Summary
  • This beautifully leather-bound certificate was presented to Mrs. Nellie Mobsby in 1950 in appreciation for the generous gift of an annual medal for the student who achieved the highest percentage in the year 8 scholarship public examination. It appears to have begun in 1916 and lists each year's recipient. (except for 1917) Henry and Nellie gave this prize in memory of their son Arthur who was attending the school at the time of his death in 1905. It reads &​quot; Dear Mrs. Mobsby, On behalf of the Committee, Teachers and Scholars of the Indooroopilly State School, we desire to express their appreciation of the generous impulse that prompted you to donate, annually, a commenorative medal for presentation to the scholar of this school who obtains the highest marks in the State Scholarship examination. The medal, affectionately called the Mobsby Medal is much courted, is an incentive to greater effort and creates a friendly rivalry among the candidates.
