In making the first award of the Wally Creeden Memorial Scholar- ship to Robert Butcher, the boy re- ceiving the highest aggregate on the Departmental Examinations, Mrs. Creeden said she was presenting the Scholarship not only in memory of her son but also in memory of all the other boys from Paris High School who had given their lives in this war.

After Austin's address Grace Nuttall, the school pianist, led the assembly in community sing- ing of several patriotic numbers.
