There were three clues for this post. The first was a Home Institute Night School Certificate of Merit for Arithmetic dated 06 June 1904 awarded to W. T. Booksh. He would have been 18 years old.

The second clue was a newspaper clipping headlined MEDALS AND AWARDS:
 |
Wilton Booksh's name is on line 4 of the Arithmatic paragraph. |
The third clue was a collection of undated pages with what appears to be arithmatic homework.
By searching on the Genealogy Bank website I was able to find the whole newspaper article "Sophie Wright's Free Night School Holds Its Annual Commencement at Greenwall Theatre" on page 12 of the June 2, 1905 Times-Picayune paper. It was a very long article. The MEDALS AND AWARDS portion that Belle Tisdale clipped was about three-aquarters of the way through it.
