Volume I Henry Ford Trade School, October 29. 1926 Number 2 Students See Fordson Plant Ore-Smelting Operations Studied by Class in Metallography The A class as part of their metallography program visited the Fordson plant and followed the purification process of the iron ore into the making of cast iron. Th2y also visited the by-products build- ing and saw the coke ovens. The boys followed the ore from the unloading docks wher? it was taken from th? boats by a Huelot unloader. From there it was con- veyed to the separate bins and then to the loading hoppers where it was weighed and put in definite pro- portions in the skip bucket. This bucket taking the ore, coke and limestone to the top of the Blast Furnace. These charges were then put in the feeding hopper and a the furnace charge diminished th bell spreader would be opened al- lowing the charge to enter the furnace to be reduced to the forma- tion of carbon mon-oxide gas. The boys then entered the furnace house and witnessed a pour. The slag was first drawn off through the slag knotch and taken to the cement factory. The metal entered runways that led it to the ladles. It was then conveyed to the pigging machines where it was poured into molds and cooled. (Continued on Page 5) Future Trips Planned to Study Metallurgy The classes in Metallurgy and Metallography are making their study trips to the Fordson plant. On these trips the boys are en- abled to see at close range the great Blast Furnaces, the coke ovens, the ore docks, methods of handling material, the complet? process of the transformation of iron ore to pig iron. This is followed by a visit to the foundry, where the successive oper- ations are carried on converting pig iron and scrap to castings. Further trips are being planned for the study of the conversion of iron into steel, and the study of the open heat furnaces and the rolling mills.

Th? club first did some experi- menting with soils in room 207 un- til the planting season came, when the club garden was hoed, iaked, lined off, ar.d planted, ihe garden was watched and worked from day to day until the vege- tables were ripe. The boys were allowed 20 cents an hour credit for their work. They were permitted to take as much as they wanted and charged to their accounts. This garden had a very good season and a profit of about 3300 was made on vegetables. The following fall the real work was started on building a club room in the barren attic of the school building. Some of the ma- terial was furnished by the school and the rest by the club. The boys would go' up after school or come on Saturdays and work on the club room, laying the floor, building the walls and ceil- ings, making the tables and other things that can be seen there now. All the actual work was done (by the boys. They then elected officers for the club and drew up a constitution. Adolph Eckert was elected the first president; A. Mauszewski, vice- president; Winston Leighton, secre- tary, and Charles Turner, treasure.-. In the next issue of the Artisan we will tell of purpose and merit system of the club. A mans “ideas” don’t indicate much in his favor unless ha thinks them up himself. Unknown Author Contest Announced This contest is held in connection with the serial story, “The Un- known,” written by a sixteen year old Trade School student. Th? pr.ze, a five dollar gold piece, will be awarded to the boy who guesses the name of the author and who send in the best book report on th? story. The following rules will govern the contest: 1. No member of th? staff of the Artisan is eligiole to enter. 2. All reports must be in not later than one week after the last installment of the story has bee.i published. 3. The instructors of the Eng- lish department will be the judges of the book reports. More Opportunities For Entertainers It is disappointing to notice how eager boys are to be entertained but not to entertain. All boys want to see plays put on for their en- tertainment, but plays are impos- sible without players. Just think what a help dramatics would be to you in the world, you could dramatize your ideas and make them clearer and also develop an imaginative mind which is! necessary for a leader among men. There are opportunities for boys in every section. T section will put on a play to be directed by Max Schneider who played the part of ignorance in the “Enchanted Is- land.” All boy's in T section wish- ing to take part in this play should see Schneider in the Exploration Club room. Plymouth Falls Before Artisans Spectacular Plays Bring Trade School Eleven Easy Victory Plymouth was defeated in an in- terested game by the Henry Ford Trade School, 43 to 0, at Plymouth, October 22, 1926. The Trade School team ran away with the game, but, at that, it was a thrilling game, both to the spectators and players. Many wonderful end runs and line plung- es were featured in the game. First Quarter Plymouth kicked out of bounds. Kopach received second kick, buo gained nothing. After many plays, Trade School, without losing the ball, gained 65 yards for the first touchdown of the game. The extra point was kicked by Marshand. Plymouth received Trade School’s kick without a gain, and whil? the ball was theirs, lost 7 yards. No scoring was done during the re- mainder of the quarter. Score at end of quarter, 7-0. Second Quarter The ball was on Trade School s 10 yard line. In four plays Trade School made another touchdown, but lost extra point. Plymouth kicked to Trade School’s 30 yard line, and after re- (Continued on Page 6) Wool Preparation is Seen on Shop Trips Shop trips are conducted by Mr. R. E.

4 5Ke GMiAcmi October 8, 1926 Red ford Defeated in First Game (Continued from Page 1) A grand mixup resulted, bui as the players fell away it was found that at the bottom of the pile a blue and white player was wrapped around the ball. Nagel cnen made a fine 30-yard punt. The Redford receiv- er was downed in his tracks by win- chell, our six-foot tackle. In the next play Hosworth, Trade School guard was hurt. “Doc” Bla- ney went to his assistance, and he was revived, and joined in the fray once more. Redford puttied again and Perham ran the ball back two yards. A few plays were called and then Nagel kicked. Captain Grose, center, got down the field fast and dropped on the ball, the result of a fumble by the Redford safety man. The whistle sounded and the quar- ter ended, the score still 0-0. The ball was on Bedford’s 30-yard line. Fourth Quarter Perham passed but the play was incomplete. The Trade School gain- ed ithree yards on two line plunges. Nagel punted 35 yards. Redford ran the ball back four yards. They punt- ed and Perham received but gained no ground. Ballsley then went through the line for four yards. Nagel carried the ball in the next play but was hurt. “Doc” to the res- cue with water. Ballsley place-kicked but the ball failed to go over. Red- ford then punted from their one-yard line. Perham ran the ball back four yards. Nagel was stopped on a crossbuck play and Stein gained two yards off guard. Nagel was substituted by Sleep. Redford also put in a sub. Perham then put the crowd in an uproar when he place-kicked squarely be- tween the bars, scoring three points. Ballsley was then taken out and Da- vidson put in his place. The Trade School kicked off and the ball was run back five yards. Sleep knocked down a Redford pass in a business-like manner. Redford got off for a long end run which netted them 15 yards before being finally downed by Davidson. Perham intercepted a pass and ran it back three yards. Sleep made one yard off tackle, but was stopped on the next play. Pope then took Stein’s place in the backfield. He punted, but the ball went too high to go far and they only gained 15 yards. The Trade School dropped on the ball. Pope made one yard on an off tackle play. Redford got the ball and completed two forward passes which placed them on the Trade School’s two-yard line. They tried a line buck which put them one yard from our touch- down line. Another line plunge was met by a reinforced concrete wall, a wall which only “Artisans” can build. The whistle was heard above the shouting of the rooters and the game ended with a score of 3 to 0 in fav- or of the Henry Ford Trade School. Friday Entertainments With the view of furnishing whole- some entertainment in Friday Audi- torium periods, the Dramatic Club was organized by Mr. Bratton at the beginning of this term. The great success of the production “The En- chanted Island” given by the Explor- ation Club boys last spring at the Bonstelle Playhouse, ’s proof enough of the real talent possessed by the students of the Trade School. The Dramatic Club will under- take stage productions equal if not superior to “The Enchanted Island,” as well as contribute weekly enter- tainments to the school auditorium programs. Thus its purpose will be two-fold, and the amusements fur- nished the student body week by w'eek will serve the purpose of giv- ing the actors experience and skill for the greater outside perform- ances. The school as a whole will profit greatly by the activities of the club. Some novel sort of clean, wholesome entertainment was long felt to have been the need of the Friday periods. There is no more suitable time dur- ing the class week for providing stu- dent expression of school spirit than these periods. The entertainments proposed will supply this need in an ideal way. One of the first plays to be pro- duced wiu be a one-act comedy en- titled “The Coontowm Thirteen Club,” whose rehearsal and production will be managed by Charles Turner, who will be remembered as one of the leading actors of “The Enchanted Island.” New stage equipment will be provided in the near future. To have entertainment it is of course necessary to have entertain- ers. There is room in the club for additional talent, and also opportu- nity for the development of talent not yet apparent. Boys ambitious to participate should see Mr. Bratton any evening at 4 p. m. on the fourth floor. Pathfinders Active With the opening of the school year the Pathfinders have begun their third year of teaching in the Trade School. The student body, as a whole, is very glad to welcome Mr. Robson and Mr. Crecelius, the Pathfinder instruc- tors, on their return, because of the interest they arouse in the w’ork. Mr. Bittikofer, who was also with us last year, has been transferred to Cleve- land. Advanced instruction has been in- augurated for the A and B classes. C, D and E classes have the prepara- tory work as formerly.

Some college professors feel that the academic features are made to suffer, ami many student bodies who have expressed them- selves have declared firmly that the great interest that has built stad iums where thousands might see such encounters is harmful. In fact there is a movement for fewer star players and more students taking part, with less—much less—public interest. Interest and participation in sports of various kinds grows every year. Big stadiums are being built to witness contests, and the skill of the players participating is de- veloped to the highest degree. With the increased interest is 'bom a keener sense of good sportsman- ship, which is the chief reason why educational institutions devote so much of their thought and energy to the promotion and supervision of spyrts. What is this good sports- manship? The Code of the Mis- souri Public Schools declares that a Good Sportsman. . . . 1. Does not misrepresent his eligibility. 2. Will avoid unnecessary rough- ness that might injure an opponent. 3. Plays fair at all times. 4. Plays his best to the end whether he is winning or losing. 5. Plays for the fun of playing and the success of his team. 6. Regards visiting contestants as guests and treats them accord- ingly. 7. Is courteous to officials, ac- cepts adverse decisions graciously and expects them to enforce the rules. The Artisan 8. Congratulates the winners, gives them full credit, does not ex- plain or make excuses. 9. Is modest in victory; does not brag or “rub it in.” 10. Observes training rules and seeks in all ways to represent his school worthily. 11. Among his fellows is fair, courteous and determined. Above all he is a gentleman. Faculty Support The interest of the faculty in our school paper was shown when 90 per cent of the entire staff of in- structors subscribed to the Artisan before the first issue appeared. The class instructors responded practically 100 per cent. The list was headed by an unusually large signature which no doubt you have seen at one time or another, Colin C. Crawford. Next came Mr. Searle's name, followed by the class instructors. Across the bridge Mr. Harris started the ball rolling with his subscription. Mr. Smith proposed that the yearly subscription be paid on the installment plan, 10c down and 10c a week. However, he was con- vinced that it was more advisable to pay the dollar in advance After paying for his subscrip- tion, Mr. Maconchie stated that it is pretty hard to get a dollar from a Scotchman, so it seems that a year’s subscription to the Artisan is a good buy. Opportunities The growth of industry has de- veloped a great complexity in the (.peration of manufacturing estab- lishments. These modern develop- ments have created the need for especially trained men of broad education to control and direct such operations to the best advant- age. Not only do they call for a basic technological training in the sciences upon which these opera- tions rest but also, and particularly, for an understanding of the finan- cial, economic, and human problems which are all-important. Men are required who understand what problems arise in industrial operations and who have been es- pecially educated in the sciences and technique which underlie their solution. These men differ from those engineers who must deal more with the design and research requirements of industry and whose training is provided for in the older and more common form of en- gineering courses. As their practi- cal experience accumulates such men will find positions of varying degrees of responsibility, depend- ing upon their capacity for leader- ship, from that of minor assistant to a more responsible executive, up to the ultimate direction and con- trol of the enterprise as a whole. Are you working for these ends , or you letting the opportunities • you have here pass by. Loyalty Every fellow knows what loyalty is, or if he doesn’t he’d better step right off the front porch and hunt him up an education on that point. Loyalty is like good health —you can’t have too much of it, nor too many varieties. And there are such a great many varieties. There is loyalty to your country. There is loyalty to your family. There is loalty to your friends. There is loyalty to yourself. And there are more kinds of loyalty, if you want to go and nose them Everybody admires loyalty, and rightly. Even history admires it, and the ancient loyalty of Damon and Pythias is one of the finest things that ever happened in the world. Even folks who haven't loyalty seem to admire it in others. I| is such a splendid thing that even people who stand outside the law and are looked upon as being very wicked hold loyalty a virtue. It seems as if some folks wh : haven’t any other virtue at all find it necessary to hold to loyalty, and that makes it look pretty import- ant, doesn’t it? Loyalty is a sort of mortar hold- ing together the bricks and stones that make up the edifice of life. If it were not for it, the whole build- ing would come tumbling down, and there we would be up to our necks in rubbish. Loyalty and selfishness will not ride in the same wagon. They arc not on speaking terms. If you are the sort of fellow who is always cut for himself, you want to stay as far away from loyalty as you can because it will cramp your style. A little bit of loyalty has ruined any number of men who have set out to establish a record for selfishness. The thing to do is to take your pick. If you want to be the sort who always plays his own game and works for his own advantage and never cares a rap for what happens to anybody else —then see to it that you eliminate every scrap of loyalty in your system. If, on the other hand, you want to be the sort other men tie to, then reduce your selfishness to as small a pimple as you can. In any event there will be some selfishness left. We can’it get away from it. Probably a tincture of selfishness is necessary. So is a tincture of vanilla necessary in ice cream, but if you pour in the whole bottle you make a pretty bit- ter dish. In this world every fel- low must do a certain amount of looking out for his own interests. Or, at least, we have grown to think it necessary. But the man who was most loved of all the men we ever knew of was one who seemed to have no idea at all of getting things for himself. Hi never got rich, and mostly he was pretty poor—if you don’t count as an asset the fact that every man or woman he ever came in contact with loved him. Ybu can’t b» genuinely poor when people feel that way about you. WE WONDER We wonder if Mr. Washington ever drew flies. We wonder ? ? ? We wonder how long the “Free Press” will continue to carry the slogan, “Michigan’s Greatest News- paper.” We wonder ? ? ? Mr. Hawkes—We wonder how much halitosis there is in a bushel of onions.
