The Tradition of the Junior Senior Banquet

This is the night when we say “thank you” to all our Seniors for their time here at Carroll and for all they have done to make this college a special place.  It is also the night when the seniors pass the torch to the Juniors as they will become the oldest brothers and sisters of this Carroll family.  What is the meaning of this tradition?  What does it mean to “pass the torch”?  What is the promise made on this night?  Going back many years there has been a caring and compassionate promise made by the upperclassman. This night recognizes the fact that the Juniors and Seniors at Carroll are the big brothers and sisters in this Carroll family.  These promises make Carroll a special place:  

• I will be loving and caring to my Carroll family.
• I will respect the dignity of every individual and protect that dignity with my actions.
• I will take action to assure no one is taken advantage of, or left in a harmful situation.
• I am proud to be a Saint and I promise to care for my brothers and sisters.

Dinner Talk Points, a time to celebrate your time here at Carroll

•  Talk about the best time you had with friends
•  Funniest thing you ever saw happen

Irish Night (March 30 at 6:30 p.m.) will include Irish Dancers, Irish Singers, Irish soda bread, Irish tap water ;). A debate with three Irish champions against Talking Saint debaters. Hosted by the Talking Saints, and includes guests from Dublin, Ireland.

Irish Night at Carroll on Thursday, March 30

Irish dancers will tap, Irish tin whistles will whistle and champion Irish debaters will show off their accents as the Talking Irish face off against the Talking Saints on Carroll’s Irish Night, starting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 30, in the Lower Commons.

“We let Butte have St. Paddy’s Day to themselves, but now it’s Carroll’s turn to celebrate all things Irish,” said Brent Northup, Talking Saints debate coach.

Irish Night will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a half hour of traditional Irish dancing from the Tiernan Irish Dancers, a troupe with students from ages 3 to 18 - complete with costume changes and colorful Irish attire.

Next up will be Gabe, Maggie plus more branches from the sprawling Brennan family tree! Gabe says the family will “offer up a few tunes” some Irish, some country. Come and enjoy guitars, banjos, tin whistles, mandolins and harmonicas.

The evening will conclude with the debate, starting around 7:30 p.m., featuring Ailbhe (Alva), Gavin and Oliver against three Talking Saint seniors: Roisin, Vinny and Hellie. Roisin and Vinny have Irish roots. Hellie, who spent last year in France, speaks Missoulian.

The debate will decide, once and for all, whether Irish sports are better than American sports…Gaelic football versus the NFL, hurling versus baseball.

Lively, fun, perhaps heated. Tripping will result in a trip to the penalty box.

The Irish debaters, two law students from Dublin and an aspiring engineer from Cork, won the Irish Times national championship on Feb. 17 in Dublin. Their prize includes a tour of American colleges from Tennessee to Colorado to Montana.

Helena is their last stop before returning home on Sunday, April 2.

“Montana has a proud Irish tradition, and Carroll has a long legacy of Irish alums,” said Northup. “All our campus food at Sodexo – every bite - is baked in Irish sounds supplied by the cheerful voice of Clare O’Malley, catering manager.”

The community – from Last Chance Gulch to Anaconda - is invited to attend Irish Night, a free event, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 30 in the Lower Cube. A night full of happy Hibernians.

Oh, yes, and there will be Irish Soda bread afterwards. But no Guinness – on campus.

For information, call Brent: (406) 459-2371.
