Had Fr. Duggan for Religion a term. He was telling us about evolution, and the modes in which the age of the world has been conjectured, but as interesting as was his dialogue, we were in fits at his killing delivery, his hand being almost flat on the top of his head, and the euphemistic phrases he uses. – Dr. Scannell gave me a letter he received from the Educational Board about my going in for music for the exams as I am learning outside school. Had to fill in certain questions – Dr. Scannell came to say he is going away to-morrow for Paris. Then he is for Hungary, where he will stay for Xmas hols. – Went to choir. Heard Mrs. Egan play some charming violin minuets by Mozart.
Yesterday we were beaten again for Junior Cup by North Mon. 2-1. We have no luck!
