SCHOOL DIARY
1 September Fifty more students who forgot to read the fine print
arrive in Gonzaga.
4 September The remaining 300 students return to school
optimistically, with the introduction of a fourth year
transition year. What does this mean . . . ?
7-12 September Twelve lucky 6th-years embark on a week in
Lourdes, accompanied by Fr Dunne. An enlightening
experience is had by all involved in the Dublin
Diocesan Pilgrimage - Gonzaga' s fourth year to
participate.
15 September A series of 6 Irish Messenger Publication booklets,
5 of which were written by Jesuits living in Gonzaga,
is launched in the school by the Provincial Fr Philip
Harnett. Complete with multicoloured covers they
emphasise once again the ''trendiness'' of the Jesuits.
Mr McNelis is involved in a car accident.
21 September 5th-years get a chance to elect Michael Kelly and 6
other top administrators to the 5th Year Project
Committee. Fr Brennan does the honours.
29 September Mr Cusack pales visibly when he realises that
Gonzaga has won a debate. Four students prove to
Alexandra that "money is not the answer to
everything''.
5-6 October 6th-years get a chance to spend two days in
contemplation and renewal of their inner selves. Most
however, enjoyed the 6th-year retreat.
27 October Mid-term break begins. 6th-years head towards
Stratford to see some excellent performances of
Shakespeare's plays.
16-18 November Mr Bevan, recognising the challenge posed by
" Batman" puts his all into "Zigger, Zagger". Mr
Murphy is reminded that he has an opera to prepare.
1 December Annual Past Pupils' Dinner.
9/16/23 December On three consecutive Saturdays of pouring rain,
Vincent de Paul carollers raise a disappointing £800.
A lady with a cross tells Fr Moylan he has beautiful
eyes but she can't recall where she's seen him before.
She suddenly remembers ''The Return of the Pink
Panther", she says "You' re Peter Sellers".
