presented the lights in the theatre mysteriously fail. An
act of God perhaps?
28 Feb. The JCT progress to the last four, beating St. Michael's
7-6 in a thriller played in Donnybrook.
9 Mar. A semi-final win over Wesley takes a Gonzaga JCT team
to Lansdowne Road for the first time in the school's
history.
10 Mar. In a memorable prelude to the 5th year project, Cormac
Deane, Edmund Garvey and a Pink Elephant appear on
RTE's "Jo Maxi".
13-18 Mar. Against all odds, 27 pirates, the "Red Rackham", a pink
elephant (Clarabella) and gangs of 5th years depart for
Limerick and the city centre. The project was launched by
"Chuck" from Glenroe with the three charities, GOAL,
Focus Point and the Saint Vincent de Paul (Kerdiffstown
House) represented. £19,000 was raised in total.
19 Mar. The Junior Cup Team are unlucky not to convert superior
possession into scores in a tense final held at Lansdowne
Road. The game ends in a 0-0 draw. The memory of
Johnny Daly's determination to play on in the face of
injury will long endure.
22 Mar. A packed exam hall in Trinity sees the demise of the
Gonzaga bid to become the top debating school in the
country. Dowling and Downes fail to convince on the
motion "that this house would publish and be damned"
in a tense debate chaired by Prof Brian Farrell.
23 Mar. The Juniors go down 8-6 in the replay, unable to
reproduce the dominance of the first tie. All praise must
go to the squad, Mr Byrne and Mr Walsh for their fine
cup run.
11 April Mr Bevan's school magazine appears. Well put together
and featuring some excellent cartoons. Further issues are
planned, but will they materalise?
14-16 April Miss McConville escorts an eager 3rd year on a much
delayed Burren trip.
21 April The Amnesty Group stages Don Thylor's translation of
'~tigone" by Sophocles. Mr Regan's imaginative
direction and fine performances from all the cast provide
an evening of great dramatic intensity.
22-23 April The combined chess teams pull off the double, winning
Minor and Junior All-lreland titles. Mr Murphy is rather
pleased.
