Nearby, stands L-shaped Academy Hall, the most modern of the Academy's three buildings. With ivy covering its red brick facade, Mercy Hall is situated between Academy Hall and Xavier Hall, the resi- dence of Saint Xavier's faculty. As the first of the present structures, Mercy Hall was erected in 1855 to house expanding enrollment.

Stopping for a short visit, many Xavierites solve their troubles while reciting the rosary in the cool dimness of the Cathedral. Others shop and hold iobs after school in Providence de- partment stores. In the Providence Public Library, some students do research work and supplement their home assignments. Lingering over sodas and doughnuts in the snack shops, the girls discuss the happenings of their school day. Many St. Xavier's uniforms are seen at the mall while girls bound for home await the bright yellow U. E. R. buses. Easily recognized by their distinctive uniforms, the Xavier- ites uphold the Catholic traditions of their school by their courtesy.
