PLACEMENT The Placement Office, which endeavors to find positons for Tildenites, has been a busy place this last year. In charge of this service is Mr. Williamson, who has placed sixty percent of approximately eight hundred graduated Tech- men in many vital defense jobs, as draftsmen, machinists, office Workers, and Welders. It must be remembered that this service is for the undergraduates also, many of whom obtain much needed part-time jobs, to help pay some of their expenses. In the placing of a boy his scholastic abilities, personal appearance- and many other minor but extremely important details are in- vestigated by his future employer. The placing of these boys in the industrial world helps to build up and maintain the splendid name of Tilden Tech. Bight: Mr. William- son, director of the placement office. Below: Here, serious faced lads fill out ap- plications for positions after graduation. Good luck, fellows.
