Three EDITORIAL

After the exciting events recorded in last year's Annual to mark the College Centenary, and their once-in-a-lifetime flavour, the school year recorded in this edition ofthe Annual was similar to so many that have gone before and the life of the school returned to its accustomed predictable flow. Apart from the essential academic work of the classroom and the examination hall, many students took part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. These included the Young Scientist Exhibition, sponsored by Aer Lingus, Slogadh, the College Musical, the Choir. In Cup Rugby, St. Michael's proved to be our Achilles Heel this year, edging out the SCT in the quarter-final and the JCT in the semi-final. The death of Bishop Joseph Whelan reminded many people of the years immediately following the re-opening of the College in 1926 and the contribution that the late Bishop made to St. Mary's both as Prefect and later as Dean of Studies. The deaths of Fr. Noel Banahan and Fr. Colm Murray, both at a relatively early age, were a source of deep sadness to their families and to the many friends who remember them from their schooldays here. The tragic death of Paul Finn in a road accident at the age of 23 was a cause of shock and much grief to all in the College. The late appearance of this edition would have been even later were it not for the generous help and prodigious memories of a number of people who came to the aid of the Editor in his distress! Chief among them were Fr. W. Maher, Mrs. I. Cotter, Mrs. I. Gordon, Stephen Conlon, Richard Purcell, Ken O'Riordan, Tom Bradley, Brian Nisbet, Ruaidri Hughes, Ronan O'Donnell, Mark Donnellan and Kieran Lewis. To them and to all at Ela Press, particularly Mr. P. Funge and Mr. R. Kelly, a word of sincere thanks. Mieux vaut tard que jamais! Peter Raftery, CSSp.

Twentyfive FAREWELL TO MR. PAT FLOOD In January 1991, Mr. Flood left 51. Mary's to take up a new teaching post in Co. Donegal. His colleagues on the Staff and the 6th Year students, who thought very highly of him, made presentations to express their appreciation and to offer their good wishes.

Mr. Conlon, Senior School Principal, makes a presenta­ tion to Mr. Flood on behalf of the Staff. 3. Mr. Flood with Ms. Boylan, Mr. Kirby, Cormac Barry and Marc Mcl oughlin in the back• ground. 4.

Marc McLaughlin says a few appropriate words before mak -ing a presentation to Mr. Flood on behalf of 6th Year. 6. Mr. Flood saying goodbye to 6th Year. 7. Mr. Brennan and Pol Uasal Mac Murchu. THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS . ..

A Look at the School Year, 1990-1991 Christmas Term Thursday, August 30th New students to First Year in the Senior School attend an Orienta­ tion Course during the morning. Tbe new school year begins after a long hot summer during which West Germany won the World Cup, Prince came to Cork, the new £1 coin was introduced and Brian Keenan, to the great delight of all, was released from captivity after almost five years imprisonment as a hostage in Beirut.

Friday, August 31st All Senior School students turn up today. We extend a welcome to Fr McNulty, the new President, Fr Flavin, Mrs Russell-Klein and Ms McHugh on joining the teaching staff. A special word of welcome is extended to Mr Michael Brennan on his return to the College. The feeling of grievance, normally associated with the return to classes, is heightened today by the knowledge that classes in the Junior School do not resume until next Tuesday. First Year wonder if they should have stayed where they were after all.

Saturday, September 1st Initial practice sessions for SCT and JCT players are conducted in Kenilworth by Mr Dunne, Fr Flavin and Mr Cotter.

Sunday, September 2nd Cork defeats Galway in the All-Ireland Hurling Final in Croke Park, as Mr O'Gorman reminds Mr Newell.

Monday, September 3rd . Elections for Class Captains, Vice-Captains and other high-ranking officials are in full swing up and down the school.

Tuesday, September 4th A half-day, to facilitate a staff meeting, is welcomed by the students, at least. The Junior School swings into action today. First Rehearsal for My Fair Lady takes place in Notre Dame this evening. Our good wished go with Fr W. Maher, who entered hospital today. We wish him a swift recovery.

Father Flood keeps an eye on proceedings on Sports Day. Mr. Naughton checks Karl Jennings and Fergal Rigby in the Bicycle Race/ Mr. and Mrs. E. Rigby with Garvan, Laughlin, Oran and Fergal on Prize Day. .,

Wednesday, September 5th Fr Raftery's new shoes aroused the interest of a number, especially the loafers.

Thursday, September 6th Congratulations to Marc McLaughlin of 6th Year whose election as Captain of the School was announced today. He will be assisted by Paul Barry, Colm Lucey and Robert Murphy. Mr Conlon took a pre-class stroll in the direction of the Swimming Pool to see which was the stronger smell - chlorine or nicotine. 5th Year have in introductory Career Talk from Mr J. Quinsey (of Guinness) on Management Accountancy.

Friday, September 7th The first week of the term is always the longest - hence the ringing of the final bell twenty minutes before the scheduled time was a more than usually welcome gesture this afternoon.

Saturday, September 8th On this day , one hundred years ago , St Mary's College opened its doors to receive its first 34 students. To mark the occasion, a special Mass was celebrated in the College Chapel at noon. The chief concelebrant was Fr Brian McLaughlin, Provincial. The guests included many members of the other Spiritan communities in Ireland. The Superior General was represented by Fr Michael Doyle. Also invited were the teaching staffs of both Senior and Junior Schools and the Centenary Committee. Today also marked the Golden Jubilee of the Religious Profession of Fr Daniel Curtin of the Commmunity to whom we extend our congratulations.

Sunday, September 9th The Past Pupils Union held its Annual General Meeting this morning during which Dan Coveney was invested with the Chain of Office of President in succession to Frank Dowling.

, Monday, September 10th Jason found his razor during the weekend and so avoided the dry shave promised by the Dean, who is mean. Most of 5A2 English were conducted, under a tight security net, to the office, to be booked for being unbooked, so to speak. • Tuesday, September 11th 6th Year have a Day of Retreat in Avila Retreat House on Morehampton Road. Our thanks to Fr S. Casey, who directed it and to Fr D. Curtin and Fr V. Browne who assisted.

Despite the thrills of Sports Day, someone must keep in touch with the Stock Exchange. 2nd year prizewinners, Aidan Quinlan, Kenneth O'Riordan, Derek Trenaman and Fergal O'Duffy. Mark O'Keeffe exercises his tonsorial skills on Donaugh O Briain. Wednesday, September 12th Scratch Saturday comes a few days early this week as 5th Year are sent home a few minutes before the bell - and not for being good. Fr Flavin organised a JCT match between the Unlikelies and the Im.probables. Junior School hopefuls turn out under the supervision of Dr Deasy et fils. Every silver lining has a cloud - the days of unbroken sunshine make for very hard ground conditions in Kenilworth.

Thursday, September 13th Rumours that Fr Byrne has been abducted by the Mafia were strengthened by reports th~t he was last seen boarding a flight to Rome at Dublin Airport early this morning. On the principle that it is better late than never, Mr Lewis, assisted by Mr Gillespie, Mr Doyle and Mr Naughton, organised a seminar to show 5th Year how to study. WE meet THEM - the St Mary's chorus for My Fair Lady encounter the Notre Dame contingent and spend the evening making sweet harmony - among other things.

The Under 14s have their first tog-out of the season in the new venue of Kenilworth. Apart from Gordon's shorts falling down, no new talent was uncovered. Fr Cleary expressed to the nation his satisfaction with 5th Year on his late night radio show.

Saturday, September 15th The Irish Press, which prides itself on printing the 'Truth in the News', contained a quotation from one St Mary's student who 'obtained four As' in the Inter 'without ever sitting the examination'.

The less alcoholically-minded stayed in school.

Thursday. September 20th T o

Friday, September 21st Mr Doyle, Mr McCarthy and a number of students from St Mary's and Notre Dame travel north as Co-Operation North activities for the new school year get under way.

During the Mass, prayers were offered for the happy repose of the soul of Hilary Fanning, a student of Notre Dame who took part in some of the joirit presenta­ tions by her school and St Mary's.

Thursday, September 27th 4th year have their retreat in Bethany, Harold's Cross today with Fr M. Cleary and School Chaplain, Fr A. Flood.

Monday, October 1st First Year's days of technicolor glory come to an end as their school pullovers come back from the menders. With undisguised relief, they lay aside the greens and reds, the browns and yellows (so reminiscent of this season of mists and mellow fruitfulness), in order to resume the noble navy blue, with Fidelitas in Arduis stamped on their (soon to be) manly chests.

Did you hear the one about ... Adrian Trenaman, winner of the Lorean Gogan Memorial Trophy for Debating with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Trenaman and his brother, Derek.

Thursday, October 4th 6th Year spend the day at the Higher Options Conference in the RDS, accompanied by Mr Lewis. Some of 5th Year, according to a notice in the Staff Room, spent the night at Kitty O'Shea's. We presume that it was at a theatrical performance of the same name in the Peacock Theatre and not at a similarly-named watering hole in Grand Canal Street. Today's Career Talk was by former student, Mr Liam Birkett.

Friday, October 5th Due to a dearth (not death) of English teachers, 5th Year were permitted to go home early. 1st year were a little bit disgruntled that the same privilege was not extended to them. TI1ey could have put the extra free time to good use in getting ready to join hordes of felJow teeny boppers at the Jason Donovan Concert at the Point Depot in the evening.

Sunday, October 7th The JCT play Roscrea and win 18-3 while the SCT lose 10-14. The Seniors' defeat must have had sometlung to do with the large dinner to which the team members were invited by courtesy of the Committee of the RFC.

Monday, October 8th Third Senior practice this evening proved that might is right. Peter Pirie's collar bone gave under strain from the direction of George Walsh.

Saturday; October 13th The College Choir sings at the wedding of Jennifer Roche (sister of recent past student, John) in Baliyroan Church this afternoon.

Monday, October 15th Overnight torrential rain made the rigours of a Monday morning even more rigorous - if such be possible. However, not even the rain could be held responsible for the various smoke alarms throughout the school going off at regular intervals during the day. The finger of suspicion is pointing at someone mucking about in 3rd Year. The Under 13s are dispossessed of their customary training ground on the Front Field to allow the SCT have a special coaching session directed by former pupil and international, PauJ Dean.

The Mad Hatter himself, Conall Flood, leads the cheering al Lakelands. (Wonder where he got the hat!} Patrick Doddy, Cillian McNulty and Neil Morris meet their match.

Friday, October 19th Half of 1st Year paid a visit to the Heritage Centre in Co. Wexford with Mr Cotter. Last year's Final Year held a reception in the Hall in the evening before hijacking a bus to Portmarnock where they engaged in further revelry until the small hours on the occasion of their Debs Dance. ·

Sunday, October 21st The Choir sing at the 12.30 Mass in Rathmines Parish Church today. Rehearsals for My Fair Lady end with a chorus of Happy Birthday for Cormac and Pete.

Monday, November 5th All return to school after the midterm break refreshed and renewed - except, perhaps, the members of the cast of the show who felt they never left the place after a gruelling week of rehearsals. The SCT won both matches of their Hallowe'en trip to England, defeating Wimbledon College 24-4 and traditional midterm rivals, John Fisher School, 20-8. T-shjrts were being sold at a great rate in the Library at lunchtime where the shoppers were treated to an impromptu recital by some disreputable pianists on an even more disreputable piano.

Thursday, November 15th Today's Career Talk on Careers in Science was so poorly attended that Mr Conlon felt compelled to round up some further support. As he himself remarked, you never know where a BSc. might land you. You never know, indeed.

Friday, November 16th The good people of Dublin were accosted at regular intervals as they went about their legitimate business by little men in blue pullovers collecting for Hume Street Skin and Cancer Hospital.

Monday, November 19th Competition for lunchtime seats in the Upstairs Office is becoming so intense that it is thought that some kind of reservation system will have to be introduced.

Saturday, December 15th Frosty conditions were so severe tn Kenilworth this afternoon that only one of the three scheduled JCT matches against Clongowes could take place. At least the opposition had a wide selection of reserves to choose from 'in casu necessitatis'.

Monday, December 17th Examinations are an unpleasant memory of the past. However, their consequences are an unpalatable fact of life in the present. Large bribes are being offered to change marks.

John Kilbride. 2nd Year support at Lakelands - John Lane, Michael Dwyer, Gary Murphy, Gavin Murphy, Fergal O'Duffy and Kelvin McNamee. Mr. D. Coveney, President PPU, makes his address on Prize Day. Tuesday, December 18th Last day of term - for students, that is.

Wednesday, December 19th 4th Year Parent-Teacher meeting took place this morning. A staff meeting followed which served to bring the term to some kind of an official end. Easter Term

Tuesday, January 8th First formal day of class took place today. However, to the great chagrin (French word) of all, a foul weather alert in the early afternoon meant an early end to class. Most of us made it home before the blizzard became too serious.

Wednesday, January 9th About half of us turned up for class this morning, while the other half stayed at home in bed, fretting about the amounnt of valuable class time they were missing. Those of us who came to school spent the time fretting about the amount of valuable leisure time we were missing. Mr Conlon solved the problems of both groups by' declaring it a day at noon.

Thursday, January 10th The meteorological Office let us down badly when the promised blizzard failed to materialise. As a result, we found ourselves putting in a full day in school. Today's Career Talk was on the work of an airline pilot and was given by Captain Dermot Rafferty - for whom an instantaneous fan club was formed in the depths of 2nd year.

Our intrepid reporter, however, managed to breach the wall of security, to bring back the news that a good time was had by all. Saturday, January 12th Most teams had a day off today as the country continues in the grip of a deep freeze. Sunday, January 13th We hastened to reassure any of our readers who may have been somewhat disquieted by a headline in one of the Sunday newspapers, 'Mary's New Broom Sweeps Clean' - this reference is not to Fr McNulty but to a more recently appointed President in the Phoenix Park.

Monday, January 14th We welcome back to school Pierce Hickey and Adrian Trenaman who have been upholding the honour of St Mary's in the Aer Ling us Young Scientist Competition in the RDS.

Tuesday, January 22nd The tedium of a winter Tuesday was lessened in 6th Year at least by Patrick's new haircut, designed to elevate when the 'Chips' are down.

Thursday, January 24th 1st Year had their parent-Teacher meeting. 4th Year Mfoi­ Company capitalised on the situation to trap the unwary into buying some plants at their outlet at the bottom of the stairs.

Madden of Rathmioes parish. headlines like 'St Mary's eliminate the Hospital', 'St Mary's in a different class' and 'St Mary's whitewash' make pleasant reading in this morning's newspapers. The Debating Society pays a visit to Sancta Maria, Ballyroan. our speakers are Kevin Connolly, Dermot Brabazon, Andrew Coady and Vincent Molony, and the motion under discussion is 'Man has become a victim of his own genius', With geniuses like the above in action, it must have been an evening of deep victimisation.

Friday, February 1st 'Tis an ill wind ... Today's lack of water- due, we hasten to assure you, to outside influences - meant that Mr Conlon was obliged to call it a day at lunchtime. Any dissenting voices were drowned in the ensuing stampede from the building.

Wednesday, February 6th The St Mary's edition of It says in the papers concentrated on headlines such as 'St Mary's overcome Newbridge', St Mary's impress' and 'Leahy seals it for Mary's.' The exceedingly low temperatures made it a hard day to get through, especially for the Under 13s in their first Cup match against Blackrock who unfortunately defeated us 20-0. The Under 14s lost 10-14 to High School at Danum. However, the prospect of snow and its attendant confusion brightened the hearts of many.

Thursday, February 7th For once, the meteorological office was right - the promised snow made its appearance. However, it came too late to be of much use to most of us. A staff meeting spent sometime examining the topic of 'learning by Osmosis'. Today's Career Talk was by Andrew O'Kelly on the subject of 'Quantity Surveying and Valuation'.

Friday, February 8th We did it! By hook or by crook, by fair means or foul, we managed a whole week without a full day's class. Sincere thanks to all who contributed to this magnificent achievement, especially the SCT (both postponed and played), the Staff meeting and the snow, without whose enthusiastic help, none of this would have been possible.

Tuesday, February 12th A welcome figure on the corridors this mornfog was Fr McNulty who has returned from hospital. We wish him continued and sustained progress to full health and activity. Shrove Tuesday meant a half-day.

Wednesday, February 13th Ashes were blessed and distributed in the Chapel this morning to mark the beginning of Lent.

Thursday, February 14th Today's Career Talk was by former student, Stephen Drumm, on 'Computer Applications'. We travelled to Port Laoise in the afternoon to cheer the JCT on to a 12-0 victory over Cistercian College, Roscrea in the grounds of the local RFC.

Friday, February 22nd No classes today to enable the teaching staff attend an In-Service Day in preparation for the new Junior Certificate. At a late hour, as bad luck would have it, the Junior Cup match against Terenure had to be postponed. As worse luck would have it, we were not in school due to the aforementioned item. As a result, dozens of St Mary's supporters descended on Donnybrook in search of the non-existent match and no doubt increased the frazzlement (if there be such a word) of tbe already frazzled nerves of weary Friday evening commuters, anxious to leave the care of the city behind.

Saturday, February 23rd The Under 14s travelled to Belfast to play Campbell ColJege and lost the A and B matches, 16-25 and 0-3, but won the C game, 28-4. Our thanks to Mr Campion who organised this new venture and to Mr McNamee and Mr McNally.

Sunday, February 24th The Senior Cup match went the way of the Junior one last Friday and had to be postponed due to adverse ground conditions in Donnybrook.

Monday, February 25th The imperfect knowledge of the imperfect tense in 3A provided their teacher (French) with a fair deal of mileage for puns which ranged from bad, through awful, to the downright appalling - like the above.

final against St Michael's, postponed from Sunday last, has had to be postponed yet again.

Wednesday, February 27th Another day of rumours as 'it is' and 'it isn't' succeed one another in unremitting monotony up and down the corridors. 'It isn't' won the day as the SCT match undergoes another postponement. The pessimists say that the encounter will have to be decided by the toss of a coin.

Thursday, February 28th The long-awaited and oft postponed quarter-final between St Mary's and St Michael's takes place in Donnybrook this afternoon at 4 p.m. Despite leading 10-3 at halftime, we went down in the second half to a superior St Michael's XV. Our condolences to the team and our thanks to Colm and his men for having so proudly borne our name and for placing us amongst the top eight schools in Leinster. The final score was 14-31.

Friday, March 1st We look for some comfort in today's papers whose accounts of yesterday"s match were loud in their praise of St Michael's - and rightly so. The bitter pill of defeat was somewhat sweetened by references to St Mary's 'dream start when No. 8, John Bainbridge, drove over from a five-metre scrum to score a try which Fergal Campion converted'. 'St Mary's had the consolation of scoring the tty of the match, when Ormond sprinted past the defence to score a memorable second try'. Mrs Anne Glancy, for many years a member of the domestic staff, died today. May she rest in peace.

Saturday, March 2nd A day of endless excitement started with Stephen MacDevitt making his television debut on 'Scratch Saturday.' In the afternoon, Ireland lost 7-16 to England at Lansdowne Road, despite being 3-3 at halftime. Shades of last Thursday.

Monday, March 4th 'St Mary's advance', 'St Mary's \Vin' and 'Hickie stars for St Mary's' - so read the papers for today. 'Nuff said!

In the evening, Forms 6 and 61 have a Service of Commitment as part of their pre-Confirmation programme in the Chapel in the evening.

Thursday, March 7th Physics classes had an unexpected opportunity to perform aquatic experiments in the Science Room which was flooded due to a tap which had been (accidentally, we hope) left running all night. Maintaining the scientific theme, Mr Lewis arranged for today's Career Talk to be on 'Opportunities for Science in UCD', given by Mr Winder. The Debating Society visited Our Lady's School, Templeogue to find out whether a woman's place is in the home or not. It seems that Our Lady's had very definite views on the subject because they won.

Friday, March 8th Another day of heavy rain led to last-minute cancellation of weekend fixtures. Too late to be cancelled was the long-standfog fixture between the Junior School and their annual Welsh visitors who had to contend with a late ferry arrival as well as the bad weather. The golf team, Paul Nagle, Ronan Lynch, Diannuid McArdle and Keith McLaughlin, lost to CUS in the afternoon.

Sunday, March 17th Our Junior Cup hopes, which the team had sustained for so long and so bravely, fell today on the field of Donnybrook, as we suffer an 18-7 defeat from St Michael's in tbe semi-final. Our sympathy and our thanks to Karl Jennings and his team, to Fr Flavin, :Mr Derek Jennings and to Mr Frank Keogh.

Monday, March 18th A free day, as the State, in its bounty, grants us a public holiday to celebrate St Patrick. The Irish Independent spoke of Garrett Gannon scoring a try yesterday 'after an excellent passing movement, following quick possession from a ruck after seven minu tes.' The Irish Press commented on Denis Hickie making 'a number of great runs from broken play' while the Irish Times highlighted St Mary's expert moving of the ball.

Tuesday, March 19th All return to school with a double dose of the Monday Morning Blues, even though it is Tuesday- the defeat of the JCT on Sunday and the beginning of the Easter examinations. T he crazy howlings of a demented dog in the earlier part of the morning did not do much to help.

Monday, April 15th After months of wondering if a fine day had become something of the past, like Seven Times Tables with the Money, Mother Nature put on her best display of spring weather. It had its inconvenient side in making class work more tedious than nsual, especially for the polyglots (the wha'?) whose fortnight of oral ordeals in French, Irish and German begins today.

Saturday, April 20th Everythfog was in order for Junior School cricket - shining whites, newly mown creases, patient parents reading the Irish Times - the only exception to the general rule was the weather, which had touches of midwinter about it.

Tuesday, April 23rd Strike action by the ESB resulted in a number of power cuts during the day - the fact that they occurred before we came to school and after we left was, we felt, a rather blatant oversight on the part of the ESB. 4th Seniors travel to Castleknock to play their League Final against St Paul's and win 10-0. Congratulations to Captain, Paul Nagle, his team and the trainers.

Less than a mile from St Mary's College stands the house in Synge Street in which George Bernard Shaw was born in 1856. Into an extremely long life of 94 years, he packed a great deal of literary activity and of his dramatic works, the play Pygmalion is one of the better known. It was on this play that a gifted American librettist, Alan Jay Lerner based his work My Fair Lady. The music was

However, the gamble paid off and four performances were given in the Notre Dame Hall from November 8th to 11th, 1990, · the eighth musical collaboration between St Mary's College and Notre Dame des Missions. The part of Professor Higgins was taken by Joseph Heron. He wisely decided not to imitate the famous interpretation of this part by Rex Harrison in the film version of the musical. Instead, he brought to his interpretation of the irascible speech professor's role a freshness and originality as well as a prodigious memory for the enormous number of lines which the part entailed.

Julie Lynch (Mrs. Eynsford-Hill). Patrick Doddy (Zoltan Karpathy).

Sixtyfour Jacqueline Fogarty portrayed the Cockney flower seller, Eliza Doolittle, to perfection. Her singing of such famous numbers as Wouldn't it be loverly and I Could Have Danced All Night were most impressive and her appearance at Ascot Races and the Embassy Ball proved her to be indeed a fair lady. Eliza's fickle but lovable father, Alfred Doolittle, was played by Keith Brennan. His performance each night proved him to be as gifted an actor and singer as his brothe r, Paul, whose interpre tation of Tevye last year in Fiddler on the Roof is still remembered with delight. Keith was at hfa best in his Act II appearance, prior to his marriage, in Get me to the church on time. David Leech played the part of the peppery Andrew Coady {Freddie Eynsford-HIII}. ex-Colonial Colonel Pickering whose kindness Eliza much appreciated after the bullying tactics of Professor Higgins to made a lady out of her proved hard to take. David gave great' enter­ tainment each evening during the performance, particularly in his telephone call to the Home Office, as he tried to ascerta:in the whereabouts of Eliza who had run away from Higgins' rather draconian methods. Lisa Walsh played the part of the Professor's housekeeper, Mrs Pearce, and gave a throughly satisfying interpretation as the no-nonsense housekeeper in an upper-class Edwardian home in one of the more fashionable suburbs of London.

To Aileen and her choir, we offer our congratulations as well as our thanks for the expertise she brings each year to the show, whether it be the students on stage or the players in the orchestra.

Costumes for the girls were the responsibility of Mrs S. Cooke and Mrs M.. Sheridan, while Mr Kevin and Mrs Mary Flood did wonders in fitting out the St Mary's contingent in toppers and tails.

Transition Year European Tour, May 1991 After a slight delay, involving the provision of a coach for our journey to Rosslare, our departure from Rathmines on Friday, May 24th was marked by the synchronised pressing of the play button on the numerous ghettoblasters throughout the coach. Our journey to our port of departure jn Co. Wexford was relatively uneventful. After a short stop in Arklow to feed the inner man, we arrived in plenty of time for our ferrv in Rosslare. We checked in , and after having boarded the vessel , all were assigned to their cabins. An enjoyable night was spent by all at the cinema or in the disco , although, for some strange reason, the disco proved to be the more popular of the two. An early rising at 8.00 a.m. on Saturday morning was carried out to a rising chorus of moans and groans. However, the effects of a good breakfast made themselves felt as we set off in good humour in hot pursuit of 'les jeunes Robert Keelan, Adrian Lewis. Fran~aises' whose acquaintance we had made at the disco the previous evening. On our arrival in Cberbourg, we were met by our jovial and humourous Belgian driver, Franz, who had our coach waiting for us. We set off without delay and soon arrived at our first port of caJI, Arromanches, where we had a very enjoyable visit to one of the D-Day museums, followed by some free time which gave us a chance to try out our French on the local shopkeepers. Most opted for sign language. We enjoyed some spectacular scenery on our journey from Arromanches to Paris, the climax of which was our ride down the Champs Elysees on our a1Tival in the French capital. Franz parked near the Arc de Triomphe and we made our way to the celebrated Restanrant Flunch for our evening meal. The meal was delicious. However, our enjoyment of it was somewhat lessened by the knowledge that one of our number had decided to take a sightseeing tour of his own, which separated him from the group as we made our way 'a pied' to the restaurant. Due to the efficiency and speed of our teachers and of the French police, our young 'voyageur' was soon found, none the worse for his experience, although to this day he bears the name of 'Christopher Columbus' Eoghan Kenny in memory of his exploratory adventure.

Sevemy After dinner, we drove to our hotel, just outside Paris at Moragnis. This hotel was of a particularly high standard and a sound night's sleep was had by all. The following day, Sunday, we set off after an early rising to attencl Mass in the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. Although the Mass was celebrated in the traditional rite, it was very interesting to follow, even if our understanding of what was being said and done was somewhat limited. After Mass, we commenced a guided sight-seeing tour of Paris which took in all of the main attractions, such as the Basilique de Sacre Coeur at Montmartre, the Tour Eiffel and the Place de la Concorde. Our tour of Paris ended with a boat trip on the River Seine which was most enjoyable. Our evening meal was again enjoyed at the Restaurant Flunch. The only thing different from our previous visit was that on this occasion, all 47 were present. On Sunday night, we visited a carnival close to our hotel. On Monday, we left Paris bound for the East. Our destination was the University city of Heidelberg (shades of The Student Prince). Gareth 'Legs' Henson. On our way, we stopped at a filling station where we availed of the opportunity to capture some of the breathtaking German scenery on film. On our arrival, we sampled some delicious German cuisine in our hoteJ and then set off to experience the thrills of a roller disco. In spite of the bumps and bruises which we all sustained, a great time was had by all. We spent some time in the centre of Heidelberg where we quizzed some German students about Ireland. However, some of the group, who were feeling homesick, headed straight for McDonald's. Tuesday night was spent in the city of Koblenz. Wednesday brought us to a coalmine at Reinbraun, 30km outside Cologne where we had a most interesting visit. We were fascinated at the size and scale of the mine, its machinery and the various figures pertaining to its yearly production and ,income. . A restful night was spent in our hotel and an early start on Thursday led to a day of travelling from Germany through the border to Belgium. Franz gave us a most amusing tour of his native city, Brussels - and then we stopped in order to roam freely in the city and enjoy its sights. After a short journey to our next borne-from-home, a Brussels Youth Hostel, we headed for the local bowling alley/snooker hall. After a not-so-peaceful night's sleep, we Keith McLaughlin, Marc McGlade, Eugene Gibney. began our long trek home on Friday morning. Sevemyone Garrett McHugh. Conor McGuinness.

Obituaries Bishop Joseph Brendan Whelan, CSSp., (1909-1990) Although Bishop Joseph Whelan's active involvement in St. Mary's College amounted to only five years, his name will always be held in honour and in grateful remembrance here. During the long years of his missionary career and during the period of his retirement, his interest in St. Mary's and his concern for its welfare were always to the fore. He was born in Limerick in April 1909 and completed his secondary studies in Blackrock College. He entered the Novitiate of the Holy Ghost Congregation, then situated in Kimmage Manor, in 1927 and made his First Profession as a religious a year later. He then studied at University College, Dublin, and made his first contact with St. Mary's in 1932 when he was appointed to the College for a two-year period of prefecting, which was then the norm for all students in the Congregation. In the St. Mary's College Annual of 1975, G . K. Boyd, who was a student here at the time, and who later became President of the Most Reverend Joseph Whelan CSSp. Past Pupils' Union in 1968, paints a charming picture of the youthful Mr. Whelan and speaks course in Rome where he was ordained in of his influence on the students who admired 1937. After a further two years of study, he was him so much.

Seve111yseven Paul Finn (1968-1991) Paul was a member of the Leaving Certificate class of 1986. His tragic death, as a result of a road accident, came as a great shock to many of the teachers and students in St. Mary's who still remembered him during his school days in the Co!Jege. His Funeral Mass, in the Church of the Holy Cross, Dundrnm, in April 1991, was attended by a large number of his classmates. The celebrant of the Mass was the President of the college, Fr. J . McNulty, and the Senior School Choir provided the music during the Mass. We offer the sympathy of the College to Paul's sorrowing parents, his brother Edward (a student in the Senio r School), his sister Lorraine, and Emma, his girl-friend. May he rest in eternal peace.

With the aid of our dedicated and diligent trainers, we selected the team that would represent the College in the Leinster Senior Cup. After many postponements, we finally played our first round match against St. Paul's College, Raheny at Jones Road on Tuesday, January 29th, 1991. The weather conditions were appalling and at one point we were trailing 0-4. However, a tremendous effort on the part of every player brought us back from that point to win 7-4. After a fortnight, we played Ollr second round match against Newbridge. This match, too, suffered a postponement due to INTER PROVINCIAL weather conditions.

Had it not been for the commitment of our trainers, the achievement of reaching a Leinster quarter-final would not have been possible. We offer them our thanks and our appreciation for their hard work and interest. The hospitality extended to the team by Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, Corodt. and Mrs. Lucey and Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin was also very much appreciated.
