MEDALS

The measure creating Official
awards Of hero medals to members
Of the local fire and police depart
ments conspicuous for gallantry and

ably by the Senate District Com
mittee.
Action was taLen by the commit
tee after it had reviewed the good re.
suits in fire and police morale that
have followed The Washington
Times presentation Of these awards
for the past several years.
It was determined that the medals
should be placed upon an official
basis, with the support of the Dis
trict government behind them, so
as to make the recognition Of the
heroes Of the fire and police force
as complete as that given to the
heroes of the Army and Navy, who
are given numerous types Of
awards for gallantry in action.
Scores of influential local citizens
and the District Commissioners ap-
proved the bill. which provides not
only for an annual presentation u
medals to firemen and policemen
who have demonstrated their cour'
age, but also provides for increases
in salary for those who are thus
honored

June, Miss Morrow's Ivy song was
sung by the entire graduating class.
The words were as follows:
Ivy we plant remembering thee
All beauties here we prize;
Purple of hill and bare of bough
Against December skies:
Hour of trailing willow lace
Reverently we name,
And white April burning out
In chestnut candle flame.
Patterned on a twilight slope.
Shadows on the grass,
And after dark along the walks
Laughter and steps that pass.
Not ours alone we leave to you,
Shadows and hills and trees.
We plant the Ivy here today,
And 20 remembering these.
