Volume I Henry Ford Trade School. October 8, 1926 Number 1 Boys See Exhibition Foundry Show Held at State Fair Grounds Players Needed Boys who would like to have a part in the plays which are to be ; produced in the Trade School this year should at once get in touch with Winston Leighton of the Exploration club. Three plays are being cast at present. Those who get in early will naturally have first choice. Redford Defeated in First Game of Closely Contested Game Goes to Trade Stonewall Defense Prevents Redford Touchdown Season School— On Thursday and Friday of last week the Trade School boys work- ing in the foundry were taken for a trip to the American Foundrymen’s Association’s 13th annual convention held this year at the State Fair Grounds. The boys spent a very instructive and' interesting afternoon under direction of Mr. Hawkes. They were made acquainted with the various time and labor saving de- vices -iavcntcd or.-perfected during the past year, used in connection with foundry work. Among the interesting exhibits were automatic riddles, molding ma- chines, sand guns, and patented uten- sils used in the foundry. The Osborn Manufacturing Co. had a machine which held particular interest to the boys. This machine riddled the sand and made a new mold every 56 sec- onds. Such speed! Well now, it’s up to our foundry boys to invent some- thing better. Who knows but what the Trade School Foundry twill have an exhibit next year. Exploration Club Guests at Party On September 24 the Exploration Club held a party at Mr. Bratton’s home in North wood. The party was attended by club members and friends. Supper . was served, after which games were played and a few’ musi- cal selections rendered by Mrs. Brat- ton at the piano, accompanied by Ray Weilding on the violin. Sarah Gru- ber also played a few’ popular num- bers on the piano. A good time was had by all and the club looks forward to many such parties in the future. Trade School Boys Hi-Y Visitors at Camp On September 17, Winston Leigh- ton, Eddie Vanasse and Earl Tank, accompanied by Mr. Bratton and Mr. Tripp, Y Director, departed for camp Ohiyesa, on Fish lake, to attend the Hi-Y conference and consider the ad- visability of organizing a club in the Trade School. The boys were hilarious )at the thought of fleeing far away from the maddening throng, out into the great open spaces, where men are men, etc. But when they discovered that they wrere going in the direction of Pontiac a dark suspicion entered Tank’s mind, and he was heard to w’hisper, “Do you suppose they are taking us to Pontiac.” From that time on the uneasiness of the boys grew until it almost became a panic when the car turned into a lane be- yond Pontiac, at the other end of which loomed large red buildings. The asylum!” someone gasped. But just then the car turned and rolled away into the country beyond, and the boys sank back into their seat with a sigh. It was now growing late. From the farm houses the fragrant aroma of hot coffee and ham and eggs filled the nostrils. Here and there was an orchard of inviting fruit and an oc- casional field of mellons. Now and then a plump chicken crossed the road. Big juicy roasting-ears were on every hand. Low murmers, sighs and groans began to be heard from the back seat. Suddenly a timid hand was laid on Mr. Tripp’s arm, and (Continued on Page 2) The Henry Ford Trade School played the Redford High School foot- ball team on Saturday, October 2, and beat them to the score of 3 to 0. The teams were evenly matched, and the game throughout was excit- ing. Each team made sensational plays. The passing and punting w’ere good on both sides. Perham, Trade School quarterback, made the only points in the game, which won the game for us. He was cool and col- lected throughout the game. Nagel kicked no less than 30 yards each time he was called upon. Stein, Ballsley and Nagel were pretty good line-plungers. The cheer leading for the Trade School was effectively taken care of by Libby, one of the best in the; city. He knew when and what kind of cheers to use at the right moment. The line-up for the Trade School was as follows: Ends, Fitzgerald and Marschan; tackles, Winchell and Kopack; guards, Casey and Hos- worth; center, Captain Grose; quar- terback, Perham; halfbacks, Nagel and Stein; fullback, Ballsley. The crowd went wild near the end when Redford was on the Trade School’s two and then one yard lines. The final whistle, however, prevented any scoring they might have done. The game quarter by quarter: First Quarter The first quarter saw more line- plunging and end-running by each team than any other kind of play. They seemed to be feeling each oth- er, finding out what the other could do. At the end of the quarter the score was 0-0. Second Quarter This part of the game had the longest gains for either team. Red- ford had to punt three times to pro- tect themselves from a touchdown. A forward pass by Perham, assisted by Marschan, netted our team 20 yards. Redford rooters went up in the air when one of their players went through our line for a 5-yard gain. Neither team scored in this quar- ter. Third Quarter The Trade School team kicked off. Redford was downed on its 20-yard line. They tried an end run and a line plunge, but it only gained them one yard. Redford then punted 35 yards, but Perham fumbled the ball and an opposing player fell on it. They made 10 yards on an off-tackle play. The Redford team was stopped three times and then tried to kick. But our players got behind the line and rattled the punter so much that he misjudged the ball and it hit the mass of players in front of him. (Continued on Page 4) Orchestra Begins Year’s Activities The Henry Ford Trade School Or- chestra held its first regular rehear- sal in the auditorium, Friday, Sep- tember 24. Thirty-five prospective members were present, but on ac- count of the inexperience of many of the aspirants it will be necessary to cut the number to about eighteen players. According to Director Johnson there is still need of the following players: Flute, E-flat saxaphone, cello, clarinet and banjo. Here is an opportunity for students with fore- sight to improve their musical edu- cation and show their school loyalty at the same time. All boys who are gifted with the ability to play should hearken to the cry of our musical director and help make our Trade School orchestra a success.

2 October 8, 1926 3K CtriiAcvn 3%eCMi afi Official Publication of the Students of the Henry Frod Trade School. Highland Park Mich. Vol. 1. No. I. October 8. 192« Published semi-monthly SI.OO per year Single copie» 7 cent» STAFF James Humberttone. John O’Connell..... Aloysius Mauszewski. Earl Tank Phillip Zoufal ....Circulation Manager Louis Garden The Artisan After many years of contemplat- ing ami dreaming, the students have made the Trade School paper a real- ity. The school has increased in such numbers that such an activity as a school paper should receive the wholehearted support of the stu- dents. We want you to feel that this publication belongs to you. There- fore help it to be a success by read- ing it regularly, by contributing news to its reporters, and by patronizing the dealers who advertise in the pa- per. Our name “The Artisan,” was sug- gested by Frank Berto, the varsity athletics reporter, and was unani- mously selected by the staff as the most appropriate name for a Trade School publication. Heretofore, the city papers referred to the Trade School boys as “toolmakers.” Why not be known as “artisians”? An arti- san is a skilled craftsman, the name not being restricted to any one trade. A toolmaker is one who works at one branch of machine shop science. The Trade School education does not limit us to this, so therefore we feel that Artisan is the ideal name. Let’s have your opinion on your paper’s name. — J. H. Athletic Association The Athletic Association was or ganized to defray varsity expenses during the various seasons, by sup- plying enough money to pay for ex- pert officials to referee or umpire the games played by the team repre- senting the Trade School. The Ath- letic Association also pays for the transportation of our team to the various games away from home. This year the Athletic Associa- tion fee has been reduced to fifty cents. This was made possible by the greater enrollment, jso there is no reason why we cannot have a 100 per cent membership in this associa- tion. Last year ‘W” section led the membership drive with a percentage of 99 4%, so in order to raise this mark the other sections should come through with 100%, as “W” expects to beat its last year’s mark. Look what we get for our fifty cents: We go to all home games and feel that we have taken a part in helping our team. Besides, we get to our basket ball games free, and also get a con- siderable reduction on our excursion tickets to Bob-Lo. What could be better? WE WOJNDER Mr. Hillson—We wonder what beer tap wrenches are used for. We won- der ? ? ? Mr. Coady—We wonder how many flat tires there are in the Trade School 'garage. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder where Jimmie Humber- stone gets his tonsorial work done? and also— We wonder if the boys can play football as well as they can cut hair. We wonder ? ? ! We wonder why the new boys think Searle is a breakfas food. We won- der ? : ? We wonder how long the Detroit News will con.-.iue business after our first issue. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder if it is true that Mr. Crowley gets up at 4 o’clock on Sat- urday mornings so as to have more time to loaf. We wonder ? ? ? Officers Elected The Exploration Club held its monthly meeting on September 14 at which time the officers for the year were elected. Max Schneider was chosen as the new president, George Harris vice- president, A. Mauszewski treasurer. Alex Allie secretary. Trade School Boys Visit Hi-Y Camp (Continued from Page 1) Earl Tank, pop-eyed with excitement, said “If we don’t finish this trip pret- ty soon I believe Vanasse is going to slobber himself to death.” Arriving at camp the boys carried Vanasse into the great dining hall and placed him beside a table loaded with roasting ears, steak, butter, milk and eggs. Taking an ear of com in each hand he fell happily to work. There were also some 50 or 60 other boys in the room, from the 17 or 18 Hi-Y clubs of Detroit, also very busy. Supper over, the group adjourned into the next room, where a great log fire was roaring around which the boys quickly gathered of one accord to snooze. (Outside, the shades of night hail fallen, but not very heav- ily. Overhead, a full moon shown down, its silvery beams dancing away across the rippling lake that lay at the foot of the club house hill. All nature seemed to be saying “Peace be still,” or so it seemed to the weary, overstuffed .lads, drows-l ing around the great friendly fire on the hill. But the boys were told that mess- engers had come from the Trade School who wanted to know what they meant by hi-Y, and what its purpose is. For the next couple of hours they talked of the clean, wholesome fellowship and sports, for body, mind anu soul, they had found in their Hi-Y clubs—organized as Y. M. C. A. clubs in the Detroit High schools. The meeting that night was a boys' meeting, led by boys, who were thinking in a straight line. No one had to tell they were leaders there that night, in the discussion of important moral and social questions of the 'day. At 10 o’clock the meeting adjourn- ed and the boys trailed off along the lake shore to their bunk houses. Her. and there a group broke into song. A few went canoeing. The spirit ol romance hung heavy in the air—and one of the Trade School group was heard to sigh: “Oh, if she were only here.” 'Early next morning the call came “All out for the morning swim.” With sighs of joy each boy immedi- ately leaped from his bunk rushed to the lakeside and plunged within its warm embrace. Conference met again at 9 o’clock and questions raised the night before were assign- et! to various groups for detailed dis- cussion and report back to the gen- eral conference. The conference then divided into the various groups, and discussions followed. The next event of importance was dinner. The afternoon was largely taken up by ball games. The Trade School delegates, assisted by the Eastern High, won their first game in a very spectacular fashion, ending the game with a triple play. After supper conference again con- vened. The committees reported and discussion of the reports followed. Meantime, wood had been prepared for a tremendous bon-fire on the lake shore, and at 8:30 conference ad- journed to that place. The moon was again on hand adding to the beauty of the scene. A fitting ceremony was held and the boys were told of a similar meeting, of an internation- al group, in Europe, recently. A young man who had brought back a brand from that fire then lighted our fire, symbolizing the spread of good will throughout the world. The meet- ing over, the boys again adjourned to their bunks, for the unfinished busi- ness of the night before. The outstanding events of the last day were a talk by the Boy’s State Y secretary, and a big chicken din- ner. At 2:30 P. M. the Trade School boys departed their several ways—j full, but happy. | THE UNKNOWN (By the Green Author) CHAPTER I On a warm summer day in fJune two old men were sitting on a pine log on the top of a wooded hill in the uplands of Kentucky. They were surrounded by the luxurious vegeta- tion which flourishes in the south- ern states during the summer months. The immense plants, green shrubs, towering trees and the glow of the setting sun, form- ed a picture to delight the eyes of an artist. The singing of the brilliantly plumaged birds and the murmur of a distant waterfall all syncronized in a wonderful symphony of melody. The two old men had been hunting, and tired out by the long walk which I hey ,'had taken, had sat down to rest. The valley lay spread out be- fore them; its;farms and the village of Bingville assuming the dimen- sions of toys. As they sat drinking in the beauty of the scene the oldest, whose name w'as “Old Luke,” turned to his friend, Jed Pierson, and remarked: “Pears as somebody’s coming this here way.” Jed looked down in the valley where f.uke was pointing and saw a man on horseback approaching. The two men watched his approach and as he drew closer Jed exclaimed. “Why Lt looks like your boy, Luke.” “Yep, it is,” replied Luke. “He always comes up here to watch the sunset” “He sure is an odd lad,” said Jed. “Did you ever find out who he is?” “Nope, I dunno where he came from. We found him on our door- step sixteen years ago, and he’s been with us ever since. He sure is a good lad. Honest as the dickens and smart as a whip.” As they were talking the boy had been passing below them, and he now began to climb an adjacent hill. He rode his steed like a Centaur, and as his horse was fast and surefooted he reached his destination in a few mo- ments. From the peak of the hill he made his way to the western side. Here the hill ended in a precipice about two hundred feet high, 1 ,and this precipice afforded a magnificent view of the country below. He made a handsome picture as his figure was outlined by the crimson glow of the setting sun. The old men saw the horse suddenly leap as if it had been stung, while a whisp of white smoke ascended from the brush about a hundred yards from the precipice, and to the ears of Jed and Luke came the sharp deport of a rifle. While they watched horror stricken, the horse swayed a moment, and then, as its rider frantically tried to disen- gage his foot from the stirrup, the horse and its rider toppled over the i precipice. 1 (To be continued in next issue)
