Inside King's-Edgehill School
Happy Holidays! from your blogging team. We pulled together our own version of a favourite Christmas carol, with apologies to John Mason Neale who wrote the original version in 1853; and with apologies to Headmaster Joe Seagram whom we truly appreciate, but still make the subject of a little holiday teasing. Enjoy!
Good Joe Seagram did look out 
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel,
When a student came in sight
Racing past the school.
Hither, child, and stand by me.
If though knowst it, telling:
Yonder student, who is she?
Her snowgear is compelling.
Sir, she runs to catch the bus,
To the Martock trail, yon.
There she’ll don her skis and gloves
For biathlon.
Let’s get skis and let’s get boards,
Bring those passes hither.
Thou and I will hit the slopes
When we follow thither.
Headmaster and child went forth.
Forth they went together.
While the wind blew from the north
Dressed they were for weather.
Sir, the air is colder now
And the wind blows stronger.
My folks are coming soon to KES
I can ski no longer.
One more run, headmaster said
Then we will return.
How to carve Canadian snow:
the lesson must be learned.
In headmaster’s track he trailed
Carols he was humming
Through the fresh night air he sailed
A sense of peace o’ercoming
Therefore students of our school
Wealth or rank possessing
Always fit a last run in
Powder is a blessing.
Happy Holidays! from your blogging team. We'lll be back in early 2018!
