A MOTHER S PRAYER y As i stand honored as a mother with acts of kindness and with gifts of love from my children others songs, tributes and glowing praises to motherhood, I bow my head to thee; O, My Father, in supplication and in pleading for thy help and thy guidance; to give me light to see, wisdom to know, and strength to do only that which would make me the true mother thou wouldst have me be. Help me to teach my children to seek guidance from thee and to walk in thy ways, so that they will live not for pomp and power but for the service they can give mankind. Endow me, dear Lord, with love to forgive, with patience to endure, with charity for all and with ever abiding faith. Let me impart such as these to my children; that later in them we may find clean, wholesome manhood and womanhood of true worth. All these would I ask of thee, dear Lord, that I may be more worthy of this love, these gifts, tributes, and praises bestowed on my motherhood. To-da- DIXIE LOYALTY "Our Dixie School! She is our Alma Mater grand, To us the noblest in the land, And true to her well ever stand Our Dixie School! When the Creator made our Dixie land, he left therein a certain indefinable spirit which makes one want to linger there. No one having felt the influence of that spirit can ever separate himself entirely fronTit. Our Dixie College is the embodiment of that spirit and all who enter its doors forever after sing its praises. Wheresoever they may wander and whatsoever may be in their walks of life, there lingers within their hearts a deep seated loyalty to the institution that gave to them new ideals, new thoughts, and new purposes in life. In years to come whatsoever fame may come to Dixie comes to each of her loyal citizens who may say with pride, "This is my own my native land, May her institutions ever stand. E. G. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS OF 21 September the Dixie student officers accepted a great responsibility, a responsibility that was heavier than ever placed upon previous student body officers, that of changing the policy of the student body government, and formulating and operating a new constitution. During the entire year they have showed their ability as managers. They have put the new form of government on a firm basis and proved to the students that they were capable and worthy leaders. The Dixie Studentbody appreciates the willing effort of these people and feel that they have been exceptionally well served. William Snow has been very efficient in his work as Chief executive and chairman of the executive council. His responsibilities have been many and varied in the establishing of the new form of government. He has been well supported by both the elective and appointive officers. In body THE PUBLISHERS During the year the Dixie News has been printed by the Washington R. R. THE DIXIE SPIRIT One cannot be around the Dixie long without being conscious of the strong feeling cf good fellowship that exists among the students and teachers. There is no class distinction; eveiyone is treated with the same warm friendship, so long as he lives up to the standards of the institution. Unlike many institutions of the "Dixie is not a social parade ground for those who have money to spend for recreation, but is rather a place where people of limited means come to prepare themselves for lives of useful service. and high Clean sportsmanship scholastic standards are two of the paramount objects of the institution. The general sentiment of the College is to win if hard consistent effort will win, but defeat is preferable to victory if misrepresentation or foul play must be resorted to. If school spirit consists of self initiated holidays, and a general disregard for authority, then we are sadly lacking in spirit; but if one judges from a standpoint of accomplishment, I think there can be little question as to the position Dix--i- e holds among the schools of the M. S. state. y, flag-rushe- s, 1025 OUR COLLEGE POLICY FOR If it be true that spirit and reason rule the universe, then the highest is of and most enduring knowledge a not and the of spirit the things of science, knowledge of agriculture, othof business managment or of any branches. er of the so called practival tYe must honor these and insist that we are forced to they be studied but the study of religthem above place instituion, history, literature and tional life for these stand in closest hurelation to the highest forms of man activity. It will be the policy of our school to socialize our objectives, to head away from the idea of individual to gain to that of service. We hope establish the thought that if one gets an education it will enable him to understand other people, to get the other persons point of view; it will make him more helpful; it will make it possible for him to serve better, and work better with others in this service. "The greatest value that a man derives from a college education is its broadening influence on the mind the ability to see things from many three angles and this requires things: First There must be imagination; the habit of seeing far beyond what is, to what might be. Second We must have faith and These produce the willinghope. ness to venture.
