School Hymn
The Park School Hymn, written in 1930, is traditionally sung at school gatherings and events. The lyrics are as follows: "Park School, we sing to thee, songs thou hast taught our eager youth. Hearts filled with love and loyalty, we give to follow in thy truth. We have striven at thy side, searched for heights at thy behest; there were no winds we did not ride, in seeking life in gallant quest. Park School, oh hear our song, born of joy and knowledge free. Fulfillment that we sought for so long, we ever attain-ed here in thee."

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or hymn:
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“The starting point of the human and the end,
That in which space itself is contained, the gate
To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
By day, night and that which night illumines,
Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
Night’s hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
