Re: Archery
It came to me last night, that our school was built on a Butt's, which was a name for an old archery range from ancient times. [Butt being a word that means project forward.]
The school badge was a shield with 3 targets and arrows speeding towards them.
Our school song was:----
"When the bugle has blown and the arrow has flown
To the sound of the singing strings, where our forefathers drew
On the bow stave of yew To thee, oh our school do we sing
Our hearts shall be the drawing arm that plucks the shaft to head
The stave shall be the purpose calm that makes the shaft well sped
The strings shall be the happiness that in our hearts shall rule
The aim shall be the honour, yes, the honour of our school."
