Scoil na gCruach 1907-1971

MY YEAR AT CROAGHS SCHOOL 85 My year at Croaghs was filled with heatwarming memories as well as a great education. The cheery waves between us and all along the road , the goats grazing on Biddy's thatch roof, the blind-man 's buff for all ages, the stories, the cards, the raking, the magic ofj ohn Simey's fiddle by oil-lamp and blazing hearth, the creels of turf from the hill, the humour, the struggle and care for their cattle, sheep, dogs, children and elders and the genuine friendship made it the best year of my life. The school stands empty with windows bricked up but its story must be told.
