[edit] 'School Song'
50 ago, as a new boy, I had to learn 3 'school songs'. 'Winder' (described in the article), was one; 'The Long run', mentioned in the article, was another; the third was called either 'Floreat Sedberghia' or 'Floruit, floreat' (my memory can't be sure), which was sung at the end of the school year. (The Latin title (~ 'May Sedbergh flourish') and a refrain which changed subtly from 'Floruit Sedberghia' (~ 'Sedbergh flourished') as the song told the history of the school to 'Floreat Sedberghia' at the end were the only Latin words in the song. All, or virtually all, boys learnt some Latin in those days, so the change of refrain could be signalled by
- Now ye who have this understood
-
- floruit sedberghia
-
- Will please to change the tense and mood
-
- floreat sedberghia

I don't want to introduce outdated material into th e article, and I cannot tell the current state of affairs in the school. One logical error should be corrected: it says a propos of the Wilson Run that the song at the W. R. Concert is "The Long Run" (as it used to be, and as logic suggests it should); a propos 'School Song', i says "Winder" is sung there. This shuld be sorted by a current inmate.
