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

TIL DEN TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL CHIC A GO • ILL INOIS THE FOREWORD High school life can be compared to a musical performance. Just as a young musi- cian appears before his critics with doubt and uncertainty, the freshman enters high school with many misgivings. Here he is in- troduced to many things, new and different, here he discovers new talents and interests, here he receives expert guidance from his teachers and administrators. Soon he. like the hesitant musician, gains new confidence and learns that he has great potentialities. He sets about to develop them. Just as the musician spends hours a day, for years, per- fecting each technique in turn, the student proceeds with his rehearsals. Classroom work, clubs, service organizations, and ath- letics all contribute to his progress. Rehear- sal goes on day after day. For the musician, years of preparation are climaxed by his appearance before a vast audience. For the student, four years of study lead to the fulfillment of his ambition — graduation from high school. For both, it is the beginning of new and greater per- formance in whatever walk of life their paths may lead. CONTEN THE TRYOUTS ADMINISTRATION .. FACULTY .......... FRESHMEN SOPHOMORES .......

It is not necessary to know music or to own an instrument. Under the direction of Mr. Ford all members learn the fundamentals of music and the technique of mastering the instrument of their choice. For instructional purposes members are grouped into beginners, intermediate, and concert band. As they improve they progress to the upper groups. The concert band plays at football games, graduation exercises, and assembly programs. Their annual concert is a real musical treat. Because of Mr. Ford’s absence. Mr. Saxon com- pleted the rehearsals and directed this year's impressive presentation. SPRING CONCERT PROGRAM 2. Bells Across The Meadows Kelelbey 3. Lady of Spain Doble 4.

Our Senior and Junior choruses have the pleasure of raising their voices in song under the direction of Miss Mullen and Mr. Stephens. Besides contributing their talents to entertaining us at school assemblies and performing at Open House and Big Top nights, some of these choristers performed at the National Music Conference held in Chicago this spring. These boys not only enjoyed singing but brought hours of listening pleasure to their audiences. . . . SENIOR CHORUS Row 1: McElroy, Anderson. Bochenski. Engelke, Ghent, Atkinson. Gill, Hudson.

Only three newspapers in this class received superior rating and Tech Times was one of them. Our paper was rated superior ten consecutive times. Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school jour- nalists. Northwestern University, has rated the Times superior for ten semes- ters. Among superior papers the Gallup award is conferred upon those whose staffs accomplish exceptional results in journalism. Times received this award three consecutive years. Miss Gallagher and her staff are to be commended for their fine work. We heartily agree with the judges who stated Times is a high class all-around newspaper. It is well adapted to the school it serves so effectively. It is a fundamental factor in maintaining high standards in the school. CRAFTSMAN Producing a book requires many talents and much painstaking labor. The Craftsman staff are here shown applying themselves to the task of getting out our yearbook. Some write copy, check identifications, and plan pictures. Others type, do art work, draw cartoons, and take pictures. All are needed to insure a complete pic- ture of the year 1953-54.

This group, con- sisting of one delegate from each division, plus an executive board, does considerable good around our school. Delegates are elected by division members and officers are elected by the student body. An agenda for each weekly meeting is received in advance by the delegate and he then has an opportunity to obtain suggestions from his division, on the questions due for consideration. Following each meeting, he reports to his division on what transpired there. Mr. Levin is the faculty sponsor of the Student Council. Page 54 Democracy In Practice You will always see a crowd around the attractive bulletin board in our front corridor. A Student Council Committee keeps it filled with up-to-the- minute news and notices. On it will be found announcements of coming social events, sports schedules, posters, photos, and other items of interest to Tildenites. . . . BULLETIN COMMITTEE Row I: Cowley. Camerano, Harding.

To become a member, a student may have no grade lower than excellent. Members identify themselves by wearing the honor “T pin to which a bar is added for subsequent semesters of membership. When a member has concluded four semesters on the club and a year of service to the school, he is awarded the cherished double T of Tilden. Honor certificates are conferred at the honor assemblies held each semester. Gold certificates are given to those whose grades are superior and blue certificates to those with no grade lower than excellent. Even though this achievement means consistent hard work, member- ship in the club is steadily increasing. Page 56 TUden News Makes Headlines . . . CLIPPINGS BUREAU Seated: De Angelis. Kozlowski.

These newsy items are gathered daily by approximately thirty Tildenites who collect them from our neighborhood and city-wide newspapers. Any pub- lished news of Joe Tilden’s plans and achievements are posted for all to see. The Bureau under the able direction of Mrs. Kuffner and Mrs. Cassin also keep Joe Tilden s name before the residents of the various communities, by reporting important events at Tilden to news agencies. The files of the Clip- pings Bureau could tell quite a tale of Tilden history. Page 57 Champions Of Our Sports World Proud wearers at the Tilden T include all the men who have earned a letter in any major sport. It is no easy matter to rate this honor in an all-boy school where competition in all sports is keen and where even skilled athletes sometimes fail to make a team. The Lettermen sponsor two of the top social events of the year, the Thanksgiving Eve Dance, which all Tildenites may attend, and a dinner in spring for Lettermen only.

Carmel Vs. Tilden . . . The Mt. Carmel game was a battle between the defending champs of the City and Tilden Tech, rated among the best in the city in 1953. It was a terrific battle with Carmel scoring first on a pass after marching deep into our territory. At the beginning of the second half Jablonski put on the speed and raced 80 yards on the kick-off before being stopped. Then Zemke grabbed Spiewak’s pass and the conversion tied the score. It was a see-saw battle the rest of the way and the final score was Tilden. 7; Mt. Carmel. 7. Elgin Vs. Tilden .. . Elgin put up a great battle, before a supe- rior Tilden Tech team rallied in the second half to win 18 to 6. Fenger Vs. Tilden . .. One of the best teams in the city in 1953 were our next opponents. It was a battle down to the wire. In the first quarter Nick Grevan. our all state back, returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter a strong Fenger team scored two touchdowns. Then for the second time in three games a never-say-die Tilden Team came from behind to tie the score on the strength of N. Grevan’s 5 yard plunge and Jablonski's conversion. Hirsch Vs. Tilden . . . Bartkiewicz scored twice and Grevan and Weller scored once as our Blue Devils subdued a stubborn Hirsch team 27 to 6. That was a bad break. Page 65 Blue Devils A Threat To Every Toe Lindblom Vs. Tilden . . . Tilden turned loose its terrific scoring power in our annual homecoming game against Lindblom. our traditional rival. After a hard charging de- fensive line gained a touchback. it was no contest, as our team scored almost at will. Our scorers were Bartkiewicz. our brilliant half-back scored three times while Jim Hughes, and Nick Grevan scored one apiece. Nick Grevan managed to throw two touchdown passes, and sprinted 20 yards for another. Page 66 Mack. Guard Spicwak. Quarterback C.V.S. Vs. Tilden . .. Tilden Tech stunned a highly rated C.V.S. team which had come to this game unbeaten and untied. Nick Grevan provided the spark, throwing four 40 yard passes which resulted in T.D's. And as if that weren’t enough, he raced 66 yards for another touchdown before throwing a short scoring pass to our star quarter- back Dave Spiewak. Yes. it was quite a day for Nick Grevan and the entire Tilden Tech Team. Our heavy duty fullback Jablonski also swept around end for a touchdown. Forberg, End Barker. Center Sarna.

Yes. you guessed it. this game was another close one. Phillips put up a terrific battle and managed to hold a hard blocking, fast moving, hard tackling Tilden Tech team to only 33 points. The scorers were Grevan twice: Hughes. Spiewak. and Jablonski each once. Our great tackling and blocking linemen were terrific in subduing Phillips' threats. Du Sable Vs. Tilden ... In our first playoff game we continued to show a terrific scoring punch and equally potent defense. The mighty Blue Devils of Tilden found no trouble in solving Du Sable s defense. All the scores were on runs. The scorers were Grevan and Fiocchi. twice, and Bartkiewicz once. All City guard. A1 Fugett. rushed in to block a punt and carry it 18 yards for a touchdown.

Til- den deftly ran up their second high- est score of the season. A great back Ed Finley managed to score for a doggedly spirited Marshall team. Meanwhile backs Jablonski. Fiocchi. and Bartkiewicz scored on runs be- hind a hard charging Blue Devil line. Hughes made a nice catch of a scor- ing pass from Jablonski and Spiewak closed the scoring with an exciting 45 yard run after an interception. This game ended a string of six games in which our defense had held our opponents to nine points or less. Lane Tech Vs. Tilden Tech . . . This clash turned into a great defen- sive battle. It was obvious that the team which managed to get the breaks would win this one. The tackling and blocking going on out on the field were vicious. Finally in the third period Jablonski plunged over to tie the score at thirteen points apiece. The conversion was missed but then came the deciding break; Lane was offside and Spiewak’s con- version put the game on ice. Finals, Austin Vs. Tilden . . . Al- though the score indicates that we lost by thirteen points, every Tilden- ite had reason to be proud of his team. Our boys played their hearts out. not yielding an inch. Austin showed a surprisingly strong offense and defense in defeating the Blue Devils. It had been a terrific season for Coach Chuck Harvey s boys and they deserve to be congratulated for their skill and sportsmanship. Scoreboard Tildcn 7 Mt.

These were chiefly lack of height and experience. Only a few players returned from the previous squad. The team partly made up for these shortcom- ings with hustle and fight. Coach Postl’s Boys won only a few games. They did their best and made a splendid display of sportsmanship, fight, hustle, and agility. At mid-season we lost two fine players which loss hurt our team, but as the season pro- gressed our boys improved rapidly. In the last game of the season they put up a terrific battle against Du Sable whose team finished second in the Sweet Sixteen State Tournament. Most of the players will return and with the addition of a few promising Frosh-Soph players we should have a team to be feared in next year’s City League play. • Branigan. Forward Zcmpkc, Center BASKETBALL Darguzis. Forward Barker. Guard FROSH-SOPH . . . Our Frosh-Soph had a terrific season. Not many basketball squads in the City could boast of as fine a ball-handling, rebounding, defending, and shooting team as we had. They were a well balanced team and they won 8 games and lost 2. in league play, to qualify for the city league play-offs. Although they lost their first play-off game� they showed fine caliber. Coach Salario had a com- paratively new squad to work with and did wonders with it. Our boys played well in every game and lost a few by close margins. If this team is any indication of future varsity quality, our cagers should be among the best in the future. We are looking forward to an equally fine Frosh-Soph team next season. Row 1: Thayer.

Here is where the teams practice, and where some of the meets are held. All Tildenites have the opportunity to swim after school and to try out for the teams. A Swim-A-Mile club started this year has met with great enthusiasm. Coach Kinsey is sponsor of swim activities. Diver: Leon Scott. . . . SENIOR TEAM Row I: Howell. Gonzalez. Barkell. Oloier.

Gaynor. and Tebelskis hitting 383, 383. and 420 respectively, have been a big help to the team while the pitching of Otto who has a record of 4-1 in league play, has been an important factor in the team’s success. . . .

Round and round they go creating a whirlwind as they zip by in their eagerness to set new speed records. During the indoor and outdoor seasons the thinclads shattered four school records and tied one. Trackmen also broke the medley relay record in South-Central relays. Junior Co-Captains Mamon Gibson and Carrol Johnson are responsible for three of the new marks. Gibson tied high jump record with a leap of 5 feet 8 inches and set a new pole vault height of 10 feet 10 inches. Johnson ran 70 yard low hurdles in 8.7 seconds to establish a new junior mark. Sylvester Robertson set the only two new senior records. He ran the indoor half mile in 2 minutes 6.7 seconds and outdoor half mile in one minute 58.7 seconds. He established an outdoor school record in state competition at Champaign-Urbana which was the sixth best time in the state. Besides great individual efforts there was terrific team balance. This year’s team was in the race for the City Championship all the way. Under the great coaching of Mr. Chuck Harvey and Mr. Isadore Salario the boys succeeded in making quite an inspired bid for the championship. This year’s team will leave behind them an unusually spectacular numer of records broken. They made quite a creditable performance finishing sixth in the city outdoors and second in the city indoors. Page 76 INTRAMURALS Intramural sports under the able direction of Mr. Hartman, have long been an important factor in Tilden’s athletic program. These many sports provide a fine opportunity for all boys who are not on the team representing the school, to participate in their favorite competitive sports. Division teams, from freshies to seniors, compete against other division teams in such sports as basketball, track, cross country, chess, checkers, tug of war. swimming, table tennis, volleyball, wrestling, horseshoe pitching, and bicycle racing. This year, in addition to sports, intramural con- tests were held in safety and clean-up cartoons, and amateur entertainment. Besides developing a fine competitive spirit through these activities, the boys learn good sports- manship. clean play, and fairness to all. They play hard to win because the winners are awarded shields in their respective sports. These shields are worn proudly on those prized Tilden sweaters. . . . DRILL TRAM Row I: Dawkins.

A unit of alert, well trained cadets brought distinction to Tilden this year. The rifle team took third place in the National Rifle Junior Championship Match at St. Charles. In the annual Federal Inspection. Tilden ranked third in the city, and thereby rated a position of honor in the Memorial Day parade. Besides these unit awards, several cadet officers received medals for exceptional accom- plishments. The R.O.T.C. have served Tilden well as ushers, military police, and fire guards. Ser- geant Heffernan is in charge of the cadets and he is to be commended for his fine work with them this year. Page 79 . . . RIFLE TEAM Cdt. 2nd Lt. Colao. Cdt. Sgt. Smith. Cdt. M Sgt. Schnffrath.
