The ideal is preparation for the future through education; the man is Mr. Vierling Kersey, who has done most in our times to further this ideal. An essential part of this future will be careful planning. Each of us must give serious thought to our problems and requirements in order to meet them adequately. Upon graduation, each student will have to make an adjustment between his school life, in which he had many of his problems solved for him, and a life in a more mature business world, in which he will have to make his own decisions. There is a definite connection between these two lives, inasmuch as in the first we are planning and preparing for the second. Our main objectives at the present are thinking ahead, setting a goal, and planning ac- cordingly, The most important thing for each student to do now, especially during the present crisis, is to prepare for a complete and well roounded future. A man who has done as much as, or more than, any one person to further the cause of preparation through education is our superintendent of schools, Mr. Vierling Kersey. He has been and is continuing to be a motivating force for this plan. All of his energies are directed tc its immediate fulfillment. His past experience as principal of Metropolitan High School, assistant superintendent, and state superintendent of schools, well qualifies him for the work he has undertaken. It is his work to guide the students of Los Angeles through these difficult days of preparation and to solve any problems that may arise. Our school life has great significance. In Mr. Kersey ' s own words, No day of school must pass without emphasis on thrift, industry and loyalty to our country, what these quali- ties mean and how they obligate every person to examplify them in daily conduct, discussion and thought, Because of the present crisis, Mr, Kersey ' s task takes on still more meaning. He is a tireless worker and has devoted his whole professional life to the study of education. To an ideal, to a man, to a democracy of social and vocational fulfillment through a people piepared for their place in life, we dedicate the annual of S ' 42. LOOKING iTs (M- S ft lO - oee - f ..,,, J I T O FUTURE c o M U N I T Y GOVE E N T Dorsey Community Government is based on the soundest principles of democracy, and trains the members of the student body to take their places as future citizens. COM UNITY E D U C A T I O During his three years as a member of the Dorsey Community each student has experiences which add to his understanding of the significance of the social, historical, and cultural values of democratic living. TBnr wnr G R E S S The subject fields in which the student receives his educa- tion are planned to challenge his thinking, enrich his back- ground, and give him opportunity for practical application of fundamental learning to the problems he must face as a con- tributing member of society. U N 1 T ¥ une f i V I T I E S Service to the Community, as well as participation in social, recreational, and athletic activities, plays a vital part in the life of every student of Susan Miller Dorsey High School. u f ■I ' Wi . ■I •mmmmr . c o UNITY GOV I 10 Our principal has risen to the challenge of his responsi- bility, and the result is Dorsey High SchooL Five years ago, we were a new and relatively unimportant high school. Today, we are renowned throughout Los Angeles for our scholastic activities and our good sportsmanship. For this rapid expansion we can express our gratitude to our principal, under whose wise tutelage we have grown. In this brief period of time we have acquired many traditions which have become part of our Dorsey life. The fine record we are achieving is the result of his patience, perseverance, and understanding. Because Mr. Montgomery serves in an advisory capacity to our student body we have a true democratic form of stu- dent government, enjoying the privileges and responsibilities of any community; and because of Mr. Montgomery ' s fore- sight, each student is equipped with vocational guidance to assist him in future social and occupational adjustments. The cooperation between our faculty and students is fur- thered under his direction, especially as he plays an im- portant part in the arrangement of each semester ' s schedule and curriculum. As head of a high school, the principal must have the love of youth ,and the ability to be sympathetic with its needs. Dorsey is well aware that Mr. Montgomery possesses these qualities. We of Dorsey High School are indebted to our principal for the lasting foundation he has laid to make our school a credit to the American way of life. The enthusiasm of our boys ' vice-principal and his genu- ine liking for his work with the boys arouses the whole- hearted cooperation of the Dorsey student body. As head of the boys ' athletic prog ram, sponsor of the Knights, and coordinator pf Dorsey defense, Mr. Kelly is an active participant in all school affairs. He is known on the campus for his invariable sportsman- ship in dealing with the problems of the boys, his ability to recognize their difficulties, and his help in finding the correct solution for them. Dorsey girls realize and value Miss Howard ' s constant willingness to aid them in assuming their civic responsibili- ties as poised and well-mannered young women. As girls ' vice-principal, the sponsorship of the Ladies, Welfare Board, Personnel Board, and Social Committee is included in her school activities. As P.T.A. coordinator she helps strengthen the relationship between the school and parent, and as assistant to the principal in administration, she is responsible for the school calendar. It is to Miss Howard the girls of Dorsey turn instinctively for guidance and friendship. Rober Mary t Kelly H owa rd Ji .Sf: I Each Dorsey student is the American voter of tomorrow. Since to the youth of today will fall the task of building a better world, now is the time to prepare and equip ourselves so that we will have the knowledge and skill necessary for such an under- taking. What better place is there for such training than in our high school? For this reason, the guidance program at Dorsey is of fundamental importance. Its primary purpose is to enable the student to develop to his fullest scope his personality, intelligence, and physical being. Through his teachers, the pupil is made conscious of his own unique qualities in order to make the most of his good points and to remove his bad ones. He learns to shoulder responsibility; to work individually or collectively; and to think independently. He comes to realize the importance, not only of learning certain basic skills and techniques but also of the fullest development of his mind. From experience, he learns that through personal relationships and a cooperative attitude, he is happier and more successful in his school life. When the student graduates from school, all of these experiences and habits go with him, and enable him to contribute his share to society. Mrs. Hatch, the right hand of the Administration, and head of the Counselor ' s Department, is deeply interested in the prob- lems of each student and gives unstintingly of her time to help solve them. He is under her guidance and direction during his entire three years at Dorsey and, through individual contact with the students and their teachers, Mrs. Hatch has been able to plan such a curriculum at Dorsey that will give him the fullest intellectual, cultural, physical, and so cial background for his future. COUNSELOR ' S OFFICE— Mrs. Denny, Mrs. Hatch, and Mrs. Russell. — « ' c ATTENDANCE OFFICE— Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Nelson, and Mrs. Breneman. The seniors receive much valuable help through the counselling of Mrs. Russel. She goes over the entire school record of each senior with him to see whether he has enough credits for graduation and the proper requirements and grades for his course after graduation. No school can function smoothly and effectively without the aid of an efficient office staff to take care of the numer- ous details necessary to the running of so large a school as Dorsey. The Attendance Office is justly called the Coordinator of Attendance and Citizenship Besides doing the clerical work, this office helps to promote responsibility, promptness, honesty, and dependability in the students which they can carry on into their )obs in later life. The Business Office handles all the financial affairs of the student body. All the cash coming into or going out of the student-body must pass through this office and be recorded upon its books. This office manages the Dugout , the student- body store, and puts the profits into the school treasury. The Main Office handles the bookkeeping necessitated by the employment of the school personnel and also orders sup- plies and equipment. This office contains the supply room and the switchboard which handles all incoming and outgoing telephone calls. The Textbook Room places all the orders for books and supplies the teachers with the desired sets. The books are issued from this department and stored here when not in use. A record is kept of each textbook in the school. BUSINESS OFFICE— Mr. Richardson. MAIN OFFICE— Mrs. Keele and Mrs. Overfield i{ 1 S T i 11 U D Jim Taber, GMnmunity President Dick Wormell, GimmissionRr of Public Relations Gloria Ducker, Business Manager G I Herbert Nelson, Commissioner of Fine Arts 14 i Giver w 4 2 The fine activities accomplished under the leadership of the executive board of Winter ' 42 prove that Dorsey is ever striving to develop progressively. Jim Taber, as Community President, vi as instrumental in leading Dorsey through the difficulties of the adjustment to the present emergency. Assisting in his cabinet were: Evelyn Hauschild and Buster Galbraith, Personnel Vice Presi- dents; Virginia Cuthill and Irving Smith, Service Vice-Presidents; Dorothy Parks, Community Secretary; Gloria Ducker, Business Manager; Herbert Nelson, Commissioner of Fine Arts, and Dick Wormell, Commissioner of Public Relations. For the second consecutive year, Dorsey v ' as awarded the Western League Sportsmanship Trophy. The present plan of the season activity card was introduced, and it increased student interest in school activities. New responsibili- ties and closer group relationships were brought about as Dorsey ' s defense was organized. The participation of the boys and girls in Vocational Day resulted in the acquition of practical knowledge for future vocations. During this semester a plan was originated whereby the number of clubs to which a student might belong was limited. Buster Galbraith Boys ' Personnel Vice-President; Virginia Cuthill, Girls ' Service Vice-President; Evciyn Hauschild, Girls ' Personnel Vice- President; Irving Smith, Boys ' Service Vice-President; Dorothy Parks, Secretary. Bob Winquist, Commnsioner of Public Relations Al Gorlick, Businsss Manager s ■ ' n Atli O V E 4 2 Wisely guiding the Summer 1942 semester through numerous activities, Buster Galbraith succeeded in maintain- ing Dorsey ' s high status of achievement always evident in its accomplishments. During this semester the organization of the Dorsey Congress and the arrangement of a suitable schedule for club interests were completed. Dorsey again re- ceived the honor of sending a student chairman to the Youth Conference held at the Biltmore Hotel and Buster was elected to this important position. Under the direction of the Service Vice-Presidents, Lois Oshier and Mark Nevill, the service units through coordi- ating many new ideas, were organized for greater efficiency arid increased effectiveness. Dorothy Parks and Jay Moskovitz, Girls ' and Boys ' Personnel Vice-Presidents, respectively, directed those boards which helped to solve the problems of the boys and girls, thus keeping school relations running smoothly and happily. Commun ity Secretary, Jean Casey, aptly kept Executive Board minutes and carried on the necessary student-body correspondence. Marge Riley, Commissioner of Fine Arts, led many activities which contributed to school cultural development. As Public Relations Commissioner, Bob Winquist succeeded in bringing into closer association the school and com- munity, which resulted in a better understanding between these two groups.

These students, aided by encouraging administrative officers, are familiarized with the school campus and buildings. The students find that department heads are always ready to give advice and counsel. With this cooperation available at all times, a sense of security is established which can stand by the pupils in their future work at Dorsey. Enrollment into Dorsey and the planning of tentative high school programs are the immediate introductory contacts the new students make with the school. Getting acquainted with the school execu- tives, including the Principal, Vice-Principals, Counselor, and de- partment chairmen, is one of the high points of the plan to make these students feel at ease with the new life in which they are soon to become active participants. As he continues to make his acquaintance with the school and its activities, a knowledge is gained by the student of the many school departments which can always help him in his study and recreation. Meetings between the new Dorsey students and such prominent upper-class groups as the Knights and Ladies organizations and the President ' s Forum are arranged, designed to acquaint the students with their school, its student-body administration, and the duties of elected officers responsible for successful management of school affairs. Aside from outlining requirements for entrance into the various school organizations, the presidents give an idea of the advantages gained by service and activity in clubs. The fact is stressed that sincere effort and cooperation result in satisfaction and substantial character development. Recognizing the leadership of these groups, the students can readily understand the numerous possibilities which may be fulfilled in such a progressive school as Dorsey. Meeting Club Presidents Dancing and similar co-recreational interest put into practice the valuable information gained in social arts activity. Through vocational guidance, a study of future occupations enables the students to get some idea of the opportunities av aiting them in business and professional fields after graduation. The planning of the school programs is gathered with an outlook to the interests and possible vocation of the students. Personal contact is made w ith Mrs. Hatch and the Counselor ' s Office v hen adjust- ments are needed to make the programs proceed smoothly. The use of leisure time to best advantage is urged, thereby bene- fitting each student constructively and laying a foundation for future enjoyment. Having found his place in the school routine, the student begins to take an active part in school functions and community life, thus culminating a semester in which his first high school associations have been made. By means of work carried on in the tenth grade English orienta- tion classes the students indirectly come in contact with the various problems that may arise for them in the future. In addition they are aided in their ad|ustment to the new experiences their high school life holds in store for them. Through tests they learn something about their personalities, their drawbacks, and advantages, a knowl- edge of which will enable them to overcome many restraining handi- caps. Reading and writing exercises promote a better manipulation of skills which are necessary to the furtherance of a successful career. The importance of etiquette and correct behavior is stressed as essential to personality building by means of general analysis and illustrative skits. Poise and proper attire, requisites of the in- dividual ' s future social progress, are important points included in the personal adjustment program. Use of Leisure Time Promoting Americanism The study of the United States made in the eleventh grade pre- pares the individual for the future in that he learns about the coun- try ' s growth economically, politically, geographically, and culturally. It is with this primary knowledge that he will be able to formulate many ideas which must be based on this information. A democratic form of government, practiced in the classroom includes the use of parliamentary procedure which establishes dis- cipline and respect, necessities in the future cooperative enterprises in which most students will be soon taking part. A study is made of outstanding historical documents whose very works manifest the ideals of a democratic people. By understanding the background of national doctrines which are contained in these documents the student is able to analyze many governmental move- ments. Therefore, he will find future decisions easier to make with a comprehension of the principles of his country. I ioMHeuOf Panel groups discuss vital questions which are uppermost in every citizen ' s mind. Those who take part in these panels investigate carefully their subjects so that they can carry on informative discus- sions. This experience is very helpful, for the students must employ their own initiative to reason out their explanati ons, a method which will have to be used throughout life. Defense activities are studied with plans formulated whereby aluable time and materials may be utilized to the fullest extent. The different phases of American literature which are covered extend from the time when hopeful colonists first came to America for political and religious freedom, through the period when they struggled for independence, and finally though those stages of devel- opment when America was unfolding culturally to an eager world. By means of tests and quizzes the students can determine the value of this course in which they are learning how to practice true Americanism. i i The students examine current events, analyzing them from a standpoint of authenticity, propaganda content, and general informa- tion. This study of current events adds to the knowledge of v ' orld geography which is important in order to be able to make intelligent interpretations and theories of the new developments in the interna- tional situation. A careful consideration is made of the geographical location of the places of world conflict, with an analysis of the artificial and natural defenses of the place and the attitude of the population. As the supreme law of the land the Constitution and its back- ground are investigated; the pupils learn about the outstanding men who collaborated on this great piece of literature. Understanding the provisions that were established for the benefit of the people will give the students the knowledge they will need to act successfully their role as reliable officers of the future. In addition to the work which covers. United States history and government, there is a study made of immigration, its background, the problems it presents, and the advantages in which it has resulted. The students learn to be tolerant of different creeds and races by learning about the contributions that many people have given to the progress of our country. Understanding that many improvements and useful aids to the country ' s advancement would not have been possible Without the constructive additions which have been made by numerous people from other countries enables them to appre- ciate the fortitude and perseverance of these people. Many students are active in service organizations at this time. They are learning to cooperate with school executives in caring for school equipment. The value of using the public property carefully will extend to the time when they must consider the property of much larger concerns. i T:r ( yiA Well prepared to face the problems of the future, the Buccaneers, graduating class of W ' 43, were disti nctive in their class activities. Captain of the Buccaneers was Don Gustafson , assisted by First Mates Lois Seaman and Chuck- Feldman, Second Mate Shirley Troy, and Third Mate Jewell Creighton. For the first time in the history of Dorsey High School, Senior Prob- lems has been a required sub|ect for the Senior Bees. As all the classes were held third period, the speedy organization of the class was made possible. The twenty-week course consisted of three units. Consumer educa- tion, which covered a period of five weeks, was taught by Mr, Addison and Miss McGuire. It emphasized better buymanship and understanding of the modern economic problems which have been augmented by the present crisis. Realizing the necessity for an adequate knowledge of various types of budgeting, much time was spent on panel discussions concerning the best ways of aiding homemakers to make the most of their dollars. An interpretation of governmental economic moves intended as a measure to restrict inflation, such as rationing in fields of vital civilian needs, was also discussed in this unit. Home nursing and first aid were five-week courses for the girls and boys, respectively, with Miss Louise Harrison, Mr. Burchard, and Mr. Kidder as instructors. It is to be assumed that home nursing is one of the most important factors in national civilian defense.

First aid is an essential part of student training, and was required cf all boys, who frequently have the opportunity of using their knowledge both on and off the campus- The ten-week unit in personality development and social arts provides a thorough background for boy and girl relationships, problems of the family, and a study of hereditary and environmental factors influencing self- development and improvement. A familiarity with social arts gives every student the poise and confidence without which he cannot hope to take his place gracefully in society. This unit is taught by Mr. Heath, Mrs. Russell, and Mrs. Householder. Chosen by the Sweater Committee headed by Betty Mae Calvin, and the Emblem Color and Name Commitee, headed by Fred Stevens, the bright red sweaters and the red. white, and black emblems distinguish the Bucaneers. The Senior Bee picnic was planned by the Social Com- mittee, the chairman of which was Harlan Willcutt, as- sisted by Hazel Johnson. This activity consisted of a picnic lunch, dancing, and sports, which turned out to be a great s uccess. Tradition Day was also a great occasion, FoT on that day the Senior Bees were presented with the Senior Court, and at last came into their full dignity as seniors. me Nursing W iSi .,,. i 1. B -di ' -T ' -x i S E N I O LAS Jack Root — President W ' 42 The Gauchos, the graduating class of Winter ' 42, contributed much to the spirit of Dorsey High School They elected Jack Root as their president during the senior year and in so doing greatly increased their potentialities. Jack, besides being an active and efficient prexy, headed the cast of the Gaucho ' s successful senior play, The Poor Nut. Marjorie Farrar, Girls ' Vice-President; Norman Levenson, Boys ' Vice-President; Jean MacGregor, Secretary, and Bob Benner, Treasurer, were valuable aids to the many accomplishments of their class. The class was indebted to the fine work of Mr. William Heath, sponsor of the Gauchos, and to the other teachers who supervised the committees. The first class activity was the enjoyable skating party under the direc- tion of Bob Levy. This affair served to acquaint the members of the class and brought about further cooperation among the GauchjlDs. The Senior Brawl, a semi-annual event bep « p Bees and the Ayes, CO Cl{ l(ll th ; cb Oli en sa da H m the pre k of sue ma Gai and mat mt lynr ( (iifl ik S ' Chy ? ' ar Gay W I N 4 2 consisted of a series of hilarious relays, including a fero- cious tug-of-war, exciting pie-eating contest, and a thrill- ing obstacle race. Both the Gauchos and Konoians were thoroughly wet before the completion of the Brawl. It was enjoyed exceedingly by the student body, who cheered the victorious Gauchos and the vengeful Kon- oians. Mike Mazmanian was largely responsible for its entertaining program. Gaucho Day was composed of rip-roaring fun for the seniors. They dressed in costumes representing their class name, and attempted to outdo each other by wear- ing their loudest shirts, pants and hats. After picnicking on the girls ' athletic field, they adjourned to the gym for the Gaucho Dance. Dorothy Jordan was in charge, and produced an entertaining and decorative affair. January 27 was the date for the memorable Tradition Day and Senior Breakfast. Claire Rowland, chairman of the Tradition Day committee, and Beverly Millard, head of the Breakfast Committee, worked together for its success. The solemnity and beauty of these occasions marked another milestone in the victorious career of the Gauchos. The Gaucho Gazette, edited by George Elser and his assistants, Hal Weiner and Mike Mazmanian, made its initial appearance at the Breakfast. Featured in this journal of the Gauchos were the Class Will and Prophesy, which were read aloud to the seniors. This class was composed of Dorsey ' s first war-time graduates, and although they were deprived of the oppor- tunities the former senior classes received, their ability to be good sports was recognized. Climaxing their final year at Dorsey High School, two hundred and eight Gauchos were graduated with the tra- ditional and impressive exercises on Thursday, January 29, 1942, Dr. Louis Evans, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, was the guest speaker. The pro- gram was representative of the collective talents of the Gauchos. SENIOR A S Familiar sights on the Dorsey campus were martial reviews by the- Senior Aye boys. As a vital part of Dorsey ' s defense program, they were given R. 0. T. C, training each day in their gym class, while the Senior Aye girls were instructed in first aid and calisthenics. One phase of their training was the physical examination re- quired of each Senior Aye. Those passing the require- ments were issued a certificate of health which is val- of the initiative the class possessed. Mrs, Smith and Mrs. Nelson were the faculty advisors. One of the highlights of all their social affairs was Senior Day. This is fast becoming one of Dorsey ' s many traditions for the Senior Ayes. After enpying a picnic lunch, the Konoians participated in the recreational activ- ities offered. The friendly competitive spirit which typi- fied the Konoians was plainly shown. For their dramatic presentation they offered t o the Dorsey student body A Senior Revue which consisted Youth and Uncle Sam was .especially appropriate as of two modern one-act plays. it showed the relationship between the student and democracy during this emergency. The talented Senior Ayes, Betty Myers, Bob Wmquist, Irene Pulos, and Tom Milana, were starred The Senior Prom, headed by Marprie Riley, will long be remembered as a colorful and unusual event indicative the best man. On Tradition Day, Tom Puckett relinquished Senior Court to the future Senior Aye class, the Buccaneers The presentation of the class gift, and its acceptance com- pleted these ceremonies. Later, they were served the customary breakfast. It was due to Barbara Capelouto, chairman of the Tradition Day Committee, and Barbara Shaner, head of the Breakfast Committee, that this day was so well -coordinated. As a fitting completion of their three years at Dorsey High School, the Konoians were graduated with the traditional beauty of the commencement exercises. Ju2 I O F ' 4 2 T- A SUMMER Proudly wearing their seagreen sweaters signifying their rank as the Seniors of Summer ' 42, the Kcnoians were hailed as the current graduating class. Restricted by the present emergency the Kcnoians were unable to have any night activities or extensive and elaborate affairs. But living up to the honor and dignity of their position they planned their program accordingly. The splendid leadership of Tom Puckett and his cabinet, which consisted of Virginia Cuthill, Girls ' Vice-President; Milton Share and George Cooke, Boys ' Vice-Presidents; Maxine Edwards, Secretary, and Ed Pelkey, Treasurer, brought distinction to the Konoians. The executive board was unique because the votes were so evenly divided between George Cooke and Milton Share for Boys ' Vice-President both held the office during the Senior aye semester. Tom Puckett — President S ' 42 E P E B I A W ' 4 2 $ Selected by the Senior Class and faculty, the Ephebians represented outstanding scholar- ship, citizenship, and leadership. They were chosen from a list composed of the top twenty per cent of the class. The five Gauchos elected truly constituted splendid examples of ex- ceptional students. Marilyn Carlson was especially well-known for her numerous roles in Dorsey ' s produc- tions, and as head of the Girls ' Welfare Board As president of the Ladies, and as an ener- getic worker in all her activities, Beverley Millard ' s accomplishments were many. Ray Raw- lins, while president of the HiY and chairman of the Boys ' Welfare Board, achieved renown on the Dorsey campus. Mile Mazmaman led the Bee football team to victory and was the effi- cient sports editor of the Dorseygram The honor of being class president during the Senior Bee and Aye semesters was bestowed on Jack Root, who could also be associated with the suc- cess of many of our dramas.

The English OrientaHon Class extends for one year through the tenth grade. In the BIO, oral English is emphasized as essential to each student for adequate self-expression. A study of personal- ity enables each individual to understand himself better, and an analysis of his good and bad quali- ties helps him to make the most of his abilities. Overcoming his handicaps, he can be an active and constructive participant in school and home affairs. The obiect of these aids in self-improvement is to make the students capable to maintain a helpful and friendly association with all their co-workers and acquaintances. A study of some career or vocation is made by each student from the exploratory angle. In this way, general information is obtained about many different vocations, their advantages and disad- vantages, and the opportunties for the future in their respective fields. Improving reading and writing skills is the aim of the AlO work. Increasing speed and understanding in these subjects will aid all students in their study and ieisure-time activities. One classic read and an- alyzed in this semester develops an interest in lit- erature. Through individual guidance the student plans the use of his time to best advantage, estab- lishing normal study periods and a well-balanced program of school work and recreational activities. This foundation encourages the student to make the most of his time and ability. The first necessary contacts with the school and its interests are made by most students in the tenth grade. At this important time a basis can be laid upon which each student may build his high school years happily and successfully. A M E R I C ..Fulfilling the eleventh grade English and Social Studies requirements, the one year American Life and Institutions class introduces the story of America, its builders, and its contributions. The panorama of colorful United States history presented in the Bl 1 provides for an understanding and appreciation of America ' s struggle for political and territorial expansion. This information will prove essential in solving future problems, the re- sults of which will depend upon the knowledge of America ' s past historical development. Through the presentation of the story of democ- racy ' s growth in America, the leaders of the future learn the place it holds in world history and human progress. The part these people will play in democ- racy ' s advancement is stressed in learning about growing America. American literature fosters an appreciation for American authors, their background, and contribu- tions to culture. The importance of literature in America ' s democratic movement illustrates its fu- ture significance in world development. Civics, a study of the development of United States Government, is outlined in the All. With a complete comprehension of the workings of the government, the student learns what he can do as an active citizen in the United States. The rights of voting and participation in American life are analyzed as privileges of a democracy. With a thorough knowledge of his country the student will be able to work with it and be a strong leader in its progressive aspirations. As this class also serves as the guidance and core curriculum class for each eleventh grade student, It IS here that courses are planned for the next year. ADELPHIANS— Row 1. Price. Gold, Pollack.

Students interested in literary self-expression have the opportunity to give form to their ideas in the creative writing class. Advanced composition gives academic students the chance to prepare for college entrance examin- ations in English, providing fundamental training in grammar usage and punctuation. For non-academic students senior English encour- ages the enjoyment and appreciation of literature in addition to emphasizing sentence and grammar structure. Modern literature, English literature, and world literature help to round out personalities which will be interesting and successful in future social con- tacts. Through drama and public speaking classes the student gains confidence in meeting people and pre- senting his work for criticism. The international relations course provides for a realization of world conditions and policies, estab- lishing a background for wise analyses of facts and developing discreet judgment of trends and peoples. Pan-American relations, showing Latin-American progress in all fields, develops an understanding of neighbors to the south which will be increaS- :iy necessary in making the future commercial associations. n the leadership class, which is entered only by permission, parliamentary procedure, democratic leadership, and public speaking are practiced. Active rticipation in community affairs creates a desire school improvement. This is invaluable experi- for students who will perform future services useful citizens. I As the center of student research, the Dorsey library is an im- portant contributing factor to the scholastic success of each pupil. There are books, pamphlets, and magazines dealing with every sub- ject in the school curriculum and also many references on outside interests. Whenever a student needs information for his school work or a book for leisure reading, he may come to the library and receive the friendly aid and advice of Miss Mackie, librarian, or her assistant, Mrs. Gardiol, in helping him to get just the material he wants. Since the Dorsey library was established, five years ago, it has been adding new books to its shelves at the rate of almost one thousand a year, bringing the total up to five thousand twenty-three. Of this number, about two thousand are of a popular nature such as fiction, history, travel, and biography. Since last June, half of the new books were of this sort. The library has recently been enriched by the contribution of twenty-nine books on American history and government from the Greayer Clover Post of the American Legion. Through the teachers. Miss Mackie determines the type of books the students want and usually tries to include them when ordering new ones. With the fine money she has been able to purchase about ninety books, including such best sellers as Berlin Diary and Inside Latin America. Besides serving the individual, the library accommodates classes coming up as groups for research and study. With the help of accur- ate card catalogues and conveniently classified sections of books, the students are able to find their material quickly and easily. A year ' s course in Library Science is taught by Miss Mackie in which the students learn to use books and libraries intelligently, and to develop the ability to judge and enjoy good literature. Aurora Gardiol and Annette Mackie FACULTY — Daisy Newby, Hazel Linder, Mvia Eator, Clarita Neher, Sylvia Ford, Margaret Eckstein. French, Spanish, and Latin classes constitute the Language Department of Dorsey High School. This department is headed by Miss Daisy Newby. In studying a foreign language one may come to understand mere fully the point of view of that country, and one may regard with a broader mind Its policies and actions. Miss Newby, Mrs. Eckstein, Mrs. Ford, and Mrs. Linder are the teachers of Spanish. Because of the Spanish background and influence here in Los Angeles, a knowledge of commercial Spanish is very useful; and due to the increasingly close contact between South America and the United States, a person wi ' h an adequate knowledge of Spanish will have many business opportunities opened to him. The French language has both beauty and prac- tical value. It IS to be remembered that during the last war, German was barred from all schools. After the war, there was a shortage of people speaking German for the foreign offices and diplomatic serv- ices. The French language is now in danger of undergoing the same neglect. We are apt to lose sight of its practical value, but French remains the language of diplomacy and culture. Miss Eaton and Miss Cabell instruct in French. The Latin language is valuable as a background for other tongues, and many fields, such as the medical and dental professions, require a knowledge of this language Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Neher are our instructors of Latin. The purpose of clubs associated with this depart- ment IS to bring students of the same language together socially and to stimulate interest in the languages. Every year the clubs jointly hold an International Banquet. El Circulo Espanol is sponsored by Mrs. Ford; the president for S ' 41 was George Elser, and for W ' 42 was Anne Kravitz. The president of La Petite Academie Francaise for S ' 41 was Gloria Greene, and for W ' 42, was Blossom Bernstein. This club is sponsored by Miss Eaton. Renovatores Rerum Romanorium is sponsored by Mrs. Neher. James Hart was president for S ' 4], and Pat Rush for W ' 42.

As the subjects offered by the Mathematic s De- partment cover every practical and preparatory phase of applied and advanced mathematics, it is evident that this department comes in contact with every student in the school before he graduates and helps him to form a suitable math background which will be applicable to the kind of work he will do after graduation. in order to fulfill the growing demands for mathe- matical knowledge in the defense activities, which in the light of present-day developments is gaining increased importance, one of the primary goals of the Mathematics Department is to equip boys with adequate knowledge for entrance into the various branches of the service. With a proper background their opportunities for advancement into commis- sions and favorable placement in training schools are increased. In addition to this, a sense of personal re- sponsibility usually is a result of sincere work in the required subjects. This trait itsel f is outstanding in character building which is necessary in main- taining unity and strength in government. Supplementing the defense activities carried on by people in the services are the fields of industry which are producing the machinery vital to the na- tional war effort. To those students who are in- terested in being active in the production works the opportunity is presented whereby they can take a fitting math course which they will find helpful in preparing them for their future specialized mech- anized work. Another important group of students which is reached by the Mathematics Department in its all- encompassing program by which every student is benefited is that of the commercial graduates who intend to enter non-technical work upon graduation. For these students training in practical mathematics IS given in the way of Industrial Arts. The courses offered by the various shops at Dorsey provide a number of interesting subjects for those not going into mechanical fields of work. The newest division of the Math Department is senior mathematics which was opened a year ago. This last contact made with the students is to see that each graduate may have sufficient training in the fundamental mathematical skills in order to be able to take part in business life after graduation. It is in the Al 1 semester that each student takes a diagnostic test by which the adequacy of his pre- vious math training is determined; for those stu- dents who do not make the necessary score, the opportunity is provided whereby they can work to overcome their difficulties by attending this class. The outstanding student activity in this depart- ment, the Slide Rule Club, has as its chief aim the learning of the operation of the Slide Rule, and in- dispensable instrument in higher mathematics.

Classes in chemistry learn formulas, specific com- munity problems, and work professional experiments in the laboratory The course is one of the most interesting and useful in school; this is proved by the fact that it is the most popular subject in the elective group. Studying the foods which are best for the student, care of the teeth, and, in general, keeping in the best possible condition is explained in Life Science In Life Science 1 1 structure of plants and animals, the various groups and classifications of each, pest control, and the easiest manner in which to get the best results in crops and gardens are given. The physiology classes specialize in the study of the structure of the human body. They do this by lowing numerous drawings, and various models, the functions of the different organs of the ire explained, and an appreciation of the wonderful structure of the human body is developed. Physical Science is perhaps the most well-rounded subject of the science group. It is practical for those going on to college and extremely useful for  those who aren ' t. It brings in the best points of all the sciences and works them into a program de- signed to help in solving many of the problems which will arise later in life. SCIENCE CLUB: Row 1 — Rush. RIchter, Rush, Haughton. McMillan, Moran. Brayton. Cogan. Row 2 — Bahme, Lyon, Fresco, Garcia. Weston, Seid, Griswold. Extending the frontiers of science in the fields of astronomy, biology, physiology, chemistry and other research and scientific endeavors will un- doubtedly be the future of many of Dorsey ' s science majors. In order to enable our students to be up with the times and in tune with the various changes brought about by this present emergency, we have arranged our program and planned our courses to fit in. Our department takes into careful consideration the fact that not all of the students taking science will go on to a scientific career or to college. There- fore the things that are taught tend to aid the stu- dent by giving him a scientific attitude. Science Department Head Mr. George Zigenfuss r -S? ' .- The principles of poise and self-confidence to guarantee social success in future contacts are taught by Mrs. Annice Moore in Drama I and Drama II. Students learn to think and listen as members of an audience. The acquisition of a basis for judgment of plays and movies proves to be of definite value. Posture is accented; voice technique is stressed; class cooperation is emphasized. The production class is the goal of the advanced drama students. The casts of the plays presented to the entite student body and community are usually selected from this group. The Dorsey Community Players, which forms the production class, was headed by Arthur Friebel and Bob Winquist. The splendid coaching of Mrs. Moore is inspiring to her drama students. It is due rgely to her excellent instruction that we have such an outstanding drama department Dorsey High School. Overshadowing all humorous productions of the past. The Poor Nut was enthusi- astically acclaimed by Dorsey and the community. John Miller, The Poor Nut, tries unsuccessfully to attain entrance to a popular fraternity. It is not until two pretty co-eds vie for his attentions that the male students take notice of him. Talented Jack Root characterized the brilliant but timid student who works in the university book store on the U S ' C. campus. As his fellow-worker. Marilyn Carlson and Shirley Wallace portrayed Margie Blake. Pat Reeb and Shirley Rouleau en- acted the role of the siren from Stanford. Jerry Rosenthal was especially entertaining as Magpie Welch, the S.C. yell leader. Roy Stone and Bud Brubaker were the first of the Dorsey faculty to perform in a student drama. They realistically ap- peared as S.C. instructors. This play was t he proud contribution of the Senior Class of W ' 42. Subtle satire, class snobbery, and delicate ro- mance are masterfully intermingled in Helen Jerome ' s dramatization of this classic gem of Eng- lish literature. Pride and Prejudice was the most elaborately staged play the Dorsey Community Players have ever presented. As the proud Elizabeth Bennett, Shirley Wallace exhibited her excellent dramatic ability. Jack Root in the role of the arrogant Mr. Darcy was outstand- ing. They were ably assisted by Gerald Schuman, Pat Reeb, Dorothy Crown, and Dawne Hall, as the members of the Bennett family. Dorsey High School again participated in the annual Shakespearean Festival held at Occidental College, Our entrants were Stanley Kissel and Sophie Galperin, who competed in the tragedy sec- tion, and John McEwen and Rebecca Cohen in the comedy.

Lauren Rhoades. The primary purpose of the Music Department is to train the students iri the fundamentals of music and music appreciation which can be used as a foundation for their future interests. They are ably guided in this by Mrs. Healy, Mrs. Vincent, and Mr. Rhoades. Music of some kind plays a large part in every- one ' s life. In school, through the music appreciation classes, we learn to enjoy the finer music. For those who are preparing for a musical career, there is instruction in harmony, theory, instruments, and voice. Students receive valuable experience by participating in the Orchestra, Band, Choir, Boys ' Glee Club, and Girls ' Glee Club. For the enjoyment of those who really like good music, the department sponsors a music listening hour during the noon period every other week. Students may request their favorite records to be played From the Girls ' Glee Club, a small group has been formed known as the Harmonettes. They are always on hand ready to give pleasure with their musical ability. The finest musicians from the orchestra have been organized into the String Quartet and the Wood- wind Quintet. They furnish entertainment for teas, P T.A, meetings, and assemblies. At the annual contest sponsored by the Southern California Band and Orchestra Association, the Dorsey String Quar- tet received First Division, Superior Rating. Participation in all of these groups gives the students valuable experience and training which will greatly aid them if they intend to enter this type of work after graduation.

During the football season the boys drill hard every day to achieve the matchless perfection of their intricate routines, with the result that this is one of the finest school bands in the city. This instruction helps them in later life by enabling them to grasp instructions quickly and accurately, and to work well in coordination with others. The Dorsey orchestra is the backbone of all musical presentations given by the school. This organization was one of the primary factors in making the Christmas Contata and the Talent Show such a big success. It is composed of forty-five talented Dorsey musicians under the direction of Mr. Lauren Rhoades. Parttcipation in the orchestra gives these students an opportunity to serve their school through their musical ability. This experience will aid them in their future careers as professional musicians and composers. The Music Club provides a splendid opportunity for those students interested in fine music to listen to and perform music for their own pleasure. At their meetings they hold interesting discussions upon the relative merits of swing and popular music.

This organization, which can include only twenty mem- bers, gives Dorsey musicians and music lovers a .chance to attend Philharmonic concerts and to be- come better acquainted with the Philharmonic Orchestra. The Music Department has contributed more to the cultural enjoyment of the student body than any other department in the school. During the 1941 -42 semester, its outstanding presentations were the Christmas program and the Talent Show. A new type of musical offering given at Dorsey was the cantata, When the Christ Child Came, by Clokey, performed at the annual Christmas program. The entire music department, including the com- bined glee clubs, choir; and orchestra, with Mrs. Betty Ann Rhoades as guest harpist, participated in the program under the direction of Mr. Lauren Rhoades, assisted by Miss Mary Troutwein. A beau- tiful cathedral window was designed by Mary Ellen Rush for the background. GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB: Row One — Zaslowsky, Renauld, Kamboor, Lcven, Stewart, Kessel.

J h oJf Another first introduced by the music depart- ment was the spectacular talent show, Don Revue of ' 42 The cream of Dorsey ' s talent was featured against an elaborate stage set designed by Mrs. Bulpitt. The review, which was a formal affair, revolved around the Ansticrats of Rhythm arrayed in tuxedos. The show included acrobatics, voice, instrumental, and dance solos, and monologues, climaxed by the beautiful Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody act. The entire production was under the direction of Mr. Lauren Rhoades, assisted by Miss Jean Vincent, Mrs. Geraldine Healy, Bob Winquist, student manager, and Marjorie Riley, Commissioner of Fine Arts. The Dorsey swing band, Aristocrats of Rhythm, is composed entirely of students. It is under the direction of a student leader with Mrs. Healy as faculty advisor. The leader for W ' 42 was Jimmie Crapser who handed the baton down to his brother Wayne as maestro for S ' 42. The Aristocrats per- form at all school dances and many assemblies. The Girls ' and Boys ' Glee Clubs give all boys and girls with fine voices a chance to participate in a musical or- ganization. Both of these groups have a valuable opportunity to entertain the student body at assemblies. The Dorsey Choir is a mixed group of boys and girls who enjoy singing. The students who have ability to sing may join the Choir to fill the one semester music requirement. It serves the school in the same capacity as the glee clubs. These groups have contributed greatly to the enjoyment of Dorsey ' s musical pre- sentations.   ti t f ' -i-x il I FACULTY— Edna Jones, Roy Stone, Verna Phillips, Henrietta Bulpitt, William Heath. The primary function of Dorsey ' s art department is not to develop in the students individua! talent so much as to enable them to step into the professional world with a finer feeling for beauty. This is carried out by offering many subjects to encourage all creative abilities. The department feels that in order to develop this sense of values one must be able to discuss the work of art, to know the meaning the artist was trying to put across, and to try his hand at drawing and painting in an effort, perhaps, to over undiscovered talent. preliminary training goes to make better buyers out of nger men and women of tomorrow, for art is important in nd the department strives to impress upon the student how ■S sense of beauty everything he does will have a greater me e drawing classes give the student actual training in the field he is interested in and develop his technique. The drawings are criticized, and rapid improvement is noticeable. In the design class organization and composition are emphasized, and this greatly aids the individual to organize his business or perhaps her home to its best advantage. Actual photographic methods and techniques make photography an extremely useful and helpful class for those interested in going on to a photo- graphic career or continuing an entertaining hobby. A club that is the product of the art department is the Dorsey Daubers, for those students who especially interested in drawing DAUBERS— Row 1.

The courses are by no means limited to girls alone. There is a boys ' cooking class which gives to the boys a taste of kitchen art; then if mother or wife or sister is away, they need not starve. Many beautiful materials are made in the weaving class. There are a few looms which are used by the girls. Even fine linens are woven. Leather and metal goods are tooled in the hand craft classes, and knitting is taught. This gives the students a chance to use their hands. In the home management classes, budgeting is taught. Through these classes, a knowl- edge of dietetics is attained, and each year the sewing classes sponsor a fashion show to give fhe girls some idea of good taste in high school clothing. Mrs Pierce is the sponsor of the Needle Twisters. The purpose of this club is to maintain an interest in knitting, crocheting and embroidering, and to foster friendship between the girls of Dorsey. The president for the fall semester was Aleen Olson and she was succeeded by Donyll McEathron. The club has been active in Red Cross Work. NEEDLE TWISTERS: Row I— Price, Pollack, Fox, Roth, Cooper.

The Commercial Department is one of the most important de- partments in the school due to the fact that it trams a large per- centage of the students in the skills so that they are able to step into a job immediately after graduation. The students are prepared to be stenographers, bookkeepers, salesmen, and clerks under the able direction of Mr. Addison and his competent staff. By maintaining a business atmosphere in their classes, the commercial majors will find It easy to adapt themselves to the routine of the business world. The commercial students have their own club — the Chamber of ■Commerce. At their meetings they discuss present-day business prob- lems, have interesting demonstrations, and entertain prominent speakers of the business world. The stenographic majors receive thorough training in shorthand, typing, business correspondence, office practice, and business law. This course consists of two years of typing, two years of shorthand, one year of bookkeeping, one year of office practice, and one term each of business correspondence and business law. Stenographic students receive valuable experience in operating the various office machines, taking dictation and transcribing their shorthand notes into attractive letters, mimeographing bulletins and announcements, and operating the switchboard. T hey are under the supervision of Mrs. Myers, Mis. Scott, Miss Rolfe, and Miss McGuire. I solicit advertisements for the school paper, and are the salesmen of the Dugout. Mr. Addison and Miss Brown instruct the book- keeping majors. These pupils learn how to handle the different types of books necessary in various businesses. The first two years of this course are devoted to Bookkeeping I, II, III, and IV. During the last year, practical experience is received by taking care of the student body bookkeeping and other related duties in the Business Office. Business law, which is very necessary for every student intending to go into commercial occupations, is taught by Mr. Walker.

I The Physical Education Department brings to every girl the opportunity to develop her mental and physical abilities to a greater capacity. Numerous skills are fos- tered which will provide enjoyment for the future rec- reational activities. One of the important aims of the Department is to conserve and build the health of all the girls and this is being done through active participation in sports and corrective exercises. A cleanxompetitive spirit carried through all the sports results in teamwork and good sportsmanship, and initiative and leadership are de- veloped. Good morale and fun are the results of the wholesome and satisfying work of the Physical Education Department. Due to the fine work of the instructors, Miss Clarke, Head of the Department, Miss Graber, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Bates, we have the encouragement as well as the facilities necessary to bring about the aims of the Department. The purposes of the Girls ' Athletic Association are to build sound and vigorous bodies, teach and promote physi- cal activities for recreation, and to encourage wholesome social contacts. The sports offered to the girls incorporate the aims of the G.A A., and provide for enjoyable playtime. Miss Grabsr, as sponsor, serves as an inspiring guide for the girls. During the fall semester, Pat Gray headed the G.A.A. ' s many activities. Its participation in two play- days given by Fairfax and Banning High Schools brought a closer relationship between the girls of the different schools. Gerry Keele, Vice-President; Dorothy Truesdell, Secretary, and Ruth Mills, Treasurer, assisted in making one of the most successful terms in G.A. A. history. Volleyball and speedball, headed by Lois Seaman and Bessie Siatos, respectively, furnished inter-team competi- tion and encouraged leadership. Jeanne Crider, head of tennis, and Beatrice Kambcrian, head of twosome, di- rected sports which serve to bring out individual ability. In the spring semester, in spite of war-time restric- tions, which cancelled inter-school playdays and night activities, the girls of this organization showed the fine spirit for which they stand, and their accomplishments were many. In May, a very successful playday was held and every- one took part with genuine enthusiasm. Jeanne Crider, President, and her cabinet, Maxine Edwards, Vice-Presi- dent; Lois Seaman, Secretary, and Virginia Cuthill, Treas- urer, were largely responsible for the well-coordinated activities. The team sports played were basketball and baseball headed by Hazel Johnson and Barbara Henigar, respect- ively. Betty Mae Calvin and Audrew Murfin directed the individual sports of archery and badminton. I TWELFTH GRADE: Row 1— Kraut, Sager, Griswald, Crider, Masure, Brcwn, Siatos, Katzev, Rodd, Lindblad.

The development of sound bodies and the cultiva- tion of sportsmanship and fair play in the boys of Dorsey, and also the development of the individual ' s mind to think clearly, accurately, and quickly are main objectives of the Physical Education Depart- ment. Learning consideration for others, fairness, re- sponsibility, and other qualities that tend to develop good citizenship is encouraged by participation in many different types of physical activities and sports, including football, baseball, gymnastics, ten- nis, golf, handball, track and field, archery, and badminton. Body building exercises are given to all classes daily, as they aid in putting the boys in a better state of physical fitness. Elementary commands, such as those used in the army, are given to get the boys in order, preparatory to taking roll. Then the class IS broken down into groups and inter-mural sports are held. The broad and general aim of the boys ' Correc- tive Physical Education is to aid in obtaining good posture and the correction of the several defects found in bodily alignment. Another objective is maintaining a corrective program that will carry the weaker boys with their postural defects through the formative stage in their physical development. • t-: A T L E T I C S -!.-. Many boys in corrective spend several semesters doing the specialized exercises. However, the work of the student who desires a perfect posture is only begun at school. Just as important is the carry- over at home and away from school when the stu- dent should do additional work and at all times be conscious of his posture. Endeavoring to help as much as possible to fur- ther the National Defense Program, First Aid classes have been formed; the purpose of which is to give the boys elementary instructions on how to adminis- ter immediate and temporary aid. Also all Senior A boys have taken first period gym in order to ob- tain a basic understanding of army drill. This will prove extremely beneficial to those about to enter the armed forces. The Managers Club members merit much credit and receive little recognition for the vital work they do. No football, baseball, or basketball game, track or gym meet would be possible without them, as they see to it that all equipment is in its best possible condition and take care of it during and after contests. This semester a new method has been inaugu- rated to discover the amount of headway the boys have gained through the department ' s program. A physical fitness program has been worked out. The events include the one mile walk, running con- tinuously for five minutes, running broad jump, fif- teen foot rope climb, push-up, shot put, dodging run, high kick, bar vault, and headstand for time. The test is given at the beginning of the semester and at the end. The various records are compared and give concrete proof of how much the student has improved during the course of the semester.

President S ' 42 I An important honorary group at Dorsey High School is the Knights Organization. The sponsor of this group is the boys ' vice-prin- cipal, Mr. Robert Kelly. The boys are selected for membership according to their outstanding leadership, scholarship, and service records. Learning to accept responsibilities, helping others, and getting along with their fellow-men are some of the experiences gained by the boys while they are members of the Knights Organization. These things will carry over into Jheir future life and help them in the business and social world. Two of the many important services that are rendered to the school by this organization include acting as official hosts to the schools ' visitors, also acting as advisors to the 10th grade students. The purpose of the Knights is to increase student body activities for boys, and to serve the school in any manner which shall best promote the interests of the students as well as those of the faculty. Shortly after the club was formed Service to Others was adopted as the official creed. It is carefully understood by the members that the actions of an individual or a group belonging to the club reflects upon the whole institution.

The girls are selected by the older members of the society according to their scholarship, school attend- ance, school spirit, and ability to get along with others. The practical and worthwhile experience in accepting responsibilities that the girls get from their membership in the Dorsey Ladies, will be carried over into later life to make them better hostesses, and help them in the busi- ness world. This group of girls serves Dorsey in all ways possible and represents the school in all its contacts with the public. They try to establish a precedent to be admired and followed by the students, and also to encourage leadership and cooperation The organization renders special services to the school including guidance to the B-10 girls and ushering for the Parent Teachers Association meetings and all girl assemblies. At the beginning of each semester the Dorsey Ladies sponsor a B-10 Conference. At this meeting all members pick ten of the girls They talk to these girls about personal problems, program of studies, school spirit, clubs and organizations, and they follow their progress on through their other terms of schooling. A great event of the semester is the B-10 new girls party given by this organization to promote friendship and understanding of the school among the new arrivals.

Tri-Y, Triangle organizations and the Hostess Club The Tri-Y organization is reserved for girls Its main purpose IS to face life squarely and to uphold the ideals of the Christian faith The Tri-Y is divided up into these sections the Delta Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Zeta. The Tri-Y girls usher at aud-calls and do much of the school ' s Red Cross work The ideals of the Hi-Y are much the same as those for the Tri-Y, to maintain high standard of Christian character The Hi-Y has two divisions, the regular Hi-Y and the 28th St Hi-Y. The purposes of the Triangle Club are to further co- operation among students and to create respect and school spirit in the student body. The boys usher, care for the triangles, and, among other duties, put up rises for dances The purpose of the Hostess Club is to serve at all banquets, luncheons, and teas given at the school The girls are taught fundamental rules for serving and table setting The members of these organizations typify the co- operative spirit and willingness to help expressed by the entire student body.

The first point stressed in the classrooms was that studies continue, not as usual, but with even more ef- fort, for it is important that each student equip him- self so that he may be a valuable contributing factor to the national effort. The high school student must regard himself as grown-up; he must think and act so that he may be considered a mature adult, capable of assuming the responsibilities of an adult. be fire wardens, first aid administrators, andjecreation leaders The fire wardens have a fully equipped fire truck, which may be pushed to any spot on the campus. They have received complete instructions in the cor- rect procedure in putting out an incendiary bomb and different types of fires. First Aid stations have been set up at strategic points To keep up morale and pre- vent panic, the recreation leaders supply games and songs to the various classes, and each building has its squad of door guards and a messenger. To be better equipped to serve the school and the community, the entire faculty enrolled in a six-week irst aid course. At its completion, all passed the mmm4fi SS a|--, regular test and were entitled to a First Aid Certificate. The school is also prepared to serve by acting as an emergency food and shelter center. Arrangements have been made with the P.T.A. for cooking assistants, dormitory mothers for night shelters in the building, and nurses ' aids. The student body has been contributing materially to the de- fense effort by making stretchers in the shops, knitting and rolling bandages in the various girls ' clubs, by conserving and using less expensive school supplies, and through buying defense stamps from the Business Office. As a result of all these preparations, Dorsey is no longer a place of learning only, but an important and vital contributor to the national war effort. -m, first,  id clans in acTOh — - ? r TSUn ! . PUBLICATIONS I THE CENTRAL COORDINATING STAFF, composed of Sylvia Butman, Barbara Spaulding, Marjorie Riley, James McGregor, Irene Kauffman, and Helen Gollm, who have worked all year, and Phpllis Mathews, Helen Struhar and Leonard Heller, members of the group for the first semester only edited the 1942 Circle. Under the supervision of their faculty advisor, Mrs. Verna Phillips, who gave them invaluable assistance and support for a successful yearbook, these students energetically worked out the Circle, selecting a timely theme, and generally planning the make-up, including amount of copy, art, photography, and measurements, and the section and page arrangements. After much careful thought and effort on the part of the staff, a theme was planned which would truly illustrate the aim of Dorsey ' s educational program which is to prepare the students for the future, The art and journalism staffs have carried this theme through in every way. This year, in order to more evenly distribute student and faculty work on the Circle, a complete new organi- zation was formed. Individual staffs carried out the work of their respective departments under the supervision of faculty members. The coordinating staff visited printing and lithography plants and studied over one hundred annuals before making their decision to produce the 1942 Circle as a lithographed rather than a printed book This is the first Dorsey annual carried out in this manner and as a result of the change in production, this year ' s book has larger photographed areas and color used in a style financially prohibitive under the old printed method. Spaulding, Kauffman, Gollin, Mrs. Phillips, Butman V ' As Editor-in-Chief, Sylvia Butman worked long hours, generally supervising the progress of the staffs in order to produce an outstanding annual. Phyllis Mathews, senior class representative of the fall semester, covered senior layouts and sched- uled senior pictures All small sketches in the yearbook were drawn by Barbara Spaulding, who, with Mar|orie Riley, covered general responsibilities of layout, pasting and arrangement of the book in addition to coordinating art and photog- raphy staffs Ed Arimond did fine art work on the division pages and layout. Fred Stevens was responsible for senior emblems and worked on general layout. The cover was designed by Joe Tiep who also worked on the layout. Ruth Piltzer and Beulah Ellis covered picture assignments, and together with Irene Kauffman set up type requirements and esti- mated type Helen Gollin and James MacGregor worked on the general assignments As the repre- sentative for Miss Slykhous, Betty June Pierce worked on both the coordinating and clerical staffs. Sylvia Butman Editor-in-Chief THE JOURNALISM STAFF of the Circle was a group of seven selected students, without any previous experience, who en- deavored to distinguish this book through Its informative copy. They had numerous assignments besides writing all the copy, as all identifications and proof-reading were their responsibilities, also. Under the capable supervision of Miss Anne Cabell, they strived to emphasize the theme of the future Art Weiss and Al Schick wrote chiefly on boys ' activities, including their sports The dedication copy on Home Arts, and the Foreign Language Department were by Blossom Bernstein. The sections on Service and Senior Bees were covered by Selma Saturensky. Shirley Bockall ' s principal assignments concerned music and defense. Anne Kravitz and Edythe Kraut collaborated on girls ' athletics and student government; while Anne Kra- vitz wrote up the English, Social Studies, and Mathematics Departments, and Annual Staff, Edythe Kraut contributed copy on the administration, senior sections, and Drama Department. I THE PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF, under Mr. Roy Stone ' s competent guidance, can be commended for the excellent pictures which compose a major part of the Circle. After the camera crew had snapped the photographs and the printing and develop- ing had taken place, the pictures were measured to the conformity required. Responsible for all the typing of copy, THE CLERICAL STAFF was an invaluable aid to and a necessary part of the Circle organization. They arranged, under Miss Esperance Slykhous ' excellent direction, all the picture schedules, and handled the cover names, and the distribution of the Circle. THE PRODUCTION STAFF, under Mr Allison McNay ' s fine management, printed the captions and all the copy after it had been set by the linotype machine. • ■ ' ; . ; «ii.

Even though they may never enter the field of journal- ism, these students have had the experience of writing features, editorials, and news stories, proof-reading, copy- reading, and making up the paper, in addition to learning the importance of working in harmony with their fellow reporters, meeting deadlines, and keeping a clear head while working under pressure. A sense of independence, service, and cooperation is developed in these students who learn by actually doing. 1 . jn I R Chief editorial positions have been capably handled both semesters by girls. In the winter semester, Virginia Reed attempted to make the Dorseygram the center of campus news and succeeded in interesting the student body in reading a paper written in a lively, entertaining manner. Hannah Bloom edited the Dorseygram in the spring, and by means of cuts, features, and boxes en- deavored to present an unbiased publication that would interest students in all grades. In editing the Dorseygram for the winter term, Virginia was assisted by Hal Werner and George Elser, together with Dons Greenthal on the feature page and Mike Mazmanian who handled the sports page. Hannah had Mark Nevill and Sylvia Fox as her associates, with Dale Millman editing the feature page and Bob Hough editing the sports page. Shirley Foreman did a fine job of Ex- change Editor for the entire year, and Shirley Jenkins was News Release Editor the latter term, succeeding Hannah Bloom in that capacity, before she became Editor- in-Chief. Innovation of the term was the addition of Calvin Sweet as Make-up Editor.  - . . -!L . ' ' ■■ Hr . n, Becker, Antabliii Appleman, Seigal, Bloom- Jenkins om. Barber, Be- SPORTOGRA During the past four years the SpvXtogram has provided the official athletic program for Dorsey high school Finding the sports specta- tors unable to enjoy the games because of their lack of knowledge as to the names of the players, the Dorseygram sponsored the idea of having a small papsr published to enable everyone to enioy and understand the games. Upon the editor and his associates lie the difficult responsibility of compiling the names and numbers of the players both from Dorsey and the visiting team. The Sportogram con- tains the latest information, and, distributed on the day of the event, features the view- points of the students and coaches. Space is also allotted on each edition so that the score may be recorded. All of this greatly aids the student to follow the game with ease Izzy Pearlberg edited the W ' 42 sports paper, ably assisted by Norm Linder. There was a complete coverage of all football games. Norm Linder continued Izzy Pearlberg ' s fine work as Editor-in-Chief, and was given valu- able aid by Tom Ctement and Art Weiss. Base- ball, basketball, and track were the chief sports in the write-ups. Printed by the Graphic Arts Department, the Sportogram is a vital part of our journalis- tic actjvities. JO Weiss, Linder and Clement TRIAL FLIGHTS TRIAL FLIGHTS BOARD— Kissel. Gold, Alley. Elliott, Struhjr, and Bloom  . Trial Flights, which is published annually, is one of the undertakings that signifies Dorsey ' s endeavor to encourage students in their individual interests. The booklet accepts all contributions from the stu- dents, regardless of grade level, in poetry and prose. It IS limited to a certain number of selections, as it IS only the best compositions that are accepted. In order to approach this problem fairly and without bias, a group of students representing the various English departments read each selection and then collaborate on their findings and choose those that in their opinions are the best. Then a committee of teachers select what they deem to be the finest, and the two groups together decide the selections that are to be published. The entire booklet is designed and printed in the Dorsey print shop, thus minimizing the expense in- volved. I . « , . . : ATHLETICS I N Leading Dorsey on through a year in which outstanding sportsmanship and clean competition were goals which Dorsey ever successfully continued to achieve, were our yell leaders, who worked unceasingly to keep school irit and enthusiasm high Yell King Kenichi Rikimaru and his two assis- tants, Ray DeMott and Bob Hanley, worked during the fall. Ray DeMott, yell king of the spring semester, was aided by Arnold Gooze and Phil Barrone. At the games, the yell leaders gained the good will of other schools when the time came for exchange yells and the yell leaders of the two different schools led the opposite side. They were able to put pep into all the yells they formulated so that the teams, supported in this way. could really fight to win and know that their school was behind them. The yell leaders ' training school is sponsored by the yell leaders of each current year. The hopeful yell leaders of the future semester attend this class twice a week. They learn the different yells and how to give them so that everyone who hears them will be instilled with genuine en- thusiasm and interest. Tryouts at the end. of the semester determine the five boys who will be put on the ballot at the time of community elections TROPHIES Dorsey has been a school more interested in the development of the individual in sports, and stimu- lating the spirit of sportsmanship which will stand him in good stfead throughout his ife, than in the idea of winning. Working with this thought in mind, we have nevertheless, been very fortunate in gaming trophies which show our leadership in sports. In addition to winning the Western League Sportsmanship trophy for the second successive time, we have also won championships for the All- city Cross Country team, the All-City B Baseball, the Western League B Track, and the Western League B Football. Another trophy, of which Dorsey can be proud, is- our plaque for attendance at the Shakespearean Festival, held every year at Occidental College. I m . ' V . .

Although the Dorseyites were usually on the bottom end of the score, some consolation was to be had from a lusterless season Ben Pelter, great Don guard, was honored by a place on the first Western League and All-City elevens. This marked the initial appearance of a local cleatster on the first All-City squad Adding further glory to the Dorsey name was Jack Kirby ' s winning of a spot in the All-Western League backfield. The Varsity lined up with Ernie Gustavson and Bud Carley at ends, Wayman Porter and Merle Sorenson at the tackle spots, Ben Pelter and Ed Miller at the guard positions, and Woody Odanaka over the ball In the back- field it was Frank Dragna and Sheldon Caplow at right and left half, respec- tively, Don Allen bucking the line from the fullback post, and Jack Kirby handling the quarterbacking duties. Capable reserves who did much for the Dorsey cause included Ends Odanoka Barkely Gillingham and Chuck Roeder, Tackles Fred Larona and Ted Rhodes, Guard Ed Young, and Backs Chet Brewer, Bob Rogers, Hal Broadway, Dick Allen, and Clem Kressin. A quick review of the season would look something like this: Dorsey 13, Polytechnic 6 — After a scoreless first half, the Don ' s aerial machine clicked twice and overcame an early third period Mechanic tally. Dorsey 6. Washington 14 — The generals tallied at the be- ginning and the end of the ball game, while holding the locals well in back to win by 8 points.

BEE FOOTBALL 1941 will go down in history as the year of Dorsey High ' s first pigskin championship. The accomplishers of this notable feat were the mighty midgets of Coach Bud Brubaker. Featuring the Notre Dame shift of Knute Rockne and the modern T formation, Donhi ' s Bee gridders proved unstoppable from start to finish of the regular league season. Tricky ball handling, hard running, and blocking by the backfield com- posed of Mike Mazmanian at quarter. Max Schumaker at full. Jay Mos- kovitz at left half, and Goro Sasaki at right half, produced a total of 123 points. Particularly deadly were the forward pass combinations of Moskovitz to Sasaki and Moskovitz to sticky-fingered end Al Elliott, So rugged and precise was the play of the lightweight forward wall that when the season came to a close, the total score rung up by all five league opponents was a grand total of seven points.

League frays. Ronnie Burton, ace forward, proved the second highest scorer in the league, though playing with a team which finished in a three-way tie for the cellar spot His efforts were rewarded by a position on the first Vyestern League five and the third all-city outfit Coach Bruce Kidder, newcomer to the Dorsey coaching staff, provided his first Donhi casaba five with a deceptive and fast- breaking attack Still relatively new he took over his assignment and shaped the fellows into a team that proved a difficult adver- sary to all opponents.

The locals ' best performances were their twin wins ever a fairly strong University five The first fracas was a real thriller, with two free throws in the last minutes of play by little forward Morrie Hattem, giving the Dons a 25-2 Bee victory. The repeat triumph over the Warriors also proved far from lacking keen competition, as the lads from the lowlands eked cut another close win. The third and last Dorsey victory took place en the floor of Venice ' s gym, as the Dons fought hard to come out on top of a Gondolier five which earlier in the season had handed the Dons a neat shellacking BEE BASKETBALL Although Dorsey ' s middleweight cagers, like their Varsity brothers, were unable to place in the upper brackets of the league standings, they did, however, prove a difficult obstacle in the path of every opponent. Three times in their ten encounters the local Bees displayed a winning ability, winding up the season on an equal basis with the Varsity — a 300 win average. Twice the scrappy Dons met and conquered the Venice Five, and then, after having suffered a defeat at the hands of Unihi, came back and reversed the trick in the second round of competition. The Bees were sparked offensively by center Johnny McClure and forward Norm Linder, who were credited with having scored the major part of the Donhi tallies, while on the other hand, guards Jim Deuling and Barry Labow, and forward Fred Vv erhly were considered the backbone of the defensive machine Others who also saw much action and showed great potentiality were Floyd Lym;n, Elmer Carl- sen, and Dwain Travis Burton -•SL •■ •:rfr f} -- brf i -t M 5 VARSITY BASEBALL The 1942 edition of Dorsey ' s Var- sity Ball Club, although not quite up to the standards estab- lished by their tremendously good predecessors, were far from being mediocre, as they pounded out six w;n: in ten league efforts. Th Don ' s four losses came two each at the bats of the Hollywood and Fairfax horsehiders, while the locals were twice victorious over University, Venice, and Hamilton Coach Sid Witherow ' s boys chalked up the 25-2 triumph in their second Yankee encounter, among the highest scores ever recorded by a prep outfit. Two of the varsity ' s ace ball players. Outfielder Buster Gal- Braith and Shortstop Jerry Stapp, earned positions on the All- Vv estern League aggregation.

In the fourth annual Dorsey High School Invitational Base- ball Tourney, the Donhi squad was not so successful as it has been in previous years. In their first tourney game the locals were taken by Fremont, who went on to capture the coveted gold cup for the second time Then, after convincing victories over San Pedro and Venice, the Dorseyites met final defeat and elimination at the hands of a good Narbonne club. Much credit for whatever success the Dons achieved this year must go to Coach Witherow, who worked all the year with each boy individually, taking great time and patience to help each iron out his faults and make of himself a credit to the sport. %  ' k Hanley i VARSITY BASEBALL: Row 1— Moskoviti, Hanlcy, Share, Globus, Galbraith, Stapp, Apoian, Miller.

Jack Fort at the third bag, and Jack Kelepan at shortstop. Rounding out the outfield were Phil Reeder, Wendell Smith, and Bill Lamb. TENTH GRADE BASEBALL Dorsey High ' s fledglings of the diamond. Coach Bud Brubaker ' s tenth grade horsehiders, although not a championship outfit, did finish third in the city loop. Catcher Tony Andrioli, Pitcher Bob Willey, First Sacker Cecil Rhodes, second hassock tender Art Mazmanian, Third Baseman Johnny Drabach, and Shortpatcher Fred Grace com- posed the first year men ' s infield The outer gardens were pa- trolled by Duane Travis, Leroy Lewis, and Norm Gouaiihardou Los Ver isoi b felit indl A B The Dons, in league competition, won three ball game while dropping two The losses came at the bats of powerful Los Angeles and Banning, while Dorsey ' s triumphs came in the Venice, Inglewood, and Fremont battles SOFTBALL Coach Walter Larsh ' s Softball men, perennially handicapped by lack of material, managed, nevertheless to pj ' up a good fight with every foe. The Dons, in all of their frays, contest with opponents who get the pick of the school ' j ball players, while Donhi ' s Softball team gets the remainder of the fellows who do not go out for Varsity, Bee, or 10th grade base- ball. In ten league fracases, Donhi won two and tied another in a thrilling 0-0 fifteen-inning affair.

VARSITY TRACK Perhaps the best track team ever to perform in the green and white scanties of Donhi is at dead- line time for the yearbook, about half through with its regular league season. So far, the local cinderburners have taken the measure of Venice ' s Gondoliers 79-25, and the Hamilton Yankees 73-31, while dropping one to Unihi ' s Warriors, sure league champs, 41 -63. Palmer, Broadway, Brewer, and Allen have proved the ma|or satellites in a large field of Dorsey stars. Tom Palmer established new school records in the high jump and 440, leaping 6 ' 4 ' 2 and sprinting the quarter-mile in 52.4. Hal Broadway ' s time of 2:00.3 for the half mile, besides being a new school record, is also the fastest 880 time turned in so far this year by any prep athlete in the city of Los Angeles. Chet Brewer is as yet undefeated in his specialty, the 180 low hurdles, which he has covered in 20,9, a school record time. Don Allen has already made his third letter in track to become Dorsey ' s first three striper in the cinderpath. Don also established a new school standard of 23 1 in the 22C- yard dash. Other consistent Don pointgatherers are Huston in the mile, Barone in the 440, Atkins in the broad jump, Saff.old and Roberts in the high jump, Sanchez in the sprints, and Mondrus and Erickson in the pole vault. i f ;t i« BEE TRACK: Row 1— Mgr, Pinkerton, Dick, Spellman, Draisner, Elournoy, Lentz, Ellitt, Thomscfl, Boyd, Grinnell, Willcutt.

The current crop of light- weights in three previous league encounters has romped to overwhelming victories in each. Dorsey ' s in betweens are paced by diminutive Walt Boyd, speedy sprinter and broad jumper; Les King, equally speedy hurdler and high jumper; Al Elliott, Tom Firmes, and Bill Grinnell, distance aces, and Walt Lentz, strong arm shot putter. Always to be counted on for their share of points are Norm Gerhardt, sprinter and hurdler; Clarence Mqskow, distance runner; Marv Margolies, shot putter; pole vaulters Bill Benjamin and Bill Burroughs, and sprinter and broad jumper Jack Kalejian. CEE TRACK Seeking their second crown in succession and the third in Dorsey ' s history, the local Cee ' s in three league frays have coasted to easy victories. But the quest of the little ones will not prove as uneventful as that of their Bee brothers for m their path lies a potent crew of Hollywood midgets, who, like them- selves, have not yet tasted defeat. Outstanding for the Dons have been Jim Creighton, sprinter; Gordy McKay, shot putter and distance man; Sid Adlin, high jumper; Hardy Jim Gerhardt, hurdler; Smitty Smith, broad jumper; and Lloyd Leonard and Herman Freedman, sprinters. im ,;; o f fS , c o u TRY Coach Allison McNay ' s varsity cross-country men climaxed a season of successes by playing rude hosts in the Dorsey all-city cross-country meet and plac- ng the coveted Helms Foundation gold cup to rest n the Don trophy case. This team, led by ace harriers Tommy Firmes and rving Smith, who usually finished either first or second, and Ray Rodriguez, Sam Harmell, Lan Le- Wand, and Les King, who could always be counted upon to bag their share of points, constituted per- haps the best of some very good Dorsey cross- country aggregations. Completing the Donhi distance running picture was the city-championship winning performance of the 10th graders. Gene Spradling, city 10th grade champ, Bill Grinnell and Stan Stafford paced the fledglings through an undefeated season. The third group of distance runners, Dorsey ' s Bees ,although not quite equilling the championship garnering performances of the Varsity and 10th grade, took a second to the Garfield runners. At the fore for the local B ' s were Lloyd Maddy and Tom Palmer. All in all, this year of cross-country was a huge Donhi success, and no little share of credit is due Coach McNay. f f P f VARSITY SQUAD: Row 1— Lewand, Roth- sfein. Harmell.

I Beginning the season with a squad weakened by the transfer of four top lettermen, Coach Harold C Alley ' s racqueteers came back to compile the best pre-season match record in the short history of Dorsey High School Out of seven practice frays the Dons were victorious in five, their only losses in close 4-3 battles with Fremont and Loyola ' s powerhouse teams. Heading the Donhi forces were Ed Alexander and Don Gilbert, who alternated at the first singles positions First doubles were handled capably by the Victor Adorian- Bill Katz combine. The remainder of the singles spots were filled well by Richard Berman, Itchy Carlson and Al Gorlick. Right behind the first doubles team were Frank Kreitman and Norm Sigal, who met with fine success as Donhi ' s second doubles pair. A full season of Western League matches is expected, and the Dorseyites are counting upon finishing high in the loop standings. Nineteen hundred and forty-two marked the final season of racquet competition for Gilbert, Gorlick, Katz, Carlson, and Sigal, but prospects for the future are extreme- ly promising. To Coach Alley, who devoted his free period and much extra time to the development and betterment of individual players, must be given a major share of credit for this season ' s fine showing of Dorsey ' s tennis team.

G Y CLUB Dorsey High Schc l ' s youthful Atlases, although triumphing in but one of five league gym meets, fared a little better in the Western League finals when they gar- nered a fourth place. For the Dons, Dave Haddock, tumbler extraordinary; Richie Robinson, side horse specialist; Arnie Mendoza, speedy rope climber; and Jack Gladstein, crack free- exercise man, all placed in the league finals. Consistent point gainers for the locals m their league meets were versatile Gene Gregory, who performed on the high bar, long horse, and in the tumbling events; Max Klein, ace tumbler and long horse man; Fred Peck, Joe Denner, and Tom Moxley on the rings; Ed Pollock on the high bar and side horse. Chuck Kick and Kinichi Rickamura in the free-exercise; and Ralph Johnson on the long horse. Under the tutelage of Coach Gerard (in the Navy) Burchard, the tenth and eleventh graders made great strides m the way of improvement, and next semester Dorsey ' s musclemen can be expected to do very well in league competition, A fellow out for gym club receives little in the way of recognition The gymnast is building his body, building it for the future when all his strength will be needed to be of greater service to his country. 8 rvo ■: GYM CLUB: Row 1— Mendoza, Gregor, Had- dock.
