School (鍾靈中學校歌) was originally written by Wang Qiyu (1880–1939), a teacher of the school. The melody of the tune is set to Annie Lisle, which was adopted as the standard melody for over 200 school anthems, most notably Cornell University, Soochow University and Hwa Chong Institution. Current version Translation The present lyrics were modified twice: the first in 1962 when the 3rd and 7th lines of the lyrics (where it exemplified the Three Principles of the People) were replaced with alternate transcriptions, and the latter in 2000 when the 2nd line of the lyrics were changed to fit the then newly arrived 21st century. Ten Commandments of Chung Ling The campus The school has 86 classrooms, 14 Science Laboratories (of which four are dedicated to Biology, five to Physics and five to Chemistry), five Workshops for Living Skills, one Field, three Basketball Courts, four Indoor Badminton Courts and five Computer Laboratories. Huai Ze Hall (怀泽堂) The hall was named in memory of Chung Ling students and teachers who died for the school in the Second World War. To the front of the hall lies the clock tower which also houses the staff and administration of the school. The hall was designed in the early 1940s to have 14 entrances, which were spaced out evenly across the side of the hall. Many of these 14 were never used, and in the subsequent renovation in the Year 2004, six were sealed off, and there only remain eight. Glass windows were fixed, along with curtains to replace the grills and bamboo blinds. Blocks A and B There have been two sets of Blocks A and B. The first pair were single-storey buildings flanking the clock tower, and at the end of each, there were two two-storey science labs. In the 1960s, they were demolished, and new buildings were built in their place. The latter set of Blocks A and B were these, two three-storey buildings, each with 5 classes to a level. The old science labs were renovated to fit into both blocks. Today, Blocks A and B consist of 25 classrooms, two discipline rooms, a knowledge centre, the gerko room and the Vice Principals' Room. Blocks D and E These two blocks flank both sides of the hall and are two-storey buildings with four classrooms per level. The classrooms found here are the oldest ones in the school still in use.
