Late Principal, W.J.Davies, M.B.E.(1936)
Come swell the chorus one and all and join the ranks
with me
Prosperity to the Prince's boys upstanding three times
three
Dear as of old and dear as now and despite any storm
Long live for many a thousand years our Prince of
Wales kingtom.
For searching Sierra Leone far and wide
No School can well be found
That sends forth truer gentlemen
Or stands on firmer ground
'Tis not alone in science lore
her manly sons excel:
The cricket and the athletic grounds their tale of
triumph tell
The Church , the state, the Camp and Bar with varied
voice attest
That
wheresoe'er bright honour calls her sons are with
the best.
As on her walls we read the
names renowned in former days
With beating hearts we vow to match their daring and
their praise
For who would care through time to drift with dull and
drowsy face
Unworthy of his faith and name, his fathers and
his race.
Though scattered far we seldom
meet the friends our boyhood knew
Old joys old griefs in memory dwell toned down to
sober hue
And when somewell-remembered name grows great, we glow
with pride
To think that in our youthful days we struggled at his
side
And when at last old age is our and manhood strength
has fled
And young ambition's fire is cold and earthly hopes lie
dead
We feel our boyhood's thrill once more and think
it is just life's morn
And keep a niche within our hearts for Prince of Wales
Kingtom.
