This is to certify that Walter W. Battiss passed Standards II and III very well in this school being generally the first boy in his class. He left us in June 1917 while in the 4th Standard and was showing the same high quality of work in the Standard IV as he had already done in Standards II and III. I was very sorry to lose such a promising pupil.
