COMMUNITY OFF! 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.

COMMUNITY OFF! Jim English did a grand job as Student Community President for Summer 1941. 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.
