Volume I Henry Ford Trade School, November 12, 1926 Number 3 M Wins Championship in Section Football Contests Overbey’s Team Keeps Championship Won Last Year All Section Squad Chosen by Coach Broker Will Play Varsity Second Team M section came from behind and won the section championship in the season which has just been com- pleted. After losing the first game to W by the score of 6 to 0, the M section team worked hard and late, with the determination to win the championship for the second time. Captain Wizinski proved to be a good leader as well as ball toter, and had hearty co-operation of the the gun that made the most holes through the line. Fields, quarter- back, was responsible for directing all plays, and the scores indicate that he usually called the right sig- nal. The line, with Rakick at center, Gran and Grietsell at guards, Spies and Calcaterra at tackles, Ingram and Swiatek at ends, was a forward wall that enabled the backfield to move the ball forward, and on de- fense was a terror for the opposing backs. Mr. Overbey wears two smiles now, one for last year's champion- ship, and one for this year’s. W section started the season look- ing like a winner, and enjoyed lead- ing the league the first half of the season, but was forced to step down and give place to the green and white. The good defensive work of the red and white coupled with the ground-gaining of Locke, Hoetger, and Glance, gave pride to its lead- er, Captain French, and its coach, Mr. Rogers. T section, under the leadership of Captain Cecora, presented a team that played hard every game, and gradually came to the front to win their last game from W by the score of 6 to 2. Eric Teichert at full- back gave the crowd a thrill by his line plunging, as did Cecora by his end runs and good defensive work. Mr. Domico and Mr. Scott have put pep into the players that they will carry on to the varsity and still fight with the same good spirit. How they stand: Team Games Won Tie Lost Pet. Pts.

The Varsity second team has been selected as the victim, and Novem- ber 19 the date. The last issue of the Artisan told of the beginning of the Exploration Club and its purpose. In this issue we will tell you about its merit sys- tem. For every hour of work the boys are given ten merits and for all spe- cial assignments, book reports and various other club work the boys are also given merits. These mer- its are totaled every three weeks. In order to have a vote in the club a member must have 400 merits and for every 400 merits he receives a silver bar. Five bars entitle him Classes at Court The A” classes visited the Cir- cut Court of Wayne County in con- nection with their civics class. The boys were privileged to hear a num- ber of interesting and instructing cases and from their observations learnt the proceedings of the court. In the near future Judge Dinge- man of the Circuit Court will give a short talk to the Trade School boys. We all look forward to hear- ing Judge Dingeinan as we feel he can give us an interesting bird’s eye view” of the various cases that come before him, their cause, and the result. Halloween Party Given J Explorers at Home of Mr. Bratton On Friday night, October 29, 1926, The Exploration Club members and their girl friends attended a party at the home of Mr. Bratton in Northwood. The party began with an intro- duction to the witch's den. where the members received several thrills particularly the girls. The boys re- ceived some real thrills when they joined the Royal Order of Siam, where the boys experienced some paddling, being branded by a red hot iron, and also being butted by Mr. Carle’s pet goat. They were also given the emblem of the black eye. When the party was in full swing a few of the boys were noticed to leave and go around the back of the house. Then Mr. and Mrs. Bratton announced that a gallon of cider was missing, so Mr. Carle went to the rescue. With a flash- light in his hand he went across the street to a big tree where the jug was found half empty. A little later Alphonse Bethuy and Alex Allie complimented Mr. Bratton on his large trees. (Continued on Page 6) to a star and five stars to an eagle which represents the highest stand- ing of the club. The constitution provides that a member must be among the six highest in standing to be eligible for president or vice-president and that the secretary and treasurer must be a star boy. Terms of of- fice are for two months and the officers cannot hold office for more than two terms in succession. In the next issue of the Artisan we will tell more about the Explora- tion Club. T. S. Defeats St. Benedicts Saints Unable to Retard Artisan Offense in Friday’s Contest Fighting gamely throughout four quarters of play, St. Benedicts went down to defeat before the Artisans on Ford Field last Friday. Novem- ber 5th, by the score of 25-0. At no time were the Parochials able to gain consistently enough to threaten the T. S. goal. Balsley’s line plunging featured the Artisans’ attack, his consistency enabling him to crash the goal line for four touchdowns. Sayers and Capt. Hughes per- formed great work for the Orange and Black on both offense and de- fense. First Period Marchand kicked to 15 yard line. Storen was stopped on the 20 yard mark. The Saints were stopped for no gain on an end run. Sayers kick- ed to the T. S. 45 yard line, David- son returning the ball to the Paro- chials’ 45 yard line. Three plunges gave T. S. first down. Walek made 9 yards through tackle. T. S. fum- bled on next play and St. Benedict recovered. T. S. held and the Saints kicked to their 40 yard line. Four plays through the line netted T. S. first down. Third down of the next series of plays brought the ball to St. Benedicts’ 25 yard line. Mar- chand dropped back for a field goal, but missed, the Artisans recovering on the Parochial 15 yard line. Three plays gained 10 yards and Balsley tore through guard for eight yards and his first touchdown. Marchand kicked extra point. T. S. 7, St. B. 0. Marchand kicked to 30 yard mark. St. Benedicts returned 5 yards. The Orange and Black lost 10 yards on a fake punt. Quarter ended with ball in Saints’ posses- sion of their own 25 yard mark. Second Period On next play T. S. was penalized 5 yards for offside. St. Benedicts punted to midfield. T. S. then start- ed a series of line-smashing plays by Walek, Pope and Balsley, ter- minating into a second touchdown by Balsley. Marchand failed at the extra point. T. S. 13, St. B. 0. Nagel went in for Walek. St. Benedict took Marchand's kick-off on their 10 yard line to their 20 yard chalk mark. Stein went in for Pope for T. S. On third down Sayers kicked 30 yards. Three plays put the ball on St. Benedicts’ 40. (Continued on Page 4) entire team. Adam Bera, left half- back, gave the crowd a thrill in every game by his spectacular punt- ing, end running, and tackling. Johnnie Broekhuizen, fullback, was Merit System for Explorers

6 October 29, 1926 Sections Continue Intense Fight in Football T Loses to Both Other 1 Rival Teams M Section swamped T 21 to 0 in the game of October 21. M scored early and kept it up through tne entire game. The purple team was not the same team that held M to a tie in the game befor Even if they had played as well as before it is. doubtful if they could have beaten or tied M. The green eleven was not to be denied. They tackled hard, and their running with the ball was a sight for sore eyes. Early in the first quarter Bera, the outstanding halfback of the game, got away for a 20 yard run before he was tackled by Secora. Secora got hurt by this tackle, an i was taken out Brokenhuizen then went over for a touchdown. Bera kicked the extra point. In the second quarter, the ball came to T’s 20 yard line. On the third play, Brokenhuizen went through for a touchdown. They failed to make the point on an end run. T Section made only one first down during the half. Early in the third quarter M Section scored on a fake criss cross. They again failed to make the point. T Section again made a first down. The green and white eleven then punted for the first time. Teichert, fullback of T Sec- tion, sustained a broken ankle on a line plunge. Laslo came back into the game in the last quarter, and the purple team was penalized 15 yards. Laslo had been taken out after the half had started. By this time M was on T’s five yard line. They would have gotten a touchdown, but were penalized 15 yards for tripping. T then got the ball, and tried a punt, which was blocked. T recovered it behind their goal. This counted as a safety, two points. Final score, M 21, T 0. W-T flame W section won from T with a score of 6-0, in an interesting and exciting fotball game at Ford Field Gridiron, on Monday, October 18. In the first quarter T won the toss and defend ad the east goal, with the wind against them. W kicked and T caught the ball on their own 30 yard line and then started with their heavy and suc- cessful line plunges. Teickert was the outstanding line plunger of T and made the most and best gains. When W got the ball a little later —after T had failed to gain their 10 yards—they made up what T had gained and gained on T rapid- ly. When they were on T’s 15 yard line Watt of W caught an excellent pass and scored a touchdown, this being the only one made in the en- tire game. Bucking up after tnis ana getting down to business, T broke thru W’s line easily, almost scoring a touchdown. But when W got the ball they punted anu •being with the wind got the ball to the center of the gridiron. After the first quarter W never got the ball farther than T’s 20 yard line, while T had the ball constantly in W’s territory. Throughout the last three quar- ters it seemed many times that T would score a touchdown, but W always punted to safety. W had to use its utmost force to hold T, for T was aroused and was plajing their hardest. Near the end of the game T was very near W’s 10 yard line ar.d they stayed there until the final whistle. When T lost this game it lost chance for the championship. They can only win the second place if they win their four remaining games and M lose their four, which «eems impossible. ■ iit ■ i i i DETROIT CREAMERY FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS Mr. Bell: “What on earth are y u wearing all those coats for?’’ Mr. Coady: “Well, I’m going to paint my car, and the directions say to get the best results, put on three coats.’' Plymouth Falls to Artisans (Continued from Page 1) ceiving the ball Trade School gain- ed steadily, making a touchdown. They also made extra point. No more goals during the rest of the quarter. Score at end of quarter, 23-0. Third Quarter Several substitutes were made. Plymouth received Trade School’s kick. Rambo, Plymouth’s player, made a run of 45 yards while the ball was Plymouth's. He was knocked out when tackled. They tried to punt on last down, but were blocked.

S. Progress October of this year was the tenth anniversary of our school. Beginning with six boys, we have grown to an enrollment of 1,550 boys at the present writing. Mr. Wilson, now of department N-160, and Mr. Edwards were the first instructors. They were later joined by Mr. Searle, then Mr. Tel- lefer and, when the enrollment reached 45 boys, some few months later, the writer came into the school. Hundreds of our boys wlio have graduated are now in the various Tool Rooms of the Ford Motor Company as Tool and Die Makers. Some of them are foremen, others in the Laboratories. Drafting depart- ment, etc., and just last w’eek we sent two boys out to the Experi- mental Laboratory at Dearborn. Some of our boys are in various Universities, U. of M., Annapolis, U. of D. A short time ago one of our old graduates Varnel Tomkins, now a first class machinist in the Navy, ran across two other of his class- mates in Hong Kong, China. They are also in the service. Owing to the rapid growth of our school in the past few months we are asking the full co-operation of the instructors and older students in assisting us to teach the younger boys safety, cleanliness, thoughtful- ness and accuracy. Read your card. boys, that you received when you enrolled, note what safety means to you. Do not wear long ties, or rings, and have your sleeves rolled up, and good soles on your shoes; do not scuffle or wrestle (do this at the gym) or throw at another boy. Be neat and clean at all times, both with your machine and person, remember that cleanliness and neat- ness make the better man and these, with much thought, will lead to accuracy. Get out in the athletic field during recreation period, put lots of pep into your playing, go into it with the intention of making all the big teams. Keep Mr. Edwards and Mr. Broker busy finding clean sports for you. Do not be backward in asking questions, boys. We, the instruct- ors, are here to answer them. Give us a chance to help you. Let us in on your class and shop troubles no matter how small they may seem. Try to stick Mr. Crawford on a problem. Let Messrs. Murray and Mahoy know what they are here for. All these things will go to make our school a big success. Mr. Ford is back of us; let’s make him doubly proud of the fact that he started the Trade School, and let us not forget the F. M. Co. will be drawing executives from former students of the Henry Ford Trade School year after year. J. F. EBEL1NG. Library Notes Marco Polo, the most famous per- haps of all travelers, was born in Venice, about the year 1250. His father, Nicola, a man of noble rank, was engaged in commerce. He and his brother, Maffeo, went to Con- stantinople on a business trip, then decided to go over into Asia, and finally found their way to Persia. Here they fell in with certain en- voys who had been on a mission from the Great Khan Kublai to his brother in Persia, and by them was persuaded to make the journey to Cathay in their company. And thus the first European travelers of whom we have any knowledge reached China. The brothers returned to Venice and. after about two years, resolved on starting again for the East, tak- ing young Marco with them. The youth entered the service of the Great Kahn, and traveled ex- tensively through China and the neighboring regions. The travelers were finally desirous of return, and were allowed to accompany an em- bassy to Persia. Thence they made their way to Venice. Later Marco commanded a fleet in a war with Genoa, was captured and held a prisoner for two years. At that time he dictated to Rus- tigielo de Pisa the work of travel known as The Book of Marco Polo. Though his narrative made a great sensation, it was for many years regarded as a mass of fabrications and exaggerations. It had an un- doubted effect, however, upon ex- plorations; and later researches have confirmed the truth of many of the author’s descriptions. Recent- ly a magazine published an article proving that at last all his state- ments were found to have been cor- rect. It encouraged the Portuguese to find the way to Hindustan round the Cape of Good Hope, and it aroused the passion for discovery in the breast of Columbus, thus leading to the two greatest of modern dis- coveries. It was long the sole au- thority possessed by Europe on the people of the Far East. There are now' about 60 translations in vari- ous languages. The Library has recently received a new edition of “The Travels of Marco Polo.” One of the Chinese students from the Ford Service School saw the book in the display case and took It home to read. He said he had read it in Chinese and was inter- ested in reading it also in English. Who’d Have Thought It Mr. Scott; When I realize the wonders of radio, it makes me think. Mr. Crowley (absent-mindedly): Yes, isn’t it wonderful what radio can do. OH, PHIL ! ” A Story of Football and School Spirit Editor's Note: This story has been contributed by Mr. Robson, of the Pathfinders of America. Phil was certainly a sight—mud from head to foot, and wet through, but happy—why, he was in the pro- verbial seventh heaven. And why shouldn’t he be; was not his the winning touch-down, and didn’t his best girl see the magnificent play he made that enabled his school to capture the much coveted silver cup? It meant the place of honor at the banquet which wras to follow: the recipient of lusty yells from his class-mates, and after that—well, who knows but perhaps a few well- chosen words of approbation from— yes. she saw the game. The banquet, the superintendent of the school, all instructors, the captain and his victorious team, father and mother, and just the very special friends. Speeches—that is the worst of banquets, for his own part. Phil would much rather play another strenuous game than be in the midst of such a function. He felt rather hungry, too. hut he knew even with all the food that was in front of him, he would only be able to take a nibble of this and that, and when he arrived home, he Would have to make a raid on the pantry to satisfy the inner man. Now they are givfng the cup to the captain of the team; and the cheer leader is on his feet. Guess he didn’t eat much either, or ho wouldn’t be so hungry looking. Phil’s name is mentioned; they want a speech, but what in the world is the matter with his tongue? It won’t leave the roof of his mouth. Oh. for the feel of that old pig-skin right now. anywhere rather than a speech, but it has to be done. He mumbled something, and tried to smile, but it was the same kind of a smile he used when he had to put his last dime into the collection plate. All eyes are now glued on the Superintendent: his. of course, is the main speech of the evening. A man usually of few words, but the few he uses count a whole lot more than the average year’s supply in our National Senate Chamber. He is talking about football: let us hear what he has to say: “THE HONOR OF THE PLAYING FIELD” “Many of the great lessons of life come from the games we play in our youth. The first considera- tion in all games is to lay the foundation for a full and splendid manhood. We should keep as one of the mottoes of our outdoor life, the thought that a noble mind lives in a noble body. “We should play the game for its own sake, never spoiling the spirit of all true games, nor lowering the dignity of all true manhood by playing for profit at the expense of somebody else. “Our games are our own lessons in noble things. The playing field is in truth the High School of Life. It is there we find the great distinc- tive qualities that mark the men of the English-speaking races all over the world. No American boy can be healthy and whole and miss the laws of honor; they ring through every school that is worth the stuff it is built of; they are blazoned on every playing field worth walking on. They are among the oldest things in the world and they will last as long as the human race. We must think of the game and not ourselves. The game is lost in which one member of the team seeks his own glory. The unity of all for a single cause, each playing his part, for the general end is the condition without which no game is ever won. Chivalry, the surren- der of self, obedience to the law that holds the team together, these things grow naturally with every game we play and we should cherish them as a part of ourselves. We should be staunch and loyal and true, our comrades must be able to rely on us. Especially should we be good losers—we should yield the palm with grace and cheerfulness to a victor who has played the game, leaving haggling, grudging and quareling to meaner souls, and not spoiling the temper of a game by claiming doubtful points or in- sisting on little rights. We must not strain the rules of a game so that THROUGH THE KEEPING OF THEM WE BREAK THE SPIRIT OF THEM. We should be willing rather to lose a thousand games than win one by the shadow of unfairness. “The sad side of human life, made up of cunning and intrigue, of seeking selfish ends at any cost to others, of preferring vain glory rather than the achievements of common good, of shutting our hearts to the troubles of others so long as we are prospering, lias no encouragement on the playing field, where only the flower of life, and not the weed, can grow. We must be loyal or the game is lost. We can never be mean enough to with- ; hold applause that rightly belongs to the victor. “The life of the world itself calls « for those qualtties in us which spring from our holding together as a team. If we hold together as a nation as we hold together as a team, we shall give back to the nation a hundred fold the talents entrusted to us. Thus there grows up in most of us with our play that part of our life which makes a difference, as the years go by, be- tween the men who help a nation, and the men who hold back. If we are loyal to our team, we shall be loyal to our city, and to our country.” Deserved continued ap- plause. “Oh, Phil! I am real proud of you you are loyal to your team, you are loyal to your dear parents, to your class-mates, to your dear country, and Phil. I am especially proud of you because you are clean and loyal to me.’ Some Engineer Canadian, to Mr. Bell: The Cana- dians have the best individual road builders in the world. Mt. Bell: Why, the two Americans —Lincoln and Dixie—make wonder- ful roads, but thatblinkety ?! x ! blank Frenchman, Detour, makes ! ? ! • ?♦! terrible roads for us.
