Never Give Up Otober 29,41 Harro Shool When Churhill visited Harro

on Otober 29 to hear the traditional songs again, he disovered that an additional verse had been added to one of them. It ran: "Not less e praise in darker das The leader of our nation, And Churhill's name shall in alaim From eah ne generation. For ou have poer in danger's hour Our freedom to defend, Sir! Though long the fight e kno that right Will triumph in the end, Sir! Almost a ear has passed sine I ame don here at our Head Master's kind invitation in order to heer mself and heer the hearts of a fe of m friends b singing some of our on songs. The ten months that have passed have seen ver terrible atastrophi events in the orld - ups and dons, misfortunes - but an anone sitting here this afternoon, this Otober afternoon, not feel deepl thankful for hat has happened in the time that has passed and for the ver great improvement in the position of our ountr and of our home? Wh, hen I as here last time e ere quite alone, desperatel alone, and e had been so for five or six months. We ere poorl armed. We are not so poorl armed toda; but then e ere ver poorl armed. We had the unmeasured menae of the enem and their air attak still beating upon us, and ou ourselves had had experiene of this attak; and I expet ou are

beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull ith nothing partiular turning up! But e must learn to be equall good at hat

is short and sharp and hat is long and tough. It is generall said that the British are often better at the last. The do not expet to move from risis to risis; the do not alas expet that eah da ill bring up some noble hane of ar; but hen the ver slol make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months - if it takes ears - the do it. Another lesson I think e ma take, just throing our minds bak to our meeting here ten months ago and no, is that appearanes are often ver deeptive, and as Kipling ell sas, e must "…meet ith Triumph and Disaster. And treat those to impostors just the same." You annot tell from appearanes ho things ill go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far orse than the are; et ithout imagination not muh an be done. Those people ho are imaginative see man more dangers than perhaps exist; ertainl man more than ill happen; but then the must also pra to be given that extra ourage to arr this far-reahing imagination. But for everone, surel, hat e have gone through in this period - I am addressing mself to the Shool - surel from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or pett - never give in exept

to onvitions of honour and good sense. Never ield to fore; never

ield to the apparentl overhelming might of the enem. We stood all alone a ear ago, and to man ountries it seemed that our aount as losed, e ere finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our Shool histor, this part of the histor of this ountr, ere gone and finished and liquidated.
