A MEDAL TO I MARY DEE MAC TAGGART, SINCE IULY, 1937, MARY DEE, OUR CLASSMATE, HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE SCOURGE OP INFANTILE PARALYSIS. MOST OF HER TIME HAS BEEN SPENT IN AN IRON LUNG. DURING THIS ORDEAL SHE HAS GAINED FOR I-IERSELF LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF AD- MIRERS. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HIMSELF WROTE HER A LETTER, AND A RADIO PROGRAM WAS DEDICATED TO HER BRAVERY. THE CLASS OF IUNE, 1938, PINS ON MARY DEE A BIG DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL. IN THE PAST WE KNEW HER AFFECTIONATELY AS LITTLE ONE. BUT BE- CAUSE OF HER PLUCK, WE SALUTE HER NOW AS THE FIRST LADY OF SCHURZ. I9I
