1 EVENTS AND HAPPENINGS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AT T I L D E N TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL CHICAGO, ILLINOIS A group of future Techmen look on as Charles Rosine chucks his lamp base preparatory to polishing. Robert Morrissey is using a wood bit in a power drill press, one of the basic machine tools. 4 i HIS YEAR marks the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Tilden as we know it today. In 1922 the building which had at one time housed Lake High was razed, and construction was begun on an addition to contain the offices, shops and many classrooms of the newly formed Tilden Technical High School. Let us review a little of the history of our school. Lake High was organized in 1881 as a part of Lake Township. In 1905, after the Township's annexation to Chicago, shops and drawing rooms were added and a technical course was introduced. At that time the school was coeducational, supplemented by gram- mar and apprentice schools. Later the grammar and apprentice schools were moved to other buildings. Ray Murtaugh demonstrates the technique of bandsawing. In 1915 the name was changed to Tilden High School in honor of Edward Tilden, former president of the Board of Education. Two years later it became Tilden Technical High School for Boys and in 1921 the last girls were graduated. Then came those fateful days. The architects' dreams began to materialize. From out of the ground rose the skeleton of a huge building later to mold the lives of thousands of young men. Work progressed rapidly with the skeleton soon taking on the shape of dozens of shops, laboratories, and classrooms. Every conceivable course necessary to a technical education was con- sidered, leaving no doubt as to the future leadership of Tilden. Through the years the wisdom of the project has been proven many times. The training received by the countless students has been an invaluable aid in the development of Chicago. Angelo Roccasalva pours molten iron A cast iron lamp base takes shape into the hand ladle of Sam Chiavola. under the watchful eyes of James Ala. Edward Brown is explaining a theorem in solid geometry to Edward Grala and Allen Frederick. Bromine is being prepared in one of Tilden's well equipped chemistry laboratories by Walter Ro- manowski, Norbert Martyn and Jack Vogel. 8 This maze of switches presents no problem to electric shop students, Sam Savage and Edward Kochen. However, progress did not stop with the original remodeling of 1922. Only recently a special building was constructed to house the flourishing aircraft engines shop. Modern gas forges have been installed in the forge shop and diesel engines in the auto shops. The Veterans' School has given hundreds of young men the opportunity to complete their high school education. Improvements are constantly being made and always will be made so that Tilden may remain forever, a School of Champions. Art students prepare posters to be dis- played in the corridors of Tilden. 10 Ted Gronkiewicz, Marvin Lezak and Donald Slaney study the principles and effects of a Tesla coil. ★ ★ ★ Using modern scientific equipment, John Kutcosky, Robert Bokowski and Ronald Witt perform an experiment on convection currents. 11 Mr. Lakemacher, on one of his many tours of the school, stops to inspect the work of Edward Margherone and Donald Stosur. Cj ree tincas Cjentie emen The other evening a friend of mine was relating some of his experiences on an auto trip. While driving to a remote spot in a mountainous region, he had to ascend a steep grade on a very narrow, rough road. As they approached the brow of a hill, another car traveling at a high rate of speed suddenly came over the top of the grade. This car bore down upon them and an accident seemed inevitable. Fortunately my friend was able to swerve so that the impending collision was avoided. My friend's family were so upset that they had to pause and rest. That is, all but the little daughter were frightened. Why weren't you fright- ened? the little girl was asked. Oh, we had bumpers on our car, she replied, we were protected. Gentlemen, as you leave here and travel life's road, you too will at time travel through rough country. Progress will not always be easy. Time after time you will be in a position where catastrophe will seem inevi- table. But have no fear. You, too, are equipped with a bumper, a fine bumper —one you have been acquiring here at Tilden for the past four years. The training you have received at Tilden in the classrooms, shops, and laboratories, your participation in athletics and your good sportsmanship are the best bumpers that anyone can have for a trip along life's road. We, the faculty, are proud to graduate you. We know that you will be equal to all the situations that you will meet upon life's road, and that success will be yours. Sincerely, 13 MR. BURTON DUFFIE is fant f- rincipa ( Presenting our Assistant Principal, Mr. Burton Duffie, a genial efficient gentleman with a friendly and cap- able manner. He holds an important position in Tilden's office typified by endless tasks in our behalf. With thoughtful guidance and pleasant manners, he lightens the students' burdens and with sympathetic un- derstanding inspires a determination for accomplishment. MR. COLIN CAMPBELL s ssistant f rincipal Mr. Colin Campbell, former shop director, is our new Assistant Princi- pal. Mr. Campbell came to Tilden in 1928 and was given the position of woodshop teacher. Due to his abil- ity he recently became temporary shop director and as such performed his tasks with thoroughness and un- derstanding of the needs of Tilden students. Besides other duties his attention is directed toward the suc- cessful operation of Tilden's Veteran School. 14 MR. LESLIE SCHAEFFER With Mr. Leslie Schaeffer, Tilden's able shop director, rests the responsi- bility of obtaining the equipment and supplies necessary for maintaining the efficiency of Tilden's numerous shops. Besides ordering the school's essentials, Mr. Schaeffer counsels with students to help them select the proper shop sequence so that they might graduate from Tilden with a well balanced technical education. rarij Tilden's spacious and cheerful library is one of the vital necessities in the education of all Techmen. An outstanding feature of the library is its varied collection of technical books. It boasts of having a well organized magazine section and the most complete collection of history books of any library in the Chicago Public Schools. Fiction and non-fiction books which many students read for entertainment can be found here. But it takes more than books to make a library complete. Many efficient librarians under the supervision of Mrs. Thelma Williams are al- ways on duty helping Techmen in their selec- tion of reading matter. Miss Donohue and Miss Payne help Techmen select interesting and worthwhile books. Mr. West interviews a student preparatory to placing him in a suitable job.

An old system of machine drawing could never satisfy the present needs of industry. For this reason a new carefully prepared program is being developed by a group of Chicago high school teachers. The now curriculum will stress those points now most essen- tial to machine design plus the subjects now being taught. Instructors who tested the program on experimental classes report remarkable success. Students find the course not only more profitable but also more interesting. Tildenites will in- deed welcome the adoption of this new plan. Student In Mi.

A group of students hard at work on advertising layouts. A new class of students look on interestedly as Mr. How- ler. director of advertising art, demonstrates some new tricks in layout constructions. One of the outstanding and interesting subjects taught at Tilden is Advertising Art. Under the capable supervision of Miss Marie Bohman, students learn the skills and techniques needed in the professional field. All types of lettering used in layout composi- tion and pen and ink renderings, as well as pencil work, wash techniques and color composition are included in the course. As each student progresses, he specializes in the field in which he is interested. The individual instruction leaves him in a posi- tion to handle all types of problems that he may encounter in commercial art. 22 Mrs. Garas. Miss Woessner, Miss Siss- man. Miss Caprez.

A typical scene in Tilden's large gym. The exercise in progress is particularly helpful in developing the arms and shoulders. Mr. Hartman's freshman class in their uniform gym clothes make a harmonious sight. The war has caused Americans to become conscious of the need for young men to develop strong bodies and muscular coordination. To this end, running and calisthenics are stressed in gym classes which meet three times a week. Swimming classes range from those who are just learning to swim, to the life saving group which supplies pool guards for the beginners' classes. Once each week at a health class, the young men learn facts important to good health. All in all the program is designed to get and keep the students in top physical condition. 29 Miss Seitz, German; Mr. Coble, German; Mrs. Friedman. Span- ish; Miss Bond. Spanish.

Scientific discoveries are rapidly opening the door to nature's age old secrets. One of the most recent and important accom- plishments was the splitting of the atom with its accompanying release of energy. The destructive possibilities of atomic energy have already been demonstrated but its immense peacetime ap- plications have yet to be developed. Whether or not they are, depends upon the scientists of today and tomorrow. In the labora- tories of Tilden, boys can obtain a complete grounding in Science, from the fundamentals of General Science on up through Biology, Physics and Chemistry. It is laboratories like these that will sup- ply the future scientists of the world. _ 31 e. aenee Dr. Humiston, Miss Dreessen, Mr. Kunka, Mrs. Cardinal and Mr. Rudner examine some equipment used in demonstrating mechani- cal advantage. Miss Nelson, Miss Francis, Miss Beddow and Miss Swenson, bi- ology teachers, admire a gerani- um plant. Messrs. Stone, Steuber, Mohler, Hotchkin and Gamertsfelder. of the physics department, perform an experiment to determine the resistance of an electric lamp. 32 The regular meeting of the student council is about to be called to order by president Tom DeLaPaz. The other of- ficers are: Ray Foy, vice-pres.; Sam Costan- za, treas.; and Wiliam Murawski, secretary. 33 EXECUTIVE STUDENT COUNCIL First Row: Ashmore, Cowan, Murtaugh, Westrom, Troemel, Foy, Murawski, DeLaPaz, Costanza.

One of the most democratic organizations at Tilden is the Student Council sponsored by Mrs. Stacia Fischer. Each Wednesday the Council, composed of representa- tives from each division, meets to discuss problems of concern to the students. When an important question arises a vote is taken and if deemed necessary a plan of action is suggested to Mr. Lakemacher. In this way the organization has a two fold purpose: it is the voice of the student body and at the same time a means of training Techmen in governmental procedure. Through the Council's efforts, a handbook was published containing a wealth of information about the courses and extra curricular activities at Tilden. At Christmas time it typifies the spirit of the entire school with gifts of candy and a huge Christmas tree to the dis- abled children in the neighboring hospitals. Last semester the inauguration of the Principal's and Sponsor's lists was added to the organization's accomplishments. These lists contain the names of the boys making all excellent or superior grades, and are a definite spur to better scholarship. IUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES First Row: Grosko, Folz, Frederick.

Its four hundred members meet every third Wednesday of each month and by discussion and action provide adequate laws for the high moral and mental standards of the school. The P.T.A. strives continually to create an atmosphere of friendliness and cooperation. Ties between the home and school are greatly strength- ened by the Annual Hobby Show. During the past year the P.T.A. bought instruments for the mathematics de- partment and sponsored a dinner for the outstanding R.O.T.C. officers. The faculty and students are indeed grateful for the un- tiring services rendered by the P.T.A. and earnestly hope that as Tilden's reputation and standards live on through the years, this group will be remembered for all the things it has done to make Tilden a better school. 39 Schurz, Tilden prep track cr S hurt' Bulldog retain cor track title and Tilden 'I Mderday at I of Chicago filoen, harper Tangle in Sta$ Opener Mom Winner -o M fffJUK iArr.i i STRESSED AT TILDEN HIE yesStfot 6'4 MJ$ Tilden, Lindblom Victors Og on 52 In Central Loot) Pla «Unc ' Si i A“ - W. vv CM 1 o va %: . n s- First Row—Seated: Watters.

Armed with paste, thumbtacks and scissors, a member of this organization can frequently be seen scurrying about the halls gathering informa- tion and pictures to present to the student body. With Miss Simcox as sponsor and William Brenner as chairman, the club is rendering the school a fine service. Clippings from every paper are obtained by the bureau and posted on the bulletin board just outside of 124. The items vary in kind, from events in the field of sports, to quaint quips about former Tildenites scattered over the world. In short, if it is in the paper, and it concerns Tilden, it is sure to be seen on the bureau's bulletin board. An organization such as this is worthy of recognition by the students, and definitely deserves a place among the out- standing groups of boys in the school: Tilden Whips Victors TILDEN JUNIUS, LINDBLOM HIG CTAY UNBEATE ley Scores Tnird • ’it. 46-23 M-dO title Ocy T},' OrjT I.

KENT Each year enthusiastic and school spirited Techmen work to- gether to produce Tilden's high ranking yearbook. The Craftsman. It is the sincere hope of the staff that through this annual they may bring to you some idea of the educational, physical, and social life of Tilden. In order to compile a well balanced and interesting book a vast amount of work is required. Therefore, the staff is divided into several departments, each with a definite task. The divisions are: editorial, art, copy, photography, and the all-important business staff. Although the Craftsman is a student project, two faculty advisers contribute their time to checking write-ups and business details. Without their help and untiring patience the Craftsman could not hope to accomplish its purpose. ADVISERS MISS GALLAGHER ......MR. STONE MR. ISBANER........MR. MOHLER MR.

The Tilden Tech Times is published by the students, assisted and guided by a group of faculty members. Journal- ism is a prerequisite for reporters. Each page of the paper goes through a definite rou- tine. A page make-up sheet is made by the page editor and on it all assignments, cuts and advertise- ments are recorded. Before any story is written the page is arranged in order to have the best appear- ance and balance of type. All stories are written two weeks in advance ex- cepting sport coverage. Sport stories have a place saved in the page make-up sheet so they can be up- to-date. Students strive constantly to keep the news flowing freely. 42 OPERATORS • CHECKERS • LETTERMEN • KNIGHTS OF TECHNOLOGY w o HH w cn First Row: Nixon. P. Bower, Weidlich, S. Bower, Morgan. Rosenheim.

Gen- iuses may join the German Club, Pan- American Club or the Biology Club, or may be admitted to the Honor Club with an E average. Those who are inter- ested in vocational work may join the Photography Club, Operators' Club, or Service Club. The boys who join these clubs will find many interesting things to deal with and will be rewarded with further knowledge of the subject plus a letter or shield. 44 First Row: Ortiz. Grganto. Ulaskas.

Office guards under Miss Doyle's capable super- vision deliver special bulletins, operate the mimeo- graph, and file the mail, while the adjustment guards, serving under Mrs. Hilton, file the I.Q.'s and all major test scores of Techmen. Mrs. Williams is in charge of the library guards who serve by re- pairing books and shelving and cataloguing the ever growing assortment of books and magazines. The Lunch room guards under Mrs. Witt's guidance and the hall guards, who are supervised by Mr. Schaef- fer are two other important groups.

Radio holds great interest and promise for Carl Durham, one of Mr. Rennie's radio students. 50 Tilden is a school of champions, consequently it has produced several excel- lent choral groups. But never has there been a chorus more worthy of praise than the present one!

In this competition Tilden usually comes out on top. Some ninety Tildenites who comprise the choral club strive continually to give their audiences a truer conception of what American youth can do with the great music of past and present. Commendation belongs particularly to its directors. Miss Margaret Mullen and Mr. Carl Linner who are without a doubt its most vital components. Chorus may be taken as a non-credit subject, giving hours towards a music letter, or as a regular minor subject. 51 That resounding crescendo you hear ringing through the halls is due to the talented efforts of Tilden's sixty piece band led by Mr. Glen J. Ford. Under Mr. Ford's careful supervision new band members learn to read music and become acquainted with their instruments. They then may join the junior band where they spend one or two semesters studying the finer points of playing. After this apprenticeship is over they be- come proud members of the senior band. Aside from its educational value the band performs at foot- ball games and assemblies, never failing to bring forth praise from the crowd on its grand marching and beautiful renditions. Last fall the Tilden band received an E rating in the annual competition of high school bands. First Row: P. Fuller. Rauhut, Muldrow. Zielinski. Loughney, Straka.

An important member of Tilden's music department is the orchestra. This organization is dedicated to fostering an appreciation for and an interest in fine music. The orchestra plays at P.T.A. meetings and some of Til- den's assemblies. Music is composed mostly of waltzes and marches. One of the outstanding violin soloists who deserves much praise is concert master, Lorenzo Dillard. Dillard plays violin solos at assemblies and many P.T.A. meetings. The orchestra as a whole also deserves much credit for its fine part in developing Tilden's music de- Orchestra 53 partment. REGIMENTAL COLOR GUARD Sgt. Harold McLaurine, Sgt. Hillard Chamerlik, Sgt.

For a quarter of a century the champion corps has been high ranking in all city wide competitive events. It has taken first place honors in seven out of the past eleven annual picked platoon competitions. The many achieve- ments are symbolic of the training that the members re- ceive. Where leadership, citizenship and neatness are necessary the R.O.T.C. takes the active part and carries on. 54 OFFICERS COLOR GUARD Major George Cowan, Captain Bernard Ekstrom, Lieutenant Colonel John Sar- no, Captain Joseph Viliunas, Captain Luther Brown.

When Room 317 had been trans- formed into an attractive study- room with tables and chairs, lounges and floor lamps, Tilden Veterans' School opened its doors, on April 15, 1946, to one hundred thirty students. Under its genial director, Mr. George Post, it has steadily maintained capacity en- rollment. In September, Mr. Charles Drummond was placed in charge of the new Tilden Veter- ans' School Branch at the Chicago Vocational School, where there are three hundred students. Veterans receive individual in- struction in all high school sub- jects and progress at their own rate, completing each unit with a standardized examination admin- istered by an examiner from the city junior colleges. Some students desire only high school diplomas, while others are preparing for col- lege. An atmosphere of informality and friendliness makes the Tilden Veterans' School a pleasant work- ing place for teachers as well as students. 72 From the standpoint of games won and lost, the 1946 football season was not very success- ful. However, with many experienced players returning. Coach Harvey is hopeful of a great season this Fall. Starring at the left halfback position and sparking the team, was versatile ir Bonic an excellent passer, runner, afid kicker. Alter- nating at right half were Jim Pamel and Dick Kukulka, both speedy men. Jack Cassin took good care of the quarterback spot while hard charging Don Kachinskps played fullback. Bob Blaskovitz and Ray Ronianek, a couple of driv- ing players rotated at various backfield posi- tions. Captain Chuck Feigl, leltSacld jLnspir a the line with his brilliant play, taking part in almost every tackle. Pairing off with him was speedy Tom Battle, right tackle, with Ray Gal- vin and John Danko plugging up the holes at guard. Center Robert O'Connell and ends Bob Campbell, Don Gentile and Russ Specha com- pleted the first string. First Row: Kachinskas, Blaskovitz, DeLaPaz, Demko, Fernandez. Conte. Guthrie.

The Bluedevils opened the season early with prac- tice games at Waukegan, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa but lost to powerful teams 17 to 6 and 34 to 9 respectively. In the first league game of the season, Tilden was on the Dunbar seven yard line when the gun went off leaving the score 12 to 7 in favor of Dunbar. Phillips also turned the tables, defeating the Bluedevils 19 to 0, the same score by which Phil- lips lost in 1945. An inspired Tech eleven met Gage Park but was outpointed by the Owls for the first time in history 32 to 25. The following Saturday Dick Bonko led the Bluedevils to a 26 to 7 rout of Kelly for the first victory of the season. After losing to DuSable 7 to 6 Tilden recovered and shut out Engle- wood 15 to 0 in the season finale. A post season game with Calumet turned out to be a heartbreaker with the Bluedevils losing 23 to 21. Highlight of the game was a sensational play which climaxed with Captain Chuck Feigl receiving a lateral on the thirty yard line and running for a touchdown.

Cerceo, Klobuchar, and Coleman proved to be promising back- field men. They are elusive, shifty and have plenty of speed. Among the linemen, Lucas, a guard, could be placed in any position in the line and do a good job. Kanvert, a dependable center, Kunce and Espiritu, two reliable ends, will soon add to the power of the varsity team. Coach Pesavento hopes to send out a powerful team to capture the sophomore champion- ship next season. Members of the soph team work out on the practice field developing skill in passing, running and blocking. 78 eer Proudly displaying their new gold and blue jackets, the cheer squad is a vital asset to the success of Tilden teams. A new squad is called out each February and trained from February to June. They are back in Septem- ber for the football season and practice their yell routine for one hour every day. This year under the leadership of Captain Hugh Collins and the sponsorship of Mr. Charles Apking, the squad specialized in tumbling and as a result has acquired a skillful technique. The boys buy their own uniforms but are supplied by the school with sweaters and megaphones. + cj ncicl 79 Of the many sports Tilden has to offer to its students, perhaps one of the most popular is wrestling. In this sport Tilden ranks with the best, having taken city and state championships in 1945 and placing many grapplers on top with individual honors. This year Coach Robert Hicks again produced a championship team. His task was not an easy one because many of last year's spark plugs had graduated, leaving gaps in the lineups. Captain Sam Costanza, together with Mr. Hicks, began work in Deceipber and climaxed the season in March. The matmen successfully upheld their wrestling tradi- tion by again capturing the city title. Eight men went downstate to defend the team's state title, but the struggle was terrific and the bonecrushers could only gain a third place. First Row: Campin, Klonowski, Trecek, Ortiz, Hash, W.

From December to June, the halls of Tilden are the scenes of much activity. That is the time when the track team is in full swing under the capable leadership of Mr. Charles Harvey. The track season is divided into two units, indoor and outdoor. From December to March the pound- ing feet of the speed demons can be heard in the corridors. From March to June the tracksters may be seen practicing in nearby parks. Track offers openings to fellows with a wide range of skills. If it is your am- bition to beat Mercury, you would be best fitted for the dashes — the sixty yard and one hundred yard respectively. Fellows who possess perpetual endurance do well in the mile run, eight eighty yard run, six sixty and four forty dashes. For those not interested in running, the field events offer openings. The high jump and broad jump, shot putt, and pole vault are but a few. The junior squad finished the indoor season by taking the junior indoor track title in the University of Chicago field- house. Not to be outdone, the seniors fought their way through stiff compe- tition to take sixth place in the city finals. 81 First Row: Broda, Gur gone. N. Kladis, Bedalow P. Kladis.

The team was victorious in the Stagg Tournament taking first place among thirty-two Chicago high school teams. The Techmen also came through the central section with flying colors, taking first place and losing only one game despite the midseason loss of Kladis and Gurgone. In the first of the play-off games, Tilden registered a 40 to 35 82 victory over Steinmetz. Then came trouble; Lindblom, whom the Hoopers had beaten previously in a section game, defeated Tilden 29 to 25 in a hard fought, low scoring game.

With- out losing a game they coasted to the central section championship. By routing Dunbar with an overwhelming score of 84 to 24 at Dunbar the Juniors captured the city league central section title. The Ponies led 23 to 3 at the quarter and 40 to 10 at the half, with the second half pretty much the same. Captain John Lyman won the scoring honors with 22 points. Leading the team to the central section title were John Lyman, Walter Piekarski, Russell Granato, William Koch and Bill Bussa under the supervision of Coach Bill Postl. Bill Evans, George Macuga, John Wanda, John Macuga, and Edward McDermott came to their rescue in time of need. 84 JUNIOR SCOREBOARD Wally Piekarski Guard LEAGUE GAMES Tilden 72 .................DuSable 42 Tilden 75 ................Phillips 39 Tilden 30.................Lindblom 28 Tilden 53 ................Harrison 51 Tilden 44 ...............Gage Park 36 Tilden 52 ...................Kelly 26 Tilden 84 ..................Dunbar 23 Tilden 57 ................Farragut 39 PLAY OFF Tilden 48....................Waller 36 QUARTER FINAL Tilden 42......................Lane 37 85 First Row: Bar tus.

Each year when the air becomes a little warmer and the sun starts to beam strongly, a group of energetic fellows takes out its gear in preparation for a long and pleasant season of golf. This year the Tech golf team boasts of thirteen members with four of them of first string caliber. Captain Frank Scichowski and Coach Ray 86 Pesavento have high hopes for a very successful season. Qce Shat in 9 Under the spirited coaching of Mr. Ray Pesavento, the skating team is beginning to develop into a balanced organization. The next seasons may bring success if a few more recruits turn out for the sport. With ice skating gaining in popularity this seems more than likely.

Cross-Countr ¥ Cross-Country, now in its fourth year at Tilden is one of the main fall sports. For this sport, a fellow needs a lot of endurance, a lot of spirit and he must be able to run two or three miles at a time. Last season the team was sparked by co-captains Ray Kober and Don Linden. There were also many returning lettermen from the 45 squad such as Earl Lee, Ric Czerniak and Ronald Mertz. Although the team had these returning men they still failed to take first place in the finals, but took a neat fifth place. Victorious at every one of its meets, the Cross-Country team trounced Englewood, DuSable, South Shore and many other teams. The fall of 47 brings the Cross-Country team new hopes for a city championship with Ronald Mertz and Ric Czerniak as co- captains. 88 LEAGUE GAMES Tilden 5...............Phillips 3 Tilden 3..................Kelly 10 Tilden 15 .......Englewood 0 Tilden 11 .......Gage Park 4 Schedule Incomplete Coach Bill Postl demonstrates the finer points of bunting to Bob Dolemba, Mike Cardilli, Ed Pikulski and Bill Udovich. Timely hitting, tight fielding, and good pitching, along with team work are the essentials of any successful baseball team. The Tech Diamond- eers possess these qualities and with the experienced help of Coach William Postl will undoubtedly be strong title contenders this year. As the Craftsman goes to press the Diamondeers occupy second place in the central section having won three games while dropping one. The high batting average of its members is a large factor of the team's suc- cess. Six players are hitting .300 or better the top one being John Gabriel, the talented captain of the nine, with a .556 average, which at the present time is the best in the city. Giving him valuable assistance are Joe Hor- bacz, first baseman batting .426, Tony Conte, shortstop with a neat .500 average, and the top pitching of Bob Dolemba and James Pecenka.

Wangrin, Wolff. Soccer Speed and endurance combined with quick thinking are the main requisites of Soccer, a sport which has been steadily gain- ing in popularity. The Tech. Ironheads, coached by Thomas Blackshaw used these qualities well to complete a most profit- able season. Led by their capable captain, Frank Putz, the team had a record of seven victories and four defeats. Their record was made impressive by wins over such teams as Oak Park, Lane and Kelly through which they advanced to the city finals. Coach Blackshaw with his eye on the future, will miss such play- ers as Bud Joyce, Larry Ferguson, Laddie Lankas, Pie Trainor and Waldo Wangrin. However, he will still have Louie Bartolini with his educated left foot, to help carry out his plans. 90 Although Tilden has many top teams, the swimming team is doubtless one of the best. Both the Senior Seals and Junior Minnows , under the expert guidance of Coach Frank Warga are well on their way to another champion- ship. The Juniors have now won 81 consecutive dual meets over a period of three years. The Seniors also boast a fine record, having dropped only two meets, losing to Harrison twice while defeating them two times to even the score. Both teams are well balanced units composed of experienced swimmers, the Seniors being captained by William Murawski, while the Junior squad is led by Sam Lombardo. Spark plugs of this year's Senior team are Kowalis, Sloger, Nyland, Dapser, Hanson and Cuthbertson. 3 wimmincf Gollrad. Shimkus, Murawski. Stat- kus. Martin. First Row: Hunter. D. Hynes.

Now that the event draws near, a touch of sadness enters our hearts. Just when we have come to really enjoy our school life we must leave and face a bewildering world. Pleasant memories of the school socials. Achievement Dinners, Team Competitions, and our many close friendships flash before us as we begin to think of the future. What does it hold for us? We are entering the most crucial period of our lives. Should we go on to college, join the service, or go out into industry? The decision is not easy, but we may make it with confidence, for the teachers at Tilden have adequately prepared us for anything the future may bring, and to them we are deeply grateful.
