Paddy Crosbie (1 October 1913 – 2 September 1982) was the Irish creator of the radio and television programmes ''The School Around The Corner'' and ''Back To School''.〔Sunday Independent, 5 September 1982〕 ==Youth== Crosbie was born in Dublin, Ireland on 1 October 1913 at 12A Bridewell Lane, which was one of the houses converted from the old Smithfield Bridewell shortly before the First World War.〔The Irish Catholic, Thursday, 12 February 1981〕 His parents were Martin Crosbie and Lily Corcoran.〔http://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/dacf996563741〕〔http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000064195/〕〔http://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/da88140022924〕 He attended infant school in Stanhope Street and on 23 August 1920 he entered St. Paul's Christian Brothers' School, North Brunswick Street, known to Dubliners as "Brunner". He would eventually spend 57 years in this school as pupil and teacher.〔Eve Press 1982〕 Crosbie subsequently studied at St. Patrick's Training College, Drumcondra and University College, Dublin. Crosbie was only four weeks in Brunner when the sound of shots put a stop to lessons for a short time. It was the day when a youth name Kevin Barry had been captured by the British after an ambush. Two soldiers were killed. Five weeks later on 1 November, he stood outside Mountjoy Jail with his mother and his older brother Martin Crosbie, awaiting the notice of his execution.〔St.Paul's CBS Year Book 1978〕 He was a keen sportsman in his youth, and won a special medal when defeating Austin Clarke, the all-Ireland singles handball champion. He played steady hurling for the Dublin club Eoghan ruadh, and created a Dublin Tennis League record by never losing a singles set between 1938 and 1950.〔Evening Press〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paddy Crosbie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
