The School Song
The Cotton's school song was penned by Rev. Herbert Pakenham-Walsh, of the Brotherhood of St. Peter. The words were set to music by N.M. Saunders, Esq. With its refrain "On, Straight, On", it follows the spirit of the School Motto, "Nec Dextrorsum, Nec Sinistrorsum", Latin for "Neither to the Right Nor to the Left".

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or song:
“Dad, if you really want to know what happened in school, then you’ve got to know exactly who’s in the class, who rides the bus, what project they’re working on in science, and how your child felt that morning.... Without these facts at your fingertips, all you can really think to say is “So how was school today?” And you’ve got to be prepared for the inevitable answer—”Fine.” Which will probably leave you wishing that you’d never asked.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.”
—Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 2:5.
