(Leii cwi November 26, 1926 FOUNDRY NOTES To most of the boys the sand in the foundry is just plain sand. They do not realize that because of its importance this sand must be care- fully selected, and to do this, much experience is required. The mould- ing sand used conies chiefly from along lakes and rivers, the princi- pal sources being Albany, New York, Hudson River, Sandusky, Ohio, and Ottawa, Canada. Moulding sand must possess cer- tain properties. When properly moistened and rammed it must be cohesive enough to withstand hand- ling. It must be tough enougt to allow the metal to run over it and not cut it, also refractory enough to withstand the heat of melted cast iron, 2500 degrees F. It must also be porous enough to allow gases and steam to escape. A good sand will bake a little under heat. Moulding sand should consist of from 80 to 90 per cent silica (SiOz), 10 to 20 per cent of clay, with a small amount of lime, magnesia and metallic oxide. Sand should be spread out and sprinkled so that the moisture will penetrate evenly through the sand. Mixing the sand with shovel or machinery unifies the moisture and tends to equalize any difference in sand quality. The hand test is the oftenest used, and a foundry man can tell very well the fitness of the sand by the way it leaves the fingers and 6ticks together. Sand weakens by daily use. The clay or binder burns out. Good sand should have sharp edge grains, but these become rounded by use, causing poor co- hesion. New sand added to worn out sand rejuvenates it and makes it fit for continued use; in fact, old sand maintained in this way makes better and smoother castings than new sand. There is no essential difference in the sand used for brass and iron moulding. For-steel, the silica con- tent must be higher. It should be about 98 per cent in order for the 6and to be refractory enough to resist the intense heat of the metal. The smoothness of the casting depends largely upon the size of the grain of sand used. A smaller grain sand is used for finer work. Core sand is selected the same as moulding sand. The composi- tion of the core sand used in our foundry is 30 qts. of lake sand, 30 qts. of river sand, 1 qt of linseed oil, which acts as binder, and V 2 qts. of cordex. AN AWFUL THOUGHT When the golden sun is sinking And my mind from care is free, Comes a thought that sets me think- ing Of tomorrow’s geometry. ERVIN POPE. Tool Exhibition Shown Students in Shop Talks Dept. Interesting Micrometer Gauges Among Starrett Tools An exhibition of Starrett tools has been received by the Henry Ford Trade School, and is now being shown in the Shop Talks depart- ment. Some of the more interesting of the tools on exhibit are the United States Micrometer Caliper Gauges, which were designed to meet the requirements of the government. A queer tool in the display is the Inspectors Micrometer Caliper Gauge. Among other interesting tools or devices are the Toolmakers Buttons, used for jig and die work, and a pin vise which may hold a victrola needle and is used as a scriber. The Trade School is very thank- ful to Mr. Findlay and Mr. Leidey, the representatives of the Starrett Company, who gave us the oppor- tunity to display these tools. The Trade School, at various times, has also displayed Brown and Sharpe, Lufkin, and Slocum tools. iiimiii ystematic aving pells uccess You will appreciate these words a few years from now.

November 26, 1926 The Artisan 5 Exploration of Life is Purpose of Club's Activities In the last issue we told you of ihc merit system of the Exploration Club. We will now tell about its activities. The purpose of the Exploration Club i' t« explore life, to set our goal and to make a plan so that we niay be able tv attain our goal. The dub enters into sports, indoor games, dramatics, and various lines of school activities. The boys do woodwork and plaster work, such as making pictures, jewel boxes, and table lamps. One of the latest things the club has undertaken is dramatics. In the later part of 1925 Mr. Bratton wrote the play “The Enchanted Isle”. The boys immed- iately started practising on it. They secured the help of Miss Bonstcllc and her staff in putting on the play. The play was put on at the Bon- stcllc playhouse with much success. Through the above and other activities the club is helping to make a bigger and better school and create a better understanding with the faculty. The requirements for mem- bership arc that a boy must be between the ages of 14 and 17, and have an average of “B” in hi9 school work. A new member is required to stay on probation for two months, after which time, if he has proven himself satisfactory, he is voted in, and given the first degree. The Club has four degrees (and we will remark that there is no play in them). Any boy who thinks he can fill the above requirements is invited to join. Call is Sounded for Basket Ball Players Mr. Crawford, and his assistants, Mr. Cragg and Mr. Shafer, are still urging fellows to report for basket ball practice. Boys that have had any or no experience are requested to attend practice in the Ford School gym. More real live players are needed to come out and build a real team. The coach wants the older fel- lows to report for practice. There is no position on the quintet cinched, so everybody has as good a chance as the other. They are having light practice now and will gradually work up to harder. So everybody come out for practice at the Ford gym from 4 to 6 each night. Show your school spirit by telling others to report. This $7 fountain pen you sold me for 99 cents leaks. Ah, yes, you need one of our pat- ented rubber writing gloves. 35 cents, please. SALVAGED SCRAP So’s Our Team Referee: (Blowing whistle). “Foul.” Spectator: “Where are the feathers?” Referee: “Ain’t any, this is a picked team.” Paternal Style “Now, my little man,” said the barber to a youngster in the bar- ber's chair, “how do you want your hair cut?” “With a hole in the top, like dad’s,” was the reply. Origin of Words “How did there come to be so many words in the world?” asked little Lola, who was turning the leaves of a dictionary. “Oh,” replied her thirteen year old brother, “they came through folks quarreling. One word brought on another.” Only On “What are the three rules of success?” “Three? There’s only one.” “What is it?” “Make good.” Customer: “You’re sure one bot- tle will cure a cold?” Assistant: “It must do, sir—no- body's ever come back for a sec- ond.” Cartoonist Contest (Continued from Page 1) These comics may be in the form of a strip or on just a single plate and to be put on a certain grade of paper furnished by the Artisan available at the school store at some date in the near future. This contest will be conducted by a professional cartoonist now em- ployed in the photographic depart- ment. or by an editor of the “Ar- tisan” and he will judge the comics for originality, hqmor, quality of suggestiveness and other desirable qualities in a comic strip or plate. A very important item must be kept in mind, i. e., the cartoons must be turned in one week prior to publication. Of course, last but not least is the subjects of awards given by the “Artisan” for the three best cartoons. Cash prizes are as follows: 1st prize $5.00 2nd prize ........... 3.00 3rd prize ............ 2.00 This editorial is merely a warn- ing and an invitation to the stud- ent body to share the honors of the editorial staff and we hope the re- sponse of the Artisans to this plea will he a great one so that the school paper will be able to offer a ‘‘big kick” in this line of work. There will be more regarding this subject in the next issue so in the mean time “jar” your memory for some funny incident or dust off your imagination, whet down the old graphite and show the organization what you, as an individual can do. Remember the pen is mightier than the sword. •■i itiiiti:iiiiaiiaiiaiiiiiiiia iiiiaiiiiia!iiiiaiiaiii!iit( itiniiii' iiiii i a i um i m i ian:iii h i '■ • ■ ■n I Ford Trade School 1 1 Students m | A discount on all athletic | goods a» well as tools you § a may need if you are a stud- = 2 ent of the Trade School. - | Just get a card from your g f Mr. Edwards. ; I LARGEST ATHLETIC OUT-1 I FITTERS IN THE STATE.- i ALSO A COMPLETE LINE OF’ I MECHANICS TOOLS. 1 lam!Tereu I 335 Gratiot Are.

Volume I Number 5 P R O M O T E D HARRY BARKLEY Popular Instructor Transferred to Dearborn Trade School Graduate Has Enviable Record of Promotions Harry Barkley has left the Trade School to take charge of the ex- perimental department’s tool room, at Dearborn. Harry came to the school in 1918, and was 14 years old at the time. From the very first it seemed that he had caught the spark of am- bition, because he received good marks in all his subjects. In 1922 he graduated, and his merits being recognized, he was made an in- spector in the shop. However Har- ry was not satisfied to get stuck on one machine. He insisted on being moved around from one de- partment to another, and in that way became very adept at all branches of tool making. Follow- ing are the departments in which Harry has .bean an instructor: Ma- chine Construction, Lathe, Shaper and Grinder. Not satisfied with his duties in the shop, Mr. Barkley took a four year night school course consisting of business and factory manage- (Continued on Page 6) Henry Ford Trade School, December 10. 1926 New Artisan Office The, Artisan has moved into its private home way up in the world: directly at the head of the North stairway, on the fourth floor, of the school building. We hereby extend a hearty welcome to all the students, to come any after- noon after school and get acquainted with the staff and the location of the office, so that at any time you have any news, comments, personal anec- dotes or criticisms you will know whom to give them to. In this way the students co-operating with the staff of the publication will cause a vast improvement in the kind of ma- terial you would like to read in your paper. For your convenience a contribu- tion box has been put in a conven- ient place.in the study hall so that at any time you have any jokes, sayings, poems, or news to contribute to your paper you can put them in this box. Basketball Season Opens With Call for More Star Players Hurry up, fellows, report for practice! Coach Crawford cut the basket-ball squad down to thirty men on December 6, 1926. The average turnout each night before was sixty. If you are a player of more than ordinary ability, report, —it’s not too late. The present candidates have plenty of pep, but pep alone will not win games. They need some shining stars to follow. The hopes of the team are very bright. Combine them with hard work and you have a very promis- ing future. A few football men are expected to report as soon as they recuper- ate from their strenuous and suc- cessful season. Season Ends With Victory Reading High Outclassed by Artisan Warriors on Thanksgiving On Thanksgiving Day the Henry Ford Trade School defeated Reading High School by a score of 18-0 in an exciting game of football at Read- ing. Michigan. Wonderful playing was displayed by both teams during the game. Steady gains were made by the Artisans in whose possession the ball was kept most of the time. Read- ing tried desperately to make a touch- down in the last quarter of the game, but was unsuccessful. First Quarter Capt. Stanfield won the toss and chose to defend the west goal. Mar- chand then kicked off for the Arti- sans. Reading received the ball but made no gain. A punt by Stanfield was caught by Nagel, but the Trade School was unable to make a gain on it. Nagel then punted to Stanfield, after which Reading gained steadily but finally had to give up the b’ll The Artisans then made several large gains and Balslcy went through for the first touchdown of the game. Reading caught the hall on their thirty-yard line and returned ten yards. Casey recovered a Reading fumble as the quarter ended. Score: T. S., 6; Reading, 0. Second Quarter Steady gains were made by the Artisans at the beginning of this quarter, but an incompleted pass and a penalty cost them quite a bit. Read- ing was unable to gain and punted. Behind splendid interference, Pope made a thirty yard run for touch- down. Reading then received the ball (Continuel on Page 6) Rales for Cartoon Contest As announced in th e last issue, boy cartoonists now have a chance to be- come rich by winning prizes in a con- test which is open to all Trade School boys. The following rules must be ob- served : 1. All drawings must be in not later than Friday, December 17th. 2. They must be drawn with India ink on a high grade of paper supplied by the Artisan. Cash prizes offered are: 1st prize .................$5.00 2nd prize .................$3.00 3rd prize..................$2.00 The cartoons may suggest some humorous incident connected with the school or an original idea suggesting something educational or a personal funny strip of a series of events con- cerning Trade School happenings, etc. Let your conscience be your guide. JOSEPH WALEK Next Year’s Captain Deserves Honor of Team Walek's Election Creates Great Enthusiasm On December 2, the varsity foot- ball squad of 1926 gathered for the purpose of electing a new captain. Bill Grose, the 1926 Varsity captain passed over his leadership to Joe VValek. Walek has been a brilliant player the entire season and certainly . deserves the honor which his team- mates have bestowed upon him. We regret the passing of Bill Grose from the Varsity line-up, for his wonderful playing ability, aided tby his unfailing cheerfulness, helped Coach Broker build a team which worked as a team and not as eleven individuals. The prospects of next year’s eleven is still unknown, but it is hoped that the Varsity men who have another year on the team aided by the material from the various sections will uphold the school’s record of producing a good team. Walek was captain of the MT’’ section team last year and has proved himself a very capable lead- ex on the gridiron.
