Under his arm he carries a drawing board, or a big lunch bag, perhaps his shop apron, his bath towel, or, if a senior, civics and chem notebooks. Joe is busy every minute of the day, he is active, he is interested in everything that goes on at Tilden. Is there an assembly today? Tilden will win that game Saturday! Who said we would have a test in physics? Student Council meeting fourth period. Jane said she would be there for our wrestling matches. This is our Joe. Why is he here at Tilden? He chose his school. He wants an education which will prepare him for college or for business or a specialized technical field. He wants to be with boys like himself; girls are part of his after-school or week-end life. He wants to attend the school from which his father or uncle or brother or cousin was graduated. He wants to be part of the tradition of manliness, champion- ship teams, college attendance, excellence in technical production for which Tilden is known. We present our Joe to you as the spotlight is focused on him throughout the year. He strives for higher goals, wins honors in athletic achievement and obtains scholas- tic awards. In changing from freshman to senior he serves in a number of activities: as guard, club member, Student Council representative, team participant; he works for Tech Times or Craftsman, plays in Band, sings in Chorus, marches in R.O.T.C., and wins a letter. Within four short years he steps into the spotlight many times and then leaves Tilden to go on to larger fields where we watch for him to appear once more, our Joe, in the spotlight. 6 Dxiallo and Botwinski linish a piece of stock on a shaper in Machine Shop.

CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION P a g e 9 FACULTY Page 15 ORGANIZATIONS Page 21 DIVISIONS Page 47 SENIORS Page 65 SPORTS Page 79 One of the principal aims of your high school is to build a good foundation for your continued growth and development. However, the foundation itself is of limited value, unless you have also ac- quired the means and the desire to continue this growth. Whether or not you pursue your education in col- lege or in your job and home, you will have to select the desirable experiences from the undesirable if you wish to grow rather than stand still or deteri- orate. The education of a man is not determined by the number of years he has spent in school but by his ability to think and to make selective judg- ments. He grows just as long as most of his selected experiences are good and his bad judgments are not too many or too important for his physical, moral and mental development. Our hope for all Joe Tildens is that they will con- tinue to build upon their fine technical foundation and to evolve a fuller, richer and happier life. PRINCIPAL MR. COLIN CAMPBELL Sisistant Principal Mr. Campbell has been Tilden's Assistant Principal for over five years. Prior to the time of his becoming Assistant Principal, he was a teacher at Tilden for seventeen years. He taught advanced wood work and model building. Mr. Campbell's duties consist of preparing the school's daily bulletin, maintaining a regular office routine of work, and taking care of discipline problems. In the latter duty, he tries to bring about and retain an understanding and happy relation- ship between the students, parents, and teachers. MR. ALFRED STEUBER Sliiiitant principal Mr. Steuber came to Tilden in 1931. Three years ago he became an Assistant Principal. Until that time he taught drafting, general science, chemistry, algebra and physics. He is in charge of making the organizational report on the school, time schedules and program- ming of all students. Mr. Steuber assigns freshmen the programs that will best suit them. He helps boys straighten out any difficulties they may encounter while programming their classes. He also sees to it that students take the proper sequence of subjects required for grad- uation. MR. LESLIE S Slop M, iperin CHAEFFER ten Jan t From the time of his arrival at Tilden in 1922, until he became Shop Superintendent in 1946, Mr. Schaeffer taught wood-turning and draft- ing. Since then he has taken care of all the needs of the shops and drafting departments. He sees to it that all shops at Tilden have the necessary equipment and supplies needed to maintain a peak in efficiency. Mr. Schaeffer also co-operates with the maintenance staff on repairs of the school. He is the visual aid and general safety co-or- dinator and aids all students in their selections of shop sequences in order to enable them to graduate with a well-balanced technical edu- cation. 10 DEPARTMENT CHAIRMEN Seated: Miss Seitz.

Vet e rand The Veterans' Center at Tilden, under the supervision of Mr. Post, is a pleasant room with a home-like atmosphere where the veterans of World War II study together to gain the educa- tion which was interrupted when they were fighting to protect our country. In April, 1946, there were sixty-five students in our Veterans' School; this number grew until in June, 1947, there were four hundred and twenty veterans enrolled. After this date the number gradually decreased until at the present time there are again sixty-five veterans enrolled. The veterans are required to put in a regular school day of five and one-half hours, five days a week. All of the high school academic subjects are taught here. The veteran takes a course, and as soon as he and his instructor consider him ready, he is tested by the Veterans' Testing Service of the Chicago City Junior College. In this way the veteran may earn credits as quickly as his abilities permit. A veteran may receive one of two diplomas upon comple- tion of the requirements. The GED diploma is given to those who pass the GED examination; the standard high school diploma is awarded to those veterans who take the full high school course and earn the required number of credits. Veterans complete high school work here and are given individual help in an accelerated program. Mr. Post is Counselor ol the Veteran's Center. Miss Mooney, his secretary, keeps records and pro- cesses all Veterans' Administration forms. 14 15 SOCIAL STUDIES Seated: Miss Connolly. Miss Plaehn. Miss Foqarty. Mr. Murray, Miss Keeler.

(Lotinci The Student Council is an organization which works for the improvement of the school and pupils. Its main purpose is to make Tilden a better place in which to work, study and accomplish the goal toward which the individual pupil is aiming. This organization has a meeting one day each week at which a representative from each division is present to discuss the problems of everyday life at Tilden. Members of the Student Council concern them- selves with such projects as the trimming and donat- ing of our school Christmas tree to some children's institution and also the planning and carrying out of the school Honor assemblies, composing and dis- tributing the Tech Pilot to all freshmen and fire drill codes to all rooms. These and many other projects like them keep the Student Council members busy throughout the school year. Each year new officers are elected, and by doing so, every boy feels that he has a voice in all of the affairs of Tilden. He elects someone to represent him, voice his opinion, and make improvements in school affairs. Democracy needs this kind of action to allow everyone a chance to express his views. The pupil must select someone who will do his best to fulfill the responsibility of the position. STUDENT COUNCIL SENIOR AND IUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES Sfonding: Cooper. First Row: Kudla. Stalzer. Schuh.

STUDENT COUNCIL 23 KW JJonor A fine organization to which a Joe may gain admittance is the Tilden Tech Honor Club. To become a member a student must pass all his subjects with a grade of Excellent or better at the final marking period. If a student makes the Honor Roll two semesters he is entitled to wear an Honor Club shield or pin. The pin is the Tilden gold T to which a bar may be added for every semester of membership. The highest award which a member may win is a Tilden Tech double T letter which represents membership for four semesters. This letter is awarded at an assembly presented by the Student Council, at which time Tech men who are eligible for membership are also presented with a cer- tificate. All students who have received no grade lower than Superior in all subjects are put on the Principal's List. Others receiving Excellent or better are put on the Sponsor's List. After being in the club for five semesters or more a Tildenite may seek membership in the National Honor Society which is the highest achievement a Tilden Tech Joe can earn. JUNIORS.

English students who wish to become reporters enroll for a course in composition aimed towards Journalism. If their news items are accurate and readable, they may become staff members and ex- pect to be page editors. This means they will lay out work on a make-up sheet, give assignments and assemble the final copy to be sent to the linotype shop. Print shop is responsible for three linotype ma- chines for the news columns, as well as hand-set type for headlines and the actual printing presses. After they have set up the final copy, it is returned to the page editors and re-distributed to the staff to be proof-read, checked and corrected. Boys who meet the requirements are awarded gold pins and win membership in Quill and ■Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. This organization has rated the Tech Times Superior for three years and last year Times was voted the Gallup Award which is given only to papers at the top of the superior list. The National Scholastic Press Association also bestowed a superior rating on the Tech Times last year. There- fore, when Tildenites read Tech Times they are not just reading an ordinary school newspaper, they are reading the best. TIMES PRINT STAFF First Row: Stroz. Orozco. Smith. Mr. Broderick.

A list of names of candidates is presented to the faculty each semester for their approval before students are admitted to the Society. The high ideals of the National Honor Society are symbolized in the pin by the flaming torch and the letters S.L.C.S. which stand for the four cardinal objective: Scholarship, Character, Leadership and Service—the goal toward which all high school students should strive. The eyes of all lower classmen are turned toward the program of initiation. In an impressive candle- light ceremony students solemnly pledge their loyalty to the principles of the Society. Since these demands are high, members are considered the elite of the student body and the leading citizens of tomorrow. In fact, membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor conferred on a student by the school. The National Honor Society serves the school by helping to compute scholastic averages for the senior class. It also deals with scholarships for out- standing members who are selected to take com- petitive exams. The total membership of 4A students admitted in one semester is fifteen per cent; ten per cent of the 4B’s are eligible and 5 per cent of the 3A class may be elected. The National Honor Society is sponsored by the Department of Secondary School Principals cf the National Education Association. First Row: Cooper Pres.. Miss Lawler. Shisler. Zych.

All Tildenites who find pleasure in brisk mental exercise and inter-school competition belong to the Math or Chess and Checker Clubs. The Math Club members puzzle over tough problems to get into shape for the annual Wilson Junior College contest. Meanwhile some deep games are played to secure positions on the Chess and Checker Team which enters league play. Scientific and technical Clubs like the Chemistry, Biology and Camera Clubs invite Techmen to join. These organizations further knowledge in the large field of science. Students who render services in assemblies be- long to the Stage Crew. Boys interested in the elec- trical field are members of the Operators' Club and show films to various classes. Another group computes and keeps scholarship records of the senior classes so as to ascertain rank and scholastic standing. Second Row: Ljubicich. Kohut. Hawksworth, Gibbs.

CIRCUS It is the night of April 19th and the old school at 48th and Union is throbbing with excitement. The turnstiles spin like airplane pro- pellers as thousands of people pour in to see the Annual Tilden Circus, the greatest show on earth! Through the efforts, ingenuity and imagination of loyal students and teachers the throngs are royally entertained and enjoy a night that will never be forgotten. The multitudes are thrilled and chilled by the darting and crawling minute bacteria which cavort under the microscopes. A1 Phillips, John Chambers, Ed Woike, Don Montag, and James Chambers prepare to display the unknown Micro-world. Screams, shrieks and wails pierce the Chamber of Horrors as a Frenchman, Herbert Kachele, is about to be attacked by a Devil Woman, John Lorbach. Two colorful Peruvians, Frank Dawson and Gilbert Cygan, dis- play their native custumes to an awe-inspired audience. As rhythmic Hawaiian music plays, Bill Ulbas, Dick Scott, Robert Rogers, Vernon Vondracek, James Brigando and Ed Metke swish their grass skirts from side to side as they dance the Hula Hula. Miss Pat Anderson of Hirsch High School and Miss Joan Harris of Calumet, are crowned Co-queens of Tilden by Miss Doris Dixon, Queen of 1948, as Mary Ann Schaeffer, Joan Lawson and Gwen Scanlan lend their charm to the glamour of the occasion. Ladies of the chorus Charles Novack and Michael McManus entertain their boy friends, Leo Dombrowski and William Ballew, back-stage. Pop! Crackle! Tasty popcorn billows out of machines to satisfy the hunger of the circus crowd. Mrs. Solem and Mrs. Beyer pur- chase some from Miss Grace. 36 CIRCUS Coins tinkle into the Wishing Well and hopeful customers wait for results. Ronald Zablothy, Sam Miglieri and Louis Burdzin- ski are there to see they get their wishes. Two beautiful Tilden gals, Michael McManus and Pat Currin, put their hearts and souls into You're lust in Love. The daring and romantic Red Shadow, John Patterson, pre- pares for a duel. The famous and mysterious palmist, Richard Schreiner, reads the fortune of an astonished sucker whose palm fortells a future that leaves him gasping. The crowds wander inquisitively through the srteets of the Chinese Village where Mr. Woemer sells exotic trinkets. In the depths of darkest Africa Samson, George Smith, the gigantic and horrifying gorilla, attacks a courageous native pyg- my, George Gilmore. An Arabian girl, Pat Currin, welcomes back the Red Shadow from his victorious battle. The Grand Finale brings everyone to the center of the stage to sing So Long! and soon the weary, but happy circus crowds slowly trudge down the stairs and out of the building, convinced that the 1951 Tilden Circus was the best of all! 37 Mrs. Stanton and Zych prepare to go to Valley Forge to receive Freedom Foundation Award for Tilden.

This service is accomplished through the following organizations. Military Police provide for the safe loading of students on public transportation vehicles at the end of each school day. The company commander is in charge of this operation with a squad at each of the six loading points. Ushers provide for the orderly entrance of students r. o. to all assemblies. Floor commanders are stationed on the main floor and the balcony and they in turn check the door guards to see that they are on post and working properly. Fire guards assist at ail fire drills to see that classes vacate the building quickly and properly. During the present emergency, fire guards double for air raid guards and act in the same manner as for fire drills. T. C. PICKED PLATOON First Row: Cdt. Sgt. Blake. Cdt. Cpl. Gross. Cdt. Cpl. Jacobs.

The rifle team fires in the Fifth Army match. Hearst matches, and District matches. Cadets firing 180 or more points out of 200 are members of the 180 Club. Platoon competition is held each November when a platoon from each school competes in drill pro- ficiency. The city is divided into districts and the winners compete for city honors. Our unit was second in the district last year. t. c. The color guard posts colors at all assemblies and flys the flag for the school each school day. Many outside organizations call on them to post colors for special occasions. The Drum and Bugle Corps is considered one of the best in the city. They provide the martial music for all parades of the units, and also appear for school and community activities. 41 Mr. Ford and band members spend many hours practicing in the big band room. The cymbals clang, the drums bang and the horns blaze away! Tilden's Concert Band is rehearsingl Soon the assembly hall doors swing wide and stu- dents swarm down the aisles as our band boys enthusiastically perform, and Joe Tilden sits back in his seat to enjoy the assembly program.

Mem- bers take part in all assemblies and add interest and entertainment whenever Joe and his friends get together. Freshmen may join the band the first semester of their attendance at Tilden. They are taught to read music by the beat-response method. They are also taught the fundamentals of music and after they have acquired sufficient knowledge and skill in the use of their instruments they may join the Junior Band and eventually the Concert Band. After three semesters of band membership, Joe may earn a letter and for every extra hundred hours of service a bar is added.

FAVORITE SELECTIONS Halls Of Ivy If Be My Love a torud Singing together has always been a means of showing good fellowship. With Joe Tilden in the center of forty-five members of the choral group, the chorus is one of the greatest attractions at Tilden. As Joe goes to the microphone to sing a song in his blue and gold sweater, with the spot- light on him, a great round of applause comes from the boys in the assembly. As he finishes his number and walks back to the center of the group, he has a feeling of pride within himself, because he has contributed his part to the program. Chorus entertains at assemblies, P.T.A. meet- ings, our annual Nite of Note, Tilden's Spring concert, at many other school affairs and at Christmas time around our tree when carols fill the air. Senior and Junior Choruses made a mile and a quarter of recordings this year which were heard during the holiday season in Tilden and throughout the community over loud- speakers.

In division attendance is taken and stu- dent's records are kept. Fellows talk over where they plan to go on Saturday night or what they are going to do after the football games. Seniors try to figure out how much money they will have for the prom and who the lucky girl will be. Boys may be seen with their books open, cramming information needed for a geometry or chem test. While at Tilden, students may have the same division teacher for the en- tire four years. This is a great advantage, because in that length of time, teachers get to know us and our problems. A boy may come to his division teacher and find understanding and help at any time. MISS BIRMINGHAM First Row: Stroz. Bux. Jankowski, Raddatz. Wier, Neighbors. Banasiak. Paxton, Simonaitis.

Our school duties develop minds and bod- ies; we think as young men and play as sportsmen. Tilden changes a boyish prankster to an athlete and the gabby kid to a reporter on the Tech Times. As prospective seniors we begin to search the vast American working field to de- tect the trade or profession destined to be ours, a walk of life that will mold us into good citizens and good Americans. Young Tech men take pride in assuming obligations such as 100 con- tribution through division to our Civic fund, in this way aiding Red Cross. Infantile Paralysis Drives, and Children's Aid. MR.

Here he is shown in a new position of leadership. This time Joe is Filon Gadecki, graduate of June, 1950. He was Editor-in-Chief of the 1950 Craftsman and now as a freshman at the University of Illinois, Navy Pier, is editor of the University yearbook. Good luck, Gadecki, we know your book will be a success! Step into the spotlight, James Mientus, graduate of January 1951, Art Editor of 1951 Craftsman! Mientus was chosen Best Citizen of the Year at the time of his graduation from Tilden. At present he is attending the School of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology. Since a member of Illinois Tech, he received the Bishop Sheil Award of $300 and the title Youth of the Year. The award was made for outstanding work in promoting brother- hood and Mientus was selected from among 450 youth organization entries. Good work, Jim! Phil Gadecki at his desk at Navy Pier.

In 1950 the Tilden Blue Devils, an under-rated team at the beginning of the season, proved to experts that they had more than was to be expected from a team whose first string was graduated. Their first opponent was Calumet, whom it met in a pre-season opener. Al- though Calumet had a powerful team, it went down before a spirited Tilden squad 6-2. Next to fall was Farragut in the first league game, by a score of 38-0. Don Stater thrilled the crowd by his 45 yard sprint through the Farragut line to a touchdown. Gage Park was handed its first defeat in the closing minutes of the game, 18-12. The weather complicated the DuSable game because the battle was fought in a field of mud. Ed Niemiec high-lighted Tech's scoring by a 75 yard run down the partially dry side-lines. The final score was 46-0. Dunbar was added to the Blue Devil's increasing string of victories by a 21-6 score. It was Ed Niemiec again who proved his worthiness by intercepting a pass and scoring on a 60 yard run-back. The entire squad saw action in the Englewood game as Tilden emerged victorious 34-6. Bill Eubank threw a pass which was good for 60 yards and a touchdown. The annual homecoming game with Lindblom was a hotly contested battle with the Lindblom Eagles falling victims to the Tilden Blue Devils 6-0. Fred Loffredo scored Tech's lone touchdown early in the second period. Tilden's impressive string of victories entitled the team to play Crane in the city quarterfinals. Although the Techmen played well, Crane emerged the victor in a 32-7 victory over Tilden. 80 SMOKEY KADLUB, Halfback DON STATER. Hallback LOU SPALLA. End BILL WARD. Tackle FRED LOFFREDO.

At the backfield positions were men like Don Stater, who did much of the team's passing, Smokey Kadlub and Ed Niemiec, two excellent broken field runners supported by powerful fullback Bill Fitzgerald and Co-cap- tain Fred Loffredo, who held down the quarter back position very suc- cessfully through-out the season. The line consisted of Co-captain Bob Gleason at center with guards Hans Heid and Bill Alroth doing an excel- lent job of stopping line plays. For tackles there were men like Ray Glenday and Bill Ward holding the line steady. Bob Casper, Richard Fundarek and Lou Spalla were at the ends receiving passes. Lou Spalla was elected the team's most valuable player for his ability in receiving passes and his fine defensive play. Coaches Harvey and Hicks have a host of Lettermen coming back next season and they should have little to worry about. It is thought that the 1951 season will even surpass last season's high standard. 82 Jv 3o During the 1950 Season the Soph Football Team continued the fine record established by previous teams and came through with a record of six wins, three ties and one loss. The man behind the scenes was Coach Earbaro who led the team through their paces, drilling and conditioning them to the per- fection needed to achieve that fine record.

With their first step taken, these Blue Devils move up the ladder to fill the vacancies left on the Varsity by graduation. The Sophs learn more than blocking and tackling; they learn the fundamentals of sportsmanship and the feeling of team- work. This combination is the secret of the success of the Blue Devils in all fields of sports. Petersen, Landeros. Collins. Fiist Row: Banks, Berny, Kuhl, Hawrysz, Thomas. SENIORS Second Row: Formella.

The first sign of strength came when the senior team was invited to defend its championship in the Centralia Tournament during the Christmas holidays. The tournament concluded with the teams making a fine showing and capturing a third place trophy. The squad was sparked by Co-captains Ed Thullen and Cliff DeCeault. The teamwork of Kuhl, Herkel, Palka and Lumsargis also attributed to scoring four wins against one defeat during the tourna- ment. The league season started in January with victories over Gage Park, Kelly, Dunbar, and Farragut. As the season progressed, it became evident to all that Tilden had one of the best teams in the city. The mid-year graduation of Ed Thullen star center, greatly weakened the squad, but this did not stop them from annexing four additional wins. As the squad went into the final league game with Harrison, it met its first defeat in league play losing in the final minute of the game by one point. The previous record entitled the senior team to the Central Section championship for the third consecutive year and a berth in the play- offs. Foreman Park was trounced by the ambitious Tilden quintet but then came McKinley to eliminate the Blue Devils from any additional games. SCOREBOARD Tilden 67. Tilden 44. Tilden 62. Tilden 69.

JUNIORS City Championship means that a team has de- voted time and energy to develop skillfulness. This team was the first Tilden Junior Basketball Team to become City Champions. With all members of last year's graduating except Frank Chico, the only re- turning letterman, Coach Salario had to build a new team. Who made up this Championship team? Frank Chico, Captain and All City Guard, a great ball hawk and dead shot, Edward Kominsky the other guard, a fine floorman and defensive player, Larry Jungman, center, who did a lot of rebounding and averaged twenty points per game in the play- offs were on that team. Wayne Galey, forward, a dead shot from the corners and far out, and Edward Young the other forward, who is a new-comer, also did a lot of rebounding and were deadly on jump shots. This team was a little slow in starting and lost two practice games, but as the season progressed they improved. Tilden, often the under-dog in the playoff games, surprised the sportwriters, but not Tilden fans, by winning the City Championship. This team played hard, clean ball and showed great sports- manship all season long. Then came the most thrilling event of the year, the stadium game for the Mayor Kennelly Benefit Fund. The team lost to a powerful Fenwick squad 54 to 27. This game climaxed the most eventful sea- son a Tilden Junior team ever had. Coach Salario stated, This was the most spirited team 1 have ever coached. He is already planning for next year's squad with hopes of finding boys who may fill the vacancies left by this team. 86 s: CHAMPS] SCOREBOARD Tilden 58...............Gag© Park 48 Tilden 43...................Kelly 35 Tilden 52..................Dunbar 36 Tilden 53................Farragut 51 Tilden 55...............Englewood 47 Tilden 53................Du Sable 49 Tilden 75................Phillips 62 Tilden 65................Lindblom 42 Tilden 52................Harrison 38 PLAY-OFFS Tilden 46.......Kelvyn Park 45 QUARTER FINALS Tilden 54............Foreman 40 SEMI-FINALS Tilden 67.............Waller 47 PUBLIC LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP Tilden 56...........Marshall 55 ALL CITY GAME AT THE STADIUM Tilden 27............Fenwick 54 Wayne Galey dribbles through three Fenwick players as Ed Kominsky stands by.

Center JUNIOR BASKETBALL The diamondeers got off to a flying start this season winning four of their first five games. The team was hurt considerably by the loss of several players due to injuries. That old jinx caught star pitcher and captain of the 1951 season, Ed Jalowiec, and also sidelined Bob Herkle. Coach Postl says, In spite of the injuries we should land a playoff berth. Who made up this baseball team? The infield consisted of Jungman, Sarna, and Bozek at third, short and second respec- tively. Buttice, honorary captain, contributed with his long ball hitting and proved invaluable behind the plate. The outfield boasted of John Jalowiec, LaBarbera and Sparkiewicy; Jalo- wiec and LaBarbera being veterans of last years squad. On the mound were hurlers like Jones, a veteran of three seasons, and LaBarbera who substituted between pitching and fielding. The prospects for next year look a great deal better. With many lettermen returning, Tilden hopes for a good season.

Seventeen contests with other schools followed and in all but two, Tilden wrestlers out-pointed their competition. Climaxing a victorious season our team defeated a veteran C.V.S. squad in the city semi-finals and a well-balanced Hirsch team in the city finals for the right to the cherished title—City Champs. In the City Individual meet, first place titles were earned by Tony Ewonaitis, Tom Carver, Captain Bud Weick and Fred Lof- fredo. A number of other techmen placed second, third and fourth in the meet. During the State Meet, Tilden placed two men in the finals. Bud Weick successfully defended his 138 pound title and Fred Lof- fredo registered a second place. This entitled the team to third place, New Trier placing first and Waukegan second. Many other team members saw the season through and ma- terially aided in establishing a fine record for this season. How- ever much of the credit for a highly successful season is due to the sage advice and council of Robert Hicks, veteran wrestling coach, who has guided his squads to 20 City Championships, allowing only four to elude the tilden trophy case. Tony Ewoniatis, 95 pounds—1st in City 1951. Fred Loffredo. 165 pounds—1st in City 1951; 3rd in City 1950; 2nd in State 1951; 2nd in State 1950. Walter Slauther. 95 pounds—Undefeated.

The junior squad consists of boys sixteen years of age and under and the senior squad is made up of boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty. The senior team enlisted many Lettermen from the previous year s junior team and against strong competition they defeated twenty of their twenty four opponents. The cindermen placed sixth in the City Meet. Second place honors were earned by Boge and Captain Paxton in the 440 and 880 yard runs respectively. Hering took fourth in the high hurdles while Juskiwicz won fourth in the mile run. The juniors, defending City Champions, were weakened consider- ably by the lack of veteran trackmen. They went on to win fifth place in the City Meet. These boys were sparked by Captain Lester Hebert, who guided the team through the season. Individual recognition was given to Gibbs and Lloyd who placed second in the 660 yard run and the three standing broad-jumps respectively. The relay team placed fourth in this competition. Tech recently placed third in the Chicago Daily News Public School Relays. This team was composed of Niemiec, Paxton, Hebert and Boge. For their participation each received a bronze medal.

A few common styles in swimming are the breast- stroke, crawl and side stroke. Diving is also of major importance and is based on approach and form. With a dive and a splash Joe is in the water swimming for a possible victory. Tilden was victorious over Lindblom, Gage Park and DuSable. Harrison, a strong team, defeated us twice, each time by only a few points. Some of the outstanding members of teams are: Leavell, Walski,.Harris and B. Cichorski of the junior team, Varclavek, Taylor, Vivoda, Dumont, Siston, Michaels and Reed of the senior team. Varclavek shows good possibilities of becoming a great swimmer. He took second in the 100 yard breast-stroke and dominated the field in the 150 yard medley in the city spring meet. 93 9n tramura Is CHESS First Row: Boltz. Martin. Second Row: Stuopis. Filer.
