"School House, Ardmore, Staff"..Though differing from the diplomatic and academic "hoypaloi" of our recent RIA shot ( ...nlireland/18426438103/ ) , here we see another group shot with academic overtones from the summer of 1924. ..These are staff at the Ardmore schoolhouse in Co Waterford. Considering that the scholars from a companion photo (which we shared a few years back ( ...nlireland/5935868391/ ) ) are of the "mature student" variety, we presumed that these were the leaders of a school of language and music/culture. From previous investigations and the Waterford County Museum notes ( http://www.waterfordmuseum.ie/exhibit/web/Display/article/368/3/Ardmore_Memory_and_Story__The_Village_School_Days_In_Ardmore.html ) , we knew that the schoolhouse was demolished in the 1950s - but could we find-out any more about the school and staff?..As usual our intrepid Flickroonies were up to the challenge, and sharon.corbet ( /photos/129555378@N07/ ) Dr O Mac ( /photos/91549360@N03/ ) , and Carol Maddock ( /photos/47297387@N03/ ) in particular were able to confirm the location of the school, its use as a teacher-training facility, and even the likely names for some of the subjects of this and the companion photo...Photographer: A.
