Show TIIE DIXIE SUN TWO September 25, 1959 Message From Dean of Students By DEAN LORRAINE WOODBURY It is certainly a pleasure to greet each of you at the beginning of this school year. Already I detect in your faces and your general attitude that spirit which makes for a great school year. May I encourage you to keep and develop that spirit; it is the thing that will make the difference between success and failure, between happiness and sadness, both this year, next year, and throughout the remainder of your life. As I have visited with many of you these last few days there developed in my mind three questions. First, why are you here? Second, what Just a parsing note on the coming class elections: these can Dixie do for you? Third, what can you do for Dixie? The answer to the first question immediately appears obvious, howofficers will represent us all year in important and demanding ever, I suspect that to many of you the complete answer is yet to come. positions. Lets begin thinking now and avoid getting any of your purpose Dixie has much to offer in professional and duds at the helm of our parties, competitive assembly or Regardless cultural development if you will decide to talke all she can offer.

The high school did areas of study with the thought that you may find new horizons of interest, for further vocational or avocational training. a good job the college should probably do the same. What can Dixie do for you? The question was answered in part in the above paragraph, however, I think the greatest service she can render you is to keep you busy, both in your curricular and extra curricular activities, for you will feel content only when you are actively progressing toward a worthwhile goal. May I encourage you to participate in as many of our activities as your schedule will allow. Do this and I will guarantee you from your point of view, the most satisfactory school year you have known. May I urge you to consider the third question most seriously. Just what can you do for Dixie? This seems like a selfish question a Editorials have somewhat of a dry reputation, it seems, faculty member to express, however, you will find that there is for more in giving than getting, therefore if you will for this reason it may be a valid editorial subject to discuss pleasure develop the philosophy of trying to do more for Dixie than you expect her to do for you the very depth such an article wants to involve. then at years end you will find, Im sure, that she has actually rendered Admittedly, last weeks attempt to sound like the Salt you the greatest service.
