The Hew Dixie Student Body President Accepts Gavel Well, kids, another year draws to a close. For the seniors it means the culmination of four years of hard work, times of trial, but lots of fun. However, for us juniors it means one more year to enjoy Dear Old Dixie; to reap the harvests of hard efforts and teachers patience, and to enjoy the wonderful friendships we have here at Dixie. To the sophomores and freshmen, to whom the visions of graduation from Dixie are a little farther off, I give encouragement, and hope they all enjoy their years at Dixie as much as I have. To have been elected president is really a great honor, and I appreciate the confidence the student body has placed in me. With (he excellent officers I have to work with, and the cooperation of r grand student body, Im sure well have another year at Dixie that will compare with all the other marvelous years that have been had here at Grand Old Dixie College. Jimmy Lundberg. Former Dixie Athlete Makes Gridiron History Utahs Dixie has contributed another important man to the gridiron hopes of head coach, Ike Armstrong, of the University of Utah Redskins. He is Russell Neilson, former Dixie high flash in 1944, who is being touted as one of the outstanding backfield hopefuls in Ikes tribe of braves. In spring practice he is showing speed and deception in running and passing. The ball carrier is majoring in physical education and is the son of Air. and Mrs. Antone Neilson of Washington, Utah. He is a veteran of two years service with the navy as a first class seaman. Monday morning, May 2, about oclock, two buses and several cars pulled away from Dixie's portals with most of the sophomore students for their traditional Sluff Day. We all went to Pine Valley picnic grounds for a game of baseball and a really delicious dinner, hot dogs, buns, pickles, ice cream, pop, marshmallows and all the other trimmings to make it a swell luncheon. After a short rest, the kids went down to the open-ai- r pool at Veyo and thence home by 4 p. m. A. K. Hafen and Lee Hafen were the faculty advisors present who joined in the fun and who helped us to make a really memorable sluff day. College Faculty Members 9 John T. Woodbury, Jr., II. L. Reid, and Earl J. Bleak are re- tiring from full time employment at Dixie Junior college at the close of the present school year. Mrs. Fern Star Reeve is resigning for the coming year. These men, together with Joseph W. McAllister, will be on active retirement under the Utah teachers retirement system. It is probable that all of them will have special assignments in addition to the personal plans which they have for future employment. Mrs. Reeve will be occupied with home duties; Mr. Reid will do some writing in special fields which he has been forced to postpone until this time; Mr. Woodbury works steadily with truck transportation and with livestock; Mr. Bleak intends to work in the dairy business. The many, many students and friends who have associated with these excellent teachers, pay tribute to the lives of service and the inspiring contributions which they have made to everyone with whom they have been in contact. It will be appropriate for students, patrons, and friends to let them all know how they have been appreciated and loved throughout the years and also to be fully aware that the retirement program as it operates in these cases frees these tecahers to pursue with greater degree of security, work and hobbies which have not been possible in former years. Teacher candidates for the positions have not been recommended to the state board of education. They will be approved probably at the June 3 meeting of the state board of education. Dixie College Alumni, Friends Enjoy Reunion Friday was Alumni day. Members of the class of 1939 gave the assembly program. A very interesting program was given. More than 50 per cent of that class were in attendance. It was not only a reunion for the class members, but it was stimulating to the entire student body to feel the spirit these alumni members brought with them to the school. Ray Schmutz, who was student body president the year this class graduated, gave the address of welcome. Adrcne M. Cottam sang the devotional number; Bishop Alva Snow offered the prayer; Marion Bowler sang a medley of older songs; Adelia H. Rushforth gave an original reading; Mary Lou Schmutz and Adrene ,M. Cottam presented a vocal duet; Rex McAllister entertained with a pianologue; a scarf dance by a group of fellows and a humorous skit rounded out a very lively program. The theme of the banquet, Dixies Future in the Balance, was, we feel, very appropriate under the present conditions existing in the state this year. Madge M. Cannon was for the evening with the following taking part: Ray Whipple, banjo solo; Mexican Hat dance from the Dixie college dance revue; vocal duet by Lillian Workman and Preston Larson; Mae A. Paces male quartette; instrumental number from members of the college band, and Mrs. Carlyle Marsden sang Just For Now. The speakers were Mardon Lamb, from the graduating class of 1949; V. Pershing Nelson, 1939; LaVera McArthur, 1929; and President Glenn E. Snow. The dinner was prepared by the St. George Second ward to help raise funds for their ward. Officers of the Alumni for the coming year elected at the banquet are: LaVera McArthur, V. Pershing Nelson, Carolle Snow; James Andrus, and Dr. Alpine Prince. toast-mistre- ss Graduates from our college announce the following personal plans.
