1978 OBITUARY

The sudden death of FR. THOMAS LYNCH, just before the G.C.E. Exams, came as a shock to so many who had known him. Fr. Lynch joined the College Staff in January 1947. He had taught for some years in English schools and was an Oxford M.A. in Mathematics. From the beginning of 1947 until the time of his death in 1978 he was teaching at Saints, and for many years was Games Master and Deputy Principal. Many Old Boys will remember Fr. Lynch on the Sports Field. He believed in concentrating on the two main games, football and cricket (though Rugby was played a few times). In his younger days he had been a good footballer (centre-forward, I think) and day after day he could be seen cycling to the Seawall ground, then standing on the touch-line and giving advice in a stentorian voice. In cricket too, he followed every

game with interest and would argue at length about some incident, or what the player SHOULD have done. But it was Athletics which became his great interest. He studied the whole matter scientifically - methods of throwing the discus - running - High Jumping. "It's all a question of Centre of Gravity. You've got to get your Centre of Gravity over the bar." During the time he was Games Master, he and Stannie Marques organised the Sports Days, which were generally of high standard. Fr. Lynch had an extraordinary memory, and years later he could recall many of his players and athletes. "X-? Oh yes, he was goalkeeper about 1948, Y- he was a left handed bowler and opening batsman, Z- he won the 100 yards in 1950." But Fr. Lynch was mainly a Maths Master. He had a clear and logical mind which could unravel any problem quickly. Though he probably taught every class in the College at some time or other, he was most successful with the older boys. The small boys could not keep up with his reasoning. For older pupils, and especially Sixth Form, he was just the sort of teacher they needed, and many of the Scholarship winners owed their success in science partly to their firm grasp of Mathematics. He believed in getting them started, then making them do as much as they could for themselves - while he was always there to help if needed. So they learnt self-reliance and found their own methods of study, a lesson which was to be valuable if they went on to a University. In addition to taking the Mathematics and Games, Fr. Lynch helped in many ways in the College. Every year he made out the timetable - a complicated task that no-one wants - and with his clear mind he put the pieces of this jig-saw puzzle through many permutations and combinations. When the timetable was finished, he

seemed to remember every detail and made alterations without apparent effort. But the whole task needed tremendous concentration. On occasions when the Principal was away, he, as Deputy, took over the College, and it was noticeable how quietly and smoothly everything worked while he was in charge. With parents he was courteous and businesslike. Fr. Lynch will be missed by many at St. "Stanislaus College, and many outside it. He had a good brain - clear, penetrating - with a great ability to concentrate on a problem. He had his eccentricities. He could cover a blackboard with mathematical hieroglyphics, which were almost unreadable. He could not keep anything tidy. But he was a simple and friendly man. All found him a likeable character. He was always kind and helpful. People could go to him with any sort of problem - he would listen carefully and give a clear answer. St. Stanislaus College owes Fr. Lynch a debt of gratitude for his thirtv-one years of service to its pupils.

LESLIE STANISLAUS FERNANDES died tragically in a road accident on April 30th this year, at the age of 39. The news came as a terrible shock to all of us who knew him, and especially to his wife Annabelle and his sons Charles and Rodney, students at St. Stanislaus like their father before them. Leslie left Saints in 1955 after taking his 'O' Levels and establishing his reputation as a cricketer. He helped in his father's business, M.P. Fernandes l.td., until 1962 when he went to the States and worked with Acmie Markets Inc. of Philadelphia. In 1967 he enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 1971 with a B.A. in Economics and

experience of the Computer Centre of that University. He joined International Computers Ltd. and worked in Trinidad until 1974 when he returned to Guyana with his family and transferred to I.B.M. with whom he was working at the time of his death. He made friends wherever he went. His sporting activities included golf, cricket, tennis and squash, and in 1975, he was elected Tennis Captain at the G.C.C. Leslie's cheerful disposition, friendly approach and sympathetic concern made him welcome in many circles, and the large congregation at the church of Our Lady of Fatima on the day of his funeral witnessed to his popularity. A Requiem Mass, attended by the members of the Fernandes family, was offered in Brickdam Cathedral by the priests on the College Staff, and we renew our expression of deepest sympathy to his wife and sons. May he rest in peace.

PROSPECTUS

St. Stanislaus' College is a Government School that aims at imparting both intellectual and technical skills and at forming citizens of Guyana who are imbued with a reverence of God, a love of their religion and a spirit of service to their country. It offers an education that stresses academic excellence and respect for manual labour, and is at the same time based on a philosophy of co-operation, a spirit of sharing and working together for the good of all.

The normal five years' course of studies leads to the G.C.E. (London) at Ordinary Level or to its Caribbean equivalent, when this becomes operational. There is a further two years' course for the G.C.E. Advanced Level (London).

The College has six good Science Laboratories, and there is a full course of Physics, Chemistry and Biology for every student. There is a College Library, and the College is equipped with audio-visual aids. An Art room, a Modern Languages room, a Geography room and a Home Economics centre have been set up. A joint Form 6 has been established with St. Joseph's High School and boys and girls can join either school so as to be taught the following subjects up to Advanced Level: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Economics, English Literature, French, Spanish, History, Geography and Art.
