Happy Days

    From their website... From 1890 until 1980 the old Good Counsel College stood in the heart of New Ross. It was a small boarding school which catered for students from all parts of Ireland. Quite a bit of variation in the school uniform here. Some with ties, some without, and several different tie designs. Some with waistcoat, some without. And many with no uniform.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Thanks for the confirmation on New Ross! Wonder if it was an easy-going environment at this school - not such strict regulation of uniforms?
  • Peter Denton said:
    I love the informality of this group shot - and what's so noticeable is that the kids clearly had a terrific relationship with the staff: arms draped round each other, even two boys sitting on masters' shoulders. Looks like it was a fine school with a happy atmosphere.
  • heady school said:
    Not a cleric in sight. Wonder if that made the difference.
  • Swordscookie said:
    Marvellous school shot. Instead of standing to attention in lines waiting for execution they are all relaxed and at ease. Wonderful memory for the lot of them.

    6/11 with moustaches 7/11 with floral buttonholes and armbands ...
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    That's probably the Mayor at the time John J. Wyley who came up in previous discussions. He looks a bit more like 35 than the last candidate:
  • O Mac said:
    Do you know how St Patrick managed to get so much done? He had a very large staff.

    Three priests - is that usual ?
  • derangedlemur said:
    beachcomber australia Rectors and curates, more likely. Heaslips generally are COI. There was a Jack Heaslip who was the curate in Malahide for a while, but he'd have been a generation later than this. Coincidentally, he was followed by a Mr Long (I can't remember his christian name). Edit: Kingsley Long - that was his name.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There is also a studio shot of the central four, if that is any help - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000595315
  • derangedlemur said:
    Mind you, in 1911, all the Kilkenny Longs and the only two Kilkenny Heaslips were RC, so maybe they're priests after all.
  • John Spooner said:
    Narrowing the date very slightly, familysearch.org shows Jack John Heaslip marrying Eilis Long in the 4th quarter of 1952 in Thomastown registration district.
