    There's a great range of ages, some promising moustaches and some mature ones. They were no inter -cert classs at any rate. Look at the banding on the hurl of the young lad to the priests left? It is almost a lethal weapon with that metal banding. I had a hurl like that once and it was positively dangerous and a threat to life, it lasted for years but! The writing on the hurl held by the man third from the left in the middle row says "Coolagown" which is a place near Fermoy in Cork and seems to have had strong Waterford connections.

    Best to remember that it was a teacher training college and thus attracted students from all over. Funny though, most people in Waterford never use the word hurl, except when throwing things. Hurley is the preferred description, Perhaps that explains a lot?

    A wonderful old photo and taken at my old school. When I went here in the 70's there were boarders from all over the country there.

    Paul O'Farrell Ah, a De La Salle boy! And desmondg47 when did it stop being a teacher training college?
  • desmondg47 said:
    I believe it was in 1936 when the Minister for Education Tom Derrig (FF) refused to have it made a constituent college of the NUI.

    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!

    Nice riposte Carol and they did not need a well known caffeine crammed soft drink to get them either!

    Check out the haircut, Top row, centre! Clearly he had a carefree attitude!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    We've all had bad hair days, but there are some amazing (hair raising) heads in this photo...
  • J.o.t.a. said:
    I'm just thinking the same as Brian Mulligan, what a modern haircut. Lots of hair gel in some heads too.
