Price, through competent direction of Tilden has added greatly to our prestige as one of the finest technical schools in the country.

Three efficient officers are second-in-command under Mr. Price. Assistant Commander Smyth advises both parents and students on problems concerning school life, and diligent Chief Recording Offi- cer Witt looks after the school records and finances in masterly fashion.

'ki'ir'kir'k'k'k'ki'1l'ir1k1lr WE ARE ALL IN IT NOW We are living in a state of abnormalcy: our homes, our school, our work, and even our lives have been changed. With our every productive and industrial effort bent toward victory it is small wonder that our educational efforts be bent in that direc- tion also. We at Tilden are striving hard to prepare ourselves for the job at hand. We study and drill to equip ourselves for the battlefield, or the home front. We work hard and our day is filled to overflowing. The technical departments of our school are working at full capacity training fellows in the shops and sciences, which are use- ful to our armed forces, or for jobs in war plants. Through the medium of art, music, English literature, social studies, and the lan- guages we learn citizenship and build morale, both vitally essential in the life of every American interested in the welfare of our nation. Some time, too, is devoted to our physical training and an extended program of gymnastic training has been introduced. Athletically our school is the finest in the city, having this year taken several major championships. The Tilden R.O.T.C., last year and for several years previous adjudged the finest in the sixth corp area, is this year well on its way to another championship. We have had to work hard, we have served the school, and in return our school has awarded us with honor, service, and athletic letters, membership in the Honor Club and our annual Achievement Dinner. Our day is not devoted entirely to work, we also participate in the little human events that mean so much in the school life of every student. Combined with our studies these events have made up an un11S11CI1 school YGCII' And if is The PUTPOSG of this book to give you q qlimpse of our school life and at the same time preserve for posterity the record of this year at Tildenf A l9l
