Show VOLUME II. SAINT GEORGE, UTAH, MAY NUMBER 10. 8, 1924. must annual college day a DIXIE MINS TRACK MEET DIG SUC CESS, SUPT. ADAM S. BEN. NION PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Supt. Adam S. Bennion, of the Church schools and Prof. Amos N. Merrill of the B. Y. U. were the speakers at the first annual College Day held April 25th. The message Bennion was, in his own of Supt. words a strange message from the San Quentin prison of California, but as handled by Supt. Bennion it carried conviction to every soul that crowded to capacety the Stake Tabernacle. X The College Day celebration as observed this season for the first time is to become an annual celebration in Dixie. The purpose of the day will be to bring the College and its work to the patrons and friends of the in- X stitution. It is a move originated at the suggestion of President Edgar t A PARTING WORD You are just completing another cycle in your lives. Some of you have done splendidly, some passing well and some well, we won't mention it. The knowledge you have gained in school this year will either be forgotten soon or by proper application of it in your daily work, will ripen into wisdom and wisdom should be the end of all education the Supreme Prize. Read carefully the following from Proverbs 3. and then jot down indelibly in your mind the determination to live straight this summer and to come back next September to learn more about how to live happily. Happy is the man that tindeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding: For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, And the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more percious than rubies: And all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; And in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. E. JI. J. Friday, May 2, the duel southern division track meet was held in St. Seven schools participated, George. including Dixie, Parowan, B. A. C., Ilinkley, Kanab, Beaver and Valley High. The competition was keen and the meet was truly one of the closest ever staged in Dixie. The men from each school showed careful training and untiring practice. Carrol of the Valley High is one of the best allround athletes in the State and easily took first place in several events. Johnson of Kanab also made an enviable record. The records made by these two schools were certainly unusual, due to the fewness of men and because the schools are little more than recently established Junior Highs. The men from Parowan made a good showing, and the place winners from Hinckley, Beaver, and I!. A. C. showed good form. Dixie took but two first places, those in the Relay and Discus, but due to the fiumber of entrances and second place winners the track meet was easily won. The list of events are as follows: 100 yd.
