Today’s takes, as its theme, the fact that National Best Friends Day is celebrated on June 8th. National Best Friends Day was established in 1935 by the U.S. Congress to celebrate close friendships, and these friendships are most likely to have been generated at school.
organises regular reunions of class-mates, and the teachers who taught them. This Saturday, 6th June, we’re looking forward to welcoming back over 200 Old Warwickians for their anniversary reunions - a great opportunity for friendships old and new.
The attached image is of friends from 1971.

Today’s item features an advertisement for the school, published in 1880. It’s a very important document, containing a great deal of information not available elsewhere. But there are some details, and, indeed, errors in it, which my readership might like to tackle. A certain book, – a History, might be helpful…
1. What did Rev W. F. MacMichael transport in 1879? From where?
2. Where was the Middle School? What happened to it?
3. What effect might the much higher fees charged at the new Grammar School over the Middle School have had on numbers?
4. Why didn’t Miss Fisher have a degree?
5. What’s wrong with the date of 1546 so proudly displayed?
6. Governor G. H. Nelson – why did his company produce terrible smells in Warwick?
7. Governor Archdeacon James Baly was taught at the school from 1832 to 1838, learning just Latin and Greek. Who was the headmaster at the time, and how long did he serve?

Today’s celebrates the third anniversary of the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on 6th May 2023, and also what appears to be a hugely successful state visit to the USA. We fondly remember the visit of the Prince of Wales (as he then was) to in 2014. Pictured below is the Prince of Wales signing the same autograph book that his grandmother used. The school has never, in its long history, had a visit from a reigning monarch, so the visits from the Queen Mother in 1958 and Prince Charles in 2014 are the closest that we have got. We should not forget that HRH Princess Anne has visited the school twice, too.
