December 10, 1926 the unknown By the Green Author SYNOPSIS Young Luke was shot at by a mysterious stranger while standing on a hill in Southern Kentucky. JIc then tumbled over an adjacent precipice and was luckily caught by a jutting tree. He was unconscious when rescued by his foster father and his companion. Luke was car- ried down the trail to the home of “Old Lonesome.” While the boy was sleeping in the cabin the lamp on the table was shattered by a rifle bullet. The rest of the night passed uneventfully, however, and next morning the trio departed to their homes in the village. CHAPTER V The estate of Major Wolfe was a spacious one. It encompassed many acres of fields, hills, valleys, and forests, and it had belonged to the Major's family for many years. The white frame building, which was the home of Major Wolfe, his wife, foster daughter, and a few faithful old servants, was hardly discernible from the highway be- cause of the pines which partially obscured it. The estate had once been a wealthy one, but the poor business management of the Major, and his craving for alcohol, had al- lowed the value of the land and buildings to deteriorate almost to worthlessness. The Major needed money badly but his pride would not allow him to sell his birthright. The Major was gazing moodily over the lawn, his face a picture of worry and discouragement. He realized that he was a failure. The estate which had been his father's pride had fallen into ruins because of his lack of will-power and busi- ness acumen. He transferred his gaze to the flower garden, and his face softened as he watched the figure bending over the bushes and shrubs. The person turned, walked up the gravel path to the back of the house, and then came around the opposite side to the front. The Major had sunk into his revery again when a pair of cool hands were pressed over his eyes. He jumped and irritably turned around to meet a pair of laughing, brown eyes. He tried to maintain a grumpy expression but failed. Laughing, he linked arms with the I girl and led the way into the house for noon-day lunch. The Major was seemingly happy I and gay all through the meal, for under no conditions whatsoever j would he allow it to be known that he was in need of money. Mrs. Wolfe was a small, white- haired, gentle-faced, old lady, who believed implicitly in her husband and his business ability. The fost- er daughter was a tall, beautiful Vrl of perhaps fifteen years of age. She had brown hair, dark brown eyes and regular features. Al- T he Artisan 5 though she did not know it, she was only the Major’s foster daugh- ter. No one knew who her parents were or where she came from. Martha, as she was called, sus- pected that the Major was worry- ing over financial difficulties, but knowing that he would be embar- rassed it she disclosed her suspic- ions, she kept them to herself. After lunch she went for a walk among the trees, searching her mind for a solution to the Major’s worries. While walking she noticed a figure in front of her sitting on a log. When she neared the log she found the figure to be Young Luke. (To be Continued) SALVAGED SCRAP A Block of Land Mr. Crawford: My client is su- ing you for injuries received from a dangerous obstruction on your property. Owner: Why, howr did he get hurt? Mr. Crawford: He fell from an airplane and your land blocked his fall. Listen To The Bed Tick Mr. Ostenfeld: Did you hear j about the murder? Mr. Murray: No? Mr. Ostenfeld: The paper hanger hung a border and when they tried to investigate they found it was only a rumor. Alarming Mr. Ebeling: Which one of these clocks is right? Mr. Edel: I don’t know, we have, five clocks. When we want to know the time, we add them to- gether and divide by five—and even then we are not certain. Right Mr. Ford: Spell Eutectic. Frank Faust: Utet-err. Mr. Ford: Spell the syllables, Eu. Frank: Er-r-uh—Y-o-u. Strange Jimmy: “What’s the matter with my wrist watch?” Mr. Sparks: “It needs cleaning. Jimmy: Cleaning? How can that be? I’ve kept it on my wrist every time I’ve taken a bath.” An employe fell from the fourth floor of a building, but caught the wires as he came down. Another employe ran for a lad- der to get him down, but when he got it the first employe was lying on the ground. And why,” he asked, ‘ didn’t you hold on till I could help you ? The first employe replied, “I was afraid the wire would break.” Tan Him Mr. Overbey: (To inattentive pupils): Is leather an organic or inorganic compound? Hoga: Er—Inorganic. Mr. Overbey: Then give me the chemical name? Hoga: Ox hide of beef. Now We Won’t Even Smile Mr. Bell: What causes laughing? Mr. Hawkcs: A laugh is a pe- culiar contortion of the human countenance, voluntary, super-in- j duced by a concatenation of extern- al circumstances, seen or heard, of a ridiculous, ludicrous, jocose, mirth- ful, fully, facetious of fanciful na- ture and accompanied by a cackle, chuckle, chortle, cachinnation, gig- gle, gurgle, guffaw or roar. First Student: My hither is a fine artist. With one stroke of the ' brush he can turn a laughing face ! nto a sorrowful one. Second Student: So can mine but he uses a stick. | Men’s Wear iGEORGE M.

I The Artisan December 10, 1926 Editors Visit Highland Park High and U. D. Publications On Tuesday, November 2.?, James Humberstone, the editor of The . Irtisan, and John O'Connell, asso- ciate editor, visited the Spectator, which is the school paper of the Highland Park High School. The following Tuesday, November 30, they visited the Varsity News, which is the University of Detroit publica- tion. While at the university they were taken to the U. of D. High School, where they met Jack Britt, editor of the Cub, the U. of D. High (taper, and spent a very profitable hour with him. They then went back to the U. of D. and remained until two o,clock with Mr. J. M. McGarry, who is the university Professor of journalism. The object of these visits was to get information concerning newspaper work from older publications. The Spectator was chosen for a visit be- cause for the last three years it has won the cup award to the best school paper in Michigan by th? Michigan Inteinat cnal Press Asso- ciation. LEAVE OUT THE JOKER Everyone knows the pestilent I “humorist whose delight it is to pass ou.t the explosive cigar, who pulls the chair from ur.d r any un- wary person foolish enough to re- gard him as grown up, and who fleds +he baby pepper-leaded fudg?. This joker is everlastingly in evi dence. Machine shops, power plants, foundries—wherever men work to- gether—know the breed. In in- telligence, the j k: r ranges from the pest who sends the apprentice for lef handed monkey-wrench to the murderous nitwit who s'nours ai a mechanic working in close and dangerous quarters. Were the jckjr a hazard to him- self alone it might be a service to the country to encourage him. He wou d very'likely be less a liability were a crippled body added to his crippled mind. But he is a stand- ing threat of injury to those around him, who are less gifted and iess original, perhaps, but who give their major attention to their Jobs. So there is just one thing for the wise foreman to do with the joker the instant he discovers him, and that is to havo a service-man escort him, as rapidly as practicable, to; the door. (Adapted from Asceyalyne Tips). Perpetual Motion Dodrs are made out of trees, trees; grow out of doors. Beauty Treatment Bill Gipse: Did you ever take the Carlsbad mud-bath treatment? Walek: No. but I played on Fcrd F eld a couple of times. CRITICS COLUMN In helping along the cause of the Artis ah and to fill space in th? critic column, I cannot help but comment on the harmony and good will shown by the instructors of the Trade School. They always seem fo remind me of the 57 Heinz vari- eties. . Perhaps it is because you can mix the 57 all in the same can and still have a fine relish. Thstt Is also an outstanding feature among the instructors. Altho each cne has a different duty to perform, ne wcu'd be useless without the other in the school of this kind. For his reason we are glad they har- monize as they do. But It would not be advisable to mix them in a can unless you had a tight cover and a rubber in between to keep cur heat treat instructor from Fak- ing out. Now that I have picked on Mr. Maeonackie, I will try to smooth things over by saying this for him, that he is a very capable instructor. Small grievances are sure to oc- cur once in a while, and it is an easy matter for one to be misled. For instance, a boy operating Hendy lathe in the gauge depart- ment reported a loose dog on the dutch of his lathe. The instructor had the boy issue an order to have it repaired. Where it reads “Na- ture of trouble,” the boy wrote, “loose dog, please rush,” and as- signed the order to Mr. Adams. The boy finally found Mr. Adams on the second floor quite busy with another machine, although not too busy to resist the. opportunity tJ bawl some one out. After reading the order he hot-footed it up the two flights of stairs three steps at a time, even forgetting that we have elevator service, which is rare for him. He went over to the in- structor and blabted out, “Listen here, Mr. Deitsch. I want you to understand I am running the ma- chine repair and not a dog pound, and if you have any loose dogs around here, send for clearing-house Smith. He gathers up all the loose things around here.” As I happened to overhear th? argument, I proceeded to be the fixer, and explained it to Mr. Adams that even he could under- stand that this dog happened to be a part of the machine, and Mr. Deitsch would likevte have him re- pair it. But he wa£,so; riled up that all he could cfjjake faces and could not ge| hi§ tongue in shape to say anything -, which seldrm hap- pens to - Mr- Dsit?ch. So Mr. Adams apologized and endeavorci o fix the dog. So you see, outside of a few inci-1 dents like this. I am glad to say the instructors get along very nicely together, which means a lot to the Henry Ford Trade School. ’ “Well,' I came, down with flying colors, anyhow,” said Jimmy, the painter, who fell from a scaffold with a pail of pairit in each hand.’ Shop Instructor Goes to Company Tool Room Mr. Howarth Draves, the popu- lat young shop instructor, has left the Trade School to study tool- making methods in the tool-rooms of the Ford Motor Co. He will later return to the Trade School richer in experience and training which he will in turn endeavor to g vc to the student's. Mr. Draves is a graduate of the Trade School and within the last year has been an instructor in the Machine Con- struction Bench, and Milling de- partments. New Lunch Room Formally Opens The opening of the new lunch room was celebrated with a big chicken dinner. Spaghetti a la meate, cake a la mode, aqua milk, ani fruit cock ail were served. Most of the boys had to walk only a short distance to the new lunch room, such as the boys on the mills and lathes and the boys in class having to walk only a quarter of a mile up and the same distance hack. Several of the boys fainted from salvation on the way to th£ lunch room. Several excellent speeches were mad? by some of the most promi1 nerit men. Mr. Sanders' speech was short but snappy. It is con- tained in these few words. “Up this aisle, boys. Hey, you, take this seat. Wa s youh number. Three twenty-eight? Don’t forget to clean this table before you leave.’’ -— - • Bruce’s speech was also sweet. “Hey, put the other apple back. Say, your face is familiar. Isn’t this the third time you’re here in the last five minutes?” If you believe this we’ll tell you some more in the next issue. Faculty Organizes Team Large Turnout Expected The members of the faculty are organizing a basketball team among themselves. This is an effort to spend a part of their wintry nights on a gym floor keeping themselves in fits for the hazards they encounter while dealing with the poor innocents. We wand r if this gym business is just an excuse to get out. Bye the bye, as a matter of information, there is plenty of opportunity for the rest of the athlefc members of the faculty to meet at the Willard School gym at Hamilton and Davi- son. on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Don’t forget your gym shoes. (Don’t forget your dress suit). ALUMNI CORNER The alumni Basketball squad is practicing regularly and appear to be a fast aggregation, one that will give the opponents a busy even- ing. There is still a vacancy on the squad, if you know of a fast player. Keith Davis and Peter Blok were recent visitors and enjoyed a visit thru the school. The Baby Lincolns will be guests of the Varsity football squad at the fifth annual banquet on December 9, 1926. Chuck Dunbar strolled in the other day and said that he had eight months more to do on his Navy enlistment, and said, “Never again.” A1 Brady and friend loaded up their Ford and camped out in the Upper Peninsular on the trail of all wild deer. Good fortune being with them, they both got a buck, Al’s weighing about 125 pounds dressed, which isn’t bad for the first time. They had quite an interesting experience, being snow- ed in, but A1 stated that while the big cars were held in the woods their Ford bucked the drifts and they arrived home with the eany ones. Harry Barkby was promoted and transferred to the experimental tool room at Dearborn. Wilfred Modjeski and Morman Klein have been transferred to the experimental laboratories at Dear- born. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The season of 1926 is about end- ed and the Athletic association is .now offering the 1927-1928 tickets to the students at the reduced price of fifty cents. The Athletic Association tickets more than pay for themselves throughout the year. It permits you to witness all home basketball games, and gives a reduction on your excursion ticket to Bob-Lo on the annual field day. Besides helping to support your varsity team by getting the serv- ives of competent referees and um- pires and paying their traveling expenses it gives you who are rep- resented by the team the feeling that you are doing all in your power to help athletic contests in your school. Buy a ticket. Employer: “The position re- quires a great amount of mechani- cal experience.” Applicant: “I have owned a second hand automobile for two months.” Employer: “Accepted.” Father: “Son, what does this 60 on your report card mean?” Son: “Don’t know, father, un- less it’s the temperature of the room.”

6 Secret Ceremonies Attend Exploration Club Initiation On Friday evening, November 19, the senior members of the Trade School Exploration Club, aided by the club mentor, Mr. Bratton, ini- tiated several of the probationary members. Among the recipients oi some very mysterious hazing were Zoufal, Spaulding, Gourley, and the diminutive L. Sweet. Friday evening was a dark, damp night and the wind howled fitfully about the corners o the school build- ing. Within the auditorium nervously sat a group of boys, each anxiously poring over his instruction sheet for each knew that on the floors above preparations were being made for their discomfort. The minute hand of the clock in the long, silent corridor moved upon the hour of eight, and simultaneously with the click of the functioning mechanism the door of the auditorium swung open. A figure stepped through the doorway, beck- oned to one of the boys and silently led the way up the stairway. The • others waited for their com- panion to return to the auditorium but they waited in vain. One by one they too were led away—up the stair- way toward the mysterious upper chamber—until finally the lower floors were deserted and silent. An hour or two later the boys came scampering down the stairway chat- tering, laughing and seemingly none the worse for the events of the eve- ning. They were joined by the sen- ior members at the exit and the en- tire group then proceeded on their way home. Prominent Instructor Is Sent to Dearborn (Continued from Page 1) ment. He recently graduated with honors. Read what the following men think of him: Mr. Searle, “One of the most persistent boys we ever had in the school, especially in the pursuit of education.” Mr. Ebeling, “In losing Harry w’e are losing a good student and a good instruc'or. He could take criticism and benefit by it.” Mr. Edwards, “Harry was one our best students, he always gave his best.” Mr. Sanders, “Many progressive ideas — applies himself — and is bound to succeed.” Crowley and Day, “Harry is a fine fellow and we’re mighty glad to s«e him getting along because he deserves it.” This is the kind of student the school is proud of and never for- gets. UNDERSTOOD “Your answer is as clear as mud.” “Well, that covers the ground, doesn’t it?” (XrtiScwi December 10, 1926 Instructor Comes Back After Absence in Plant Mr. Anderson, a former Trade School instructor, has returned to the school. Mr. Anderson will be remembered by the older boys as a lair and capable instructor who strived his utmost to impart to the students the best training which was possible for him to give. The youngest students who have re- cently enrolled in the Trade School will soon have an opportunity to learn lathe work under Mr. Ander- son’s supervision. Mr. Anderson had been a Trade School instructor for four years when he was selected to go to the copper-wire making de- partment because of his former ex- perience in wire making. Football Season Ends in Victory at Reading (Continued from Page 1) but lost it on a bad pass. Though there was splendid play neither side scored during the rest of the quarter. At the end of the half, Score:— T. S., 12; Reading, 0. Third Quarter The Artisans kicked off but Read- ing failed to get the ball. Small gains were made by the Trade School. A twenty-yard pass failed. The Ar- tisans punted to the Reading forty yard line and Reading then punted back to their own forty yard line. Large gains brought the Artisans the final touchdown of the game, which was made by Balslcy. Reading made gain after gain at the end of the quarter but not enough for a touch- down. Score:—T. S., 18; Reading, 0. Fourth Quarter Reading failed to gain on first play of quarter. Several substitutions were then made for the Trade School. Steady gains by Reading brought the ball to the six-yard line. Reading was unable to get through for a touchdown and Nagel punted the ball to the Trade School twenty-five yard line.
