In conjunction with this program, parents and teachers have met and discussed many phases of education. In October, the parents and teachers met and welcomed the freshman mothers. A tour of the shops and laboratories was conducted in No- vember. Miss Margaret Mullen contributed to the Christmas program by presenting a series of numbers by the senior chorus. The following months brought lectures and filmfe, which proved interesting to everyone. This June, next year's officers were nominated and the annual report given. 13

M jA men The Adjustment Office is under the supervision of Mrs. Mary Hilton. She administers tests to all incoming students and records results on permanent record cards in the files in the office. This information, available to division and class teachers and sponsors, is easily accessible to them. Mrs. Hilton also cooperates with welfare and relief organizations in securing medical, dental, and economic aid for needy students. Assisting boys to find part or full time jobs after school, investigating causes for leaving school, and registering eighteen year olds for Selective Service are among Mr. Roland West's varied duties. He is also the custodian of the precious street car passes issued each semester by the C.T.A. The steady stream of boys to and from his office is evidence of the numerous calls made on Mr. West's helpfulness. ant 1C areeri Guidance of boys who desire to extend their education beyond high school is given by Miss Katherine Birmingham. On file in Miss Birmingham's office for information of students, are entrance requirements for numerous colleges and universities. In appraisals and careers classes students survey the occupational fields to learn of vocational opportunities that are available to them, and are able, by tests, to determine the type of work for which they are best suited. S lttendc ance It is the aim of the Attendance Office to encourage regularity and punc- tuality. All problems of non-attendance and tardiness are referred to this office, which is in charge of Miss Aline Cullison. A remodeled office and a cumulative attendance record system were new this year. In the revised system, a single card gives a complete picture of a student's attendance and leasons for absence. In the belief that irregular attendance leads to failures and dropouts, the attendance personnel strive to reduce absences to a minimum.

Mr. Post, Veterans' Counselor, directs a group in preparation for final tests. Miss Dix instructs students in social studies. Mr. Goodrich, teacher of mathematics and science conducts a lesson in qeom- etry. Vet etc reins 9 Approximately eighteen hundred ex-servicemen have taken advan- tage of the veterans' program at Tilden. For many of them it has meant fulfillment of an ambition to attend college; for others, it has meant undreamed of opportunities in business and industry; for all, it has been an enriching experience. The program has made it possible for students who left school during World War 2 to join the Armed Forces, to complete their interrupted education. Here, each student pro- gresses at his own rate, receiving credit for a course by passing a test administered by the Veterans' Test- ing Service of the Chicago City Junior Colleges. Mrs. Aldrich and students of English discuss trends in literature. 14
