The Kwabotwe Anthem - Dwin Hwe Kan - was composed specially
to commemorate the School Motto. It can best be described when
you hear the whole school singing it. The parts are just
great!!! In Adu Boahen's book, Mfantsipim and the Making of
Ghana, page 175, it is stated that the words of Dwin Hwe Kan
composed by Graves and Gaddiel Acquaah (the latter then a
teacher of Mfantsipim) and adopted sometime in 1908-1910 as
the School Anthem were recited by Reverend Wilson as
follows:
O think and look ahead dear boys Shout out our motto grand
and free Assist us, Tano, with thy voice, Re-echo Volta of the
East Now Raise three happy cheers for Mfantsipim School
Hurray, Hurray, Hurray.
The Song is now sung only in the Fanti original version.
Unless the lyrics changed at some point in time, the present
version does not talk about Volta of the East nor of Tano.
There is also no mention of the name Mfantsipim anywhere in
the present rendition. However, the spirit and the message
behind the song is a clarion call on all to put hands on deck
to continue the great work of our forebears......
