three .xx X., Zlinrumrh O America, the Youth of the land are comingg They are coming from hall and from campus. In their hearts is the fire of endeavor, In their eyes is the light of courage. They have learned to honor the great of the nation, VVho, in their wisdom and in their devotion to duty, Have nurtured the growth of the stalwart Republic. The blood-stained fields of France have shown them The power of Right, The beauty of Service, The glory of Sacriice. In their hearts is the Dream of the Future, The Dream of the Brotherhood of Man. They are coming, O America, To fashion the fabric of the New Age, To build the Temple of the New Democracy. They, the Youth of our Land, are the Hope of America, And through Her, the Hope of the IVorld. C. E. M

Brhiraiinn Mrs. Susan M. Dorsey was appointed Superintendent of Schools of Los Angeles, California, to succeed Dr. Albert Shiels upon his resignation in the late fall of the year nineteen nineteen. This choice was particularly suitable as Mrs. Dorsey had for seven years served in the capacity of Assistant Sup- erintendent and was thoroughly conversant with the policies of the system and the exacting duties of the office. . Nor had her knowledge of school affairs in this city been confined to that of superintendence. For years Mrs. Dorsey was not only Vice-Principal of Los Angeles High School acting as principal in the absence of that official- but she received valuable training as an instructor in the ranks, having been for some time amember of the teaching force of the same school. She was graduated from Vassar with honors at an early age and served her first appreticeship in the school-room as teacher in that institution. Mrs. Dorsey has followed the progress of events in the educational World with keen enthusiasm and has lent her broad experience to such bodies as the California Teachers Association, Southern Section, of which she was at one time president, and the Council of Education in whose affairs she has taken a very active part. She is a member of the VVoman's University Club of Los Angeles, the Vassar Society and the Phi Beta Kappa. To Mrs. Dorsey, whose example of rare stability of purpose and rich accomplishment is an inspiration to the youth of her city, we, the students of Jefferson High School, dedicate this our Annual of Winter and Summer ,20. four
