A badger came out of his den, and one after another 7 more of them appeared . She also tells that there were two people over 70 at the time (in the village or townland? I remain intrigued that so much of the collection from Mulroy school has been provided by Mary Vaughan, and equally intrigued by the fact that there is usually no pupil recorded as the collector, indicating that it is likely that our grandfather spent a lot of time with her listening to her recollections and stories.

That he enjoyed them is beyond question as it is possible to see the humour shine through.

Much of the collection is beautifully hand written by the pupils themselves with the name and age of the informant usually given at the end of each piece. I particularly love the entries that describe names of fields, rocks etc in several townlands, such as seen below from Glen school. (This last story is new to me and I must get more information about it.anyone help? We were pupils here for some years, with Enda Ward as Principal, but never knew our grandfather who died in 1944.

The pages below for example are the work of Cyril Hall from Aughalatty. ) When the Schools Folklore Collection was undertaken, our grandfather James D Gallagher was the school principal at Mulroy National School.

Translated, it goes like this: I cant help but wonder if the first sentence is inserted by our grandfather, and is tongue in cheek, or did Mary with a glint in her eye recite it exactly as written? But what we do know is that our grandfather and Mary Vaughan spent a lot of time talking and listening and recording her social scene.

Little did they know that their efforts would see the light of day decades later and their descendants would have a chance to step back in time and share their times together.
