On February 14, 1915, the boys of the school gathered on the Black Hill and began the construction of the "D". The first painting was done under the direc­tion of Clarence Abbott who was the Commissioner of Discipline in the Student Government.

 Nearly 100 boys were involved in the project. It took about three hours to move all the rocks into place, after which they gave it the first coat of white lime. The girls brought a luncheon and they celebrated the first Dixie Day--a luncheon which became a tradition that lasted until the 1970's.
