| When I
first began teaching at the Harris, older staff warned me that my first
Prizegiving ceremony would be unforgetable. I did not believe
this until the climax of the ceremony. Love it or hate it, the
Harris Holiday song, on first hearing, creates an impact!
Certainly, the song has a special resonance in the memories of many FPs.
This feature began as a simple one page copy of an article which appeared in "The Courier" in 2001. This attracted a lively response as the merits, or otherwise, of the Holiday song were debated and former pupils provided memories from different decades. Much to my surprise (and pleasure), this interest still continues. Writing in July 2004, I can record that I have received several e-mails on the subject in the last month - one of which demanded that I publish the words of the full version. As a result, a rather expanded version of the Holiday song feature is now online. Webmaster |
