This book was published, in magazine format, to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the establishment of Mount Saint Joseph Christian Brothers School, in 1824.

Unfortunately we are not in a position to reproduce the full publication at this time but, hopefully the remaining articles will be supplied at a later date.

OaC are indebted to Jimmy McMahon for his voluntary work in digitising these articles and to Mr. Micheál O Maolchaoine for permission to publish them in our on-line archive.

The text has been reproduced here as closely as possible to the original, with only obvious typographical errors being corrected (The title of the article originally on page 73) – CLARE MUSIC: Gilbert Barry and Willie Clancy, has been changed to read ‘Garret Barry’

OaC do not necessarily endorse or accept any opinions or facts quoted in the book.

Scanning and proof-reading was by Jimmy McMahon, additional proof-reading and organisation for the internet by Donal De Barra.
