MHUINTIR CHOLÁISTE EOIN
A MHUINTIR CHOLÁISTE EOIN IDIR DHALTAÍ AGUS MHÚINTEOIRÍ - In ainm
Dé agus in ainm na n-iarscoláirí is na n-iarmhúinteoirí a
chuaigh romhainn agus óna bhfuair sé a sheanoideas mar Choláiste, tá Coláiste
Eoin, trínne, ag gairm a dhaltaí faoina bhratach agus ag bualadh buille ar son
na Gaeilge. Tar éis dó eagar agus oiliúint a chur ar a chuid fear trí mheán a
eagraíochta réabhlóidí scoile, An Cumann Gaelach, tar éis dó glacadh leis an
aicíd den dream beag scroblach de Bhéarlóirí le tamall rófhada,
tar éis dó fanacht go seasmhach le teacht an lae chirt, beireann sé anois ar an
bhfaill agus, le cabhair a chomhghuaillithe calma sa bhFoireann Teagaisc, ach ag
brath sa chéad áit ar a neart féin, buaileann sé, agus lán-dóchas aige go
mbainfidh sé an bua.
Dearbhaímid gur ceart ceannasach dochloíte é ceart dhaltaí
an Choláiste chun seilbh an Choláiste agus chun an ruaig a chur ar na
gallghaeil nach dtagann le fís an Choláiste. Níor chealaigh an lucht damanta
seo an fhís sin de Choláiste ina gcleachtaítear an cultúr Gaelach go bródúil is
go huaibhreach riamh, ná ní féidir í a chealú go deo.
Ag seasamh
dúinn ar an gceart bunúsach sin, agus á dhearbhú arís os comhair an tsaoil,
fógraímid leis seo Coláiste Eoin ina Ghaelcholáiste nach nglacann le Béarla ná
leis na gallghaeil - na naimhde atá inár measc, naimhde a roghnaíonn teanga
iasachta Shasana thar cheol binn ár dteanga dhúchais. Cuirimid ár n-anam
féin agus anam ár gcomrádaithe cneasta chun troda agus comhraic ar son na Gaeilge
agus ar son dhaltaí uile uasal an Choláiste.
Tá ceart ag
Coláiste Eoin ar dhílseacht a dhaltaí agus éilíonn sé an dílseacht sin. In uair
seo na cinniúna ní foláir do Mhuintir an Choláiste, trína misneach is a
ndea-shampla, trína mbród is a n-uaisleacht, iad féin a íobairt ar son an Choláiste,
agus gan géilleadh do, nó glacadh leis, na naimhde seo atá inár measc go dtuilleann
sé an réim ró-uasal atá i ndán dó.
