There were twelve more questions for us in 'Jamys Jeheiney', and James Harrison forcing us to dredge out bits hidden deep in our brains again. Phil Gawne is making use of First Lessons in Manx by Edmund Goodwin (re-arranged by Robert Thomson) in 'Goll as Gaccan', but to be truthful, we've hardly started yet. There's a translation of a story by an American, Samuel Barnhart, in 'Claare ny Gael', and his imagining of a supply teacher going in front of a class for the first time. This story is called Every Day is a War. In 'Traa dy Liooar' there's a play by the students of the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, made for Radio Vunscoill, and also page 10 of Pargys Caillt, the paraphrase by Rev Thomas Christian of Paradise Lost, read from Vol XX of the Manx Society by John Gell.
