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.

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.

Volume I Henry Ford Trade School, December 24, 1926 Number 6 Section Team Get Sweaters Champs Make Colorful Showing in Kelly Green and White M section football squad, win- ning the championship, received the honor of attending the annual ban- quet held on December 9, 1926. The T and W sections football men do- mesticated themselves and served a good meal to those who attended the banquet. The M section champs for 1926 decided to purchase sweaters. The colors of the team being kelly green and white, they therefore decided that the sweaters would be of the same colors. They received their green sweaters with white trimmings in time to wear them at the ban- quet. The entire M section squad was present in fighting colors. They enjoyed the banquet very much and it is hoped that the cream of the section team will be present at the banquet as members of the varsity squad of 1927.

Quintet Score 18-16 Basketball Season Opens With Victory For Artisans Orchestra Program Features Soloists On Friday, December 17, the Henry Ford Trade School Orches- tra gave an excellent program in the school auditorium. M section was the recipient of the orchestra’s tal- ent and enjoyed the program im- mensely if the amount of applause the orchestra received indicated the audience’s enthusiasm. The orchestra first presented a few classical selections. Then Mr. Ballard and Mr. and Mrs. Glasslep also rendered a few selections, Mr. Ballard and Mr. Glassley playing violins with Mrs. Glassley accom- panying them at the piano. Mr. Glassley then played a few classical selections on a saxaphonc, accom- panied by Mrs. Glassley at the piano Earl Tank, a member of the or- chestra, rendered a solo at the piano. He played the selection very well and was generously applauded by the students. ► The orchestra then played the (Continued on Page 6) eyes For the first game of the basket hall season the Henry Ford Trade School invaded the High School of Commerce gym on Thursday after- noon of December 16, and emerged with an 18 to 16 victory. Commerce, with Capt. Schwartz in the lead, showed the way in scor- ing with four points for the losers by the long tom route. Frankow- ski cut this considerably by hooping in a field goal and then followed it up with a successful free throw. From this point on the 'Trade School went into the lead and kept it. The halt ended with the Ar- tisans holding a three point lead. In the second halt the winners added enough points iu the third quarter to give them a lead of six points hut this was reduced when Commerce registered their only earned basket by going through Trade School’s defense, and sinking a long one from the center of the floor that took the crowd out of their seats. The last part of the third quar- ter and the beginning of the fourth found Bcnko, who had replaced Frankowski, shaking off his man for necessary points to keep his team in the lead. (Continued on Page .3) Banquet Held By Varsity Many Prominent Guests at Annual Affair of Team Class King Chosen By Seniors of 27 The representatives of the senior class of this year met Wednesday December 15 in room 504 to choose the class ring for the year of 1927. A very appropriate design was chosen. It has a fine mannish ap- pearance with the old English scrip “F” on it. The seniors look forward with anticipation to the month of Feb- ruary’ when they will receive these rings and graduate from the aca- demic work with all the glory’ of the scholar. Annual Holiday Party Held by Club The Exploration Club enjoyed its second annual Christmas party on December 22, 1926. This party is a stag affair. The. members usually’ tell stories and discuss the various things that oc- curred in the past y’car. Then the usual question will he asked. “Where will wc he .this time next’ year?” The club has at last received its radio cabinet from the woodshop, and has fitted a three-tube set and , loudspeaker into it. Thus the club members may enjoy radio music at their spare moments. The annual football banquet, held in the new school dining room, November 9. 1926, was a huge suc- cess. About 175 persons attended, including the Baby Lincolns,” “M” section football champs, and the instructors. The section player? served as waiters. After the completion of the din- ner, Mr. Eheling, the toastmaster, opened the ceremonies by a short talk on the growth of the school in the past year. Mr. Searle, the first speaker of the evening, spoke about our school, the largest and best of its kind. He mentioned that people arc looking to this school for edu- cational methods. Plans are now under way to start a branch at F'ordson and 150 boys are to he en- rolled as soon as possible. Coach Broker, the next speaker, gave a short talk on the team. He spoke of the team’s need for hack- ing by the instructors and the stu- dent body. He said that the suc- cess of the team was due to the team-work and co-operation of everyone on the squad. The next speaker was Captain Grose of 26. He thanked the squad for putting their confidence in him during the past season, and for their support during the strenuous football campaign. Captain Joe Walek of ’27 fol- lowed, expressing his appreciation to the fellows for conferring the honor of captain upon him. Mr. Adams then gave a short talk. He asked Mr. Hollis about the missing locks on his head. Mr. Hollis wouldn’t explain, so Mr. Adams told the story.
