The program commenced by calling the members of both teams to the stand while the student body sang Well Fight For the Cause of Dixie. Newel Frei, students body president and member of the College team, acting as chairman, first called Mr. Paxman to give a report of the game played at Cedar City, Saturday night. Mr. Paxman paid high compliments to the playing of Hussey Ward of the B. tA. C. team, and to Newel Frei and Arnold McArthur of the Dixie team. He also commented on the support of the Dixie students that were present and the, difficulties under which Dixie played because of the small gym. He closed with the optimistic interpretation of defeating the B. A. C. on our own floor. Mr. Pickett was next called upon, and reported the game as he saw it. Mr. Pickett exonerated the referee and urged the students for better support of the yell squad. The Chairman next called on Mr. Smith who reported points that the others had missed. Following this the members of both teams were asked to report in the following order: Ash, Reed, Jim, Glen, Loraine, Melvin, Elwood, and Gordon. These players gave short but witty reports. At this ' point Coach Whitehead arrived and gave a full report. An enthusiastic group in the audience called for a speech from Ferrol McQuarrie and one from Minnie Hafen who were the outstanding lady rooters for the Dixie team at Cedar. Ferrol responded with an ardent explanation of the cheering situation at Cedar. Minnie followed with a rapid report of a similar nature. shed player, and the fans got At the close of the meeting a their moneys worth just watchi- vote was taken on Mr. Picketts ng him play.

Not merely in sciences, inventions, motors, and skyscrapers, but also in ideals, principles, and character in Not merely in the calm assertion of right, but the glad assumption of duties. Not flaunting; her strength as a gaint, but bending in helpfulness over a sick and wounded world, like a Good Samaritan. Notin splendid isolation, but cooperation. Not in pride, arrogance, and disdain of other races and peoples, but in sympathy, love, and un( derstanding. Not in treading again the old, worn, bloody pathway which ends inevitably in chaos and disaster, but in blazing a new trail, along which, please God, other nations will follow, into the new Jerusalem where wars shall be no more. Some day some nation must take that path unless we are to lapse once again into utter barbarism and that honor I covet for my beloved America. , And so, in that spirit and with these hopes, I say with all my heart and soul, America First. Bishop G. Ashton, Oldham . $ V ! & SUPT. BENNION HERE DO YOU KNOW OF OUR LEADERSHIP WEEK SCHOLARSHIPS? The inspiring message given to the students of the Dixie and to the townspeople by Supt. Bennion during his stay here will undoubtedly act as an incentive for us to do bigger and better 'things in bigger and better ways. He succeeded admirably in dusting the cobwebs from the hybernating ideals of the students. As a result, the bright rays of the sun are able to penetrate the innermost recesses of their darkness. This action has had the stimulating effect of causing them to realize that a summer has arrived and it is time to materialize the ideal by perservering application of their energies. Supt. Bennion has brought every student to a fuller appreciation, and understanding of the value of religious instruction. He expressed the opinion that seriptorial reading would become more a matter of pleasure if it was given the right interpretation and if a right proceed-ur- e of careful and thoughtful study was employed. He gave to the students a wonderful message, somewhat similar in text to the rule found in Washingtons copy book, Labour to keep alive in your heart that little spark of celestial fire Conscience. The story is told of the man w.d decided to perpetuate his name. He wrote his name on the sand of the shore thinking people who came to the beach would see it. The incoming tide soon washed it away. He then cut his name in the bark of a large tree by the roadside. Many people saw it but it was soon destroyed by a forest fire. He then thought to overcome the forces of nature and accordingly chiselled his name on a grantie cliff.

SCHOOL PLAY RE D The school play, Mary the Third, was read Monday after-- , noon to a large and interested of students. The trvouts be held next Thursdav after- noon will undoubtedly be most Competition will be The recreation program during Leadership week was most ably conducted by Mr. W. 0. Robinson, Church recreation leader. The lectures and demonstrations were valuable, not only to ward and stake workers in this field, but to parents and students as well. Mr. Robinson said that the desire to play in one of the funda-sir- e to play is one of the fundamental urges jn life and is common to all ages. In connection with this, he gave the most appealing forms of amusement for children, youths and adults. People interested in the drama received some valuable information on the types of plays to use, the casting of characters, and methods of coaching. The select group of dancers who met at 1 :50 each day learned some variations of the waltz and some interpretations of the Charleston Fox Trot for ball room use. Some excellent social mixers were also taught at this period. Perhaps the most enjoyable periods of the entire day were the social hours at 3:30 and 4:30. The mixers were entered into in a fine spirit, the old time dances were enjoyed by both old and young. PEG O MY HEART PRESENTED As in every other field, the Dixie is making a showing in the field of dramatics. Many of the students and two of the instructors of the D. C. took, part in the presentation by the South Ward Mutual, of Peg O My Heart Jan. 23. All of the parts were very ably taken, especially that of Peg. The cast was as follows : Melba Woodbury Peg Mrs. Chichester .... Mabel Jarvis Alaric Chichester .... Carl Workman Ethel Chichester Katherine Miles Sir Gerald Adair .... Glenn Orton C hristian Brent, J. W. Harrison Montgomery Hawks, Bert Faw- cett Jarvis Clarence Schmutz Bennet Agnes Bleak This play was so "well liked by all w'ho saw it that a second pre ,entation Saturday SHIP IS STRESSED One of the most popular sections of the Dixie College Leadership Institute, was that for scout leaders. This section met four times daily during the entire time of the institute. Prof. A. J. Morris of the B. A. C. was the director. Mr. Morris is commissioner of the Zion National Park Council. He gave some wonderful work, and the scout leaders of this section are enthusiastically applying the material he presented. Mr. Oscar A. F irkham, assistant regional executive, was present during the last two days of the institute and gave the scout men much to reflect upon. Probably one of the most interesting features of the week was the Pow Wow managed by Mr. Kirkham. This took place noon. Saturday methods were demonstrated. Campfire illustrated and Some practical Indian lore was introduced. A number of entertaining and educational contests were also engaged in by the scout patrols. The truly educational feature of the week was the scout play, Kids Awakening, presented by the Pole Star troop of St. George, under the direction of B. Glen Smith. This was put on for the benefit of the visiting delegates. It had been presented once before in St. George. Mr. Kirkham spoke very highly concerning the work of the boys. The Patrol Method was the central theme of the scouting section. The scout delegates organized into a typical troop. Live patrols were organized and real patrol competition was featured. The Coyote patrol, under the leadership of Elmer Graff, carried off most of the honors. The following topics were considered : The Patrol Method, The Troop Officers Council, Tenderfoot Technique, Games and Contests That Instruct, The Model Troop Meeting, How to use the Handbooks, testing Standards, Interest Material. EXTENSION COURSES GIVEN The extension courses given at the D. C. have been welcomed and taken advantage of by a The call for applications for graduation from the high school department was made last week the COmmittee on Approximately fifty applications have been received to date.
