St Francis Xavier Academy - Xavier Yearbook (Providence, RI)

Page 6 text:

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. Coi i kr
