Kenon Taylor has been for a number of years keenly interested in the military activities of the Memphis high school boys.  Each year he gives a medal to the best drilled and soldierly appearing cadet of each of the high schools.  This medal this year at Crockett Tech was won by cadet Lieutenant Donald Bailey, who also won the Rotary medal given for the best drilled cadet in the Memphis R.O.T.C.
Kenon Taylor is a veteran of the Spanish-American War and saw service in several of our insular possissions.  During his career as a soldier he engaged in seventy-five battles, campaigns and skirmishes and known thoroughly the business of soldiering.  He himself, while a soldier, won a gold medal for excellency of drill.
The High Schools of Memphis, wish Kenon Taylor to know that they highly appreciate the interest which he has manifested in the work of the Junior R.O.T.C.  they feel that his prizes have been the means of arousing much added interest in the work.
