The Drowsy Chaperone
The Drowsy Chaperone

This year is an extremely exciting one because Dixie has been scheduled to put on a new play that it has never done before.
Dixie will be the first school in Southern Utah to put on Drowsy Chaperone, which in itself is bragging rights.
Drowsy Chaperone will be an extremely exciting performance since it is new to the school.
This play originated in 1997 when writer Bob Martin created a skit honoring his friend, Martin and his then fiancee, Janet Van De Graaff, as a wedding gift. Among his group of friends were Lisa Lambert, Greg Morrison, and Don McKellar. This rather quirky forty minute musical spoof would later become the full-length musical we now know.

From Print to Internet
From Print to Internet

Has anyone noticed the change in the
world lately? Almost everything is on the internet instead of paper.
The Flyer Flash is a good example of this change going on in the
school.
When did the Flyer Flash start and why
the change in format? “The Flyer Flash started when the high
school and the college separated,” mentioned junior, Shaun Smith.
Every month the Flyer Flash staff
writes their own articles and the editors edit them and then it's
time to format the paper and send it around the school for students
to read. Shaun Smith said with grief that “formatting the paper is
so much harder that formatting The Dixie Blog because you have to
make your own format to where the blog gives you more freedom and
space.”
Why the change to go online? Mr.
Christensen said “because it will cost less, it will be up-to-date,
and we live in an electronic age so we are bringing the Flyer Flash
up to the next century.”
If it's a different format does that
mean the Flyer Flash and the blog will have different articles?
Christensen said “the articles will continue on the blog.”
The idea for the blog started in
August of 2010 for the centennial year and was a way to communicate
with Dixie alumni and the community. To get on the blog you just go
on the school website and scroll down and there is a picture of
Freddy the Flyer. Click on it and there you go, you’re on the blog.
The blog is going to be so different
from the traditional print paper. There will be many ways to get the paper on the
blog instead of waiting for the Flyer Flash every month. Mr.
Christensen listed a few ways of getting the articles you want on the
computer. “There are two options, URL or there will be a barcode on
the blog and you can scan it with your smart phone.”
Along with so many other things going
on at Dixie High School the Flyer Flash is one of the things changing
every year. The Dixie Blog is helping make that change.
