100th birthday
A HUGE Happy Birthday to our oldest past pupil, Danny Kirwan who celebrates his 100th birthday today. Danny was born in December 1916 and we were very proud and honoured to be invited to help him celebrate. We sang some of Danny's favourite songs; "Are you right there, Michael?" by Percy French; Cutting the Corn at Creeslough - a song about emigration, The Foggy Dew - a song about 1916 and finally especially in his honour, we sang Danny Boy.
We then presented him with a copy of a page from the roll book from December 1926, when Danny was preparing to celebrate his 10th birthday. Bevin was the person nominated to present it as her grandad, Peter Gallagher was a classmate of Danny's.
