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:
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Who is at my window, who, who?
It’s the blind cuckoo, mulling
the old song over.
The old song is about fear, about
tomorrow and next year.
Timor mortis conturbat me, he sings....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
