AND DIXIE TIE FOR JUDD MEDAL The annual Judd Medal debate between Dixie and B. A. C. this year resulted in a tie. The home teams winning in both cases. The question discussed was, Resolved that the U. S. should adopt uniform marriage and Divorce laws. Dixie affirmative supported the contentions that it is necessary since conditions are deplorable, and present diversity in law is undermining the stabil-ilt- y of the home. They followed this up by proving that it is logical and would operate successfully. The B. A. C. negative claimed that it was unnecessary and would not work. The Dixie representatives, Elvis Terry and Ferol McQuarrie, had a splendid style as debaters and handled rebuttals with skill and efficiency. They gained a two to one decision. At Cedar the debate was close and handled well by both teams. The Dixie negative upheld by Mary Graham and Newel Frei met the issues of the B. A. C. team and well represented the school. However, their power was not great enough to cope with the orators of B. A. C. The decision in this case was two to one in favor of Cedar. The medal, however, will remain with Dixie until Cedar is again victorious. Dixie hopes to make it a permanent trophy. STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBERS TO WORK IN ZION Word has been received by President Jensen that the Union Pacific officials in charge of Zion Park Lodge were very much pleased with the work rendered by College students last year as waitresses at the Lodge and they are desirous of getting more students this year than before. The moral stability of the students and their attention to the duties assigned them seems to have won this praise from the officials. A long list of students who have applied for work in the Park is being prepared and it is expected that from this list the officials will be able to choose a suffici- ent number of students who can uphold the moral and efficiency standards advocated by the school and as set last season.

Johnson the director, and the students of the Beaver High School are to be complimented on presentation of this opera. The Beaver high school orchestra accompanied the opera and added materially to the success of the production. The audience, altho rather small, was very appreciative. The limited crowd was due to the limited time for advertising and the unfavorable weather conditions. The company remained in St. George during Saturday evening returning to Beaver Sunday. Due to an error in arrangements our Beaver friends were not received in the usual Dixie fashion, but after the error was discovered every effort was made to extend hospitality to them. We hope they will come again. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN The four debaters who did attend the state debating tournament under the auspices of Mrs. Juanita Pulsipher do hereby submit their report : This same said party left St. George, Utah on March 24, in the year of our Lord 1926, after a brief delay on the part of the members of of the male gender of the species. On that lengthy day of travel, loud were their prophecies of success and recognition. Into the city they arrived with eyes as big as saucers, hearts palpitating with sheer joy of living; and they returned the some way. When the day dawn was breaking, they were awakening. With beating knees and trembling hearts, two distinguished female members of the highly honoured party met their Waterloo. Though the cannons roar and battle smoke threatened to wreck weaker spirits than theirs, these noble Wellingtons trod on the necks of their foes. On the afternoon of the said day, long ere the sun had sunk, the two remaining mixed species of this said distinguished, learned quartet rose to defend the issues of their faith. Amidst the applause from the audience and remarks from the gallery, they began the fire on the front line. After the smoke had cleared away, through the vista came the shouts of victory and above the din the crimson, white, and. blue mingled the colors of Two. When the soft gray of the twilight faded into fog and silence ; and the lights of the city were limned in against the nothingness of the night ; with the divine sense of living, feeling and pulsing these debaters supped on chicken. They came, they saw, and the knot was tied. JUNIOR PROM IS A BIG SUCCESS The most eventful night of the year, a night to be long remembered, was April 2. The gym which has held many a hilarious crowd took on a new atmosphere. As soon as people passed under the arch into the dance hall, they were picked up and set down in glorious old Spain, filled with romance and adventure. The dim, colored lights and flowery arches intoxicated everyone from the young flip to the most solemn and staid old Everybody forgot the daily humdrum of life and their newly awakened spirits went to their feet as they glided over the highly polished floor to the time of the best dance music that has thrilled a prom crowd in all the years of Dixie school life. A magnificent old Spanish spring babbled up in the center to break the monotony of just one great dance floor. But eyes were not compelled to wind in and out between pillars to find beauty ; they strayed in every direction and sought out the most stylish dancing pumps and the direct from Paris gowns. In other words the dance floor was little more than a fashion show. The remainder of the season will be only a reminder of that grand old Junior Prom. The more or less too full dancing programs will be a lasting reminder of that romantic Old Spanish Court. great-grandfathe- r. DIXIE GIRLS WIN FROM B. A. C. IN GIRLS DAY TRACK MEET The Dixie girls challenged the girls of the B. A. C. in competitive sports for Girls Day and thus proceeded to carry off all the honors. In the 50 yd. dash with three entries and in the relay race, Dixie was victorious. Voile Stucki, Dixies best runner, made the dash in slightly over six seconds. The base-bagame was the most interesting and biggest feature in the events. During the first two innings the B. A. C. girls were ahead but Dixie soon passed them. Dixie girls steadily piled up their score with the resulting victory of 78 to 25. B. A. C.
