School Song – “Come Swell the Chorus…”
                        Introduced by the Late Principal, W.J.Davies, M.B.E.(1936)




   1         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.

  Chorus           For searching Sierra Leone far and wide
                       No school can well be found
                       That sends forth truer gentlemen,
                       Or stands on firmer ground.

  2         Tis not alone in Science lore her manly sons excel
             The cricket and the athletics ground 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.

  3         As on her walls we read the names renowed 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
 
  4        Though scattered far we seldom meet the friends our boyhood knew
            Old joys, old griefs in memory dwell, toned down to sober hue,
            And as some well remembered name grows great, we glow with pride
            To think that in our youthful days we struggled at his side.
 
  5         And when at last old age is ours 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’s just life’s morn
            And keep a niche within our hearts for Prince of Wales, Kingtom.
