Pazin, A. D. 1958/1959 or A Story about “The First Croatian Grammar Schools”
Vjekoslav Ćosić

Sažetak
Remembering his secondary school education from Zadar via Košljun to Pazin, the author reveals an exciting array of institutions and buildings that carry the epithet “the first Croatian Grammar School”. At the end of this series stands Pazin, in many ways a distinctive little town in the centre of Istria, not only for its harsh continental climate and frequent and long-lasting fog but also for its role in the cultural and educational history of this peculiar peninsula. From the first Croatian grammar school in Istria (1899-1918) through none during the Italian occupation of Istria to two Croatian grammar schools after the Second World War: one classical (bishop’s) non-accredited and one general (state) accredited school. For the classical school students to be on an equal footing with the general school, they had to (privately) take all classes of the general high school. The author of this paper also went through this process. The “Dobrila” Student Society, a successor to the former Croatian Catholic Academic Society “Dobrila”, operated in the Classical Grammar School. The Society staged all kinds of things such as lectures on the occasion of various holidays and important events. One of them was the 1958 saint’s day of Blessed Nikola Tavelić when he was being canonized, which was completed on 21 June 1970 as compensation for the suspension of the beatification of Alojzije Stepinac.
