Commemoration Day at Denstone College: Wednesday was Commemoration Day at Denstone College, when there was a large gathering of parents and friends of the boys.

Two more scholarships were gained at the Universities by Denstonians in residence there; nine had taken their degrees in honours and one had gained the gold medal at Dublin. The prizes were distributed by Lady Heywood, to whom a vote of thanks was afterwards accorded on the motion of the Archdeacon of Stoke — The school choir having sung the school song “Carmen Denstonenes” the company adjourned for luncheon to the dining hall; the President presided: …
