Commendation for excellence given to Frances by the King and Queen of Yugoslavia

In 1933, upon completion of her first year of secondary school (equivalent to seventh grade), Frances received a commendation (from “the King and Queen” as she proudly told everyone.)

King Alexander, Queen Maria and Crown Prince Peter are on the document, to be sure. The inscription below reads:

COMMENDATION
Frana Kriletić, daughter of Nikola
student in secondary school
for excellent conduct and outstanding achievement.
in Lumbarda, 28th of June, 1933

Frances talks about her experiences in school in this audio clip, recorded in 1994. The honor certificate story begins at 1:45
