Though we live in dull surroundings
Midst the busy haunts of men ....
...Factories and Mines about us, clustered in the Vale of Spen.
Yet a School we can be proud of rears its head the smoke among,
Wielding influence strong and gracious,
Great as those with history long
Heckmondwike the school we honour
Keep its name for ever bright.
Winning,
loosing, neither matter if the game be played a right.
Chase the flying ball with vigour,
Put your best into the game.
If the luck seems dead against you
Try your hardest all the same.
Grudge no praise to good opponents,
Never lack in generous thought,
Bear your school in mind at all times,
And the lessons that she has taught.
Heckmondwike the school we honour
Keep its name for ever bright.
Winning, loosing, neither matter if the game be played a right
