OUR LEADERS Angus, Department of Interior: William Kneen Department of Safety: Robert Knapp, Department of Socialization: and Cadet Captain Walter Smolka, Department of R. O. T. C. These boys have done a wonderful job in getting their depart- ments organized and working smoothly. During its first year the Council has completed the work of organization and has accomplished many things. The high lights of these are: the get- ting of soap in the many shops of Tilden: a fresh- man assembly to acquaint the new students with Tilden: a new locker arrangement and air raid procedure: a Victory Book Campaign, in which Tilden did more than its share in supplying the armed forces with books: a part in putting over the annual Tilden Circus: and clean-up and safety campaigns. All in all, the Student Council has done much to improve the school and, at the same time, to enable the student body to have a bigger voice in the school affairs. which after all are their affairs. Of course such an undertaking has succeeded only with the full, wholehearted co-operation of the entire student body and faculty. With good judgement and capable leaders the sudents have accomplished a great deal and in turn have gain- ed many privileges for themselves. Most import- ant, this training has helped them to bceome stalwart citizens of the U. S. A.! E OFFICERS Ieffery Barnes, Vice-Pres: Robert Scharding, Sec: Iames McBride, Pres: Art Williams. Treas.

The members of the Student Council in turn report to their divisions so that every Tildenite is informed of the work of the Council. Also meeting with the Executive Council are the five members of the president's cabinet. These five boys are charged with co-ordinating all the school activities under the one head, the Student Council.

Those Tildenites who are members of this club serve the school as members of teams, of musical organizations, and as speakers, dan- cers, and in many other capacities about the school. Mrs. Lutz, the present faculty sponsor of this club, first conceived the idea and originated the club five years ago. During the years in which this club has been in existence it has helped in many projects, among which are the well known Assembly Hall show for the Tilden Circus and the Math Assem- bly which is put on to demonstrate the necessity of mathematics in everyday life. Recently the Dramatic Club, a new branch, has been added to the Service Club. From all the talent that have joined this new club it is easy to see that beyond a doubt this club will become one of the most prominent clubs in the school.
