The proceeds were for the District Nursing Association: … the Dramatis Personae in the opera were as follows … (includes) … Officers of Dragoon Guards: … (includes) H. R. Pinsent … (also) … Prize Giving Day: The annual prize-giving took place at Downside School on Saturday in the Gymnasium, in the presence of about 400 parents and friends. The Abbot of Downside presided, supported by the Bishop of Clifton, and the headmaster, the Rev. R. S. Trafford … Old boys had been successful during the past twelve months, and special mention should be made of J. T. Molony, who secured a place in Class 1 Division of the Law Tripos, and gained the George Long Prize for Jurisprudence. B. N. H. Thornley gained a second in Mechanical Science Tripos, and the John Bernard Seely prize in aeronautics. B. H. Pinsent had been elected to a Major Classical Scholarship at Trinity Hall, Cambride, and he had no hesitation also in awarding him the Gregory Medal. He was glad to say the authorities had allowed him to come down to his old school and receive the medal personally.
