MATH ASSEMBLY Collaborating with the choral clubs, the Service Club again put on the Math Assembly, by which mathematics was demonstrated as fundamental to many of the subjects taught in a technical high school and to the problems of life itself. In this assembly was an application to Ameri- can problems by an explanation by a father, Lefty Carins, to his son, Ioe DeCiro, explaining an income tax report. It was shown that math was needed in airplane designing and operating. Mathematics needed in navigating was explained by the use of a sextant, which is studied in some geometry classes. An astrologer, Walter Smolka, lightened the program by quoting from a text as he explored the theory of the universe according to the number four. The usage of math in science was illustrated by an application to medicine, chemistry, and physics. V

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.

THE WOOD SHOPS This year the wood shops have deviated slight- ly from their usual course cmd are pursuing one Mr. Schaeffer advises a beginner in wood turning. more immediately vital to the preservation of our nation. Our four wood shops,--the wood, pattern, model, and wood turning-are making airplane models-models which will be sent to our air corp training depots to aid in the task of instruct- ing fledgling pilots. The models are to be of planes of every nation and will help our aspirant pilots to learn to identify enemy aircraft. Tilden's quota of five hundred model airplanes is almost complete and the Wood shops will run once more on their regular schedule. Boys who desire advanced training in wood shop may choose as one of the shops in their shop sequence, model building. Here the boys con- struct boat models. Battle ship, destroyers, yachts and sailing ships are among those built by the students. The energy and labor involved in the construction of these models is well worth the while, for they show amazingly intricate and ex- act detail. The student has every reason to be proud of his work.
