He was followed by Dr. West. There JOURNALISTS Our School Songs after the school was established, students sought for a Soon school song. One of the first sung was to the melody of Maryland, My Maryland. The voids were written by Chester Whitehead, paraphrasing the song used at the U.S.A.C. at that time but substituting Our Dixie School for A. C.U. This was soon discarded for it seemed to be a direct copy of the song from the state school. In 1913, two of the lady faculty members one of them was Miss Mamie Jones, piano instructor found a lively march tune and fit words to it. This song, We are Cheering for You Dear Dixie has been used ever since. In the 20s a contest was sponsored to attempt to find something characteristic of Dixie. Fifteen songs were submitted by students, faculty members and Alumni members. Some songs were presented and considerable time was taken to make a selection. There was a great variety. Each one was sung by groups favoring the respective song and also by the entire student body until 10 were eliminated. The five receiving highest vote endured for a time until only three were left, then two. Some favored Dixie Has No Alibi which is still sung on certain occasions. This was composed Thurston. The melody is that of the Harvard football song. The College song, Ihcn selected, has for the music two trio strains from seperate band selections. The words are by A. K. Hafen. Later the "Spirit of Old Dixie was written by II. L. Reid and set to the melody of a band selection. This song came into existence to fill a certain need for special occasions, as the title suggests. Other songs have been used, some for a short time only, others for longer periods. During the contest at the time the college song was selected, others presented seemed to be ap- very-goo- melody of Old Heidelberg written by Annie Atkin Tanner, seemed very appropriate for an alumni song. Oh, Dixie, Dear Dixie, by John T. Woodbury, Jr. was used as a commencement number, but most of these have not been used extensively. La Vera McArthur wrote Oh, Dixie Flyers about the time Mr. Reid wrote his song. This was used frequently' at ball games and occasions celebrating the games. Dixie, Oil, Dixie, to the tune of Moonlight and Roses was given to u.s by Oscar W. Kirkam, scout leader, while he was here visiting the school. It has continued to be popular. Many songs for games and special celebrations have been used at various times but We are Cheering for You Dear Dixie has been with us longest and Dixie Has No Alibi and The Spirit of Old Dixie are extensively' used along vith the official College song.
