Talking to the many different people that have graduated from Dixie High was very interesting. When cracking open the white pages of the phone book and calling random numbers, it's crazy to see and talk to all the people who have gone through this amazing school.
Hearing all of the memories and stories that go along with them is the best part! Especially when talking to 13 people for half an hour is all that was accomplished. When interviewing a lady by the name of Nicole Johnson I asked her if she ever went to Dixie or not. “I never personally went to Dixie, but I did have a cousin around the same age that went there. I went to Pine View. It was always really fun going to all of the sporting events and seeing her across
the court or field on Dixie's side. I always secretly wanted to be in her shoes.”
Dixie has changed a lot within the hundred years of being established. Everything from traditions, statistics for sports, activities, number of people and classes, the list goes on and on.
While looking through the phone book, my eye caught the name of Jason Williams. Jason went to Dixie High School years ago and recognizes now how much it has changed since then. “Back in my day there weren'ta lot of people at my school, but the population now of Dixie High has changed so much. It's a pretty big school.”
How were Dixie's athletics and classes different from now? “All of our teams were pretty good and we had some of the same classes,” said Williams. “But nothing like graphics or ceramics or computer technology. Most of all the work we did was written too.”
That just shows how much Dixie has evolved and how advanced it has become. Just like it's loved now, Dixie has been loved in the past and it will continue in the future.
