The F. C. Buss trophy is given to the best all-round boy, and the Creston P.-T.A. trophy is given to a girl. Scholarship cups are presented to the students who have the highest scholastic records for the current year in both the junior and senior high school. For the four years a valedictory medal is awarded. The Sons and Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution award medals to a student in 8-2 grade for patriotism and leadership and to a senior girl for patriotism and citizenship. Both boys and girls are eligible for the American Legion medal given for good scholarship and an outstanding character.
