Likewise Scoil an Spioraid Naoimh- I was in the very first class in 63 from memory

SSN was kind of boring from what I remember tbh. CSN far more crack due to students being old enough to "organise" it!

Hated SSN as you say boring, principal Mr Murphy was a painful individual. CSN was a playground.Happy days

First principal was Con Burns a mad Kerry man We’d Hugh O Donnell as class teacher who regularly brought the class down to Murphy’s farm, there he ingrained in us his love of nature and Irish nationalist history- fab man ,died unfortunately and Mick Scannell took over ( ex cork footballer) as class teacher Before we moved into the bricks and mortar class room at one stage 63 boys were in our class

But Sir I've never done that...

Did I ask you that, shut up and get on with it.

DOC was great for the mountaineering and the rock operas/dramatic society.
