Tilden Technical High School - Craftsman Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

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.
