Signor Volpi
Mr. Ray Kearns Mr. Catha! O'Gara
He matriculated in 1930 and came to Dublin to University College. He
took his degree in mathematics, English, and Irish. This was followed by
his Higher Diploma in Education. In 1935 he went to teach in Monaghan
at the Christian Brothers school. He spent fifteen years teaching in
Monaghan. He came to Dublin in 1949 and taught in the all-Irish sc hool
Colaiste Mhuire for six years. In 1956 he came to Gonzaga College.
Generations of Gonzaga boys remember Cathal with affection as their
maths teacher. To the classes of 'jackeens' he brought the courtesy and
dignity of the best of the West of Ireland. It was good for them to learn
that Ireland is more than just Dublin.
