We salute the South which has preserved her heritage of gracious living and is fulfilling her destiny as a leader in all phases of American life. DEDICATION To the men and women of Alexander City who, because of their unselfish love for their children, made their dream of a modern, well-equipped school come true, we proudly dedicate the 1953 Echo. wish I was in Dix-ie, Hpo-ray!(hoora; FACULTY Superintendent of Education Mr. P.
