The School Song was written by NORAH HEARNE, a standard VIII girl in 1925. She won the competition for the same. Rosalind Ballantine was also a keen competitor but missed the prize because the wording of her song did not have the same rhythm as the music composed by the three Music Mistresses, Miss Sherman, Miss George, and Miss Penbertin.

Stanza 1

Dow Hill to thee we hymn our praise
School of our happy childhood days
In splendor grand, you’ll ever stand
And year by year become more dear
And give out knowledge, strength and power
That even in the far off dying hour
We’ll always remember and bless and praise
The school of our happy childhood days.

Chorus

Ring out the strain both far and wide
Make it resound -on every side
The echoes long on the ear prolong
Of this our song at Kurseong.

Stanza 2

Guarded by sentinels silent and lone
Spectators of the days long gone
These snowcapped hills and sparkling rills
This wooded steep where shadows creep
Mixed with the humming of the bees
It echoes on the morning breeze
And sways the pine trees gently over us
To join in the happy Dow Hill chorus…

Chorus

Ring out the strain both far and wide
Make it resound -on every side
The echoes long on the ear prolong
Of this our song at Kurseong.

Stanza 3

Hail to the school we love so well
Hail to the peals of the age-worn bell
These noble walls and storeyed halls
Were fond memory clings whose echoes bring
Back to the mind the good days of yore
Our joys and sorrows and friends a score
And so we hail thee forever and say
Here’s to Dow Hill may thy name live always.

Chorus

Ring out the strain both far and wide
Make it resound -on every side
The echoes long on the ear prolong
Of this our song at Kurseong.
