EDITORIAL
For all who are part of St. Mary's - students, teachers, parents and members
of the religious community - the memory of Fergus Kelly who died so
tragically during the school year under review in this Annual will always
remain vibrant, life-giving and always new. Despite the deep and,,genuine
grief we experienced when he died, we are also filled with gratitude that we
knew him. And in knowing him, we were inevitably led to love, admire and
respect him. With pride and affection, we dedicate this edition of the Annual
to Fergus' memory.
The Comfnunity had the happiness of celebrating the Diamond .Tubilee of
the Religious Profession of Fr. Martin Maiben. Fr. Cyril Byrne and Fr.
William Nugent kept their Golden .Tubilees and Fr. Peter Raftery his Silver
Jubilee. We were happy to welcome Fr. Francis Barry back to St. Mary's
amt we prayed for Fr. James McNulty during his period of serious illness
and rejoiced at his recovery.
_Fr. William Maher's monumental A History of St. Mary's College
Rathmines, Dublin 1890 - 1990 was published. He is to be warmly
:eongratulated _on his great achievement. A wealth of detail, a profusion
of photographs and Fr. Maher's impeccable English all combine to provide
' us with a mo-st interesting book.
· The tradition of th~, school opera continued into Us twelfth year. This year
· we 'were delighted to welcome the gids of St. Louis High School who joined
our'students to presfnl. a very enjoyable version of The Mil!:ado.
S~hipr ..
The'./act that the Cup Team and the Junior Cup Team were both
eliminated from their tespective competitions at a comparatively early stage
can someti~es mean· ilfat less than adequate tribute is paid to their efforts,
their dedication, their observa11ce of the highest standards ofp lay on the field
and of sportsmanlike conduct off it. To all the players on all the teams and
to all t~f!ir dedicated and generous trainers, ;we gladly pay this tribute.
The Maher, Pirie, Hickson '.and O 'Loughlin families all lost loved ones
during the 1994-1995 school year. We offer once again our sympathy and
the s1:1pport of our prayers._ · •
