Sylvia is a reporter for The Dixie Sum Bom here in St. George on Jan. 13, 1938, she has lived here ever since except for a short six months when the family moved to Arlington, Ariz. Sylvia went to the second grade there. Then, continuing on through grade school and Woodward, she has finally come to Dixie. Not only does she have the looks that any girl would envy, but also she seems to be bubbling over with talent. Dancing, playing the piano and violin, horseback-ridinsinging and boys seem to be only a trickling of her talents and hobbies.

While in the tenth grade she was commissioner of amusements for her class. 5 ruary. g, Elma Ann McArthur and Geniel McConkie, yearbook remind students that tomorrow Wednesday is the deadline for handing in petitions for popular boy and girl.

Ver Don Brinkerhoff Our boy personality this week is Dixies Ver Don Brinkerhoff, freshman cheerleader. Ver Don, along with Don Burris, the upper division cheerleader, was instrumental in organizing the boys pep club. As one of the cheerleaders, Ver Don went to California last December for the cheerleading school held at Pepperdine State college in Los Angeles. The Dixie students there were the only ones from out of the state of California at the school. Athletics is one of Ver Dons major interests. He is particularly good at tumbling. Along with his brother, Leon, and Don Burris, he works out handsprings and many other tumbling feats. Ver Don boxes and wrestles and has done comical exhibition numbers in smokers with Leon. Weightlifting is one of his hobbies. Last spring he, with Leon and Dean Cottam and others, were sponsored by the Elks lodge to compete in the Intermountain states boxing tournament held in Salt Lake City. Although Ver Don was a year young, and fighting boys a year older than he, he placed third in the novice division. As a result of this, he is a member of the Amateur Athletic union. On the evening- of January 10, Ver Don was promoted from the office of private first class to corporal in the national guard. He has been in the guard for about a year and is now in the second division. Ver Don spends his Monday evenings training at the national guard armory. , As mathematics comes easy for him, Ver Don thinks he will go out in mechanical engineering, probably continuing at either the Brigham Young university or the University of Utah after finishing his four years at Dixie. He still has three more years to crystalize his decision on this point. He has found time for some of the fine arts tap and ballet dancing, playing piano, ukulele and guitar and he used to sing with Leon. Bom in Park City, Ver Don lived there, then in Glendale, then back to Park City for the first grade and the remainder of his years have been spent in Dixie He says he likes school here. Being a short fellow, it is no wonder that tall girls are his pet peeve. Chocolate appeals to his appetite as a favorite food. Dixie college. They found desirable features in all the buildings they visited, and from them formulated their plans for a new gymnasium to be built on the new campus site. They hope to get one similar to the gymnasium at Cyprus high school, about six feet longer. The dressing room arrangement at West high school in Salt Lake City was the best they found. The new gymnasium will not be elaborate but will be sufficiently large to take care of not only present needs as well as anticipated future requirements. Seating facilities will be sufficient to take care of all who may wish to see the games. The revenue from those who must be turned away from games in the old gymnasium will make it possible for the teams to take more and longer trips which have heretofore been impossible because of lack of funds the athletic department. Dixies present gymnasium facilities are inadequate and substandard as is evidenced by several things: Last Friday evening at the in axe game between C. S. U. and Dixie, standing room was unavailable. Part of the physical education classes are taught in .the L.D.S. recreation hall. No dressing room is available for the visiting teams, necessitating the use of girls facilities for that purpose. The gymnasium, which was constructed in 1919 is out-date- d, un- dersized, and undermined by termites, although this condition has been treated. The construction of a new gymnasium will solve all these r Snovs j Modem Cleaners Well Pressed Is Well Dressed Phone 115 For Quality Portraits Photo Supplies ODEGARD'S Photo Shop I ' if i |
