Some college professors feel that the academic features are made to suffer, ami many student bodies who have expressed them- selves have declared firmly that the great interest that has built stad iums where thousands might see such encounters is harmful. In fact there is a movement for fewer star players and more students taking part, with less—much less—public interest. Interest and participation in sports of various kinds grows every year. Big stadiums are being built to witness contests, and the skill of the players participating is de- veloped to the highest degree. With the increased interest is 'bom a keener sense of good sportsman- ship, which is the chief reason why educational institutions devote so much of their thought and energy to the promotion and supervision of spyrts. What is this good sports- manship? The Code of the Mis- souri Public Schools declares that a Good Sportsman. . . . 1. Does not misrepresent his eligibility. 2. Will avoid unnecessary rough- ness that might injure an opponent. 3. Plays fair at all times. 4. Plays his best to the end whether he is winning or losing. 5. Plays for the fun of playing and the success of his team. 6. Regards visiting contestants as guests and treats them accord- ingly. 7. Is courteous to officials, ac- cepts adverse decisions graciously and expects them to enforce the rules. The Artisan 8. Congratulates the winners, gives them full credit, does not ex- plain or make excuses. 9. Is modest in victory; does not brag or “rub it in.” 10. Observes training rules and seeks in all ways to represent his school worthily. 11. Among his fellows is fair, courteous and determined. Above all he is a gentleman. Faculty Support The interest of the faculty in our school paper was shown when 90 per cent of the entire staff of in- structors subscribed to the Artisan before the first issue appeared. The class instructors responded practically 100 per cent. The list was headed by an unusually large signature which no doubt you have seen at one time or another, Colin C. Crawford. Next came Mr. Searle's name, followed by the class instructors. Across the bridge Mr. Harris started the ball rolling with his subscription. Mr. Smith proposed that the yearly subscription be paid on the installment plan, 10c down and 10c a week. However, he was con- vinced that it was more advisable to pay the dollar in advance After paying for his subscrip- tion, Mr. Maconchie stated that it is pretty hard to get a dollar from a Scotchman, so it seems that a year’s subscription to the Artisan is a good buy. Opportunities The growth of industry has de- veloped a great complexity in the (.peration of manufacturing estab- lishments. These modern develop- ments have created the need for especially trained men of broad education to control and direct such operations to the best advant- age. Not only do they call for a basic technological training in the sciences upon which these opera- tions rest but also, and particularly, for an understanding of the finan- cial, economic, and human problems which are all-important. Men are required who understand what problems arise in industrial operations and who have been es- pecially educated in the sciences and technique which underlie their solution. These men differ from those engineers who must deal more with the design and research requirements of industry and whose training is provided for in the older and more common form of en- gineering courses. As their practi- cal experience accumulates such men will find positions of varying degrees of responsibility, depend- ing upon their capacity for leader- ship, from that of minor assistant to a more responsible executive, up to the ultimate direction and con- trol of the enterprise as a whole. Are you working for these ends , or you letting the opportunities • you have here pass by. Loyalty Every fellow knows what loyalty is, or if he doesn’t he’d better step right off the front porch and hunt him up an education on that point. Loyalty is like good health —you can’t have too much of it, nor too many varieties. And there are such a great many varieties. There is loyalty to your country. There is loyalty to your family. There is loalty to your friends. There is loyalty to yourself. And there are more kinds of loyalty, if you want to go and nose them Everybody admires loyalty, and rightly. Even history admires it, and the ancient loyalty of Damon and Pythias is one of the finest things that ever happened in the world. Even folks who haven't loyalty seem to admire it in others. I| is such a splendid thing that even people who stand outside the law and are looked upon as being very wicked hold loyalty a virtue. It seems as if some folks wh : haven’t any other virtue at all find it necessary to hold to loyalty, and that makes it look pretty import- ant, doesn’t it? Loyalty is a sort of mortar hold- ing together the bricks and stones that make up the edifice of life. If it were not for it, the whole build- ing would come tumbling down, and there we would be up to our necks in rubbish. Loyalty and selfishness will not ride in the same wagon. They arc not on speaking terms. If you are the sort of fellow who is always cut for himself, you want to stay as far away from loyalty as you can because it will cramp your style. A little bit of loyalty has ruined any number of men who have set out to establish a record for selfishness. The thing to do is to take your pick. If you want to be the sort who always plays his own game and works for his own advantage and never cares a rap for what happens to anybody else —then see to it that you eliminate every scrap of loyalty in your system. If, on the other hand, you want to be the sort other men tie to, then reduce your selfishness to as small a pimple as you can. In any event there will be some selfishness left. We can’it get away from it. Probably a tincture of selfishness is necessary. So is a tincture of vanilla necessary in ice cream, but if you pour in the whole bottle you make a pretty bit- ter dish. In this world every fel- low must do a certain amount of looking out for his own interests. Or, at least, we have grown to think it necessary. But the man who was most loved of all the men we ever knew of was one who seemed to have no idea at all of getting things for himself. Hi never got rich, and mostly he was pretty poor—if you don’t count as an asset the fact that every man or woman he ever came in contact with loved him. Ybu can’t b» genuinely poor when people feel that way about you. WE WONDER We wonder if Mr. Washington ever drew flies. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder how long the “Free Press” will continue to carry the slogan, “Michigan’s Greatest News- paper.” We wonder ? ? ? Mr. Hawkes—We wonder how much halitosis there is in a bushel of onions. We wonder ? ? ? Mr. Edwards—We wonder how much longer a steam engine would live if it didn’t smoke so much. We wonder ? ? ? Mr. Ostenfeld—We wonder if re- versing a screw machine would cause the soda water to run back- wards. We wonder ? ? ? Mr. Hamilton—We wonder if shifting sand makes people shift- less. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder if the originator of all the Scotch jokes known Mr. Crawford. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder if Mr. Scott will tell us why the sum of the included angles of a square right triangle equals the circumference of a boa- constrictor’s neck. We won- der ?? ? We wonder if Mr. Wallman and Mr. Roberts get their permanent waves at the same beauty parlors. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder if the heat will bother Mr. Hamilton as much after death as before. We wonder ? ? ? After Mr. Hollis’ too-weak va- cation, we wonder why he said “Back to the mill.” We also wonder why Mr. Sulli- van said “Back to the grind.” Still wondering, we wonder what Mr. Buttener said. Mr. Machoniche—We wonder if annealing will cure arterioschler- isis. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder where Mr. Day’s mustache has disappeared to. We wonder ? ? ? (It has been rumored that Mr. Andrews appropriated it and dyed it black). DO IT NOW By FLOYD J. PATTON If you have a job to do, Do it now! Make a start and see it through, Do it now!

Volume I Henry Ford Trade School, October 29. 1926 Number 2 Students See Fordson Plant Ore-Smelting Operations Studied by Class in Metallography The A class as part of their metallography program visited the Fordson plant and followed the purification process of the iron ore into the making of cast iron. Th2y also visited the by-products build- ing and saw the coke ovens. The boys followed the ore from the unloading docks wher? it was taken from th? boats by a Huelot unloader. From there it was con- veyed to the separate bins and then to the loading hoppers where it was weighed and put in definite pro- portions in the skip bucket. This bucket taking the ore, coke and limestone to the top of the Blast Furnace. These charges were then put in the feeding hopper and a the furnace charge diminished th bell spreader would be opened al- lowing the charge to enter the furnace to be reduced to the forma- tion of carbon mon-oxide gas. The boys then entered the furnace house and witnessed a pour. The slag was first drawn off through the slag knotch and taken to the cement factory. The metal entered runways that led it to the ladles. It was then conveyed to the pigging machines where it was poured into molds and cooled. (Continued on Page 5) Future Trips Planned to Study Metallurgy The classes in Metallurgy and Metallography are making their study trips to the Fordson plant. On these trips the boys are en- abled to see at close range the great Blast Furnaces, the coke ovens, the ore docks, methods of handling material, the complet? process of the transformation of iron ore to pig iron. This is followed by a visit to the foundry, where the successive oper- ations are carried on converting pig iron and scrap to castings. Further trips are being planned for the study of the conversion of iron into steel, and the study of the open heat furnaces and the rolling mills.

Th? club first did some experi- menting with soils in room 207 un- til the planting season came, when the club garden was hoed, iaked, lined off, ar.d planted, ihe garden was watched and worked from day to day until the vege- tables were ripe. The boys were allowed 20 cents an hour credit for their work. They were permitted to take as much as they wanted and charged to their accounts. This garden had a very good season and a profit of about 3300 was made on vegetables. The following fall the real work was started on building a club room in the barren attic of the school building. Some of the ma- terial was furnished by the school and the rest by the club. The boys would go' up after school or come on Saturdays and work on the club room, laying the floor, building the walls and ceil- ings, making the tables and other things that can be seen there now. All the actual work was done (by the boys. They then elected officers for the club and drew up a constitution. Adolph Eckert was elected the first president; A. Mauszewski, vice- president; Winston Leighton, secre- tary, and Charles Turner, treasure.-. In the next issue of the Artisan we will tell of purpose and merit system of the club. A mans “ideas” don’t indicate much in his favor unless ha thinks them up himself. Unknown Author Contest Announced This contest is held in connection with the serial story, “The Un- known,” written by a sixteen year old Trade School student. Th? pr.ze, a five dollar gold piece, will be awarded to the boy who guesses the name of the author and who send in the best book report on th? story. The following rules will govern the contest: 1. No member of th? staff of the Artisan is eligiole to enter. 2. All reports must be in not later than one week after the last installment of the story has bee.i published. 3. The instructors of the Eng- lish department will be the judges of the book reports. More Opportunities For Entertainers It is disappointing to notice how eager boys are to be entertained but not to entertain. All boys want to see plays put on for their en- tertainment, but plays are impos- sible without players. Just think what a help dramatics would be to you in the world, you could dramatize your ideas and make them clearer and also develop an imaginative mind which is! necessary for a leader among men. There are opportunities for boys in every section. T section will put on a play to be directed by Max Schneider who played the part of ignorance in the “Enchanted Is- land.” All boy's in T section wish- ing to take part in this play should see Schneider in the Exploration Club room. Plymouth Falls Before Artisans Spectacular Plays Bring Trade School Eleven Easy Victory Plymouth was defeated in an in- terested game by the Henry Ford Trade School, 43 to 0, at Plymouth, October 22, 1926. The Trade School team ran away with the game, but, at that, it was a thrilling game, both to the spectators and players. Many wonderful end runs and line plung- es were featured in the game. First Quarter Plymouth kicked out of bounds. Kopach received second kick, buo gained nothing. After many plays, Trade School, without losing the ball, gained 65 yards for the first touchdown of the game. The extra point was kicked by Marshand. Plymouth received Trade School’s kick without a gain, and whil? the ball was theirs, lost 7 yards. No scoring was done during the re- mainder of the quarter. Score at end of quarter, 7-0. Second Quarter The ball was on Trade School s 10 yard line. In four plays Trade School made another touchdown, but lost extra point. Plymouth kicked to Trade School’s 30 yard line, and after re- (Continued on Page 6) Wool Preparation is Seen on Shop Trips Shop trips are conducted by Mr. R. E.

October 29, 1926 The Artisan 3 . THE UNKNOWN By the Green Author CHAPTER TWO The two men watched, horror- stricken, as the boy and his mount toppled pver the precipice. Finally rousing themselves they snatched up their rifles and ran down the hill side. They uttered no sound as they went, but on their grizzled and weatherbeaten countenances was written the grief which they bore for the boy whom hey be- lieved to be dead. There also was the dread of the unknown in their minds, for they knew not who the boy’s mysterious assailant was. But predominating over ail was anger, stark and terrible, which had transformed these gentle old men into beasts of passion, silent passion it is true, but all the more terrible. When they reached the bottom of the hill they were torn between two emotions, anger and anxiety. In their minds they saw two pic- tures, first the boy's assailant gloating over his dastardly deed and making his way home—safe from trial; and the other picture, the 'boy in excruciating agony, cry- ing out for help which does not come, or perhaps already silent in death. Each guessed what was in the mind of the other and at last Jed with the light of determination shining in his eyes said, “Luke, you look after the boy while I search for the fellow who shot him, and God grant that I may find him.” As he spoke these words his eyes grew blea and cold and his voice rang with a passionate and stern determination. For old Jed Pearson, the patriarch of the vil- lage, had loved the young lad well. Old Luke gazed into his friend’s eyes a moment and then with a convulsive movement seized the other's hand, gripped it, and turn- ed abruptly toward the path which led to the bottom of the precipice, while Jed turned to the path on the right which led to the hill from which the boy’s foe had fired. Old Luke’s heart was sore with- in him and the wo. Id which had se.med so bright and cheery just a short time before was now dark and gloomy. To add .to his des- pondency the shades of night be- gan to drop slowly upon the earth. -Already the forest beyond the hills was in the deep shadows which soon would pitch dark until the moon rose. The sound of the breeze among the tree tops, the chirping of the birds and crickets, all of which had been as music in his ears, now sounded harsh and discordant to Luke. The one great joy of his life was gone. He quickened his stride. Perhaps there was a chance of the boy’s having survived that ter- rible fall from the precipice. Hop- ing against hope he hurried along the rock-strewn path until he came to the bottom of the cliff. Here everything seemed quiet and peace- ful and there was nothing to indi- cate that a tragedy had ocourrel but a short time before. Luke made his way to the base of the precipice. Following its rugged wall he suddenly turned a sharp corner and met a sight which filled him with horror. There Jay the horse which the boy had rid- den that day, stone dead, its neck broken. But young Luke was no- where in evidence. He seemed to have vanished into thin air. Old Luke gazed helplessly at the surrounding landscape, and as he raised his eyes they were attracted by the peculiar position of a young tree which grew on a ledge which jutted out from the face of the precipice, about one quarter of the distance from the top. This tree, which ordinarily grew in an up- right position, was now bent and sagged, as though it carried a heavy burden. Luke hurried to the base of the cliff and made an effort t o climb the precipice. It was possible to do so, but only by the expenditure of much energy and time. So he went around to the other side of the hill and climbed to the top. When he reached the edge of the preci- pice he eagerly looked over, and there, spread among the branches of the tree lay young Luke, uncon- scious. He realized that it would be im- possible for him to carry the un- conscious boy up the steep side of the cliff alone. What was he to do ? If he waited for help, the lad, rousing to consciousness, might slip from the tree and be dashed to his death hundreds of feet be- low. As the ok! man stood, his mind wrung by the terrible per- plexity, he heard a hail from the bottom of the draw, and upon look- ing down he barely made out the figure of Jed in the gloom. He motioned for Jed to join him, and when Jed appeared on the top he inquired, “What luck?” “He was gone,” answered Jed. “When I got there I could not fol- low his tracks because of the stony ground.” “That’s all right,” said Luke, consolingly. “Help me gelt the boy up there.” So they both set to the task of getting the lad to the top of the hill. Tt was a dangerous job, for a single mistep meant death. At last the boy was raised over the edge of the cliff. Examination found his injuries slight, thanks to the tree, but they needed imme- diate attention. The dusk was al- ready about them, and the village was all of five miles away. They decided to take the boy to the cabin of “Old Lonesome,” an old hermit who made his home in an old shanty about a mile away. Old Lonesome had the reputation of being not entirely sane. In silence they went down the hill with their burden. The boy was quite heavy, land the way rough, so they frequently rested, then pressed on again. They some ! times stumbled in the increasing gloom, but they doggedly kept on until they saw the twinkling light of a candle. Just as they reached the front of the cabin they heard a cracked voice chuckle gloatingly, and as Luke put out his hand to knock at the door it opened. Be- fore they could move, a six-foot black snake was flung in their faces. (To be continued). SALVAGED SCRAP SOS YOUR OLD MAN “Papa,” said the small boy, “what do they mean by college bread? Is it different from any other kind of bread?” “My son,” replied the the father, “it’s a four year loaf.” GRAMMAR “Our geometry teacher doesn’t use correct English, does he? ’ “Why?” “He says, pie are square, and should say pie is round.” FINAL Mr. Crowley: “I won’t ask an- other girl to marry me.” Mr. Day: “Why is that?” Mr. Crowley: “The girl I asked last night accepted me.” HOOF Perham: “Hey, wait a minute, there's something in my shoe that hurts.” Stein: “What is it?” Perham: “My foot.” MOONSHINE Mr. Scott: “Which does the most damage, fire or water?” Mr. Crowley: “Both.” “Howzat?” “Firewater.” H. Wilson: “I’ll give you a dime if you’ll get me a lock of your sis- ter’s hair.” Bethuey: “Make it a quarter and I'll get you the whole bunch, 1 know where she hangs it.” We’re intellectual opposites. Be explicit. I’m intellectual and you’re the opposite. Baby Lincolns Win Over Grand Trumbulls Last week marked an early vic- tory for the Baby Lincolns over the Grand Trumbulls, with a score of '13 to 0. The game was played at Northwestern field. Baby Lincolns kicked off, Grand Trumbulls losing the ball of the B. L.’s 30 yard line. The B. L.’s worked it down to the G. T.'s 20 yard line where Plotzke passed to Vanasse who carried it over for a touchdown. Honstain kicked a successful field goal for the extra point. In the second quarter G. T. put up good defense for a while, but a pass from Proctor to Hunter brought another touchdown. In the third quarter B. L. kick- ed off, but quickly gained the ball, and after much passing, the oppos- ing line was broken by Ludwig who made the third touchdown. Again B. L. kicked off, and again recover- ed the ball. This time Plotzke took it for an end run and a touchdown. Collings kicked the extra point. G. T. started the last quarter with a number of end runs, but lost the ball on their own 30 yard line. Shaft made an end run for a touch- down, and Liske kicked the extra point. The remainder of the game saw much line plunging, but no further scoring. Don’t Be What You Ain’t By DE VERB DEWEY.
