NO. l. jANUARY, l937 PAGE I9 Grads Make Merry At Park-Central Supper - Dance Tilden Troubadors Swing For Seniors--Dress Clothes Were Optional Contrary to the usual prom, ISO Seniors not only tripped it on the light fantastic toe to the strains of the Tilden Troubadors, but also partook of a supper de luxe at the Park Central Hotel on january 22. Realizing that a supper-dance would be more economical for them and their confreres, the boys on the Prom Committee decided to have that type of an affair, rather than a prom. Formal clothing predominated despite the fact that students could wear either formal or semi-formal dress. Tickets were priced at 53.80 per couple. GRADUATION EXERCISES IANUARY 27: DR.

The students looked still brighter when after the offi- cial period they all appeared with red carnations. Another bright feature of that hectic day was the Red Letter Hop held in the Girls' Gym that evening. Not reveal- ing the secret they had in store, the Senior Class officers very much surprised the seniors when they were presented with red lollypops at the door.

It was estimated that a profit , of S20 was made.

'I'-11? THE SENIOR CLASSIC fi s . By ED KITOGRAD After endeavoring for four years to estab- lish Tilden in the sports world, sixteen ath- letes find themselves about to be graduated. lt is the purpose of this column to record their respective athletic achievements for their chil- dren and their children's children. Topping the list of sports is football. The loss of john Principe, tackle, who was out dur- ing the year because of a toe operation, and Bernie Wallsh, spunky and hard-fighting end, - during the major part of the season proved to be the most important reasons for an unsuccessful campaign. Only once did a Blue and Cray man cross a goal line. That was in the Far Rockaway game when Bob Olden, after having received a short pass from Marty Erdman, raced 60 yards along the sidelines across the enemy's line. However, the lineman claimed that the runner had stepped out of bounds and disallowed the touchdown. ' Outstanding among the athletes are Bob Olden and Marty Erdman, both of whom ran for Class Athlete. Bob is popularly known around the school as the California Flash because of his feats on the cinder paths. He played football at Los Angeles High before coming here. His ability at snaring passes and his fleetness of foot have proved instrumental in preventing our opponents from running up larger scores than they have done. Ever since he emerged from the novice ranks in the Manual meet of january of last year ia runner breaks his novice when he wins his first medall, he has been pounding the cinders in championship style for the Blue and Gray. ln the same month he was a member of the Brooklyn-Queens championship relay squad and a member of the fifth place team in the National Relay Cham- pionship meet. Marty Erdman, the other half of the Erdman to Olden pass- ing combination, served as a quarterback during the entire season. His accuracy at pass throwing and ability to call plays were exhibited favorably time and again when he helped the eleven on sweeping down-field marches. fContinued on Page 231 Page Twenty one
