Then followed the awarding of the medals

| A surprise In the way of drill by sixteen
| girls from tile grammar school brought the
| exercises TO most successful conclusion
| To the music of the school band the corps
marched into the hall with very martial
| step, under the command of Miss Mollie
! Waters. They were uniformed in an effec-
| tive style in black and yellow tunlcs with
! mOrtar-b0ard caps, while for weapons of
| otfense and defense they carried long spears
! with golden points. The drill was remark
| ably good one, the corps performing every
| movement that even the most crack theat-
| ricai drill cohorts can show. They were
| loudly applauded and recalled. Wlth such
capable military resources for the country
| to TALL back on there need never be any fear
| that San Francisco can be captured by any
| foreign power, however well armed and
| numerous. The drill was entirely arranged
| by the girls themselves They made all
their own uniforms, and kept the whole af-
| fair, profound secret from the school
| teachers.
The drill closed the exercises and Mrs.
| Craven then dismissed the visitors with
thanks for their attendance.
