Life is short and the world is wide

We’re just a ripple on life’s great pool

Enjoy your life to the best you can

All will help to enrich the span

But never forget you’re a gentleman

And the time will come when we all with price


Will think of your days at school……





For what matters in life is not whether we receive a round of applause; what matters is whether we have the courage to venture forth despite the uncertainty of acclaim?
