Show THE DIXIE SUN PAGE FOUR February 19, 1958 And What of the Dixie Spirit? Much static has filled the air in some quarters of late relative to an alleged deficiency in that most intangible part of our school known as the 'Dixie Spirit. When examined the weepers and waiters seem to sense a need for more hip hurrah and razamataz at the ball games. Ofhers contend that, here ought to be more hoop de do at the dances. Perhaps both of these needs are real. Cut to say that this is evidence of lack of Dixie Spirit indicates that a careful analysis of the Spirit has not been made. Lets face it Some of our students simple are not hoop de doers or raznma-tazerThey get their maximum enjoyment at the ball games quietly watching the lads toss the sphere into the home hoop. And they like the dances best when thev are permitted to hold the girl of their choice in their arms in the darker parts of the rec hall. Dos this mean they have no Dixie Spirit? to If the Dixie Spirit is conf-nevocal emoting at the athletic contests, such statements may hold considerable water. But to many of us, the holes in their sieve are finger size. To us the Dixie Spirit involves many things such as Lee Ilafens rnormng ritual of going to his west window to get a view of D. It also involves the his sharing of memories of the historic Chicago trip with his American History class, and lus rniet loans to needy students. It is in evidence as the pan"r staff rushes from their noon time meeting to heat the deadline at school lunch to rice, to .shouting facetiously, rice. We glimpse it as thn Taff gets together to create a new 'lage for our beloved annual. And it is notably conspicious each precious moment during those two wonderful days every spring after these memorable volumes are distributed. And isnt the old cement bench in front of the administration building a part of the Dixie Spirit? And ? the hurried goodnights at the And what of the toting of the bags of lime up the face of the D, and the widely scattered whitewash? Would you deny the friendships and hustle engendered by the competitive assemblies? Can anyone subtract the field s. d trips, the late hours in the chemistry labs, Mr. Woodburys turning his discussion of physiology to philosophy, the early morning meetings of student council, the Christmas decorations, the musicals, the holding of hands and the quiet prayers just before curtain time when each play is presented, election time, Don Camerons individual counsel, the wisdom of Juanita Brooks, happy smile, or the hours spent just goofing off on the lawn? And we have only scratched the surface. We add to it with every wholesome and creative activity that we engage in either collectively or individually. Complicated? Surely. Deficient or dying? Dont be ridiculous. Only simple things are diminished or die easily. As long as the lights burn early and late with productive enterprise; as long as we turn in with the fatigue born of a job well done; as long as we are giving, and giving, and giving; as long we keep before us the ideals that burned so bright in the minds of our founding fathers; as long as we live and think this way: the exuberant and the quiet, the musician anti the machinist, the artist and the athlete the teacher and the student; each will find that we are making the Dixie Spirit more than ever before an intangible, and yet beloved school truly unforgetable.
