The Southland is represented at Marion College by the DIXIE CLUB. It consists of those students coming from states south of the Mason and Dixon line, namely, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. These students are known on the campus as “Southern Colonels” and “Dixie Belles.” The purpose of this organization is to uphold the standards and ideals of Marion College and to further its interests in the South. During the year the Club sponsors dinners, parties, chapel programs and other functions which enrich the friendship and good-will of its members. In the field of athletics the Club distinguished itself by taking the highest honors in the men’s tennis tournament and participating in many other sports. In the campaign for new students, the Dixies tied with the Wolverines for first place, having a 57% increase over last year’s enrollment and at present shares the shield with that Club. L. H. Mayfield, president; Weston Newton, vice-president; and Frances Garrett, secretary-treasurer, together witth their sponsor, Professor Young, are to be commended for their capable service throughout the year’s activities. f I’aqe 17 1
