We have long felt the need for such a building. Besides lacking the necessary room we have needed a building for additional departments. This building symbolizes the realization of the dreams, of the patrons, faculty and student body. The purpose of this building is four-folFirst, that we may have a department of Farm and Auto Mechanics with the necessary equipment ; second, to form a department of Agriculture which will be broad enough in scope to help us solve some of our local problems and give the students a more thorough knowledge of this principal industry ; third, to modernize a department of Chemistry that the students may learn more about the most valuable fields in the scientific world. As suggested the fourth purpose is to provide more room.' This building is constructed that one or two additional stories may be added as the demand for more room increases. At the present time, however, it consists of three large, well equipped rooms on the south side of a roomy hall which leads directly to a room at the further extremity. The north side has two rooms, one small one and a more spacious one which is given over to Farm and Auto Mechanics and Woodwork. The outer portion of the walls of the building is of cement, reinforced with a double layer of adobes. The floors are of cement and the inner walls and ceilings are plastered while the roof is only temporary. The cost of this structure under the present equipped This plans was $20,000.00. amount was raised by various means as follows: Trustee-in-Tru$8000 Student-bod- y Patand Faculty, rons $8000 Equipment made possible thru tuitions and Alumni Bud$4000 get Total Costs $20,000 MARY LYONS WINS IN ARMISTICE DAY ORATORICAL CONTEST Miss Mary Lyons was declared the winner of the Armistice Day Oratorical Contest sponsored by the American Legion.

PROSPECTS DIXIES ATHLETIC GOOD To Honor Our Founders The debating outlook for this year is bright. Dixie has several of her old debaters back and some new material that is very promising. The Student-bod- y budget has placed debating on a fairly secure footing. With careful economy Dixie expects to be able to participate e in the League Debate Debates, the with the B. A. C., and the High School League Debates. Also all oratorical contests will be given the utmost support. Dixie hopes to enter the International Oratorical contest this year.
