SCHOOL
SONG
At study or recreation In
classroom or playing field; Let those of each generation
respect to tradition yield, The feats of fathers and
brothers Are beacons marking the way; The torch handed on by
others; We must keep alight today.
Chorus
The prize to the one who earns
it, Let this be our golden rule, Endeavour enhances merit,
The slacker is Folly’s tool.
The also-ran and the champion,
Each one can but do his best; The winner’s display depends
on The efforts of all the rest. To be in the van is not all,
For each has to play his role; The team wins the match at
football; Though one man must kick the goal. In term time or
in vacation Uphold Alma Mater’s name, Whate’er the place or
occasion, Remember to play the game, To win and be sporting
is easy, To lose with a smile is hard. And yet, to the
sportsman, really The game is its own reward. And when
boyhood days are over, Our motto must still remain; For only
by earnest endeavour ; The highest we shall attain, A truly
Great West Indies; Be this our constant aim; Surmounting
insular boundaries; A people in more than name. |
