Class 5 & 6 - Volleyball tournament
Our girls' team participated
in the school volleyball tournament of Western Thessaloniki that took place in the end of April. Although they didn't win any of the first places, they received flattering comments from the
organisers, the coaches and the referees about their fair and technically correct way of playing.
A big thanks to the girls and their coach from all of us!
The Dubliners - Salonika
Irish Folk Song of World War I. The
Greek port of Salonika (Thessaloniki) came to prominence in 1915 when it
was used to mount and supply the Gallipoli expeditionary force. The
song probably originated in Cork, Ireland, but became known in the
British Army (many of whose members were in any case Irish, especially
during the First World War). The verse mentioning Sinn Fein was no doubt
a later addition. Salonika, in common with other World War I landmarks,
would have been well-known in the poorer parts of Cork City at the
time, as many of the men were forced for economic reasons to enlist.
This is an anti-recruiting song and the terms 'soldiers' and 'slackers'
are used for those who enlisted and those who stayed at home. While the
soldiers were away their wives received what was known as separation
pay. These women were known as 'Separas' and were very much despised by
the other women. Most of the verses of this song were collected from
Mrs. Ronayne, grandmother of Mick Murphy of Stoker's Lodge. (Notes Jimmy
Crowley, 'The Boys of Fair Hill').
= LYRICS =
Oh me husband's in Salonika
And I wonder if he's dead
And I wonder if he knows he has a kid
With a foxy head
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
When the war is over
What will the slackers do?
They'll be all around the soldiers
For to loan 'em a bob or two . . .
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
And when the war is over
What will the soldier's do?
They'll be walking around with a leg and a half
And the slackers
They'll have two
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
They tax'd a pound of butter
And they tax'd the ha'penny bun.
And still with all their taxin'
They can't bate the bloody hun!
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
They tax'd the colloseum
And they tax'd St. Mary's Hall!
Why don't they tax the bobbies,
With their backs against the wall?
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
When the war is over
What will the slackers do?
For every kid in America
In Cork there will be two!
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
They takes us out to blarney
And they lays us on the grass . . .
They puts us in the family way
Then they leaves us on our arse!
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
There's no lino in the parlour
And in the kitchen too.
And a lovely glass-backed chiffonier
That we got from Dickie Drew
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
Oh never marry a soldier
A sailor, or a marine
And keep your eye on that Sinn Fein boy
With his yellow, white, and green!
So right away, so right away
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy
So right away Salonika
Right away, me soldier boy!

The painting of a student in Litochoro, a town in Greece, has been featured on the search engine’s central page for May 14. Asterios Reynik, a young pupil from the second elementary school in Litochoro, was the winner of Doodle 4 Google competition that took place in Greece and was open for all students from 6 to 18 years old in Greece.
The competition’s purpose was to encourage the students to use their creativity in order to design Google’s logo. The subject of the 2013 competition was My Greece and doodle reflects what young pupils think of Greece.
At the same time, Google strongly promotes Greek tourism by combining the beginning of summer with Greece, projecting the sun and the sea.
The title of young Asterios’ drawing is 'My Greece, Sun and Sea'. The basic features of the winning doodle also includes the Greek flag. Through his children’s eyes, Asterios added a small boat on the sea and two seagulls on the sky. This is Greece for him – and many around the world, especially with tourism season getting into full swing and hopes of better times for Greece.
The voting was held from April 15 to May 7. The ceremony of the final winner’s announcement took place on May 13. The winner will be enjoying for 24 hours the number one position at the first page of the largest search engine, on May 14.
