THE X A V1 ER 1937 Vol. XXI of Saint Francis Xavier Academy Edited by the Graduating Class Sisters of Mercy, Providence, R. I. FOREWORD In many respects, this publication, the twenty-first issue of the Xavier, is similar in outline and content to many of its predecessors. Its difference lies, perhaps, in the omission of the usual abbreviated summaries, largely imaginative, of the students’ characteristics. We are wont to doubt the utility of these personals, anti believe that in future years memories freshened by a glimpse at this volume, will recall the real qualities of oltl classmates. Although this Year Book has been edited as a memoir, no effort has been too great to make this publication as interesting and attractive as possible. Whether or not it compares favorably with those of other years is unimportant. Through this volume we, the class of 1937, express our eternal gratitude to our parents whose self-sacrifice and devotion have enabled us to graduate from this Academy, to the nuns of the faculty whose fortitude and consideration have encouraged us always, and to our spiritual director whose instruction and advice have strengthened our resistance to temptation. To all our benefactors, this book is a symbol of our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. Marik T.

Creegan Page One Hundred Eight Class Hi story In the midst of the glories and joys of graduation we pause to reflect on the happiness and gaiety that (died our days at St. Xavier’s Acadeny. The incidents in our reveries, insignificant though they may seem, are recalled with startling vividness and great pleasure, and, too, with a trace of sadness. Even the memories of our far-away freshmen days are still as clear as ever. The bright sun shone clown on the campus now glowing with the laughter and greetings of the happy, eager girls of S.X.A. The upper classmen greeted each other energetically while they cast a friendly smile at us, the freshmen, in the year 1934. The time was a beautiful September day; the event, the registration of the graduating class of 1937. Every little detail of that day remains vivid in the mind of each senior. The welcome given us by our Principal succeeded in making each one feel as if she had reached a haven to be enjoyed for four happy years. After the beginning of classes, each day sped swiftly until October when we, the proud freshmen, donned for the first time those neatly-pressed, dark blue uniforms, and pinned firmly beneath our chins those significant little green ties. We sallied forth in that memorable NRA parade for which S.X.A. received such acclaim and which we look to ourselves, for were we not the most remark- able class ever to cross the portals of this illustrious temple of culture? It was during that eventful year that we mourned the death of our own dear Bishop, Right Reverend William A. Hickey, and welcomed our new leader, His Ex- cellency, the Most Reverend Francis P. Keough, D.D. The well known S.X.A. retreat was conducted by our own Spiritual Director, Reverend Gerald Dillon. The Freshmen Frolic served to bring a few more needed dollars to the zealous missionaries in Belize. As the bright green ties dimmed to a lighter green, it dawned full upon our childish minds that we were drawing to the close of our first year as students of St. Xavier’s. The happy summer vacation came to a close and we were now merging into our sophomore year. How proud we were to be no longer considered the baby class of the academy. The first sophomore assembly, “The Bird of St. Patrick,’’ was hailed with great enthusiasm. Our Bingo, held for the Missions, was a departure from the usual class dance. After Father Hubbard’s lecture on Alaska and Father Leven’s lecture on Oklahoma, we were divided into two distinct classes—those who were going to be missionaries in Oklahoma and those who were going to far-off Alaska. The result of Mrs. Theodosia Cross’s lecture, “Developing a Pleasing Personality,” was to try to acquire some of her charm. Our retreat master, Father George Scott, O.S.F.C., conducted a very inspiring retreat and we prayed earnestly that the seniors would know what path to choose when it came time to decide. As the Passion Play of Oberammergau flashed on the screen, we watched with eager interest and meditated with true piety on the Divine Drama. Then the Xavierette Staff was overjoyed at the opportunity of a trip to Boston to witness the popular passion play, “Pilate's Daughter.” The group who visited St. Aloysius Home with arms loaded down with fixings for a party for the little ones will never forget the joy of that day in the closing week of our sophomore year. During that week we came to the realization that now we were no longer considered a lower class for we were passing into the upper sphere of our Academy days. Now comes the year on which we perhaps will dwell the longest—the year which is most appropriately described as the jolly junior year. The opening of school was delayed until October seventh, which, strange to say. was distressing to the would-be-juniors who were in haste to display their rosy junior tics. Page One Hundred Nine With Miss Helen Slatteriy as our new gym and basketball instructress we were determined to make the seniors work hard for the basketball shield. Work they did and won the shield as seniors should. Loyal to our state as well as to our school we marked Rhode Island’s Tercentenary year by discussing that subject in our weekly themes. Roger Williams was such a popular person that we induced his sister to come to our junior dance. Of course, it was not really she, for our grand lady was much too spry to be over three hundred years old. Scenes from Shakespeare presented by the New York Classic Guild made us realize more fully the charm of the author. Our third retreat, conducted by Father Cyprian, O.S.F.C., was so impressive that we were sorry when it drew to a close and we came down from heaven to earth back to the classroom. “Pontia,” a noteworthy presentation, was given by the Dramatic Club during the Lenten Season. “Kathleen,” one of the outstanding plays presented by the juniors, was heartily supported by the whole student body for the purpose of obtaining funds to send delegates to the meeting of the Sodality of Our Lady of Mercy at the Summer School of Catholic Action in Boston. The opening of the new school library produced quite a sensation and we immediately began to make use of it. A poster contest and a number of professional talks marked the occasion of Vocation Week. With a feeling of great loss we learned that a member of the fac- ulty and a beloved teacher was to depart for the Mercy Mission in Belize, British Honduras. A change occurred in our junior year—we were given our reports and promoted before leaving school. Thus we advanced to the cherished senior year. Ah, at last we have achieved our goal—seniority, the dream of red ties is now a reality. Soon alter school opened, the officers, with the aid of the new principal, started activities in the sodality. The sodality controlled all the ac- tivities of the year; the first was two one-act plays by the seniors. Late in Octo- ber, we made our last retreat at S. X. A., a very inspiring one conducted by Rev. Leo Gilleran, S. J., who, a few weeks later passed to his eternal reward. The New York Classic Guild again visited our academy and thrilled us with their para- mount performance. A very fine program was presented in honor of Mother Provincial, our former principal, on occasion of her Feast Day. In December the Sodality presented “The Coming of the King.” Amidst all the excitement of Christmas festivities, that long anticipated event for which each senior class joyously waits came at last, the night of the senior prom. The splendor and beauty of such an affair could not in justice be printed in simple words, in Feb- ruary the seniors very generously relinquished their claims to the Xavierette. The seniors were privileged to attend a lecture by F. J. Sheet!, a noted lecturer and publisher. Vocation week proved very inspirational and was opened by Rev. John Dillon, President of Providence College. The Mystical Body of Christ was successfully studied at the weekly study clubs under the able guidance of F'athcr Dillon. if only this book went to press a little later in the term, it would enable us to relate the glory of Graduation day. But one bright ray of that day’s sun has reached us; the commencement address will be given by the National Director of Our Lady’s Sodality, Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. J. Our high school life is ended, but the years at St. Xavier's have left us with something more priceless than learning—beautiful memories and true friend- ships, and as we leave the portals, now grown so dear, we carry in our hearts the four years of sunshine and happiness so typical of St. Xavier’s.

Cai.auro Page One Hundred Twelve DARING ADVENTURESS STUMBLES UPON UNCHARTED ISLAND Mary Munson, Encircling Globe, Finds Isolated Island Off Pacific Coast Providence, R. I., July 8, 1947: While returning from the Orient, where she started on the last lap of her round-the-world trip, the noted journalist and explorer, Mary G. Munson, came upon an island hitherto unknown off the West Coast. Miss Munson tells of her experiences on the island in the following article: ‘‘About 200 miles northwest of Seattle my seaplane developed engine trouble, and I was forced down in the middle of the night on the icy waters of the Pacific. “With the first sign of dawn, I looked frantically around for my location, and to my surprise I seemed to be near land. My map gave no indication, however, of any island in the vicinity; so, coming to the conclusion that I must be off my course. I decided to investigate. “Fortunately I had equipped the plane with distress signals, and these now served me in good stead, for in about a quarter of an hour a boat, evidently from the local Coast Guard Station, came into sight. While it was still some distance away. I was surprised to notice that the entire crew was girls. To my amazement, when they reached the plane, I recognized the three occupants of the boat as my former classmates of St. Xavier’s. Helen Brennan, Madeline Greene, and Angela King were pulling at the oars in true nautical fashion. “On the way to shore they regaled me with the story of Xavia, the island whose inhabitants were restricted to those who formed the graduating class of 1937 at St. Xavier's Academy. The island, I was informed, had been separated from the mainland a few years before during a violent earth tremor. “When I alighted from the boat, I noticed a class of small children learning to swim. The instructors were none other than Virginia Oates and Vivian Maher. On renewing acquaintances with these two of my high school friends, I discov- ered that the class consisted of the tiny tots of Betty Messer, Hope McShane, Helen Reid, Louise Pescosolido, Frances Saunders, Anita Walsh, Viola Nelson, Catherine Hagan. Elizabeth Louth, and Helen McFadden. “I hailed a taxi, and asked the grinning driver, who was Mabel Sullivan, to take me to the nearest hotel. Her driving soon attracted the attention of the policewoman, Rita Perrault, who handed her a ticket—a kind invitation toi visit Judge Alice Cavedon. When 1 alighted at the Eleanor and Margaret Shea Hotel, the cloorwoman, Theodore Houle, resplendent in brass buttons, opened the door. The clerk at the desk, Genevieve Rogers, assigned me a room, and called a bell-girl, Mary McWilliams, to direct me to it. I stopped at the switchboard to instruct the operator. Marguerite Foley, to send a wire- less to Seattle. On entering the elevator, I found it to be operated by Margaret Montgomery, who let us off at the third floor. “When I was comfortably settled in my room, I idly turned the dial of the radio. The familiar voice of the local news commentator, Arlene Holmes, was just signing off. I listened for the station identification. “ ‘This is Station S. X. A. broadcasting. Your announcer—Catherine A. Regan. The Meanerhon Malted Milk Company now presents Beth Crook and Orchestra, featuring Barbara Holden, cornetist: Zaida Hires and Mary Hurley, violinists; with Cecile Dionne and Dorothy Chartier at the twin pianos.’ Page One Hundred Thirteen “After a selection by the orchestra, the Three Rhythm Sisters, Alice Doni- lon, Geraldine Gorman, and Julia Reilly, sang an old favorite of a decade ago, “When My Dreamboat Comes Home.” The program continued with the daily recipe, given by Mary Murphy. “A knock interrupted this entertainment, and the hotel page. Anna Dolan, handed me the daily newspaper, The Xaviu Herald, which I later found out to be edited by Louise Smith. Her editorial staff consisted of Elizabeth McGovern, Adela Artesani, Marie Cotter, and Claire Alker. I turned to my favorite page, the comic strips, and was very much amused by the strip entitled ‘Ten Years Ago Today,’ by the noted cartoonist, Ann Pickering. By this time, this island, Xavia, had completely aroused my curiosity, and I determined to become better acquainted with my surroundings. After leaving the hotel, 1 had not gone far when the huge sign, reading The Clark and Kayatta Pharmacy, arrested my attention. I entered, and having ordered my soda, I looked about me only to see that among the trim waitresses were Ruth McElroy, Gertrude Jackson, Mary Fanning, and Rose McMann, all hustling about. And away over at a quiet table, Anna Drew, Rita Carey, Frances Leyden, and Josephine Calabro were in a heated discussion over the afternoon’s final edition of the Herald—for they, too, were feature contributors to this paper. The fifteen cents for my soda was graciously received by Bernadine Benoit. At the door of the drug store my eyes rested on the shelves of books which made up its lending library. Here were featured a book of poems by Mary Cottam, and novels by such authors as Isabel Cregan and Marguerite Payne. No sooner had the drug store door closed behind me, than I met a group of distinguished looking women in black and grey—district nurses, of course. To this notable profession the Misses Vinck, McDonald, Reilly, and Dugas had given their lives. “Continuing on my tour, I noticed that Florence Hunt could boast of the largest department store in Xavia. In one part of the window, Veronica Rayner and Anita Lanoie were busily arranging the models advertising the day’s sales. Inside, the store was comparatively quiet, except for Mary Hanley’s voice, which was guaranteeing Hodgson’s Hole-proof Hosiery. Throughout the store I recog- nized such faces as Anna Conley, Winifred Malone, Mary Reardon, and Betty Mulligan, all looking industrious behind their respective counters. And oh yes! Margaret McGuire was managing that envied department—the one devoted to candy. Although a little sign, hanging outside the frosted window of the office, read ‘No Help Wanted’, I boldly opened the door, and beheld a long double row of desks and energetic stenographers. Helen O’Connell, in the foreground, rose when I entered and took me about the office. Helen Doherty, Margaret Bren- nan. Elizabeth Coleman, and Mary Pender by their typing proved to be fine examples of what they had learned at High School. In another little office, Adeline Bataldo, Marie Creegan, and Mary Devlin were poring over large draw- ing boards, preparing the ads for the next day’s Herald. Before I left Helen, she told me of the Fashion Revue, to be held in the store presently, so I set out in search of it. However, if I hadn't collided with Mary Kenny, a floor walker, I might never have found it. At this fashion show, Rose Mimnaugh described the costumes as Helen Crane, Claire Farrell, and Irene Senecal made very charming mannequins. After a pleasant half hour, I strolled out of the store and continued down the Main Street. At the corner Variety Store, Sue Maguire was seen fixing the magazine rack that stood on the sidewalk in front of her store. “A little further, the huge signs outside of the Gaiety Theatre announced the grand opening of the play ‘Do You Remember When’, written by the up- and-coming playwrights, Dorothy Thomson and Leah Emin. The first perform- ance would be tonight at 8:15. Stealthily I slipped by Mary Leary at the stage Page One Hundred Fourteen door entrance, and stood unobserved as Helen Monahan and Myrtle Miller, co-directors, coached the Community of Sock and Buskin Players for the night’s opening performance. Among those I could recognize on the stage, rehearsing, were Dorothy Harrington, Helen Mongeon, and Jeannette LaBrie. In an adjoining room Dorothy Burns, Mildred Evans, and Marie Sullivan, an attentive trio, were practicing their dance routine; and despite their noise, they didn't seem to disturb Eusebius Charbonneau, who was perfecting her ballet number— for tonight was the big night! “Fully resolved to attend, I made my way to the street, and decided to look about for a beauty parlor—an opening night and my hair was a total wreck! 1 had not looked very far, when the Neon sign of the fashionable Pink and White Shoppe came into view. As I entered, the Shoppe was doing a fairly good busi- ness—Mary Schaefer, the hairdresser, who presently came up to me, said it was always like this—for ‘first nights.’ Lillian Collins was adjusting the dryer over Ann Otto’s head—as Mary had told me, Ann was a school teacher now. While Pauline Bechard was expertly manicuring my nails, I overheard Frances O’Con- nell, the Social Worker, and Katherine R. Regan, the Society Matron, discussing excitedly the good fortune of Rose Garvey—Rose had just been notified that she was a winner in the Irish Sweepstakes. Just then the door opened, and Theresa DeBartolo, another hairdresser, returned, having been out to lunch. After an hour of persecution for necessity’s sake, I left the Pink and White Shoppe. I had scarcely time to eat dinner before it would be time to get ready for the Gaiety Theatre. “That night, after I had purchased my ticket from Estelle Waters, at the ticket window, 1 stood in the lobby of the theatre, and watched the ermined elegance of Xavia as they came in groups to attend the initial production of ‘Do You Remember When.’ Miss Miller, one of the directors, anxious to make it pleasant for me as a stranger in Xavia—did it right—for she introduced me to none other than the Mayor of Xavia, Margaret Catterall. With such a per- sonage as the Mayor and such members of a governmental staff as Winifred Mc- Manus, the city’s eminent attorney; Mary Murray, the Mayor’s own Secretary; Eileen Devine, head of the Treasury Department; and finally the Secretary of State, Carmella Notorantonio, you may be sure 1 felt quite dignified. In the few minutes before the curtain went up, the Ushers. Claire Hetherman, Marjorie Sullivan, Estelle Hamel, and Mary Powell ran up and down the aisles, accommodating the crowds of people that thronged the theatre. “The mistress of ceremonies, Rita Mulcahey, announced the play, and the choice entertainers between the scenes. There were selections by Irene Smith and Phyllis Baldino, anti by the dancers I had seen in the afternoon. Judging by the applause alone, ‘Do You Remember When’ was a tremendous success; and, before I left the theatre, I was invited by Mayor Catterall for a tour the next day of such public buildings as the library, school, and hospital. An answer to my telegram arrived early next morning, so I was forced to make this tour brief. Among the teachers at the school were two Religious, Rachel Bellavance and Josephine Heffernan. In this school. Sister told me, physical culture was a period looked forward to by the youngsters, and a reason for this enthusiasm was the fact that Dorothy Finucane and Helen Wilson were the instructors. Here, too, Phyllis Bourque, celerity personified, was in charge of the cafeteria, and Theresa Monti was the Professor of Spanish. “Next I visited the library, which was adjacent to the school. It was no surprise to find this institution under the management of Catherine Galligan. Miss Galligan’s assistants were Mildred Hallam and Ethel Hogan. “Although I should have liked to stay longer, I had to hurry if I wanted to see the Memorial Hospital. Once inside the doors, Margaret Rayner appeared, busily occupied at the information desk. After taking me through Page One Hundred F-'iftrr the hospital, the head physician, Assunta Monti, introduced me to two of the energetic nurses. They were Catherine Bannigan and Helen Gumbley. “Now the last building of my tour—the City Hall. As the guest of the Mayor, 1 enjoyed a delightful visit. Of all the bureaus, the Department of Health and the Social Service Department were most interesting, because here I met Gertrude Jacques in the Health Department and Dorothy St. Onge and Elizabeth Maguire as Social Service Workers. “By this time my plane had been repaired, and when I informed the Mayor of my resolution to leave, she thoughtfully offered me an escort of four motor- cyclists: namely, Mary Kelley, Eloise Foley, Geraldine Corrente, anti Eleanor Gaudet, to take me to the beach. “Some time later, arriving at Seattle, I brought my seaplane down, to be greeted by a swarm of reporters, who surrounded me anti asketl for a story of my flight—anti thus you have the history of Xavia.” Mary M. Kei.ley Eloise A. Foley Geraldine P. Corrente Ei.eanor M. Gaudet Page One Hundred Sixteen Class Will We, of the up-and-doing Class of 1937, about to put away our old school bag and contents, because of the termination of our wheel on the ever-moving wagon of education at Saint Xavier’s Academy, do hereby, with sound mind and memory, bequeath to our successors and benefactors all possessions, and also make void all preceding wills and declare this to be our last. TO OUR ALMA MATER: Our filial love and loyalty. Our cooperation in the work of the Alumnae. Our promise to try to live up to the ideals of Catholic Action so frequently set before us. Our heartiest thanks for the most wonderful four years of our lives. TO THE FACULTY: Our prayers for their intention. Our permission (too readily given) to destroy all test papers. Our promise to remember and live up to the ideals they have given us. TO THE JUNIORS: Our Senior dignity. Our red ties. (Not the same ones, for they are souvenirs.) Our privilege of sitting way down that in the Auditorium. Our joy after Mid year Exams. Our privilege of being the guardians of the Xavier, and the task of excel- ling it. Our evening gowns for the January Prom. (What! not stylish enough!) Our insane desire to read a good novel the night before Finals. (How dis- astrous!) Our one valuable locker which contains The Mirror. (All stand in line and avoid pushing.) Our honor of obtaining a medal for MO word speed in shorthand. Our outlines for Study Clubs. (Advice charged to Juniors, “Make proper use of these outlines”.) TO THE SOPHOMORES: Recognition at last! The chance to win the Basketball shield. The opportunity to learn to be dignified. (In case of sudden promotion.) The command to give our little | al Xavierette the best of care. The glory of being competitors with those famed Red Ties. Page One Hundred Seventeen TO THE FRESHMEN: The opportunity to initiate the incoming class. (Revenge is sweet!) The chance to tint those green bows blue. The privilege of showing off to the new Freshmen what one can do in a Basketball game. The right to label someone else “F'reshie”. The opportunity to make that all important decision, Classical, Scientific, or Commercial. The pride of being part of S. X. A.’s family for one whole year. TO THE INCOMING CLASS: The heartiest welcome. The opportunity of installing an elevator in the old building. (You are going to need it!) T he pleasure of adopting S. X. A. as your very own. The chance to meet new girls and our beloved teachers. The honor of wearing a new S. X. A. uniform and a budding green tic, which, we hope, will be blossomed to red by 1911. Lastly do we nominate and appoint our said Junior Class of 1937 to the office of executors of this, our Last Will and Testament. Signed and scaled by the Class of 1937 in the presence of the undersigned, who, being requested, have acted as witnesses hereunto. Signed, Barbara J. Holden Harriet L. Clark. Helen F. O’Connell Gartrude A. Jackson Page One Hundred Eighteen Thoughts In Recollection 1 tried to get away from all His teaching, I meant to oust Him from my very heart. I thought that I could get beyond His reaching, I meant to run till we were miles apart. I walked along the lonely country byway, 1 saw His gown in fields of clover white. I tramped along the crowded city highway, 1 saw His soul within the sparkling light. I stumbled through the desert hot and friendless, I saw His beauty in the burning skies. 1 sailed on the oceans blue and endless, And in their azure depths I saw' His eyes. I came unto a chapel in the paling, I saw Him beckon me, to me alone. I went inside and walked up to the railing. And laid my heart upon the altar stone. And in my heart so weary and so sore, His image had imprinted itself there. Looking at the golden tabernacle door I knelt and thanked Him in a humble prayer. Marie M. Creegan Page One Hundred Nineteen Tke J uniors The class of '38 are the worthy successors of the class of '37. The Juniors certainly deserve the title worthy successors, for they have already proved them- selves very capable by their excellent management of the Xavierette. We know their scholastic standing to be high by the long lists on the Honor Roll. Their dramatic talent is unsurpassable as shown in the Lenten play. In basketball as well as in all athletics they are feared opponents. We feel confident that the Juniors will carry on the high standards of S. X. A. Margaret R. Montgomery. Tire Sophomores No longer Freshmen and not quite Juniors,—this is how we introduce our little darlings, the Sophomores. Without them, our student body would not be so numerous. They have taken part in every school activity and have contributed to the Xavierette in large numbers. We commend them on their excellent dra- matic ability displayed in their production of “The Two Orphans.” With the playing of a few basketball games they showed prospects of future experts at the sport. Sophomores, we wish you all the success that may be had by so worthy a class. Hei.en C. Mongeon. The Freshmen The happiest year in S. X. A. to me is the first year. This class has the supreme joy of three more years ahead of them. They seem so tiny now, yet next year they will be Sophomores and will wear that distinguishing air of su- periority. The Class of 1937 will always remember the lovable Freshmen for their untiring efforts to help in every possible way to further the success of the plays and too, their great effort as future basketball stars to uphold the honor of out- beloved Academy.

Although the athletic dubs do not participate in interscholastic competition, our intra-mural leagues provide much rivalry and excitement. 1 he dramatic club attracts many of our potential actresses, and the prima-donnas of the future are being trained in our glee club. Every musical and dramatic per- formance is enlightened by the harmonious melodies of our line orchestra. I hose more educationally inclined may find ample opportunities in the many study clubs. Through the activities of these organizations, student-life at Saint Xavier’s Academy is increasingly enjoyable. Alice R. Donii.on The Sodality ol Our Lady of A ercy As a banner of love inscribed with the insignia of the Mother of Christ, the Sodality of Our Lady of Mercy has risen to unprecedented heights in its one year of existence. From a comparatively small organization of one hundred forty charter members its enrollment has increased in excess of six hundred strong. A Sodality was first contemplated in April. 1036, when Mother Mary Hilda, then principal, announced her intention of forming an organization to further the work of personal sanctification and that of neighbor. Members of the Junior class were received as charter members, and from this group the major officers were chosen. Affiliation with the Prima Primaria at Rome, which grants all in- dulgences and privileges to sodalities, was secured within two months. In June, 1936, the appointments of six Junior students as future Sodality officers were announced. A dual privilege was the significance of these appoint- ments. Before assuming the leadership of the Sodality, these students were permitted to attend the Summer School of Catholic Action held in Boston the week of August 21. Victims of the zeal exhibited by Reverend Daniel A. Lord and his associates, the sodalists returned to the Academy equipped spiritually and temporally to inaugurate the work of organization. The first meeting of the sodality was held on September 18, at which the reports of activities during the Summer School were read to the assembled sodalists. The duties, privileges, and pledges of the Children of Mary were enumerated, the dates for subsequent meetings were agreed upon, and our first school sodality had begun. Reception of new members occurred on December 7, prior to the least of the Immaculate Conception. On this day the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes joined the infant sodality, pledging themselves to execute faithfully the obligations of all true sodalists. When the following First Friday arrived, six hundred students blended their youthful voices in the recitation of the Office of the Immaculate Conception. Six hundred girls were now six hundred Children of Mary. In retrospect, the first year of our school sodality has been one of Catholic Action. The unfortunate have felt its generosity in the corporal works of mercy. Foreign and domestic missions have lauded its zealous missionary activities. The general public have been entertained with its dramatic productions. The sodalists. themselves, have developed a more fervent love for the Eucharistic King as Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament. In all, the endeavors of this group have appeared to prosper. Under the banner of divine love may it lead our succes- sors to greater things! As a living bud may it bloom with flower-like fragrance! May its future socialists promise loyally and fidelity to the ideals of Mary, their Mother. The sodalists of 1937 prophesy its inevitable success. Marie T. Cotter Page One Hundred Twenty-eight OFFICERS OF OCR LADY’S SODALITY Mary Anna Mary Father Marie Mary Gertrude Munson Drew Murray Lord Cotter Murphy Jacques Page One Hundred Twenty-nine Al_ercy Truth Crusaders In response to our Holy Father’s plea for United Catholic Action, the seniors established, in 1933, the organization known as the Mercy Truth Cru- saders. Each succeeding class has followed the example set by its predecessors and every fourth year student is a Crusader. The Crusaders are divided into four groups for study club purposes. Thus each senior class is in itself a distinct unit. This year there are the Siena, Loyola, Aquinas, and Avila Study Clubs. Under the guidance of Reverend Father Dillon, our Spiritual Director, the entire group assembles every Friday morning in the auditorium. Four members, known as the Voices of Memory, Imagination, Intellect, and Will, from one of the units, present theses on some phase of the general topic. This year the main topic was “The Mystical Body of Christ.” Following the reading of the papers, the director conducts a session of open discussion. In this way any doubtful points of the subject are made clear. As a result of these meetings we have come to realize that knowledge of our religion is the most necessary factor of our education. We realize now, and we will realize more in the years to come that these study clubs are of ines- timable value. Mary C. McWilliams St. Francis de Sales Literary Society The patron of the press, St. Francis de Sales, is the guide of this society which promotes the reading of literature and the art of writing. To become a member, one must have had at least three articles published in the Xavieretle, our school paper. In this way the society endeavors to encourage those who are talented in the field of writing, that they may be able in this field to promote Catholic Action. Many means are afforded them such as listening to outstanding people in the world of Journalism. One of the first to address the society this year was Reverend Father McVinney, of the Providence Visitor stall. Another most help- ful informal talk was given by Mr. Charles A. Grimes, who has even taken an active interest in our school paper. Anna M. Drew Page One Hundred Thirty e Xavierette Perhaps the Academy’s most representative student organization is tire Xavierette. This monthly publication has grown and prospered throughout its four years of existence as each senior class has added something to its march of progress. 'The Class of '37 saw the Xavierette become a member of the national group. The Catholic Press Association. The Editorial Stall also had the privilege of attending sessions of the various conventions of the R. I. Scholastic Press Association and derived much benefit from these meetings with other scholastic journalists throughout the State. Many new features were added to the paper this year while articles of interest and merit carried through previous years of the paper’s existence were retained. This year found the junior class taking over the publication of the Xavierette in January. This is an innovation which will continue and will add much value to the interest of the paper. To all who have contributed toward making the Xavierette a success this year, we extend our grateful thanks and deepest appreciation. We are sure that in the future, as in the past, the motto of the Xavierette will continue to be “Onward and Upward.’’ Mary G. Munson Page One Hundred Thirty-one R osa -A ystica Players The dramatic year for the Rosa Mystica Players has been one of success. Under their inspiring title, the senior dramatic club has dedicated all its efforts to Mary, “Our Mystical Rose.” The cl id) was given an advantage, never before afforded, the introduction of choral speaking. This course provided the prin- cipal work for the week- ly meetings and each member was given the for individ- opportunity ual work. Two one act plays, “The Ghost of Deep- dene” and “A White Lie”, were presented with suc- cess. “The Coming of t h e King”, given at Christmas time, will long be remembered for its beautiful costumes, set- tings. and splendid por- trayal of biblical charac- ters. To Mrs. Henry Dono- van. our kind instructor, we owe our deepest gratitude, for it was through her guidance, example, and efforts that we have met with such success. The orchestra, too, cannot be forgot- ten, for no program would be complete without its accompaniment. To the faculty, the art club, the glee club, and all who have helped in any way in out- work, we say, “Thank you.” For us, the play is finished but memories still linger. To our successors we leave the pleasant task of standing before the footlights with Mary, our “Mystical Rose,” looking down in approval and blessing. Mary L. Murphy Mrs. Henry J. Donovan Page One Hundred Thirty-two o rckestra One of the most prom- inent clubs as S. X. A. is the orchestra. It is called upon to take an active part in all of the school assemblies a n d plays. Under the splendid leadership of Professor Henri J. Faucher, this group, which is composed of twenty-two talented young girls, has become skillful in various types of music. Violins Zaida Pires, ‘37 Elizabeth Crook, ’37 Mary Hurley. 37 Helen Mahoney. '38 Eileen Munson. ’38 Helen Kane. ’38 Rita Cartier. '39 Virginia Toye, '39 Mary Farley. 39 Virginia Lonegan, '39 Cello V.

We are also certain that un- der the direction of Pro- fessor Faucher and our own faculty moderator the present and incoming members of St. Xavier’s Orchestra will be most successful.

Faucher Page One Hundred Thirl yd tree TI ie Ave Alaria Choristers This year has been one of brilliant success for the glee club as the Ave Maria Choristers under the patronage of our Blessed Mother. The most valued possession of the (dee Club is a Scrap Book kept by one of the members and containing records of the outstanding musical events of the year. The Glee Club presented the operetta “The Outlaw King,” a delightful composition dealing with Robin Hood and liis outlaws in the days of Richard the Lion-Hearted. Both the acting and tlie singing were handled capably by the students. May the future hold as abundant a store of success and happiness for the subsequent members as it did for us, the Class of 1937. Geraldine R. Gorman Page One Hundred Thirty-four Tlie Art Club An extra curricular activity is the Art Club. In the Art Room on the top floor, where the girls gather to improve their talent in painting, ( lass distinctions are forgotten. The multi-colored smocks hide the red, pink, blue, and green tics, giving the class a neutral tone. Five or six girls and sometimes more take their lessons as one class, but each receives individual attention. The artists work on one picture for about six or seven lessons and then the masterpiece is taken home to be counted among the family treasures. This club claims many promising artists if their ability to work on canvas is an indication. Catherine E. Galligan Page One Hundred Thirty-five e J-ypmg u Although only three years in existence this club holds an important place among the clubs of St. Xavier’s. Monday afternoon finds groups from every non commercial class eager to learn the art of the touch system. For one hour the class works under direction. Perhaps the sounds are not very rhythmical at first but time and practice bring excellent results. This acquisition will be beneficial to the future college students. Alice M. Cavedon Page One Hundred Thirty-six The Faculty Auxiliary The Faculty Auxiliary is an organization instituted to keep our Academy and grounds in good condition. With the willing assistance of the pupils in her class, each class-president is able to keep her designated area in order. The great pride we all cherish for our beloved school makes this a pleasant duty and preserves the beauty and charm which endears Saint Xavier’s to all. Elizabeth R. Messer Page One Hundred Thirty-seven Basketball According to the es- tablished tradition, bas- ketball again this year proved to be one of the more enjoyable a n d highly spirited of our extra - curricular activi- ties. The keen compel i- tion between the juniors and seniors reached its pinnacle with the jun- iors the ultimate win- ners of the coveted shield. An unusual bit of spirit was displayed between the freshmen Miss Helen Slattery and sophomores, the lat- ter team gaining top honors. It seems proper and just that we should pause here to offer our sincere thanks to Miss Helen Slattery, under whose skillful guidance and able direction we have learned not only the fundamentals of bas- ketball, but have also ac- quired those qualities that are so necessary to real womanhood. Angela M. King Page One Hundred Thirty-eight Physical Ed ucation Activity in the form of the games anti gym- nastics is very profitable as well as pleasurable. Private information for each individual case is just as important and very much appreciated by students. We arc very fortunate at Saint Xavier’s to have period- ically the professional at- tention of Dr. Kathleen Barr and the daily care of Miss Bernice Smith, R. N. Miss Smith’s office has many visitors be- tween ten and eleven o’clock each morning. All find relief and sym- pathy. Miss Bernice Smith, R. N. Leah Agatha Emin Current Events The publications of the Catholic Press and of the Public Press are an important part of the weekly class meeting of Saint Xavier's students. I he Public Press discusses current topics pro and con and the Catholic Press renders a Catholic interpretation. In this way there is received an intelligent Catholic understanding of the momentous questions of the day. “1 he Congressional Record,” “Current Events,” “America,” “The Commonweal,” the Young Catho- lic Messenger, the “Catholic Worker,” “The Providence Visitor,” and the “Queen’s Work” are prominent among the publications used in the weekly discussions of current problems and trends. Each student is required to partici- pate actively in this endeavor to train the girls of Saint Xavier’s for future participation in civic society wherein they will influence civic and social life by their Catholic-Civic mindedness. Helen M. Monahan Page One Hundred Thirty-nine (Irrripiaa 4inmarcrB(ibilrm (fclnnir £flrunnm. e Features As a climax to serious endeavor, the auditorium proves itself ideal. In the auditorium the various club meetings are carried on. The monthly meetings of the Sodality of Our Lady of Mercy, organized by the seniors and attended by the entire student body, are held there. Here also we hear the weekly confer- ences of Father Dillon and the various lectures given by interesting people. The plays and operettas of the Dramatic Club and the Glee Club, respectively, prove that the auditorium contributes to entertainment as well as to study. It is to Friday, more than any other day in the school week, that we, the student body of St. Xavier's, look forward with the greatest pleasure. On this day we are given weekly instructive conferences by our Spiritual Director, Reverend Gerald Dillon, whom the seniors have the distinction to have as their daily teacher of religion. In his talks he has stressed truthfulness, self-control, self-respect, charity, and Catholic Action. During the seasons of Lent and Advent, Father delivered conferences most suitable to those periods and gave suggestions that we might practice in order to help us to observe these seasons in an appro- priate and holy manner. In Vocation week he very carefully and exactly discussed careers and professions. Besides being most instructive, these discussions were a diversion from the ordinary routine of the classroom. After attending these Friday morning conferences, it is with great regret and with yearning hearts for those days which will no longer be ours, that we, the class of 1937, leave these weekly messages to our succeeding classmates. Catherine M. Hacan Spintua Hei.en C. Mongeon Page One Hundred Forty-two Vocation Week Vocation week is a time of serious thought and contemplation. The enlighten- ing talks that are given on the different vocations help us to choose the walk of life we wish to follow. We are inspired by at least one of these talks because they include every branch of life. We are instructed to ptay for light to follow the path that God has chosen for us. Posters attract our attention—all suggestive of careers and callings. A very charming exhibit of dolls dressed as nurse, doctor, teacher, artist, musician, business woman, social service worker, bride, mother, and nuns of every order attracted attention and provoked thought. The week (March 7-12) opened with a very inspiring and stimulating talk on St. Thomas Aquinas by Very Reverend John Dillon, O. 1 , President of Providence College. Our own Father Dillon closed the week with a general talk on vocations noting specially, Mother McAuley and Mother Xavier Warde, since it was Foundation Day of the .Sisters of Mercy. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament closed the exercises. Rita F. Mulcahey I oreign Amissions This past year, more so than any other, the enthusiastic interest of the girls for the missions has noticeably increased. That is due, most assuredly, to the fact that this year we have a representative of our own in the mission field. One of our own dear faculty members, Sister Mary Bernard, left us last September to give her services to the spreading of the Word of God in the mission at Belize. And the girls have not forgotten her. Each one by her prayers or contributions has done something to aitl Sister in her work in the missions. The proceeds of socials, motion pictures, and basketball games, mite-boxes, old stamps, and silver paper have all found their way to some needy mission, through the central diocesan ollice. In every classroom and in the library may be found such magazines as Far East, The Field Afar, The Sign, The Cowl, Jesuit Missions, The Extension, The Franciscan Missionary, and Truth, to inform the girls of active mission work going on in all parts of the world. In this way, the students of St. Xavier’s do their part to make lighter the burden of those who have given their life to the service of God. Mary V. Murray. Page One Hundred Forty-three Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy Mother Al_cAiiley s Day It is but natural that the students of St. Xavier’s should imbibe a sin- cere devotion to the Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. Daily the prayer for her canonization is heard in our classrooms. Monthly a devout columnist places her virtuous life before our eyes. Twice a year programs in her honor celebrate the establishment of the Order in Ireland, December 12, and its foundation in Providence, March 12. It was a happy coincidence this year that brought the dose of our vocation week program on Foundation Day. With great pride we listened to our Spiritual Director, Reverend Father Dillon, call to our attention the valiant woman who dared in those doubtful days to be a Catholic Teacher, Social Service Worker, Foundress. Anna Marie Otto P llgrimages Among the cherished customs at St. Xavier’s are the two visits to Our Lady’s Chapel. On the eve of the feast of Our Lady of Mercy, September twenty-four, the entire student body in procession, singing the traditional hymn, passes up the aisle to the shrine. “Loved Mother, at thy shrine we place This garland bright and fair; O would it were a better gift To prove the love we bear.’’ As each girl passes the shrine she lays her floral offering at Our Lady’s feet. Beginning with May Day and continuing throughout the month each class in turn visits the shrine. Thus all month long Our Lady’s praises are sung and her shrine is kept beautiful. The Act of Consecration that rises aloft from each devout soul on these occasions carries with it a haunting reminder of this beautiful custom. Agnes E. Shea 1‘nge One Hundred Forty-four Rev. Leo J. Gii.i.erak, S. J. Retreat Every year the annual retreat has taken place immediately after the midyear examinations. This year it was decided that an early retreat would offer an excellent opportunity for a flying start for the infant sodality. There- fore on October 22 and 23, 1936, the students were silenced by the call to recollection. Reverend Leo J. Gilleran, S. J., of Boston College, conducted the exercises. Father inspired all with his dynamic, Christlike personality. The sincerity and directness of his conferences, the firm and kind words of advice are imprinted on every heart. A natural leader of souls, radiating zeal. Father Gilleran endeavored to arouse in each heart a great love for Our Lady. She was the inspiration of the general theme, The Ideal Saint Xavier Girl. This last retreat at Saint Xavier’s will long be remembered. One month afterwards we learned with great sorrow that God had called Father Gilleran to his eternal reward. The grateful prayers of the girls of Saint Xavier’s follow him. Requiescat in pace! Following the precedent established last year, the graduates went back into retreat for one whole day, June 7. Reverend Camillus Boyd, O. P., directed the exercises. The last Monday of school, the beginning of Commencement Exer- cises, found each one busy about one thing—her soul’s salvation. The whole past year and future years seem to be compressed into a few hours of recollection. High Mass, sung by the juniors, opened the retreat. The day was divided up into conferences, recitation of the rosary at intervals, the Eucharistic Way of the Cross, confessions, and visits. The day closed with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament at four o’cloc k. Margaret E.

Miss Mary Ecci.es Aleetmgs and Socials We, the graduating class of 1937, shall indeed deem it an honor to join the ranks of these true women whose Catholic spirit has continued to spread its inspiring influence, even though they are no longer students of St. Xavier’s Academy. As alumnae of their beloved Alma Mater, the programs they have sponsored have disclosed only Catholic culture and sociability. In October, many academy seniors served at the tea and fashion show which proved entertaining to the participants, and which rewarded the untiring efforts of the committee by its financial success. The Blackstone Valley Unit, too, reaped an abundant harvest as a result of its annual dance ai the Pawtucket Golf Club. A rare and delightful entertainment was provided in November in the person of Tony Sarg with his marionettes. The world-famous Mr. Sarg, with his talented daughter, was well rewarded by the enthusiastic audience. The Page One Hundred Forty-six Thanksgiving Bridge held by the Blackstone Valley Unit also demonstrated the efficiency to entertain possessed by St. Xavier’s Alumnae. Marie Houston, a talented singer, was featured in December. Her subject, “Old and Modern Songs of Picturesque Lands,” was delightfully illustrated by the songs sung by Miss Houston. At the annual Christmas party, both members and guests enjoyed themselves to their heart's content. Both the alumnae themselves and the gradu- ating class of seniors joyfully responded to the invitation so graciously extended by Miss Margaret La Croix, to the annual reception at the Biltmore Hotel. 'Lite artistic as well as the entertaining ability was well displayed at the Valentine Tea. Perhaps the most interesting and rarest function of the year was “The Church in Modern Europe,” a lecture given by the well-known writer and lecturer, F. j. Sliced. Not only did this offer a marvelous opportunity to Academy seniors, but also to students throughout the entire city. For this rare opportunity we extend our heart-felt thanks to our “big sisters,”—our alumnae! A triduum of grace in honor of St. Francis Xavier was held under the auspices of this group on March 10, 11, 12. The exercises were conducted by Reverend Russell M. Sullivan, S. J., of Holy Cross College. The Dramatic Club’s annual presentation was held on April 29. The annual banquet held in June crowned the year’s social activities. From the ranks of the graduating class of 1936, eight were called to become spouses of the Eternal King. Happy indeed are they who are now enrolled at Mount Saint Rita’s to become future Sisters of Mercy. These novices are: Helen Agnes Bennett .......................Sister Mary De Ricci Mary M.

Condolences: To those from whom Cod has taken loved ones, we offer sincere condolences. May they not consider their loss as a wearisome cross, for His Cross was much heavier and more painful: may they recall that their deceased friends or relatives have reached their Journey’s End and are awaiting us, that we may join them in adoring the everlasting King! Appreciation: We, the Class of ’37, wish to extend our sincerest gratitude to the Alumnae for their undying interest in their “little sisters” and to express our hearty thanks for the many gracious invitations which we have received through their gener- osity. Josephine A. Calabro Margaret M. Catterali, Page One Hundred Forty-seven The M anan Ai-otlierkood Assembl y Mrs. Cornelius Sullivan This is an organization which combines sociability and culture with the practice of our Holy Religion, namely, that of Catholic Action. Its very purpose is to foster those ideals in its members by promoting a spirit of closer co-opera- tion between the faculty and the students. We are privileged to express our appreciation for the interest this organization has shown in our school. Conse- quently, to the President, Mrs. Cornelius E. Sullivan, her efficient Executive Board, and all other committees and members, the Faculty and Students unite in expressing their sincere gratitude. Marjorie M.

Nichols Play Day Each week throughout the school year gymnasium periods are held for all the classes of the academy under the direction of Miss Helen Slattery. These regular classes consist of marching, drills, games, and dances. The physical benefit received is balanced by the relaxation of this period. In the early part of May, our annual Play Day is held. The Undergraduates all do their part with drills, folk dances, games, and stunts, while the seniors act as their guests. The chief feature of the day is the presentation of the shield to the class winning two of three games in basketball. This year the juniors were victorious in capturing the shield, on which was engraved “Juniors 1937.’’ Ei.f.anor M. Mf.anerhon Page One Hundred Forty-eight Farewell To A1 ma Abater Today upon the threshold dear we stand. The westering roads stretch forward to our view; As classmates gather round and teachers loved We know, alas, ’tis time to say adieu. We look again upon those sheltered walls, We hear those luring voices call once more To stroll again the paths of Memory Lane And chat and laugh as oft we did before. But forth with teachings learned so well, so well. We must our efforts bend to others lead; And if at times a trial does mar our path With prayer on our lips we shall succeed. O Mystic Rose, we place our trust in you, Our hearts attuned to love we fondly raise, With tear-dimmed eyes we bravely sing to you An everlasting grateful hymn of praise. Mary M. Cottam Your Alma Mater’s heart is pained To see you leave this sheltered place, Where joy and peace have long remained And love has fostered every grace. Would that in her heart so full, Her daughters here might linger still. But greater forces now demand Obedience to Another Will. When future years shall come and go And you are weary of your part. Return at length to find repose In Alma Mater's loving heart. espouse Dorothy A.
