Mr. George Botts Mr. Lewis Worst Mr. Oliver Fifer MECHANICAL DRAWING The drafting courses at Tilden are designed to introduce the mechanically inclined student to ma- chine design, theories of perspective, and the funda- mentals of architectural drawing. As a result of skill acquired in the Drafting Department at Tilden, many boys become draftsmen; others find their drafting ex- perience excellent preliminary training for work in a technical college. All in all, the drafting courses are invaluable to the engineers, architects, and me- chanics of tomorrow. Mr. Henry Ratajski Mr. Cotton watches R.

SOCIAL STUDIES The courses offered in Tilden’s Social Science Department extend over a wide range; such as world history, United States history, economics, and contemporary American history. Through these different history classes the student ac- quires a strong understanding of the difficulties that have troubled the world in the past. The student learns the different causes and remedies of previous failures in governments and so bene- fits in the future from them. It has been said that one can only understand the problems of today by seeing them in the light of past events. R. Richmond points out where the Declaration of Independence was written to R. Smalik and T. Swan- son. Mr. William Mr. John Harwell Murray L. Savage, C. Rudauskas, and R. Tribue notice that anci- ent architecture resembles that of our present day White House.

SHOPS C. Hall, R. Yuskis, and R. Gerbic make last minute adjustments before painting their projects in Wood Shop. Students test a small motor in Aircraft Shop. Advanced linotype students R. Long, C. Jones, and J. Frechette get to work on their next assignment. Tilden provides courses of instruction in many different types of shop work, which is a requirement for any student entering into one of the many fields of engineering. This training is also a distinct ad- vantage for any boy who may decide to be a trades- man or mechanic. Tilden’s shops are supplied with the finest equipment that can be obtained and staffed with well-trained instructors who pass along to the students their many years of knowledge and experience. Regardless of the chosen profession that the stu- dent enters later in his lifetime, he will always find his shop training invaluable. He can always find use for it, and it contributes immensely to his under- standing of the industrial world.
