As I remember it, I sat my Primary Certificate examination in the 6th class school room, in the military barracks, on June 6, 1960. I think the subjects were Irish, English, Arithmetic and Geography. The weather was beautiful. I remember having a packed lunch which I ate seated on the wall overlooking the town, along with a few other fellows. That was was the only time I ever took a lunch to school in primary school or secondary school.
