welcomed the advent of our present bishop. Most Rev- erend Francis P. Keough. In commemoration of the canonization of St. Berna- dette we witnessed the drama, Bernadette of Lourdes. Under the inspiring in- fluence of Reverend Father Dillon we were guided through a successful retreat. Vocation Week was commemorated by distinguished representatives from vari- ous professions who had succeeded in their chosen fields of endeavor. As a climax to the events of the year. Mrs. Crosse presented the dramatic recital, Mary Stuart. Thus before we realized, another year had sped by, and we looked anxiously towards the future. The next pause in the golden trail is at the memories of our jolly Junior hours. Could any thoughts be happier, could any bring more loving remem- brances? Once again we were established in S. X. A. and with class elections and other minor details soon completed, we set out to make it a rosy year . Our basketball team entered wholeheartedly into its practices under the capable and friendly guidance of Miss Rose Ratelli. As a result a well-trained Junior team entered into an exciting series of five games with the Senior team. After one defeat, one tie, and three grand victories, our captain rceived the shield and our players their B's . The first Junior class to accomplish such a feat, we o held the limelight in St. Xavier's sport world. Later in the year we suffered a defeat at the hands of the “Aces” an outside team. Our Junior assembly, “The Rainbow Kimono Club.” was a bright spirited affair with various colored kimonos adding to the cheerful atmosphere. To cultivate our interest in the missions Father Hubbard and Father Lcven spoke most zealously of Alaska and Oklahoma respectively. Mrs. Theodosia Crosse came once again to our bekSved academy to define and speak to us about personalities and their devel- opment. At our Junior dance, a fashion show was the chief feature. Mane- quins modeled costumes for any and all events from morning frocks to formal evening gowns. Father George Scott. O. S. F. C., was our retreat master and conducted a very inspiring retreat. Doctor Paulding’s dramatic offering gave us an appreciation of both acting and literature. Movies brought to us the Pas- sion Play of Oberammergau. Then the Xavierette staff took a trip to Boston to witness the noted “Pilate’s Daughter . Finally we came to the brilliant triumph of our Junior year, the presentation of the Lenten drama, “Patricia . With the memory of that beautiful play our third year at S. X. A. will always loom large on our horizon. The remainder of that year we devoted to regular school activities with as happy a feeling as at its beginning. The clearest, brightest, and dearest memories present themselves in the pic- ture so recently completed and fulfilled. Our Senior days are still of the pres- ent but soon they too will become a part of the memory trail we love so to tread. Our last year at S. X. A. did not begin until early in October, but we lost no time in entering into activities both social and academic. “The Jewels of Isabella” presented soon after the opening of school served as our first assem- bly. Miss Helen Slattery was introduced as our new gym and basketball teacher. Our basketball team defeated the Juniors in all of the three games which were played. Again we captured the shield and remained on the crest of the sporting wave. That clever fortune-teller, who read the tea leaves at the Senior dance, created quite a sensation! Scott's beautiful “Lady of the Lake” became quite realistic through the medium of moving pictures. The dramatic club presented two plays before the end of the first half of the year, one a modern playlet, the other an inspiring Christmas drama. December 27 proved to be the most thrilling night of the entire year. The Seniors were invited to the Alumnae Ball, and all who were in attendance declared that it was the “night of nights.” Scenes from Shakespeare presented by the New York Classic Guild left us all wanting to know more about the great writers the world has known. Fr. Cyprian, O. S. F. C, conducted the last retreat we will make at St. Xavier’s, and it was perhaps the most wonderful that has been given during our high school course. The “Personality of Mary” was success- fully studied at the weekly study clubs conducted by Fr. Dillon. The Lenten drama, “Pontia was given at the close of Lent by the dramatic club and later a Chinese operetta was produced by the Glee Club. Some of the outstanding privileges secured during our Senior year were: dancing after lunch in the gym every Friday noon: the new library opened, to be of great assistance to all the girls. Vocation week was celebrated by a poster contest, and a number of professional talks by well-known personages brought the week to a close. It was a grand year full of excitement and happy times. It was the fullest and most joyful of all four years, and yet it came to a close be- fore any of us could realize its significance. Perhaps there will never be another T5HDB' IERo 10 3© ° |80 year similar to it for many of us—but we will always have it to look back to in a most fond and loving manner. The beautiful day dreams have faded, and once again our thoughts return to the realities. Yet, how often in the days to come will we gladly stroll through memory lane—the place which will keep our happy times at S. X. A. in a special corner where they can never be forgotten! Dorothea A. Quinlan Claire L. Cuddy Margaret M. McGean Mary Ursula Whitehead In jMLemonam After four happy years, the class of '36 leaves Saint Xavier's, but not com- plete; for God called to Himself Mary, our fair-haired sunbeam, at the close of her Freshman year. In the short time that she was with us Mary won a warm place in the hearts of her teachers and classmates. We were privileged in having known her, but as God calls many to their heavenly home in the springtime of life, so He chose Mary as one of His choicest flowers, and on July 1, 1933, she joined the “Light of the World in eternity.

June 10th, 1946. the class of 1936 of Saint Xavier’s Academy held a reunion. We. as reporters for our individual papers and most important as members of the beloved class attended. We were greeted on all sides very cheerily. The faces were much the same, those well remembered smiles, the eyes, the features all so lovingly cherished in our memory; but there was a dif- ference, no longer were those childlike capers and pranks evident, no longer were flyaway curls and perky bows in sight. We finally came to the sad but happy realization that our beloved classmates had indeed grown up. Yet, before the evening was over, the recollection of former incidents and the laughter and wit seemed to trace back the years and again we seemed to be in the classroom, again we were with our beloved classmates and we seemed to know that never would we, in spirit, be separated from those beloved days. After gathering material for our different columns and collaborating, we found that we had the most complete extant record of the doings of the class of '36. It will be interesting to read the following list in the columns of next Sunday’s papers: Mary Virginia Allen........Private Secretary Lorraine M. Areson. . . Mrs. John Trimbel Barbara C. Arnold .

TO OUR TEACHERS: Our sincere appreciation for their untiring efforts to make us worthy of our beloved Alma Mater. TO THE JUNIORS: Seniority—every Junior’s next step. The privilege of having a Commencement Dance with permission. (That is, if you are as good as we were.) A perfect excuse for frivolity—the Alumnae Ball. One-hundred-twenty word certificates for high speed in Shorthand. The inestimable privilege and pleasure of studying Apologetics with Father Dillon and of becoming Mercy Truth Crusaders. The shield, to be kept in the possession of the Seniors, always. TO THE SOPHOMORES: The pleasure that comes when one realizes that she is a Junior. The opportunity of working in that mysterious place—the Chemistry lab. A chance for the commercially inclined students to try their hand at hiero- glyphics, in other words, Shorthand. The joy of defeating the Seniors at basketball. You know, it can be done. TO THE FRESHMEN: Recognition—at last! Permission to make the great decision. Classical—English—Commercial. The right to label someone else Freshie . TnHHE XAVIER-10 36 - |86 TO THE INCOMING CLASS: The strength and courage to climb either three or four flights of stairs in the old building. You’ll need it. The privilege of graduating in leap year like us, your illustrious forbears. The remainder and residue of our property both real and abstract, in- cluding erasers, mirrors and pencils, abstract ideas and intelligence will be sold at private auction to those who bid the lowest on the above-mentioned date.

Toye JUNIORS I XI le Juniors The Junior Class of 1936 stands before us! By their successful enter- prises they have proved themselves capable leaders and well-deserving of the title, Seniors. J hroughout their Junior year, they have displayed much talent. I he successful production of Kathleen confirms this. They have been dis- tinguished by having in their class for two years the S. X. A. publicist for the Providence Visitor. So it is with great confidence that we leave the Seniors of ’37, a loyal group, eager to uphold the reputation of Alma Mater. Elizabeth A.

Their newly formed bas- ketball team begins to show signs of future greatness. We feel that we are safe in saying that unmeasured success will be theirs when they arrive at seniority. Evelyn A. Earley eshmen The Freshmen may have come a month late but the little darlings cer- tainly made up for it by working harder than ever. The awed and bewil- dered expressions soon died from their faces as they began to realize that their school life had indeed begun. They soon made themselves indispensable to us and honored the Seniors as far as possible (for Freshmen) by wearing red ties in place of the usual green at the dances held in the gym. We know that these up and coming young ladies will distinguish them- selves in their loyalty to Alma Mater throughout the years to thirty-nine. Inez M.

Jane H. Toye Organizations The various clubs in Saint Xavier's Academy have proved both appealing and educational. Athletics plays an important part in the extra-curricular activities and provides healthy recreation as well as good sportsmanship. Initia- tive and self-confidence, so essential to all. are acquired through the dramatic and the study clubs. The success of our organizations is founded on the pray- ers and loyalty of the girls. Saint Xavier's, while ever advancing in education, makes student life more enjoyable through the activities of her clubs. Our Holy Father's plea for Catholic Action has not gone unheeded in our Academy. Every Friday morning at eleven o'clock, the Seniors, under the supervision of our Spiritual Director. Reverend Father Dillon, assembled to carry on the work of the Study Clubs which were formed in 1933. The meetings were conducted by the Siena, Loyola, and Aquinas Club members, in turn. The subject under consideration was The Personality of Our Lady. What subject should be nearer and dearer to the heart of any Catholic girl? We made a study of the whole life of Our Lady, stressing her virtues, joys, and sorrows. The meeting was formally opened with the singing of the Veni Creator. Papers were read by girls representing the voices of memory, imagination, in- tellect, and will. Personal reactions to the topic under discussion followed. Reverend Father Dillon then answered questions, pointed out errors, and devel- oped points which were considered incomplete or not clear. The singing of the Magnificat brought the meeting to a close at 1 1 :45. All too soon we find that the year has passed, but we are deeply appre- ciative of the opportunity we have had of studying the personality of Our Blessed Mother. After these inspiring meetings and discussions, we desire more than ever to imitate her. This is certainly a step forward in the practice and promotion of Catholic Action. M. Madeline Schneider Blanche C. Graichen THE .1930 198 T1 ie Xavierette Among our school’s outstanding boasts stands the Xavierette. Throughout the third year of its existence it has not only passed the creeping and toddling stages but also has grown beyond our hopeful expectations. Assisted to its feet by the student body, our little paper has been able to take commendable strides. It paved its way out of its cherished surroundings to the R. I. Schol- astic Press Association where it was deemed worthy of membership. Bon Voyage” wishes accompanied it across the expanse of ocean where it will be enrolled as a contestant in the coming world wide Vatican Exhibit. Scrib- blings, Personalities, Letter Box, together with our Moderator's Question Box are numbered among this year's new assets, while the article on Mother McAuley’s ideals still graces the pages of every issue. We extend our sincere gratitude to our Spiritual Director for the timely guidance always found in his column, and we thank all who contributed to our treasured publication. May the Xavierette continue to grow and make longer strides in future years. Mary B. Dolan TTHIIB- XAVIE]R.oi9 3 6 Mystical Rose! What a sublime tribute to our Blessed Lady!

Our debt may be cancelled by our admiration for her kindness and gen- erosity. Grateful recognition is also bestowed upon the Faculty for their untiring efforts in our behalf: to the Art students, who have so graciously bestowed their assistance in providing scenic decorations, and to all the loyal students of S. X. A. who have helped our dramatizations to be a financial success. So the curtain drops on the final act—the farewell to all that we hold most dear. We look back on our happy years of presenting plays with a lonely feeling in our hearts that we now must make our exit from the portals of the Rosa Mystica Dramatic Club: but we have a treasury of memories to carry with us.

Many girls, whose voices would otherwise go untrained, are enabled, by means of this wonderful club, to fit themselves for the future. No entertainment in our beloved Academy would be complete without the participation of the Glee Club. The girls are always willing and eager to help as is evidenced by their successful appearances in all school plays of the year. The greatest triumph, however, is the Glee Club's own outstanding an- nual production. This year the Willow Plate.” a Chinese Operetta, was chosen, and due to the enchanting music, beautiful voices, and splendid act- ing, was a great success. The cast was especially adapted to portray this charming theatrical, which tells the story of a Chinese Princess, who faced imprisonment rather than marry the man selected for her by her father, the Emperor, and whom she did not love. The ending is happy and the har- mony of this beautiful production will long linger in the memories of those who saw it, both for their gayness and for the marvelous quality of the voices of the girls in the Operetta. It is with heavy hearts that the Seniors leave the Academy, and they will especially miss the Studio, where many happy and profitable hours were spent in learning voice exercises and lilting melodies. May the Glee Club of next year enjoy the same measure of success that made nineteen hundred and thirty- six one of the outstanding years for this musical group! Mary M.

Every day groups of young artists in gay smocks paint to their hearts' content until a canvas is finished. The first exhibition of the club’s paintings, which was held last Novem- ber. was a real success and proved to be an incentive for the girls who appre- ciated art to test their ability along that line of work. The parents of the Art Club members expressed delight at the variety of form and color on each canvas. This year the members of the Art Club have received pins with the art insignia, a miniature palette on which there are daubs of paint and three brushes. Every member of the Art Club is proud to display her emblem, the pretty little palette that is a distinctive mark of this distinguished group.

It is composed of members who have contributed at least three articles which have been published in the Xavierette, the official school paper. It is a continuation of the club, which has been in the school, almost since it was established. Each month a meeting is held and many men and women prominent in the field of journalism have addressed the members at these meetings. This year we have been honored by the Rev- erend Thomas J. Cullen, author of Junipero Serra: Mr. Edward Sheehan, Journalist: Miss Mary Kiely, librarian and secretary of the Pro Parvulis Book Club. Many points on the school paper and the topics of journalism have been given in the past two years by Mr. Charles Grimes, publisher and author. Of the more scholastic clubs “Current Events” is by far the most inter esting. It is a school wide institution, every student automatically being a member. The club presents a resume of the highlights of the current news. The information is compiled from several weekly and monthly publications, among which the diocesan paper, The Providence Visitor, holds a merited position, that of introducing the Catholic viewpoint on current topics. The review is supplemented by the comments of the students. Agnes Doris McCarthy Events Helen R.

But the girls of Saint Xavier's look forward eagerly to and welcome the conferences given on every Friday morning by their Spiritual Director, Reverend Gerald Dillon. For four years now we have been thus favored. Although the Seniors had the privilege of having Father Dillon as a daily teacher of religion they were always glad to greet Friday and listen to the conference. Aside from breaking the course of the regular lesson it brings all once more, into the presence of another Christ . Father was always ready to settle any questions or difficulties. During the course of the year the conferences have related chiefly to the life of Christ. As the seasons of Advent and Christmas approached, the in- structions recalled practices that could be observed during the holy seasons. With the coming of Lent, it was quite fitting to discuss the Passion of Our Lord. The Class of 1936 regrets leaving but rejoices in the gifts it may take with it from the treasury of Friday morning's spiritual wisdom. Dorothy I. Dolan National Vocation W eek During the week of March 23 National Vocation Week was observed throughout the Academy. As a special feature, a poster contest was conducted and many and varied were the beautiful designs depicting the various voca- tions. On Friday, a very beneficial program was held. Speakers representing the different professions: namely, law, social service, library science, and phar- macy, took part. Reverend Gerald Dillon, our Spiritual Director, awarded the prizes for the two best posters, before his inspiring conference on Per- sonal Sanctity . Whatever our choice of a career may be. Vocation Week, I am sure, has helped us all to aim to put our best into it, and to do all for the greater honor and glory of God. Madeline F. San Souci Mil Motk er Catii eri ne McAuL ey Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy Another AlcAuley s C ause Dear to the hearts of the students is the Cause of Mother McAuley pre- sented to Our Holy Father one year ago. This year we continued to motivate interest by daily prayers, blackboard notices, and a monthly column in the Xavieretle. It was a great gratification to the members of the Order to know that Resolutions had been adopted by organizations and clubs of Providence connected with the Academy and had been forwarded to the Reverend Mother Superior of the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland, with the request that she forward them to His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, through His Grace, the Archbishop of Dublin. Closely related to the extra-curricular activities are the general assemblies, when the entire student body meets for various reasons. There is opening day when all classes gather for the words of greeting and advice from our Principal. There is the official opening on the second day when the students assist at holy Mass offered in honor of the Holy Spirit and receive the blessing of our Spiritual Director and his timely advice. Early in the first month the Seniors, too. present a program of welcome to the undergraduates. Any time a special message may call the students to the auditorium for lectures, conferences, or spiritual exercises. These general assemblies permit students to receive direc- tions immediately from the Principal. They also give an opportunity to see the entire student body and to be impressed not only by numbers but also by the morale of the group. Margaret M. Flaherty Assemblies Grace M. McDonald 'HTHHE' XAVIER«1936 ° 1112 P llgrimages Two memorable and beautiful visions which will ever exist in the minds of the graduates of Saint Xavier's are the pilgrimages made to the Chapel in honor of Our Blessed iMother, calling on her for protection and blessing dur- ing the school year. Mercy Day marks our first pilgrimage of the new term, and in unison we recite fervently the Act of Consecration. May Day is the final tribute made to Our Lady as Seniors and it is with sad heart that the girls, neatly uniformed, kneeling before her feet, ask for her guidance along the paths of life. As their voices blend together in the singing of the hymn “Loved Mother.’’ they slowly proceed to the foot of the altar and leave as a token of their affection a blushing, sweetly scented rosebud, a sign of Mary's purity. As other May and Mercy Days appear, past memories will linger in our hearts and year after year in spirit we will renew our pledge of love and de- votion to Our Lady of Mercy. Eleanor F. Sullivan Retreat • It was our great privilege to have as our retreat master this year the Rev- erend Father Cyprian Truss, O. S. F. C. The three days’ program consisted of Mass, Prayer. Conferences, and Benediction. The theme of the retreat was Why we are here. The conference given on the second afternoon was one that will always be remembered by those privileged to hear it. It was the story of the Passion of Our Lord and Saviour. As Father told it, one could feel his own heart rising up following Christ and helping Him to carry His Cross. One could sense all the sorrow of Mary, our Mother, as she beheld her Son. first, struggling under the great weight of the Cross and then, bowing His head as He died on the Cross. It was with deep sorrow that we realized this was our last retreat we might enter into as students of S. X. A. Evelyn E. Nolan 113] Healtli Day An annual feature of May Day, which is celebrated in the schools as Health Day, is our Gymnasium Meet. Under the direction of Miss Helen Slattery, the classes presented an exhibition of the year's work. Folk dances, games, races, stunts varied the program. This year the Seniors witnessed the display as guests of the Undergraduates. The afternoon closed with the pres- entation of letters” to the fortunate members of the Basketball Club. The great event was the presentation of the coveted shield for a second time to the Class of 1936. Anna E. Crawley Foreign jM-issions The world of today glories in the “miracles of science,” boasts of the achievement of inventions, and dreams of unending material progress. There is no limit to the pride of man, who proclaims loudly his own greatness. The good Lord had to face a similar mental attitude in His contempor- aries. Perhaps it will ever be so. But that did not keep Jesus from preaching the gospel of His Kingdom. His words were meant for the ages. To estab- lish a kingdom was the purpose of His coming. To spread His kingdom has brought the home and foreign missions into being. The pupils of Saint Xavier's have saved cancelled stamps and tinfoil to aid in this good work. To assist in developing our mission-mindedness one may find in the Mission Corner of the classrooms such magazines as The Far East, The Sign, The Extension, The Franciscan Missionary, and Truth. Thus Saint Xavier's tries to do her part to send the gospel out beyond the miracles of science” and the achievements of invention”. May He con- tinue to send laborers into His vineyard!

Alumnae and Seniors alike heartily responded to the Annual Reception and Dance at the Biltmore Hotel, a brilliant event with Mrs. Francis J. O’Brien as chairman. Not to hide our identities but to foster the spirit of congeniality, a Valentine Masquerade was held at Froebel Hall, arranged by Miss Isabel Moran. Music for the occasion was ably furnished by the Alumnae Orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Theresa Nolan Hunt. Later in February the fascination ol Hearts and Diamonds donned a new attire when Mrs. Gertrude Hanley conducted a Court Whist in the gymnasium. The Circle of Class Presidents and Delegates enjoyed a delightful Christmas Party at the “Little White House”. Mrs. Philip Agnew made a capable and charming hostess. An Easter parade of spring fashions and a social constituted the annual event of the group. In addition to the regular meetings of the Blackstone Valley Unit, a Scholarship Bridge was held in Knights of Columbus Hall. Pawtucket. Mrs. Maurice O'Connor served as chair- man. A Court Whist held in April, completed the fund necessary for the conferring of a 1936-1937 scholarship. Each social has distinguished itself in the cooperation of loyal workers, dignity of presen- tation, and a worthy cause.

May she continue her blessings, And shine brighter than ever before. Saint Xavier's for us now and always— Saint Xavier’s forevermore. Eleanor A. Taber |120 Jarewell to A1 ma Abater With classmates loyal, fond, and true. By teachers kindly led, In Alma Mater’s fostering arms, Four years on wings have fled. We’ll miss you, loving Sisters. We ll miss these stately halls, The dear, loved little chapel, The ivy-covered walls. We'll miss the shrine of Mary, Our dear loved Mystic Rose, With arms outstretched to greet us, As buds of spring unclose. We’ll miss the Leafy Cloister, The bowers of Memory Lane, But with such love, the coming years Will find us back again. Farewell, dear Alma Mater, Farewell, a fond adieu. Yes, each and every classmate, Now pledges to be true. Margaret Mary Raftery A1 m a jMiater s R esponse Your Alma Mater rejoices That your hearts are loyal and true, Right proudly her doors will be opened To greet and to welcome you. For future years cannot lessen Nor time’s ceaseless course e’er erase The love that she has for her children Or memory of each one’s face. Her heart is full of great longings As His blessing she gives to you, May God’s Benediction rest on you And unite the sweet old with the new Eleanor THHIIB AvVTIIBIR. 1030 1211 The Advertisers - - - ACT OF GRATITUDE The Class of 1936 closes this twentieth volume of the Xavier with a sincere act of gratitude.
