Nothing in our World is farther beyond human comprehension than the unpredictable, hidden Future. And so to this inscrutable thing which We cannot fathom, this nebula ot human fantasy and ob- scure adventure, We dedicate our Craftsman. Who knows, perhaps in the dim Future some former Techman Will deliver thundering ora- tions from the floors of Congress! The Future is sure to bring glory to Tilden thru achieve-r ments of her former students in Science, in Art and in the World ot Sports. So, hats oil Tech- menl, Let's salute. the grand and glorious Future! ,-fr' wx I L 2 ., ,Q1 ,, CCNTENTS FACULTY SENIORS TILDEN TOWN ACTIVITIES CLUBS ATHLETICS FEATURES Dr. C. I. Lunak A technical high school needs a pilot capable of guiding boys at a crucial time in their lives. He must understand the character of youth, appre- ciate the value of technical training in this machine age, and have a back- ground ot cultural knowledge in academic subjects. Such a man is our principal, Dr. Charles I. Lunak. When he came to Tilden in l936 he began a general campaign for cleaning up the school and improving scholarship. Pts a result Tilden's reputation today ranks high in the Chicago school system. Dr. Lunak is a man We could Well emulate. Miss Dorothy Sass With deepest regret Tilden has forfeited one of its most cherished faculty members, Dorothy Sass, assistant principal. For thirty-three years she was the mainstay whose fairness, thoughtfulness and courage made Til- den's success what it is today. Miss Sass came to Tilden in Ianuary 1907 to teach physiography. Four years later she became assistant principal and served under four principals. Besides helping to govern the policy and operation of Tilden, she was organizer and first sponsor of the C.l.C. and served as principal from May 1917 until October l9l8. Tilden wishes with deep sincerity that Miss Sass continues to have the happiness and success that we hope were hers during her serviceable years at Tilden. Administration In order to secure for its students the fullest amount of education from its facilities, a school must be a smooth functioning institution. This responsibility falls into the able hands of the Administrative Staff composed of Dr. Lunak, Principal: Miss Wright, Assistant Principal. and Mr. H. O. Myers, Superintendent of Shops, Who fulfill their duties efficiently and con- scientiously. Under their guidance Tilden has continued to graduate the type of competent young men for which it has a just reputation. To attain this Well rounded status, the student must be free from complications in his school life. The Adjustment Office under Mr. Strassman is not only for this purpose but also for the direction of students Who need help and guidance in their courses, studies and act- ivities. The Placement Office, under the Supervision of Mr. Williamson, registers all senior stu- dents who desire employment after graduation and Works in conjunction with the Director of Occupational Research of the Board of Education and the Illinois State Employment Ser- vice. Collaborating with the Administrative Staff and all departments of the school, the Library. under the able direction of Miss Ethel Hedenbergh, serves as an integral part of Tilden life All of the administrative groups would fail to function so efficiently if it were not for the cheerful clerks who serve as their conscientious assistants.

At times we have seemed thankless and difficult but we like to think that can be blamed on our youth and inexperience. For as we now check our bless- ings we feel that we have been a fortunate group. Our main good fortune lies in the opportunity we have had to gain im- portant information in varied fields and in the splendid group of teachers who have made it possible for us to grow mentally and morally in our so- journ here. Since this is a technical high school we have been given fundamental training in shops and in mechanical drawing which will aid us definitely in the industrial world. In mathematics and science we have learned me- thods, natural laws, and careful techniques that will be of benefit to us. Our classes in social sciences, English and foreign languages have given us a broader understanding of the world in which we live and a keener appreciation of the best it has to offer. The courses in music and art have contributed to our culture while the gymnasium and R.O.T.C. activities have made us realize the value of strong and stalwart bodies, have help- ed to develop us physically and to make us realize the value of good sportsmanship and fine cooperation. The benefits We have gained from our faculty are not limited to in- struction alone: for in their kindly attitudes, deep understanding, and co- operation, our teachers have offered us a friendliness and a splendid standard of living that will always be a guide for us. They have sponsor- ed valuable activities that we have enjoyed throughout our four years here. No matter what our interests or hobbies we have been able to de- velop them under careful supervision. Scarcely a senior has failed to join an extra curricular activity and thus become acquainted with faculty members after school when the formal atmosphere of the class room is discarded. Many teachers at Tilden give hours of time after school to these interests of the students. In looking toward the future we feel thankful that we have had four well rounded years under the guidance of such an able faculty. We wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their fine influence over us. If we become outstanding citizens, noted for our work in industry, science, arts, politics or sports, we will be doing only just credit to the training we received in our four years at Tilden Technical High School. l I I I I 2 I A ,V.,,,.

If your picture appears no where else in the Craftsman it's here in Tilden Town. A flick of the pages and the entire student body appears before you. ln this new section of your Craftsman you will find every walk of Tilden life depicted. The first sixteen pages are devoted to pictures of the eight different classes from 4-A down. This is the first time in many years that the Craftsman has carried pictures of every student in the school. Besides pictures of all the classes Tilden Town is chock full of candid shots taken of Tech students while they went about the daily routine of school life. p Hours can be spent in examining these pictures and recalling the time spent so profitably while engaged in-the daily grind as many call it. The future will see you open this section of your Craftsman many times. But we say no more. As you look the life of Tilden will unfold before your eyes. Turn the pages of Tilden Town slowly and reminisce. 4-A's There they stand, the 4-A's, the pride and joy of Tilden. Larger than any other class that has ever left the halls ot knowledge of ye olde Tilderl, this class steps into the future armed with facts glean ed after tour years of hard mental labor. Smiles light their innocent faces. Smiles that will be altered when they step from their Alma Mater's sheltering Wing. But buck up seniors, you've had a background of training that should place you among the highest. Go out and bring fame and glory to the spacious halls of Tilden. 4-B's Ah-horcc, so these are the fellows who are stepping into the spot left vcxccrnt by those mighty 4-A's. Step softly. Do not Woke the loiols Who are rnorking up lost sleep. Soon you too will be sleeping lotte when your time comes. Think of the night when you will be handed a sheep-skin and told distinctly that your time is up. How will you feel? While you 4-B's are not so many in number perhaps you will be able to live down, er, that is live up to many things done by the 4-A's. As a Bird Would See lt The Daily Grind Propaganda They Did Not Beat the Bell A Helping Hand Guess the two pictures at the top of the page show us up exactly as we appear to the ro- bins, sparrows, etc. On the left we are traipsing in from the west, on the right, from the north. Little need be said about the time-worn stairways. We do not like to climb them but what would We do without them? ..........................,...,.,,.......... The next picture reminds us of the people of a foreign country looking at the daily list of War deaths. But not here. Those signs words carry of joy. Many a ticket has been sold and many a Techman has been influenced by the gaudy signs adorning the landings .........i,, My, my! have We in the lower hand cor- ner? Could it be these lads are late? Say, it can't happen here. lt's all a mistake .........,.. Then to our right appears Tilden's helping hand. More of us should use this splendid adjustment service ..........., Now on to the next page. High Voltage When it comes to the Chem department good old Tilden steps right up and takes a front seat. We beg your pardon, the Chem students and teachers don't take a seat they really go to town. Since Chemistry plays such an imporant part in everyday lite it is one of the most valuable subects taught at Tilden. Above Mr. Wunderlich is trying hard to look serious as he pours - could it be colored water - from one test tube to another. Next to Chemistry the ever new art of Physics holds the interest of Techmen. The training received in the Physics lab is necessary to the fellow that plans to take Chem. ln the lower picture Mr. Stone shows his spellbound students how to work an experiment. In a technical school such as Tilden the two major sciences of Chemistry and Physics present themselves as two of the most important subjects in the school. Test Tube Magic .X 3-A's Well, Well, look Gt the Iuniors. Here is the clorss thort will totke over the mani- fold duties dropped bythe graduating Seniors. There standing in the group is the future President of the C.l.C. There too are the other club officers unmcrsked only cttter the future catches up to us orncl becomes the present. Storrs ot tomor- row on the gridiron stand among these 3-I-YS. Who knows what the future will bring them? Will championships pile up? Will our 3-A's Win scholotrship after scholorrship? Only time will tell. PUBLICATICDN A pictorial cross-section of life at good old Tilden would hardly be complete without a few snapshots and words about the lads who are responsible for the printing and publishing of its weekly mouthpiece. Thus it is that you see all of these revealing photos scattered so profuse- ly about the landscape. As for words, well, here goes. Unlike most schools we print our own paper, a fact of whch we're quite proud. This gives our print shop a chnce to share the joys and woes tmostly woesl of getting out a newspaper regularly with the editorial staff of the paper. In most schools an outside printer has this thank- less job. However, as long as our printing presses and linotype machines hold up, we'll still be different and do it ourselves. After getting that little plug off our chests, perhaps you would like to get the real lowdown on our paper: just who and what does this and that, and how it's done. Let's begin at the be- ginning - which happens to be the editorial desk of the TIMES. It's really not a desk, it's just a room - 215. Here all the journalistic masterminds on the staff rack their brains for adjectives, verbs etc. After these outbursts have been proofread a few dozen times they go into the lino- type department. However each story that goes in there has a definite place on a definite page, and it's up to the page editor to see that everything works out the way it should. Oh yes, each story must have a headline also. These are written by anyone that's handy. Then the linotypers get busy on their machines and the lead begins to fly thick and fast. Galley proofs and page proofs come next and finally the four pages are all made up, ready to go to press. Our flat bed preses work fast and within a few hours more than four thousand fully printed newspapers have issued forth from their interiors. Of course the papers must be folded and distributed and that's taken care of by the circulation men. But we mustn't forget the business staff. These high powered salesmen acquire and collect the money for those beauti- ful ads that we hope you read. We hope that in this short space alloted you have gained some knowledge of the machin- ery of a typical high school newspaper. Now here's another plug. The TIMES received a rating of Superior from the National Scholastic Press Association - and that's just about tops! The Brain Trust Those Faithful Gordons Verb Slingers Lead Squeezers Rolling 'Em Delivering the Goods We call it The Pony The Editor Speaks 2-A's We can't tell you what it is but there is something about the 2-A's which makes them stand out. Maybe it's because their lower class days are about over. May- be it's because they begin to have a hand in selecting their subjects. It is hard to say. However as the picture is scrutinized the 2-A's look like the same bunch of regular fellows that the Seniors claim to be. Brains and brawn are in the above group. Another year and quite a few of you 2-A's will begin to carve your name in Tilden's history book. 2-B's These 2-B Sophs look ors if they cgn hold their own With any Senior. Among the group there gre some fellows who ocre beginning to Wonder if the football teotm could use them. Or mgybe there's CI plgce on the trotck or locfsebofll teotm Waiting. Don't hesitate, Soph. Novv's the time. Go out tor the teams and help bring some more championships to the trophy decked halls of Tilden. Now is a good time to think over the prospects of going to college. Watch those marks and you'11 be prepared when graduation rolls around. Forge At The Anvil Punch Press The Working ot ct Lathe Acetylene Cutting Hot Iron l A Delicate Iob Youthful Orators Harmonizin' A Teacher Demonstrates Shipbuilding To the casual observer the name Tilden usually means just one thing -shops. Of course there are many other things that make us stand out from the rest of the crowd, but it's really our shops that provide the finishing touch. Some of Chicago's finest craftsmen and techni- cians began their climb to success in these shops and undoubtedly many more of Tilden's sons will follow in their footsteps. . Possessed of the finest equipment that money can buy and instructors Who know their trade from A to Z, they form the nucleus of Tilden. They provide a testing laboratory in which the problems of the classroom can be successfully attacked and conquered. At this point We would like to make one thing clear. Shops are not made just to give the inferior stu- dent a chance to use his hands. No, indeed. It takes as much brainwork to be successful in the machine shop, for instance, as it does in any other subject. Forge, foundry, Woodworking, auto, electric, machine, Welding, aeronautics, printing, photography, -they all turn out their share of skillful workmen. And all this is done at minimum cost to the student. The slight fee assessed is small cost indeed for all the valuable training acquired. The world of the future will be a world of astounding scientific achievements. The men who will perform these miracles Will be men Who specialize, men who can do one thing better than anyone else. Our shops are the training ground for these men. l-A's Believe it or not, the fellows above have just graduated. Yes sir, they have just graduated, in their own minds, from the lowly rank ot l-B. Very indignant is their reply when accused of being a freshman. l ain't no Freshie no more, l'm in l-A . Actually still scared and a little unsteady these noble l-A's try to hide the tact by svvaggering around the building, whistling and pushing guards around in the polished manner of the Senior. The only difference is they don't get away with it. Don't bawl, Freshie, time heals everything. 1-B's Oh for the carefree lite ot a Freshman! How many times have we heard that opening sentence from some of our high and mighty Seniors upon graduation. Altho a Freshman must take abuse and constantly be held in contempt We Wonder if perhaps he isn't Well oit. Ah, no responsibilities, no Worrying about Gym credits, no unpaid debts, just a clean slate. Snap out of it Freshman. Know your school. Look over the many teams, go to all the games, support your school and keep up its reputation. Do this and you'll become a true Techman. r i i 4 f H V .,. .

These are a few of the questions that emanate from Rooms 135 and 136 Where the Editorial and Art Staffs labor hectically the ninth period every day.

TIMES Permit us to introduce to you those very esteemed gentlemen of the fourth estate, those gallant Knights of the Pen, those-but you know 'em-it's the Times staff! Masters of the journalistic art, they have labored long and hard to bring Tilden's sheet to the top of the newspaper heap. The time that these energetic lads give to the paper is bound- less: if they're not out chasing a story or try- ing to beat a deadline, you can probably find them sitting in the Times office having a hot Bull session on some current topic. You've probably heard the old saying, once a newspaper man, always a newspaper man. Well that's the way it is with every- one on the staff. Too often books and home- work are forgotten in favor of some story that has to be written or some page that has to be made up. But it usually works out for the best-if the teachers happen to be len- ient. However, forgetting such things for the moment, this is a good time to mention some of the names of these ambitious fellows. As Co-Editors this past semester, we have had Iohn Vacca and Gene Smaltz. Under their progressive leadership the paper has achiev- ed a new high in creating student interest and promoting school welfare. Student gov- ernment, high scholarship, more school spir- it, and good sportsmanship-these are but a few of the things the Times has advocated during the past year. This Iune the paper will lose a good share of its staff. Besides the two aforementioned editors, Ioe Ringhofer, Eitel Kir- sch, Ed Wake, Herb Hellmer, Don Theim, Harold Hawkenson, Iohn F irlit, Frank Pisarski, Elmer Foster, Ed. Wojcik, and Wilbert Streich will emerge from Tilden with diplomas in their hands. Taking the load off their shoulders will be the following 4B's, William Smith, Carl Berntson, Sam Prestinario, Dick Nash, Calvin Hubber and Bob Menke. Looking into the future is, to say the least, quite a precarious and uncertain occupation especially when one happens to be a gross amateur. However, our guess is that these graduating journalists will drink of success in large draughts. BUSINESS AND PRINTERS STAFF Here's where we toss a few orchids to our printers and business men. To both Times and Craftsman they give boundlessly of their services. Linotype machines and galley proofs are the daily fare of the printers, while the respective business staffs thrive on ads' selling ability, circulation and money. Collecting the money for over one-thousand copies of the Craftsman is no mean job. Yet the busi- ness staff of the Craftsman, led by George Knetl, takes the work in its stride. From the ads which it garners the Times pays a good share of the ever present expenses. Fred Gittler and Iohn Pauga are the golden boys in this division of the Times. And of course there are the printers. The tasks that they perform are numberless. Tilden's print- shop, besides putting out the Times and Craftsman, handles all sorts of printing jobs from the printing of passes to programs. Printers, take a bow. C.I.C. OFFICERS First Row: D.

C.I.C. - RED CROSS-FIRST AID Iealous guardians of their money bags, yet gen- erous and charitable withal-that's the Civic Industrial Club. Called the C. I. C. for short, it's Tilden's oldest and largest organization. Way back in 1914 A. D., when her Alma Mammy was a mere infant, the C.l.C. had its beginning. Miss Sass, the founder, has since seen it grow to its present unrivaled distinction. A gigantic treasury would be a good name for it. Every semester of every year each student contrib- utes his small but necessary share, 65 cents. lust take 65 cents and multiply it by 4,000 and you will receive for your answer one semester's income. Mir- acles are performed with that money which, by the way, is the only money that the students are asked to contribute. Right here we'd like to say that all the credit in the world should be given to Mr. Wood, the club sponsor, who has been active in the club for many semesters. Every division in the school has a hand in the dis- tribution and the appropriaton of the money. They elect representatives who attend the monthly meet- ings. And that is real democracy in its finest form. No doubt you wonder Where all that cash goes. Well, we assure you that wherever it goes it is all well spent. The Times, Tilden's weekly news organ, re- ceives 35'X, of the total and all you have to do is to glance over the aforementioned paper to perceive what a fine investment that 35 percent turns out to be. Countless other expenses come to attention of the C.I.C. and they are just as efficiently handled. Red Cross donations, a new bulletin, life saving courses, uniforms for the band, liquid soap, many assemblies, and large appropriations for needy students-these are just a few of the worthy activities that the C.I.C. sponsors, It is just such things that make Tilden the fine school it is. In the fall of each year the club puts on a red hot election campaign-or rather the candidates do. Tea- chers recommend these candidates who are divided into two parties, Gold and Blue, Tilden's colors. For three weeks they harangue their fellow students with speeches and startle them with signs. After a rousing campaign this year the school elected Gene Schutt President, LeRoy Brockman, Vice-president, Dav- id Lavey, Treasurer, and William Smith, Secretary. These capable lads have given fine service thru out their senior year and deserve all sorts of orchids for carrying out the policy of the the club as well as developing new ideas. Were you hurt on your Way to school? Did some- one pour nitric acid down your back? Did you try to cut off your finger on a lathe or did you burn it on a soldering iron? If so, there is a newly organized Bed Cross First Aid Station waitng to care for you in Tilden's basement. Under the supervison of Dr. Humiston, this C.I.C. sponsored activity has helped many a Tildenite in distress during its short existence. Manned by our own students with Ioseph Murry as chief guard, this fine organization handles all kinds of emergencies, including burns, cuts, sprans, and sickness, and in including burns, cuts, sprains, and sickness, and in winter, many cases of frost-bite. Available from eight o'clock until three, the members of the groups are always ready to administer aid. Not only is this an invaluable service to the stud- ents in preventing serious complications and in easng pain, but it trains the boys who operate the station in the best methods of first aid and in calmness and coolnss in an emergency. Another representation of which Tilden can well be proud is that of the Iunior Red Cross which spon- sors the First Aid Station. Every year we enter the drive to enroll all of the students in the Chicago Iunior Red Cross and thus extend its power to relieve and aid the needy. The Iunior Bed Cross Council of Chicago is com- posed of two representatives from each high school who hold monthly meetings to promote good Will, mutual understandings and aid in all of our many schools. Our two representatives are William Canning and Edward Kubash. Canning, formerly vice-president of the Chicago chapter is at present the head of Tilden's council and editor-in-chief of The Banner, the publication for the Chicago chapter. Kubash the other representative, is make-up editor of the same paper. Mr. Wood, C.I.C. sponsor, also sponsors the Red Cross which functions under the C.I.C. Because of the excellent work he has done in this organization, Canning was chosen delegate to attend the National Red Cross convention held in Washing- ton, D.C. the first part of May. When Canning grad- uates Robert Schafer will take his place as officer in the Red Cross. With him in charge our chapter is sure to continue its splendid work and to be active in the national group that has such high standards of service. 1. SOCIAL COMMITTEE First Row: S. Doyle, W.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE Do we co-rr1e to Tilden to escape the girls? Do we forget that soon, the feminine contingency will play an important part in our lives? If we have overlook- ed the value of the gentler sex in our segregated rou- tine at Tilden the Social Committee does its best to supply that need in our otherwise calm existence: yes, it sees we have a chance for the better things of life. The first afternoon social held in the large gym was a great success attended by eight hundred. Fair representatives from Calumet, Lindblom, Visitation, Hyde Park, Englewood, and Parker arrived in an- swer to invitations sent out by Miss Birmingham. Chesly Bride and his Cavaliers provided the music. Due to the popularity of this first social, another Was given a month later where all danced to the music of Bob Romano and his Genial Gentlemen. Tilden- ites are grateful to their Social Committee for the chances it has given them to meet HER! CIRCUS COMMITTEE Tilden's greatest money making event of the year needs power to make the gears go round. This year the Tenth Annual Circus was only managed by an energetic committee headed by Mr. Kuehl as fac- ulty sponsor and Herb Hellmer as student chairman. This committee organized the publicity for the many shows, arranged for their location in the build- ing, saw that the whole affair had a great variety of entertainment, and in general, provided perform- ers, barkers, and ticket takers. Iudging from financial ruturns this Circus was tops Work in such type of organization is of great value to Tilden students, for it gives them an opportunity to organize and to put across a large financial under- taking. Perhaps it will sow the seed of executive ability that will eventually develop into making them the financial tycoons of the country. SAFETY COUNCIL Tilden has been keeping pace with the rest of the country when it comes to the latest movement to promote safety in the nation, under the guidance of Mr. Buchannan, Tech's Safety Coordinator. This organization is the newest one in Tilden but it intends to expand and become one of the guiding lights. The Safety Council has drawn up plans for promoting safety, not only in the shops and class- rooms, but on the street, and even in the home. The whole hearted cooperation of every Tilden student and teacher is needed to help the Safety Council weave a band of safety around the school. BAND Flute cmd Piccolo: Bowman, Gittler, Nisely.

Using sweet music and per- fect harmony as their forte, the band members this year attained an enviable highest rating in our city. Out of all the organizations here at Tilden the band is one of the most active. The members of this organization are pictured on this page in their very attractive uniforms which they wear only on special occasions. During the past year it has played at many of the assemblies that were held, at football games and other special events. At Tilden's football games it has given the boys something interesting to watch and to listen to between halves when the members of the band, dressed in their uniforms, marched around the field playing military marches. The band also played at the Tilden Circus for Tanya's Weddingw which was held in the assembly hall. Captain Stube was well pleased with the way the boys played in the annual city-wide band competi- tion which was held early in April at Roosevelt High School. Out of eleven schools which competed only five received the perfect rating of S . Tilden was one of those schools. lt was the first time since l nineteen twenty eight that a Tilden band got such a grade. The three selections that were used by the boys from Tilden were: Manx Overture by Haydn Wood, Marche Slav by Tschaikowsky, and In- vercargill by A. F. Lthgow. Manx Overture was the numbe that required to be played. The band is going to lose fifteen boys through graduation. They are: William Collins, Don Hughes, Caesar Howell, Dallas Leavell, Ray Long, William Pinkard, Bernard Quiva, Troy Roberson, Edward Roberts, Mike Rolak, Robert Sailors, Ioseph Scott. Ioseph Valladay, Tony Venezia, and lim Wrona. by their graduation will be keenly Stube and all Tildenites. But let us are many young bandsmen coming of the sophomores and juniors who The void left felt by Captain hope that there from the ranks will ably fill their places and help to bring added musical honors to Tilden. Preposterous fool, that never read so far To know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of man, After his studies or usual pain? ORCHESTRA The Tilden Tech Concert Orchestra meets the third period every day in the band room, 225, for its regular rehearsals. This Concert Orchestra so called, should really be titled the symphony or- chestra because of the symphonies and symphonic selections which it plays, and because of the pon- derous effects of the string basses and the specialized effects of its oboes and bassoons. The group plays for various assemblies, gradua- tions, Parent Teachers' Association affairs and it gives concerts at elementary schools. It also en- gages annually in the city Wide high school orches- tra competition. On May 9th, this year, the Concert Orchestra took part in the city-Wide competition in Group ll division Wth about sixty members under the able baton of Mr. Bernard Fischer. Tilden's competitors in Group ll were Farragut, Austin, Roosevelt, Tuley, Calumet, Harrison and Hyde Park. A new contest Was begun this year called the en- semble contest in which the members of the orches- tra organize themselves into smaller groups called the woodwind quintet, string quintet, brass quartet and the clarinet quartet. These groups enter into a special ensemble contest for similar groups from other high schools in the city. The string quintet has enjoyed the able and patient coaching of lVlr. Paul Moore, member of the Tilden Faculty. Mr. Bernard Fischer and the Orchestra have accep- ted an invitation to play a regular one hour concert in the Grant Park band shell which Will be broadcast over the air. This Will take place sometime in Iune, either on a weekday or Sunday afternoon or on a Sunday evening. Mr. Fischer has chosen the follow- ing compositions to be played.

ATTENDANCE GUARDS Hey Bud, here's your slip! This is the sound that greets the ears of Tilden's latecomers. If a boy arrives after 8:15 in the morning Without a plausible excuse, he has to report the following morning at 7:30 to the Breakfast Club. Under Miss Cullison the attendance office has greatly reduced the tardiness at good old Alma Marn- my. These guards have to see that the proper teach- ers are notified of the tardniness. They must file the records of each tardiness and on top of the afore- mentioned jobs these same fellows must see that or- der is maintained in the infamous make-up room. In the future we may have a machine that will pick up all the lackadaisical, languishing Tech late- men, rubber stamp them in red ink and deposit them down chutes into their first period classes. But until that day We expect to see Miss Cullison's guards continue to do the cracker-jack job that they are doing now. ADJUSTMENT SERVICE Every teacher recognizes and works with the in- dividual differences as exhibited by the students in his various classes. To give opportunity for work with pupils needing help an adjustment period is assigned each teacher. The adjustment service is maintained to investi- gate pupils failing because of physical or economic handicaps, to investigate irregular attendance, and to give any possible helpful guidance. This service is under the leadership of Mr. Strassman and cap- able assistants. PLACEMENT OFFICE The Placement Office working in conjunction with the Occupational Research of the Board of Education and the lllnois State Employment Service registers all senior students designing work after graduation. Since this office under the supervision of Mr. Wil- liamson keeps in close contact with the large indust- rial plants of the city, many of our students are placed in good paying positions. Its aim is a job for every graduate. Each senior is called into the Placement Office and interviewed by Mr. Williamson and classified according to his vocational choice or aptitude. Because of the fact that every graduate will be a potential worker, social security applications are made out, then sent to the Social Security Board and cards are delivered to the senior. If a graduate fails to get employment, his applica- tion will be placed on file in one of the Illinois State Employment Offices. The applicant should call then twice a month until a positon is secured. DRUM AND BUGLE CORP Front Row: Sgt. Moore. S. Halas, A. Lemert, Pt. Thompson, I. Kleinow, C. Eberwein, I. Darling, R.

Moore, military in- structor here at Tilden and Major Iohn H. Ringe, former adjutant of Chicago Public High School R.O.T.C. units, in May, 1938. The corps made its first appearance on November ninth at a PTA Dinner. Since then they have been called on to participate in various patriotic parades, programs, and contests, winning much admiration. On April l, 1939 the corps played a conpicuous role when they were judged the Winners in the An- nual R.O.T.C. Platoon Competition at l32nd Infant- ry Armory. To Stanley M. Pinski, director of several outstand- ing junior corps, goes rnuch of the credit for the suc- cess of the Drum and Bugle Corps, for he has been its instructor from its inception. MILITARY POLICE The Military Police, an organization for the protec- tion of all the students of Tilden Tech, is divided in- to eight separate posts, each with an individual com- mander and each has its specific duty to perform. Posts one, four, five, and six are loading posts which load students upon street cars. Posts two and three are posts whose duty it is to keep students from jay- walking across Union Avenue. Post seven is that in charge of students who are arrested if they are caught hitching rides. These offenders are turned over to the police who inform the parents of the boys. Post eight is a post around school whose duty it is to enforce the no smoking rule. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS The non-commissioned officers are the backbone of any military unit. They receive their orders from the officers but directly control the privates which of course make up the large part of the unit. Therefore much importance is attached to their instruction. At Tilden we have a special school for this purpose that meets every morning between 7:20 and 9:00. All non-coms not engaged in other R.O.T.C. activities are required to attend. Cadets that have been recom- mended by their company commanders also attend. About eighty turn out each morning for this school to receive instruction in a variety of subjects such as Combat Principles, Scouting and Patrolling, Map Reading, etc. The lecture is made interesting and practical by demonstrations, such as using equipment that is connected with any partcular subject. The R.O.T.C. Bond Manuel is the chief source of information al- though special material may be introduced by the in- structor. After instruction in any one subject, a test is given and the marks recorded. . X i, GUIDONS First How: Chet Maczuga, Cdt. Lt. Col. E. Stark, Emanuel, Riff. Second Row: Cdt. Sgt.

GUIDON S The guidons pictured are two of the best men chosen from each company. Their duty is to carry the company emblem, a small flag, at all ceremonies. The six regular guidons, one to each company, are: Company A Sergeant Mandunack, Company B Ser- geant Rune, Company C Sergeant Angus, Company E Sergeant Mirecki, Company F Sergeant Katsoras, Company G Sergeant Merton. All training and drilling of the guidons is conducted by Commander Lieutenant Maczuga and Second in Command Lieutenant Riff. All drill is supervised by Staff Sergeant Moore and Sergeant Tworek. The job of the guidon is a tedious task. Drill is held twice a week, and the guidon pole is seven feet in height. When the pole is dipped, that is extended to the front the approximate pull on the arm is two pounds held at arms' length. The guidon is expected to be an example in cleanliness to his company. ECCENTRIC DRILL TEAM The Eccentric Drill Team, commonly known as the Monks, is composed of eight members, four lefties, Second in Command Sergeant Hulkowich, Lieute- nant Price, Corporal Srina and Lieutenant Antol: and four righties: Sergeant Labus, Sergeant Welke, Cadet Nisley and Commander Lieutenant Riff. The Monkey Drill Team is a common sight at all imporaant assemblies. Within their repertoire they have thirty-one movements. These movements in- clude spins, marching steps and rifle manual. This team deviates from regular rifle drill by combining the new and old, not to speak of English rifle manual. The team may be seen Monday and Thursday mornings from 7:25 till 8 o'clock practising on the stage of the assembly hall. Actual drill time takes six minutes. Some of the more important events in which the team took part during the last year are: a medal assembly, the Crcus, two exibitions for the American Legion and the Drum and Bugle Corps RIFLE TEAM An R.O.T.C. organization not widely advertized but of definite value to the school is the Rifle Team. High man on the team this year is the captain, Ed- ward Michal. Introducing the season Was a match with West High School ot Salt Lake City, Utah. The next match, a two in one, was the Intercity and Sixth Corp area tilt, one in which not only our city schools but also those of four other states competed. The William Randolph Hearst Trophy match Was the last one of the season. Here a trophy was presented to the high team in each corps area. Rifle marksmanship is classified as a major sport, and a major T is awarded to those members who participate in all of the matches. OFFICERS - Front Row: I. McDonough, W. Moody, I. Sarazen, A.

OFFICERS An enviable reward for faithful and earnest ser- vice in the R.O.T.C. is an officer's commission. In Til- den's regiment there are thirty-eight officers, ten of whom are on the regimental staff. Their duties are: to issue uniforms, books, and equipment: to write articles for the school paper and the Chicago papers in order to give publicity for their activity: and to organize a training schedule. For each battalion two officers are appointed, the Battalion Commander and the Battalion Adjutant, the former being responsible for the function and effi- ciency of his battalion. Each company has four officers, the Company Commander, the Second-in-Command, and two Plat- oon Commanders whose duty it is to drill the cadets and instruct them in the theoretical subjects. The Tilden R.O.T.C. unit has Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Eugene Stark for its Regimental Comman- der. FIREGUARDS The Fireguard organization of Tilden Tech is a branch of the R.O.T.C. Due to this affiliation, Staff Sergeant Michael I. Moore, military instructor, and Sergeant Eugene Tworek, act as sponsors. The regi- mental commander, Cdt. Lt. Colonel Eugene E. Stark. is the organization's general supervisor. The duties of the Fireguards are not only num- erous, but important. These duties consist of the re- porting of fire hazards, supervision of large school gatherings, cleaning the building in as short a time as possible during firedrills, the moftntenance of order during these drills, and the reporting of any- one disobeying the firedrill regulations. The chief of the Fireguards makes out a report of each drill to our principal, Dr. C. I. Lunak. USHERS Order out of chaos is achieved at Tilden student assemblies by the conscientious work of the R.O.T.C. ushers. Sponsored by Sgt. Moore and Sgt. Tworek, these cadets, consisting of forty-seven members, are headed by Cadet Lt. Col. Stark as general supervi- sor and Cadet lst Lt. Ray Stevens as chief. Important duties of the ushers are to maintain or- der in the assembly hall and see that fire regula- tions are carried out there. Before any student is per- mitted to enter the hall every exit must be open and the exit light glowing. The row of seats along the bal- cony railing must be kept clear in case of fire. At each assembly reports are turned in to the clerk of the ushers. Any cadet guilty of three absences is dismissed. Reward for usher service is twenty hours credit a semester toward a Civic letter. After working several semesters keeping order, a Tilden usher ought to qualify any place as an able representative of law and order.

You don't have to read any more to find out that We're talking about Sgt. Moore's pride and joy, the Picked Platoon. This crack drill outfit consists of twenty six cadets under the able leadership of a platoon commander and an officer second in command. As in previous years this platoon has followed the tradtions set by other Tilden Units by taking first place in the Annual competition between picked outfits from other schools in the Sixth Corps area. Three years ago squad competition Was changed to platoon. In those three years Tilden has established a record never equaled by any other high school unit. The Picked Platoon copped two first places and one second. In years to come We expect to see this outfit forge still further ahead and continue to rake down honor upon honor.

OFFICE GUARDS Tilden's Cream of the Crop is a fitting title for the boys pictured at your left. Honor students who are willing to give their time cmd efforts are the only boys accepted for the responsible position of of- fice guard. Office guards render one of the most exacting and necessary services to the school. They begin their Work early in the morning when they open the office and are the last boys to leave after school. Marking day finds every guard busy working for Miss Wright in the office or in the study halls. These, with count- less other tasks and errands for the office clerks and officials, comprise the duties of the office guard. The boy is rewarded for his services, however. Three semester's work makes the donor the proud possessor of a Civic letter. Each additional semester adds a bar. Office guard service may also be used for the required servce needed for an Honor Club letter. This is not the greatest gain for the hours of service given to the school during his four year stay by the office guard. Courtesy becomes a natural habit with him: his speech improves: he learns how to talk to people and how to treat them considerately. This experience has proved invaluable to former office guards after graduation. For benefits given ana received the office guard freely and cheerfully contributes his time and efforts. He is respected by teachers and students alike. They know he is dependable, capable, and honest. An office guard is truly one of Tilden's best . LIBRARY GUARDS Library guadrs deluxe. That isn't the title of a new book -it's just the name we're tacking on to that efficient staff of Tech library guards operating under the direction of Miss Lynch. The job of library guard, while appearing easy to most people is no pushover. These fellows are constantly filing and checking thousands of books, taking care of the attendance, typing cards, and gathering information besides doing a host of other work around the library. Many advantages present themselves to the library guards. They are constantly in contact with count- less new books which express the ideas of young America. These books do not contain sad facts of his- tory but look into the future, the world of chemistry, industry and professional work. These fellows are receiving training that will be of tremendous value to them in the future. The student library staff de- serves credit for the hardworking group that it is. 4 l s .... 3 ...- .

There is a supervising teacher with a few hand picked guards stationed on every floor. The guards are responsible to the guard marshal who in turn reports to the teacher on his floor. The guard's duties may sound simple but they are important nevertheless. They are: to keep stu- dents from going through the halls without passes, thus insuring us against locker breaking, and to keep a watchful eye on the automobiles around the building to see that they are not tempered with. Keeping the corridors clean is another important duty ot the guards. Students very seldom appreciate how this system helps them. By obeying all regulations they acquire the necessary habit of following a definite routine. Our biggest drive is for cleanliness, which not only gives the school a neat appearance, but also aids the students to form better habits. Many jobs are lost because students have never learned to follow orders in school on cleanliness. It is our endeavor to help Tildenites acquire good habits that will prove assets through life.

McDermott GUARD MARSHALS One of the activities in which almost every Tilden- ite can participate during his high school days is the hall guard system. Although there are many hall guards, only a selected few become marshals. Their chief duties are to see that those under them are present every day and faithfully perform their duties of keeping the halls clean and to see that students do not loiter. This semester Tilden has inaugurated a new sys- tem, and the marshals played an important part in making it a success. To the marshal falls the task of being everywhere at once. He must, if a guard is absent, take his place.. All the guards are responsi- ble to the marshal and the marshal in turn to a faculty sponsor. The marshals are chosen by the sponsors for their dependability, integrity, and scholarship. ln the future we know these marshals will carry on their good Work after graduation and will become the civic leaders of their communities. BOOK ROOM GUARDS The unsung heroes, our book room guards, seven- teen of them, are under the direction of Wm. Doc White and chief guard, Iohn Yarmola, Besides tak- ing care of 17,000 books scattered throughout the school and the five thousand in the book room, they also take care of the shipping and receiving in the store room. The book room guards keep a file of every book in the school, distribute supplies, and take inven- tory of school supplies before the beginning of every semester. The guards also handle the dist- ribution of the senior jackets, and college pamphlet material. During their spare time, which they seldom get, they have composed a Hill Billy Band known throughout Chicago's theatrical circles as Doc White and his Kentucky Songbirds , STUDENT COUNCIL The school's most recently formed organization is the Student Council. lt consists of third and fourth year boys elected by their divisions. These boys, known as Councilors, donate some of their time and service toward raising the standards of conduct in our school lunch room. At an early meeting Iohn Grzena was elected Pres- ident and Don Cliff secretary. Three marshals were also elected for the three lunch periods. Because many of the councilors do not have the fifth, sixth or seventh periods free they are giving up part of their lunch period to serve in this work. Under the fine supervision of the officers and mar- shals, the council has already produced a great change in the lunch room. lt is the goal of the council members to undertake new duties in the school after they have accomplished their first aim. ., ,,,.,.m.., ' l.

HONOR CLUB Because the membership requirement is an E average on the final semester grades, constant mem- bership in the Honor Club is the most important stepping stone toward entrance into the National Honor Society. Miss Mildred Lawler who sponsors the National Honor Society also directs the activi- ties of the Honor Club. At the first meeting of each semester Miss Lawler explains to the new members just how National Honor Society membership is Won. In this Way the interested students may obtain an early start toward future entrance into the National Honor Society. Although the requirements are very high, this semester's membership was quite large. This semes- ter the Honor Club consisted 19 freshmen, 57 sopho- mores, 71 juniors and 87 seniors, making a total of 234 members. The large membership of the Honor Club shows the true Tilden spirit. Once a student is a member of the Honor Club it does not take long for him to realize the invalubleness of his member- ship. The Honor Club in teaching character, dependa- bility, trustworthiness and cooperation, obtains for its members a high degree of recognition both in and out of school. It helps in giving honor points toward invitations to Achievement Dinners. The Honor Club also supplies the cream of the crop for such posi- tions as office guards, P.T.A. ushers, bookroom guards, ticket salesmen and hall guards. On circus night the Honor Club sells roses to obtain money for Tilden's scholarship fund. As a reward for his hard Work in scholarship and service each member is entitled to wear a gold T pin which bears the Words Honor and C.l.C. To show the number of semesters a student has been in the Honor Club bars are added to the pin. Double T letters are given to those who have been in the Honor Club for four consecutive semesters excepting lB and have given one semester's service to the school. For each additional sernester after the first four, a bar is added to the letter. The Honor Club members Who have been very consistent in their high scholarship and dependable service and have succeeded in remaining in the Honor Club for six or more semesters receive a special gold Honor Club pin. These pins are presented on graduation night by our principal, Dr. Lunak. Each semester the Honor Club elects its own officers. This semester the presidency was Won by Walter Landini. Iohn Firlit and William Yandel were elected secretaries, and the financial problems of the Honor Club were handled by the treasurer, Leroy Brockman. THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY One of the highest achievements here at Til- den is membership in the National Honor Soc- iety. Under the faithful guidance of Miss Mil- dred Lawler the National Honor Society has set forth high standards for its members to fol- low. Since there was no Senior Council this semester the requirements for membership in this sociey have been changed slightly. Mem- bership is now Won by having attended at least two Achievement Dinners and by having attained a position in the upper 7 per cent of the Senior Class. Invitations to Achievement Dinners are awarded for active participation in all work done for the good of the school. This semester 45 seniors were initiated into the National Honor Society. The initation took place at a special assemgly which was attended by the freshmen to enable them to see what the future holds as a reward for high schol- astic endeavors. The initiation program consisted of an ex- planation of the National Honor Society em- blem by William Canning Who said that the letters C.S.L.C. which the emblem bears, stood for the cardinal principles of the society-Chan Scholarship, Leadership and Service, respec- respectively.

Walter Kaspar spoke on Charact- er, Arthur Olson on Scholorship, Iohn Vacca on Leadership,and Iohn Firlit on Service. Then the entire audience hushed as Frank Knutzen, this semester's President of the National Honor Society, held high a burning torch, the Torch of Wisdom , the Light of Learning. At this ges- ture the lights were dimmed and the entire mem- bership group rose and solemnly formed a hol- low square about the President. With burning candles held high in their right hands the mem- bers made their pledge to the National Honor Society. The program came to a close with the award- ing of membership cards by Dr. Lunak. Together with the membershi card each mem- ber receives a gold pin which is a copy of the emblem ,and a gold seal Which is attached to his graduation diploma. On graduation night each member also receives an individual mem- bershp certificate. All of this is what lies in the future tor you freshmen ,sophomores, and juniors who have labored and are laboring day in and day out to attain that which should be first in every student's mind, a high scholastic standing ccm- bined wih loyal service. CIRCUS Side shows, musical extravaganza, a Chamber of Horrors, roller skating acrobats, swimming seals, a Miss Tilden beauty contest, and hosts of other attrac- tions made Tilden's Tenth Annual Circus and Home- coming the most gala event in the entire school year. On Thursday evening April 25th, the whole school. students, clerks, teachers, library staff, lunchroom attendants, and janitors, cooperated in making this year's circus a huge success .lt is the only money raising event held at Tilden during the Whole year. From the proceeds the school buys needed equipment not provided by the Board of Education, provides lunches for the needy students, and gives generously to the School Children's Aid Society. Ioe Morrison, winner of the Hobby Lobby contest at Marshall Field's who recently returned by airplane from his trip to New York to broadcast over Hobby Lobby radio show, managed the Chamber of Horrors. Maurice Husayko staged a Ukrainian dance for the romantic stage show entitled Tanya's Wedding, in the assembly hall. Famous performers donated their services. Claudia Eckert, well known A.A.U. champion, performed in the swimming pool in the show entitled Neptune's Follies and Howard Chatt, known to the fishing world as casting champion, put on an act in the same show. Iohnny Grzena and his Feather Merchants staged an elaborate roller skat- ing act. John Vacca and Gene Smaltz, Editors of the school paper, loe Phillips and William Smith senior class presidents, and Ted Wake of the Social Com- mittee formed a committee to choose Miss Tilden in the beauty contest. Mr. Kuehl was general chairman, Mr. Adams took charge of programs, Mr. Palka took care of the tickets. The student chairman was Herb Hellmer. Signs were made under the guidance of Miss Porter- field, and Mr. Tapley ably took charge of the guards that evening when Tildenites, past and present, their relatives and their girls swarmed ten thousand strong to the greatest technical school on the south side. Tilden threw open all its doors to greet one and all to its festive circus and homecoming. The future promises bigger and better shows to wow the huge crowds of fun seekers. HOBBY SHOW New York has its Yankees, New Orleans has its Mardi Gras, Chicago has its Tilden Tech and Tilden Tech has its Hobby Show. This year it was the Fifth Annual Hobby Show sponsored by the Tilden P.T.A. held as usual in the large gym. First, second and third place ribbons were awarded to the various exhibits entered, which included every thing from a bicycle built for three to a large collect- ion of firearms. There were large sections of the gym devoted to airplane exhibits, stamp collections, lace Work, wood carvings and boats large and small. This year as an added feature one of Tilden's various ham radio operators set up his outfit in a corner of the gym and broadcasted the fame of the Hobby Show to the four winds in the amateur world. HOBBY SHOW QUEEN Miss Ieanne Blackwell A gueen was chosen before the event to reign as Queen of the Hobby Show on the night of March 20th. She was pretty Miss leanne Blackwell, a fresh- man at Parker High School. During the last five years each Hobby Show has been a little better than the one before. We hope that within a few years it will be the main hobby event of Chicago's South Side. P.T.A. The program theme of the Tilden Parent Teacher organization this year was The Responsibility of Home, School, and Community in the Welfare of Youth. Its aim was to promote a better Tilden Loy- alty and goodfellowship among parents, teachers, and students. This year's P.T.A membership has reached an all time high of 415 members and a 100 per cent teacher membership, 152 members of our teachng staff having enrolled. The first two programs of the year were devoted to subjects of special interest to freshman mohers. At other meetings held througout the year subjects of general interest were discussed and plans were made for the annual turkey dinner and the Hobby Show, both of which were a huge success.

AERO CLUB The Sheet Metal Aero club, organized in Ianuary 1937 by Mr. George Stephens, is one of the most interesting clubs in Tilden. The members of this club receive invaluable training in the laying out, design- ing, cutting, flanging, Welding, riveting, and drilling of all parts that go into the construction of airplanes. Although their planes are only models, they work with the same precision and system and with the same material that goes into the construction of real airplanes. Every piece made by these boys is the acme of perfection. Models being constructed by Mr. Stephens, I. Car- rett, and Aasen, the president of the club, will soon be ready for testing. We hope that in the future this invaluable training Will be offered to the boys of Tilden as a shop, and that soon we may see the names of the club members on the payrolls of the great airplane manufacturing plants Whose output represents the finest in design and craftsmanship.

BOOK CLUB The Book Club under the guidance of Miss Verhoe- ven has for its aim the reading and discussion of books which the members have read. Each boy chooses a book from any library list and begins his home reading. Gradually after finishing his book and listening to other boys' discussion, he changes his interest and tastes to a higher level. Biographies, mysteries, adventure stories and tech- nical topics are found on this list. The meetings are held every first and third Wednesday of the month in room ll3. ....i....... .--.------- - The majority of the rnembers range from soph- omores to seniors although any student interested in reading and discussing books may join the club. .. eh A A A .... in l ABX 6.

This year he produced the big- gest and best circus show. The Chamber of Horrors, that has ever been staged by the club. With the help of an alumnus the great brain child OOL was introduced to the public. This year has had several interesting contests, one of which was the designing of a humorous grot- esque to be cast in plaster of Paris. Another was the designing of a concrete flower pot, the best of these to be entered in the Illinois Vocational Association Contest. Two of our members Won ribbons at this show. The awards of Master Draftsman and Master Art- ist were given to Ioe Morrison and Le Roy Brockman respectively. The club under the able sponsorship of Mr. Arnold Lurie continues to develop talent. lt subscribes to magazines with the money gleaned from the circus so that its members can learn of the best the World has to offer in art and architecture. LIMNER CLUB A very beneficial organization whose purpose is to further a group of techmen's ambitions of someday becoming commercial artists is the Tilden Limner Club. Ably sponsored by Miss Marie Bertha Bohman. the club has become well known in art circles for the fine poster and general art work turned out. Limner Club art is often on display in school art shows, besides being on display in our school. Pos- ters have been entered in nationwide poster contests. The Limner club is open to all students interested in art in any of its phases, and in using any medium. Meetings are held Tuesdays, every week, after school, but most Work is done in free periods in such a Way as not to interfere with regular subjects. As there are no special requirements for membership, the members' interests vary immensely, with all work being original in every way. THE SIGNPAINTERS The signpainters render a real service for Tilden by advertising school events. Large signs placed at stair landings attract the attention of all comers. Signs advertising different shows and club activities give the whole building a gala appearance. Our future advertising business men learn here at Tilden that it is equaly important to have a good idea of design. With a careful study of lettering, color theories and of principles in making layouts for pos- ters and small signs, the boys takng this course find invaluable for work in the advertising display bus- iness. Under the direction of Miss Porterfield, its mem- bers receive a major credit when the semester's work is satisfactorily completed.

The chem club, one of Tilden's most interesting clubs, first came to a reality in 1937 under the able sponsor- ship of Mr. R. V. Goodrich. The Tilden club which is affliated with and is a charter member of the Am- erican Institute of Science ci Engineering clubs, has a membership this year of over 90 eager young chemists who are thirsting for knowledge which time does not allow to be given to them in class. The chemistry club, which is an extra curricular course in applied chemistry, holds two meetings a month. Many interesting movies are shown as well as many experimental demonstrations. Some of the demonstrations were: Thermite Welding, The Chem- ical Artist, Liquid Air, Spontaneous Combustion, Burning paper with water, the making and study of Ozone and electroplating. These are only a few of the amazing and educa- tional demonstrationss put on by the very efficient program committee. This same program committee, with Mr. Goodrich's help, is also responsible for the interesting talks given by the members of the club. The Numerical Chemist, Chemistry of the Match, Titanium, Miracles of Light, and Cosmic Rays, were some presented. These fellows will probably in the future be affil- iated with some of the most prominent scientific so- cieties in the world. We can also hope that some of them will some day win the famous Nobel Prize. labortory period every two weeks. The offcers of the club this year are: Bill Collins, President, Nat Hartnell, Vice-president and Cliff And- erson, Secretary. BIOLOGY CLUB Most boys who are interested in nature and ins- ects are members of the Biology Club. This club with a membership of about fifty boys is made up of members of the Biology classes. Officers of the club are Ioseph Bartkiewicz, President: Ernest Klim- gac, Vice-president: William Arthur, Secretary: and Walter Oblazny, Treasurer. Formerly meetings were held every other Monday. Since many of the boys were not able to attend, they were changed to one labaratory period every two weeks. Two trips a year are allowed the club. The trips taken by the boys this year were to the Stock Show and to the Brookfield Zoo. The club had a large display in the Hobby Show. The articles entered were plaster charts, made by Annerio and Mazur, and Rubber Molds made by Staschke. Under the able guidance of Miss Beddow, sponsor of the Biology Club, the club has planted trees and grass around the school.

TILDEN CHORAL GROUPS Pictured here is one of Tilden's most outstanding groups. We have always prided ourselves on this organization, for every year they consistently gain high honors and win the acclaim of all who hear them. This fine organization consists of two groups, the fourth period Choral Society and the seventh period class. There are approximately one hundred and twenty boys in the two groups, ranging from fresh- men to seniors, and because of this there is a fine range of voices. The Choral Groups are under the guidance of Mrs. Swanstrom during the fourth per- iod, and Miss Mullen during the seventh. Under the able guidance of these teachers the boys have main- tained a high standard of singing. They have mast- ered the difficult works of Bach, Handel, and Sib- elius, truly an accomplishment. A new idea was tried out last year which proved very successful. Recordings were made of the group' and were exceedingly fine. This is not only fine entertainment but helps in correcting and further perfecting the boys' singing. This year, for the first time, the seventh period group combined with the fourth period Society for the City Wide Choral Contest held each January in Chicago. They retained as usual the high ratings set up thruout the past years. Besides singing in school competition, the boys entertained the Woodlawn Mothers' Round Table and the Bryn Mawr Women's Club. We students here have also been fortunate in hearing them at some of our assemblies. In the past and at present we have always had a fine representation in Choral singing and I am sure that as long as it exists in the future we will always have someone to hold high Tilden's banner of super- iority. DEBATING CLUB Like so many other other school organizations the Tilden Tech Debating Club originated with a group of seniors. The February seniors were the fellows that gave this club impetus. The June seniors have carried on under the sponsorship of Mrs. Pearce. The group joined the High School League of Ora- tory and Debate, a league open to all public high schools in Chicago. To date only seven schools have joined. Besides Tilden the six other schools are Fen- ger, Amundsen, Roosevelt, Lake View, Lane and Austin. The members of this year's teams, affirmative, Laurance Amstadter and Joe Persico, negative, El- mer Foster and Jack Smith, have competed in de- bates with four schools. After the round of debates the final activity of the league was an extempore speaking contest held at Austn the latter part of May. ,,, ...

PAN - AMERICAN CLUB The Pan-American Student League is a nation wide organization composed of nearly thirty chapters in Chicago. The Pan-American Club at Tilden started in 1935 under the able leadership of Miss Graybill. The club members are acquainted with the history, politics, and customs of living in the various small republics in which the Spanish language is spoken. This club has always been credited for its successful participation in the annual Tilden Circus through- out its esistence as shown by the large crowds that attend. Meetings are held one Wednesday of each month where the boys enjoy sessions of educational and cultural value. The officers are as follows: E. Neidel. president: C. Dybas, vice-president: M. Ezzel, secre- tary: G. Schutt, treasurer: and R. Drop, publicity man. GERMAN CLUB DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN, sponsored by Miss Rose Seitz, has for president, Robert Schafer who calls a meeting about once every month. At present the or- ganization is following the usual vein of studying German culture, music and literature. The members also spend a great deal of their time studying the lives of important personages in the historical in- ventive, and literary development of Germany. ln- strumental and vocal entertainment is furnished at every club session. To be eligible for the club a student must have taken at least one semester, or have some know- ledge of the German language. Whatever our personal attitude today towards Germany, We must admit that the Germany of the past offered us riches in literature, science and music and the German club does not Wish to lose sight of the cultural riches it had to offer. FRENCH CLUB The French Club, sponsored this year by Miss Rose Seitz, is open to all members of the French clas- ses who desire a further chance to study French lang- uage, art, literature and homelife. As part of their entertainment program they play American word puzzle games using the French language. As a part of the class and club activity several of the felows are corresponding with French boys. This increases the interest of students in the language and also helps in writing it. Paul Backus was the September to lanuary pres- ident and William Erckson presided from Ianuary to lune. The knowledge of more than one language helps a person in his search for a keener understanding of the world. Members of the French Club are look- ing into the future and taking a deep interest in their second language, French. , 4- 9. 1 L SEVICE CLUB NO. l First Row: M. Frey, Keller, H.

The membership of this organization was limited to one hundred members and this rule still stands. Even though the member- ship rolls are open to all Tilden students the majority of the members are prominent seniors and juniors. This year the Service Club has stepped out in front of the school. Under the leadership of Gene Smaltz, the president for the September to Ianuary semester, and Elmer Foster, the January to Iune president, this group has brought the spirit of student government to Tilden. A special committee was selected that drew up a constitution under which student participation in the management of the school would function. This Constitution was given to our principal, Dr. C. I. Lunak, who placed it in the hands of a faculty com- mittee for consideration. The hardest task in the career of this club, and it will be a great advance- ment for the prestige of Tilden, is Student Self Gov- ernment. Any program which is for the benefit and advancement of the school does have and shall have the support of the present and the future Service Club groups. With the Choral Club under the direction of Mrs. Mable Swanstrom the Service Club has always done its part for the Tilden Circus. These groups combined this year and put on the Assembly Hall Show, Tan- ya's Wedding. The assembly show has always been one of the must shows of the Circus. At our Tenth Annual Cicus and Homecoming April 25, 1940 this show was no exception. Four shows were put on and each of them played to a full house. CLIPPING BUREAU As an energetic school is often in the news, stud- ents, teachers, and other Tilden boosters do not have time to look thru the many newspapers to read about their school, hence the clipping bureau. Miss Simcox, under whose direction the bureau operates, collects from the boys the articles which they have cut from various city and local papers in their own homes. The items are then posted around the school Where they are enthusiastically read by every one. Hundreds of articles are clipped every semester pertaining to school, academic, and athletic activi- ties. The number of athletic clippings reaches the 300 mark while about 175 academic clippings are cut. When the articles have been posted for a week they are removed from the bulletin boards, filed, and kept for purposes of reminiscing and review. Then when a new star emblazons the sports, scien- tific, or political world Tildenites can reflect, Ah, I saw clippings about him on our bulletin board way back when! vw-vv.wf.g,M,wm.,,n, ,w,w-W-wap-,Q-1 --mv-wwnfvwymwft,w-rw--f-bww,fm-f-A f-K-Wmmvf-x,...,w,WwYfwf-ww-1-,www-,,,,M.Wgg,,,i,, ,,,,.,,,.W,A,rW.,...,,f,w,.

Hats off to the hardworking band and cheer squad! The loyalty and spirit shown by last season's spectators and play- ers alike will never be forgotten. LETTERMANS CLUB Many years ago, Tilden organized a club for its athletes known as the Lettermen's Club. The purpose of the organization has been to prevent fellows from wearing an athletic letter not legitimately obtained and for those who have achieved a major letter it gives them an opportunity for cementing friendships. Recently the club has been completely re- organized. In the past the group had met only a few times a year to elect officers and to award T's. However the members and their sponsor, Mr. Hartmann, feel that their or- ganization is one of the most important in the school, as they have contributed so much to the Tech school spirit. There are no slack- ers among them. For this reason, the officers arranged a plan by which the club holds regular monthly meetings that contain in- teresting programs. Striving to make the lettermen stand out among other students, the club has experi- enced one of its most successful years since its organization. The group helped consid- erably in putting over a cleanliness drive which helped to make Tilden a clean and spotless school. By giving short talks to their classmates and performing various other tasks the club succeeded in its campaign. This year's club was led by William Bun- chak, President. He was supported by other prominent Tech stars like Milton Emery, vice president: Walter Frey, Treasurer: and William Maier, secretary, In the past, to become a member of this coveted club one had to endure many em- barrassing situations at initiation time. The candidate had to be run through a paddling machine, propose to teachers and strut about the corridors with a doll. Today the requirements are few and simple. In order to be accepted as a member of the Lettermen's Club one must have earned a leter in one of Tlden's many sports and must also have fair passing grades. To be a member of such an outstanding group should be the cherished ambition of every true Tilden athlete. . 1 - - FOOTBALL TEAM First Row: Snyder, Iohn Griffin, Reed, Hack, Novosad, Don Gleeson, Degitis, Emery.

Third Row: Bunchak, FOOTBALL We was robbed! might have been the vernacular of the famous Ioe lacobs if he could have witnessed the fierce grid war raged beween the Tech Blue Devils and the Fenger Titans. After the powerful Tech grid- machine had steamrollered the Central Sec- tion, thereby qualifying for a berth in the Public High School playoffs, they were blot- ted out by the Fenger Eleven on a slippery, muddy turf at Soldiers Field with a count of 13-0. Never before has any prep squad collect- ed such cr galaxy of stars as was assembled on the Blue Devil's team of '39. Not only was there a regular squad of fierce fighters but also a string of powerful reserves. With cle- ver strategy the Tech mentor, Charles Har- vey, would wear the opponent out in the first stanza with the use of reserves and in the second quarter would send in the fresh regular squad. Behind the powerful Tech stone wall line loomed Al Specius, Tilden's plunging full- back, who was the spearhead of many of the Blue Devils' onslaughts ripping up a total sea- son yardage of about 600 yards, the sum of which lead to the passing of the counting station eleven times. So great was the work of this demon of the gridiron that he was chosen as the finest fullback in Chicago's prepdom. Marich, Pelletier, Al Szczepaniak, Matt Frey, Moisan Whiteford, Ervin Oryl. Fourth Row: Davitto, Macievic, Ferreri, Victor Witt, Augustyn, Al Specius, Fencl, F. Vavrik. Flanked on Al's sides were Capt. Eddie Cycenas, fleet-footed half-back and field general, and Tony Marich, nimble-footed signal caller, who along with such other half backs as Bill Bunchak and Al Sczpaniak made up the regular Tech backfield. In re- serve strength of the backfield were such versatile stars as Milt Emery, Bugs Russef, Pete Vavrik and Erwin Oryl. Probably the most missed Fancy Dan was Eric Hoyer, a half-back who threw a most vicious block and was a main cog in the aerial maneu- vers. Eric was injured in the Harrison tilt. As usual the Blue Devils, forward wall was at its peak with a weight average of 190 pounds and with the charge of a team of horses. At the flank positions were the finest allotment of place kickers in prepdom with Farmer Peters connecting with a perfect tally of nine direct hits and Automatic Bill Augustyn putting nine between the uprights out of twelve attempts. Bill Moisan and Vic- tor Witt made up the snagging end of the aerial attacks. The tackles, positions bore most of the weight with Andy Novosad, Fats McGrath, Nunzo Ferreri and King Kong Klein blocking and opening holes. At the center post was Marv Heda who was awarded a position on the Chicago All Star team. CITY bw + WRESTLING TEAM First Row Givin, W. Robinson, Umperovitch, Griffin, W. Frey. M.

CHAMPS M WRESTLING Holding true to the threats made at the opening of the wrestling campaign this year, the Tech grapplers brought another wrestl- ing crown to Tilden. This championship came to Tilden as the blue and gold men out-wrestled Crane in a 24 to 14 win. The match, held at Crane, saw every regular in action. By beating Calumet in the semi-finals Til- den qualified to wrestle Crane for the title. Returning to the grunter's roster at the opening of the season were many stars. Lead- ing them was Capt. Walter Frey who had previously wrestled in the ll5 lb. class, but returned to wrestle in the 125 lb. class this year. Champion Mike Patzek, owner of the 105 lb. title also returned along with 95 lb. Mike Rolak, and 135 lb. Otto Perrotto, both title holders in their own class. When the grunters met our old rivals, Lind- blom, the boys displayed amazing power and great spirit. In this match the Lindblom squad suffered a 32 to B defeat. The day Proviso invaded our gym it was quite a different story. Although the Tech matmen fought hard they lost a heart- breaker by the close score of 21-19. Losing to Crane in a preliminary match for the city title did not slacken the grapplers' pace but instilled in them the will to win. This great determination brought Tilden out on top when they again met Crane in the city finals. The opening match saw Robinson CTD pin Losito KCD in 6:48. Following this bout Koules CCD bowed to State Champion Mike Patzek in a short 3:54. Rolak CTD struggled to a 12 9 decision over Calicchio in the 115 lb. class Captain Wally Frey also contributed his win to boost the Tech score when he won a de cision over Geranstein of Crane. Perrotto, the only Tech man who had to sweat for his victory, struggled with Petile chio of Crane to a 10-6 decision. Andy Novosad did his bit to add color and points to the Tech score card when he completely bewildered his opponent by pinning him in 20 seconds. Nearing the close of the meet Tavenner CCD beat Umperovitch KTD 20-5. This Crane victory was followed by two more, one a win on a decision, the other by pinning a Tech man. The decision went to Patterson CCD in the 175's and the pin was made by Esbrook CCD in 1:20 over Cummings ITD. The meet ended with Tilden, the new City Champions by 10 points. They Won 24-14 In the preliminaries, nine out of ten wres tlers came out victors. The winners Went to the qualifying meet where seven Techmen won places in the state meet. Of the seven winners only Mike Patzek returned with a championship. Otto Perrotto won second place in his class. wn.ue's Tao swmu.

Ioey Kasper was the leading scorer ac- counting for 67 points in eight league tilts. Gene Kosovski's 105 points paced the senior team in scoring, his total was ammassed during nine league encounters. Both Kas- per and Kosovski were named on the Chica- go Herald-American's all-Central Section teams. The juniors dropped two league games, losing their first home start of the season to Manley and later falling before an inspired Kelly quintet. Manley and Phillips each handed the seniors a setback in the course of the regular league race, while Manley tum- bld for the second time in a league play-off game. Both of the senior's early losses were heartbreakers, losing to Manley by one point and to Phillips by two points. After a series of pre-season practice tilts that saw them win seven while losing only two games, the juniors got the regular lea-- gue wars under way on Ianuary 9th when they trounced Farragut 31-22. The following day the seniors opened their season defeat- ing the Farragut seniors 33-29, after trail- ing 15-11 at the half. Manley routed the Tech juniors in their second start of the year 44-27, Ti1den's de- fense being unable to cope with the play of Manley's great forward, Bodnich. Bobby Burke and Ioe Roknich turned in standout performances for the Techmen. In keeping with the spirit of the thing the seinors also lost to Manley. The score 27-25. Following their defeat by Manley the jun- iors shifted into high gear and routed Du Sable, Phillips, Lindblom, Harrison and Gage Park in that order. They suffered ther second defeat of the season in their last league start when they were toppled 29-23 by an in- spired Kelly five. Kasper, Andrews, Burke, Wolinetz, Roknich, Caruso, Stevens Losh- bough, and Norrington were all standout performers as Coach Apking's juniors bat- tled their way to the city play-off's. As the season wore on the seniors began to find the range and led by Kosovski and Tuman they defeated Du Sable, Lindblom, Harrison, Gage Pak, and Kelly. This string of wins wan punctuated by a 24-22 loss at the hand of Phillips. The seniors chances for a with the graduation of lack Shepherd Eli play-off berth suffered a severe setback Marich, and Allen in February. With a city play-off berth awaiting the winner the seniors lost a 36-31 thriller to Manley. Kosovski, Tu- man, Shepherd, E. Maricich, Allen, Washing- ton, King, Zulp, Prebis, Haney, Yercich, and Maracich all performed on the senior squad during the course of the season. The juniors routed Parker, the South Sec- tion champions, in their quarterfinal battle to the tune of 45-19. The south siders were on the run from the start to finish and at one time they trailed Tilden by 31 points. In the semi-final game with Manley Tilden' play was ragged and erratic, this plus a dan- gerously slippery floor combined to send them down to defeat 27-16. Thus shattering their dreams of capturing the elusive city cage crown.

TRACK Continuing last year's good record the sen- ior track team took the 1940 City Indoor Track Championship with a grand total of forty five ponts. The second place team came across with 17 and one-half points, which gave the Gold and Blue a considerable mar- gin. In the '39 season the seniors won the In- door Crown and the juniors came right up for the Outdoor Title. The '39 senior squad was composed chiefly of the previous year's championship Iunior team. Last year the senior squad took City In- aoor with 21 and one-half points. Tyree con- tributed two firsts, in the 60 yd. dash and low hurdles. Bartkiewicz and Hoyer brought in two second places in field events. Norrington ended in a three way tie for fifth to score in the pole vault. In track, Captain Ioseph placed fourth in the mile. Watt, half miler took fifth in the 880. The relay team came in second to finish the meet. Iuniors in outdoor last year came out in front with a place in almost every event. Menken came in second in the 660. Mont- gomery brought in his share of points with first in the low hurdles. Cagwin placed in the 220. Golding soared to first place in the pole vault. Tolliver took first and Montgomery placed second in the broad jump. A senior team strong in dashes and field swamped this year's City Indoor to win by a 27 V2 point lead. Harry Tyree, Tildenfs star sprinter and hurdler, brought in ten points and broke a dash record. The record broken was one he had set before. The new mark stands, at :06.4. Frank Montgomery placed first in the hig hurdles and took second in the low. Bartkiewicz tied for third in the pole vault. The bar stayed at eleven feet eight inches. The indoor record for vaulting is twelve feet. Taylor leaped to first place in the high jump. Third place in the three standing jumps was taken by Tolliver. In the shot put Novosad took fourth place. Harlan Golding tied for fourth place in the pole vault. Taylor was the high scorer in the meet. He came out ahead with eleven points. He took first in the high jump and placed third in the high and low hurdles. The relay team also had lts moments and Won a thrilling half mile run. The team com- posed of Weber, Bartkiewicz, Grochowals- ski and Cagwin took first place. The team was running almost continuously in second until Cagwin received the baton. With 110 yards to go he passed the leader and sprint- ed to a brilliant finish.

He came to Tilden during the early part of this year and is succeeding Coach Durkin who has managed the team diligently for the past two seasons. This year's squad got off to an early start by working out in the large gym about three weeks before the weatherman decided that spring had finally arrived. It was during this time that Coach Weintraub used his Wide experience as a college and minor league ball player in selecting and molding a team of twenty members into a possible contender for the Central Section honors. Although Loria, a second baseman, Scott, a first base- man, and Lamantia, a pitcher, were the only returning lettermen on the team, the members looked and played like a great ball team because what they lacked in experience they had in spirit. The team proved this by going out and winning nine spring practice games while only losing one very close tilt to Kelvyn Park 9 to 6. Our Tech nine is well supplied with timely hitters, excellant fielders and smart hard- working pitchers. Co-captains Loria and Scott are great ball players who know this baseball and are always on their toes to see that their team gets what is coming to them. Tilden has two grand starting hurlers in Stampanotto and Outly and in case they should get in hot water Lamantia, Callahan, and Bunchak are always ready to put the clamps down in a pinch. Marich and Rokovitz are a pair of clever catchers with accurate arms. Short stop Kawula is an excellent infielder with a good eye at the plate. Konofsky, who holds down the hot corner, is a grand hitter and lead off- rnan. lust mention Wagner, Novaski, and Stanek and you have a fine trio of slugging outfield- ers. Gobis and Hawkenson are two more utili- ty outfielders who are quite handy at chasing that field. Laschober is an all around man in the infeld and also behind the plate. Ha- ney is a flashy frst sacker while Augustyn is a defendable pinch-hitter and all around man. Even though Tilden started the season off by losing four tough games out of seven they still have a possible chance to get in the play-offs. At the time this Went to press the diamondeers were in fourth place in the cen- tral division and had won their last two games. Following is the schudule to date: Tilden 4 ...... ......

In their few practise meets the swimmers seemed to be hitting a mid-season stride. But when the excitement of the sea- son's races, and the thrlls of the city meet ceased the senior seals emerged with a second place title. With swimmers like, Maier, Pachsky, Le- vitt, Iames Phillips and Iames Smith and divers like I-lolderman and Ferrer in the line- up, one can easily see why Coach Hartman held high hopes for his Senior seals. For their first section meet the swimmers invaded the Englewood pool and returned victorious. Both the seniors and the juniors outswam their adversaries. The seniors piled up an enormous score in this meet when their combined efforts totaled 50 points against Englewood's meager 5. The juniors also proved they were no slouches when they fought a very colorful battle and won 27 to 19. In the senior division Tilden nosed nto first place in each event. The winners in the 160 yd. relay were Carter, Nelson, Levitt and Pachisky. Other winners were Beckman 100 yd. breast, Maier, 100 yd. back, Smith, 100 yd. free: and Nelson, 200 yd. free. Following this push-over the senior a- quatic team went on to win the remainder of their meets in the Central secion. Here at Tilden the seals defeated the Lindblom men 44-ll and literally swam away with the section swimming title. In this meet the Tech water-bugs lost only one event. That was the 200 yd. free which went to Conway of Lindblom. The juniors also ended in trouncing Lind- blom when they surprised everyone, even themselves, by coming from behind and Winning 35 to ll. ....... . Not satisfied with the Central title, Tilden went South of the Border into the South section to trim Calumet and Parker, thus entitling them to the secion crown. In these two tilts he relay team paced a double vic- tory. The Calumet meet was another in which Tilden won all but one event. The unlucky race was that of Tomczyk and Beckman of Tilden and Brown of Calumet. In this, the 100 yd. breast, Brown emerged the winner. Up until the day of the city meet, the chances for a city championship looked very good for Tilden. Then came the big day and Lane as usual landed the fatal blow that helped them retain the title. Tilden, as you know, followed a close second, and Du Sable came puffing into third place. Next semester Pop will have the un- pleasant task of filling in the places left by his graduating stars. Iames Smith will be the only returning senior, but by next semes- ter Monfort, a junior and a very fine back- stroker will have turned senior along with Cade, Radomsky, Fuchs and others.

Davies, Pikul I SOCCER Winding up one of the most successful seasons in its history, the Tilden Soccer team concluded the 1939 Soccer season in third place in the High School League. They finished l point behind the leaders, Crane and Lane. Lane won the City title in a play- off. The season was very successful consider- ing that only one regular, Orve Johnson, was back from the preceding season. With a little break or two Tilden would have annex- ed another championship. Failure to score a penalty shot against Crane was the turn- ing point in Tilden's drive to win the title. Lane was out-played and was lucky enough to receive a tie. Outstanding players were Bimac-Goalie, Banny-OL, Tousek-IR, and Kelso-CH. Wojcik, Malloy and Mick did yeomen service throughout the season. Every year Tilden meets Oak Park and Morton, even though they are not in the City league. Each year these games, though not for any champioships, are hardly fought for and proudly won. Last year's tilt between Tilden and Oak Park Was a tough and hard contest. The final score was U-0 and through- SKATING Although the Tech Senior skating team did not live up to its usual custom of snatching the City Championship, the boys battled into a three way tie for second place. The Iuniors, however, seemed to be a shade superior to the Seniors. In their class the Iuniors turned in some great skating and managed to place a close second in the city meet. One of the reasons for this year's set back was the fact that Coach Christoffel had to contend with a group of inexperienced skaters. To add to his troubles the team went hrough a season of one bad break after another. The turning point in Tilden's march to the City Skating throne came about in the city finals. In this meet seven of the Tech skaters went down to kiss the ice . This unfortunate accident caused the team to lose a great number of points and consequently the city meet. To offset this streak of bad luck and to lift the spirits of the squad, two Techmen captured first place in separate 440 yard sprints. In these preliminary meets Berg and out the game one could distinguish a spirit as though the State Championship were be- ing played for. A real upset took place when Kelly whip- ped Tilden l-O on a penaly shot by Smith, fullback and captain of Kelly's team. Over- confidence was the main factor responsible for our defeat. Man1ey's hard fighting eleven was barely beaten on a last minute goal by loe Banny, trusty O.L. For the 1940 season Coach Blackshaw has the following players as prospects: Tousek, Center Forward: Kelso, Center Half: Pauga, Outside Bight: McEwan, Left Half: Golding or Breskowich, Outside Left: Tumas and Erickson, Fullbacks. The season's results were as follows Tilden Manley Tilden Crane Tilden Kelly Tilden Lane Tilden Hyde Park Tilden Amundsen Tilden Von Steuben Tilden Schurz Tilden Oak Park Tilden Morton Schmudde were the victors. When the 440 final race ended, Schmudde was second, closely followed by another Tech skater, Kapranos, who finished third. The ice cutters received a trophy for their splendid skating in the Ogden Park contest. Another was presented to them by the Chi- cago Tribune because of the large number of Tech skaters to enter the Silver Skates Derby. At the Ogden Park Skating meet the Blue and Gold squad again took the spotlight. Because of their exceptionally fine skating the team won practically every race in the meet. The boys deserving special mention be- cause of their achievements and their fine ability as skaters are, Gregory, Phillips, Berg, Schmudde, Kapranos, and Bracken. Unable to defend their state title because of the elimination of the State meets this year, the boys will retain the championship until the next meet when they will act as hosts.

It's your move. Iknow, I know. Ah! I win. Well, you wouldn't have won if I had moved my castle instead of the bishop. This goes on every day at the chess team's practice. With almost all its regulars having gradu- ated the chess team did not do very well this last season. Winning at least one-half of their games was not good enough to win the city championship as the team of the pre- vious season did. Minor letters will be award- ed to those on the team, but if they had won the city championship, members of the team would have gotten major letters. The pros- pects for the next season are very good: for many of this year's regulars are returning to win the great honor of the championship. Twenty dollars, made by Mr. Collin's chemistry show in the Tenth Annual Tilden Tech Circus and Homecoming, will back up the next year's chess and checker team finan- cially. BOWLING This was an exciting year for the bowling leagues. Teams fought off ties for first place and the individuals fought to get the highest average. Iames McDonough, who bowled with the Makops at Brucks had the highest average, 167, thus becoming the captain of the school team. The four leagues at Tilden this year bowl- ed at Brucks, Milo-Wiesners, Stevensons, and the Hyde Park alleys. The Five Nuts and the Makops tied at Brucks for first place. The Bingers won at Milo- Wiesners, the Pin Bus- ters at Stevenson, and the Number 3 team at Hyde Park. In the Christmas tournament at Archer's Recreation, on 35th Street, 850 boys and girls competed. Bob Nemec of Tilden won the third place trophy for Class B competition. At the first High School Bowling Congress 28 schools competed. Tilden's team, com- posed of Iames McDonough, captain, Wil- bert Miller, Stanley Omiecinski, Richard Cre- mieux, and Casimer Davidonis, took fifth place among the high schools, thereby earn- ing their Major letters. In the future Mr. Collins plans to have a chess tournament for the Sophomores and Freshmen. There will be fine prizes and the honor of being champions of Tilden for the winners. Mr. Collins, one of our fine chem- istry teachers, and also the coach of our chess team, will be looking for new talent for the team at this tournament. In the last season the checker team won over one-half of its games, repeating what it did the year before. The players on the team got Minor letters and are looking forward to getting their Major T's by winning the champ- ionship this next season. The team consists of five regulars and several substitutes. A few of the regulars are returning next year but Miss Uling, the checker coach, is depending on the new talent in the Freshman and Soph- omore classes. We hope that the chess and checker teams will win the championships of the leagues. Come on you Captain Blazes and Patrick Byans, come on and Win those championships for dear old Tilden! The 1940, 5th annual Tilden Tech Sweep- stakes was won by Iames McDonough, with Iohn Michal second, Edward Passel third, George Vickers fourth, and Iames Straniero fifth. There is an annual High School Bowling Banquet whch was held this year in the Grand Ballroom of the Stevens Hotel, on Sun- day the fifth of May. Two thousand one hun- dred and eighty-five boys, girls, men and wo- men attended. Beauitful championship shields were pre- sented by Mr. Pritzlaff to the Kelly High School. The boys' Bowling Club Trophy was presented to the boys of Lake View High School, and the girls' Bowling Club Trophy was given to the girls of Harrison High School. Mrs. Betty Ramsey the Secretary of the Women's Bowling Association of Chicago. flew in by airplane from Syracuse, New York, Sunday morning so that she could pre- sent the seventeen attractive plaques to the championship girls' team in each school. Tilden received eleven of the 875 medals presented. 9 QQ 1 s 1 Q11 l x 4, f- , X, .

He soon ripped the sheet out, read it while his face lit up with a smile. For now his story was complete! All left to do was to mail it to the judges of the contest. After seeking an envelope and stamp he eagerly sealed his precious manuscript and rushed out of the house to find a mail box. Returning home he sat down and wondered about his chances for Winning. It had taken him a week to write the story, one week of writing, correcting, and then recorrect- ing: for he wanted it to win first prize in the contest. The contest was the Tenth Annual Writer's Tour- nament conducted by the Scholastic Press Guild of Chicago. Twenty-seven different high schools in the Chicago area were represented in the contest. Prizes were to be awarded for Short Stories, Essays, Poetry. Editorials, Interview Features, General Features and Book Reviews. Altho our representative, Ted Wake, did not re- ceive first prize as he had hoped, he did Win second prize. His prize wnning short story is printed below. ' HONESTY by Ted Wake Harry stood on the street corner and shivered. A strong Wind bit through his threadbare coat and seemed to pull at the twelve dollars in his worn wallet. For all his twenty-four years, Harry felt like an old man. His muscles ached: his bones groaned: his head spun. All this soreness came from wheeling sand into a concrete mixer for eight hours a day three days a week at a measly four bucks a day. The pay was good but he didn't work long enough to make a decent amount of money and the work was back breaking. His slim frame shook as he stood waiting for the bus. His eyes traveled over the passing autos. His gaze fondled a new sport roadster. A tensing in his muscles shook him like an earthquake. If he only had a car! That was his only wish in life. A car, shiny, sleek, powerful. Oh! Any kind of car as long as it ran. Harry's twelve a week barely carried him through. Rents, eats and Grandma made his money go faster than it came. His one obsession, the desire to own and drive an auto, kept pressing him more and more. Now Harry was a light-fingered fellow. His grand- ma was all that kept him from making lifting his pro- fession. Now his resistance towards getting easy money broke down. As the minutes of waiting for the crowded bus wove on, he glanced around cau- tiously. The street was busy. People passed to and fro. An old white-haired man leaned against the cor- ner building and gazed stupidly at the passing crowd. Ah, a heavy-set, well to do businessman came near. Harry moved from the curb as if to Walk down the street. His shoulder jostled the businessman. He pre- tended to lose his balance, clutched the man for support and murmured apologies. The man moved on. Harry went the opposite way, a fat wallet warm- ing his thin twelve dollars in his worn coat. Boy, that wallet should get him a nice roadster and pay two weeks' rent besides. No time to look at it now. Must hurry home. Cripes! That white-haired fellow was following be- hind. Do you suppose--? The old man grabbed his arm and pulled him into a doorway. Gesturing quiet- ly, he told Harry not to become frightened. I'm not a cop son. Take it easy. His sad, quiet voice moved the lad. That was a bad thing to do. Have you got a job? Harry nodded dumbly, his heart in his mouth. Well, so you work and still try this stuff? Why? The old man scanned Ha1'ry's face keenly. When the lad didn't speak, he patted him assuredly and said, Well I know how it is. I was like that once. But it's bad. See my yellow skin? It took twenty years to get that. Go straight. You may not have everything you want but you'll be honest. You won't be afraid of every cop on the corner. And you'll keep out of the stir. Think of your family, Kid! Harry blinked. Two tears! rolled down his cheeks. The old man was right. He'd go straight. He didn't want to serve time, to have an ex-convict's complex- ion, to hurt his grandma. He would take the wallet to the police station and say he found it. He told the old man so and thanked him over and over again. A queer look penetrated the old man's face. He gave Harry a hug, turned and was gone. The excited youth squared his shoulders and turn- ed out of the hallway. His hands went into his coat pockets as he headed for the police station. Suddenly he stopped and ran back. Up and down the street he looked. When? Where? Nowwhere was there a sign of the old man. He was gone-Gone! And so was the fat wallet and Harry's twelve bucks! So, Iones is dead. Did he leave his wife much? Yes, nearly every night. Say there, old man, cannot yo play honest? I know what cards ah dealt you. SENTIMENTALITY OF THE SANDWICH by Carl A. Berntson Lo and behold, to all famished and food seeking peoples of the civilized world, what is more heavenly to the hunger-panged stomach than the vision of the culinary concoction called the sandwich, pro- nounced sand-witch , emphasis on its lusciousness? Lifesaver to the thousands, pleaser of millions and a job of construction within the abilities of all! Lifesaver, for it occupies a place in every lunchbox, newspaper rolled package or brown paper sack. Pleaser of all, for all depend on its succulence, its variety, its simplicity, its divine fragrance and still more its divine taste. And certainly the ease of con- struction is an asset beyond compare. Few cannot lubricate sliced bread, crown it with the necessary delicacies and then top it with the golden brown crusted upper-deck slice. An expert is necessary to maneuver these articles in the dark of a midnite foray upon the white walled refrigerator at the stroke of twelve. So you say, what type of creation invites such fluid speech? My friends, no food has such variety of scrumptious goodness according to the discretions of your palate or the fortitude of your abdomen. There are amateur concoctions and there are the pro- ducts of masters who learnt their trade through devious methods. Sandwich slapping is an early urge. Youngsters begin with jam on bread when left alone with the makings: and as the intelligence and desire for advancement increase, it dawns that a layer of butter will waterproof the bread against the ravages of too moist spreads. But jam and jelly are a monotonous fare, so mixtures follow as the result of increasing age. Peanut butter basted with grape jelly is a new sensation enjoyed by the fast growing experimenter and faster growing appetite, plus the desire to cease fasting. But meloncholy sets in: for youth demands more substance to its food and thus is born the urge to include the most heartening part of a hot meal, meat. That Sunday roast, waiting for the hash knife should slice easily. So the errant butcher desecrates the lonely roast and embarks upon the sandwich a la meat. Even the bliss of this does not last the steady consumer very long: so he eyes his dinner plate again and is struck by the thought of adding still more nourishment. The potato is his answer. Fried potatos are bitter when cold, boiled potatos are a faux-pas to the sandwich artist, but French Fries are the key to the problem. Again evolution gains ground as gravy from said roast is warmed and added. This may be eaten with a knife and fork on a plate. After adolescence constant hunger for a light snack is somewhat appeased, but then during later life there is a strange desire to venture after some deli- cacies around midnight. Then the sandwich maker is approaching the climax of the art. Night work requires fortitude against cold or heat and no fear of the dark. Dexterity and the ability to fry or Warm delicacies with absolute silence are necessary. Stran- gely enough, no one type of sandwich satisfies. Masterpieces of midnight snacks may include every- thing in the icebox, excluding liquids. A personal observation is necessary, however: so I will relate my own Olympian feat. First came a slice of day old bread, heavily buttered, then slices of cheese, bologna, veal loaf, ham, minced ham, roast beef and a lonely boneless chop. Spreads of peanut butter, apple butter, grape jelly, jam C5 varietiesl, marmalade and salad dressing were put in between the above slices to act as a sort of sand- wich cement. Then a layer of French Fried potatos and a mixture of sardines and anchovy paste was smeared on to add a bit of flavor. The garnish con- sisted of olives, strawberries, a slice of brick ice- cream imbedded with onions and a hot fried egg on the Iersey side, hep, hep. But alas! I stood back and admired my work and was about to gorge myself with its goodness when I noted the cataclysmic height of it. It measured five and one half inches, crust to crust: my mouth but two and a quarter inches: a sob escaped my lips, I was inconsolable at my loss and since I was unwill- ing to reduce its size I had it stuffed and mounted and it now hangs in my boudoir. GOOD REASON The class was watchng Mr. Wasserman of the Chemistry department giving a demonstration of the properties of various acids. Now said Mr. Wasserman, I am going to drop this half dollar into this glass of acid. Will it dis- solve? Noi replied Iohnson. Then perhps you will explain to the class Why it won't dissolve. Because, came the answer, if the half dollar would dissolve you wouldn't drop it in. Dumb Students: How long can I live without brains? Cruel Teacher: Time will tell! Chemical Definition of a teacher: Disturbing element in a student's life. FUTURE COMMUNICATION Would you be surprised if someone handed you asmall plastic case, told you it was your own private radio which would enable you to talk with anyone carrying a similar set, and advised you to dial a friend? If it happened today of course you'd be sur- prised. In fact you'd not only be surprised but you,d possibly hand the case back to the person and tell him to find a nice shady spot where he could rest his weary brain. But what about tomorrow? Could such a thing be possible? Will we ever be able to carry around our sending and receiving sets and talk to our indnvidual friends with the flick of a dial? The future holds the answer to that, of course. But perhaps we could be a bit more optimistic about it all if we glanced into the past and traced the pro- gress of communication for a half century or so. Communication is nothing more or less than the transference of thoughts from one person to another. Way back when our forefathers came to this country the Indians conveyed their thoughts by means of drums and signal fires. In pioneer days during the settling of the West the Pony Express was considered a terrifically fast method of communication. Then when Morse proved the worth of his telegraph in 1841 people thought that the very pinnacle of commu- nication had been reached. In turn Alexander Gra- ham Bell proved to a doubting world that his tele- phone was practical. Today there are around forty- million telephones in the world and people are won- dering if perhaps the future day will come when they will be able to see each other as they talk back and forth over the wire. Radio started as an industry in the early 1920's after energetic men like Marconi had paved the way. Today radio has developed into one of the world's largest industries. What tomorrow will bring one hesitates to predict. The idea of in- dividual person to person wireless sets, as I mention- ed at the beginning of my talk, is one branch of radio that should be interesting to Watch develop. Television is without a doubt the newest and most fascinating method of communication. Scientists and engineers promise that in a very short time millions of people who now own radios will be sitting before television sets usng their eyes as wel las their ears. There is one mystic means of comunication that has been brought before the public at different times, which I hesitate to mention. That is, mental telepa- thy, a field of individual thought transference which demands much more research and study by the scientist of tomorrow. To sum things up we find that communication has made unbelievable progress since the pony express. With the knowledge that the world has acquired in the field of communication in little over a half cen- tury, the scientist and engineer of tomorrow has a firm and well grounded base upon which to make his experiments. And I believe I can safely say that before another half century is past the world will see advances in communication that would seem fan- tastic to the educated man of today. - Iohn Vacca V IOE TILDEN Tilden, the home of over four thousand students takes great pride in presenting to the world at large a splendid example of youthful America - Ioe Tilden. He is the composite of the best characteristics of all Tildenitesp he possesses honesty, trustworthiness, courtesy, scholastic ability, and athletic prowess. To achieve the above picture we took the hair and brow of one outstanding senior, the eyes and nose of another, and lips and chin of a third. Not only did this arrangement develop into a veritable Apollo, but it also managed to garner the best qualities and char- acteristics of Tilden's finest. All subscribers to the Craftsman engaged in a game of skill and entertainment in connection with this picture. Two valuable prizes were offered to the persons most accurately naming the three seniors in the Ioe Tilden composite picture. All entries were in by I une 19 and the official entry ballots were published in the Times. No doubt the picture above will appear in later years in the papers and magazines as depicting the great president of the United States, the great scien- tist, or he great engineer. GUEST PAGE Since last year's guest page feature was such a popular one with the student body, the Craftsman Staff decided to send out letters again to prominent people and ask for their photograph, autograph and message. From over sixty letters sent out all over the country, the staff received over thirty replies, a very generous return. Besides the pictures you see on the following pages we also received some personal letters. Iohn Kieran, famous radio star on Information Please , said he never kept any photographs handy and couldn't send us any but wished us all the luck in the world. Deanna Durbin was also generous: altho she did not favor us with a photo. However, she wrote Don Thiem a personal letter asking him if the Crafts- man had received a message written earlier extend- ing her good wishes to the Craftsman. The Craftsman is unhappy to relate its letter never arrived, but Don Thiem's face still wears a beaming smile and his heart wears Deanna's letter. Messages that were enclosed with photographs and that extended hopes for the great success of the Craftsman came from Thomas E. Dewey and Mayor Edward I. Kelly. The secretaries for President and Mrs. Roosevelt regretted that the time of the execu- tive and his wife was too limited for them to answer our requests. Probably our most interesting and flattering letter came from Bela Lugosi. We quote: You asked me, in your recent letter, to send you an autographed photograph and a few words of in- terest. It is easy for me to send the picture. That is a simple request. But the few words of interest .... that's something else again. It is an assignment on which even a great writer might fail. So, since I am not a great writer, let me just supply you with a few words .... and leave it to you to deter- mine how interesting they are. I would like to greet the students of Tilden Tech- nical High School as a group of young people who, in the very fact that they have enrolled in a technical school, have shown that they have more than ave- rage foresight. It is a technical age. It is no ordinarything for a young person to be sufficiently aware of this to seek training that will fit him for work in the many vast and still growing fields. The students of Tilden Technical High School are to be complimented for their recognition, so early in lfe, of the trend of the times. My work as an actor is virtually the direct opposite of what theirs, as echnicians, will be. Upon leaving school they will find themselves working with mate- rials of weight and substance .... material things. I deal in material that has neither weight nor sub- stance .... imagination. The two are far apart. Yet I urge you not to let your mind take too material a turn. Imagination is a great force. Drink deeply and well at the fountain of technological knowledge. Yet, at the same time, keep the spark of imagination alive. Combine it with technology and your name may some day be listed with those of Edison and Marconi. With kindest regards, Sincerely, Csignedl Bela Lugosi All Tildenites will appreciate the ideas presented in the above letter and again will compliment them- selves on their good judgment in choosing Tilden for their school. We are sorry not to be able to reproduce a Walt Disney cartoon. It is the first time he has neglected us since our Guest Page was inaugurated. However, so many important personages did favor us with their messages and photographs that we feel justly proud in presenting them to you. OUR GUESTS It was Abe Lincoln in Illinois Raymond Massey who told me Paul Thompson's Blackhawks were playing Drums Along The Mohawk during the Alle- gheny Uprising. Mayor Kelly of Boy's Town told Little Caesar Edward G. Robinson that if he didn't soon get on The Road To Singapore lack Buck Benny would Ride Again and give him 20,000 years In Sing Sing. Vivien Leigh is Gone With the Wind of loe Louis giving 3 cheers for the Irish. Linda Dar- nell, The Daytime Wife, pulled a Magnificent Fraud when she went out with Yehudi Ierry Colona. Bette Davis, The Old Maid, saw Horace Heidt in Cafe Society playing Alexander's Ragtime Band but Orrin Tucker and Bonnie Baker maintain that Some Like It Hot. Iimmy Cagney turned on The Light That Fail- ed on Black Friday and found Bela Lugosi Behind The Hidden Staircase. Bob Hope on The Isle of Lost Men said The Rains Came and washed the Angels With Dirty Faces Snow White. Mary Martin just got fired from the Great Victor Herbert because she served him The Blue Bird and The Grapes of Wrath. Ted Weems looked like Pinocchio when Mike Kree- vich hit a home run across the Sidewalks of London into The Shop Around The Corner. Bob Ripley says Believe It Or Not Gold Is Where You Find It .

At the start of every semester about 4500 students are put back on their heels by the call, Pay your C.l.C. . After you graduate you ask for your money and you receive it. That is, you think you do until you realize just what happens to you. If you investigate the whereabouts ot this money you will gather the following report. lU'X, ............ Support of Revolution lO'X, ............ Lost on Dark Nights ZUCK: .......l..ii Bookies aren't Starving 202 ............ For our own personal use 40? ............ Lord only knows STOO-DENT COUNCIL This organization does its utmost to cur- tail all good manners. Members of the coun- cil see that there is some sort of disturbance during the day and if there isn't any they start one. All rules are under strict law to be broken by fair means or foul. Students eli- gible for this organization must be profes- sional troublemakers or have a prison re- cord. Representatives from the council usually become the outstanding members of the Soap-box Brigade and of the Doolittle Poli- tical Party. CIVIC LETTERS Civic letters are now awarded to those students who do their best to do just what their sponsors don't want them to do. These boys are given the letters for the nominal fee of thickty fife thents. After the letter is awarded to the students they are allowed to carry them around in glass cases. If ct let- ter is refused to any stoo-dent, he is allowed to have Tom Dewey prosecute him. You are allowed to wear the letter around your neck as an ornament. It can also be used for rapid identification in F. B. I. files. DITCHING This activity is one of the most respectable in school. The ditchers either wait till the guard falls asleep and then they tip toe out the door, or if he doesn't fall asleep they us- ually slug him. This is to give the guard an excuse to catch up on his sleep or regulate the screws in his brain. , CORRAL CLUB fhis club allows all boys who think they know how to sing a chance to air out their sickly lungs. Of course the dust that comes out is filled with bacteria and not governed. This makes it necessary to carry paper wads with you just in case some guy decides to see if he can reach high Members use after practise hours for corraling all surplus money from students. THE APPEASEMENT DINNER The swankiest social function of the year is the Appeasement Dinner. The teachers all get together and invite their worst enemies in the student body. They give them a real blowout and attempt to sooth their injured feelings. The success of these Appeasement proceedings is reflected in Tilden's Teacher Mortality Rate. Out of 200 teachers only 199 have been bumped off Cstout fellow, that Mr. Mohlerb. Usually the lads hit the jackpot, however. MALADIUSTMENT OFFICE Dis is de place where de boys get straight- ened out. De man wot runs de joint is a right guy. Gives you info on de rackets one should get into on the outside. Bue he don't take no lip. See? When de boys get into jams he gives dem de once over and out dey come okay. If youse guys need your brains an- alyzed see de boss in the adjustment cell. He's da guy for my dough. Dis joint is run by tree wise guys. Menton Stresswomon, Ioe Waterboy and Silver Goldie. BULL SHOOTERS CLUB Organized under the stern leadership of Nutto Bunko. This club has not much to offer but they say they have. All the members are professional at bull shooting. Although it's enrollment is fifty the members claim that it is 1000. That's a lot of bunk ain't? or ain't it? W.P.A. This charitable institution is already mak- ing room for the grads of all high schools and colleges and-. This institution is ready and willing to accomodate us well trained young men. Well trained!!?? Well that's what we are supposed to be, isn't it? We walk into this charitable educational institution and walk out into another charitable institution, namely W.P.A. THE BOOBY SHOW This year Tilden held its fiftieth annual centennial Booby Show in the large Blue Room. Row upon row of dusty exhibits lined the floor and ceiling. Hoss liniment was pass- ed out at the door to be used on rubbernecks The most interesting exhibit this year was a fine collection of crackfedl pots exhibited by Vacca and Thiem. Yards of blue ribbons were handed out which were pinned on the actual scale model of the Twardy Queen Mary. IKE CORNYVITCH f t 'Ali Q2 f QL 'J Jr:-XX .,-.. - ,f ,,.

Some of the World's most uncouth world champions of the team are Iocko Blocko, Tony Boloney, Jimmy Valentine, and Percival Raffles. Capt. Yehudi Confucius still says We wuz gyp- ped when they lost the championship to Ducy Flower Wreck . Our team is coached by Mr. Cuckoo Baloon and Mr. Ioetovich Sesslerinski. It excels in money making, poison gas condition, lunchroom stealing. Two of this team's Sing Sing honor members were the great 41st and 42nd thieves of Ali Babba's 40 thieves. THE BEAN SPILLER This .,.,..,r fwell that's all it isl called The Bean Spiller is produced by the students of this school. The pictures in this paper are there to inform you as to which students the law finally caught up with. Whenever this paper is slow to come out it is either the print shop on strike or the staff hasn't gotten, well you know what.

DISHONOR CLUB This club has been denounced by the ex- grads of this school because it is believed that it softens up its members too easily. lVlost of itsmembers are usually twenty to thirty semester men.-Hold it!!!--Ieep Shover is now president-Dr. Whatofit? Oh him? Well the spots in room 317 are not paint spots, they are Dr. Whatofit. I am not going to give you the names of the officers of this club be- cause by the time this book reaches you they will be ancient history or the revolution will have used them for its purpose. CLEAN-UP COMMIT-IT This very fine organization is here at Til- den to see that no boy under any circum- stances carries too much money in his poc- kets. lf he does and finds it gone he can read- ily refer to the Clean-up-commit-it organiza- tion. In making requests for missing money or articles it is best to do so with your clothes glued to your skin because if you don't you- 're likely to come out in your bee-v-dees. fl Q'11'9'x 97 f ff E, i 7 'Q J X X Wh x f 'x,lQ k: ' f at ,f .fg l fi VZ- 0 x.

MAD ARTIST Drawing is Williamson's meat, As an artist he just can't be beat, He draws all he sees. With the greatest of ease, With his paint brushes heaven's complete HUNGRIEST For hungriest Backer's our nominee. Farever hungrier he'll be, He's a sight to behold, With a lunch, size untold. He forgets too much means stomach misery. LAZIEST Yes, from hard work he'll never For Prebius is one lazy guy, die. Fro mover exertion he'll never die, No work done you will see He's asleep under a tree, His brains cou1d'nt click if he'd try. ROLLER SKATER At skatiny, Boy Grzena is great, On those Wheels he surely tempts fate, His grace is terrific. We won't be specific, We're sure he's one lad who's first rate. RAQUETTEER Ryland, Ti1den's top raquetteer, Really does that tennis ball smear, His playing is graceful, His expression distasteful, For there's no large crowd to cheer. BASHFUL No one more bashful yet, In few activities does he get, Yes, Emery's so shy, One just says: why? But we all admit he's teachers pet. MOVIE STAR Frank Petro is crowned Movie Star, We all know that he will go far, He's big and he's handsome, He might be kidnapped for ransom. 'Ne all try his hair not to mar. WALTZER At work Pete Petrich is fine, Never one dance will he decline, His form is so graceful, It really is tasteful, For it many dancers do pine. ARCHITECT Brockman is our famed architect, A house that he builds will not wreck He's good with his pencil, Even better with a stencil, The designer at Tilden Tech. PROFESSOR As professor, Landini's the best, In his work he leads all the rest, Plenty of gray matter he's got, In math he is hot, As he gets the best grades in each test. POLITICION The goofiest, gaffiest, craziest guy, He opens his mouth and shouts to the sky, He's Schutt our technician, Mistake, Politicion, He ought to be hit by a raspberry pie. PENNY PINCHER As a penny pincher Rosenberg's tops. When it's time to shell out he just stops, His wallet's so old , It's interior has mold, In fact its moths seek new flops I CLOCK WATCHEB Ciralsky's our clock watcher today, His attention never wanders away From the face of the clock, Which runs slow from the shock, At least, that's what the teachers do say. FAT STUFF Ringl'1ofer's Tilden's Fat Stuff, I-Ie certainly is, sho' 'nuff, He's clumsy as can be, And it's easy to see, That he is just a big bluff. BOOK WORM Moritz, Tech's bookworm seeks to learn, Even if the midnight oil he must burn, His books sure do show it, As we all do know it. Could be his teachers are stern! APPLE SHINER Red apples for someone Pearson does shine. This boy just polishes while others pine, His job is just splendid. We wish he would end it, O boy, the S s his teachers do sign. ROMEO Bob Fallon is always surrounded, By gals he's continually hounded. He's a true Romeo, Many places to go, By gals he's continually bounded, SHADOW A shadow is Edward Puckorius, As follower he's truly laborious, Dependence complete, From his head to his feet, Makes him glad that there aren't any more of us. HOOPER Tumari is the tech hooper. He certainly is a snooper, That basket he hits, If not he gets fits, But just the same he's a good trooper. ,465 ,-2' 'iii QNXXX 't -A l I. L x :, ll! Z i il mt.

Cause he's in the Lab MASTER MIND Bill Smith is a great master mind, There ain't many more of his kind, Trig is just play, Chem out of the way, As an Einstein he sure is a find. DEBATER lack Smith, one sorrowful lad, In debating is painfully bad, Alter a match he does pant, For argue he can't, And this does make him very sad. EMILY POST Tillie Tilden, our Emily Post, Oi fine speech and manners he's most, If be so he must, We all should be just, In voting Bill Canning a toast, IRON HEAD Orve Iohnson is Tilden's iron head, But playing you'd think he was dead, When he kicks with his feet, He lands on his seat. Coach Blackshaw sent him home to hed. IITTERBUG Where there's music you'll always find Bartz. You'd think he was minus some parts. When he starts in buggin. The floor he's soon huggin, For he still has to learn these fine arts. LOVESICK Without girls poor Marszalek goes crazy, To him all the school work is hazy. He looks with a sigh At all skirts that go by. For he's lonesome without Daisy Waisy MUSCLE MAN Little Mike Patzek with muscles abounds. His energy on a mat really astounds, His wrestling by far, Labels him star, All he needs is additional pounds. SCHOLAR Our friend Knutzen is one grand scholar At extra work he never does holler, To him it's delish, For him we do wish, A chance to earn many a dollar.

Smaniotto's his name And no one's to blame If he gets socked between his brown eyes. FOOTBALLER There's a lad here at Tilden Tech Who is known for his kicking, by hek. At football his toe Causes enemies woe And their line can't advance one little speck. PALLEST In his class Firlit's taller by fai. In height he is far over par, But he has an advantage He can easily manage To stand up and reach for a star. TANKER As a tanker, Pachisky's a honey: In a race he's as fleet as a bunny. But out of the tank His mind's just a blank, For around girls he really acts funny. APOLLO Gene Smaltz for Apollo-Oh Joy! How the girls do follow that boy. This modern Beau Brummel Is due for a tumble For his bashfullness all do enjoy. SHORTEST This guy Erickson is very small, He's as short as Firlit is tall: Altho tiny, he's clever, And is watchful forever, Otherwise he'll get stepped on in the hall. STOOGE Siska's the stooge of our school, He's everyone's tool Do this! No! do that He couldn't get fat: These people are all so cruel.

After watching a group of gaudy colored pleasure ships perform acrobatic antics in the azure sky, I turned on my Sherman televiso set. The first thing to come to life on the gray screen is Ioe Ringhofer, sports commentator, giving the details of the lnternatonal Olympics held in Switzerland. These were won by loe Phillips, with Frank Gregory a close second. The seven sets of Ioe Phillips quintuplets out-cheered the whole U. S. cheering section because of their high enthusiasm for their daddy. An interesting bit of news from baseball is that Iohn Vacca, owner of the National Techs base- ball team, has given Eli Wagner a Sl00,000 bonus for batting out 500 home runs in one season. In the world of wrestling, the two Mikes, Patzek and Rolak are reaping in money from their profes- sional wrestling. lack Sanatra and Otto Perotto are also doing very well with their titles. Now we hear Nick Celich, Hollywood columnist and voted authority on books. His first bit of news is that lim Holderman, swimming star, has just receiv- ed a five year contract to play the part of Tarzan for Roy Wolfe Pictures Inc. George Steinhauser, talent scout for Alex Phillips Pictures, has just signed up Gene Smaltz to play the part of the mushy, love sick dope for seven years in the movies. lohn Firlit, noted author, has just written another successful book, en- titled Love and Laugh. Of Firlit's last five books, 3 have been made into movies featuring such well known actors as Robert Radomski, Bruno Pachisky, Ed Puckorius, Bill Sinclair and Jerome Wolski. Station TEKK features a fiery speech delivered by propaganda minister Don Thiem. It is a speech of thanks to politicians Gene Schutt, Wm. Yandel, and Eberhard Hamer for their invaluable aid in hard cash to him for his campaign of propaganda against dictatorship. He also thanks our foreign embassadors Frank Petro, Fred Saur, Chester Umperovitch, Christy Bulovic and Frank Vavrik for their fine cooperation in distributing the printed leaflets. Secretary of War, Walter Landini, and Secretary of State, Ioe Morrison are also thanked for their co- operation in the campaign for a safer and saner world. Now the genial face of the announcer Sam Pres- tinareo, appears and he tells that it is exactly 3:00 o'clock through the courtesy of the Frank Knutzen Square Toothpick Co. The Leonard Miller Broadcasting System takes us to Chicago for the christening cermonies of the Chi- cago Terminal of the new transcontinental subway. The Mayor of Chicago, Walter Kasper, delivers an address concerning the great adance in transport- ation provided by this subway. He praises the fine work of its designers, builders, mentioning among the foremost, designers Edward Neidel, Leonard Narel and LeRoy Brockman, and builders Tony Smaniatto, Fred Wisniewski and Robert Lunebach. There is a loud blast of applause and we are taken back to the station where a bit of news is presented to us. Chemists Nat Hartnell, William Iohnson and Walter Kapranos of the Bill Collins Chemical Works, have just succeeded in making a new explosive that is a thousand times as powerful as any known ex- plosive. General Eugene Stark of the army has order- ed a hundred thousand tons of this explosive for army use. Chemist Walter Sanojca has just dis- covered a way to make synthetic brains. He an- nounces he will use many of these brains to pull his mind out of the gutter. After station identification the Travel Program, sponsored by the Balcerzak Cracker Co. comes on the air. On this program the radio audience is taken to various places of interest. The first visit is to the Harry Peterson Experimental Farm. Here we see Farmer Elmer Foster holding a new plant which he himself developed. It is a very delicious food, for it is a cross between a peanut, a potato and a watermelon. Now we are taken to McGovern Ball Park to see part of a ball game. The first we see is not the game but the peanut vender who is none other than Roman Backer peddling his wares. Playing on the field we see such famous big leaguers as Ioe Scott, Edward Calahan, lohn Stampanatto, Sam Spinelli, lim Kono- fsky and Gene Loria. ln box seats are such famous athletes as Harry Tyree, Gene Kosovski and Milton Emery. Frank Dworak, Eitel Kirsch., Marv Bedaloe, and Ted Wake represent the editorial world while lack Smith and Bob Menken represent the world of prominent speakers. Umpiring the game is Ioe Stra- brawa assisted by Tony Strazyk, Dick Nash and Har- old Hawkenson. Here the Travel Program takes us to the Persico Ballroom to hear music of the Red Blues Orchestra with Russel Pearson, the baton pushing maestro, do- ing his own announcing. Among the foremost musi- in his orecestra are Ben hm6um6Am69l57juhz p cians in his orchestra are Ben, Yahudi, Ianeczko clar- inetist, Walter Carlson and Frank Carter famous man- dolin and guitar duet, Robert Hermansen at the piano, Leo Palma violinist and indispensable Harry Smol at the drums. Last but not least, is David Lavey the Singing Romeo, Their first selection is that new piece The Tilly Blues , written by that famous com- poser Iohn Michal. A very beautiful exposition of graceful waltzing is given by Peter Petrich, the al- ways sought after dancing partner. Then suddenly my radio televiso begins to do fun- ny things. It tunes itself from station to station, at first slowly and then faster. First Isee Iohnny Grzena, Roller Derby Champ, then Robert Menke the modern Einstein. Then Isee Allan Whiteford, president of the Baker's Association presenting Herb Hellmer and lack Flynn transcontinental knitting champs, being presented with medals for baking the best pies. Now I see the presentation of a medal to Eddie Schroeder, ten pin king. Here I hear an advertisement of a sale at the Canning Millinery Shops. The sounds and pictures grow fainter and all I can distinguish are such famous names as George Knetl, Moe Wolinetz, Henry Bollacker, William Smith, Harold Hultgren and Earl Boehm. Finally the faces and speeches fade completely. Yes, even a radio- televiso can break down but the star of the grad- uates of 1940 will never grow dim. Gregory Crystal-Gazer Sienkiewicz SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the proud and mighty seniors of the grad- uating class, herewith give up all our earthly pos- sessions aforekept here at our glorious alma mater, Tilden Tech. We resolve not to take with us any of the school, that is walls, ceilings and corridors. We will have all the lathes and shapes intact in the machine shop. We will however, take with us all knowledge C?D gained here in our four years of learn- ing C?l. Be it known to all ye present, past and future that in front of a duly sworn wicktomaniac at the date and place ascribed below, we of an insane mind and unsound body do ordain and bequeath the following: To Dr. Lunak: Upon his retirement may he take a tour of the world so he may enjoy life for a change. To make the trip more interesting may he compare the various types of sodas and beverages by sipping a bottle of soda at each stop without the artful use of a straw. To Miss Sass: May her retirement be a pleasant one. We bequeath to her a stack of Shakespearean poems and a few books on old Chinese philosophy t'Confucius say'l. To Miss Wright: A stack of self-signed early dis- missal passes and an office guard system which accomplishes something besides clock watching. To Dr. Humiston: CThe quack doctorl A farm out in Wisconsin where he may fish to his heart's con- tent, a sweltering blistering hot sun to make him sweat out and regret some of those fish stories he told us. May he establish an office where he will take care of the army of Tildenites with frostbites, sprain- ed arms, legs etc. with his medical knowledgeC?l To Alexander Musclebound Stevens: A large green and yellow checkered bag-pipe on which he may entertain his classes instead of the usual ad- lib, also a special sound proof glass cage in which he may be enclosed while playing. To Mr. Myers: A new fangled wrench which can be used to screw down right and left handed nuts. tAnd we don't mean the seniors.J To Mr. Woerner: A new portable with no roof. windows or doors, right next to a wind tunnel and underneath a waterfall. This is so the dumbest stu- To Dictator Mathie: A speechless, soundless, microphone by which he may speak to an uninter- ested machine shop class on the new fangled do- ogamajig he invented. This, a new fishing device, is a meter above water which tells the size, weight and type of fish that is nibbling on the hook. If too small it is frightened away by a picture of Mr. Mathie flashed in the water by an electrical impulse. dents may soak up the cleanest type of knowledge. To Miss Gallagher: A 100 page paper that can- not be criticized and a really efficient news staff that will write a few love stories that won't be cen- sored. To Flatfoot Sessler: A real mystery. The cor- ridors of Tilden are bare because ............ somebody has stolen all the lockers. Nobody was seen taking them out. Poor Sessler fWorry, Worry, Worry.J To Cent-a-day Sterzer: A group of energetic students who will turn their drawing plates in ahead of time, so instead of their paying him for being late, he will pay them for being early. To Backwoodsman Rummel: A half pint can of pink paint, and an artist's brush so that he may paint his cabin up in the North Woods. To Circus-Man Kuehl: In view of his complaints on labor concerning the Circus we give a 24 hour night and 6 hour day so that he may rest up for the coming Circus. To Miss Lawler: To her we give a thousand gross of roses with exotic, alluring aroma de garbage. Perhaps we shall also include a bottle of ammonium hydroxide to neutralize the effect. To Capt. Stube: A self waving, illuminated baton and to Mr. Fischer an orchestra that can play. To Count Kneebends Parkhill: A suit of armour for him to go swimming in. But shucks! He never goes in water over two feet deep. To Gay Ninetiesl' Hartmann: A job modeling black and white striped bathing suits in an old fash- ioned bathing beauty contest. To Miss Kritzer: Now that it's leap year a nice look- ing, well built, sparkling 1941, 4door Buick fsurprisel. May she have many happy trips and pleasant re- turns. To Mr. McGeoghegan: A gold plated lathe with diamond studded gears for him to remember Tilden during his retirement. To Mrs. Pearce: A contraption rigged up for the making of the Craftsman. All she has to do is talk into it and it will linotype, assemble, proof-read and compose the Craftsman. To the Lunchroom: A mechanical paper-picker- upper and -- Oh Ioy More pretty waitresses like Betty. To the Freshmen: Not the usual steam heated lockers but a new invention of our own creation. A portable locker with built in radio and heater as well as an electric shaver. Each locker will be equipped with a chair, bed and 2000 horsepower motor, and jumbo balloon tires. Stairs will be converted into runways for the purpose of accomodating these vehicles. The seats will be removed from the class- rooms where the pupils will arrange their vehicles according to the alphabet. To the Sophomores: A two hour school day begin- ning at 10:00 A.M. for laterl and ending at 12:00 noon for earlierl. This time will be divided into 40 minutes of sleeping, 5 minutes to fill fountain pens, 15 minutes to get to the next class which will be lunch for the remaining hour. For the Iuniors: A complete mimeographed course Ccompiled by us seniors! on the art of studying les- sons and doing homework. This course will be com- plete in all details, and is not in the experimental stage. It has been tried and fully approved by us seniors with gratifying and otherwise perfect results. To the Seniors: CThat's us.D A specially reserved 200 acre plantation in the Hawaiian Islands where we may Cto our hearts' content! eye all the beautiful girls. Also we bequeath to ourselves a free run of Hollywood with the privileges of playing the hero's part at any desirable time.

Asked to write a short interpretive composition on the goose, -Smaniotto wrote: The goose is a low, heavy-set bird, composed mostly of meat and feathers. His head sets on one end and he sets on the other. He cannot sing much on account of the moisture in which he lives. He car- ries a toy balloon in his stomach to keep from sink- ing. A goose has two legs and they set so far back on his running gear that they come pretty near missing his body. Some geese when they get big are called ganders. Ganders don't have to set and hatch, but just loaf, eat and go swimming. If I was a goose, I'd rather be a gander. Does your girl know much about automobiles, Pear- son ? No, she asked me if I cooled my car by stripping the gears. FAMOUS LAST LINES ........... Save me the butts, Bud. I match YOU now. Why did I get this D? Oh I see.
