Show Tuesday, THE DIXIE SUN PAGE SIX December 21, 1954 Policy on Study Hall Sherrie Ann Ott Elected Season Tickets Available Dixie College Campus, Absence Takes Effect Paper Staff Personality For Dixie Basketball; Building Don Festive Finished California Tour For Dixie High Students No doubt a number of students of the Dixie high school will be somewhat disappointed when they pick up their report cards to find their grades have been cut for the autumn quarter because of their failure to attend the study periods to which they have been assigned. The faculty recognized the problem early in the quarter and students were told that all grades would suffer if they did not meet with this requirement or show good reasons why they should not do so. If students were needed at home or could secure work permits to accept employment elsewhere, they were excused from attending. Or if students were carrying their academic load well enough to merit average grades of B or better they have also been permitted to miss the study period. Despite these conditions, however, many have taken their responsibilities lightly and will be penalized one grade point for each weeks absences. For example, a B grade will be reduced to C. The number of absences that will constitute a week varies with the number of study periods to which a student has been assigned. If they are to be in study two days a week, two unexcused absences will lower their grades one point. If they are required to be in attendance five hours a week they will be penalized for the fifth hour of unexcused absence. According to law students are required to be in school, unless otherwise excused for good reason, until they are eighteen years old. It is the responsibility of the school personnel to do their best to keep them there. Between the hours of nine and four oclock, noon excepted, the Dixie high school student should be on our campus unless other arrangements have been mutually agreed to. Many students do not have the study problem at all. The beneficial arrangement of having Dixie high school a part of Dixie college provides a wide range of elective subjects that students can profitably take during their free hours. Many students do so and by judicious use of their hours after school make their every day a profitable one. Others use their study hour prudently in preparing for the next days assignments. Those who fail to take either course are, of course, seriously handicapping themselves. We at Dixie college hope that parents and guardians will do what they can to help us encourage students to make their stay with us profitable, as well as enjoyable. ARTHUR F. BRUHN Acting President Season's Greetings from x Cleaners For 40 years the most complete cleaning plant in town. i, Season tickets for Dixie high school and Dixie college home basketball games will go on sale at Rex Nelsons Fountain and The Dixie Drug and Fountain. Tickets are being held for student purchases for the area just north of the main entrance on the east side. The reason for this policy is that the Dixie cheer section has secbeen moved to the north-eation of bleachers and by reserving the neighboring section for students to purchase reserved seats it is hoped that the students can do more cheering for the teams. The Boys Pep club, just recently organized on the campus, is taking a large block of the seats in the reserved section. The athletic council has also moved the visiting schools bleacher corner section to the north-weof the gymnasium. This may make it more convenient for townspeople and get the student cheers more centralized. With the basketball prospects what they are for the coming year these tickets should be in great demand. This is not saw of coming the old power for the team but what we have seen in the action of the teams so far this year. Coach Brooks and his Flyers made some impressive wins over Panguitch and Millard high school from Fillmore. The games which the Flyers have played so far is that all of the players have. seen action with Brooks still looking for that perfect combination for the season. On their recent swing through California Coach Wilson and the Rebels met some of the toughest competition on the coast in the junior class. The scores indicate that the games were good tight ones with edge going to the experience of the California schools. The results were as follows: Bakersfield 83, Dixie 69; Compton 66, Dixie 69; Chaffey 78, Dixie 67; San Bernardino 76, Dixie 67. The players who have so far proved their real worth to the team this year are Daniel Miles, a consistently high scorer; Bryant Solomon, play maker and scorer but not yet as consistent as he has been in the past; Scott Graff play maker and scorer showing more drive and determination this year; Fred Heywood, scorer and defensive ball hawker fast and in better shape than last year; Gary Wayne Graff, emerging as a strong scorer and consistent player; Sheldon Clove, spark plug and play maker. The other players are strong enough to give good depth to the team. st st Sherrie Ann Ott, that cute little freshman with the sunny smile, was chosen our paper staff personality of the week for her hard work and vitality that goes to help make this paper successful. Born September 25, 1938 in Cedar City, Utah, she then began her grand tour of Utah, living in Salt Lake City, Provo, Delta, Tropic, and finally, in 1944, she made it to St. George where she has lived since. Last year, when she was a senior at Woodward, Sherrie had the difficult job of being commissioner of amusements for the student body. She also worked on the school paper for two years. Now, as a freshman at Dixie, Sherrie seems to be equally as busy as sne was last year. She is a news reporter for the Dixie Sun. She is a member of the G.A.A. and pep club. She is the F.H.A. president-elec- t for next year, and also is on the sociability committee. Music seems to be another one of Sherries many gifts. Not only does she play the piano but she sings beautifully. She belongs to a trio along with Ethel Pointer and Lynne Harrison. Her hobbies are dancing and singing, and her favorite color seems to be red. She hates to admit it, but her favorite food is a chocolate sundae. After finishing school here, Sherrie plans to attend the B.Y.U. to finish her college career. Dixie College Spanish Club Plan Festivities The annual Christmas party of the Dixie college Spanish club this year will feature traditional American and Spanish activities. The festivities scheduled for Wednesday evening, December 22, at 7:30 oclock, will include a hayrack ride and the singing of Spanish Christmas carols. Following the hayrack ride and caroling, the group will assemble in the college gymnasium for the traditional breaking of the Spanish Pinata. Spanish games, refreshments, and the exchanging of gifts will round out the evening activity. The general party committee includes Janice Reber, Marion Hafen, Patsy Gubler, and Sharon Leavitt. pre-seas- A!' In cooperation with !
