    Sad to think all these guys are dead. I wonder what they achieved in their lives. Lovely historical shot.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Indeed, wonder how many went on to science as a career.
  • Christine Curtin said:
    Faces so full of promise.
  • Stuart said:
    How strange - notice that all the labelled chemical bottles are empty !! Wonder could this be a promotional photograph of their new chemistry laboratory- probably taken even before the first chemistry practical class? Obviously the lads are posing with no experiment to be performed. Stuart.

    You could be right, Stu. Watepark College was only 8 years old when this photo was taken: www.waterparkcollege.com/

    There is another poster just visible on the left of the Waterford Dundalk one, its for Dan Foley who was a labour candidate and the son of this man I think Mr Foley- Ferrybank N.S.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Paul O'Farrell I think you're absolutely right! It's fascinating the way familial threads can be traced through the Poole Collection photos.

    My dad went to a Christian Brothers School in Wexford.
  • Seán Ó Briain said:
    Does anyone know what's in place of this now? Trying to locate the exact location on Manor Street.
  • Paul O'Farrell said:
    One of the ugliest buildings in Ireland now occupies the spot Sean, this is it on google Streetview goo.gl/maps/TDymP

    The Fairy Queen beside the conductor especially looks REALLY happy! No wonder Waterpark were no good at rugby going around in pyjamas all the time!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Fairies, pixies, an animal or two. A King and a Queen fairy, obviously. The dude behind the conductor could be a flower. I'm guessing that all the taller lads at the back are supposed to be humans, as are some of the front row. Something based on A Midsummer Night's Dream, maybe?

    Swordscookie On the other hand, Waterpark fly halves really did have wings!
  • Swordscookie said:
    Nice riposte Carol and they did not need a well known caffeine crammed soft drink to get them either!

    Olds boys, very well...
