Oldboys Weekend
Cars
Familiar faces
All along Hogsback where the run was long and hard
By the Memorial Chapel, Arthur Bishop House and Lower School yard.
Sitting together
Shaking hands, laughs and good times
Most sit and think
Few sit and drink.
1st Eleven, crew and rifle team
Marching, cadet ball and the uniform thing.
Like the measured pulse of racing oars
Your name being shouted for roll call
Sharma, Martin, Tichy, Flowers, Grummar… you know who you are
Shouts from the teachers, coaches and housemasters
Driving the legs through the footstops
When going for Gold meant rowing in a boat named Endurement.
