Ah yes, those school assemblies, with "There Is A Green Hill Far Away", "Hills Of The North Rejoice", "To Be A Pilgrim", etc. Did you have a school song, Michel? Ours was "Forty Years On" - always sung on the last day of the summer term in the school hall, organ blaring away and light glowing through the stained glass windows. I saw the original West End production of Alan Bennett's "Forty Years On", with Bennett and Gielgud in the cast - wonderfully funny - and it transported me back to those school days.
