Clare Carter
 

Text that inspired John Howard Whitehouse to select 'Today' as the school motto, set to music by John Traill as a wedding present. 

 'TODAY WELL LIVED'
 
Look well to this day
For yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is only a vision
But TODAY WELL LIVED
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope
Look well, therefore, to this day
(Ancient Sanskrit poem)
