A WHAT THE DIXIE COLLEGE GIRLS ARE DOING TKIBl'TE TO THE WESTERN GIRL Prize l(inn Greetings From The Amitia Girls Many years ago when the West was made, With its canyons, mountains, and streams, The Creator decided to look for a queen To rule this great land of dreams. And he said, She must be the very best That all nature can unfurl. So He worked and fashioned His Masterpiece, And called it The Western Girl.' lie took the silk from the milkweed tall To make the maidens hair He tinted it brown, then sprinkled it all With His shining sunbeams fair. For her eyes the blue of the Western skies, Brilliant with twinkling stars. For her ears He gathered two deli- -' cate shells That lay on the shimmering lake shores. From some clay He shaped a perfect nose; And then where the mountain dips He gathered the reddest strawberries there, lips. And fashioned two Her teeth He modeled of purest pearls. Her throat of a fleecy cloud, Her skin He made as soft and while As the sego lily proud. From the hillsides He gathered Indian Paints And tinted her cheeks so fair. For her laugh the ripple of canyon streams, Her voice the song of birds rare. Then He molded and mixed w th Heavenly grace A beautiful, perfect form, And gave it the strength of the Western sun And the breath of breezes warm. From precious metals among the hills He made her a heart of pure gold; From the mountains He gave her stateliness And the beauty the canyons unfold; The pine gave dignity; the wild rose, i To all of you who have hearts big enough to understand us, who know about the smiles and tears of girlhood, who see our faults, but love us still, we extend a hearty greetWe desire to let you know that the Amitia girls of ing. the Dixie College are flourishing nicely, and are full of youthful energy and ambition, which, mingled with our dreams, helps us to find the joys that lifes springtime offers, and to lay our contribution of love on the alter of service. STORY Al) POEM The Story and Poem contest, conducted by Miss Phillips and Mrs. McAllister, is a bigger success than ever this year.

The next best story by Ora Workman, and poem by Mary Walker, are also published in this issue. Honorable mention is due Jennie Empey and Yilate Roundy for poems, and to Clara Farnsworth, Jennie Heaton, LaRue Nelson, and Anna Miles for short stories.

First of all is the Amitia Girls Club, which receives due recognition elsewhere in this issue. Then there is the Rota Beta Society, a live organization of girls. And girls form a majority of both the Debating and Dramatic clubs; and the tennis club boasts a splendid representation from the fairer sex. Do you remember how the girls led out in the yell contest last fall, by doing the challenging, and following it up with commendable yelling? And have you noticed that both the Heber J. Grant and the Washington Oration were won by girls? To say nothing of the literary contests at Christmas time? Besides this there are girls in several responsible positions in the Student-Body government, as well as in the various class organizations. Not least in importance is the everyday association wich the girls afford, their merry laughter, their smiles, their brightening effect on an otherwise dull campus. And we must not forget to mention that, in the last analysis, it is the woman-powe- r behind the faculty that makes the wheels go round.
