around

In the 1910 - 1915 time frame, there were plenty of towns with no automobiles. It isn't hard to believe that someone with the first car in town could make money this way. Two cents times the number of people on board, would be profitable, and several trips around the block would bring in real money. Now isn't that typical of Americans?

St Clare’s Church was built and opened in 1927, and Tully became a separate parish in 1935. A community of Good Samaritan Sisters arrived in Tully in January 1928 in response to an appeal by Father Clancy and the Catholics of Tully. They opened a school on 3 February 1928 with an enrolment of 35 pupils, but by April this enrolment had risen to 75 pupils. The first classes were held in the church and in an old cottage which was modified for use as a school. On 10 December 1933, the foundation stone for St Clare’s School was laid. The first building consisted of three classrooms and was opened in 1934. The Good Samaritan Sisters finally closed their doors and departed from Tully in 1995, although our admiration for their contribution to this school, lives on. St Clare’s School is now staffed totally by lay teachers (not a member of a religious order) and ancillary staff. In 2011 Cyclone Yasi caused some damage to the school buildings and grounds of St Clare’s. Repairs were carried out and ongoing refurbishment continues, the most recent of which was last year.
