    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Stewart Contents Page No. Introduction 1 Background of Cranlome School and the Surrounding Area 2 Teachers who taught in Cranlome School 7 Students in the 1920/30’s 11 Students in the 1940/50’s 32 Students in the 1960’s 65 Selected Favourite Literature and Prose 72 Clergy of Killeeshil during the time Cranlome School was open 77 First Communion and Confirmation Photographs 80 Do you remember 85 Quinn/McElroy Memoribilia 86 School and Local Memoribilia 88 Cunningham Family School Photographs 91 Sources 92 Introduction When past pupils of Cranlome School would meet over the years, they would often reminisce and talk about their days there. It was at such a meeting in a Dungannon restaurant that the idea was born to hold a school reunion and prepare a little book about the school and memories of the pupils who went to this seat of learning over the forty years its doors were open. The project began when the first two past pupils got two more to join them and so the Research Team began their work which ha s taken over a year to bring to completion. Now they are looking forward to the 10th.September 2004 when all the Past Pupils from home and abroad will gather in Quinn's Corner where many old acquaintances will meet and have an enjoyable night. Acknowledgements Thanks to all those who loaned us photographs or contributed articles. To all those who gave us help and advice in anyway we are very grateful.
