- About 53 years ago there was a school in Garrynagore in the parish of Lixnaw. Over a hundred pupils attended it. Master Duggon was teaching there and he taught them Euclid, Geography, History, Sums and many other Subjects. The pupils had to be in in half past nine and they were left off at three in the evening.
In those days there were no desks and they had to sit on wooden blocks under an old shed. It was there also Tom Nolan was living and some of the big boys used to shake red pepper around the shed to make the cock crow.
It was the first school Tom Nolan ever went to. It was a Result school, that is the people who were learning used to pay the Master a half crown a quarter. He got no money from the Board of Education.
They had a fire in winter made of timber which they cut in the wood near by. Master Duggon was lodging in the shed with Tom Nolan.
