19 March: Paul Keelan again wins the rugby 7-a-side Competition,

before the game.
23 February: Sixth year Mocks begin.
25 February: Fr Lee, to the general amusement of Sixth year, approaches
me in the middle of my Latin Mock to ask me how the diary is coming
on.
27 February: A steady train of Fourth year biology students are seen
rushing from the biology lab to the toilets during class. Mr Mulgrew
is skinning a rabbit!
3 April: David Kennedy wins the Muintir Na Tire debating final.
4 April: Sixth Year A pupil, representing the school, was present at the
Ecumenical Service held at the Synagogue on Adelaide Road. One
surprising feature of the Service was that whilst the representatives of
the Catholic and Protestant communities sat quiet and expressionless

6-8 April: Irish Leaving Cert Orals.
9 April: The enigmatic Fr Moylan, during a Ienten Mass, commented

Fr Barber has asked him to pray for the school. "Now I see why", he

10 April: Easter holidays begin.
16 April-Holy Thursday: Fr Sexton approached a man who was
