The individual's conduct during his entire four years, that is, his accomplishments and his infrequent and unpleasant ventures into Satan's domain, is recorded by each con- secutive sponsor. A benevolent disposition and an active interest in the student's Welfare are characteristically applied by these competent sponsors to make school as pleasant and profitable as possible to the students of Tilden. l14l

COMPANY COMMANDERS As Tilden prepared to devote its entire effort towards victory, the representatives of our various departments were faced with tre- mendous difficulties. This body was determined that Tilden students should receive the best possible education before induction into the armed services. While academic and technical subjects were re- vised to conform to the wartime requests, many entirely new tech- nical courses were added, such as pre-flight training, a refresher course in mathematics, and one in practical meteorology as applied to navigation. Training in basic military marching and ranger tac- tics was introduced in a vigorous five day a week program designed to toughen the students to withstand the physical strain of a modern war. We commend our thoughtful leaders for their persistent efforts to prepare us for the service of our country.

READING CENTER FOR REFERENCE President Roosevelt said, A war of ideas can no more be won without books than a naval battle can be Won without ships. The book itself is not a very formidable implement: it is a perpetuation of one of the four freedoms, the freedom of expression. It is with this great weapon that we of Tilden have armed ourselves in peace time as a requisite of success and it is with this Weapon that We again arm ourselves for war. Our extensive library, the arsenal of Tilden, has a host of these weapons. Volumes pertaining to aeronautics, engineering, engines and special pamphlets reporting the most recent developments in these fields, as well as the classics and the latest novels, are found in abundance. A fine library staff is headed by Miss Lois Rees, chief librarian replacing Miss Hedenbergh who left us after a long period of praise- worthy service to Tilden, Miss Rees is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Illinois where she received her bachelor's degree. She is capably assisted by Miss Taylor and Miss McCaffrey, who together with many efficient guards, provide the library with the attention necessary to maintain its postion as an arsenal in the War of ideas.
