- There was a little boy names Mick Reynolds from Ballymote town who went out to have a bathe to Aún na cloiche lake at Templehouse which is situated two miles north of this school. He went in on a boat the bottom of which was not too sound. All went well until he went into the middle of the lake and then the bottom of the boat gave way.
