2002 Miracle Yearbook

Each year,just before graduation, Dr.and Mrs. Dixon invite the senior class to their house for the senior reception. This year hundreds ofgraduating seniors attended the Senior Reception that took place on May 26,2002. Sunday dress was required for this fairly formal occasion, giving it an air ofdignity. During the one-hour period, students had a chance to partake ofsome light refreshments and talk with their friends on the vast lawn. They also had the opportunity to take a tour ofthe Dixons' home,guided by Mrs.Pat Dixon, but only ifthey took off their shoes first. One ofthe highlights ofthe afternoon was having pictures taken with Dr.and Mrs. Dixon. Esther Kelly had this to say about her visit to the Dixons:"I have seen the Dixons'home from a distance before, but I have never been able to go inside and walk around the yard. It was definitely nice to get an up-close and personal look at where the Dixons have lived for the past few years." Throughout the reception, the Dixons mingled with the seniors, discussing future plans and past memories. Students enjoyed meeting with the Dixons in their home away from the typical campus setting. The reception was also one ofthe last opportunities for seniors to talk with friends, reminiscing about their time at Cedarville. They enjoyed walking around the yard and sampling the assorted snacks. The reception was a great way for these seniors to close out the school year. 280 Seniors Holly Kuhn and Kristen Maiolo enjoy the after- noon at the Dixons' home.
