Dixie Flyer Fight Song
We'll fight for the cause of Dixie, no stain shall mar her name. Her foes shall meet sure disaster, as they met her in life's game. Resistless her men push onward, as they hold her banners high. Defeat never comes to Dixie, for she has no alibi.
Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie, Dixie,
We'll stand by her through all trials, At her shrine our knees will bend. A faithful guide she has ever been, When we needed most a friend. Her mountains and hills may crumble, but her spirit ner' will die, Defeat never comes to Dixie, for she has no alibi!!!
Dixie High School Hymn
Oh Dixie we love thee, To thee, We'll be true. Oh Dixie we honor thee with thy emblems white and blue. Thy days always golden, thy skies so fair, Shed radiance on Dixie High and warm our spirit rare.
As I wander down life's highway, May I always take with me, The memories of Dixie High wherever I may be.
So three cheers for Dixie High and to her noble quest, For learning and honor, May we always give our best. A prayer for our Dixie High, the bold Blue and White, May ideals they stand for, E're be a Beacon Light.
