Ferron C. Losee (1910-1991) was born in Panguitch, Utah. He graduated from Provo High School in 1928. He received his bachelor degree from Brigham Young University in 1936 and his masters (1940) and doctorate (1950) from the University of Southern California. His career in education began at Roosevelt High School in 1936 and continued at Weber State University and Cal. State University. In 1964 he became the 11th president of Dixie State College. During his twelve years at Dixie he became known as "the Builder of the Dixie College Campus." He changed the image of Dixie from the small campus downtown with an enrollment of 383 students to a campus covering 89 acres with an enrollment of over 1200. The name was also changed during his tenure from Dixie Junior College to Dixie College. President Losee oversaw construction of the Obert C. Tanner Amphitheater in Zion Canyon, the fine arts center mosaic and the water fountain on the new campus. He caught and loved the "Dixie Spirit" establishing Dixie's Program Bureau (PB) and hiring Roene DiFiore (Mrs. "D") as its conductor. After his retirement of 36 years in education, he established and led the Micronesia-Guam Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saings. He married his sweetheart, Faye Greer of Provo, Utah, in 1936 and they are the parents of three daughters.
