He Who Would Valiant Be

"He Who Would Valiant Be", also called "To Be a Pilgrim", was an Earth hymn that the students of Coal Hill Secondary School sang in the morning assembly of Thursday 28 March, 1963, to the "piano poundings" of music teacher Mrs Bellweather. Susan Foreman claimed the song had a special meaning to her. (PROSE: Time and Relative)
== Behind the scenes ==
In the post-opening titles scenes of the television story Human Nature, where John Smith entered Farringham School for Boys in 1913 and taught history, schoolchildren singing "To Be a Pilgrim" (backed by a church organ) was sung as incidental music. The same recording played over scenes of the animated scarecrows being shot down by the school's pupils as incidental music in the television story The Family of Blood.
