The guidance program attempts to diagnose the student, to find his weaknesses and to correct them, to find his good points and to capitalize on them. It attempts to make the student aware of himself and his responsibilities, and to develop in him an integrated personality. Every teacher in every course is vital in making this program function. Hence, the educational objec- tives in all courses, and the philosophy in back of all of the teaching in the school tries to develop in each pupil : Willingness to assume responsibility for complete intellectual and vocational self development which will result in his being adequately equipped to meet society ' s demands. Appreciation and understanding of the value of personality relationships as they affect the attainment of success and happiness of our pupils. Awareness of the place and importance of fundamental skills and techniques. Understanding of the continued need to stress good work habits and orderly, reflective thinking. Appreciation and realization of the satisfaction which comes from creative expression, and the need for developing the individual ' s resources for the constructive use of leisure. Consciousness and practice of good health habits. Helen Davis Corene Embree r Because there is also a need for better adjustment to the situation in which a student finds himself after leaving high school, vocational planning is stressed and vocational interests are determined. Then, on the basis of these interests, conferences are arranged with members of the Faculty Vocational Committee, head- ed by Mr. Addison. These contacts are not lost with graduation. The pro- gram is more far reaching than that. An alumni or- ganization, sponsored by Miss Embree, has been formed in which these contacts are maintained and through which the student comes back to receive help and friendly advice, or often just to have a good time with old friends in surroundings that are dear to him. The success of this program depends upon every teacher in the school, but to Mrs. Hatch, the Coun- selor, more than to any one other person, goes the credit for making Dorsey ' s guidance program the func- tional one that it is. From the entering BlO ' s to the graduating seniors, she is vitally interested in their problems and gives unsparingly of her time to work with the individual students and with their home- room and classroom teachers, to the end that the pro- gram offered these students in high school will give every possible opportunity to each one of them; that it will challenge the best that is in them; that it will assure their maximum intellectual, social, cultural and physical development. Mrs. Davis, Miss Embree and Mrs. Wyatt have worked closely with Mrs. Hatch in setting up this program for the incoming BIO students, handling most of the or- ientation courses through which the new students are introduced to the school and made to feel that they are a part of the community. Mrs. Russell ' s part in the program has centered around the counselling of seniors. She has an individual con- ference with every senior for the purpose of going over his entire school record and seeing that he has sufficient credits for graduation and the proper re- quirements for the course he intends to follow after graduation.

Forming a background for this picture and exemplifying this interest, is a map of the community surrounding Dorsey, on which a survey was made of the stu- dents ' homes. In this survey, a pin was placed to represent each student ' s house. Since eight per cent of the boys and seven per cent of the girls live in houses built since the opening of Dorsey, this survey shows the rapidity with which the community around Dorsey is growing, as well as the exact areas in which most of the Dors ey ' s population is concentrated. Miss Howard, Girls ' Vice-Principal and sponsor of the Ladies, serves as an advis- er to all of the girls, and a co-ordinator of all school social activities. Mr. Kelly, Boys ' Vice-Principal and spon- sor of the Knights and service squads, has boys ' activities and athletic events under his direct supervision. Student administrators, meeting in the leadership class, work with the admin- istration in sponsoring all of the activi- ties of the Dorsey Community. Robert Kelly, Mary Howard. C.

The student body executive board for Winter 1941 was headed by Bill Allen, acting in the capacity of Student Community President. Under his leadership many fine things were accomplished, among them the winning of the Sportsmanship Trophy. In connection with the Sportsmanship Trophy, Bill made several addresses at Western League schools. He fulfilled his official duties by presiding at as- semblies, in the leadership class, and by helping on the personnel and service boards. His genial smile will be long remembered around the Dorsey campus. The personnel boards, under the supervision of Bonita Richardson, Girl ' s Personnel Vice-President, and Don Dickinson, Boys ' Personnel Vice-President, gained new laurels by their cooperation and ad- vice in orienting new students to the school. They met once a week to talk to new students and BlO ' s and to discuss those school affairs which are connected with the board. It was also their job to meet students from other schools and discuss problems pertaining to their field of work. They were a great help in stimulating interest in school clubs and activities.

Under their supervision were the before-school, noon and period hall squads, and all the other service committees which go to make up our Dorsey Community. Cnce a week they met to discuss how Improvements could be made through the service mem- bers. In this task they were assisted by the service commis- sioners. Helen Supple, as Student Community Secretary, kept accurate minutes of all meetings and wrote letters that were a credit to the school. Her main job was to help the Student Body President and her work also Included acting as Secretary of the leadership class. Bill Allen.

The highlight of his career was being chosen to act as Mayor of the city of Los Angeles during Boys ' Week. This was a great honor both for Jim and for Dorsey. It was during his term, that the office of Commissioner of Public Relations was established. The du- ties of this Commissioner are to bring the school and the surrounding community in closer contact and to create a friendlier feeling and a better understanding between them. The need for an office of this type was felt when the Angeles Mesa Kiwanis was staging their second Extravaganza to obtain money for band uniforms. Dick Porter was appointed to act as the first Commissioner of Public Relations. It was also during Jim ' s term of office that the plan originated to add more members to the Executive Board. Lois Bodine and Bill Foxe, as Personnel Vice-Presidents, both accomplished a great deal. Under Lois ' jurisdiction fell the responsibility of Girls ' Day, a tradition which was more successfully carried out than ever before. She had a very capable and efficient Personnel Board working with her. The crown- Lois Bodine, Girls ' Personnel Vice-President; Bill Foxe, Boys ' Personnel Vice-President; lane Elliott.

Bill Foxe expertly headed the Boys ' Personnel Board. A boys ' assembly with the Gym Club performing and Bill Corwin talking to the group, was one of the high lights of his term. Jackie Hester and Arthur Kumamoto ably carried out the du- ties of Girls ' and Boys ' Service Vice-President. Their job, which was a difficult one, was to supervise the various serv- ice committees. Jane Elliott, as Student Community Secretary, did a commend- able job of writing minutes and the letters which tend to draw the Western League into closer union. She kept a com- plete record of the work done each day in the leadership class.

The Hi-Y, sponsored by Mr. Heath, is the oldest service organization on the campus. One of its many duties is helping to keep the circle clean and neat at noon by asl ing the students to eat before enter- ing. Th e Hi-Y fellows help in assemblies by passing out the programs, keeping the students quiet and orderly, and raising the seats when the assembly has been dismissed. An impressive Memorial Day cere- mony, in which members of the Hi-Y participate, is presented each year in the circle for the student body. Because of the amount of service rendered to the student body, the Triangle Club, under the sponsor- ship of Mr. Van Daniker. has become one of the most outstanding service organizations of the Dor- sey community during the short time it has been in existence. One of the most important of these is ushering at the Music Listening Hour, held every second Tuesday in the Little Theatre. It sets up the risers for all school dances and helps in beautifying the grounds and keeping them clean. Permis- sion to obtain the new brown sweaters of which they are so proud was granted to the club by the Executive Board this year. Tri-Y ' s Because of the large number of girls interest- ed in the Tri-Y and the activities of the Y.W. C.A., Dorsey is privileged in having four Tri-Y groups. These groups have rendered indispen- sable services to the comrfjunity. The Alpha Tri-Y, sponsored by Mrs. Thorson and Miss Gill, is made up of Senior Aye girls. These girls usher at all girls ' assemblies and help the Hi-Y in their program for keeping the circle tidy at noon. The Alpha Tri-Y donated a lovely flower bowl which was placed in the foyer of the admin- istration building. Members kept attractive arrangements in it throughout the year. The Beta Tri-Y is sponsored by Mrs. Scott and primarily consists of Senior Aye and Bee girls. They spent most of their time sewing for the Red Cross. Most of the eleventh grade Tri-Y girls belong to the Gamma group which is sponsored by Mrs. Hughes and Miss Jackson. The Delta Tri-Y is a club for tenth grade girls and is under the supervision of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wyatt. The Gamma and Delta Tri-Y ' s inform the girls of the codes, songs, and oaths of the Y.W.C.A. and prepare them for Senior Tri-Y work.

It does much in serving the community. The fellows take charge of the bicycle racks and every spring assist in the big task of registration of bicycles. Another service rendered is keeping the lunch grounds west of the cafeteria neat and orderly. This organization, like the other service clubs, has its social events, and the fellows as a group attend church once a month. 28th St. Hi-Y 28TH ST.

Assisting the Boys ' Service Vice-President are the two Service Connmis- sioners. A student ' s first semester of service is considered probationary and if his work proves satisfactory, he then becomes a member of the Service Board. For his first recommended semester of service, as a regular member of the Board, a silver certificate is awarded to him. For the second semester, a gold certificate is given; for three semesters, a silver pin, and for four semesters, an enameled pin is awarded. Much of the responsibility of keeping the halls quiet and orderly rests on the shoulders of the period and noon hall captains. These students check the halls every period to see that all of the service members are on their posts. If any service member is absent, his captain arranges for a stubstitute to take his place. The traffic squad helps students and faculty to park their cars in the morning and at noon. This squad works somewhat in conjunction with the street squad which directs traffic. These groups are made up en- tirely of fellows who are willing to donate a large part of their time to service for the community. The roving squad circulates around the campus exe- cuting miscellaneous service duties. The parking squad directs the parking of cars for day and evening social functions as well as evening performances in the aud. The yard squad maintains orderly conduct on the gym field at noon. The ticket squad is present at all matinee and evening pay performances to take tickets. CAPTAINS OF HALL COMMITTEES — Row 1 — Hugo Hoffman, Martha Man- son, Al Elliott.

Keeping all students except Senior Ayes out of Senior Court is the duty of the Senior Court service squad which is made up of Senior Aye boys and girls. These students are on duty for one-half hour before school and at noon. The Welfare Board is made up of both boys and girls and does the largest part of its work at Thanksgiving and Christmas time when it expertly conducts the very successful Alpine drives. This squad also spon- sors numerous charity drives on the campus. The Social Committee is made up of boys and girls from all grades. Their job is to plan dances and other community social events. Serving at all special school breakfasts, luncheons, teas and dinners is the duty of the Hostess Club. This service group is made up of girls from all grades. Members are required to serve at least three times to get their service credit. SR.

Under the able guidance of Mr. Heath, the class sponsor, whose help they could not have done without, the class got off to a good start which continued throughout their domina- tion of the school. It was not long before many important decisions were made and Lawrence Carty was unanimously chosen to lead them along the rough roads and bumpy terrain of this important final semester. Chosen to aid him in his work were Helen Kennedy who was selected as Girls ' Vice-President, Dick Yockey was given the authority of Boys ' Vice-President, Mar- garet Sample was chosen to keep the class records, officiating Helen Kennedy, Cirls ' Vice President; Dick Yocky, Boys ' Vice President; Margaret Sample, Secretary; George Willey, Treasurer as class secretary, and George V illey was elected to handle the class funds as class treasurer. Soon, the arrogant seniors were displaying two-toned blue tweed jacket styled sweaters for which Don Bender, an ingenious member of the class, designed the emblem of a rocket ship shooting through a fleecy white cloud with WA] in the foreground. This, along with senior pins and guards similar to the emblem, completed their garb — and proud they were. A highly competitive class struggle took place when the semi-annual Senior Brawl was held in the sta- dium to test the prowess and brawn of the Senior Aye Class. The Modernaires were pitched against the Senior Bee Comanches in various races, tugs-of-war, sack fights, egg throwing contests, and mud baths. Even though the final outcome was not to the complete satisfaction of the Modernaires, they praised the winners, showing a true spirit and sportsmanship. One of the most successful social highlights in the class ' history was the Senior Prom. For this ex- clusive affair, the Modernaires entered a rocket ship which supposedly took the merrymakers to a star 28 M A I R O where they danced under fleecy, white, bal- loon clouds. On Tradition Day, with an impressive cere- mony in the very early hours before first period, the class presented the school with their gift of a trophy case which was to be placed in the administration building facing the circle. After the presentation of the ex- clusive Senior Court to the Comanches, the Modernaires proceeded to breakfast in a rocket ship bound for Futura, where the class proph- ecy, written by Florence Smith and Norma Laver, was read over the din of seniors par- taking of minute steaks, jam, and cocoa. Brawn Versus Brawn At the helm of the Modernaire rocket ship, piloting and planning for the success of all of these class undertakings, were the Committee Chairmen. Justin Bloom, Social Committee Chairman; Edith Kadison, Caps and Gowns; Jim Hansen, Field Day; Janet Veitch, Break- fast; George Vane, Tradition Day; Jerome Fox, Senior Play; Pearl Beyer, Senior Prom; and Albert Lizer, Announcements; all performed their duties admirably, charting an even course, and arriving victoriously at their des- tination.

Other official braves were Perry Baker, boys ' assistant chief; Gloria Vidmar, girls ' assistant chief; Martha Manson, chief scribe, and Marjorie Welch as chief collector of wampum. Acting in the capacity of mediator, general counselor, and chief medicine man, Mr. Heath, served as class sponsor. After much discussion and debating, for it was not until the third sweater meeting that a final decision was reached, the Comanches chose light blue sweaters. To augment these sweaters, an emblem of an Indian motif, bringing out the col- ors red, white, and powder blue was selected. The emblem, designed by Dick Bates, was composed of a red and white In- dian headdress resting on a blue and white drum, superim- posed on a blue and white circle bearing the numerals S ' 41. Gloria Vidmar, Girls ' Vice President; Perry Baker, Boys ' Vice President; Martha Manson. Secretary: Marjorie Welch. Treasurer. W.-Jt. i :u Since Indians have an established reputation for a warlike spirit, the Comanche braves walked off with a victory over the Modernaires in the semi-annual Senior Brawl, putting one more feather in the Senior Bee cap. Mixing business and pleasure, the Comanches embarked upon many new social activities never at- tempted by other senior classes. They staged a Senior Bee Collegiate Hop at which rug cutters took on a belligerant attitude and it turned into a heap fine war-dance. Another fun-fest at which the In- dians put their tepees on wheels was the Senior Aye skating party. After much preparation a caravan of widely painted savages journeyed to Griffith Park to satisfy appetites and have a whooping good time at the Comanche Picnic. Still holding close to an Indian motif, the braves at their Prom danced inside a gigantic teepee constructed in the campus gymnasium. 38 CHE O On Tradition Day, the Comanches relinquished Senior Court and all the privileges associated with it, to the Cauchos, the incoming Senior class. A fitting climax to such formalities was a delightful breakfast served in the cafeteria. During the course of the meal, the prophecy written by Virginia Griffin and Merle Olhau- sen, predicting what the Comanche squaws and braves might be doing after leaving the Dorsey reservation, was read. In choosing a practical gift and one that would enhance Senior Court, the Summer ' 41 class presented an ultra modern bulletin board. From this source it is hoped that future Senior Ayes will glean all pertinent announcements concerning senior activities. William Heath Comanches on Rollers Wahoo! After graduation, the Comanches pulled up stakes, taking with them memories, knowl- edge and a full appreciation of Dorsey.

They began to learn the facts and figures behind a yearbook. They began to wonder how they would ever be able to put out a book, since the administration had decided that there would have to be a guarantee of at least fifteen hundred books before the contracts could be signed. Through that week, the glummest people on the campus were the staff members. It looked as though there would be no annual until the last two days of the drive when the sale went over the top. With renewed vigor, the staff began to plan in earnest. The theme was decided and the book was planned along a departmental motif. In back of all this planning and activity was Miss Turner, publications adviser. Along with the Dorseygram, Sportogram, Trial Flights, and the Don Song Book, not to mention the journalism, I, and the Travel class, she found time to advise the staff and help put out the best yearbook yet. Mary Turner. Publications Adviser 54 Richard W. Bates, Editor Dick Bates who from the start had evidenced a keen interest in the year book and its progress was elected editor. Dick was largely responsible for the layout and many of the original ideas in this book. He was enthusiastic about the whole new arrangement which grouped faculty, clubs, classes and activ- ities together just as they are found in everyday life at school, rather than isolating them in sep- arate sections. The larger head sizes in the sen- ior panels were due to his changing the propor- tions on the pictures and the novelty of the cal- endar section were part of his general scheme. No editor could have been more conscientious- ly on the job. He drew up the staff dummy and prepared the pica dummy for the printer. He supervised the cutting and mounting of pictures for the engraver. He prepared copy and read proof for the printer. Whether it was Saturday or long after dark, Dick was always there watch- ing over every step in the development of the book from the rough sketches on paper to the final page proofs. With the graduation of the Modernaires went Pearl Beyer. Pearl, as a member of last year ' s staff, knew the fundamentals of publication and was a great help to all. As a fitting tribute to Pearl, the staff unanimously elected her as asso- ciate editor. Her chief interest in the book was the Modernaires section. She made out the schedule for their senior portraits and sent sum- mons ' to them all. Pearl Beyer, Associate Editor 55 Eileen Hall Warren Rose Beverly Washburn Bob Doctor Dorothy Wilson Another veteran of last year ' s staff was Eileen Hall. Although she was not an actual staff member, through interest in the work she spent most of her afternoons working with the staff. This year she has been extremely useful in the secretarial and clerical work connected with the book, which includes compil- ing the lists of people, clubs, classes, group identifications, issu- ing of assessment sheets, and many other tedious and painstak- ing tasks. Working with her on this job, and helping with the layout was Warren Rose. If he was not out assassinating some poor unsus- pecting Venetian, he could be found in the Circle office wield- ing the trusty paper cutter as he was general cut-up and paste- up man. CIRCLE One of the most tedious staff jobs was the compiling of the senior lists preparatory to making out the picture schedule. Bev- erly Washburn handled this job very efficiently for the Com- anches. When Pearl left our ranks in January, her work was finished by Bob Doctor. This work entailed the checking and rechecking of the great number of senior portraits. To see that the faces in the panels and the names in the copy match is quite a job. He was ably assisted in this work by Dorothy Wilson. Dorothy was a new addition on the staff in February. Finding time to do both Dorseygram and Circle work, Dorothy was a great help in writing the captions for the informal senior group pictures S T A F F appearing on the pages with the senior portraits. This idea is one of the innovations in this book. Recording our great sports program at Dorsey was our sports staff, who are particularly proud of the trophy page, George Cadd was chiefly responsible for the selecting, cutting, and mounting of pictures for this section. His big problem was getting the pictures of the individual lettermen. This is diffi- cult, considering that some of the lettermen are not known until the weekend the book goes to press. As chief amazon on the girls ' sports section, Helen Savage tried to give the students some idea of the girls ' sports set-up. Her main idea was to outline the sports in which girls participate for letters and in Play Day competition. She helped with other staff duties such as arranging the exchange of annuals with other Western League schools. Bill Browne was the other half of the boys ' sports staff. The bulk of the sports copy was written by him and his thrilling ac- counts of the games took most of his time. Bill also scheduled and collected for most of the sports pictures. Much of the burden of this year ' s policy of identifying all groups fell on Lucille Bonde, whose work was with the home-room sec- tion. She executed this job with very few mishaps. This, along with the Senior sections, was probably the biggest headache in the book. However, she came through with the first complete pasted dummy of her section for the printer. Helen Supple, another addition to the staff in February, took over the faculty pictures and assessments. She also scheduled the Knights, Ladies, and Ephebians for pictures and identified this copy. In the last weeks she helped with copy and was ac- tive in the sale of names. George Cadd Helen Savage Biir Browne Lucille Bonde Helen Supple 57 Milton Winnick, Photo Editor PHOTO The truly fine photography in the Circle is entirely the work of Dorsey students and is under the very capable direction of Mr. Stone. As the most outstanding student in photography. Milton Winnick was appointed Photo Edi- tor. The great majority of the pictures in this edition of the Circle were taken by Milton. During the heaviest part of the job, he was assisted by Courtney Bennet, George Copeland, and Tommy Millana of this year ' s staff, and Zel Cohn of last year ' s staff. With the graduation of the Modernaires, many of the ex- perts on the technical end of the work were taken, such as Warren Cooper, jimmy Uragami, Stan Hillis, jim Partridge and Stanley Williams. Ebajane Thyden, alumni, was indispensable in doing the majority of the printing and filing. She was assisted in these jobs by Eula Framption and Stenetta Auble.

Sadie did many of the drawings in this year ' s book as well as in the 1940 annual. Artistic high point of the 1941 Circle is the fine portrait of Mrs. Dorsey done by Martin Mondrus, an AlO student. Martin went to Mrs. Dorsey ' s home where she posed for the three hours necessary for him to make his drawing. Under Mrs. Phillips ' able direction, several students from the art department contributed ideas and drawings. In keeping with this year ' s theme, the drawings were illustra- tive rather than abstract. Drawings used in the annual were submitted by: Sadie Weems, Phyllis Mathews, Perle Tobin, Ed Armond, Marion Ross, Bertha Del Castillo, Jean De Lacy, and Boncella Kravits.

Sadie Weems, Art Editor 59 DODJeYODPm m Playing a prominent role in the life and opinions of the student body, is Dorsey ' s own newspaper, the Dorseygram. About this news organ revolve all student activity, current comments and expressions of favor or constructive criticism. A student activity itself, the Dorseygram had many budding journalists and promising writers on its staff. In their coverage of the Dorsey Community, they had no more demoralizing competition than the daily bulletin. Through the experienced and encouraging guidance of Don Yockey, the W ' 41 Dorseygram began its successful climb from a journalistic embryo to a professional publication. The conscientiousness and reliability which augmented Don ' s mastery of journalism, was a mainstay to his staff and a factor which influenced greatly the supremacy of the paper. Assisting Don by editing page one of the paper was Margaret Sample. Peggy could always be de- pended upon to plan a diversified and well-rounded news layout for her page. Associate Editor Byron Nestor was a promising writer and a capable editor. His perseverance, in- telligence and foresight established page three as a central interest in the paper. Recognized for her literary accomplishments, Florence Smith also proved an invaluable aid to the Dorseygram while she was Feature Editor. The agility with which Florence could dash off a clever poem or feature was a tremendous asset to page two and helped to raise that page high in the stu- dent body ' s estimation. Boosting the sports page to a new peak in perfection was Jerome Fox, who worked conscientiously to- ward this end. Under his management and guidance, sports reviews and forecasts were concise, ac- curate and newsy, and page four boasted several scoops during the season. M irgarct Sample. Associate Editor: Byron Nestor, Associate Editor; Florence Smith, Feature Editor; |ercme Fox, Sports Editor Don Yockey. W ' 4I E ditor Lee Butman, S ' 41 Editor Forging ahead as a livelier and more popular publication the S ' 41 Dorseygram achieved an optimum in staff organization and reader interest. For the first time in the history of Dorsey, a girl was chosen Editor-in-chief of the S ' 41 Dorseygram. Lee Butman proved herself to be very outstanding, capable and efficient as editor. Plus her journal- istic knowledge and executive ability, Lee showed marked initiative in displaying new and original ideas for the paper and raising the standard of the Dorseygram. She supervised page make-up, copy and proof reading, besides writing her column Lee Ways which had its clever debit and credit feature. Contributing to the general excellence of page one was Kathleen McCunniff. The results of her earn- est and conscientious efforts to produce a superior page were evidenced by a realization of this de- sire. She skillfully supervised both her reporters and the technical side of her department as Associ- ate Editor of the Dorseygram. Working up from a lowly cub, then to a reporter covering a regular beat , and finally achieving the position of Associate Editor is the record Gloria Hofer has maintained during her journalistic career at Dorsey. Her untiring enthusiasm has brought satisfying results and admiration for page three. Versatile and energetic are the definitions fittingly used to describe Dorothy Wilson, feature editor. Throughout her editorship, Dorothy has successfully endeavored to bring the feature page up to a level equal, if not superior, to any high school editorial page. Under the leadership of Howell Tatum, former sports writer and this semester ' s Sports Editor, ath- letic activities received complete coverage in the Dorseygram. Scoops, pictures and banner headlines were part of Howell ' s new sports policy. Kathleen McCunniff, Gloria Hofer, Associate Editors; Dorothy Wilson, Feature Editor; Howell Tatum, Sports Editor Maintaining the technical side of the paper were Elma Amamoto, who lent her quiet responsibility to the task of keeping the morgue and the financial status of the ' 41 Dorseygram up to date; Julius Slater, who edited Sports News Release and filed all sports no- tices; and Gladys Etcove, Exchange Editor. Included on the reportorial staff for the W ' 41 Dor- seygram were Edith Kadison, author of Sportanalities, Stenetta Auble, Editor of the Senior Insert Modern- aire, and Jack Libby from the sports staff. Reporting and news coverage were also the daily beats of Frank McCollom, author of Boys ' Sportanalities, Priscilla Cameron, who covered the music department, and Doris Creenthal, dramatic reporter. Art Editors and cartoonists Don Bender, Cliff Myers and Warren Cooper share the artistic laurels for the winter issues of the paper. However, this semester, cartoons for the feature page were largely the work of Phyllis Mathews. While the quantity of columnists decreased during the past year, the quality increased, as witnessed by Martha Manson ' s cleverly composed Blue Book, a reg- ular feature which exhibited a sprightly new style; the witty chatter In the Corner of the Circle between Phyllis Berinbaum and Margery Murray; Edgar Cook ' s off-campus events column. Cook ' s Tours, the first of its kind in the Dorseygram, and the editor ' s Lee-Ways, where curt comments on topical issues were ex- pressed.

All athletic competition was given authentic and com- plete coverage by Tom Higgins, Al Ulioa, and the C.A.A. columnist, Betty McMullan. Filling out the reportorial picture were Hal Weiner, who assisted on page one, Eileen Hall, who will be re- membered for her conscientious work on every assign- ment, and Virginia Sanders, who wrote Club Memos and collaborated with Priscilla Cameron on the Senior Class History.

NEWS RELEASE Press notices of all Dorsey activities are sent to the community newspapers once a week by these ad- vanced journalism students. This semester these students, who are regular Dorseygram reporters, met for the first time as a separate News Release staff. This assured better press releases on Dorsey activ- ities. Norma Laver and Phyllis Muro supervised the work this year. A scrapbook is kept of all publi- city received, and staff members vie for the greatest number of inches of published material.

Kenneth Fredrick edited the Sportogram during the fall semester while Byron Weinstein, assisted by Bill Golde, was responsible for its publication during the spring. TRIAL FLIGHTS As the literary contribution to the Creative Arts Week, the third volume of Trial Flights, distinctive book of student verse and prose, made its appearance on the campus early in May. From the Dorseygram staff, the creative writing class and the Adelphians, a student editorial board was selected to read and judge the copy. The faculty board composed of Mrs. Garrison, Miss Bartlett, Mrs. Thomas and Miss Turner was responsible for the final selection of material. The format and editing of the book is under the direction of Miss Turner while Mr. McNay and the Graphic Arts Club are responsible for its printing and binding. The stunning cover design was handled by Mrs. Phillips of the art department. The Adelphians took charge of sales. EDITORIAL BOARD — Leah Butman, Dorothy Wilson, Dale Millman, Billie Steward.

It helps materials and to furnish all students enrolled at Dorsey are academic serves as the hub around which all academic to enrich these courses through its reference the books and surroundings in which to encour- age a real enjoyment of reading. Miss Mackie, librarian, is always cheerfully ready to help the student with his re- search problems as well as to give advice on the selection of reading material. The library ' s four thousand and fifty non-fiction books provide an opportunity for research. Further details of a problem can be worked out by means of reference to the twenty-five hundred pamphlets now on file, while subscriptions to nine- ty-seven current magazines assure the latest reports on world affairs, politics, science, music, and art. Travel, drama, biography and adventure books in the non-fiction group provide recreational reading. The library also offers six-hundred and fifty fiction books which consist of the best in modern lit- erature and most of the well-known classics. The student b ody is served in three ways by the library. Classes as groups may spend a period in the library searching for and reading material, or sets of books and magazines may be sent to class- rooms, or the individual student can ob- tain reading matter for home use. All except reference books and current mag- azines may be checked out for varying periods of time up to one week. Miss Mackie is in charge of Library Science, a course in which students can learn about the operation of the library and thus make better use of it.

ENGLISH SOCIAL STUDIES [■ .it. r i Mildred Thomas The fact that every student is required to take two years of English is only one of the reasons why the English-Social Studies department is the largest and busiest in the whole school. Some twenty- seven teachers give all or part of their time to instructing in this department. They are ably super- vised by Mrs. Thomas, chairman. Tenth grade students are required to take English Orientation their first semester and A 10 English during their second semester. All eleventh graders take a double period American Life and Institutions class. In addition to the required work, the department offers a great variety of both English and so- cial studies electives to senior students. In a large measure, the whole orientation and guidance program centers in this department. As near- ly as possible, students keep the same teacher for an entire year. This assures better knowledge and understanding of that pupil and his problems, hence more satisfactory adjustments and more ade- quate solutions can be found. The initial work in this department orients the student to the school, helps him to solve his adjust- ment problems and develops his vocational interests. Advanced work, through a study of history and literature, stresses an understanding and an apprecia- tion of the world we are in and its present and past cultural, social, political and economic problems. The Adelphians, a literary group sponsored by Miss Bartlett, is the only club in this department. It is open to any students genuinely interested in the field of writing. As a service to the school, for the past two years it has taken over the sale of Trial Flights, and has handled it very successfully. The highlight of its social activities this year was the Pen and Inkers banquet, to which staff members from the Dorseygram and the Circle, journalism students, creative writing students, and contributors to Trial Flights were invited. Jack Lescoulie was guest of honor.

Orientation English Orientation primarily attempts to develop and improve the personal- ity of each student while introducing him to high school, and helping him meet the problems these new experiences present. The student learns his way about the school: he learns about the courses and classes offered; he becomes acquainted with the library and learns to use it to his advantage; he meets the Principal and Vice-Principals, the Counselor and heads of the departments. He learns about Student Body administra- tion, the service organizations and the qualifications necessary for the duties of student body officers. He becomes acquainted with the various clubs by means of talks given by club presidents and is urged to join a club or enter into an activity which satisfies his interests. In this way, he begins to de- velop a genuine interest in his new school. Reading ability is tested and remedial work given if necessary. Diagnostic testing is done to determine what help is needed to give each student a satis- factory command of the fundamentals and the communication skills of writ- ing and speaking. He is also given vocational guidance and assistance in planning his course and his classes for his three years in high school. Miss Embree and Mrs. Wyatt do this work exclusively while Miss Bartlett, Miss Eaton, Mr. Holliday, Miss Hollingsworth, and Mr. Reinhardt have one or more class periods of orientation. Corene Embree Dorothy Wyatt Ruth Bartlett Newton Holliday Beautification in Progress BIO Mothers ' Tea American Life To make them better citizens by teaching them how their government grew, how it works, and how it affects their daily lives, is the purpose of the eleventh grade American Life and Institutions courses. The American scene, past and present, with its cultural, social, geographic, economic and political aspects is stressed. The Constitution and its background are studied. Knowledge of the various departments and branches of the federal government is gained. Then state government with the particular emphasis on California is taken up. The state constitution, courts and offices are discussed. Finally, local govern- ment of county and city comes into view. Students learn of the various types of city and county systems and city planning is studied. An appreciation of American culture is stressed through the study of American literature, music, and art. The development of music in the United States is studied by means of phonograph records, and a full- er appreciation of the American artist is realized as the student learns more of famous works of American art. By means of reading the literature of the country, American history is re-emphasized through fiction, biography, essays and poetry. Some of the teachers in this field are Miss Cabell. Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Clemenson, Miss Harrison, Mr. Kidder, Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Weiss.

Advanced Composition taught by Miss Gill and Miss Peckham. provides an excellent background, as does Senior English under Miss Nutting for non-academic students. Mr. Kirkwood ' s Pub- lic Speaking classes give the students self-confidence and experience in fac- ing an audience. Mrs. Garrison is an inspiration to her Creative Writing class in which she develops future poets and writers. In her World Literature class novels, poetry, epics and drama from the world over are read. In Modern Literature the work of contemporary authors is stressed. Learning to read a newspaper more intelligently and getting practical experience as cubs and regular reporters, appeals to those students whose journalistic interests lead them to elect Journalism and staff work on the Dorseygram. Other journal- istically minded students working under Miss Turner enjoy assembling the history of the school year, so they elect Annual staff. For those seniors whose interest is on the dramatic side, Proudction under Mrs. Moore, offers prac- tical stage experience. In Senior Problems classes, students enjoy talking o ver social arts, consumer education, family relations and vocations. These classes are handled by Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Quist, Mr. Addison and Mr. Heath. The politically minded sen- iors choose International Relations, which is taught by Mrs. Weiss, and study problems relating to diplomacy, trade, and differences in governments. Stu- dents with gypsy blood in their veins take Travel and learn the practical side of globe trotting. Student body officers and other school leaders take up the problems of im- proving school government under the direction of Mrs. Russel in the Leader- ship class.

Senior Problems ' Tea MATHEMATICS Walter Larsh Claiming twenty-two per cent of the academic students as majors, the Mathematics Department off- ers courses in algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry to students preparing for college work. A shop math class is offered for industrial majors. The department of six teachers is headed by Mr. Larsh. Mrs Thorson has the distinction of being the only woman teacher in the group. The other four instructors are Mr. Alley, Mr. Fox, Mr. Scherf, and Mr. Vincent, A year of both algebra and geometry is required for all academic students. The advanced courses in algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry are for math and science majors, and prepare the students for college math. Trigonometry is one of the most practical of the courses offered. It is necessary for boys planning to go into navigation, aeronautics, engineering, or physics. This department has one club, the Slide Rule, which is sponsored by Mr. Larsh. The purpose of the club is to teach the math and science majors how to use the slide rule.

Outstanding accomplishments which augmented the Science Department ' s activities this year were the build- ing of a 7 inch telescope, and a miniature paper plant, comparable in every detail to a commercial outfit. Paul Kangieser and Bruce Van Vranken built the tele- scope as a physics project in six months, with Paul polishing the mirror, and Bruce doing the actual con- struction work. The miniature paper plant was constructed by Richard Leeland, a chemistry student, and is titled Spruce Trees to Writing Paper. The model explains the complete process of changing wood into paper. SCIENCE George Ziegenfuss For the future engineers, chemists, doctors, den- tists, physicists, and technicians of Dorsey, the Science Department offers courses in chemistry, life science, physiology, physics, and physical science. This well equipped department is ably headed by Mr. Ziegenfuss who handles most of the physics classes. Two types of chemistry classes are offered: those for engineering students, and those for general college preparatory students. These are taught by Mrs. Bobbitt, and Mr. Everote. Along this line also is the course in Physical Science in- structed by Mr. Boynton. Aside from the physical sciences, the depart- ment offers physiology and life science. The phy- siology teachers are Mrs. Cermann, and Mr. Wall, who is also the sponsor of the Science Club. Instructing in the life science or biology classes are Miss Kraeft, Miss Jackson, and Mrs. Nelson. The Science Club, which is composed of students majoring in science, is one of the most active in the school. Adding to Dorsey ' s rapidly accumulating honors, the chemistry team, composed of six science majors, placed seventh in a contest in which 64 schools participated.

First, it aims to teach the ability to read, write, and speak a foreign tongue; and second, it tries to give the student an appreciation of those countries and their peoples where that par- ticular language was or is spoken. The department, headed by Miss Newby who is so ably assisted by eight fine linguists, offers four years of French, Spanish and Latin. In the field of Spanish are Miss Newby, Mrs. Eckstein, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Linder, The French classes are guided by Miss Eaton and Mr. Engberg while Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Neher handle the Latin groups. In the Latin classes, a dead language comes to life as students find that Romans were as human and as modern, in many ways, as we are today. French students learn much French history in their lan- guage class while students of Spanish gain a better understanding of our neighbors to the south as they learn of the culture of Spain and of the Spanish speaking nations. Language students gain this appreciation of the various International Day Banquet Cultures by listening to records, reading literature, writ- ing plays, singing, and imitating customs and costumes of the various countries. Atmosphere is created in the classroom by means of maps, flags, and projects of vari- If ■ ' -- — .III ' _. .--..i.-i - ■ _- ' : ous types.

Another factor which creates so much enthusiasm and interest in this department is the active club program. La Petite Academic Francaise, or the French Club, under the direction of Mr. Engberg, is known for its social activities. Business meetings of the club are carried on in French, thus giving the members excellent practice in direct use of the language. The club donated a picture to the school this semes- ter. Generally known as the Spanish Club, El Circulo Espanol has as its purpose an expanding of interest in the culture of Spanish speaking countries. Club members enjoy singing in Spanish and new mem- bers go through their pledge period wearing sombreros and serapes. Heading this colorful organiza- tion is Mrs. Ford. The Renovantes Rerum Romanorum, otherwise known as the Latin Club, which is sponsored by Mrs. Neher, is well known for its semi-annual slave auction at which the new members are sold to the old for a term of one week. With the returns from one of these auctions, the club presented a band uni- form to the school. Giving the language clubs the feeling of unity an International Banquet was held for the third time this year. This success- ful event was given excellent support by all three of the clubs with one hundred sixty-four attending.

' ;; =i., - - Perle tobin Edna )ones ART William Heath Verna Phillips Henrietta Bulpitt Roy Stone The art department sees in each student a prospective buyer who should be able to rec- ognize good design and proper use of color in his personal surroundings. Therefore, it at- tempts to enable students enrolled in art courses to be appreciative of the principles which govern all art. In addition, the study of art makes for an enriched leisure through the creative expression of painting, modeling, and crafts. Miss Jones ably heads this depart- ment. Art Appreciation is an aesthetics course in which standards are set up and the critical appreciation developed. It gives the student an understanding of the accomplishments of the human race in the arts. Beginning design and art classes lay the foun- dation for the more advanced work. Costume Design is one of the advanced design classes in which students design contemporary cos- tumes. In the Life Drawing class students gain practice in observation and in drawing the human figure. The Dorsey Daubers, a club for those interest- ed in the arts, is sponsored this semester by Daubers I DAUBERS Row 1 — Lillian Ramftle, Barbara Spaulding, Ronyl McEathron, Ruth Leigh, Bertha del Castillo, Ver- non Bickford, Virginia Haiman, Claudine Dennis, Can Coor-Pender, Emma Hernhunter.

Opening a vast field of creative expression, the Craft class teaches the student to design and make practical things. Wood, leather, cork, metals and fabrics are just a few of the materials used in this class. Mrs. Phillips teaches this course. Through the medium of photography, students are given the opportunity to express themselves cre- atively and artistically. With this in mind, the photography course at Dorsey is organized so that fundamentals are easily learned and actual pic- ture taking and laboratory work takes up much of the time. Mr. Stone, who ably heads this work, and his ad- vanced photography students work long and tedi- ous hours taking, developing and printing pictures of the full calendar of school activities. Stimulating the cultural and creative activities of the school is the chief responsibility of the Com- missioner of Fine Arts. Tony Pappas served as Commissioner of Fine Arts for the winter term and Kathleen McCunniff held this office during this summer semester. COMMISSIONERS OF FINE ARTS — Tony Pappas, Kathleen McCunniff.

To those students who will use displays in their future business or who will major in poster and dis- play work, Commercial Art is a necessity. Here, as in other advanced art work, the elements of de- sign and color harmony are in daily use. Advertising layout and lettering are the beginning techniques while the use of the air brush and tempora colors is also presented. Posters for school uses are de- signed and executed in this class which Mr. Heath instructs. The art of the stage in scenery and make-up is the subject of study in the Stage Art class. Stage hands design and build model sets for plays and participate in the assemblies by making scenery and taking charge of the stage and equipment. Actors and actresses in school productions are made-up by the stage art students, thus giving them practical experience in the art of stage make-up. The com- plicated art of lighting placement and operation is another practical experience gained. The Stage Crew sets the stage and works behind the scenes at all school plays, musicals, and assemblies. All of these students are under the splendid direction of Mrs. Bulpitt.

MUSIC Ruth Bonge Edgar Hansen Lucy Medz Lauren Rhoades The principal aim of the Music Department is that each student should have a vital musical experi- ence which will not only give him enjoyment now but throughout his life. This purpose is carried out under the excellent leadership of Mrs. Bonge and the very capable assistance of Mr. Hansen, Miss Medz. and Mr. Rhoades. Every student, at some time during his high school career, comes in contact with this department. It may be because of a one semester requirement, affiliation with one of the musical organizations, or because music is his chosen major. To meet these needs, instruction is given in music appreciation, harmony, theory, piano, voice, instrument. Orchestra, Band, Choir, Boys ' Glee Club and Girls ' Glee Club. In addition, the department sponsors a Music Listening Hour during lunch period every other week which is open to everyone in the student body. This gives everyone who is really interested in music a chance to request and hear his favorite pieces played. The Music Club helps to create a greater interest in fine music. Membership is open to all students regardless of wheth- er or not they are able to sing or play. Records are played at the meetings and many interesting points are brought out during the discussion which follows. For those who play instruments, it is especi- ally interesting as they can pick out the different themes running through the music played by their own instruments. Occasionally helpful quiz programs are conducted. This club runs very smooth- ly with Mr. Hansen as sponsor.

ORCHESTRA Dorsey ' s Orchestra has achieved a name for itself under the capable direction of Mr. Rhoades. Forty- three students with the ability to play a musical instrument, belong to this organization. The orchestra appears at many of the aud calls and at the majority of the plays. The annual operetta is one of its biggest undertakings and many hours of work are spent in preparing the music for it. A small group of string instrumentalists picked from the large orchestra comprise what is known as the String Ensemble. Every semester, many events take place which call for a small musical ensem- ble, and this organization furnishes light music for such occasions.

The Angeles Mesa Kiwanis Club has presented two Extravaganzas to outfit them. From the first effort, thirty uniforms were obtained and the other fifteen boys wore white suits of their own. Now, the whole band is completely outfitted. During football season they practice drill- ing for an hour and a half each morning. The first public appearance of the band was at the P.T.A. Milk Fund Football Carnival with the massed high school bands playing in the Coliseum last November. The band ' s outstanding leader, Mr. Rhoades, was selected as one of the three men to conduct the massed bands. The Don band was further honored by being one of the high school bands in the city chosen to play a Promenade Concert for the convention of the National Federation of Music Clubs at one of their meet- ings held at the Ambassador Hotel this June.

The Boys ' Glee Club is another organization that helps the music department further its work of in- creasing a knowledge of music among the students. A smaller group is selected from the large organization and is known as the Boys ' Ensemble. This group meets outside school hours and appears on programs when a smaller singing group is needed. Both these groups are under the leadership of Mr. Hansen. The Girls ' Glee Club under the fine direction of Mrs. Bonge has done much to promote music in our school as well as outside the school. Technicolor motion pictures have been taken of the Dorsey Girls ' Glee Club. These, together with their recordings, will be taken by Mr, Louis Curtis, supervisor of music in Los Angeles, on his trip to South America and used in conjunction with his lectures there. The Girls ' Ensemble, or the Harmonettes, sang for Mrs. Dorsey ' s birthday and at several outside af- fairs. 84 Flower of Venezia The Flower of Venezia, Dorsey ' s second operetta, proved to be the most spectacular of all productions ever presented at Dorsey. This operetta was both written and directed by Mr. Hansen, and had been produced by him many times before with great suc- cess. The delightful and amusing plot centered around a young girl who disapproved of her father ' s choice of husband for her. It all ended very happily with several minor romances developing. The cast, which included more than one hundred characters, was headed by Dorothy Crown, Marvin Harrison, Bob Winquist, Betty Lou Murray, Don Benesch and other members of the Glee Clubs. The costumes of old Venice were appropriately set off by two very beautiful and elaborate stage sets designed and executed in Mrs. Bulpitt ' s stage art class. Mrs. Bonge and Mr. Rhoades rendered valu- able service in coaching the glee clubs and orches- tra. Mrs. Bates coached the dancers.

The newest group for vocalists in the music department is the choir which is under the splendid di- rection of Mrs. Bonge. It fulfills the one semester music requirement, while giving students who have ability to sing a chance to vo calize. Sixty-five boys and girls participate in the choir and work on many different types of music which lend variety to the programs they appear in and increases the interest of the group. The Choir is very similar to the Glee Clubs in its organization. Tryouts are held, and those who have talent are accepted. Music for school dances is generally supplied by the Aristocrats of Rhythm. Organized by the students, the swing band makes an excellent showing when called upon to perform for school affairs and out- side dances. Each semester tryouts are held and those who show the most talent are selected. Even the direction is in the hands of the students. Al Reichel was the leader for W ' 41 , while Bob Wrigh- ton, a post graduate, took the honor in 5 ' 41. The annual Harmony Hop that is sponsored by the Music Department is one of the many dances the Aristocrats of Rhythm play for. The minimum charge made for their services helps to pay for the new music needed to keep up with the times. Miss Medz serves as their faculty adviser and sponsor for the group.

DRAMATICS Annice Moore Dramatics offer an opportunity to gain poise and self-confidence through appearing before the public in dramatic productions. The Drama I classes present the fundamentals of dramatics such as learning to breathe, and to speak, and to stand correctly. In the classes, the students interpret one-act plays and sometimes present them to the school during noon periods. The Drama II classes continue with more advanced work in voice, speech, and pantomime. Since the fundamentals have been mastered, considerable time is spent working on plays, and programs are pre- sented in the Little Theatre consisting of readings and scenes from various productions. One-act plays are also given in the auditorium. An intensive study of Shakespeare is made for the Annual Shakespearean Festival which takes place in the spring. In open competition, four entrants are selected to represent Dorsey at Occidental Col- lege where they vie for honors with representatives from other Los Angeles High Schools. The Festival is divided into four sections, namely, the boys ' comedy, boys ' tragedy, girls ' comedy, and girls ' trag- edy. Only one student from a school may enter each division. This year, Dorsey took first place in the boys ' comedy and tragedy section and second place in girls ' comedy. An attend ance award is given for the largest number of representatives from any school at the Ann Hathaway luncheon. For the past three years, Dorsey has taken this award and was allowed to keep it permanently. After a student has completed work in Drama I and II classes he is then ready to enter the more ad- vanced work of the Production Class which forms the nucleus of the Dorsey Community Players who devote most of their time to producing the major plays of the season. Those who do not participate in the play itself, either prompt, student direct, or do some other phase of work connected with the production. Mrs. Moore, who heads the drama work, is the motivating force behind the cur- tain and without her supervision neither the play nor the players could succeed.

Crawling snakes and exploding firecrackers is enough to make any society woman like Mrs. Kirby faint. Miss Sycamore, I love you, I love you, I love you. What could be more emphatic? Dis is de way we do eet in Russia. Oops, Excuse me. Deed I hurt you? You Can ' t Take It With You As the first major production of this season, the Dorsey Community Players presented two successful perform- ances of the Motion Picture Academy Award winner You Can ' t Take It With You. The hilarious comedy had a definite keynote and climax. The underlying theme was, Does a Person Have the Right to Do What He Wants and When He Wants to Do It? or What Is His Debt to Society? It presented the problem of individual personality versus civic responsibility. Those who participated in this production were: Penelope Sycamore Evelyn V amble Essie Pattie Kindelberger Grace Hayes Rheba Evelyn Ellis Paul Sycamore Al Lizer Mr. de Poppin Kenneth Voorhees Ed Rod Throop Donald Bob Winquist Bruce Satterlee Martin Vanderhof Tony Pappas Alice Betty Booker Mildred Zimmerman Boris Kolenkov )ack S.

Stage Door The Broadway success of Stage Door was repeated at Dorsey and accepted with overwhelming enthusiasm. So well was it received by the community that an additional evening performance was presented. The play, which was the longest ever given at Dorsey, centers around a young actress and other girls living in the same theatrical boarding house and their struggle to attain su:ce3S in the theater. The cast was as follows; Oiga Brandt Lucille Bonde Mattle Gloria Vidmar Mary Harper Evelyn Hauschild Mary McCune Delores Allen Bernice Niemeyer Patty Kindleberger Madeleine Vauclain Kathleen McCunniff Judith Canfield Mildred Zimmerman Ann Braddock Shirley Ann Wallace Kaye Hamilton Bonita Richardson Helen Supple Linda Shaw Muriel Maltzman jean Maitland Grace Hayes Bobby Melrose Marilyn Braun Louise Mitchell Betty Lou Murray Susan Paige Marsha Siralnick Pat Devine Lillian Dolkart Florence Mozer Kendall Adams Beverly Washburn Terry Randall Betty Booker Mrs. Orcutt Evelyn Wamble Mildred Singer Frank Bob Palmer Sam Hastings Bill Scott Jimmy Devereaux Anthony Ramuglia Fred Powell Marvin Harrison Lou Milhauser Tom Higgins David Kingsley Bob Doctor Keith Burgess Bill Foxe Jack S. Root Mrs. Shaw Shirley Inlow Dr. Randall Richard Dusbabeck Larry Westcott Douglas Cowan Billy Max Maltzman Adolph Cretzl Bill Guzzardo Ellen Fenwick Lillian Dolkart Florence Mozer Tony Gillette Shirlee Golden Look out girls! Maftie is after you for lolling around. Headed for success and stardom, these girls make their way up the ladder of fame. This is the door to success, through which many an actress has passed. The art of makeup is one of the important factors in productions. Fred Sassoni has capably handled it at Dorsey. Shakespearean Contest Winners This year Dorsey was exceptionally successful in having two first and one second place winners at the annual Shakespearean Festival held at Occidental College. Stan- ley Kissel placed first in the boys ' tragedy section with his excellent rendition from King Richard II. Lucille Bonde, who gave the proposal scene from King Henry V, took a close second in the girls ' comedy section. Honorable mention was given to Shirley Wallace for her portrayal of King Lear. First place honors in the boys ' comedy section were taken by jack S. Root, who por- trayed Petruchio from The Taming of the Shrew. Five for Bad Luck Introducing a new type presentation was the first noon play given at Dorsey entitled Five for Bad Luck. This production was a rollicking one-act comedy which cen- tered about a small town girl who enters a popular uni- versity and surprised her friends by turning glamour girl over night. Heading the cast was Beverly Washburn who portrayed the small town girl. Supporting her were Mar- vin Harrison, her admirer, Arthur Fisher, June Warren, John Clayton, Mary Lou Lyon, Robert Palmer, and Carol Coor Pender. Pot Boiler The class of Winter ' 41 decided upon two one-act plays, to be presented as their senior contribution to the field of dramatics. Attempting to be different, the Mod- ernaires chose an old-fashioned melodrama entitled The Pot Boiler, along with a fast moving mystery thriller, The Ghost of Terry Morgan. Both were extremely successful and the money received from the tickets was added to the fund which bought the senior gift for the school. Those who participated in the Pot Boiler were Harry Michelson, Seymour Rodheim, Edthye Morris, Al Lizer, Betty Weidemann, Bill Allen, Jerome Fox, and Lester Lackie. r s ■ dTlRiMo id HOME ARTS Irene Quist Catering primarily to the feminine members of the student body, the Home Economics Department offers a variety of subjects intended to help the girls prepare for a successful home life. Heading this department of four teachers is Mrs. Quist, who in addition to Mrs. Baker, teaches the clothing subjects. In beginning clothing, the girls are taught how to select patterns and buy mate- rials, while the advanced classes assemble complete wardrobes, making everything from sport clothes to formals and tailored suits. Twice a year, in fashion shows, the girl model the clothes they have made. The experts in the culinary arts are Mrs. Holland and Miss Harrison. This phase of the home econom- ics work teaches the students how to prepare various foods, how to plan simple menus, and how to serve in the most attractive manner. There are two boys ' food classes in which the boys have an op- Blanche Baker Lucy Holland Louise Harrison Modern Girls MODERN GIRLS — Row 1 — June Warren, Dorothy Schiefer, Bettye Capewell, Audrey Murfin, Row 2 — Muriel Warren, Mary Nitti, Bessie Ozeki, Betty Lou Rowe, Betty Keefe, Margaret Nathan, Gloria Whilt.

During the holiday season they give buffet luncheons featuring roast turkey, to which friends and teachers are invited. Besides the regular cooking and sewing classes, this de- partment offers numerous electives. One which was started this term is the Social Arts class. In this, the girls learn correct table manners, how to plan parties, set tables, and act as hostesses. Another elective offered is Dietetics. How to plan diets, facts about calories and vitamins, and all about foods in general are taught. In the Home Management class girls learn how to plan bud- gets, buy foods, and beautify their homes. The girls electing Handcraft may knit, weave, or do other hand- work. An outstanding feature of this department is its collec- tion of cups and saucers which now numbers over sixty. Many of the foreign models have now been discontinued because of the war, thus increasing the value of the col- lection. This china is sometimes used in serving at spe- cial teas. In addition to the regular classes, the department offers extra-curricular activities in its two clubs. One is the Modern Girls ' Club, under the direction of Mrs. Baker and Miss Harrison, which is a group of girls who com- bine their social activities with welfare work. They are to be commended for the fine work they have done in connection with the Red Cross. The Hostess Club, sponsored by Mrs. Holland,- was organized for the pur- pose of serving at luncheons, teas, and banquets held at the school. Their services are appreciated so much that the faculty waits table for them at their semi-annual banquet, which is one of the jolliest and most successful social affairs of the year. Neither of these clubs is re- stricted to home economics majors. Any girls interested in this type of work and in doing service for the school may become members. It is compulsory for every girl to take either a foods or a clothing subject. Many elect to spend more time than required in this field because they find these subjects so interesting and advantageous. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Ceorge Andrews Although Dorsey is not primarily an industrial school, its Industrial Arts Department is a very impor- tant one. Its primary purpose is to stimulate interest in manual work as an avocation or hobby. Mr. Andrev s heads the department. Under the direction of Mr. Jepson, boys of the drafting department learn to draw plans and blueprints of anything from a motor to a house. In the wood shop, under Mr. Van Daniker, students make every- thing from fine pieces of period furniture to paddle boards. Motors, carburetors, auto accessories, welding and metal art work of all kinds are done in the metal shop under Mr. Andrews. Operating Dorsey ' s own amateur radio station, W6QZL, is only one of the many activities carried on in the elec- tric and radio shop under the direction of Mr. Brockway. The Sound Club which is sponsored by Mr. Brockway handles the P. A. whether it is being used in the Tiud, at a circle program or on the field at an athletic contest. The Areo Cadets under Mr. jepson design and build model planes and hold flying meets.

The fact that the shop is equipped with only two presses, makes its splendid production record all the more creditable. Under Mr. McNay, the graphic arts students have not only printed all of Dorsey ' s publications including the Dorseygram, the Sportogram, Trial Flights, and the Don Song Book, but they also lay out and print the programs for the plays, operettas and aud calls as well as the bids, dance cards, and menus for social affairs. Publicity posters come out of the shop in addition to all of the official office forms. As a special service this year, the Graphic Arts Club sponsored by Mr. McNay made covers for the teachers ' notebooks, and on Howdy Day, in conjunction with the Dorseygram staff, gave complimentary copies of the Don Song Book to every student in Dorsey.

CO? 0VV RCrAI 9 TTTarlon Tfcss COMMERCIAL John Addison Having twenty-one per cent of Dorsey ' s students enrolled in its courses gives the Commercial Depart- ment the distinction of being the second largest department in the school. Under the competent su- pervision of Mr. Addison and his efficient staff of teachers, majors are offered in the stenographic, bookkeeping, sales, and clerical fields. As a means of bringing sales, stenographic, bookkeeping and clerical students together for social ac- tivities and meetings which will aid them in gaining a better understanding of the business world, is the Chamber of Commerce, a club open to commercial majors only. Sponsored by Miss Rolfe, this club also serves as an outlet for the expression and advancement of the business theories of the stu- dents. Miss McGuire, Mrs. Myers, Miss Rolfe, and Mrs. Scott work largely with the stenographic majors. All stenographic majors take four semesters of typing beginning with Typing I in the BIO. In the 1 1th and 12th years, the students attempt to master shorthand. To pass in Typing IV, a student must be able to type forty-five words a minute and to pass in Shorthand IV he must be able to take dicta- tion at the rate of 100 words per minute. In the All year, the stenographic students take their Short- hand II and Typing IV from the same teacher. This allows them to begin transcribing their short- hand notes in a typing class. In the B12, the stenographic majors take Business Correspondence, Of- fice Practice I, and Shorthand 11, all from the same teacher in three consecutive periods. This allows for considerable integration and correlation of these three subjects. In the All semester, the stenog- raphic major takes Shorthand IV and Office Practice 11 from the same teacher in two consecutive per- iods, thus allowing further integration.

The student begins in the 10th grade with Bookkeeping I and then takes Bookkeeping II, III, and IV which he finishes in the Al 1. In the 12th year, bookkeeping majors are given practice and experi- ence working on the books and doing other clerical work in the school business office. The clerical course majors are given a sample of each of the other three majors which gives one a good general background for business. All Commercial majors, wheth- er stenographic, bookkeeping, sales, or clerical, have a year of bookkeeping and typing in the 10th grade and a semester each of Business Correspondence and Busi- ness Law in the 1 2th grade. However, the business correspondence instruction given to the stenographic majors is different from that given to the other majors. Often elected by pupils other than by those in the commercial department is Business Law. This subject, taught by Mr. Walker, takes up questions relating to the business activities of the individual ' s everyday life. Such points as contracts, sales, negotiable instruments, agencies, labor relations, insurance, estates, and real estate properties are covered in this course, which is helpful to persons in any major. Sales Staff SALES PRACTICE — Row 1 — Gloria Heinold, Jean Gardner, Norma Heinold, Leonard Jani, Emmanual Kobak. Row 2 — Phyllis Muro, Margaret Haag, Sylvia Schnair, John Cain, Niel Sellers, Suzanne Stevens, Bill Flaugher. The sales major, directed by Miss Slykhous, deals with selling, advertis- ing, merchandising, and store manage- ment. Students from her classes or- ganize and conduct the sales drives held in the school, advertise school ac- tivities in the community, secure ad- vertising for the school paper, and act as salesmen in the Dugout. Special- ized training for the sales major begins in the Bl 1 term with the Sales I class. In the Al 1 year Sales II is taken, and in the 1 2th grade, the student takes one semester each of merchandising and advertising. Sales Practice, Busi- ness Correspondence, and Business Law are also taken in the 12th year. Office Practice is open to senior stu- dents only and gives an extensive back- ground for operating office machines and taking dictation, typing letters, mimeographing announcements, and sending out special bulletins. A great majority of the mimeographed and printed material for the National De- fense course was completed by this department. Girls from this class also gain much valuable experience by op- erating the switchboard in the main office. A different girl is on duty each period of the day. . k - -- f i - 3S : ■C orlon ltoss CLASSES WINTER ' 42 — First Row; Dawn Harwood, Alleen Friedman, Fay Schwartz, Leo Danielian, Beatrice Kennedy, Virginia Reed, Bernard Harris, Dorothy Jordan, Marty Hoover, Herman Leon, Ruth Schafter, Gloria Taylor, Ruth Stover.

Heading this impressive list is the Sportsmanship Trophy which was awarded for the first time in January, 1941. This trophy is awarded to the school displaying the cleanest athletics and best sports- manship on the part of the rooting sections during competitive sports. The yell leaders, student body presidents and boys ' vice-principals from the opposing schools act as judges and grade the stands on their conduct. Dorsey is proud to be the first Western League school to win this honor. Of the other eleven trophies, five were won in baseball, four in track and two in basketball. Four new trophies were added to this collection this year, two in baseball and two in track. Row 1 — Faculty Softball 1940; B Track 1939; B Track 1940; Duplicate of Western League Sportsmanship Award 1940. Row 2 — Varsity Baseball 1941; Helms Foundation Trophy 1940-1941; Varsity Basketball 1939. Bud Herbsman W ' 41 f Jim Taber S41 YELL KINGS Upon the shoulders of the yell leaders falls the big responsibility of pepping up the crowd, keeping the spirit and enthusiasm in the stands running high, and keeping the rooters right in there fighting every minute, no matter what the score. The splendid control of the Don yell leaders and the fine response of the student body to their lead- ership helped to bring the Sportsmanship Trophy to Dorsey. Because of his responsibilities, the head yell leader is given a place on the Executive Board after his election. Candidates for the office of yell leader must appear before a committee consisting of the vice-principal, the head coach, the yell leaders and selected members of the faculty. From the aspir- ants five are chosen to come before the Student Body. They are chosen on the basis of leadership, form and enthusiasm. This year a new system has been tried in the form of a yell leader school, held three times a week to give aspirants for the job a chance to learn fundamentals and practice with the regular yell leaders. WINTER ' 41 ASSISTANTS — Jim Taber and Bill Foxe SUMMER ' 41 ASSISTANTS— George Cadd and Bob Hanley VARSITY Cerard Burchard Owen Hansen Starting the season with one of the largest turnouts in the history of the school, Dorsey gridders took the field with one of the lightest teams the Western League had seen in many a season. Although the lightest team in the league, they earned the title of the scrappiest eleven. They opened with Poly and Washington, then entered into league competi- tion against Los Angeles, University, Fairfax, Venice and finished the season by polishing off Hamilton in La Cienega Stadium. Uncle Sam ' s call to the colors left Dorsey in a hole when two of the strongest men on the line, Lynn Gardiner, tackle, and Clancy Languein, guard, were called to active duty. The Donhi eleven finished the season fifth, placing Jim Hansen on the West- ern League squad and on the second string All-City team. Graduating lettermen are Gillies, end; Hansen, left half; Higgins, center; Nel- son, right half; Pappas, quarter; Pardi, end; Porter, center; Radofsky, guard; Schneider, quarter; and Schway, guard.

LOS ANGELES, 27 Beginning its third season of league competition, Dorsey was beaten by a score of 27 to 0.

With the tables seeming- ly turned, the Dorsey boys again triumphed, this time over the Fairfax eleven, 19-6. In the final encounter, the Don pigskin- ners, scrappier than ever, humbled the championship Venice aggregation 7-6 in the season ' s thriller. The quarterbacking and signal calling was done by Mike Maz- manian, and Toru Ishizawa. Line plunges and end sweeps marked the playing of fullback Charley Tajiri, and halfbacks Don Corwin and Coro Sasaki. The aerial attacks were handled by halfbacks Bob Baker and Norm Gerhardt, with the pass snagging being done by ends Joe Kelly and Al Elliot. Line duties were laid upon guards joe Fitzgerald and Minoru Ishizawa; tackles Dave Smith and Clement Cressin; and center Woodrow Odanaka.

An All-City Invitational Meet was sponsored for the first time this year by Coach McNay of the leather-lunged spikesters. Gar- field took first honors, while Dorsey came in second, Los Angeles third, Roosevelt fourth, Torrance fifth, and Hollywood sixth. Dorsey ' s five men to place out of the sixty entrants were: Smith, second; Spradling, tenth; Rodriguez, twelfth; Lewand, fifteenth; Davis, sixteenth. Smith, Rodriguez, and Lewand, returning lettermen, and Ed Thompson and Frank Spradling, graduating lettermen, were the top men of the squad. Thompson, Arutian, Lewand, McKibben.

Don Casaba men finished an otherwise unsuccess- ful varsity basketball season, splitting fifth rating with the Venice Gondoliers. The Dons, feeling the loss of Dick Lytle who was lost to the navy, and not as strong as they were when Jack Garland led the quintet, still retained their old fighting spirit. Coach Gerald Calhoun will find it hard to fill the positions left by the old dependables, Bob Osterland and Clark Rocky Thompson, mainstays in the Donhi line of defense. This dynamic duet kept the opposition on their toes every minute. Osterland dropped 43 points through the hoop, while high point man Thompson rang up a total of 76. Other graduating bright lights in the Dorsey bas- ketball firmament were Ed Kholer and Lovell Estell. Back on the floor next year for the Dons will be stellar performers. Baron Bryant, Ronnie Burton, Charles Castro and Big Jim Haney. Bryant tallied 11 points. Burton 57, Castro 13, while Haney filled the basket with 41 points. Winning only two games, those being Los Angeles and Fairfax, the boys from Rancho La Cienaga were ushered to a quiet corner of the Western League cellar where they were entertained by the Venice Gondoliers.

Gerald Calhoun Owen Hansen B-C BASKETBALL Bee basketball finished its season in a dark corner of the Western League cellar, winning only one out of ten league games. The only win of the season came in the first round of competition. After losing to L.A., the Bee casaba artists battled a strong Venice five to a 22-21 victory. From then on, the lightweights lost their eight remaining encounters. Several Don bids for victory were lost in the last few minutes of play. Against Los Angeles, the Donhi quintet held the men of Rome at bay for three quar- ters, then suddenly let down, during which time the Blue and White chalked up the winning tally and a score of 24-21 . Other almost wins came against Hamilton, 26-22. and Fairfax, 29-22. Although finishing last in the league, the Bees still retained their fighting spirit, and each game found them a scrappy little outfit. Led by Maurrie Hattem, ace forward and high point man with 73 points to his credit, the Bees gave the opposition plenty of competition. Herb Nelson aided the Bee cause with 49 points. Knight Travis and Louis Toledo garnered their share of glory with 21 and 29 points respective- ly. Graduating letterman Hector Pimentel gar- nered 28 points. Although the season marked only two victories for Coach Hansen ' s scrappy midget casaba men, a tie for third place in the league was justly awarded them. The Cees, lacking full-time coaching, were de- feated in their first four encounters. However, experience helped to strengthen them as the sea- son progressed, finishing with a .333 winning average. The midgets led offensively by Floyd Lyman and Dean Currier, were backed defensively by Nor- mond Linder, Fred Werhly, and Allen Herman.

GYM CLUB Starting the season with only two returning let- termen, Dorsey-musclemen did considerably bet- ter than was expected by downing Inglewood and Hollywood in the first two practice meets. The Western League competition proved a lit- tle too tough since four home meets with L.A., Venice, Hamilton, and University were all lost by a close margin. The team traveled to Fairfax only to meet defeat again at the hands of the Colonials. For the first time Don gymnasts played host to the Western League Finals which were held in the Dorsey gymnasium. In the finals, the Dons made a better showing then they had in the dual meets by beating out University to take fifth place. Don Corwin, Dorsey ' s ace ring man, placed third in the City Finals at Manual. Graduating lettermen are Bell on the Rope, Ben- net in Tumbling, Bishop on the Rope and Rings, Corwin on the Rings, Foxe in the Free Exercise and on the Parallels, and Tatum on the Side Horse.

For three reasons, the Don ' s 1941 baseball sea- son will long be hailed as a memorable one. First, the winning of the Helms All-City Invitational Tournament for the second consecutive season; second, the winning of the City League cham- pionship; and third, the naming of two members, Hugo Hoffman and Billy Flaugher, on the All- City Baseball Team. The first highlight of the season was the win- ning of the Dorsey Invitational Tournament. This was the second time in succession that the horse- hiders annexed this trophy. This year ' s tourna- ment was the biggest and longest tourney yet held. There were eighteen teams competing in it with Dorsey finally emerging the victor after a long and hard struggle. Dorsey ' s opponents in the tourney were: Banning, which was defeated 8-2; the tough Cardena squad was nosed out 1-0; Fremont, the next contender, was really tough, with the Dons coming from behind to win 5-4; Torrance, the surprise team of the tourney, was the next victim, to fall before the mighty Don bats, 12-1. Finishing their season in a tie for the City Championship, Dorsey ' s powerful baseball team turned in an outstanding record by winning 1 8 out of 23 games played the past season. Two of the six seniors on the squad, co-captains Bill Flaugher and Hugo Hoffman, were honored by being selected on the first All-City Baseball Team. They were presented with medals at Wrigley Field between games. Hoffman hit with a very high average of .462. Besides this, out of thirty-four at- tempted steals, thirty-three were successful, and his fielding average was in the .900. Now for the second half of this duet, Flaugher. Bill ' s batting average is .454, but what he is really noted for is his technique of mystifying the opposing batsmen with fine control, a fast low one, and a very difficult to hit curve. Bill Flaugher will go down in history as the first baseball player from Dorsey to go directly into pro- fessional baseball and play while he is still at school. It was during the last Fremont game that a scout from the Los Angeles Ball Club saw him pitch and hold the Pathfinders in check for 10 innings. After the game. Bill was asked to come to Wrigley Field and work out with the Angels.

The one defeat to mar their otherwise per- fect record was at the hands of L.A. High. Holly- wood, in their final game, upset the mighty Rom- ans, thus giving Dorsey the championship. This year ' s squad had Merle Sorenson and Phil Lan- dau sharing the catching duties and Bill Anderson and Bob Ferguson doing the major part of the chucking. Rounding out the infield was Tom Pucket playing first, Mark Neville second, Milt Share third, and Jack Rice short. In the outer pas- tures were Bob Ralston, Louis Toledo, Emanual Kobak and Jim Dunlap.

Hitting was the decided weakness of the club, except in the cases of Don Dickinson and Holy Cow Martin, with Dick hitting well over four-hun- dred. Forming next year ' s Bee squad and 1943 ' s var- sity will be the Don Tenth Grade team. With plenty of practice, they are slated to be another great varsity baseball team for Dorsey. At the start of the season, the Dons looked like another championship contender, as they won three out of five of their practice games. In their first league encounter, the boys lost a heart-breaking 10-9 game to Banning. Playing Los Angeles, Venice, and Fremont in that order, the Dons lost to L.A. 14-12, shut out Venice 5-0, and lost to Fremont 8-4 in their last game. Leading the team in hitting with an average of .462 was Kalejian who roamed the outer pas- tures in centerfield. Other fellows who showed promise were: Peck, a first baseman who hit a neat .333. Pitching for the tenth graders were Roeder and Castro. When he wasn ' t pitching Roeder did a bit of flyhawking in centerfield.

Although very weak in the sprints and pole vault, the Dons defeated Fairfax and Venice while losing hair raising thrillers to Los Angeles, University and Hamilton, the latter being decided in the last event. This year ' s sterling performances and broken records were turned in by Tom Palmer who tied the league high jump record and shattered the school mark with a 6 ' 2 leap; Hal Broadway who ripped off the 880 in 2:3.5s, Irv Smith the only undefeated man on the varsity running the mile in 4:43.4s, and johnny Cain who flew over the high hurdles in 15.8s. With many members of the present squad returning next year, visions of Dor- sey ' s first varsity track championship are very bright.

The only Bee defeat was suffered at the hands of the L.A. aggregation in the first encounter of the season in which the relay decided the meet. The season produced many individual stars, four of whom hold new school records. Hugo Hoff- man sprinted the 220 in 23 seconds flat, and tied the century dash record of 10.5s. Lloyd Maddy stepped off the 660 in 1 :28.8s. Dan Lewand broke the 1320 record with a 3:29.1. Orin Fredericks vaulted 10 ' QVz . Les King and Norm Cerhardt, ace hurdlers, Fred Yasunaga, pole vaulter, and Coro Sasaki, shot putter, also turned in their share of the tallies. Copping the Western League title as well as the League finals, the Donhi Cees for the second term marched through the season undefeated. The midgets were led by diminutive Walt Boyd, who turned in a double win in the 1 00 and broad jump in every encounter. Boyd also tied the school record for the Cee 100 in 10.6s. Other record breakers were Al Elliot and Tom Firmes who set a new mark of 1 :30.5s in the 660; Ed- die Erickson who vaulted to a new school record of 10 ' 3 ; and Masao Igasaki who tied the rec- ord of 5 ' 4 in the high jump. The relay team made up of Willcut, Elliot, Lentz and Boyd, was undefeated in any competition and set a new school record with a time of 46.3s.

TENNIS Led by first man Norman Davies. the Don racquet squad finished fourth in the league. Drubbing Hamilton and University, Coach Alley ' s men tasted defeat at the hands of three of the city ' s strongest teams, Los Angeles, Fairfax, and Venice. With every member of the team except Wuister returning for next year ' s net wars, the Donhi racqueteers loom as one of the best teams in the loop. The win and loss column was headed by Jack Reichier with three triumphs in four encounters, followed by Russel Harris and Don Gilbert with a three for five average, and Jay Wuister and Art Weiss with two for four. Although not winning many matches, Norman Davies, Al Ruda, and Al Corlick were required to play better netters than some of the other Don racquet-wielders who can now boast of more victories.

Up to this semester, the Lettermen ' s Society had been an automatic membership group. Now, spon- sored by Coach Kidder and led by Tom Siatos, it is a club of thirty-seven picked and efficient letter- men, whose duties consist of ushering at all athletic events, assisting with circle and yard duty, and selling season passes and Dorseygrams. Three semi-annual events are sponsored by the club. They are the Lettermen ' s Dance, the Boosters ' Ball and the Lettermen ' s Award Banquet. The Managers ' Club is an athletic organization sponsored by Coach Witherow. Headed during the year by Hiroshi Tadakuma and Al Ulloa, the managers for each sport take care of all the equipment and see that the playing field is in good shape. Being a manager involves much personal responsibil- ity. Managers must be able to take and give commands, and stay late after school checking on equip- ment. The Managers ' Club holds an off-campus banquet every semester at which new appointments are announced. ' X ■ ■ ' i ' ri i ' GIRi S ' SPORT .j TTTarion TPoss Evelyn Clarke Orabelle Smith Arlene Craber Charlotte Bates GIRLS ' SPORTS Any girl interested in athletics may join the Dorsey Girls ' Athletic Associa- tion. A girl becomes a member on receiving credit for one sport for which she must stay after school two nights a week. On the completion of this sport the neophyte undergoes a week of informal initiation at the end of which time the formal initiation takes place. A C.A.A. member may earn a letter for active participation in six sports. For every two sports beyond this a star is added to the letter. The highest honor obtainable is a three star letter given to those who are outstanding in sportsmanship and athletics. Behind the busy activities of the C.A.A. lies the hard work and sincere efforts of the four women who are the mainstays of this organization. Under the guidance of Miss Clarke, head of the physical education depart- ment, the C.A.A. has risen from its infant stage. She has fostered the C.A.A. since its beginning three years ago and is the acting sponsor of the Cirls ' Let- ter Society. Mrs. Smith has been the after-school director of the C.A.A. during the past year. Almost any afternoon she can be found participating in the sport which is going on at the time. The sincere and helpful friend of every girl is Miss Craber. To her goes much of the credit for the success of the Circus Playday held at Dorsey in Novem- ber. New to Dorsey this semester is Mrs. Bates who has made a definite place for herself in the physical education department. She gave a great deal of her time to the teaching of square dancing after school. A great deal has been accomplished the past year by the Executive Board to further the spirit of friendly rivalry for which the C.A.A. strives. This cabi- net is composed of the officers and heads of sports. Betty Huffman and Marion Austin have successfully led the C.A.A. this year. Other officers were: Vice-Presidents, Phyllis Muro and Helen Savage; Secretaries, Dorothy Parker and Eileen Hall; Treas- urers, Marion Austin and Catherine Jacobs; His- torian, Mildred Zimmerman. Membership in the Letter Society is open to girls of outstanding sportsmanship who have received their letter in C.A.A. The Girls ' Letter Society has been very active under the leadership of Birgit Johnson, and Phyllis Muro, organizing the all girls ' rooting section and sponsoring a playday. All girls receiving letters for active participation in C.A.A. become letterwomen. These girls help with the organizing of the all girls ' rooting section at home games. njm,m G. A. A.

This pop- ular team sport began September 30 under Ella Jacobs, Head of Volleyball. It was one of the most crowded sports; one hundred and fifty-two girls received credit. All girls were put on teams and competition among these teams resulted in fun for all. Vv ' inner of this year ' s volleyball tournament was the team captained by Helen Savage. Tennis The tennis courts became the scene of busy activity on September 30 when all C.A.A. tennis enthusi- asts took to the courts, led by Patricia V arner, Head of Tennis. Credit for an individual sport was given to thirty-six girls. Some very skillful rac- quet swinging was displayed by members who held a tournament at the end of the season. Hockey Hockey enthusiasts enjoyed a rugged session un- der the leadership of Head of Sport, Helen Savage. This sport is very strenuous, for players must al- ways be on the move to keep warm in the cool December winds. Credit for this team sport was given to thirty-five girls. Speedba A suitable sport for the crisp December weather is speedball. This team sport supplies plenty of action for it combines the good points of football, soccer, and basketball. Thirty-two girls reported for speed- ball and a very successful season resulted. Helen Savage served as Head of Speedball. Baseb. Dorsey ' s feminine Big Leaguers turned out wholeheartedly for spring practice. Due to the fine May weather and the capable leadership of Head of Baseball, Miriam Buys, a good time was had by all. There were one hundred and three girls who received credit for this popular sport. Twosome In December, the C.A.A. turned to twosome for activity. This innovation of volleyball uses a half court with two players on a team. Head of Two- some, Beverly Jackson, kept the girls busy. Beverly Jackson and Pat Gray won the twosome tourna- ment. One hundred and ten girls turned out for this sport. Badminton One of the most spirited of the individual sports is badminton. The sport started in February and was directed by Head of Badminton, Janet Stirdivant. The gym was a place of constant activity during the season. Chief birdie smashers turned out to be Marion Austin and Helen Savage victors in the bad- minton tournament. Sixty-seven girls received credit. Archery The targets on the archery range underwent great wear when the Dorsey C.A.A. archers took to the range. Chasing arrows and getting bullseyes proved to be great fun for some fifty girls out for archery. This sport was ably guided by Head of Archery, Helen Supple. Basketba Basketball, coached by Mary Miller, Head of Bas- ketball, began in February. This was a popular sport for one hundred and thirty-eight girls turned out. The tournament was a hotly contested one with B12 ' s gaining the championship of the courts. THREE STAR LETTERWOMEN — Row 1 — Betty McMullan, Phyllis Muro, Jackie Hester.

Each school is allovy ed to attend two playdays a semester, or four playdays a year. Usually one of these four playdays is held at home. On Thursday, November 14, 1940, Dorsey played host at a playday and invited Belmont, Wilson, Marshall, University and Jordan High Schools. This Playday followed a circus theme and proved very successful. The following week, Tuesday, November 19, 1940, Dorsey was invited to attend a playday at Bell High School. Wednesday, May 28, 1941, a poor man ' s playday was held at Dorsey. Garfield, Van Nuys, Huntington Park, Wilson, Bell and Franklin attended. Awards are made twice a year, terminating the fall and winter sports. The fall season officially closes with the spread at which the new officers are introduced. This year ' s spread was held in January. The banquet, which closes the spring season, was held in June. This affair is semi-formal and parents and faculty are invited. This is often serious for it means the close of a year of happy times spent in G.A.A. sports and activities. ■555? !i%;  Vt ' •m m-- . m. 1 DAK JE DE LAvCY One day back last term you ' ll remember, It was during the hot days of September, Three hundred new men Were enrolled as BIO ' s Each welcomed by all as a member. Lettermen, with a glint in their eye. Went out to set a new high. They hounded the masses To buy season passes, And Dorseygrams. We did, you and I While grid stars were running and throwing, Our Don Band was strutting and blowing. And by our being thrifty. Their suits turned out nifty, And our thanks to Kiwanis is growing. There really was a great doubt As to whether this book would come out. For this annual sale Made our Ed ' s face turn pale, And when we made it — he smiled and passed out. Our athletes at play always please But at dancing they feel ill at ease. On the field they are great. And with girls how they rate. But my feet say that they ' re no Najinskies. No matter how good be the game. There ' ll always be some dizzy dame Who ' ll stand up to wave Right in front, while you rave. To catch the eyes of cute guys is their ain Having talents and attributes rare, Was each lively and hep Modernaire, In the Don Hall of Fame, Engraved is his name. For each job he performed with great care. With sportsman-like cheering in play, The game being fought a clean way. We had lots more fun. And the trophy we won. Now its ours, and we hope here to stay. This year we all had one endeavor. To get fifty tons of paper together. We were in the red. Now we ' re way out ahead. May Don spirit be with us forever. Sf9%ceJ£a Last term at our fall senior brawl, They brawled ' till their walk was a crawl, Though the girls looked a sight, It was a great fight, And the Comanches were tops over all. There were groans, grunts and sorrows the day. That grades on report cards held sway. For the F ' s and the D ' s, Over balanced the B ' s, So hard work took the place of our play. A lad just from England, named Harry, Said, Around girls I ' ll never tarry, But when Howdy Day came. We heard him exclaim, By jove, but these Donnas are merry. This year when the fellows took over, They thought that they were in the clover, But after they ' d seen All the work they felt green, And were glad when this Boys ' Day was over. This year here there started a craze To see those delightful Noon Plays. They soon passed the test. And they scored a success. And now we ' re sure this activity stays. At Open House Dorsey extends Invitations to parents and friends. And it ' s here that we prove That we work in the groove. And learn many new fashions and trends. 75o77g.e££ ' There ' s never been quite an array Of injuns with such fire and sway. Those Comanches were rough, But still knew their stuff. As is viewed in their work and their play. That riotous Faculty Skit Helped make the Extravaganza a hit. I was surprized as can be To find them human like me. And I laughed ' till my sides almost split. Graduation always brings on the yen To look back on those three years, but then. Though we love our school, As a general rule We ' d hate to go through it again. 1 — rre r ' ■ 3 m
