School Song

The lyrics of the Gulmohur High School song are:

Onwards Forever Onwards
Strengthen us when we fail
Virtue and Knowledge our motto be
O Hail Gulmohur Hail to thee

We love to sing of Gulmohur School
Our Noble Alma Matar
Amongst the rest she is the best
And none can be ever greater

The ties that bind us to our School
No one can ever sever
And we will be true to Gulmohur School
Gulmohur Gulmohur Forever

I do not know the background of the song but I believe it was the brain child of late Principal Mr. B.R. Das. At our school reunion (1986 ICSE batch) around Christmas last year (2009) I found myself singing this song along with my batch mates. It was an emotional moment as we stood in a semi circle at tube makers club in Jamshedpur singing this song and it felt like we were back in school. To an outsider the sight would have been quite comical to see a bunch of 40 year olds singing their school anthem at the top of their voices but it was a lot of fun. We met over a period of 3 days and it almost appeared that time had stood still.
