Class Song And Now Farewell When we picture our high school way up near the sky, lust a tear of remembrance will come to our eye, Our memories of Dixie we,ll ever hold high . . . U And now farewell. The games that we lost and the games that we won, The Follies and dances where we had such fun, Our strolls ,round the campus, the warm summer sun . . . And now farewell. Weall recall our classes, the lads and all the lasses, Our Senior Play, Alumni Ball-how could we forget them all? And now graduation will take us away, But deep in our hearts all your memories will stay. We leave you our thanks, then we go on our way . . . And now farewell. -Ioan Stewart.

Class History As we, the graduating class of 1948, approach the completion of our high school career, it hardly seems possible that we are nearing the end of our six happy years at Dixie. We re- member so well that day we met together in the auditorium for the first time. We recall, now fondly, and again sadly, the trials and tribulations of those first two years. It was all a little strange, although now we wonder how it could have ever been. But as we entered our first year of high school, we felt that we were in. We were fully organized as a class for the first time, and although we sponsored no important activities that year, it was a foundation for the year to come. As sophomores, we were grateful for the in- valuable help of our sponsors, Mrs. Fitz-Hugh and Mr. Harris. Our class officers were: Frank Hicks, President, Glenn Dammert, Vice-Presi- dent, Ioan Stewart, Secretary, Kent Savage, Treasurer. Ordering our class rings at the beginning of the Junior year was an exciting event but then we were faced with the problem of making money for the Junior Prom. Some activities that helped solve our problem were giving dances after the football and basketball games and selling magazine subscriptions. Our officers for this eventful year were: Philip Yelton, Presi- dent, Dewey Benson, Vice-President, Buddy Rouse, Treasurer, Ioan Stewart, Secretary. Our class sponsors were Miss Allgeyer and Mr. Green. We cannot think of our Iunior year without remembering the thrill of winning the district tournament trophy as well as the regional tro- phy, and of thumbing, begging, and stealing rides to see our boys play in the state tourna- ment in Louisville. Those of our class who were members of the team were: Kent Savage, Bar- ry Iolson, Sox Benson, and Floyd Click. The Junior Prom crowned our year of pleas- ant activities as we crowned the King and Queen of the Prom, Bill Kwozalla and Ada Belle Gaines, respectively. For this all-important senior year we elected as officers Bill Barkhau, President, Joe Purdy, Vice-President, Buddy Rouse, Treasurer, Eileen Allen, Secretary. Our sponsors were Miss Rogers and Mrs. Miller. Many of the yearis activities have been directed toward get- ting out a good annual. Toward this end we have sold Christmas cards and solicited ads for the annual. The events that stand out in our minds as being important to our Senior year are the an- nual Alumni Ball in honor of the graduates, at which time Mr. and Miss Dixie the XI, Glenn Dammert and Ioan Stewart, were presented, and the third and most successful Follies Dixie has ever produced. Before the annals of the class of ,48 are closed, let this class be clearly placed upon the records as thanking our teachers, coaches, and parents for their wonderful assistance through the most important period of our lives. We as a group have been faced by a most critical period of our countryis history - the ending of a war and the beginning of a peace, a peace which we trust and hope will continue into the long years to come.
