Emphasis has been on work skilfully and quick- ly done, on new methods, on new things. Today some of this skill is yours. Skill alone makes you part of a material ma- chine, bringing something of comfort, a little lux- ury, perhaps envious admiration. Such success is only an empty shell, mocking in time of trouble, unless you have built for yourself a solid founda- tion in character, radiating to others comradeship and courage. A better civilization will appear only if your generation has such qualities in gen- erous measure. May you fare on bravely, knowing the way is hard, ready to pay the price, impatient to blaze new trail8, that another generation may have a better heritage than yours.

SUPPORT OUR TEAMS The boys that play basketball would much rather play before spectators them empty seats. The teams would improve, and the games would be faster and more spirited if they knew there were some spectators from their class in the bal- cony rooting for them. You boys who do not play can surely find an hour after school, at least once a week, to come out and watch a clean, hard fought game of basketball. FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1936 STUDENTS VISIT MUNICIPAL COURTS On December 27, 1935, Mr. Robert E. Bell, Civics instructor, and Mr. Ben. A. Kazyaka accompanied 30 Trade School stu- dents to the Municipal Court Buildings and through the County Jail. In the Recorder's Court of Judge Scallen the students witnessed an as- sault and battery charge and a disturb- ing the peace trial. The former trial was very short in duration as the de- fendant was found to be guilty in short order, but the latter trial was more in- teresting and longer. During the proceedings Judge Scallen declared a recess and took the Trade School students into a side room to ex- plain the trial, the method of sellect- ing a Jury, and the reason for his act- ing as a judge and a jury. He also an- swered several questions. Following this, court was again re- sumed and the trial proceeded. Again witnesses were called to testify and an- swer the questions of both the defending counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The Judge declared another recess during which the boys had a light lunch. Then they went to see the County Jail. In the County Jail they were taken to the cell blocks, dungeons, tunnel, photographing room, chapel, finger printing room, bull pen, and kitchen. HARMONIZERS SING FOR P. T. A. The Harmonizers, the popular group of singing instructors under the direc- tion of Mr. Fred Nicholson, sang at two. Parent Teachers' Association meetings last week. On Monday night January 13._ they sang at the Benjamin Franklin School, Royal Oak, where Mr. Keith Glassley is father vice president. The following night The Harmonizers sang at the Norris School, Wayne, where Mrs. 0. L. Rothbone is president. -----0----- Employer to applicant for Job: I can't use you. We don't need much help.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1956 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE CRAFTSMAN ON WAY TO CHAMPIONSHIP The Craftsman , a basket ball team representing the Henry Ford Trade School seems to be heading for recognition as one of the strongest teams entered in the«Junior Recreation League of Detroit. This team, organized by Mr. Veraie F. Richards, has captured its first five games. The following boys are members of this team: George Dull, Captain, Norman Petrak, Frank Mugerdichian, Peter Quinn, Maurice Fazlollah, Jack Reuteur, Leonard Ryan, Exilo Petovello, Isaiah Petovello, Lawrence Chida, Steve Vigh, and Hilton Robinson. Saturday's game was won by a narrow margin. With two minutes to play, the Kronk team began to stall. They held the ball for one and a half minutes. Then unexpectedly, George Dull inter- cepted a pass, dribbled down the floor, made a dog-shot putting The Craftsman team in the lead. Final score 32-31. All games are played at the Kronk Community House at McGraw and Junction, Detroit. TRADE SCHOOL GRADUATE GAINS PROMINENCE IN RING Edwin Waling, a Trade School gradu- ate, car be pointed to with a great deal of pride because of his marked progress in the fistic world. While attending the Trade School, he won three Golden Glove Championships; two as a lightweight and one as a feather- weight, also winning the International Championship in the latter class. He turned pr6 in November 1934, and has a perfect rec- ord winning all of his 17 bouts, 11 by the K. 0. route. He is rapidly gaining popularity in Chicago, where he has fought his last 5 fights, winning 4 by K. O.'s .

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1936 a - TIDBITS Joe Louis taught Ferdinand. Longpre of the T-G-l class how to play marbles. Louis Warnik of the M-G-l class spent his Christmas vacation in St. Louis, Missouri visiting friends. Harold McRay estimated that he gathered 1000 cakes of chewing gum from under the dining roam tables. John Zimmer and Chester Kalb are the only boys of the graduating class who have not missed a day of school or been tardy since they entered the Trade School in the F-class. The Old English lettering on The Craftsman was done by Edward Victor un- der the Direction of Mr. Erick R. H. Walthausen, of the Trade School Drafting Department. Two Trade School boys, Steve Sintay and Jack Mulvihill have been given three auditions for the Fox Amateur Hour. They got the gong each time. OUTSTANDING GRADUATION PARTY PLANNED The graduation par y which is to be held at the Tassie Tavern January 31 has met with popular acclaim throughout the school. Many Trade School officials and instructors will be present. At the time of publication the dance committee was negotiating for the services of The Harmonizers. Hurry boys I If you plan to get in on the fun, there are only a few tickets left. See Mr. B. C. Brewen for further particulars. SAYINGS OF TEE NOT-YET GREAT D. J. Morrisey--Quietly is an ad- verb and doesn't express action Roy Yerex--It's Just one continuous round of pleasure and fun. V. F. Richards--Hey! Big boy. ■ • • • • ■ • THE ALUMNI ■ •■ • • • ■ ■ EARL TANK '21 It has always been of great interest to the student body to know what has be- come of the former graduates. The A and E classes upon visiting Greenfield Village this past week had the opportuni- ty to see what has became of many of them. While being taken through the vil- lage, the students visited the Martha Mary Chapel and heard many beautiful se- lections played on the organ. The organ- ist, Earl Tank, is one of the former stu- dents of the Trade School. In 1926 Mr. Tank was appointed busi- ness manager of The Artisan . He held that position until the paper was discon- tinued. While yet a Trade School student he acted as an instructor of English and was given this position after he was graduated. As he always was a great lover of music, he gave up his teaching position to become organist in the chapel. WASP TAUGHT MAN PAPER-MAKING Paper was first made by the highly evolved insect, the wasp. Millions of years ago the wasp solved the problem of paper-making and man today uses practi- cally the same method. Pieces of wood are ground and moistened to form a pulp which is then rolled into thin sheets. The wasp made paper by chewing bits of wood, wetting these with saliva and pressing out the pulp to form the cham- bers in which her eggs are placed. Modern science has improved on the first principle of the wasp. Rapid ad- vances have been made recently under the eye of the microscope. These advances have resulted in the making of imcambus- tible paper from asbestos and an indeli- ble check paper which has the fine ad- vantage of resisting any attempt to ef- face the writing on it. In addition to the many common uses of paper, it is also used for collars, cuffs, boats, pipes, tanks for water, barrels, vases, wheels for railway cars, and huts in the backwoods of America. 19)3 S’tudtni (Of 1tW p� Vah £tthc J ffioU yfgbruaru, 14,195 5 ££ .3 CARVING WINNERS ANNOUNCED NE W COMPE T T ON PL A NN ED The boy8 of the G Claes recently participated in a soap carving contest, sponsored by Mr. E. H. Stoelting. The contest ended Friday, January 31, 1936. The winners and winning models are: George Paraska, polar bear; Ralph Morgan, bust of Mark Twain; Joe Sellers, model of the U. S. S. Oregon; and Herbert Lewis, bust of Woodrow Wilson. Mr. F. E. Searle, Mr. G. A. Yerex, Mr. E. Y. Peterson, and Mr. W. Blakesley were Judges of the contest. These models are now on display in the show case of the school library. Plans are now being made for anoth- er soap carving contest. Any Trade School boy will be permitted to enter. If it is conducted, a prize will be awarded the winner. NO TROUBLE AT ALL The above figure shows the heiro- glyphic manner in which a sender from Poughkeepsie, New York, Designated the destination of this letter which was re- ceived at the Trade School.

SEMI-ANNUAL PARTY FEATURED BY GRADUATES The A-Class graduation party, which was held January 31 at Tassie Tavern, was attended by more people than were expected by those who had made the plans. Although the mercury hovered near zero, graduates, their lady friends, and well- wishers arrived until the building was well filled. ATTENTION SINGERS! Mr. Henry James of the grind- er department is organizing a Trade School boys' chorus. The chorus will practice one evening each week in the vicinity of Highland Park. If you are interested, leave your name in the library with Mr. John Onderko. Mr. F. E. Searle, as guest speaker, was well received by his vast and hila- rious audience. I don't wish easy tasks for you, said Mr. Searle in his terse speech, but I do hope that you will have the courage and stamina to overcome the difficult tasks which you will have to face. In addition, he complimented the boys on their selection of partners. The officials and instructors pres- ent were introduced by Michael Chik, the toastmaster. Each was received with wild applause. As a special attraction The Harmo- nizers sang several familiar songs. A1 Rosowski played two selections on the accordion. Then Mr. Fred Nicholson gave his interpretation of that popular song The Music Goes Round and 'Round , the graduates Joining in on the chorus. PAGE TWO THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1236 15?Ip?

E. H. Stoelting Vol. 1, No. 3 Fri., Feb. 14, 1936 SAFETY—PRIME ESSENTIAL Our school shop has always been proud of its safety record and the small number of major accidents occurring in it. In the past two years, major acci- dents have been reduced to a very small per cent. This is due to the fact that when an accident occurs it is so closely studied that repetition of another sel- dom occurs. When a major accident does occur, Mr. E. Y. Peterson, Mr. William Blakesley, or Mr. William Moore are im- mediately notified of the case. It is then studied by one of the three in or- der to prevent another of the same kind from occurring. Several hernia cases were sent to the Henry Ford Hospital during 1935 by the school.. Each one was caused by the student doing some heavy lifting which he should never have done. Every boy is cautioned by all the shop instructors never to do any heavy lifting. If the boys would work as instructed, ninety- nine per cent of all accidents would be avoided. A major accident has not occurred for some time, and the pad containing reports that are filled out by the in- structors is gathering dust from lack of use. Please help us to keep it gather- ing dust. Some men are considered theories because they never work. The faster a man is, the less dif- ficulty he has catching up with things. When Do We Eat Fifty-two tons of meat, 5,200 poundB of butter, 32,000 loaves of bread, 1,976 bushels of potatoes, and 429,000 bottles of milk, besides eight miles of hot dogs and bushels and bushels of corn, peas, and tomatoes. No, not the provisional requirements for the Detroit Zoological Park, but the amount of food consumed annually by the members of the Trade School. According to Mr. Gordon A. Yerex, the cost of preparing and the food itself totaled $103,000 last year. Preparatory to the meal, the floors and tables are cleaned, the bread and dessert distributed and the tables set. Then the truck arrives with the food which has been prepared under the direc- tion of Mr. Rene De Raine of Coffin and Nunnelley. When the victuals are receiv- ed, they are reheated and served under the supervision of Mr. R. L. Bailey. The lunchroom is ready and although the diner's concern is here ended, the staff must finish cleaning and make ready for the next day. MAGIC VERSUS SCIENCE At a Father and Son Banquet last Friday evening, February 7, Mr. Keith Glassley was called upon to assist the magician. Due to ignorance of the magic charm, Mr. Glassley was unable to pre- vent three playing cards from passing through his coat and entering a sealed envelope in which he had placed fifteen cards. On counting the cards, after they had been taken from the sealed en- velope, Mr. Glassley found three extra. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1956 TEE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE SHAMROCKS CAPTURE BASKET BALL HONORS The Shamrocks' hasketeers swamped the Lions in the W-Section championship play-off at Miller gymnasium. The Shamrocks have Been undefeated this season, winning 6 combats; the Mus- tangs who were runner-up triumphed in 3 contests and lost in 1. During the season the Shamrocks scored 212 points and gave only 17 to their opponents. Jack Reuteur is the season's top scorer, having garnered seventy-two points. Steve Vigh is a close contest- ant with sixty-six. The players of The Craftsman basket ball team wish to express their thanks to all instructors who cooperated in donating funds which made it possible for the teams to obtain their suits. W-SECTION ROUNDS OUT SCHEDULE The W Section has finished its basket ball schedule with the Sham- rocks coming out on top in the Senior division and the Dodgers in the Junior division. Both teams went through the season without a defeat. Following are lists of the boys on both teams. Shamrocks: Steve Vigh (captain), Jack Reuteur, Leonard Ryan, William Bowden, Isaiah Petovello, William Walker, and Kenneth Stoltenberg. Dodgers: Maurice Baker (captain), August Oliverio, Herbert Schilk, Robert Hare, Erwin Gallinat, Stanley Billickey, Melvin Hall, and John Moffat. ATHLETIC CLUB SPONSORS DANCE The Craftsman Athletic Club is giv- ing an all-school dance on March 6 at the Grande Ballroom, Joy Road and Grand Diver Avenues. Tickets may be obtained from any member of The Craftsman basket ball team or Mr. Vernie Richards. The tickets are twenty-five cents each. They request your presence and sup- port for this newly formed organization. B CLASS PANTHERS HIT STRIDE The Panthers finally came into their own for the first time this year. After losing to the Basketeers and the Maroons, they won on a forfeit from the Stars, but to polish up their defense, they scrimmaged Mr. Richard's pick-up team and defeated them by the score of 18-4 with Erwin Kosmowski, forward, scoring 8 points. Wednesday, January 15, they played the Basketeers. A good passing and de- fensive game enabled them to defeat the Basketeers by the score of 19-16, and again Erwin Kosmowski was a high pointer with 7 chalk-ups. With their spirits high, they took on the Aces, the first place team, the following day, and playing a defensive game defeated them 13-12 with Harry Monks being the high scorer with 6 tal- lies. The Panthers are now tied for first place in the standings with the Basketeers and are set on staying there for the rest of the season. TRADE SCHOOL YEILDS SPEED CHAMPION Vincent (Red) Bozich, a Trade School graduate, has become a racing skater. In 1935 Bozich participated in the Detroit Times races at Belle Isle. During January of this year he raced in the championship competition for the state title at Belle Isle. He placed first, second, and third in the three races. This is the first year Bozich has skated in the senior division class B. After winning this event, he was auto- matically placed in class A. THE CRAFTSMAN LOSES AND WINS The Craftsman basket ball team was handed its first defeat by the hands of the Middies of the Kronk Community House League on February 1, by a tally of 32 to 31 The game was decided by a last-second basket from the center of the gym floor. To redeem themselves, the following Saturday, the boys walloped the Kronks by a score of 37 to 30. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1936 •a TIDBITS Bill Carroll of the M-B-2 class, a novice featherweight in the Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament, won his first two touts, the second by a one round knock- out. Robert Hennessy's Dad is an amateur boxing referee. He has refereed most of Joe Louis's fights here in Detroit. The picture of the lunch room was taken with Mr. Marvin Bushman's camera by Mr. 0. Rowland Scott and developed by Mr. Ray Hollander. Robert Bridgeforth devotes his spare time to the teaching of tap dancing. There are 148 Trade School students attending evening classes in Detroit. Mr. Weaver aroused the class in his latest illustrated liquid air lecture when he poured liquid air on his tongue. Valentines Day Age Old Custom Saint Valentine is the name which was given to several Saints and martyrs of the Christian church of whom the most celebrated are two martyrs whose festi- vals fall upon February 14. The most reliable accounts show that both lived during the third century and died on the same day. The anniversary of their death has became known as Saint Valentine's Day. The fact that this day is celebrat- ed as a lovers' festival has no connec- tion with the Saints, but is purely acci- dental . Both Chaucer and Shakespeare refer to the observance of this festival on the day In early spring when birds first choose their mates. In earlier days it was the custom for the young people to draw lots deter- mining which young man and young woman should be each others valentine . The couples thus drawn exchanged gifts, and in some cases were even regarded as be- trothed. ANON YMOUS PACKAGE REVEALS BOTHERED CONSCIENCE A package containing fifty cents, a letter, and two books was recently re- ceived by Mr. John J. Onderko, the libra- rian. The letter revealed that the books had been stolen from the library about three years ago by a former Trade School student who had decided to redeem his larceny. The money was to pay for dam- ages incurred to the books. Identity of the student is unknown. ALL IN A NAME During the Medieval Ages the people had no family names. As the population Increased, family names were needed to help distinguish people with the same first names. Some took the name of their father or, if they preferred, the name of their trade. The son of Richard would become Richardson; Henry, the smith, Henry Smith, or John, the cook, John Cook. If a person didn't want the name of hie trade or the name of his father, he would adopt the name of some important date or Saint's day, for example, St. John. The name of the place where a per- son lived was often used as a surname. Hadley is a good example; the word means pasture in Norwegian. -Charles Gregory SAYINGS OF THE NOT-YET GREAT Mr. Keith Glassley—What the hotel bill is the matter with you fellows? Mr. R. Don Weaver--Three grains of this substance would be sufficient to blow up the Trade School FOUND—A five dollar bill by Allister Dunn while cleaning in the dining room.

Mr. Fred Waring, as he rocked hack and forth in his chair, to a Craftsman reporter seeking an in- terview backBtage the Michigan theatre after-perf ormance. Mr. Waring started on his musical career at the age of nine, taking les- sons on the violin and playing the ban- jo. While in high school, he organized a four piece band. Three of the original members are still in his band, after eighteen yeans, one being his brother, Mr. Tom Waring. All boys who are interested in learning to take and develop pictures get in touch with Mr. Rowland Scott. If there are enough for a class, he will give a series of five lessons. When asked what the highlight of his life was, he replied, In trying to reach the top of my profession, many discouraging things have happened to me. Looking back now, I don't see how I got through some of them. The experience that I think was the highlight of my life was the two years spent in learn- ing to work. I drove a truck for that period. In comparison to the work he is doing now, it seems as if truck driv- ing would be much easier. In preparing hi8 radio program, Fred begins six days before the program goes on the air , re- hearsing from six to eight hours daily while in New York and two hours a day while on the road. Mr. Waring is much interested in boys and promised to visit the Trade School on his next trip to Detroit. TRADE SCHOOL REPRESENTED AT EXPOSITION Eight Trade School students and three instructors are participating in the Michigan Industrial Exposition which is in session at the Convention Hall. Work on the shaper, mill, grinder, and the various kind of Jobs done on each machine is being demonstrated to the pub- lic by the boys. Bench and lay-out work are also exemplified. The Trade School is entered in this exposition in order to acquaint the pub- lic with the kind of training that Henry Ford is providing for boys. Students representing the school are Thomas Schamante, Helmut Denzer, William Howard, Sylvester Metevia, Frank Abraham, Robert Bachoff, Peter Ponta, and Robert Stutzke, all seniors. They were chosen because of their good records. Instructors accompanying the boys Eire Messrs. Marvin Pushman, John Onderko, and Ray Hollander. These men are Trade School alumni. Mr. Pushman is in charge of the machinery and the supervision of the boys. Messrs. Onderko and Hollander are lecturing and answering questions about the Trade School. CO-EDS COMPARING H.S. AND T.S. BOYS The three co-eds who have been work- ing in Messrs. G. Yerex's and J. Wolfe's offices during the past five or six weeks have been gathering information for the University of Michigan. They are compar- ing the training the boys receive at the Henry Ford Trade School with the training that boys receive at high schools. In addition they are comparing the type of occupations held by each after graduation.

Vol. 1, No. 4 Fri ., Mar. 6, 1936 IT'S UP TC YOU It is interesting to note that of the 1397 boys enrolled in the Trade School, 86 received double scholarship increases last month because of good re- port cards while 117 received none at all due to unsatisfactory records. So, after all, cards do mean something. Adjustments of scholarships are now being made every card-marking and are based primarily on the six grades Eng- lish, mechanical drawing, mathematics, shop work, shop industry, and class in- dustry. If four of these marks are A's the student is given a double raise, providing that all others are satisfac- tory. Some might say it is impossible for everyone to be a scholar, to be smart , so to speak, and such is very true. It would be unfair at least to credit a student solely according to his native ability and for this reason adjustment of scholarships is based on the industry mark representing effort put forth. Card-marks are not like drawing lots, but are determined each individual for himself, each knowing what is re- quired and that he alone can fulfill these requirements. Vaughn Heard's rendition of the song Homing was well received by the students. It is gratifying to know that good singing and good songs are appreci- ated. CCJEEKTC fWEHC The person in question is an in- structor of medium height. He has a rather square chin built into his neck so as to suggest to the observer a bass voice. He is of stocky build and quite muscular. While in college he played on the foot- ball team. Al- though he looks to be about thirty-five, he walks with the dignity and air of one sixty years of age. He is, shall we say, a realist, and has a habit of picturing boys in the professions which their actions suggest. Although always encouraging, he outward- ly appears to be sceptical of a boy's sincerity. If you have not guessed who this is by this time, you should when I tell you his stand-by is a brush hair- cut. Engineering Editor Visits T S. I consider the Henry Ford Trade School the best school for boys in the United States, declared Mr. Pat Dwyer, Engineering Editor of the Foundry Maga- zine of Cleveland, Ohio, on his recent visit to the Trade School. He affirmed his statement in his article Catch 'em Young, Treat 'em Well, Tell 'em every- thing is Ford Recipe. In this article he made known the principles upon which the school is operated. He highly praised the fact that boys are not only taught tc be skilled mechanics, but are taught cleanliness, safety, accuracy, speed, and encouraged to be original. The second winner of the soap carv- ing contest should have been Ralph Mason and not Ralph Morgan as written in the previous issue. FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1956 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE BASKET (BALE PEAV- ®EE By winning both the Junior and.

SENIOR FINAL--Friday night, at the final play-off, the W-Section Shamrocks emerged victorious in the most thrilling game of the tournament, played against the Basketeers. Steve Vigh's last min- ute tally put the game on ice for the Shamrocks who, after piling up an 11-5 advantage at the half, fell behind on a brilliant rally by the Basketeers who, paced by their captain, C.

Enrolls Native Americans When the new semester began in Jan- uary, three Indian students, Wilfred Tyosh, Charles Cardinal, and Samuel Schofield, all descendants of the Chip- pewa tribe, were enrolled in the Trade School. The boys were born and reared on the L'Anse Reservation which is lo- cated near Lake Superior in Baraga Coun- ty, Michigan. Charles was a student of Baraga High School. Samuel and Wilfred attend- ed the L'Anse High School, the reserva- tion being divided into two villages, Zeba and Baraga. The main occupation of the Indians on this reservation is carrying out Gov- ernment projects. The present project is to build roads through the various forests. These roads serve as fire lanes during forest fires, as conflagra- tions occur often in this region. The boys related that they are ac- quainted with Gabriel Torshia, the old Indian chief who first settled the L'Anse Reservation. The Craftsman Athletic Club dance will be held tonight at Grande Ballroom. Two For One When the name Henry Ford is called in the W-G-2 class, two boys respond. Henry and Ford are the sur-names of the Lawrence twins. They were brought into this world in the Henry Ford Hospital and now wish to be brought into the me- chanical world by attending the Henry Ford Trade School. Although Henry and Ford can wear each others socks, they can not wear each others baseball glove, being right and left handed. T. S. Graduate Wins ®500 Prize Waiting in the lobby of the Rex Theater February 24, Just prior to being declared the winner of the $500.00 Luck- 0-Gram prize, Nickolas Homick, a Trade School graduate, tried to sell his tick- et for 50 cents. He would have been a very despondent boy if he had found a buyer. When the winning number was called, Nick was in the lobby, and the manager had almost left the stage before he let out a terrific shout, and went running up the aisle to the stage. Nickolas graduated from the Trade School in January 1935, and is attending apprentice Bchool. Walter Dorosh is organizing a Trade School Jazz Band. For further particu- lars inquire at the library.

With the Craftsman's share of the proceeds, thirty dollars, Mr. Richards will purchase jackets, with the letter C on them, for the basket ball team. Plans are also being made to Issue let- ters to class and sectional teams. The club wishes to express its thanks to the students who attended and also wishes to announce that another dance will be held in the near future. Henry Ford Trade School, H. F. T. S. Alumni, and Ford Motor Company Appren- tice School Field Day and Picnic will be held at Bob-Lo Island, June 13, 1936. Of the 560,000 persons who attended the Detroit-Michigan Industrial Exposi- tion, nearly all visited the Henry Ford Trade School Exhibit. The milling crowds became suffi- ciently interested to ask a great varie- ty of questions, men from a mechanical viewpoint, and women, as to how their sons can enroll in the Trade School. Many inquired as to the nature of the work and what part of the Ford car the boys are making. As Trade School boys make no part of the Ford V-8, the latter question had to be cleared up to the satisfaction of the inquisitors. Although the exhibit was not pur- posed as an advertising unit, it did bring forth the objectives of the Trade School, what and how the boys are taught and how they may specialize in any one trade. More than 7000 T. S. pamphlets were passed out to those seeking information.

Gasser, of the Trade School ■ book store, show that the popularity of the textbooks written by the instructors has been steadily increasing. Tears of experience and research have gone into the compilation of the books now available. Their educational material is comparable to that found in much higher priced manuals of instruc- tion. Seme of the important universities and colleges using our books are: State Teachers' College, Buffalo, New York; United StateB Naval Training Station; San Diego, California; the Universities of Cincinnati and Southern California; City Colleges of New York City; and the National Tsinghua University, Peiping, China. Individuals and schools from forty different states, besides Europe, China, Japan, and South America, are using our textbooks. Sales have climbed from twe hundred to fifteen hundred copieB £ month.

His closest call to being late ! was this winter, on that memorable slip- pery day, when he rang in with one min- ute to spare. Since June 1926, Louie is proud to relate, my wife has never failed to give me a hot breakfast. EDUCATION AGAIN VICTOR Preferring education to monetary reward, Rudolph Miok, of T-C-l class, for winning a best name contest in Fordson High evening school, chose a free tuition in English over the $3 cash prize offered. The contest was sponsored to select I the most appropriate name for the even- ing school's paper. Rudolph’s entry J ''The Fordson Owl was decided upon by a committee after careful consideration of seventy-five suggested names. T S. CHOIR WELL ON WAY In order to add cultural training to the extra-curricular activities of the school, Mr. Henry James, of the grinder department, has organized a choir consisting of Trade School boys which meets every Tuesday evening at | 7:30. Twelve students have been enrolled and Mr James is expecting to add about thirty more. This group will help him to carry out hiB plans. They will sing classical, semi-classical, and popular songs. Man can eat with false teeth and walk with a wooden leg, but he can't see with a glass eye.

On the dark, dreary night of March 16, 1936, blackness enfolded a classroom in the Henry Ford Trade School. What strange and mysterious events took place is unknown as we have only the mystery- shrouded ladder as a clue. An instructor, upon entering his classroom, the next morning, found propped in a corner leaning against the wall, a ladder. Projecting from one end of the ladder were two sharp pointed in- struments which were driven into a board lying on the floor. Presumably this was to prevent its falling. The instructor remembered distinct- ly that on the night of the sixteenth no such object could be observed where the ladder now stood. Throughout the day of the seventeenth, the ladder re- mained unmolested by human hands. How- ever, when the instructor arrived Wed- nesday morning the ladder had disap- peared. --John LaBadie A WARNING ? Keep your hair combed, face bright, apron neat in appearance; the candid cameramen , Mr. Rowland Scott and his young photographers, may be in your de- partment any day to take pictures for the Craftsman. A new camera has been ordered for the school; a photographic club is being organized. And now to you, Watch for the birdie. MITTI tTTl I fTTM ITTN HD Mr. John D. O'Connell, graduate and former instructor of the Trade School, is now an assistent prosecuting attorney of Wayne County. Mr. O'Connell entered the Trade School in 1923 and while here assisted in the publication of the Arti- san, a former Trade School paper. While still in the Trade School, in order to obtain his high school diploma, Mr. O'Connell attended evening classes at the Highland Park High School and the Detroit Institute of Technology. After graduating in January 1927, he worked afternoons and midnights and took courses offered by the Highland Park Junior Day College, Detroit City College, and Detroit College of Law. Soon after receiving his graduation card from the Apprentice School, in 1929, he was appointed instructor of English in the Trade School, remaining two years. After being admitted to the bar in the latter part of 1931, he was trans- ferred to the machine repair toolroom in the Spring and Upset building and during this period maintained a law office down- town. Since being appointed assistant prosecutor in 1935, Mr. O'Connell has won 94 per cent of his cases. ABC Department Chases Dirt The oleanliness of our school and shop is insured by the A. B. C. depart- ment. A. B. C. is an abbreviation for ALWAYS BE CLEAN. This department is to impress upon the student the value of cleanliness. Before a student can as- sume the responsibilities of a delicate Job, he must learn one of the principles of industrial work—cleanliness. Mr. George Wifling, who has charge of the A. B. C. department, has twenty boys working for him. Each has certain duties. Same are: sweeping the halls three times a day, mopping the halls twice a day, cleaning the classroom windows weekly, and washing the black- boards daily. The school believes this training to be of value to the student, because, when assigned to this department, he may use hie eyes to a good advantage. l)fy (Draftsman ublis h ( f “Imrj ‘JfWfc tyrabt £Sth«J Vol. 1 April 17, 1936 Ho. 6 WORK MUST BE ACCURATE Final Inspection is one of the most important departments in the Ford Trade School. Through this department, super- vised by Henry Schindler and Stanley Suthard, most of the work done in the Trade School must pass. After being carefully examined in each department, the Jobs reach Final Inspection. Here they are rigidly checked and shipped out to be used by the Ford Motor Company. In checking, the following instru- ments are used: an amplifier, which reads in ten-thousandths of an inch; an optimeter, which reads in one-half ten- thousandths of an inch; Johansson gage blocks; ten-thousandth indicators; and a Rockwell tester to determine the hard- ness of the steel. The Z” number and detail must either be stamped or etched on a Job be- fore it is shipped. This is necessary, not only to distinguish one Job from an- other, but to place the Jobs in their respective bins in tool stock. The etching is done by three different boys. The inspectors also check microme- ters and other precision tools used in the various departments of the Trade School. SCENE OF PARTY SELECTED Of several places nominated for the scene of the A-Class graduation party, the Aztec Tower has been selected by the party committee, composed of class pres- idents and same members of the faculty. The tower is located far above the din of the city on the thirty-second floor of the Union Guardian Building, downtown Detroit. Class presidents are: M-A-l Ted Operhall, M-A-2 Warren Gnich, M-A-3 John Bommarito, W-A-l Wilson Consiglio, W-A-2 Douglas Rowe, W-A-3 Thomas Kelly, T-A-l Floyd Serasse, T-A-2 Edwin Stewart, and T-A-3 Albert Richards. Members of the faculty on the com- mittee are: Butler C. Brewen, chairman; W. H. Moore, F. S. Nicholson, R. Dale, R. S. Yerex, and D. J. Morrisey. Formerly, the A-Class graduation party was sponsored and controlled by the students alone, but beginning with the present graduating class, it is to be a semi-annual school function spon- sored by the school. SUMMER STUDENTS ENROLL Preparations are being made for the enrollment of 100 college students in the Trade School. These students will report anytime after May, and remain until the last of September. First-hand practical experience in addition to the remuneration received is the aim of those enrolling. Two weeks are usually spent in each department. However, those who wish to specialize in a particular type of work may remain in the department longer. Most of the students come from Wayne University and the University of Michigan, but many colleges from all parts of the country are represented. Last year there were six Hindus, a few Chinese, and same Japanese in the group.

E. H. Stoeltlng Vol. 1, Ho. 6 Fri., Apr. 17, 1936 RING YOUR CARD ? Statistics show that the boys in the school lose approximately $200 annu- ally due to failure to ring out time cards. On scholarship days twenty to thirty students neglect their cards, while daily there is an average of eight or nine. It must he remembered that time is not only lost by the one individual, hut unnecessary effort and time must he dis- pensed by others in the course of recti- fying unrung cards. Most of us do it occasionally—it's only human to forget—but without doubt this compound loss could he decreased, and for this reason these facts are being called to attention. Form it in- to a fixed habit, impress it upon your subconscious mind, and if all fail, re- sort to the old string-around-the-finger trick. Mr. Speagle, the timekeeper, states that the occurrences are repeated by about the same students each time. Let's make it as impossible to for- get to ring time cards as it is to for- get to call for your scholarship. All prizes for the Bob-Lo picnic, to be held June 13, have been ordered and will go on display in the library in the near future. The committee (Ed. H. Bailey, J. H. Wolfe, J. W. Busman, and W. H. Moore) requests that' all sugges- tions concerning this excursion he hand- ed to them as soon as possible.

Department Boasts Wild Life Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow Pick were looking for a home. Now this isn't a very exciting event as every sparrow has to look for a home. But the fact that Mrs. Pick didn't want an ordinary cherry tree to bring up her brood is strange. After Investigating the eave trough of'the home of Mrs. Mucash and the stee- ple with its large hell, they decided to build where big things are done, hoping also that one of their feathered sons might became the maker of a make-clear- the-way car. So they chose the grinder department of the Ford Trade School. Since December these bipeded feath- ered friends have made their abode under one of the beams in the ceiling and seen to he well pleased with their neighbors. MOTORS BEING REPLACED In the Ford Motor Company and the Trade School, wherever possible, ma- chines are being equipped with A. C. mo- tors; D. C.'s being less efficient. A.

PAIR PURCHASE PLANE (DRAFTSMAN UDSE ®UT With but two more victories needed to gain the city crown, the Craftsman basket ball team was knocked out of competition in a dramatic 23-20 defeat by Tel-Hi at Hutchins School last Thurs- day, April 9. Although the Craftsmen were not headed until the fading minutes of the last half, they were missing many shots dead on the hoop. While they had good teamwork without any individual star- ring, the victorious team had a player who piled up 14 points and accounted for most of his team's floorwork. As the score gradually climbed in the second half for Tel-Hi, the Trade School boys' minds seemed to wander more and more to the coming baseball season, partially accounting for their comparatively poor showing. The largest lead the Craftsmen enjoyed was 6 points, the half ending A Driggs Skylark airplane has been purchased recently by Ray Hollander and John Onderko. The plane is powered with a 95 H.

It has been my ambition to fly an airplane since a young boy, said Mr. Hollander, and I now fly as a hobby. Mr. Hollander started taking lessons at the Municipal Airport at Pontiac last June. He now has about 25 hours of fly- ing to his credit. John Onderko's ambition it to teach other people to fly.

Croteau, at the Tau Beta Community House, Hanley Street, Hamtramck, Michigan. Miss Halverson, in charge of the Community House, was asked hy some hoys of that vicinity if a course in Auto Mechanics could he obtained. She made the request to Mrs. Edsel Ford, who was chairman of the Community House last year. Mr. Croteau was appointed in- structor in February 1935, when the first class started. Since November 36 hoys have been enrolled, there being no fee. The shop is equipped with a Ford V-8 engine, clutch, transmission, rear axle, front axle, steering gear, horn, reference hooks, text hooks, charts, table, and necessary ■cools.

H. Moore, who se- lects the interpreters, has never failed to locate a student needed to interpret. Once he was stumped when asked for a Japanese translator, however, a graduate from the school was found capable. Most interpreting is done for visi- tors at the Administration Building, pa- tients at the hospital, and employees at the employment office. All the nationalities represented in the school are kept in files in the office. Combined they form a cosmopoli- tan group from which one has a large va- riety of languages. B-CLASSES MAKE CHOICE The B-Class presidents have made the selections for their graduation pins and rings. Purchases are to be made from Mr. Wines of Josten's Jewelry Shop. In addition to the change in the engraving on the ring, the boys will have a choice between a stone or black enamel background. The presidents are as follows: M- Section---Cosmus Barone, Leo Catanzaro, Robert Spengler. T-Section--------Francis Zawacki, Wilfred Cortis, Gerald Anderson.

Accuracy is required throughout the Ford Motor Company. That is why such an enormous number of dial Indicators is used in the various departments. The dial indicator department in the school repairs all the indicators used by the Ford Motor Company including branches and assembly plants throughout the United States. Services of fifteen boys are required to keep all of the in- dicators repaired. These boys dismantle each dial, examine all parte for de- fects, and replace them with new ones if they cannot be repaired. Then they are rebuilt and tested for accuracy. Each student is able to repair from 8 to 18 per day. The A-Class graduation party will be held Saturday, June 27, in the Aztec Tower. The tickets are now in the hands of the class presi- dents. The price is $2.50 a couple. Indicators that are personally own- ed by Ford Motor Company employees and instructors and students of the Trade School are also repaired here. FIRST STUDENT RETURNS One of the first six students to enroll in the Henry Ford Trade School, Stanley F. Lasky, recently paid a brief visit to his Alma Mater. In order to commemorate this brief visit, Mr. Lasky appears in the above picture with Mr. F. E. Searle and Mr. E. Y. Peterson standing near a shaper twenty years old, which may have been operated by Stanley when he was a student. Stanley was enrolled in the school October 25, 1916, when the Valley Farm, a home for young boys maintained by Mr. Henry Ford, was closed and the boys, six of them, were transferred to the Trade School, Just opening. At that time the six students were required to attend classes for one-half the day and shop for the other half. During his visit he was noted care- fully scrutinizing the old shaper. When asked what he was seeking, he replied, It was our custom, when the school first started, to take a scriber and carve our initials on each machine we operated. We did our own bookkeeping, he Jokingly added. Above everything else, he stated, my school experience trained me how to work. At the present time Mr. Lasky is a chef in a Detroit hotel.

Every young man should endeavor to look his best at all times because ap- pearance plays a part in his social life. A neat appearance is a characteris- tic every employer looks for in a young man who is applying for a job. If the young man is careless in appearance, his chances for obtaining the job are hin- dered . Carelessness in appearance can be easily remedied. It is not such a long painstaking task for one to tidy up a bit, and he will find that the result of this extra duty to himself is always gratifying. Neatness is approved by everyone. If practiced daily it becomes a benefi- cial habit. GET INT© THE GAME Intramural baseball is under way. This sport is created for the entire student body, not for a few.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1936 Under the auspices of the Detroit Public Library, the first Trade School Library was organized in 1918. The school was at that time located in Highland Park. This library was open to students of the Trade School and to all employees of the Ford Motor Company. Branch association with the Detroit Public Library was discontinued in 1919 and a few months later the Highland Park Public Library established a branch in the school. This was open to the public as well as to students of the school and Ford Motor Company employees. It was gradually increased and maintained until the Trade School was transferred to the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn in 1930. At this time, the school undertook to operate its own library, which it has been doing ever since. The present library is under the direction of John Onderko, a graduate of the school. The library is open from 7 a. m. to 4:15 p. m. and is used to capacity nearly every hour of the day. Employees of the Ford Motor Company also have access to the library. Following is a list of the magazines received regularly at our library.

These letters come from all over the world. Only re- cently a lad of Esslinger, Germany, wrote, asking if he might enter this school of Mr. Henry Ford's of which he had heard so much. The letter was writ- ten in German. At another time, the writer was an Irish lad, and then a hoy of Ecuador. Inquiries have even been received from far-away China, Japan, and the Philippines. Most of these letters are from boys and young men who have heard of the Trade School and would like to enroll. Many want to know how much it will cost them and are amazed to learn that the students receive a cash scholarship. Answers are written by members of the A-Class as part of their work in English. Approximately seventy-five an- swers are sent out each week. Typing is under the direction of William Boghiam, W-E-l, James Murphy supervising. FIELD-DAY AWARDS ON DISPLAY The Bob-Lo excursion awards are now on display in the library. There are 56 nedals, 24 gold baseballs, and 10 tro- phies . The shop instructors' baseball team, Led by Nick Credit, is rapidly rounding Lnto shape. The class instructors, oached by Ray Shillum swear revenge for the defeat handed them by the shop last fear. This is just one of the many Events of the day. The program is nearing completion. Lf you have any suggestions see the committee. (DRAFTSMEN D(R®P D NOTIAL [BATTLE T® F®(RD$®[N Showing lack of competitive'playing experience, the Craftsman varsity base- ball team dropped the initial game of its 1936 schedule to Fordson Saturday, April 25, at Fordson Field, score, 6-2. The Craftsman scored early when William Sonnenberg's timely single sent two runners scampering across the plate. Fordson tied it up in the last of the second with a lusty triple, followed by Frank Mugerdichian's error, which al- lowed four bases. Charles Epps, starting Craftsman port-sider, fanned eight and allowed two hits and two runs during the four innings that he worked) however, he tired fast and his successor, Harry Monks, was less successful. Fordson put the game on ice in the fourth and fifth innings by scoring twice in each frame. Twelve Craftsman batters went the strike-out route and the final totals, when the game was called at the end of the seventh, stood: Craftsman, two runs, five hits, and three errors; Fordson, six runs, six hits, and one error. (HUGH LIGHTS ®F THE GAME Superb pitching by Norman Tomlin featured the C-Class Bengals 1-0 victory over the A-Class Microbes. In two games only one hit has been collected off the offerings of Pirate pitchers. Anthony Chatzka's hitting has been a large factor in his team's winning games. Norman Stryzewski is the only play- er in the M-Section with a perfect bat- ting record of 1.000. The Pirate roster is the largest in the W-Section. They carry seven out- fielders, seven infielders, three pitch- ers, and one catcher. Frank Mugerdichian and Harold Hoff- man are the leading hitters in the sen- ior division of the M-Section. PAf.F.

Stoelting Yol. 1, No. 8 Fri., May 29, 1936 SHACKLES AND SECURITY • By DR. MERMAN SCHNEIDER The person who is the subject of this questioning narrative is liked by many. He is neat, courteous, a lover of nature, and a strong up- holder of all that is righteous. He is a deep thinker and displays a great amount of tact in bringing out his point. Although the greater part of his time is taken up in and about the Trade School, he still finds time to pursue his hobbies, among which are gardening, floriculture, and fruit growing. Tact, diplomacy, and natural humor are features which account for his popularity. RECENTLY a publicist of note said that people were no longer interested in Liberty; what they wanted was Security. He implied that the idea of Liberty was a fragrant hang-over from a day of flowery speech, a day of lace and velvets and cotil- lions and stagecoaches. And I thought of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wrote his own epitaph. It is on his tombstone and reads: Hen wu buried Thom� � Jeffenton author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and father of the University of Virginia. You will note that he didn’t teU about being Am- bassador to France. Secretary of State and President of the United States. These were but instrumen- talities to his real objective, which was Liberty. And Liberty to him was a living thing, the greatest living thing, the fundamental thing. It wasn't a flower of rhetoric for election time nor a high-falutin affectation to the making of a career. He fought lustily about it at any cost. He abhorreri a growing national debt; he fought it on the argument that to transmit financial obligations was to shackle posterity, and to pass on shackling things was to pass on less liberty. More than that, he was opposed to passing on to posterity any cumulative social obligation which would inevitably come to a due date. For example, there was an established church with special privileges. Special privileges were a denial of Liberty. It was the aristocratic church, and he was an aristocrat. But he foresaw that if it persisted, a due date would come with the inevitable accumulations and there would be real trouble. So he fought his aristocratic friends about it and won. There was a law of primogeniture and entail by which, after the English fashion, the whole inheritance went to the eldest son. He foresaw that some day there would be a few great estates and an army of tenant farmers, which wasn’t his idea of Liberty. And because the plan led to a denial of Liberty, he fought his friends about it, and again he won. There were no schools for the poor. There were for his own group. He insisted that those who had must tax themselves to educate those who hadn’t. It was a bitter fight, but ultimately his ideas were adopted. He foresaw that slavery would lead to a cumulative due date for posterity. Again he fought, but this time he was beaten. Posterity paid that debt at a terrible cost in 1861-1865; we are still paying it, the South particularly. You will see that Jefferson's idea was simple: meet your financial and social obligations in your own day. Every obligation you pass on to your children and your grandchildren is that much denial of liberty to them. And worse, it becomes cumulative, setting group against group to the point of rebellion with all of its tragic costs. If Jefferson were alive today he would line up honestly, predictivdy, un- selfishly and militantly with a flaming zeal for a continuing Liberty as the only basis for economic Security. Island Scene Of Historic Lore Probably the most intriguing and comment-producing of all the sights at Boh-Lo Island Park is the historic hlockhouse situated at the southern tip of the island. During the Civil War the Boh-Lo Island blockhouse was used to hide negro slaves overnight on their way to Canada and freedom. This island close to the Canadian shore was one of the principal stations on the underground railroad. Since 1901 this battle-scarred pill box , veteran of a dozen wars, has served as one of the attractions of the playground. This island changed from Indian ownership to British in 1796, from a British to an American possession in 1814 and back to Canada in 1826. In 1748 Bob-Lo was called by its Indian name Etiowiteendanent which in the Huron language means Peopled Island of White Woods Guarding the Entrance. It was from this description that the French evolved the title of Bois Blanc Island. This was later changed to Bob-Lo Island. Correction of Error.- From 3000 to 4000 dial indicators are repaired each month by the boys in the precision tool department instead of 300 to 400. FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1956 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Represent IS. At Dallas Shop Vs. Class- Comedy Predicted Decked in myriad-colored suits, the classroom instructors will tattle the shop instructors at Boh-Lo to capture the trophy that is now in the hands of said shop instructors. Listen what the managers have to say. Ray Shillum, of the classroom: We don't necessarily guarantee a good game tut it surely will te a great show. Nick Credit, of the shop: You re- call what happened last year—well that goes double this year. It is thought ty a great many ball fans throughout the school that the game will be a comedy of errors . KURZ GAINS GOLF RECOGNITION By exhibiting the best form and swing, Robert Kurz, W-C-l, was chosen winner in the senior men's division of the News Free Golf School and received complete golf equipment and a season's membership to the Sylvan Glen golf course as an award. He was one of the four outstanding pupils selected of 8,252 enrolled. Robert was a pupil in the golf class of Bob Sutherland and was adjudged the most improved student in that class. ANNOUNCE M E N T S The Annual Apprentice School In- structors' Picnic will be held at Howell Lake, June 28. An invitation is extended to T. S. instructors and their families. A-Classes, don't forget to get tickets early for your party. Gus Ritz and the Ritzmore Orchestra will furnish the dance strains. CRAFTSMEN HAVE HOPES Constant shifting of the second base combination and injuries which be- fell the catching staff are reasons why the Craftsmen fall easy prey to the statement Half your team's strength lies down the middle . When a broken finger forced William Sonnenberg, first string catcher, to shift to right field, the team found itself without proper catching. However, A1 Richards, a con- verted pitcher, is now holding up this department splendidly, and with a suit- able second base combination finally obtained, Mr. Richards still has hopes of the Craftsman winding up its 1936 schedule with a winning percentage. HQGHOLQGHIS ©F TTHE GAME With outstanding pitching by Murray the Red Wings defeated the Seals 4-0. Murray didn't allow a hit till after the seventh inning. Although leading the T-Section sen- ior division, the Lobos cannot boast of a single player among the batting lead- ers, showing that it's teamwork that counts. In addition to pitching a no-hit game with only one pass issued, Fred Murray of M-D-3 tripled with bases load- ed to account for the only runs scored by either team as the Red Wings beat the Rangers in a junior softball game. Last year the Panthers finished second in baseball standings and tied for sectional basketball championship. This year, under the managership of Ted Operhall they lead their section.

CLASSES VIEW ORE BOAT One of the largest boats in the Ford fleet, Henry Ford II, was recently visited by some of the C-Classes. While on the boat, the students witnessed two Hulett unloaders in the process of un- loading Hematite (red iron ore) which the ship had transported from Marquette. It requires about ten hours to unload a cargo of 10,000 tons of ore. Henry Ford II and Benson Ford are sister ships, being constructed along the same pattern. With overall lengths of 612 feet and powered by 3000 H. P. semi-Diesel engines, the two boats are the largest motor-driven ships on the Great Lakes. At top speed, about 11 knots, each consumes 98 gallons of oil per hour. Both ships have dual control systems in order to insure greater safe- ty. Besides carrying iron ore from Mar- quette, Escanaba, and Duluth, the two ships also haul limestone from Calcite, and coal from Toledo.

The band is always in demand for German parties and dances. The band was originally organized by the students for their amusement, but due to its popularity, it is now spon- sored by the Ford Motor Company. The leader of the band is Henry Crawford. Other members are William Tourence, Victor Sedlar, John Magolan, Norman Kerr, and Gus Ratzenberger. These six boys are the same stu- dents who started the band in 1929.

Encircling each setback is a row of lamps clustered in triangular groups of one of each of the red, green, and blue lights. The blue contain 200 watt, the green 150 watt, and the red 100 watt clear Mazda lamps. The colored Roundell faces of these floodlights, which are from six to ten inches in diameter, consist of two separate glasses, one colored, about three-eighths of an inch thick, and another clear glass over that, totaling the thickness to about one inch. These lenses are not made of ordi- nary glass but of Pyrex, an expensive, high heat resisting material used for baking, laboratory work, etc. Despite this precaution, the blue and green lamps often break because of the intense heat.

With Gu8 Ritz and the Ritzmore Orchestra rendering popular melodies, there will be dancing from 9p.m. to la. m. Before dancing, songs will be sung by The Harmonizers . A surprise entertainment will be directed by Henry Eiszler, the toastmaster. Mr. F. E. Searle will talk on the topic Our Boys , and John McFalls, a member of the Senior Class, will speak on Our School . Since there is an unusually great demand for tickets and as the supply is limited, students are urged to hurry to purchase tickets. G-MAN GIVES TALK Identification of the criminal is 50$ of our Job, related J. D. Cunningham of the Bureau of Federal Investigations when he recently talked to the upper classes in our auditorium. Explaining further he stated that once the criminal was identified the remaining Job was but to capture him. Attorneys and accountants are pre- ferred as prospective G men, according to Mr. Cunningham, because their work gives them experience with the law. After passing their examinations, these men must train for three months and then qualify in fingerprinting and the use of firearms. He then intrigued his listeners by explaining briefly the methods used in the apprehension of the nation's public enemies. Concluding his lecture, Mr. Cunningham pointed out the value of each person entering his fingerprints in the civil files.

Particular- ly, we wish to thank 0. Rowland Scott, photographer; John E. Dobrei, typist; George F. Petzer, photo-engraver; Edward Morrin, pressman; and A. R. Gasser, half- tones, and supervisor of printing. We believe that a school publica- tion plays an important part in building and fostering a spirit of oneness; therefore, when school work is resumed in September we want to again solicit your interest. INSTRUCTORS HOLD PICNIC The Ford Apprentice School Instruc- tors' Picnic will be held at Percy 0. Philburn's cottage, Howell Lake on Sun- day, June 28. This will be their third consecutive picnic at Howell Lake. As has been their custom in the past, they have extended an invitation to all Trade School instructors. Throughout the day there will be sports for all, including the women and children. The semi-finals and finals of the horse shoe pitching tournament will be played in the morning with track events, baseball, and swimming in the afternoon. At intervals throughout the day, Ford's Little German Band promises to make the hills and valleys ring with many old favorite tunes. This stalwart person, in his lat forties, walks witt the gait of a youuj man. A true love of nature, W spends the greatej part of his time, outside of ths Trade School, U vegetable gardes- ing. Mr. Guess Whcl possesses one valu- able asset which is highly noticeable- --his willingness and eagerness to helj boys in all of their progressions. Before coming to the United State! he completed an electroplating trade He was 19 when this picture was taken having been in this country six months In 1922 he graduated from the Fori Motor Company Apprentice School. Citizens - Not Criminals More than 1200 students have take precautions against being unidentifie by having their finger prints entered i Civil files. Two sets of prints were made fo each individual, one being sent to th files in Washington D. C., the otherbeiri retained in the Wayne County Identifi cation Bureau. This is the third schoc in Detroit to have prints made. In th last 18 months, 18,000 to 20,000 hav been printed in Wayne County. This project was sponsored by Mi Robert E. Bell of the civics department FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1936 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE ROTUNDA LIGHTING SYSTEM operation, inspectors must keep constant guard for spotty lighting, burnt-out lights, broken lenses, etc. This system is identical to that used at the Chicago Fair except that the Mazda bulbs were completely re- placed and the time required for all of the color combinations to be displayed was lengthened from fifteen minutes to one hour. Lights on each of the three parapet setbacks are in themselves capable of producing all of the color charges, the great variety of combinations being ac- complished by the switchboard mechanism which mixes the prime colors and also causes gradual dimming and intensifying of the light. This mechanism is automatically controlled by means of a rotating drum having adjustable cams located at the required points on its circumference. As the drum rotates, the cams lift small glass bulbs containing mercury, causing the mercury to flow back and make an electrical contact with relays, which in turn control the current for the lights. The advantage of mercury switches is that they cannot burn out. The system, however, can be operated by hand and the colors changed by merely altering the position of the cams on the drum. Merrily We Roll Along And let me Wa-hool Wa-hoo! Wa- hooi What is this? I went nearer. A group of boys sitting in a circle were exercising their vocal chords. As I listened with rapt delight the circle continued to grow larger and the din in- creased. Soon a few girls Joined in. As if in answer to a signal, young folks from all over the boat came to lend their voices in an overwhelming chorus. It now became very evident that Henry James' singing class was well rep- resented. Everyone present had a good time singing all the old and new favor- ites until the boat docked. The Guess Who of this issue is, IcLhot Gnijrelel. Arrange these letters properly and you will have his name. Picnickers Frolic On Boat What about the boat trip? Ah I Yes, it was great. First there was a violent stir of the propeller; then the big comfortable boat, filled from bow to stern with smiling happy faces, moved dilatorily outward on its one hour and ten minute trip to Bob-Lo. During the trip, many ate candy, hot dogs , drank pop, or danced to the strains of the orchestra. From the lit- tle tots on up to the brains (or what have you?) of the family, they all were tempted at one time or another to stick their heads over the sides of the boat and feel the cool breeze beating against their faces. And what happened when Bob-Lo was sighted?--Please don't ask----all that can be said is, the crowd just went wild with expectancy. The boat had barely docked before they flocked in droves up- on the island. Golden Wedding Celebrated Instead of attending the Bob-Lo Picnic Saturday, June 13, Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Wurm celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Although 73 years of age, he stated that he feels better when working than when idle. Mr. Wurm is a shop millwright in the Trade School, repairing all leather belts. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean twelve times, acting as a hostler in the Barnum and Bailey Circus, and working for the Ford Motor Company twenty-four years, including nine years in the Trade School, are some of the high lights of his employed life. Ex—Coast Guard In Dry Dock Truant, a 44 year old power boat, formerly used as a coast guard patrol on the Great Lakes, but in recent years used as a Sea Scout stationary training ship, is now in dry dock on our campus where it is being completely overhauled and made seaworthy. The vessel was built in 1892 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company for the Newbury family of Detroit. This same year work was started on the first of a long line of defenders of the America's Cup.

Fred Murray, who hurled a no-hit game earlier in the season, pitched a good game for the Wings, but his lack of support was costly, whereas Ray Smith, pitcher for the Sluggers, did not pitch as well. Superb fielding by Robert Perry, left fielder, robbed many of Murray's team- mates of extra-base hits. DODGERS WIN The championship game was a push- over for the W-Section Dodgers. The only thing that need be written about this game is that the slugging Smith boys never got going. Melvin Hall and Maurice Baker hit home runs for the Dodgers. The final score was 10 to 1. VARSITY BOWS T© PANTHERS One of the hardest fought games at Bob-Lo was staged between the Craftsmen and the Panthers, M-Section hardball Champs. Panthers winning 8 to 4. Mr. Richards' boys, although trying their hardest, were outplayed at every turn. The Panthers were off to a good start when Frank Mugerdichian, lead-off mem, walloped a home run to deep center field. They never relinquished this lead although hard-pressed at times. SENOORS RETAON CUP By defeating the Alumni 8-6 at Bob- Lo Island, Mr. Moore's Senior baseball team for the second year successfully defended the Coffin and Nunnelley Tro- phy. This was one of the most evenly contested hardball games of the day, each team making but two errors. The Alumni threatened with a four run rally in the sixth, but were held from fur- ther scoring. Without Water Wings During the swimming races at Bob-Lo Island, the Open Novelty Race proved to he a spectacular event. In this race each contestant was required to hold a small piece of paper in one hand and swim fifty yards. If the paper was dampened, the contestant was immediately disqualified. Anyway -1 r Was Good Exercise Shop Beats Class Forty-two runs, thirty-eight hits, and ? errors. This provided the enter- tainment for those who viewed the annual clash between the shop and class in- structors. Bruised lips, sore muscles and arms, and perspiration-soaked shirts were temporarily forgotten during the heat of the scoring session. Striking early, the shop instructors battered Roy Yerex from the mound by scoring 12 runs in the first inning. From then on every player on both teams, except Raymond Shillum, scored at least one run and collected at least one hit. Final to- tals showed the shop victors by a clear margin.

SCHOOL REPRESENTED AT CLEVELAND When Eastern States pulls out of the Detroit Harbor it will carry the first eight boys that will represent Henry Ford Trade School at Great Lakes Exposition in Cleveland, Ohio, commenc- ing June 27 and continuing a hundred days. There will be four groups of boys, each group staying approximately twenty- five days. They will operate a lathe, shaper, grinder, and milling machine, under the supervision of Wilbur Goehmann and Raymond Hollander. In Chicago, San Diego, and Dallas most of the work orig- inated at the exposition, however, most of the work done in Cleveland will be sent from Dearborn. The boys will op- erate the machines about forty hours per week, alternating from 10 to 4 one day and from 4 to 10 the next. White shirts and trousers with blue stripes running down the side of each leg will be worn. A Ford Motor Company Agency will act as host during their stay. Among other notable places, they will visit the Akron Airport, home of many American dirigibles.

If they expect to find Jobs. It was found out by experts that there are only about 180,000 Jobs open in the stenographic field at present, but there are nearly 700,000 young people taking this course in public schools and business colleges this year. There are at least 120,000 Jobs open to salesmen, yet there are only 25,000 students that are taking courses to prepare them for this work. PRESIDENTS BUY PINS The A-Class presi- dents have elected to disperse of the $14.03 left from the sale of tickets for the Gradua- tion Party as follows: Nine dollars for special pins for the presidents bearing an insignia of the office that they held. The balance, $5.03, for next semester's presidents to be used for a similar purpose. Now What P Graduation with its dinner and ex- citement is over. You are no longer John Doe , best pitcher in the league or associate editor of The Craftsman . You are merely John Doe , Senior. However, remember the old slogan, Forward ever, backward never. GRADUATION DANCE WELL ATTENDED On the thirty-second floor, Aztec Tower, of the Union Guardian Building downtown Detroit, the senior dinner and dance was held on June 27, in honor of the graduating class. After viewing the panoramic scene that spreads into the two countries bor- dering the Detroit River, and while the sinking sun was still playing its mellow beams across the floor, the guests were served din- ner. The Harmonizers were introduced by the toastmaster, H. Eiszler, senior class member. Their first number was Come to the Fair after considerable applause. Mr. James sang a solo I Love Life , followed by another, Tommy Lad . The second song rendered by The Harmonizers was Sweet Kentucky Babe . Fred Nicholson sang two popular solos The Glory of Love and It's a Sin to tell a Lie , and then led the audience in a song entitled The Trade School Graduate to the tune of The Man on the Flying Trapeze . D. J. Morrisey responded to the cheers of the audience with the song, Wagon Wheels . Mr. F. E. Searle, as guest speaker, was well received by the expectant audi- ence. In his address, Our Boys , he brought out the point that a boy should know what he wants to follow and then pursue that course until it is attained. (Continued on page 4) THERE ARE JOBS—AND JOBS Take this, my boy, and remember it long, Though now it may stride you as funny, A job with a chance to improve and advance Is better than one that pays money. TaJ e a hmt from an old man who's traveled the way. Just heed to his counsel a minute. There's a job that may pay you five doliari a day But that's all there will ever be m it. Don’t loot at the cash as so many boys do, Tafie a loo at the long years before you. See how much you can learn, not how much you can earn. And the place which the future has for you. Can you rise from the post where they'd have you begin? How far will this humble job take you? These are questions to ask■ They pay well for the task. But what sort of a man will it make you? Oh, many a boy has begun with a rush And has grabbed for a man's wages blindly; Now he sticks as a man at the spot he began. And thinks life has used him unkindly. So look f07 a J°h with a future ahead. Seek a chance to grow greater and greater. Seek a place where you know as you work you will grow; And the money will come to you later. —Edgar A.

E. H. Stoelting Yol. 1, No. 10 Fri., July 3, 1936 Society needs citizens who can and will give it unselfish service. Men trained to work ac- curately and accustomed to assume responsibility should have greater capacity for such service. You have had such training. May you serve accord- ing to your ability. As your horizon widens my wish for you is keener vision, maturer Judgment, higher ideals, worthy ambition, and that tenacity of purpose which will cause you to carry through and span oceans to achieve your plans. Today I read a letter of thanks from a Trade School student to an official of Ford Motor Company for assistance in securing him a place in Henry Ford Trade School. This letter stated that the opportunity given him has already, though he has been enrolled only a few months, been of great benefit to him in many ways. His record shows why; it is mostly all A's and the balance B's. What he puts in determines what he will take out. Too many of us do not put enough in, and so the returns are small. My best wish for this graduating class is that you may put your best in your future work and I am sure the return will spell success. The man who named Graduation Exercises Com- mencement knew what he was about. While gradua- tion closes one door, it opens another to a much greater field of activity. There is a process of learning through our productive years, and he that lays for himself a sound foundation, such as Just begun by you boys, and continues through the years by diligent work, will be found in the responsible positions of the future. Be observing, study your Job. The simplest task can be improved upon. Keep informed as to the latest methods and equipment.

GRADS ARE CRAMPS The Trade School senior hasehall championship was won by the Panthers, a team composed of mostly A-Class stu- dents. Their double victory at Ford Field, Saturday, June 27, over the Pirates and Lobos finally snapped a sec- ond-place complex which had hampered them since they have participated in sport activities. Last year the team, made up of T. Operhall, E. Kosmowski, W. Humen, S. Lasky, A. McHugh, H. Monks, H. Eiszler, and J. Nick, finished second to the Hawks who won the school champ- ionship. In basketball, this same group tied the Basketeers but lost the playoff game in a thriller. This year was their last and the boys were determined to do their best. With the help of G. Penner, F. Mugerdichian, M. Cross, J. Connors, and C. Burns their bid for high honors was fully recognized. The fine pitching of H. Monks featured the championship clashes, setting the Pirates down with but three hits, and his relief pitching in the finals enabled the Panthers to emerge the victor in both games. As Trade School graduates, we have acquired much practical experience. Years spent here have strengthened our character and confidence. We will carry memories of time spent in the school, on shop trips, and in other interesting projects. Not only have we learned the trade of a machinist, but other essential factors which make for success—thrift, cleanliness, accuracy, poise. These points are as important to us as are the parts in the most delicate machine. Therefore, we of the graduating claes extend our thanks to the faculty for the efforts expended in our behalf. --Carl Kulczycki DINNER DANCE In closing he admonished the graduating students with these simple words, Stick to the thing you want to do. John McFalls, one of the graduates, talking on the subject Our School em- phasized the value of the Trade School education. The chairman then turned the re- mainder of the evening over to Gus Ritz and the Ritzmore Orchestra who played for the dance until 1 o'clock. During the evening 0. Rowland Scott recorded the history of the occasion with the camera. Desire Versus Duty This is a struggle in boyhood, and maturity does not get rid of it. There is some excuse for the boy whose emo- tions and desires are uppermost, and who has not learned to control them. He has not the required strength to take duty rather than desire to guide his actions. Duty says Prepare for life's demands, but desire chimes in with Have a good time, let tomorrow be cared for when it comes. The call to school is silenced by the call to pleasure. This is a real struggle, a battle in choice. Desire gives excuses for ig- noring duty, and frequently it deter- mines the decision of youth. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW The class presidents wish to ex- press their appreciation to all who have assisted in making the graduation party a success. This graduating edition of The Craftsman was planned by the presidents of the A-Cla8ses. The General Committee wishes to thank everyone who participated in the sale of tickets and in the execution of the sports' program at Bob-Lo on June 13. The T-Section will report to class September 8.

Overshadowing the preserva- tion and reconstruction detail of the American collection by Mr. Ford was the industrialist's evident youth. His run from his car to the curbstone where he sat for a picture caused more excitement than all the eternal fires of the Village combined. After the picture Mr. Ford autographed a few books and ran back to his car. The young college men were quick to note the springy walk, the deep tan, and even the gar- terless socks presented by Ford. The group, under the direc- tion of F. E. Searle and Urban Lucas, was assembled in Martha- Mary Chapel for a brief explana- tion of some of Ford's ideas pertaining to education. Graduate Crosses Ocean Harry Monks, a member of the June graduation class, has Just returned frcm a visit to his native home in England. Harry relates that his Mother and Father had promised him a trip to England after his graduation from Henry Ford Trade School. For three years, says Harry, I looked forward to this time with great anticipation. After my graduation in June, I left Detroit for Montre- al. Here I boarded my ship. After leaving the St. Lawrence Seaway, remarked Harry, we did not sight land again until the boat docked in Greenock, Scot- land.

ANNOUNCEMENTS The 20th Anniversary Dinner of Henry Ford Trade School will be held in Aztec Tower on the thirty-second floor of the Union Guardian Building, downtown De- troit, October 22. All alumni, instructors, and their families are urged to attend. Any boy interested in in- strumental music should report to Mr. Glassley in room 46 not later than October 11. Fifty-seven students did not receive scholarship for their summer vacation because attendance was unsatisfactory or their thrift-fund was not depos- ited regularly. We hope that not one boy will lose his Christmas vacation scholarship. There will be a class in photography again this year. Students are requested to watch The Craftsman for announcement. IS. REPRESENTED AT STATE FAIR Attracting all types of people, including those who un- derstood machinery and those who did not, the Trade School exhib- it at the Michigan State Fair was well attended. In Oharge of the exhibit were Messrs. Blum and Hollander who explained the purpose and efficiency of the various ma- chines. Machines included were a lathe operated by Winfield Nagel and Carl Kulczycki, a milling machine, by Eugene Adams and Joseph Schaefer, a grinder, by Rudolph Glotzhober and Peter Ponta, and a shaper, by Joseph Silye and Floyd Scrase. All op- erations ran on two shifts. The boys aided in explain- ing their various Jobs, all of which originated in the school. The question which prevailed in most visitors' minds was What part of the Ford car are they making? They soon learned how- ever, that the boys weren't mak- ing Fords. Among the visitors was John Goode who was one of the first seventy students in the Trade School. Several of the school textbooks were also exhibited. ALUMNUS MANS SAILBOAT John E. Dobrei was the crew on the Sea Jack , a snipe-class sloop, that captured the first prize banner in the Detroit Yacht Club Annual Labor Day Re- gatta, on Lake St. Clair Monday, September 7, 1936. The gun went off! Away the boats went with a flying start. For the first 4 miles the boat that finished second and the Sea Jack were fighting for the lead. The crisis came when the boats were going against the wind and had to tack in. The Sea Jack finally got to windward and shot ahead, steadi- ly increasing its lead, and vic- toriously crossed the six mile goal mark about five minutes a- head of its nearest rival.

Stoelting Vol. 2, No. 1 Fri., Sept. 25, 1936 PLAINS AND PURPOSES This issue of The Craftsman will mark the initial publica- tion for the 36-37 semester, with the classroom work already in full swing. In this issue No. 1, Volume 2 you will undoubtedly note changes from all previous publi- cations, which changes we hope you will adjudge as improve- ments. We endeavor to go for- ward and not backwards. The size of the print has been re- duced, columns made narrower, quality of paper changed, fre- quency of publication increased, and revision made in general make-up. With the opening of the term The Craftsman is inaugu- rating a new facility, designed for the convenience of the stu- dent body and faculty. We in- vite you to take advantage of it to the fullest extent. A sturdy spacious box is installed in a conspicuous posi- tion in Room 39. This box is equipped with a slot or opening large enough to insert a piece of paper but too small to permit a hand to take back that which has been dropped. The appliance shall be designated as a drop box, tip box, news box, or what have you, and shall be used ex- pressly for you, Mr. Student to submit any tips or notices of coming or proposed events, news, past or present, questions or answers, stories, bits of inter- est concerning yourself or oth- ers, tip-offs on big scoops, and suggestions and information on any subject. By all means, do not be afraid to express your- self, your interest is welcome. You need not even show your face but slip quietly up to the box, deposit the goods and make an unperturbed exit. After all, the paper is the mouthpiece of the entire school and should afford opportunity for the expression of the sympa- thies and desires of the body and not of a few individuals. NOSE TO THE STONE AGAIN Cherishing memories of the past summer vacation, we again take up our school books for a new semester. Many of us are able to boast an enjoyable time while others of us are more than content with the rest afforded us by our brief relaxation from school worries. We are once more at the start of a semester so we must buckle down and re- linquish our memories of quiet- ness and rest to mathematics, physics, etc. In our trades precision is an outstanding fea- ture. Even so must precision be worked into our school duties. The faculty will again, with our full co-operation, attempt to enlarge our knowledge of their subjects. CREDITS EVALUATED The following evaluation of the Ford Trade School 8 credits for graduation from High School was agreed to by the Detroit High School principals. Every student of the Henry Ford Trade School shall be given a total of 100 hours' credit. These credits are distributed as follows; Subject Hour 8 Every Trade School student who wishes to obtain a High School diploma must earn sixty credits in addition to the 100 received here. These 60 credits may be earned by attending eve- ning school. G «USE® 1C ®VSUO This well-like} r •liked instructor of the Ford Trade School attracts attention ty his good-na. tured smile.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1936_____________THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE NEW CAPTAIN ELECTED VARSOTV SEASON ENDED eetheirmen (RETURN By winning five out of ten games against high school teams last spring, the Craftsman base- ball team proved they carried some stars, as these individual records testify. A1 Delaney led the way in team batting with an average of ..444, followed by Bill Borrell who, besides hit- ting at a .353 clip, claims the distinction of participating in the most games and batting more than a hundred times. Captain Charley Epps, besides being the team's ace southpaw-hurler was third ranking batsman with a lusty record of .342. Close be- hind was A1 Richards slugging catcher-pitcher-infielder who batted .339, and last of the big five was Bill Sonnenberg who walloped the apple at .304. There are seventeen letter- men and only five will not re- turn. Those who will not return are; Richards, Wisniewski, Piasecki, Barrell, and McGuire. Consequently, with Monks, Lasky, Kosmowski, Tuszynski, Hagen, Laginess, Delaney, Epps, Taylor, and Eichman to build a team up- on and with plenty of reserve material available for next sea- son, Coach Richards has hopes of even a more successful season. Captain Charles Epps who piloted the Craftsmen to a successful year in its in- itial season and hurled many of the team's twenty-one vic- tories will be relieved of his post by Eric Kosmowski next spring. Charles when not pitching, played first base and was the team's third leading hitter with an average of .342. He is known to be one of the team'8 timeliest hitters. At the right is Eric Kosmowski who will take over the post of ; captain of the -■ varsity next spring. Now a senior, Eric won the position by a scant margin of one vote over Bill Sonnenberg . who was last — year's first ® string catcher. Eric improve his playing and be suc- cessful at his new position. T S. BOYS TAKE FORST ON TEXAS LEAGUE The students representing the Trade School at the Texas Centennial formed a softball team which they entered in the Ford Building Softball League. The league was composed of boys from many different departments, most of the players being col- lege graduates or under gradu- ates from schools in Texas. After sweeping through the schedule with seven straight victories, the local lads were handed their first defeat by a collection of All-Star players picked from the remaining seven teams in the league. Despite three-hit pitching by Marvin Pushman the All-Stars won the exhibition game 2-0, scoring all their runs on three errors which were charged against the Trade School boys. The local team consisted of the following play- ers: G. Rowland, E. Onderko, M. Pushman, S. Danielson, J. Poppelreiter, K. Stoltenberg, E. Nulu, J. Broth, H. MacMillan, and R. D. Mitchell. The leading batters throughout the season were M. Pushman .400, E. Onderko .385, S. Danielson .358, and K. Stoltenberg .350. INTRAPLANT LEAGUE CLOSES Despite the fact that they were the youngest in years of experience, the two Craftsman teams, entered in the Ford In- traplant League, gave the oppos- ing teams a battle in every game played. The league was made up of six different Apprentice School Departments. One of these teams consisting of varsi- ty regulars and managed by Mr. Richards finished in fifth plane. The other team, managed by Mr. Bartholomew made up of B and C-Class boys finished in last place. The Apprentice Rolling Mill team, managed by Mr. Sec hr 1st, won the championship, winning thirteen and losing one. For this accomplishment, the newly crowned champions received Jack- ets purchased at the expense of the other teams. Next year Mr. Richards has hopes that both teams will be strengthened and will finish a- mong the winners with a winning percentage for the entire sea- son. At least they have had a year's experience. 1 ck: Wisniewski, Delaney, Lasky, Kosmowski, Eichman, Sonnenberg. Front: Taylor, Barrel, Epps, Mugerdichian, Monks, Richards (coach).

BOYS RELATE VARIED EXPERIENCE The Trade School boys who were at the Great Lakes Exposi- tion at Cleveland found many things to do during their spare time. This is what some say they did: Clarence Johnson: In Cleveland I was given a room with Carl Kulczycki. Put- ing it mildly, I spent about half of my spare time arguing with Carl. I also swam a great deal in the Y. M. C. A. pool but not while Carl was around. Reading books, taking sun- baths, attending shows, and vis- iting the Exposition occupied the rest of my spare time. Working in the Exposition was very educational and I en- joyed it very much. Fred Peterson: At Cleveland I spent most of my spare time eating, sleep- ing, reading, visiting the Expo- sition, and engaging in favorite sports. The remainder of my spare time was spent loafing and walking around the city. Robert Backoff: The majority of my spare time was divided between wander- ing listlessly around the Expo- sition grounds, attending moving picture theatres, strolling a- round town, and acquiring a sun tan on the roof of the hotel. I also spent seme time in the gym- nasium and swimming pool at a nearby Y. M. C. A. Elmer Hartwig: Most of my leisure time was devoted to activities at the Y. M. C. A., and looking over the Exposition. Some of the time, however, was spent taking sight- seeing trips, watching baseball games, and going to the movies. William Sagady: I attempted to learn to swim but the farthest I got was the bottom. I also tried to probe the mystery of microbes with a sec- ond hand microscope, which re- sulted in a mild case of eye strain. Carl Kulczycki: During the short time that we were in Cleveland we visited and saw many interesting people and places. Some of the people were, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, The Reverend Charles E. Coughlin, and the famous Marx Brothers. ZZZA ELOD EM EN (ED Not all of the Trade Schoo alumni have gone elsewhere for employment.

This scholarship will pay his tuition for five years re- quired for the bachelor of sci- ence degree and an additional year for the de- gree of master of science in engineering. The Judges on the scholar- ship committee were: F. E. Searle, superintendent of Henry Ford Trade School; G. A. Yerex, personnel director of Henry Ford Trade School; J. H. Wolfe, su- pervisor of the Ford Apprentice School; and E. H. Bailey, who represented the Artisan Guild. When notified of the award, Archie Quinn excitedly exclaim- ed, It's a great thing, and this scholarship award has given me the chance that I otherwise would not have had. Of course, a scholarship means hard work, but I think I am capable. I re- alize the trust placed in me and will endeavor to fulfil the scholarship's requirements to the best of my ability. Besides graduating from the Trade School and Ford Apprentice School, Archie also attended Southwestern High School in the evening for several semesters. The Annual Artisan Guild Scholarship is awarded every year through the auspices of the Artisan Guild by E. G. Lawrence, president of the Lawrence Insti- tute of Technology, to the Ford Trade School graduate whose work is the most meritorious. Watch The Craftsman for further information concerning how, when, and where to apply for the 1937 scholarship. Our Twentieth Birthday Now that we are twenty year8 of age, let us reminlsence for a bit. Henry Ford Trade School was opened October 22, 1916, with six boys and one in- structor. In 1931 the enroll- ment rose to 2800, with 135 in- structors . The school was organized to give boys an opportunity to help support themselves and retain their interest in education. Incorporated under a Michi- gan statute, the school is oper- ated as a non-profit enterprise. It has a floor space of about three acres set apart for its exclusive use. When the school was first organized, the boys spent time in the class and shop each day. Experience soon taught that a student accomplished more with one entire week out of every three spent in class work than he could when each day was di- vided between class and shop. Over a period of years the time estimates show that boys require on the average 25 per cent more time than that re- quired by skilled men. The spoilage averages less than 1 per cent. Anniversary Dinner Plans Ready Under the toastmastership of C. W. Avery, president of Murray Corporation of America, with W. J. Cameron as speaker and the promise of Edsel Ford to attend, the 20th Anniversary Dinner of Henry Ford Trade School will be held in the Aztec Tower October 22, at 6:45 p.m. After the program, which will consist of the dinner, Mr. Cameron'8 talk, and songs by the Harmonizers, there will be dancing under the baton of Gus Ritzmoore and the Ritzmoore Or- chestra. Tickets, which are $1.25 per plate, must be secured in advance and may be obtained frcm any of the following: A. N. Edel, J. H. Wolfe, B. C. Brewen, W. H. Moore, and E. H. Bailey. . 2 DENTIST RELATES HIS TRAVELS After returning from a rough ocean voyage during which he passed through the line of the recent hurricane, Dr. Robert G. Chambers, Trade School den- tist, docked at Montreal. Dr. Chambers had returned from a trip abroad where he visited Belgium, France, England, and Scotland. While tour- ing England Dr. Chambers visited the Ford Trade School in the Ford Plant at Dagenham, which is a small du- plicate of the Rouge Plant. There, the Trade School, al- though smaller, is conducted on similar lines to our own by William Atkinson, former in- structor here. Mr. Atkinson was recently requested by the Brit- ish Government to organize a training school for the Royal Air Force along the same princi- ples as the Ford Educational scheme. Mr. Atkinson appreciates the bound volume of The Crafts- man sent by John Onderko and de- livered by Dr. Chambers, and sends fraternal greetings to the staff and student body of the Ford Trade School. Dr. Chambers also visited the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh from which he gradu- ated before he studied and was graduated from the University of Michigan. He renewed many old acquaintances whom he had not seen for several years. Dr. Chambers has resumed practice and will be pleased to examine and consult with any boy requiring dental attention. At a later date Dr. Chambers stated that he plans to resume his an- nual course of lectures on oral hygiene. These will be illus- trated by slides, models, and dental requisites.

E. H. Stoelting Vol. 2, No. 2 Frl., Oct. 9, 1956 VISITCR SPEAKS Visitors are always welcome, particularly if they are inter- ested in us. P. M. Scott, first personnel director of Henry Ford Trade School, showed so much in- terest in our school during his recent visit here that we asked him to put hi8 feelings into word. Here they are. Some twenty years ago the writer had the privilege of helping in the formation of the HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL. At that time we were told by Mr. Ford to build a school that would take a boy, twelve or fourteen years of age, let him support himself de- cent ; learn to be a really first class toolmaker; give him a sound, workable education; and fit him to enter the economic procession equipped to hold his own in any company. We felt that it was a chal- lenge to the old foolish idea that a worker in a factory, no matter how skilled, highly trained, or well educated, was in some way inferior to his fellow who had a white collar Job. And my trip through the school the other day showed me how well and to what an extent that challenge had been met. Of course, we knew from the beginning that such an institu- tion as the Trade School was de- signed to fill a need, in fact, two needs-that of the boy and the other of industry-but even in our most optimistic thought, I do not believe our ideas went as far as the reality of today. Still though many more things are taught than in those early days, and the extent and numbers of the present school made me a bit dizzy. I was glad to recognize every one of the fundamentals upon which the school was founded, unchanged. The boys are the same, there does not seem to be any difference in the pep and enthusiasm they show, they and their machines are clean and busy. And when I asked you the percentage of scrap, I wish you might have seen your chest swell out as you answered Point nine five . This highly mechanized world of ours needs the type of scientific workman the Henry Ford Trade School produces, and it is mighty satisfying to know that the thing one has is the thing that the world wants and is willing to pay for. To my mind, as a result of broad ob- servation, the greatest thing that is built in the Henry Ford Trade School, is a pride of craftsmanship which makes for a sense of economic and social well being that the business or professional worker can never have. There is no better anchor in a world that is storm tossed on its voyage to better things, than a good trade well learned, with a will to work and a Joy in the working. The Trade School has made fine progress in these past twenty years, but I feel that it is Just beginning a career that will have a great and good in- fluence upon the thought and ac- tions of the boys of the future! inauimnG Pie-POMeft Here are some answers to last week's question, why do we wear skull caps?

The foundry ie one of the departments located outside of the B-building, operating in the Jobbing foundry building of the Ford Motor Company. The foundry plays an important part in affording practical training for boys in the mechanics of the production of castings. As many boys as it is possible to take care of are given from four to six months of this training, preference being given to boys specializing in foundry or pat- tern making. All work produced by the students is used in the various departments of the Ford Motor Company, nothing being made merely for practice. Many of the patterns, from which the molds are made, are made by stu- dents in the Trade School Pat- tern shop. The work done varies from small light castings, mold- ed on benches and poured by one boy with a hand ladle, to the large heavy floor molds, molded on the floor and poured with larger ladles. Under the direction of Anthony Cece and L. J. Jeska, his assistant, a dayT s work would include the following: First, the molding sand or heap sand, as it is commonly called in the foundry, is spread on the floor where it is mixed. Mixing includes tempering with water in order that the sand grains will hold together when rammed in the mold, and the adding of new sand when necessary to renew the strength; also the mixing of facing sand which is used to cover the pattern, heap sand being used to fill up the bal- ance of the mold. After the sand has been mixed, restored to its proper place, and the floor swept, each boy is given his pattern, or Job to ram-up with designation as to the number of castings required and advice as how to mold it, if necessary. In the molding and ramming-up of the pattern, the student places his pattern on a molding board and a metal frame known as a molding flask is placed around it. Enough facing been completed the top or cope half is rammed-up. First a fine parting powder is dusted on the parting and the top half of the flask, or cope, is placed over the drag half and located in po- sition by pins on the side of the flask. Wooden pegs of the proper size and shape are then located around the pattern to form the sprue or gate holes through which the metal is poured into the mold. Risers which serve to feed the casting as it shrinks while the metal is solidifying are also formed. When the cope has been rammed-up these pegs are withdrawn, the two parts of the flask separated and the pattern withdrawn from the sand. Sharp or broken edges (Continued on page 4) sand is then sifted through a fine riddle to cover the pattern then enougjh heap sand is sifted through a coarser riddle to pre- vent any hard lumps or scrap, that may be in the heap sand, from coming in contact with the pattern. The flask is then fil- led with heap sand and rammed to the correct hardness. The sur- plus sand is scraped off to the level of the flask. The mold is then vented with a wire to allow the gases formed, when pouring, to escape freely. After this a bottom plate is applied the flask turned over and the mold- ing board removed. Sand around the pattern is then smoothed down with a trowel or slick to form a parting. After the drag half ha� Core Making PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1556 UDCDCBnUU George F.

KROLL, VICE-PRESIDENT At the first meeting in Michigan of the Future Craftsmen of America, held in the Hotel Statler September 18, Robert Kroll, M-A-2, was elected vice- president. Although being elected as vice-president came as a sur- prise to Robert, he is enthusi- astic about fu- ture craftsman- ship. He per- sonally has been interested in a- viation as a hobby for more than three years and has spent some time in the building of mod- el ships. The purpose of this nation- al organization is to aid and encourage American youths in se- lecting vocations in craftsman- ship. The association provides opportunities for the develop- ment of social requirements and other cultural attributes. De- grees will be awarded for a- chievement in craftsmanship. In order to start a branch of this worthy organization in the Trade School, a meeting was held at which Walter Grunst and Waldemer Qoade were elected president and secretary respec- tively. John Onderko, librari- an, was appointed faculty advi- sor. A National Meeting will be held in Detroit on November 6 and 7. Boys from every state in the union will be present. Kroll OBSERVATIONS AS SUMMER STUOENT--Sidney Mead I am one of the hundred and fifty students who worked this summer in the Rouge Plant of the Ford Motor Company as a result of arrangement of the Company with our respective colleges and universities. We were taken in through the Henry Ford Trade School, wore its distinctive round badge with the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of the regular Trade School stu- dents. Among these was the privilege of working in several different departments of the plant, most of us being trans- ferred every three weeks. Many of us had never worked in a man- ufacturing plant before, cer- tainly few had worked in such a large plant, so this proved to be a very interesting and prof- itable experience for all. The experience was also profitable from a financial standpoint. All the students with whom I am personally ac- quainted are working their way through college by holding part- time Jobs.- Such students learn to live economically, to save, and to know the value of money. For them the work in the plant was an opportunity to save mon- ey for school expenses. Since most of them saved each week a- bout half of the twenty-four dollars earned, it Is evident that they appreciated and made the most of the opportunity.

Stoelting Vol. 2, No. 3 Fri., Oct. 23, 1936 A GREAT CARPET From all parts of the city of Detroit, and its suburbs, come boys of various types and nationalities, to this institu- tion of learning--Henry Ford Trade School. There are big boys, small boys, fat boys, and slim boys of numerous nationali- ties and environments. They come to study academic and trade work. Some will learn much and others little, depending upon the effort put forth. In the class room, they quickly adjust themselves to the school's rules and regulations. Friends are made; lasting friendships spring up. March- ing to and from class, they meet and exchange greetings. This gathering of students from all about the city of De- troit is similar to carpet mak- ing. The yarn is taken into a spool from different directions and woven together. The pupils of this school come from differ- ent directions and are woven to- gether. After a while the car- pet is smooth. The pupils soon adjust themselves to their du- ties. The yarn has many an un- even spot in it. So have the live8 of the pupils who attend this school. When we say, They come from all over the city, we speak the undeniable truth. Even a broken clock is right once a day. OBSERVATIONS AS SUMMER STUDENT --Sidney Mead (Continued from last issue) How the students who came here as strangers lived during the summer is an interesting story in itself. Some stayed at the Y. M. C. A. or roamed in private homes and ate out at restaurants. Some preferred to find board and room together. One group of five fellows I know rented a furnished apartment and did their own cooking. I guess they thrived upon it for they were enthusiastic about their plan to the end, and insisted that they thereby lived better and saved more than any other group. But the experience was prof- itable in other than a finan- cial way, both for the students and those with whom they worked. Here two groups, students and factory workers, between whom there is likely to be little un- derstanding, were brought into close contact. Further, the as- sociation was in the worker's own field where he feels at home, and this tended to offset the subtle distinctions which operate to make such a meeting unsatisfactory to both when it takes place in other fields. Because most of them were self supporting students they probably had more than average understanding of and sympathy for those who work with their hands. Even so, there is, many times, a feeling almost of an- tagonism between these groups since each thinks of the other as inhabiting a different world from his own and as having lit- tle in common. Brought into ac- tual contact for a season they find that in reality they have much in common and that each can learn from the other. They meet on common ground, for example, when they discuss their financial problems-- the problem of living most economi- cally, of saving the most they can out of the dollars earned— these problems are the concern of most people everywhere. Worker and student gain in mutual respect in working side by side for a period. We are likely to make a distinction be- tween the college student as a person training to earn his liv- ing through head work and the (Continued on page 4) The Joy Of Being Editor Getting out this paper le no picnic.

TYPIST’S RATES TABULATED Since the announcement, in the first issue of The Crafts- man, for student typists, a League of Inveterate Duffers ', has been organized. In case you don't know, duffer means non-ex- pert. Latest statistics show Mike Piacentino leading with a score of 66 words per minute, followed by Edward Piotrowski with 63, and F. S. Nicholson, drawing in- structor, holding third with an average of 54 words per minute. To Join the League of In- veterate Duffers , report to C. G. Rogers, English instructor, in room 9. Boys Receive Commendation Police Commissioner Heinie Pickert recently sent a letter of commendation to Elmer Benz- lng Jr., M-D-2, for the good citizenship displayed by the ap- prehension of a drunken driver who was leaving the scene of an accident. While returning from a the- ater Elmer and his companion, Bob Laity, saw an accident and observed the driver running down a dark alley. Elmer gave per- suit, while Bob notified a po- liceman, who, with Bob, found Elmer and the fugitive where El- mer had captured him at the end of a three block chase. The boys later appeared as witnesses in the court where the driver was convicted and sen- tenced. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1936 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Instructors Bowl For Recreation Early dusk of October 6 found 50 bowlers swinging into action, each attempting to come out of the initial dash of the Henry Ford Trade School Bowling League with a higher average than his friendly foe. These 50 bowler8, all of them Trade School instructors, were divided into ten teams and all were striving to capture the prize money offered for the highest score in the first single game. Every Tuesday evening until March 16, 1937, when the tourna- ment closes, these instructors will meet at the Argyle Recrea- tion hall, Northlawn at Plymouth, to carry on their friendly feud for bowling honors. With the prize money for the entire tour- nament already established at $489.50 each bowler feels that his evenings will not be spent in vain. At a meeting previous to the opening date the following officers were elected: Steve Chayke, president; Dale Apple- berry, secretary; Butler Brewen, treasurer. Below is a picture of the ten captains who are leading the bowler8. WHOSE TURN NEXT In the library show case lie two paddles--evidence that many graduates from 1922 to 1930 had the seats of their trousers dusted and rumors to the effect that they were well dusted too. To have their names placed on one of the paddles these graduates were obliged to allow Dr. Blainey, former first aid attendant of the Trade School, to wallop them three times with the 8hillalah upon which they had elected to inscribe their names. The paddles show that more than 400 graduates have lain o- ver a chair, holding to the low- er rounds. Among the names the follow- ing familiar ones are found: Douglas Souter, mill instructor; Fred Jones, apprentice school instructor; John Dobrei, book store cashier; John Onderko, li- brarian; and Joseph Coultier, apprentice school instructor. Students originated the idea. Night games do a few things to football. Once a University of Arizona player ran 60 yards for a touchdown and nobody saw him, the lights having gone out as he received the ball.

ABOUT LIBRARY BOOKS Once upon a time a library book was overheard talking, and this was what it said: Please don’t handle me with dirty hands; Or leave me out in the rain (books can catch cold as well as children) Or make marks on me with your pen or pencil; Or lean on me with your el- bows (it hurts) Or open and lay me face down on the table. You wouldn’t like to be treated so. Whenever you are through reading me. don’t turn down the corner of one of my leaves, but put in a neat little BOOK MARK where you stop.

There is much more head work done by a worker in a modern in- dustrial plant, and much more hand work done by the students than each is likely to give the other credit for. The brilliant young student who found himself helpless when confronted with the problem of translating a blue-print into an acuality carved in wood, gained in re- spect for the hand workers in the shop. Likewise the worker gained in understanding of and respect for the dealer in theo- ries , called a student, when he found that the latter had earned his own living for years, was quite apt in the use of his hands and usually a very practi- cal fellow.

I think one of them summed it up when he said to me, What this place needs Is acre school spir- it! What is school spirit to the college student?

Standing In Informal lines, waiting to get to the check-room, the guests' appetites were in an excellent condition for the hot turkey dinner that was served. No sooner had dinner been served than The Hannonizers sang a semi- classical number, Come to the Fair. GUESTS WELCOMED Then F. E. Searle, superin- tendent of Henry Ford Trade School, welcomed the guests. It is evident, said he, that you are welcome for we permitted you to purchase a ticket. He then spoke of the Trade School as an evolution or revolution of the educational system of the world. Following the introduction of P. M. Scott, F. W. Edwards, Tcm Watkins, J. Crawford, and Spike Deckard, Mr. Searle intro- duced C. W. Avery, toastmaster for the evening, as an individ- ual who was perhaps more active than any other chi the first board of directors of the school. LETTERS READ As toastmaster C. W. Avery read letters of regret, that they were unable to be present, from B. J. Craig, P. E. Martin, and Edsel Ford. Mr. Avery then introduced A. M. Wibel, member of Trade School board of direct- ors. Speaking directly to an attentive audience, Mr. Wibel de- clared, I am glad to have this chance to express my apprecia- tion personally to you, instruc- tors of Henry Ford Trade School, for the splendid work that you are doing.

There are six earned degrees which can be awarded by the lo- cal club, one honorary state de- gree limited to 1 per cent of the state membership, and one honorary American degree, lim- ited to 75 annual awards. Both the state and national awards will be competitive. The first three earned degrees are option- al and not necessarily consec- utive; however, the fourth, fifth, and sixth earned degrees are consecutive. These several degrees em- phasize, respectively, mastery of elementary process tools and materials; explanation in a va- riety of fields of craftsmanship; a hobby interest and amateur a- billty in a selected field; and three progressive degrees indi- cating progress in the skills SCHOOL PLAYS HOST The Future Craftsmen of America, an organization com- posed of a group of boys repre- senting nearly every state in the Union, are the guests of Henry Ford Trade School today. After their Friday morning's business had been discusse and disposed of, they were escorted from the Leland Hotel to the school in the Ford Motor Com- pany's private cars, where a planned program awaited them. They first viewed the Trade School, and then had luncheon at the Administration Building. Here they were addressed by James Humber stone, a Trade School graduate. The afternoon was finished by visiting the Mu- seum and Greenfield Village. and in technical knowledge of a trade.

He kept at it, and the result was one of mankind s im- portant discoveries. Many students are often prone to lay down the rod , so to speak, and quit fishing. Because lightning results aren't forthcoming and the way is lined with bumps and rebukes, they are discouraged and give up the fight. Such a course leads to one inevitable end--continued ignorance and darkness. Persistance and determin- ation to prove out, to seek, and to search, although under ad- verse conditions, is always ac- companied with the reward of real and true satisfacation. Don't grumble. Plug on. Cooperative Schools Twenty years ago on October 25, 1916 a new type of school came into existence. For the following twelve years students of Henry Ford Trade School enjoyed-the unique distinction of receiving money while attending school whether in class or shop work. In March 1928 Mr. Ford opened the Wayside Inn Boys' School on a similar plan at South Sudbury, Mass. This school places emphasis on Agri- cultural Work. The third school was started by W. T. Rawleigh, at Freeport, 111., in 1929. On ac- count of changes in the Rawleigh Company, this school was discon- tinued in 1933. The Ford Motor Company opened the fourth school of this type at Manchester, England, in August, 1930. It was moved to Dagenham in October, 1931. This school is directed by S. Atkin- son who was formerly a Trade School instructor at Dearborn. During 1930 the Russian Gov- ernment made an intensive study of the plan and the following year opened such a school at Gorky. This school was planned for 1500 students. The latest school is in Jamshedpur, India. P. N. Mathur, a Hindu, who was for several years a Ford employee and is now production manager for the Tata Steel and Iron Works, opened a Trade School in 1933 to accom- odate one hundred boys. Henry Ford Trade School, at Dearborn, now has an enrolment of 1700. More than 4000 graduates, now widely scattered, are active in many types of endeavor. The instructors and stu- dents wish to express their heartfelt sympathy to Albert Edel, assistant shop superin- tendent, in the death of his father, Christian Edel. With the exception of one or two changes, made by Hugh Miller, T-B-2, the following anonymous poem was found. This is Friday, which you know, Get your broom and don t be slow, Brush it well and brush it clean, So that no dirt can be seen. trwnjwExrxr wehc The subjecti of this week's Guess Who is a very neat and courteous gen- tleman.

Mr. Guess Who started working in the tool and die making trade at the small wage of one dollar a week. For 5 years he served as an apprentice tool and die make: in England. Perhaps you have heard his say, The only way to do a Job is to do it right. As a sport enthusiast, he not only watches but takes an active part in va- rious games. He has no hobby but travels extensively and is interested in seeing America. ROTATING TABLE AIDS BOOK ASSEMBLY | To facilitate the assem- bling of the thousands of Trade School textbooks, sold each month, a round, rotat ing-tq; table has been built. Following the suggestions of L. J. Croteau, auto mechanics instructor, and C. H. Bailey, shop theory instructor, Louis Liptack, drafting room instruc- tor, did the designing. By the old method of wall- ing around the table to pick u: the sheet s much time was wasted. Now assembling will be more rat- id, more accurate, and less te- dious. While standing in place, the boys, who assemble the sheets, will pick them up -£ the table top rotates. The table is strictly the work of Trade School boys.

Boys in electric drill re- pair, taught by Edward Stryker, repair approximately two hundred and fifty electric drills each month. Two types of drills and grinders, universal and hicycle, are repaired. The universal runs at 60 cycles; the hicycle, at 180 cycles. The electric drills are taken apart, deemed, interior painted, and worn parts replaced. They are then checked for speed, running ability, short circuits, opens, and grounds. DRILLS GO TO CRIB After being repaired, the drills are sent to the painters. Returning with bright, glisten- ing coats of paint, they are again checked by Mr. Stryker, assisted by the inspector. Then they are distributed to the cribs of the Ford Motor Company. P. 0. Philburn teaches the boys how to wind armatures and fields. They are wound by ma- chine, hand, and form. The wire used in winding the armatures and fields varies from No. 20 which is .031 thick to No. 36 which is .005 thick. After be- ing wound the armatures and fields are placed in an oven heated at 160° F. until the moisture is dried out. ARMATURES ARE BAKED They are then double dipped in insulating varnish and baked for twenty-four hours. The lathe department then receives the armatures and turns the com- mutators . When returned they are checked for short circuits, grounds, and opens. After pass- ing this inspection they are as- sembled into motors and drills. In the cord department, su- pervised by Louis Scott, the boys repair about one thousand cords and make approximately three hundred new cords each month. These are sent to final assembly, loading docks, tool and die room, and all cribs. They also repair cargo lights, bench lights, machine lights, and stand lamps. Kenneth Reber teaches boys how to repair l l2 to 3 4 horse- power motors. Special electri- cal apparatus, fans, heaters, sterilizers, etc. are also re- paired by this group. Guy Custer, in charge of E- lectrical Main- tenance, keep 8 all electrical e qu ipment, such as small motors, lights, start- ing switches, and all magnetic chucks in Henry Ford Trade School, in running order. RULES FOR SUCCESS 1. Detect and repress all useless bodily movements. 2. Give yourself, mind and body, to one thing at a time. 3. Acquire a self-conscious sense of your own self-mastery. 4.

CAMERON GIVES ADDRESS Then the speaker of the eve- ning, W. J. Cameron, was intro- duced, Mr. Cameron said the Idea of the school must be good for it has lasted 20 years, and In these modem times an idea must have vital qualities or it will fall by the wayside. With a genuiue enthusiasm he pointed out to the alumni that they are the key-men in this unsettled country of ours tor they have learned to combine physical and mental ability.

Later he was called back to Mr. Yerex s office where he met Peter Quinn, a Janitor, the owner of the billfold. With this dollar, remarked Mr. Quinn as he handed the bill to Carl, Buy yourself some candy. Carl said the dollar would go for a payment on his glasses instead of candy. Carl was asked why he did not keep the billfold. He said he would have had a guilty conscience the rest of his life if he had kept it. He further remarked that it would do Mr. Quinn more good that it would do him.

Almost every department in the Trade School helped in this work, because all the cutaway and assembling work was done by the Trade School boys. These display parts were sent to all Ford branches in the U. S. A. By completing a cutaway for the Rotunda in three days, the boys have set a new record in this kind of work. Math Course Popular More than 70 per cent of the men in the Dundee Mills branch of the Ford Motor Co. are voluntarily attending mathemat- ics classes. These classes are taught by R. H. Lutz, former apprentice foreman. Mr. Lutz teaches these men trigonometry out of textbooks procured from the Trade School. Seats for these classes were sent by George Wifling, sanita- tion department. These men make welding tools for the Ford Motor Co. They are attending these classes to aid in solving problems which arise at their work. BOYS PRESENT PAGEANT AT'FAIR GROUNDS Under the soft mellow ra- diance of vari-colored, modu- lating floodlights, and embel- lished in a brilliant array of multi-hued elf costumes, 250 boy8 of the F and G 0lasses crowned eight days of intensive training with a dramatic pageant introduc ing the Ford oar for 1937 to a packed coliseum of Ford dealers at the State Fair Grounds Friday, November 6. Marching to the melodious strains of Fred Waring's orches- tra, they first pushed various large-scaled replicas of V-0 parts up the circular, cream- colored stage, in the center of the Coliseum, to the brink of a pit in the middle of the plat- form around which were lined a ring of puddlers with long black paddles thrust downward, and who were stirring as smoke slowly arose. One by one the pieces were pushed or lowered into the pit. Then, with a stentorian blast, scattering the actors in all directions, a platform gracefully arose--bear ing the 1937 Ford V-8. SIGNS CARRIED Further performance con- sisted of the carrying,to a band tempo, of thirty-five mammoth signs up, around, and down the central stage, and around the ring of the arena, after which the signs were hoisted into the air by wires from above. The act was topped off by the igniting of a prodigious rocket, showering sparks over the entire setup, a thick cloud of smoke, and a glittering down- fall of silver paper circles, representing silver dollars. Included among those who viewed the pageant were Henry Ford, Edsel Ford, factory execu- tives, and officials from branches throughout the world, including England, Germany, and the Canal Zone.

By doing this each year they will make the letters awarded became meaningless. Next year, following the awarding of letters, do not buy one unless you have earned it. Wait until the next season and make an effort to earn a letter. Earn a letter and you will take your place among the win- ners of intramural letters rightfully. Play the game, and if you can't win a letter, don't buy one. Make wearing a letter represent effort. The Trade School Chapter of Future Craftsmen of America is now prepared to enroll new mem- bers. All Trade School students are eligible to enroll. In order to be a member it will be necessary to participate in one of several hobbies spon- sored by the organization. Leave your name and number at the library. Announcements of contests will appear later. Forty-nine bank books came in late. This means that those boys will not get thrift money for November, a loss of $98. Henry Ford Trade School will be in session on Friday, following Thanksgiving. CRAFT SPONSORS AND MEMBERS Praise School Following is a list of statements from members and sponsors of Future Craftsmen of America obtained while recently visiting here. The facilities for render- ing the many students of the Henry Ford Trade School a prac- tical. education are Impressive. I compliment the school on its remarkably well-balanced system of practical and scholas- tic education. I also congratulate it on having established a chapter of the Future Craftsmen of America. Paul L. Cre8sman, Chairman of the Committee of the American Vocational Association Henry Ford Trade School appeals to me as one of the most advanced boy's educational in- stitutions in our country. It is leading the way for all vocational training schools.’ Ernest R. Doll, Sponsor Post Intermediate School Detroit, Michigan I was greatly impressed by the marvelous layout of mechan- ical equipment, and the opportu- nity given the boys of Detroit. F. J. Renner, Sponsor Joliet, Illinois I never knew that the Ford Trade School could possibly be so large, and that scholarships could be given to students. Charles Kenward, member Gary, Indiana The Ford Trade School is one of the finest places I have ever visited. It not only ac- quaints the boys with industry but gives a great opportunity for advancement. Wilber Keahl, member Cushing, Oklahoma An organization such as the Ford Trade School is a very fine thing for any young man to attend. It gives him a chance to establish himself much better in life. Kenneth Jones, member Brush, Colorado By viewing the system of study, it can be readily seen that a student who completes such a course as is offered will be an accomplished worker. Chester Olroya, member Joliet, Illinois GKDEETCTC EWEHC Back in 1885—way down in Indiana, in a little country church, on Sun- day morning, a baby boy waa born. The lit- tle home in which his par- ents lived burned one cold early October night. The par- ents took what few things they were able to save from the burn- ing hcane and moved them down the road about half a mile to the little church of which the fa- ther was Pastor. On the follow- ing Sunday, our Guess Who waa born, the son of a minister, the grandson of a minister, and the nephew of two ministers. Golf is his hobby; he talka a better game than he plays. He believes you will always feel better after a smile than you will after a frown. He has been with the Ford Trade School since 1916, working for a few years as an inspector. Now he is in charge of a depart- ment that makes a product which is very useful in the rapid pro- duction of autcmobiles. The time spent in the Trade School has been enjoyable to him saying he appreciates the oppor- tunity bo work with boys. EDITOR'S MAIL Dear Editor: Why doesn't the Henry Ford Trade School give out dip lams to the graduates? Robert Benson and Peter Muitz The Board of Directors have never deemed it wise to give diplomas. Dear Editor: Talent is not only with our instructors, but also with us the students. We might brin out this talent by means of ar amateur contest. Regarding grand prize--I'm sure the winner would appreciate a place on our weekly singing programs, witl the instructors. Let's show our talent, boys, and prove to ever.1 one that we’re not only too and die makers.

In an effort to acquaint players who will participate in the Intramural Tournament with these changes, the revised rules are printed below. (1) There will be a con- centric circle 12 feet in dia- meter. This larger circle will be the same size as the circles around the free throw line and is to serve as a restraining line on center-Jump ball so that there will be less crowding and rough work among players in Jumping. (2) Substitutes may commu- nica be with members of their teams immediately upon entering the game. (3) It is not to be regard- ed as a foul if, while guarding a player in the act of shooting for a basket, the defensive player strikes the hands of the shooter. (4) Teams are allowed four time-outs during a game, instead of the three previously allowed, without infliction of a penalty. INTRAMURAL LEAGUE ©PENS In the newly organized In- tramural League, which opened Nov. 16, there are six teams, one senior and one Junior team from each section. The senior team is made up of only A and B classes, while the Junior team consists of players from the C class down. Each team has a 12 game schedule, playing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Mr. Richards coaches the W Section Srs. and T Section Jrs.; Mr. Bartholomew coaches the M Srs. and W Jrs. and Frank Muger- dichian the T Srs. and M Jrs. The Championship will be decided on a two game knockout system. All teams closing its regular schedule with .500 or better average are eligible for the championship. The following are the names of the captains of the teams: Robert Montovan, W Sec. Sr.; Maurice Baker, W Sec. Jr.; Herbert Roberts , M Sec. Sr.; John Groves, M Sec. Jr.; Will- iam Brida, T Sec. Sr.; and Fred Sutton, T Sec. Jr. There will also be a Junior class league organized for the players which do not make the Section team. All games will be played at the Miller School. W. F.

Drummond, Minis- ter for Education, New South Wales, spent three hours visit- ing the Trade School� November 4. Superintendent F. E. Searle is spending his vacation in Texas. Sam Langford was the in- structor described in last week's Guess Who column. He is 5 feet 85 inches tall and not 5 feet 2 inches as was stated. 'Fido Invades School Woof I Woof! Who'8 there? This is what the mongrel dog that recently visited the Trade School must have been saying as he sniffed tentatively at the students of the grinder depart- ment. It was here that he met Hugh Miller, T-B-3, who fondly held the dog in his arms several minutes. Later the dog was taken in- to the custody of Ray Steele, tool crib attendent, who got rid of him at the first opportunity. This opportunity turned out to be Henry James, grinder de- partment instructor. The kind- hearted Mr. James put the puz- zled mongrel on his shoulder, and gave him a tax-free ride on the elevator to the first floor. Looking at Mr. James one would think him a sort of a person who would use tact in such a predic- ament, but this is what he said, Go on! Scram! Beat it! Af- ter this dismissal, the dog pricked up his ears, stuck up his nose, and swaggered toward Coolidge Highway. All Mr. James got for his trouble was a dirty shirt and a doggy smell. Humberstone Talks To Group Craft8man8hip is the asso- ciation of art and industry, sa id Jams 8 Humber stone. Trade School aIilitmus, to the Future Craftsmen of America while at luncheon in the Administration Building, Friday, November 6. Mr. Humberstone pointed out that the organization, Future Craftsmen of America, would tend to put craftsmanship in the rec- ognized position that it once had. Dealers Royally Received One can hardly imagine the magnitude of work, material, and money necessary to provide such a reception as that which was given the Ford Dealers of Amer- ica two weeks ago. The State Fair Coliseum was completely decked out in a blaze of colors. The done of the building was covered with a billowy canopy of blue cloth, obscuring all raft- ers and outside lights. Above this canopy was installed the various complex equipment re- quired for the lighting effects, pulling up of signs, etc. It required the services of hundreds of men for a week-work- ing night and day to remodel the building. Props had to be made, lights and sound systems had to be installed, new interiors de- signed and set up. The huge center platform was designed and built--which alone required more than 200, (XX) board feet of lum- ber. The dirt floor was leveled and covered with clean sand. In addition, a complete heating system was installed in both the Coliseum and Agricul- ture Building. Appeasing the appetites of the thousands of dealers re- quired the services of fifty cooks and four hundred fifty waiters, 4,000 chickens, 5,000 pounds of lobster, 10,000 quarts of coffee, fourteen truck loads of silverware and eating uten- sils, 8,000 especially made stainless steel trays, thousands of bottles of milk, buns, pies, pounds of butter, salads, vege- tables, cakes, gallons of ice cream, and two tons of potatoes, to say nothing of the barrels of soup and ginger ale.

Graduate Sees Change Hardly a comparison, re- marked Thomas C. Barber (McGin- ty), 1921 Trade School graduate, on a visit here recently, when asked of the changes noted in the school since he entered about 20 year8 ago. Mr. Barber, who is now a sales engineer, fur ther related that when he started there was but a handful of boy8 with a few small lathes and a shaper or two. The requirements of the school are more the standards of a university now, he stated. Mr. Barber particularly fa- vored male instructors for teach ers. He said they had first- hand practical information on the subjects taught and brought out that the school experience was invaluable whether used di- rectly or otherwise. Students answer letters Since the beginning of the 1935 school semester, the A- class students under the super- vision of C. G. Rogers have beer engaged in answering letters re- ceived from India, China, Phil- ippine Islands, Australia, Ger- many, Italy, and various other countries. This class was organized to give experience to the students in writing letters and broaden their conception of the school as others see it. uMfsditfc tutent £ ©f ‘fjnrru, $Wd ?Trab Vol. 2_________________________ COMPETI TIVE JOURNAL FOUND IN MIDST A ’’Benedict Arnold has been discovered among the mem- bers of The Craftsman s staff. This person was formerly thought to be a reputable reporter, true to the honor of his paper, but the other day, he was caught ig- ncminiously distributing copies of another paper, the Chronicle, which, we have since learned, was formerly known as the Tough Guy8' Gazette. The sting of this reporter s traitorism turned into a severe bite when we found his name appearing in the Chronicle s mast-head as co- editor . Although the members of The Craftsman s staff are deeply hurt, they secretly admire the quality of writing displayed in the Chronicle; in fact, the faculty advisor himself was seen chuckling over its hand printed bits of humor. The Craftsman has placed the copies on display in the li- brary. Mechanic Turns To Sewing When a man bites a dog that’s news, but when a husky young tool and die maker Joins the Young Women1 s Sewing Club that’s more news. Steve Mihal- yfi, W-B-l, did Just that. The sewing club, which con- sists of ten members and meets from 7; 30 to 10:00 p. m. every Monday, was organized to sew for the needy of India. Since Join- ing the club, Steve has learned to make many stitches, some be- ing the lazy daisy, hem, and cross. He can darn socks, and make French knots. He is now working on a piece of stitching 11” x 16 called ’’The Lord Is My Shepherd-,1 Shall Not Want. ’’Despite the fact that I am the only boy in the group, he said, I like to sew. Dues are paid by each member to buy ma- terials . December 4, 1936 '775 WINTER ii The breaking waves dashed high On a stem and rockbound coast, And the woods against a stormy sky Their giant branches tossed. ---------s---------------------- This is how the breaking waves and dashing spray of Lake Erie and Ontario decorated the bow of Edgewater on its homeward Journey from Port Hope, Canada. The Edgewater and its sis- ter ship, the Chester, are two of the most modern canal boats in the United States. In going East their cargo consists of Ford parts; on the return trip sugar is the usual cargo. On this final trip, however, Capt. Ole Meling and his crew of twen- ty men were hauling phosphate. The boat is propelled by a steam turbine engine. Helpful Advice Don’t keep your bench so littered that it takes five to ten minutes to find some small tool you must have laid down. Don't try to do as little as you can for the moat you can get. Don't leave your mistakes for others to find; find them yourself. Don't say that is near enough . ___________________________No. 6 NEW DISPLAY EXHIBITS MECHANICAL MOTIONS To illustrate different, practical, mechanical movements to visitors as well as to Trade School students, the octagon- shaped, circular-moving, mechan- ical device, now on display in A. M. Wagner'8 shop theory room, was constructed. The display, which contains a motor, pulleys, etc., was de- signed and built by Trade School boys under the supervision of Marvin Pushman and Frank Lynn. There are twenty-four dif- ferent mechanical movements, all of which operate at the same time, as the octagon turret slowly rotates on its pedestal. A few of the movements exempli- fied are: rack motions, rotary engine motion, cam motions, pen- dulum clock motions, gearing motions (elliptical, scroll, and square). The educational display re- placed an older one which was difficult to keep in operation. The resistance from the various moving part8, which were mounted on a wooden backboard, caused pieces to become loose. Honesty Receives Reward A $5 bill was the means of proving the honesty of James Mc- Grath and Ernest Pensler, both of T-F-l. Recently, these boys found the $5 bill in the Commercial tool repair department. After turning the bill over to G. A. Yerex, personnel director, the boys awaited further develop- ments . On the afternoon of Novem- ber 10, the boys were called in- to the office where the money was divided evenly between them. The boys gave the money to their mothers. However, Er- nest's mother used the money for a payment on his bicycle, while Mrs. McGrath bought James a new sweater and a shirt. PAGE TWO THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1936 HYpt raflj8in n Published, by the Students of Henry Ford Trade School Dearborn Michigan WATCH THE FRACTIONS What factors are required to develop a good toolmaker? Many, yes, but you may be cer- tain that mathematics is a lead- ing factor. In the shop, work comes in terms of figures. Each semester every B-class student is required to attend Apprentice School, to enlarge his knowledge on the uses of mathematics. Before being clas- sified a fraction test must be taken. The fractions on the test are not complex but must be un- derstood thoroughly to get a passing grade. Students failing this test are required to take a course in fractions, eight weeks in length. This course is need- less if the student will only acquaint himself thoroughly with fractions beforehand. The pass- ing of this test is advantageous to the student for in the re- quired eight weeks he can be ad- vancing in the regular Appren- tice School work. Trade School students are learning more and more about fractions. In the last test taken, 9C$ of the students passed. A few years ago the percentage of those passing rarely rose above 20. Mathemat- ics must not be confused with something unapproachable, for in the words of John Wolfe, super- visor of Ford Apprentice School, Mathematics is nothing more than common sense I Editor-in-chief. .

Gas Invades School Is the war over? No, not mustard gas? What then...? When Louis Liptack, draft- ing roan instructor, discon- nected a few pipe fittings from an ice-box, which is being re- vamped into a paper dryer for the book store, a hidden gas be- gan its potential Journey of at- tempting to spoil turkey din- ners, served that day. The ice-box incident of November 24, remarked Mr. Lip- tack, brought to light a means of reviving a languid form. In the afternoon, there are always a few students and instructors that need bringing around, espe- cially after a turkey a la king dinner. If you can't move ’em, gas 'em. Following are statements from instructors and officials, telling how the gas affected them. G. A. Yerex: It felt very disagreeable, and didn't smell so good. W. H. Moore: It felt like no man'8 land, smelling old mustard gas. U. Lucas: I didn't faint or anything. R. J. Dale: Luckily I was explaining a drawing. I believe that was the reason the M-B-l class didn't smell much of the gas. I don't know whether my explanation neutralized or drove the gas out. D. L. Coleman: It didn't affect me a bit. C. P. Boehnke: It kept the boys from coming intc my room for awhile. CKUESS VWDHC This week's Guess Who was born in Michi- gan, educated in California, and disciplined in the U. S. Navy during the World War. He served 13 months as an electrician. Before serving in the Navy, he related that he was particular about his food, but while there he learned to eat anything--even beans. After the War his first Job was with the experimental engineering de- partment of the Ford Motor Com- pany. In 1927 he became an in- structor in the Trade School. He stands 5 feet, 11 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, is of slender build, and has dark brown hair which he parts on the left side. During his high school days he played football but now he reverts to more quiet forms of sport, such as hunting and fish- ing. Motoring is his favorite pastime. He usually spends the week-ends traveling about the countryside. BennettSends Thanks I received your letter and The Craftsman and would like tc thank you for your kindness sending them, said Quenten Ben- nett in his recent letter to G A. Yerex, personnel director. Quenten Bennett, a would-be member of last June's graduating class, is now convalescing free tuberculosis at the May bury San- itarium. He left the Trade School about eight months age and entered the Herman Keifei Hospital. Here he remained foi two months before being trans ferred to the Sanitarium al Northville. Since January 1, 1936, Ed ward Dey, grinder instructor has saved $99.25 worth of 193 quarters. Every quarter he gets he puts away in a bank for■ rainy day or something. Last year Mr. Dey paid hi taxes and bought his lady frien a present out of the 1935 quar ters he saved. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1936 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE EDITOR'S MAIL Pear Editor: This is a fine educational school. But, something is lack- ing. If we had a gymnasium it would be complete. Exercise would improve the work of boys and the school as a whole would benefit. Let's have visitors say that this school is a fine body builder as well as one of the best brain builders. Let's draw the school together as an institution from where some of the future citizens of America come, educated and wholesome in mind and body. A student and future citizen, John Fusoin, T-E-l Pear Editor: It has been brought to the attention of some Trade School boy8 that Keith Glassley, phys- ics instructor, is in need of boys who play bass instruments. In order to get an orchestra for this school we must have 'em. Come on you musicians; bring your instruments,and let's get started on an orchestra that we can be proud of. Siegfried Simrock, M-G-2 Dear Editor: Is it possible to get a two cent increase with only one A at the bottom of the report card? Can anyone get a nickel in- crease? --Miser It is possible to get a two cent increase with only one A at the bottom of the report card. Boys attending class can not get a nickel increase. Dear Editor: Are Trade School boys sup- posed to have homework in any classes? - -Unanimous According to G. A. Yerex, personnel director, boys are supposed to do all their work at school. However, if students Tail to do their class work, it should be finished at home. --------------------------------- Henry Ford Trade School Bowling League wishes to ex- press its thanks to Argyle Recreation and Coffin Nun- neley Lunch Co. for their kindness and generosity in a- warding turiceys for Thanksgiv- ing prizes.---S. Chayice, Pres. VARS1ITV ELECT CAPTAON Frank Mugerdichian, senior, was recently elected captain of the Craftsman basketball team, being the only student to earn a varsity letter in each major sport, basketball and baseball. Although he Is studying tool and die making, his real ambi- tions lie in the field of sports. This past season he played base- ball for the Panthers, senior Intramural cham- pions, besides playing with the varsity team and finishing as runner-up to the M-section batting championship. Frank expects to play at least part of next season with the varsity baseball team. He is now a senior and will probably re- ceive hi8 factory badge before another summer has passed. Craftsmen Down Ecorse High The Craftsmen, varsity bas- ketball team, defeated Ecorse high school team 19 to 13, Dec. 1, on the Ecorse gym floor. During the first and second quarters, the Craftsmen were constantly missing their shots. However, at the half, the local lads were on the long end, 7 to 6. The teams opened the last quarter with the score tied at 13. Combining speed and accura- cy, Robertson, Craftsman, re- ceived a quick pass under the basket and made the shot. Later Sutton and Robertson scored in rapid succession, making the fi- nal score 19 to 13. The Junior W-sect ion team with Maurice Baker as captain was deafeated last nigh 15-10. It was the first time a team captained by Maurice, either basketball or baseball, has been defeated in some 17 games. Intramural S tanding TEAM WON LOST PERCENT 1. M-Senior 2 0 1.000 2.

Tommy Waling, novice fly- weight, and Cosmus Barone, no- vice featherweight, two warriors from Madonna A. C., will be swinging their dynamite-laden flets to live up to their names as skilled fighters. Sammy Kuras is a youthful boxer who is making his first attempt in a major tournament. He fights under the Boys' Club colors. He has a lot of fight- ing spirit and is expected to go a long way in his division. Billy Carroll, lightweight, was runner-up in the C.

Woodcraft Experience From a class- of 4 or 5 boys the Pattern Shop in the main Foundry Building has been in- creased to the present size of approximately thirty-six boys. This department, now under the direction of Harry Westbrook with Albert Barke, George Lind- enmuth, James Allen, and Leonard Spaulding as assistants, handles pattern making and wood work. Wood working deals with making of precision tool boxes, tables, mop pail rollers, chip sticks, and any medium sized wood work required by the various Trade School and Ford Motor Co. de- partments. Patterns made in this department are small so they can be easily handled by the students. All blueprints used by the boys are the same as those used by the pattern makers in the Ford Motor Co. The boy who wishes to take up pattern work must have a knowledge of mould- ing, foundry practice, and be able to read a blueprint. The procedure followed by a student when given a pattern is as follows: The blueprint is taken to his bench and studied. He determines what size shrink rule to be used as each metal has a different shrinkage, also how much wood he will need. Af- ter cutting, carving, and the various operations necessary to bring the wood to the sizes re- quired, the parts are glued to- Finishing the Pattern Martin Fleming, '32, is a guide at the Museum at Green- field Village.

When completed this flooring will cover near- ly eight and one-half a- cres, more than twice as much as the space used by the Trade School. Teakwood is of a rich brown color, does not warp, split readily or sliver, has an even straight grain, and is easy to work. It con- tains an oil which re- sists the action of water and acts as a preventive against rust when iron is in contact with it. It also resists white ant8 and fire. The teak tree frequently attains the height of eighty to a hundred feet. The tree is re- markabke for its large leaves, which are ten to twenty inches in length and eight to fifteen in width, and so rough that the (Continued on page 2) Alumnus Is Penitent Following is a quotation from a letter recently received frcm a former Trade School stu- dent. I am returning this bit of tool8 I took when I was in the Trade School. I have recently been converted, and I feel that I must send this back in order to have peace in my soul. I am enclosing $5 for anything I have forgotten or lost or used. The tools have been re- turned to the departments from which they had been taken, and the $5 bill was put in the flow- er fund. DECEMBER 18, 1236 Drive Cautiously On Ice Says Croteau Drive more carefully than you usually do, stated L. J. Croteau, autamechanic instructor, when he was asked how to drive on icy roads. And by all means have your brakes evenly adjusted. This will help to prevent skid- ding. Following is a list of don'ts for driving on slippery roads: 1. Don't start up fast. 2. Don't have your tires too hard; if they are a little soft they will grip the road bet- ter. 3. Don't drive on street car tracks; they are very haz- ardous in icy weather. 4. Don't turn the front wheels in the oppoeite direction you are skidding; always turn with the skid. 5. Don't disengage the clutch when you are slowing dowr$ decelerate and apply brakes gradually. 6. Don't apply your brakes too quickly. ___________NO. 7 SUPT. F E. SEARLE RELATES VISIT TO MEXICO The thing that im- pressed Mrs. Searle and me most, said Supt. F. .B. Searle, who has Just re- turned from a vacation trip to Mexico City, was the dirt and lack of wa- ter. I don't believe the American people appreci- ate the comforts and con- veniences which they have. Describing a butcher shop which he saw, Mr. Searle told how meat was hung up, unprotected frcm dirt and flies. Outside of the shop, on a fence, hung entrails of cattle, drying in the sun. These were to be stuffed with sausage. He related that many old conditions still prevail, wcmen go barefoot and nurse their babies in the street. Mr. Searle went on to ex- plain that the Indian women wash their clothes in wooden troughs. After filling the troughs with water from the streams, they pound the clothes with a stone until they are clean.

Since the birth of Christ, Christmas has been celebrated to commemorate the birth of our Saviour. And, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary, His moth- er, and fell down, and worshiped him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts. These wise men started the practice of gift- giving at Christmas After the death of Saint Nicholas, who was always secret- ly helping the poor and needy, gift-giving became more and more popular until today it is the national institution that it is. Santa Claus is really only a spirit, but he is as real as any human being. This spirit lives in the heart of nearly ev- ery person, and every person who gives gifts secretly on Christ- mas Eve is a spirit-filled help- er of Santa Claus. May Santa live on for ever and ever to cherish and gladden the heart of every one. ---Roland Echols Graduation Rings Arrive The first group of B-class boys who made the required de- posit received their graduation ring or pin today. The boys have their choice of either gold, silver, or plat- inum. The rings come with either a red or blue stone, or else a solid back. Due to the fact that the quality of their article has met with the approval of the past graduation classes, the Wines Sport Shop is furnishing the classes with rings. Road Hog Has Nightmarf. The story is told of a driver who, on his day off, went hunting. A terrible storm came up. He looked about for shelter, but there was none. It began to rain in torrents, so he crawled into a hollow log. It fitted snugly. The rain lasted for hours, and the water soaked thru the wood. The log swelled and the hollow grew smaller. When the storm was over, the hunter could not get out. He stretched and strained to no avail; he was held tight. Like a drowning man, he saw his whole life flash be- fore him, especially his mis- takes. He realized what a traf- fic chiseler he had been—how he had speeded when he knew he might run down a child; how he had hogged the road; how he had woven in and out of traffic; how he had Jumped the lights and dis- regarded stop signs, endangering the lives of all his fellow mo- torists . And, believe it or not, when he saw himself in his true light for the first time, he felt so small that he crawled from the log without difficulty. Boys Visit Museum natives use them for sandpaper- ing. The museum flooring is be- ing laid in herringbone design of boards three inches wide by eighteen inches long. After sanding, oiling, and waxing, this floor requires very little attention. Teakwood is found in Burma, India, Siam, and Java, that in the museum having came from Burma. GEJEBE WEH© Mr. Guess! Who was born in ' South Zanesville, Ohio which, at that time, was inhabited chief- ly by Indians of the Shawnee and Wyandot tribes. He was the first white baby ever born there. His favorite sport is base- ball. I was Just a ham whc played on a lot of teams, he said, when referring to hie younger days as a catcher. Mod- el making is his favorite activ- ity. Previous to his entrance into the Trade School in 1927, he had been employed as a fore- man in the tool room. He was one of the first instructors ec- ployed after the Rouge division of the Trade School was opened. His height is 5 feet, 8 inches, and he weighs 160 pounds. He may be identified by his grayish, wavy hair. Every boy comes in contact with this gentleman several times during his stay in the Trade School. Supt. Tells Of Trip hour, could complete the work the Indian women, with their crude forms, are able to do in three days. As a souvenir Mr. Searle brought a wash trough home and suggested to Mrs. Searle that she could now sell her electric washer. The main obstruction on the road, remarked Mr. Searle, was the cows, burros, and pigs. He had to be constantly on the look- out for than, to avoid accidents. Hawks and buzzards were seen de- vouring the dead bodies of ani- mals which had been killed. The climate in Mexico if very even. The people are pleas- ant and courteous, althou rather indifferent to strenuous work. While the Searles were is Mexico City, the 26th anniversa- ry of the Rebellion of 1910 was being celebrated.

The Dallas group Tourney After Holiday Immediately following the Christmas holidays, preparations lor the Trade School Ping Pong tournament will be swinging into full progress. Vemie Richards, sponsor, will be prepared for the boy8 who have shown interest this year While the gymnasium at Miller School is being pre- pared, sport officials issued a friendly warning to those who will participate this year to be prepared for keen competition. Students were advised to prac- tice on the dining room set dur- ing the Yule holidays. Showing flashes of unusual- ly good, early season form, the Craftsman varsity basketball team has outscored and outplayed each of its five opponents. Coach Vernie Richards has a large group of players fighting for positions on the varsity squad, and with seme Junior Craftsmen positions still open the boy8 are playing at top speed in all the early season clashes. The Craftsman will probably enter into a class B league again this year. Last year's squad fought its way to the fi- nals in class B tournaments and were barely nosed out in a thriller. With a year's experi- ence behind most of the players on the 8quad, Coach Richards hopes for a repeater of last years successful basketball team. The varsity has beaten Messiah Church, 39-29; Ecorse High, 19-13; Delray, 39-25; Bor- den Creamery of Highland Park, defending o' ass B champs, 23- 9, and Dearborn Hawks, 22-16, in turn. Pacing the Craftsmen in scoring is Capt. Frank Muger- dichian with 39 points, closely followed by Hilton Robinson, 34, and Pete Quinn, 22. M-Seniors Victors Having staged an up-hill fight through the whole game, the M-section senior basketball team nosed-out the T-section quintet by the score of 18 to 17 in a scheduled intramural tilt at the Miller School gymnasium. With less than ten seconds to go, the T-section team was leading 17 to 16, but before the game ended their opponents cashed in on a long pass from Stanley Noyewski to Nick Swizow- ski who shot the winning basket. Harold Hoffman was the high point man in this thrilling bat- tle, scoring twelve points for the M-section team.___________ INTRAMURAL STANDING TEAM WON LOST PERCENT 1. M-Senior 4 0 1.000 2.

PU€S ELOMOINATED After fighting his way through three lightweight elimi- nation bouts in the Diamond Belt, George Bajas, W-B-4, watched his title dreams shatter when he lost his semi-final bout to a more experienced opponent. George's first two bouts ended in knock-outs while he re- ceived the nod in his last elim- ination bout. This advanced him to the quarter-finals where, after three fast rounds, he cop- ped the duke with a strong fin- ish only to meet his conqueror in the semi-finals. Other Trade School students who entered did not fare as well. Heading this list Tommy Waling, W-C-l, entered the open fly- weight division but had to with- draw when a infection forced him out of training. Herbert Schilk, novice mid- dle weight also of W-C-l, suf- fered a broken nose while train- ing and was forced to with-draw from competition. After winning his first two bouts by decision, John Marrenilli, W-B-4, who fought as a novice lightweight, had the misfortune of drawing for his third bout Danny Brown, finalist. Johnny lost the nod after three close rounds. An injury suffered while winning his second bout, forced Sam Kuras, W-A-l, to with-draw. Sammy won his bouts handily but a deep gash above his eye could not be mended in time for him to continue his winning streak. Cosmus Barone, W-A-l, after scoring a spectacular first round knock-out in his first bout suffered the same fate in the second round of his second bout. Ping Pong Tourney Opens Entries for the Trade School Ping Pong Tournament will be accepted in room 6 between 10:30 and 11:30. Boys over 16 will enter as seniors and boys under 16 as Juniors.

With both teams finding the loop hard to connect with, the score was tied at 3 to 3 at half time, but both teams found the basket more frequently during the second half. The varsity squad paced by Capt. Frank Mugerdichian and Hilton Robinson, who each scored slx points, tied the score and forced the battle into overtime. They were unable to keep pace with the Turners who man- aged to score a single basket to capture the decision. VARSOTV'S RALLY WHINS Coming back strong in the last quarter the Craftsman, led by Capt. Mugerdichian and Peter Quinn, completely outplayed and outscored the All Saints Alumni Quintet 31-25, Monday, Jan. 4. Leading at half time 21-15, the All Saints Alumni five put a scare into the varsity but could not stop the aroused Craftsman attack in the last half. Once the lead changed hands the Craftsman never were headed and steadily piled up an advantage which they did not relinquish. HOW THEY ST A N D | TEAM WON LOST PERCENT 1. DeLoche 26 16 .619 2.

T rade School Has Large Assembly Of Small-Tool Grinders In the industrial world, the grinder is one of the most important machines. From a very crude machine operated by hand, it has been developed until it is now capable of great automat- ic accuracy, which is demon- strated in our Trade School. After a few weeks of instruc- tion, students can grind work accurately to .0001 of an inch. In the Trade School we have one of the largest assemblies of grinding machines for small tools in the Ford Motor Co. This department is under the su- pervision of Herschel C. Bearden and Henry James, assistant su- pervisor. Various Divisions The internal grinders, taught by George Slingwein, are used for accurately finishing At work on the Internal Grinder round holes, either straight or tapered, in such parts as gears, bushings, cutters, etc. At work on the Surface Grinder The surface grinder, a ma- chine used for grinding flat surfaces, is of two distinct types, the horizontal spindle and the vertical spindle. Com- plicated precision surface grinding is taught by Edward Dey. Semi-precision wet surface grinding is taught by Elroy Deszell on the Blanchard, Ring, and Norton grinders. Mr. Deszell also has charge of the 13 B S grinders. These machines are used for grinding broaches, fac- ing cutter8, grinding internal and external tapers, etc. The universal grinding ma- chine used for grinding cutters, reamers, drills, and face grind- ing is taught by Ladd McIntyre along with the Norton grinder on which punches are usually grounc The cutter grinder, taught by Roy Nichols, is used for sharpening reamers, drills, taps, and all kinds of milling cutters. The centerless and plaii grinders are taught by Ira A McKay. The centerless grindei is widely used in the autcmoti? industry. It can be fed eithei by hand or automatically. Thif machine can grind straight oj tapered work accurately an sv iftly. The plain grinder ii used for grinding the outsid only of straight or taper� cylindrical work.

Chapters Meet At Lansing Five members of Henry Ford Trade School chapter of the Fu- ture Craftsmen of America, Waldemer Quade, president; Robert Kroll, vice-president; Walter Grunst, secretary; and J. J. Onderko, faculty advisor, at- tended a state meeting at Y. W. C. A. building, Lansing, Michi- gan, January 23. Special committees were formed for drawing up a creed, constitution, and insignia. Robert Kroll was a member of the creed ccnmittee while Waldemer Quade, Walter Grunst, and John Onderko were members of the con- test committee. Earl Bedell, director of vocational education of Detroit, in a speech on craftsmanship premised to have published a handbook containing the creed_, constitution, insignia, and oth- er important information con- cerning the Future Craftsman of America. The purpose of this nation- al organization is to aid and encourage American youths in se- lecting vocations in craftsman- ship. The club provides oppor- tunities for the development of social requirements and other cultural attributes which bene- fit youth. Students Study Photography Picture developing and printing are being studied by the photography class, which has teen in session four weeks for each section. 0. R. Scott, director, plans to teach each student to arge and reduce pictures ae soon as dark rocan facilities can e arranged. g Meetings are held from 3 to o'clock two evenings of each ek for the students that are in class. To aid in their study fcach of the 32 members has pur- chased a book. School Presents Diplomas For First Ti me The Trade School has never awarded diplomas. In a previous issue of The Craftsman, a stu- dent inquired as to why not, and a vague answer was given to his question. Five boys, all of the W- section, Charles White, Eraraette O'Rear, Vagn Nielsen, Charles McWhorter, and Max Theis, didn't deem finality to this answer and so took it upon themselves to circulate a petition among their classmates. Having obtained 54 signers, the boys presented this petition to Supt. F. E. Searle, who laid it on his desk and ut- tered the simple statement, ’’Well, we'll see.” Upon returning to class again, permission was given the group to go ahead with their plans, and the result was that Eugene Adams, senior, was found to do the engraving. The docu- ment has been set-up, reduced to size, printed, and will be pre- sented to the graduating stu- dents at the dinner-dance, Feb- ruary 6. Alumni Holds Donee The first annual Henry Ford Trade School alumni dance, with ’’Walt” Schuster and his Texas Centennial orchestra providing the dance melodies and Rosemary Calvin contributing the vocal numbers, was held at the Grande Ballroom, Friday, January 22. Graduates and students were brought together and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The dancing Interspersed with special entertainment lasted from 9:00 p. m. to 2:00 a. m. Favors and many noise makers were distributed. It was announced by the a- lumni chairmen, James Stewart, William Howard, Peter Quinn, Thomas Kelley, and Arthur Williams, that 650 tickets were sold. Graduation Dinner- Hop Held February6 Once again plans for the graduation dinner-dance have been completed. A report from the A-class presidents that nearly all the tickets are sold Indicates that this function will be well-attended. Following the 6:30 dinner, Supt. F. E. Searle will give a talk. Then, for the first time in the history of the Trade School, diplomas will be a- warded. After the presentation of the diplomas, specials in song will be rendered by a quartet from The Harmonizers. Dancing will begin at 9:00 o'clock, music being furnished by John Matyus and his Lawrence Technonlans. During the inter- missions of the dances the Ford Mountaineers will sing. Remember the date, Saturday, February 6, at Aztec Tower. Tickets may be purchased from the A-class presidents or at the library. Students See Hydraulic Press To gain information regard- ing the importance of hydraulics in industry, D-classes under the supervision of Keith Glassley, recently took trips to the Spring and Upset building of the Ford Motor Company. The students watched a huge hydraulic press forge six-ton blocks of white-hot steel into various shapes. The great pres- sure exerted caused scaly oxide formation, clinging to the steel, to burst, emitting flying sparks in every direction. This hydraulic press can exert a maximum pressure of 1000 tons, the press head piston be- ing twenty-one inches In diame- ter. A booster pump has a pis- ton seven inches in diameter. Water end. oil acted upon by live steam creates the tremendous pressure.

It may seem strange hut there have been cases in the past when students have received a not-too-gentle Jarring of their senses because of the misinterpretation of this sign by scane thoughtless lad. Aside from the safety fea- tures the congestion caused by such acts adds as a detraction to the school. Pull,don't push. Vote Intelligently At the beginning of each semester A and B classes elect class presidents who have impor- tant duties to perform. This semester establish a precedent by electing students who have initiative, are agres- sive, and have good Judgment. Don't elect hastily; have the best to represent your class When a man is guided by reason and the rights of others not 8imply what he desires to do, but what he ought to do-- then the man will make friends and these friends are bound to help him. Good breeding consists in how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other verson.—Mark Twain. Weaver Demonstrates With Liquid Air Open mouth8, and the si- lence that pervaded the atmos- phere were indications that the students who were assembled in Don Weaver'8 chemistry room were not disappointed in the results of the liquid air experiments. Mr. Weaver, chemistry and physics instructor, astonished the students by plunging a hot dog into liquid air and removing it, frozen hard and solid enough to make it break like a piece of china when hit with a hammer. A look of amazement spread over the features of most of the students when Mr. Weaver hammered a nail into a board with a banana. The banana was held in liquid air for a few minutes. Other demonstrations given included the boiling of liquid air in a kettle placed on a block of ice. The liquid air was 312° F. below zero and the ice block was 32° F. Although Mr. Weaver froze a variety of materials in Just a few seconds, he was daring enough to pour liquid air on his tongue without any apparent in- jury to his taste buds. After his experiment he ad- monished them, Don't you try it. Orchestra Members Play For Community Singing The orchestra, conducted by Keith Glassley, physics in- structor, is beginning to show results. Members haver been playing at the community singing held in the cafeteria every Thursday morning. January 14. Robert Gibson, M-F-2, played a violin solo, Waltz , and received such an ovation that he returned and played Country Gardens . He was ac- companied at the piano by Bob Henry, M-B-3. January 21. Robert Kurz, W-B-l, ren- dered Repasz Band on the ac- cordion, and was forced by the ovation to return and play Shoe Shine Boy . January 28. Steve Mlhalyfi, W-B-l, and Leonard Carrette, W-B-l, played a violin duet, with Walter Maus, M-D-2, at the piano. GGJEETCTC SWEHC Mr. Guess Who was bom in Detroit. His first Job was in the Pingree Shoe Factory about 25 years ago. About three years later he learned toolmak- ing in the S. A. Machine Co. C. E. Sorensen's brother was half-owner of this shop. The man pictured above has been with the Ford Motor Company for 20 years, the last 10 of which have been spent in the Trade School. Fishing, both in winter and summer, is his favorite activ- ity. His prize catch was a black bass weighing five pounds, 12 ounces, which he landed two years ago. The Trade School has few smaller men. He is five feet, four inches tall, and weighs 122 pounds. Because he has a fine sense of humor, the boys working for him are seldom reprimanded. His department is an invaluable aid to the machine work of the school. Three members of the Trade School quartet have been se- lected, Hugh Miller, bass; James Heard, baritone; Robert Skuse second tenor. C. G.

Tournoment In Progress The first round of play in the Ping Pong Tournament finds Archie Coffman leading the Jun- iors and John Gilchrist on top in the Senior League. Archie is somewhat pressed for the leadership by the spec- tacular playing of Roland Beu- tell who has emerged victorious five times out of a possible six matches. John Gilchrist leads the Seniors with one victory and no defeat. Most of the action in the Senior division was carried on by John Skutnick, participa- ting in four matches, winning three and losing one. The tournament will contin- ue until players in both Junior and Senior divisions have been eliminated to the finalists. Players will be eliminated after they have dropped three matches.

In the opener, the Juniors paced by Jimmy Stevens, high point man with six points, nosed out the determined and fighting Giants quintet, 23-17. Out in front at half time, 10-7, the Junior varsity played fine defensive basketball. This coupled with fine passing per- mitted the home lads to tally thirteen points in the second half while the Giants were gar- nering 10 points. Outstanding among the vic- tors were Capt. Fred Sutton, Eu- gene Humen, and Archie Coffman, who scored four points each.

Department Aids Safety By Repairing Goggles The Trade School goggle de- partment, under the supervision of Harry A. Lawson, repairs 2000 goggles each week. In the shop, goggles play an important part in insuring safety and protection to the op- erators of shaper machines, grinders, chippers, In the pour- ing of metal, and countless oth- er Jobs. To keep these departments well supplied with good goggles, ten boys, all fourteen years of age or under, are constantly busy. They first examine the gog- gles for damaged parts. Then those parts are repaired, or if broken they are replaced. Two types of laminated lenses are used, clear and amber. These are ground with grinding can- pound and polished with rouge on a machine especially designed for that purpose. Next the gog- gles are assembled, cleaned, and sterilized in cresylone to kill harmful bacteria. They are then dried and inspected. After care- ful inspection they are shipped to a stock roam where they await their turn to be sent out to per- form their function—guarding the eyes of the workman. Fractions Scores Computed Of the 246 students who took the Apprentice School frac- tion test recently, 11 per cent attained the mark of a hundred and 18 per cent failed the test.

We also were able to help our parents by being less de- pendent on them, helping them financially instead, for which Creed Of 'Don'ts' As Guide To Jobs The creed of don'ts re- cently prepared by Dr. Niles Carpenter of the School of So- cial Work at the University of Buffalo may contain worthwhile advice to all graduating stu- dents. His creed is: Don't forget--your f irst Job is a continuation of your education. Don't expect a high wage at first. Don't forget you must never stop learning. Don't oversell yourself to yourself. It's better to be a (Continued on page 2) they also are very grateful. It all sums up to one thought.

Some of our number will proceed in- to high positions; others will not. But wherever we are let ( us resolve to live so that Henry Ford Trade School will be proud and pleased to have such graduates. n During the past years, the instructors have been our friends and advisors. They have worked with us faith- n fully. Therefore, we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to them.

You left an ugly scratch in the surface of the snow. Others saw you fall, but you were not dis- couraged. You regained your feet, went along making more footprints in the snow. So it is with life. If you want to climb, you must walk--make tracks. Although you may slip or fall, don’t get discouraged and sit still. Get up; go on.

He crawled through a hole, 1 foot in diame- ter, in a trans- former and in- serted one 3 4 inch bolt in the proper place so that the cover could be bolted on. _ After this Rolance Antilla transformer was completely as- sembled, it was discovered that one bolt had not been put in place.

Grade 9A is comparable to the D-class in number of hours spent in school. The English test given to each student at the end of the semester has no influence on the grade of the student. It is merely to measure the amount of improvement in each class. The students having the highest scores in each class last Class semester are: Name Score A Winfield Nagle 159 B Clifford Laginess 168 C Edward Piotrowski 171 D William Boghian 171 E Keith Saren 166 F Joseph Browne 151 G Eugene Binecki 147 Leach Talks On Lincoln Moved by the greatness of Abraham Lincoln, Frank Leach, T-C-l, gave a fifteen minute ad- dress before eight hundred even- ing school students of North- western High School, Tuesday, February 16. Frank is a public speaking student under Prof. Houghton of the University of Wisconsin. Evening Enrollment Higher Approximately 175 students in the Henry Ford Trade School attend evening classes at the various high schools. One year this enrollment stood at 148. The following list shows the number from each class that were attending evening school during the last week of our se- mester. G - 10, F - 16, E - 28, D - 42, C - 31, B - 30, A - 18. the 9A grade in the high school School Enrollment Shows Increase The present enrollment of the Henry Ford Trade School is 1770 students, 70 more than the normal enrollment has been for the past four or five years. With the opening of the new se- mester, 300 boys were O.K.ed and entered in the lower classes. This replaces the 169 that were graduated fr . he A-classes. There are 500 o , the waiting list, of which only a few can possibly hope to be enrolled. These boys rarie frcan more than 56 different hools, with the Condon Intermediate, Lowrey Intermediate, and the Highland Park Junior High sending more than any of the other schools. The increase of enrollment is due to the fact that more work is being sent to the Trade School shops, thereby making it possible for the enrolling of additional students. Class Stages Mock Trial A mock trial and suit over an accident case was presented by the boys of the W-A-l class during their Economics period. The attorney for the plain- tiff, Harry McFalls, presented three witnesses, Fred Mortimer, Robert Edwards, William Leach, and the plaintiff, Alvin Kaake, all of whose stories the counsel for the defense found to contain flaws and contradictions.

Feb. 26, 1937 Small Fry We Greet Ye; Work Hard; 11 Pays Again, as alway3, the time has come when we should and will say hello to the so-called small fry . This semester we have a fine selection, and they look like the type that will in every way possible better the school. Most of them have shown their worth at their former schools, and as a tip , (this is for the students only) whether your past record has been good or bad you should try to better it. In establishing yourselves keep in mind that Supt. F. E. Searle, G. A. Yerex, personnel director, E. Y. Peterson, shop superintendent, the instructors, and the boys who have been here a year or two are all for you, and they expect the best you can give them toward either keeping the school at its present stand- ard or, if possible, bettering it. But above all, don't tar- nish its present standard. Leisure Time How shall we use leisure time to the best advantage to ourselves and country? No bet- ter answer can be found than that expressed in the old word derived from the ambling Irish Pony--the Hobby. It recalls the pleasant diversion of wandering in other fields, or as Einily Dickinson once wrote: There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away. A hobby takes our minds away from the cares of idleness and the days of toil. Call it what you will--vocation, escape, creation, relief, relax- ation, or hobby--it has the same meaning in all languages--out- let. Keep Walls Clean Have you noticed the writ- ing on the walls in the lavato- ry? It seems to be the aim of many students to select these walls for their nameplate. Said inscriptions bear out this evi- dence. If you will only stop to think about such nonsensical ac- complishments you will realize the folly in them. This is some- thing that can be stopped. Will you please stop defacing these walls? Sprinklers Keep Vigil Silent, unseen, unheard, un thought of, a multitude of careful watchmen keep tireless vigilance over the domain of the B-building. Of the twenty-five sprin- kler systems in the Rouge Plant, nineteen are in the B-building, one in the Administration Build- ing, two in the Trolley Pole Building, one in the west side of the Paper Mill, and two in the southwest side of the A- building. The heads on these sys- tems, the most important part, have a soldered link of Wood's metal over the water outlet. This link melts at 165° Fahren- heit. Directly over this link is a deflector which distributes the water properly, 60$ up and 40$ down, to cover a space of a- bout 8 feet on the ceiling and floor. The water pressure is kept at 70 pounds per square inch which gives a flow of 48 gallons per minute, until a fire is re- ported. Then the pressure is boosted to 100 pounds, releasing a flow of 58 gallons per minute. The head of the sprinklers are attached to pipes connected to the main water lines. These lines have an outside emergency valve and connections to which hose 2an be attached. CSUIEEE «a V EHO Mr. Guess Who , a native of Germany, is the father of seven children, six of whom were born in Germany jnpiM and accompanied 'fir KTfwf to 9) f 'Jmi(Mf nited- States in 1923. Two of his sons are graduates of the Trade School, both working for the Ford Motor Company. Weighing 215, standing 5 ft., 8 in. in height, he is a rather stocky built fellow, hav- ing frosty hair, blue eyes and ruddy complexion. His stockiness does not prohibit his participation in swimming and diving. He spends many a week-end camping and fishing. He learned his trade in Germany at the age of 14. The 3hop hour8 were from 6:00 a. m. to 7:00 t . m., except on Monday and Tuesday evenings when he at- tended school from 6:00 to 8:00 p. m. He also attended school on Sunday after church. The on- ly free time the apprentice had was Sunday afternoon during which he played soccer—Ger- many's national game. He detests profane language and when he hits his thumb with a hammer, he merely says, Darn it. Having been a contractor before he came to the Trade School, Mr. Guess Who is al- ways dreaming of his greatest ambition—to be a builder. The Nation Survives On January 20 the country was without a president for 2£ minutes. According to the Con- stitution and authorities, the President's first term expiree at 12:00 noon.

College Credit Given For Apprentice Course In a previous issue E. M. asked if high school credit is given for Apprentice School mathematics and drawing. Since that publication John Busman, Apprentice School in- structor, received a letter from an Apprentice School graduate who states, I received full credit for all work that I com- pleted at Fords. I am. starting in on solid analytic geometry, also carrying descriptive geom- etry and physics B C which are mechanics, heat, and sound. Mason Williams, who wrote the foregoing letter, has Just enrolled in Tri-State College, Angola, Indiana. Mason received credit for the following in the Apprentice School: Slide rule and application logarithms - 8 weeks; prac- tical shop algebra (elementary advanced) - 48 weeks; col- lege trigonometry - 16 weeks; plane analytic geometry - 40 eeks. According to Mr. Busman several students have received from 22 to 32 credit hours at ayne University for their Ap- prentice School work. Mock Trial Held which withstood the attacks of the attorney for the plaintiff. The Jury, consisting of Robert Kurz, Richard Morris, Billy Antal, Leonard Carrette, Paul Beyer, and Jerry Dobson, was out two minutes. They re- turned with a verdict of not guilty. George Petzer, Apprentice School instructor, presided as Judge, while Eugene Quinlan acted as the Court Clerk. The record of the case was obtained from R. E. Bell who witnessed it in Judge I. Eugene Sharpe 8 Court of Common Pleas. Sanitation A Factor Sanitation is one of the main factors in the Trade School cafeteria. The paper plates are untouched by human hands until you, yourself grasp them. More than 5000 pieces of silverware are used daily. These are washed in an electric washing machine in a solution of tri-soda and dried by hand with spotless white towels. How A Story Gets Into The Craftsman How does a story become part of The Craftsman? To answer this question a story in the present issue, One On G. A. Yerex, has been asked to re- late its travels. From now on the article is speaking. ”W. H. Moore, transfer crib, while looking for a boy’s card in the file exclaimed, 'Here's a boy who was born February 29!' That was my beginning. Mr. Moore then sent the fact to Clifford Laginess, editor-in-chief. Clifford assigned me to Robert Hennessy, a reporter, who wrote about me and gave me to Clif- ford who checked me for grammatical construction and accuracy of fact. Finding a few errors Clif- ford returned me to Robert who made all corrections. I was then typed and spaced by one of the two typists; John S. Nemeth, T-D-l, or William Boghian, W-C-l. Having been typed I was filed for future use. In the meantime a picture of the boys con- cerned in me was taken by 0. R. Scott, Craftsman photographer. My photograph was then placed on the copying camera and copied in preparation for the photo-me- chanical process of offset printing. On Tuesday of the following week I and many other stories were selected for publication. We were then typed on an electromatic typewriter. This type of work was done by Paul Beyer, John S. Nemeth, or William Boghian. The next day Edward Vic- tor, senior, printed the head for me and my friends. My page was now given to Albert Giasson, photographer, who photographed and reduced the page. The next day Frank Pittel, T-A-l, fitted the half-tones in the negative of the page. The negatives were then fastened to- gether . Then the negatives were given to Karl Horvath, photoen- graver, who transferred them to the metal plate used on the mul- tilith. Today, the day of publica- tion, Isaia (Red) Petovello, multilith operator, printed ap- proximately 3000 copies of The Craftsman. In the afternoon The Craftsman was folded on an elec- tric folding machine. The paper was then distributed by Joseph Gahry, editor of M-Section, who attended class this week. Wanted: One typist from M-Sec- tion. Apply to C. G. Rogers, English instructor, room 9. A Scotchman was leaving on a business trip, and he called back as he was leaving: Good- bye all, and dinna forget to take little Donald's glasses off when he isn'a lookin' at any- thing. Ohio Sundial PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1937 EDI TOR’S MAI L Answer8 to questions asked by new students. Not to be read by anyone else. Why can't we begin working on the trade that we want as soon as we come into the Trade School? The school feels it is bet- ter for a boy to secure as broad an experience as possible. Later he may specialize in Ford Apprentice School. How long doe8 it take one to learn a trade in the Trade School? One cannot ’’learn” a trade in the school. This will re- quire several more years of ex- perience. Four years of general training in Henry Ford Trade School followed by three years in Ford Apprentice School should equip a student to meet most of the problems arising in his chosen work. Is it permissible to chew gum in school? Gum chewing in class is bad manners and is not per- mitted. What is done with the gum after its use in the shop is really the important question. How often do we get report cards? Three times each semester. When do we begin to study drafting? The first day a student attends class. How many instructors and boys are in the Trade School? There are 25 class instruc- tors, 84 shop instructors, and 1770 boys in the Trade School. Are the things the boys make in the shop made use of or scrapped? Everything is used unless spoiled. In 1936 students spoiled only 1.04$ of 1,100,000 hours of tool work. At what age are boys trans- ferred to the Ford Motor Com- pany? Between the ages of 18 and 19. Does the Trade School give ---------------------------------r diplomas? Yes, to those who complete their academic training with satisfactory marks. How are raises in scholar- ship given? Increases are based on in- dustry marks. A B average gets one cent increase per hour; A average, two cents. Can we take any course we want or are they assigned to us? Class work is uniform. Shop work is individual. The student is placed in as many de- partments as time will permit. Do graduates always go to the Ford Factory if they have good marks? If they wish. Why are the two dollars which is to be put in the bank held back if one doesn’t bring his bank book in on time? Checking the bank book is our only proof that previous amounts have been properly used. Can a boy go to college from the Trade School? The Trade School course 1b considered to be equivalent to 100 high school credit hours 60 more are needed to graduate from high school. A high school course must be completed before entering college. How do the grades run In the Trade School? Can they te compared with public school grades? Boys in the Trade School are classified by age rather than by the grade in which they were in public school. Is there a bank in school, and can one put his money in it? No. The thrift fund must be deposited in a bank you ee lect. The school has an Invest ment account and will accept (lr even dollars) any amount up tc one third of each scholarship Interest is guaranteed at the rate of 4 per cent. The rate paid in 1936 was per cent. Is it possible to get stu- dent bus cards? Bus cards are issued by G A. Yerex, personnel director.

Waling Loses To Urso The fate of the fistic god provided youthful Tom Waling his severest test when he drew as his opponent, Jimmy Urso, defend- ing Golden Gloves Open Flyweight Champion in his semi-final bout in the tournament. Casting aside his knowledge of the fact that Urso had twice captured the Golden Gloves title besides the Diamond Belt Crown, and was runner-up for the fly- weight berth on Uncle Sam's Olympic team, Tommy made things interesting during the three rounds he faced the veteran Italian boxer. The decision was the third Tommy has dropped in eleven bouts. He hopes to face his conqueror in the C. Y. 0. and square his accounts in a deci- sive manner.

Time For Making Fender Dies Reduced The making of fender dies has progressed amazingly since the day of the Model T when it took a skilled diemaker approxi- mately one year to shape a fend- er die. In that era all the die work was done by hammer and chisels, being later replaced by the air hammer, which, though faster, was harder to operate and caused frequent discrepan- cies. The big step forward in die making came with the intro- duction of the Keller Engraving Machine. This machine can make a die accurate within a few thousandths of an inch. The en- graver decreases the former amount of hand labor on a die eighty-five to ninety per cent. Let us follow the production of a fender die. Wood Model Made A wood model made according to the designer's blueprints is taken to the wood pattern shop where a male pattern is made from it. At the foundry a plas- ter of Paris female casting and a rough male casting are made from the wood model. After a rough female casting is made from the plaster of Paris cast- ing, the first wood model is placed at the top of the en- THE CRAFTSMAN One On G.A. Yerex R. McGrail W.

However, their ages must be overlooked as they are doing their Jobs very well. Although Robert and William are only four years old, they are virtually very grown up, but a bit out of proportion accord- ing to vital statistics. Ordinarily the age required for entering the Trade School is 13. But both students were en- tered at the tender age of three. Due to the fact, how- ever, that their birthdays occur on Feb. 29, every four years, which by the way is Leap Year, both boys are now really 16. graver with the rough casting immediately below. The cutter on the engraver follows the path of a very sen- sitive electric contact which follows the shape and contour of the wood model producing an ex- act duplicate on the rough cast- ing. The finished product is then double-checked with a tem- plate . Ground to Fit At the spotter the male die is covered with red lead, matched with the female die, and ground until a perfect fit is obtained. Then the thickness of the metal is ground from the sides of the female die so the punch will touch the bottom of the female die. After the oper- ation the die is pronounced finished, the complete Job in four to six weeks. Approximately the same op- erations are followed in produc- ing all dies.

The manipulator, which will be used with the Morgan press, handles the forgings like a huge pair of tongs, and has a capac- ity of 75 tons, whereas the old type manipulator had a capacity of only 3 tons.

EDITOR'S MAIL Dear Editor: How many cylinders did the first Ford have? In what year was it completed? The first Ford had two cyl- inders. It was built in 1893. Are school bags allowed in the Trade School? 1946 No. They scratch the walls when passing to and frcm classes. How long can one stay out of school during the summer, be- sides the three weeks with scholarship? Just Wondering Three weeks is the longest time granted. Is it possible for a boy that was bora in Canada to enter the Trade School? 1185 Yes, if he is otherwise eligible. Math Book Used In Many Schools Practical Shop Mathema- tics , a book written by John H. Wolfe, supervisor of the Ford Apprentice School, and Everett R. Phelps, of Wayne University, is being used in many schools and colleges throughout the United States. This mathematics book is the only book on the market that includes a treatise on compound angles. The chapter on compound angles is classified into defi- nite types and according to the authors makes this treatise al- most as simple as the subject of plane trigonometry. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Phelps are also the authors of a Natu- ral Trigonometric Functions book, used by all Trade School students studying trigonometry. Fixture Saves Labor An economical fixture, the only one of its kind in the Ford Motor Company, is being used in the Trade School Trolley Depart- ment for broaching flats on bushings.

Brewsters Down Varsity The Craftsman basketball team was nosed out 26-21, by the undefeated Brewster Center team at Kronk'8 Community House on Wednesday, March 3. The Craftsman was the first to score but soon relin- quished the lead to the fast- stepping colored five. Playing inspired basket- ball, the varsity held Brewster scoreless in the third quarter to cane within three points of their astonished opponents. Brewster played slightly better basketball in the last quarter, however, to win, 26-21. Captain Mugerdichian was high for the Craftsman with seven points, but Robinson, of Brew- ster, led both teams in the fray with nine points.

Third Floor Shaper Department Thirty shapers, two pla- ners, three slotters, and six tool grinders make up the equip- ment of the third floor shaper department,which is supervised by Thomas Crowley and his assist- ant, Paul Sie- gert. The shaper is used princi- pally for pro- ducing a flat or plane surface. In the shap- ing of a rectan- gular block, which is the most common type of Job done on the shaper, the thickness is shaped first, next the width, and then the length. Usually, the first assignment a boy receives upon entering this department is the operation of a shaper equipped for cutting the ends of rectan- gular blocks. Then comes the Thomas Crowley Anthony De Podesta, M-A-l, is the boy at this shaper, and is machining the end of a bar which is in a vertical vise. operation of a plain shaper equipped with a standard vise for squaring Jobs to thickness and width. The universal shap- er, equipped with a swivel table for cutting angular surfaces, is operated only after enough ex- perience is gained on the plain shaper. The more skilled stu- dents are assigned to work on the slotters and the planers. Of the two types of shap- ers, plain and universal, the latter of which there are thir- teen, has an advantage, for the table can be tilted to 15° and swiveled through an arc of 180°, thus making it possible to ma- chine angular surfaces. At all times, while oper- ating a shaper, goggles are worn for safety's sake. The impor- Lester Leith, senior, who Is a descendant of the Sioux and Chippewa Indian tribes, and has lived on the range most of his life, is the operator of this planer. He is machining the dove tail of a milling machine table. Lester came to Detroit May 2, 1936. tant tools used in this depart- ment are the solid square, for checking the squareness of a Job; parallels, for supporting the work squarely in the vise; hold-downs, for clamping the work to the table; dial indica- tor, for setting up the Job; and bevel protractors, rules, mi- crometers, and gauges for meas- uring and checking the Job. Many mechanical devices, used in various Trade School and Ford Motor Co. departments, are produced in this department: Dolly blocks for body bumping, taper gibs, various clamps, tool blocks, etc. After a Job is completed and checked by either Mr. Crow- ley or Mr. Siegert, it is in- spected by Inspector Robert Eisenhart, who sends it to the main Trade School Clearing House where it in turn is sent to other departments for subsequent operations.

Much to the surprise of John, who thought it was Just another story, H. C. L. Jackson, of The Detroit News, published it in his column, Listening In On Detroit , Saturday March 12. Well! Perhaps to some people it was Just another story, but to Mr. Jackson, the individual style used by John was commend- able. __________________________NO. 13 Alumni Gives Party For Varsity Powers To Speak Henry Ford Trade School Alumni Club is giving a Dinner- Dance in honor of the Craftsman Basketball team at the Aztec Tow- er, 7:30 p. m., Friday, April 2.

Stoelting Vol. 2, No. 13 Frl., March 26, 1937 Don't Let Up According to classroom in- structors' reports, when stu- dents reach the A-class, they usually branch Into two groups. The first group consists of the students who have been Just getting by in their previous classes, but suddenly buckle down and do the best work they have done since entering the Trade School. The other type of students is those who have been doing good work right along, but upon reaching the A-class decide that they know all there is to know and can't be taught anything else. This type of student uses the A-class merely as a stepping stone to a diploma. We hope you won't be dis- appointed. Last semester sev- eral students failed to receive diplomas because of unsatisfac- tory work. But, on the other hand, there are certain students who have always been doing good work and will continue to do so. That is the group you should try to belong to. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, A line of cars winds slowly o'er the lea; The pedestrian plods his absent- minded way, And leaves the world quite unex- pectedly. --Boston News Letter EDITORS MAIL To The Editor: Are Trade School students permitted to go through the Foundry building on their way home? William Broas No, nor any other building. To The Editor: What five boys have been in the Trade School the longest? Of the students who were enrolled in 1931, the following boys remain: Arthur Williams, Nicholas -Tregubenko, Bert Bacon, Vincent Kennedy, Ralph Schwindt, Keith Kennedy, Robert Stevens, and Peter Ponta. (More next issue) To The Editor: Can a Trade School student receive high school credit for geometry taken in the Apprentice School? We suggest that you consult the principal of the high school where you intend to receive your diploma. ________________ Trade School Faculty Ranks High At Wayne U. Dr. Waldo E.

E. H. Stoelting Vol. 2, No. 14 Fri., April 9, 1957 Strenuous Attention Merits Rewards Attention, strenuous at- tention, is the most valuable mental power a human being can acquire. The wool-gathering sluggish mind is wholly inca- pable of this strenuous atten- tion, said Charles W. Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard College. Students who have gained this power seldom find great difficulty in their work. Ob- stacles which they meet are over- come because they have acquired and cultivated a keen, dear- th inking mind. They are capable of giving undivided attention to explanations from their instruc- tors. Through this strenuous attention they are more able to solve problems, whether they be in academic or trade work. The student with the slug- gish mind has a hard time get- ting by. He has not learned to apply hinself to a task, to con- centrate upon one thing; he of- ten finds hinself in deep water . To get on the road to suc- cess discard mental laziness and become the master of your mind. The morale of each indi- vidual would be improved if he might have at least once or twice each week the thrill that comes from a consciousness of worthwhile achievement. EDITORS MAIL To The Editor: Why aren't Trade School students allowed to go to the lunch wagon? Students aren't allowed to go to the lunch wagon because a sufficient lunch is provided. The refuse from the candy bars, etc., would litter the school. Also, it is against the rules to eat in the classrooms. To The Editor: What is the flower fund? The flower fund is an ac- cumulation of money, frcan dif- ferent school activities after all expenses have been paid for the purpose of buying flowers in case of death of a student or instructor. To the student who inquired about diplomas: You will have to see the office to obtain your informa- tion. Continued frcm last issue. Students still in the Trade School who entered in 1931 are: Vincent Lonero, William Snith, Willy Nielsen, Thomas Welsman, Edward Victor, Keith Kennedy, and George Rowland.

Nicholson, drawing instruc- tor, found a first tenor. So now, we have a student quartet. The boys in the quartet are Louis Paganini, first tenor; Robert Skuse, second tenor; Vaughn Heard, baritone; and Hugh Miller, bass. The quartet sings on Thursday mornings in the din- ing room. The boys had experience in singing before coming to the Trade School and, for the most part, have determination to con- tinue with their vocal work. Louis, while in grammar school, sang in a glee club. His ambition is to become a radio soloist. He has not studied voice, believing good voices are Louis Paganini Robert Skuse inherited and not cultivated. For two years at Grosse Pointe High School, Robert sang in a glee club of sixty mixed voices. Although it is not his ambition to take up singing as a profession he likes it very much. With three years' training, Vaughn has hopes of becoming an opera singer. He sings in church choirs, lodges, and wher- ever there is an opening for am- ateurs . During the Christian Youth Program, which is heard every Wednesday night over station WJBK, Hugh is often heard sing- ing solos. He also does choir work. Every Monday morning he sings at the religious services held in the Trade School.

Students Enter M.I.E.S. Contest Three Trade School stu- dents, members of Future Crafts- men of America, will compete to- day with boys from other voca- tional schools in three contests sponsored by the Michigan Indus- trial Education Society meeting at Grand Rapids. Ralph Johnston, senior, will compete in the board sawing contest. Frank Leach, T-C-l, will participate in an extempo- raneous speaking contest. Elmer Benzing will try for honors in proof reading. These students were conducted to Grand Rapids by J. J. Onderko, librarian. Messrs. F. E. Searle, R. B. Teeple, and Keith Glassley, mem- bers of M.I.E.S., are also at this meeting. There is a possibility of some boys loosing their three- week vacation with scholarship because of negligence in de- positing their thrift fund. Survey Locates Grads A survey recently made shows that of approximately five thousand students who have at- tended Henry Ford Trade School for two year8 or more, 1749 are still employed by the Ford Motor Company in the Dearborn District The following list shows where they are: 847 tool and die, 41 electrical, 18 power, 48 drafting, 17 laboratory, 310 production, 160 machine repair, 29 foundry, 52 Dearborn, 39 Ad- ministration Bldg., 52 instruc- tors, 17 sheet metal, 21 inspec- tors, 9 bricklaying, 15 stock- men, 16 welding, 5 crane opera- tors, 17 laborers, 27 scattered. Included in this list are: 16 foremen, 8 on B-salary roll, 92 on C-salary roll. While 41 graduates are in the various laboratories, only 17 are in the main laboratory.

IS Frl., April 23, 1937 Don’t Blockade Hall What is the attraction that draws such an increasing number of students to a position in front of the bulletin board? It doesn't seem to be the articles on the bulletin board, for hard- ly any students are seen scan- ning the board. Due to the limited space for passage thru the hall, any person trying to pass thru the hall finds it blockaded. This blockade would undoubtedly give a bad impression to a visitor, visiting the school at a time when the hall was blocked. Let's live up to the repu- tation given our school by such a noted person as P. W. Dwyer, Engineering Editor of The Found- ry Magazine, who said, I con- sider Henry Ford Trade School the best school for boys in the United States. This reputation can be upheld by keeping the halls as open as possible, in the morning and at lunch time, and by orderly passage from class to class. How To Win Friends Watch your step. Last week fifty instructors purchased How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Nov;, the names of this fif- ty can't be divulged, but it can be told how you can spot them. If some one, all of a sud- den, takes a keen interest in you, he has a book and has read pages 83 and 93. Again, if some instructors seem so glad to see us that they almost Jump out of their skins they are endeavoring to make a good impression; turn to page 98. That's where they got the idea. The writer could have cited the other four of the Six Ways to Make People Like You but the librarian demanded that the book be turned in. Now, this paper does not condemn the purchase of such a book, quite the contrary. The psychology used in this book is good common sense. Much has been in use for years. Old King Akhtoi said one afternoon, four thousand years ago: 'Be diplomatic. It will help you gain your point'. A. R. Gasser of the book store is willing to order more of these books if the demand is great enoughs Bowling Closes Successfully The first bowling league of instructors has come to a close. The president, Steve Chayke, say8, The league has been more successful than we had expected. A fine spirit of friendly re- lationship has been established among the fifty or more who took part. This proves that our in- structors can play together as well as work together. This friendly spirit among the in- structors will no doubt bubble over onto the students, thereby creating a spirit of oneness. Talents Are Commendable Recently more than sixty students participated in the Trade School's first amateur contest. So what? Noteworthy talent was un- covered. This talent should be nurtured. But the Trade School has no facilities to develop, and train all students with special abilities. Each should strive to find a worthwhile place outside where he can give expression to his aesthetic in- terests. Better late than never is not half as good as Better never late . CtUCEE £WEMC The subject of this issued Guess Who was born in New Zea- land in 1887. A year later he was taken to Ireland by his fam- ily. He served his blacksmith apprenticeship in Ireland, hut did not practice his trade until he came to the United States in 1911. This man served as a cor- poral in the Royal Canadian Dra goons during the World War. His favorite sport is soc- cer. He was very adept at this game and has represented Ireland in International competition. He came to the Ford Motor Co. in 1919 and in 1923 was transferred to the Trade School Shop. This gentleman is 5 ft., 10 inches tall, has gray hair, and weighs about 175 lbs. Triumph Of An Ideal' During the boyhood trial and tribulations of one known to all as Henry Ford, there was es- tablished within his minds eye the picturization of the horse- less carriage. The boy Ford, while gol to and from a little countr; schoolhouse situated in Inkster Michigan, would stop by an old- fashioned wagon shop. There would gaze in astonishment an- in wonderment at the wagon 1 construction. Presumably, mediated there on his great in vention to be, the Ford car. --George Wheeker, Alumiu FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1937 TEE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Crone Lifts Loads Two hundred tons is a hefty load, but this is the actual tonnage handled by one of Ford Motor Company's largest cranes. Electric traveling, over- head cranes are inspected daily under the supervision of F. J. Dimmer. The smallest crane, two tons, is located in the Glass Plant; the largest, two hundred tons, known as the stripper crane, is in the Rolling Mills. Each crane is equipped with two motors. One drives the erane on the tracks; the other la used for hoisting. A hoist- ing motor is equipped with a ftual current, one a series cur- rent which provides a continuous current and is used when hoist- ing, the other a shunt current ■hich is provided to divert a part of the current and is used rtien lowering. If this shunt current were lot provided the load's speed fould increase as it is lowered, throwing the load out of con- trol.

Autobiography Of One Who Knows I was born in a furnace, and sent out to be hardened by the world . After I had been hardened, I was placed on a waiting list, to await the call of my career. I had not settled down long when the call came from the Henry Ford Trade School demanding me because I was what the school required. The Trade School reception was dull, not a brass band in sight, no crowds of people were flying pennants to welcome me. Only a few per- sons endeavored to make me at home. Just the inspectors and clerks consoled me in my hour of woe. I was given a number, 0. K.'d, and sent to a depart- ment where I was clamped between two cruel points and revolved till I became dizzy, making the rest of my life hazy. All I can now remember is humming of mo- tors, screeching of cutters, and splashing of oil or soda water. Suddenly all was still; then I heard remarks passed about me, saying I was finished. Oh! No, my dear reader, don’t believe it, for I am Just starting on a use- ful career. Who am 1, you ask? I am Ju3t a commoner, nothing more than a bar of triple A steel. Amateurs Hold Contest M-D-2, singing Rainbow on the River were tied for first place in the M-section amateur contest Friday, April 9. Steven Tomae, M-A-l, acted as Major Bowes. The audience was ushered to reserved seat3, which cost one cent. One dollar and seventy five cents were col- lected. The money will go for prizes for each of the winners. Robert Henry, M-A-l, pian- ist, and Frank Winn, W-B-l, were given honorable mention. L. J. Croteau, auto mechan- ics instructor; C. R.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN Survey Shows Need For Apprentices A committee on Apprentice Training in Detroit has recently conducted a survey which shows that the manufacturers of De- troit need more than 3,300 new skilled workers annually. This number, representing five per cent of the total skilled workers, must be compen- sated for and the committee ad- vocates trade schools to train apprentices in all skilled trades. Two-thirds of the boys in Detroit leave school before they graduate fran high school and they too realize the neces- sity of a thorough grounding in the elements of the trade they wish to enter. Following is a list of skilled trades prominent in De- troit and the workers in each: Machinists 28,577, tool and die 16,060, electrical 6,975, forging 3,600, welders 2,676, sheet metal workers 2,579, mill- wrights 2,361, pattern makers, 1,621, molders and founders 1,400, and woodworkers 805, which give a total of 66,654. Nine Hove Perfect Scores Of the 187 students who made the Honor Roll recently, nine achieved the rating of all A s on their report cards. These nine students are: Clarence Strong, Frederick Mortimer, Joseph Grill, Leonard Ricketts, Robert Bennett, Bruno De Franceschi, Clinton Miller, Richard Wehrmeister, William Brade. built specif- United States was built in B-Building Was Used To Build War Boats Crane-Way Used As Assembly Line The crane-way, which divides the Trade School, is what remains of the final assembly lines for the building of Eagle Boats. These boats, made for the United States Government, were used as subma- rine chasers. During the World War the government let the leading manufac- turers bid for the building of these boats. Mr. Henry Ford's bid was accepted because of his su- perior knowledge of production and fast assembly. Approximately six months after the Navy gave its order, the first boat was launched July, 1917. B-building, ically for the Navy Department, six months. It covers approxi- mately 13 acres. There were three assembly lines, the one mentioned above being the middle one, with 2,000 men employed on each. At the outfitting docks 6,000 more men were employed. Boats were started on spe- cial flat-cars. It took three days to make one boat, one being completed each day. Seven boats were on a line at a time. In one month eighteen boats were built. This established a new record for fast assembly. In four months forty-three were built. The Eagle Boats were then shipped to the launching slip, Just south of the Trade School, where the flat-cars were lowered into the inlet to launch the boats beside the outfitting docks. At these docks all quipment, including one three inch gun forward and one Y-gun aft, were put into place. The Y-gun was used to throw depth bomb charges overboard. The first five boats were sold to Italy. Students who have tool checks on Will Call” are re- quested to call for them as soon as possible as there are about 1000 in the tool cribs. pull Team work It's the steady of all together that wins. Library Notes A new set of Britannica Encylopedias of the latest edi- tion was received on March 16. This set contains twenty-four volumes, each volume having a thousand pages.

You Judge for yourselve and see if they did. Ferand Bertonille won three awards for penmanship at the Thayer School. Art Talmage, who plays in the Trade School orchestra, played in two orchestras before entering the Trade School. Jackson Allmendinger' s hob- by is collecting old guns. Bill Masterson has won two letters, one for track and one for demonstration of gymnastics. Two gold medals have been won by Lester Thomas for swim- ming. The Alumni Club Dance will be held Friday, April 30, at the Grande Ballroom, Grand River at Joy Road. Tickets nay be obtained from the alum- ni committee and the book store. Howard Rumpatsy's hobby is collecting watches. Andy Bumba won the school spelling bee at Morley School. John Elesdean won a Yo-Yo contest in 1936. Horseback riding and aero- plane building is Theodore Lie's hobby. Wesley Gillies won a base- ball glove in a pie-eating con- test. Anthony Cece, instructor in the Jobbing foundry, was the Guess Who described in the last issue. Cor r e c t ions In the last issue we failed to mention that Ford's Little German Band played at the Din- ner- -Dance given by the Alumni Club in honor of the Craftsman basketball team. Also, Mr. Guess Who was born in the house where Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule and not the spinning wheel as was stated. English Students Select Most Popular Book A survey recently made in- dicates that 1,696 books were read in the E-class during the past term. The students were requested to select the best book read during the semester. Fourteen students chose Call of the Wild by Jack London. This book is an old favorite, having led all others for several years. The five books most fre- quently read are Call of the Wild by 77 boys; Lad, A Dog , 67; Adventures of Tom Sawyer , 67; Treasure Island , 50; and High Benton , 39. The five boys reading the greatest number of books are William Ransome, 39; John Let- ters, 37; Robert Hoffman, Carter Goulding, and Kurt Wendel, 25 each. __________ Origin Of News When the first newspaper appeared in England it was cus- tomary to print the points of the compass at the top of the papers, to indicate that occur- rences from all four parts of the world were recorded. Before very long, the publisher of one of the more progressive papers rearranged the letters symbolic of the point8 of the compass in- to a straight line, making it News . Later every newspaper publisher decided to follow his precedent. Orge Protects Students Alack and alas, every grain of dust from the grinding ma- chines has the spirit of wander- lust but such can not be for long. An efficient orge in the form of suction tubes inhale the dust that otherwise may enter the nose, mouth, and lungs, and exhales these particles into collector bags outside the Trade School.

Goins Attention Henry Ford Trade School, it is believed by industrial educa- tors, is one of the most talked- about schools in the United States. To substantiate this statement three things can bs stated. More than 2000 Trade School text books are sold every month. About 1000 letters of inquiry, from all parts of the world, come each month. Not only are inquiries about the Trade School answered through the mail but Supt. F. E. Searle recently was called to Chicago and New York to talk about our school. In New York he spoke at the second annual career confer- ence at the R. C. A. Building, Rockefeller Center. His talk in Chicago was at the American In- ventors Congress. Gulls Seek Vengeance The duck s that once inhab- ited the marshy land upon which the Ford Motor Company is now situated have not only returned but have mysteriously turned in- to sea gulls. No attack has as yet been made but we are expecting to be driven out by this horde of avenging spooks almost any day These winged bipeds are now residing on a pool west of the rolling mill.

Frank Leach Wins Speaking Contest, Gets Wood-Lathe As Prize Frank Leach, T-C-l, speaking on the topic Why Model Air- planes , won first prize in an extemporaneous speaking contest, held April 23 at George Davis Vocational School, Grand Rapids. The prize Frank won was a 36-inch wood turning lathe. Frank donated the lathe to the Trade School chapter of the Future Craftsman of America. Frank was praised by prom- inent members of Detroit Public Schools. They predicted great things for him. Two other Trade School students also won honors. The third prize in a wood sawing con- Frank Leach test was cap- tured by Ralph Johnston, senior, the prize being a combination square. Elmer Benzing, M-C-l, who competed in the F. C.

Students from all parts of Michigan were present to compete in the contests which were spon- sored by the Michigan Industrial Educational Society. Bowlers Celebrate With Banquet At the banquet table for the fifty bowling instructors, Friday, April 23, William Blake- sley, master of ceremonies, had no difficulty in creating a spirit of friendliness. Trades, skills, and ranks were forgotten. A Hello, Mac, George, Al, etc., permeated the banquet hall. Name cards had previously been arranged by Dale Appleberry, secretary.

We are indebted to her. She is the one person we can al- ways go to with our troubles and get a kind word. It was mother who started us right in earlier days. Whenever we cut a finger, had trouble in school, got ■’licked in a fight, or lost our marbles, it was always mother who dried -our tears and fixed everything so the sun seemed tc shine again. Always treat her like a queen and you will find a brighter life waiting for you. Remember: Treat her like a queen, not only on Mother's Day but every day. Things Don't Just Happen It didn't Just happen that Frank Leach won the extempora- neous speaking contest. The winning of the amateur contests was not an accident.

Eternal vigilance is the price of success. EDITOR'S MAIL To The Editor: Why can't we leave our I hooks in the Trade School over- I night? Because there isn't any I available, safe place. I To The Editor: I would like to know more [ about the Trade School boys that I have graduated. See the alumni column an the hack page of each edition. To The Editor: Why aren't the A-c lasses ; allowed to see movies anymore during class week? Because it was felt free their actions that they did not appreciate the pictures. As they have previously seen most of the casing pictures when they were in the lower classes, it : was ruled that they spend the : time in their regular class j where it would be of more value j to them. However, when an ex- j ceptianal movie is to he shown, they will be permitted to see it. j To The Editor: The Trade School is a large i enough institution to sponsor a j Boy Scout Troop. I think it i3 an excellent idea and will add I credit to the school. I am an I assistant scoutmaster of Troop 52 and therefore could not take an active part in another 'troop hut I would help all I could to put this idea into effect. — — 2435 Floyd Scrase, room 6 If you are interested in an organization cf this kind, talk to Floyd or send your opinion to The Draftsman.

Life Of A Baseball Ouch! That hurts, I cried, as a cotton picker picked me free the cotton plant. From, here I was made into string. Ifcat a process, I thought I weald never came out alive. I was then wound into a ball and bound with leather. Finally, I found ay way into a ball park where Tunny Bridges, Tiger hurler, picked me up and sent me sailing through space. A big club hit me in the face and away I went to the cot- field, hitting a policeman's horse cat the hips.

The Southwestern game was the first start of the season for the varsity and the Prospec- tor's eight runs In the first two innings off Cliff Laglnese Have you heard the rumor about a Trade School musical evening?_______________________ were plenty to win. Harry Monks and Elmer Her twig followed Lag- inees on the mound, Monks allow- ing 4 hits for two runs and Hartwig 2 hits and no runs. In the first game of the Melvindale series, the Craftsmen were nosed out, 10-6. Monks started thie game and ran into tough luck right at the start, hie team making 7 errors to al- low Melvindale to take a iead they never relinquished. Sonnenberg, Baker, and Tuszynski were ' standing for the Craftsman and C'Rourke and Mar Ibito starred for the Melvin- dale nine. The Craftsman really got started against Redford, winning 6-4. Sonnenberg and Tuszynski starred with two bits each. Leglness pitched 5-hit be.l end whiffed 13 of the Bedford bat- ters. Cliff a. so contributed with two hits. ‘Wednesday's battle with Melvindale proved that Coach Richards has another capable starting pitcher, James Jerry Mitchell. Jerry, although in- clined to be wild at time®, re- corded 8 strikeouts and allowed 2 hits and 2 runs in 6 and one third innings pitched. He was replaced with oce cat, bases loaded, in the seventh by Mocks. 7t 3 of the men on base scored, both being charged to Mitchell. Melvindale scored all of its 4 runs in the last inning.

Bearden, superviser of the grind- er department, one can hardly see a ripple in a glassful of water placed on the wheel guard of this machine. Mr. Bearden was speaking of the hydraulic, heavy-duty, surface grinder re- cently acquired by the Trade School. This grinder has three di- rect drive motors which operate the spindle, table, and the water pump. A selective, fine, coarse, hand, and automatic feed is used for the feed adjustment. The table has a selective trans- versal speed. The magnetic chuck is 5 feet long, 12 inches wide, and accommodates work up to 12 inches high. The wheel used is 20 inches in diameter. Seventy gallons of oil con- stitute the requirements of the hydraulic system. The students who run this machine are under the supervi- sion of Elroy Deszell. Weaver Discusses Club Don Weaver, chemistry in- structor, has recently stated that he is well satisfied with the progress shown by the major- ity of students enrolled in the Radio Club which meets twice a week in room 43. The real hindrance of stu- dents entering this organiza- tion, stated Mr. Weaver, is the amount of study and prepara- tion necessary before the actual work of penetrating the myster- ies of radio begin. However, he also said, there are students with excep- tional ability, and we are hop- ing to establish a fine club and learn much towards the perfec- tion of the radio. Animal Tamers or Tool Makers? Members of the animal king- dom evidently like the grinder department. Last summer Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow raised their family there; last fall Fido visited the department; and now it's a mouse I John Nagel, senior, caught Mr. Mouse in his home-made trap.

When only a week old, the young pigeons, commonly known as squabs, are banded, that is, an aluminum identification strip is placed about one of their legs for use as a permanent record. As explained by Herbert, the squabs begin their training when three months old. After three or four months, the birds set out on their stirring racing life. The farthest racing point, his pigeons have flown is six hundred and twenty-five miles. Herbert anticipates a distance of approximately a thousand miles this summer, from San An- tonio, Texas to Detroit. cell than a trap. After John took the mouse home, it escaped from the trap. Now he is experimenting to see if the mouse will enter the baited trap again. Students are wondering if the boys in the grinder depart- ment are trying to be tool and die makers or zoo keepers.

It has white side wall Sil- vertown tires, trunk with spare tire, and two dry cells, under hood, which light head and tail lamps. The car is also equipped with four-wheel brakes. The dash board resembles the one on the car. Since John is seventeen year8 old, he is beyond the age limit to enter the Trade School, but Mr. Searle is permitting him to enroll as a summer student. Prom at Masonic Temple After much discussion and investigation the A-class presi- dents, advised by B. C. Brewen and J. J. Onderko, have decided to hold their dinner-dance Sat- urday, July 3 at the Masonic Temple in Detroit. The Aztec Tower was taken under consideration, but was dropped because the presidents felt that the Tower would not be able to accommodate the large number expected. The presidents are now endeavoring to select an orchestra for the occasion. One of the oldest and still probably the best methods of identification is the finger- print system. Of ancient origin, it was used in the early days of the East when monarchs U89d their thumb prints as a seal for documents. Sir William Herschel is regarded as the first to de- vise a method of criminal Iden- tification. Depending on the ridge for- mation of the bulb of the finger, the constancy of each pattern has been proved beyond all doubt, Instructor Gets Master's Degree 0. Roland Scott, chemistry instructor, has completed the requirements for a master of science degree at Wayne Univer- sity, Detroit. As one of the requirements he has written a thesis entitled Industrial Chemistry in Modern Education which concerns the development of chemistry in our school. His bachelor'8 degree was also re- ceived from Wayne University. Two Students Honored Sebastian Licavoli, M-A-4, and Angelo Bammarito, M-B-2, re- ceived honors Wednesday, May 12, at the Franklin Community House which has a membership of five hundred boys. Sebastian, who lives seven blocks from the community center, was awarded a silver cup for citizenship displayed while helping to keep things in order at the house. Angelo, received a banner because the team he captained and on which he played guard won the Junior Class Basketball Championship.

Whether you han- dle a pick or a pen, a wheel- | barrow or a set of books, dig- ging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction-bell or writ- ! ing funny things, you must work. If you look around, my son, you ! will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of ! their days without work are the , men who work the hardest. Don't I be afraid of killing yourself with over work. It is beyond j your power to do that on the j sunny side of thirty. They die I sometimes, but it's because they quit work at 6 p. m. and don't get heme until 2 a. m. It's the interval that kills, my son. j The work gives you an appetite for your meals, it lends solid- ity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful ap- preciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, my son, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even, it simply speaks of them as old So-and- so's boys. Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn't know that they are there. So ! find out what you want, to be and do, my son, and take off your j coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are. the less deviltry you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the Third F loor Mill Depar tm ent Mill department, under the supervision of Bertram Hollis, is not only one of the most im- portant but is one of the larg- est departments in the Trade School. The department has a total of 68 machines, 2 of them are gear hobbing machines, 1 is a thread milling machine, 2 are spline milling machines, and the remainder are plain, universal, and vertical milling machines. The ninety-two boys en- rolled are divided into four sections. Section one, taught by El- mer Benzing, mills cutters, reamers, drills, spot-facers, etc. This department uses the plain and universal mills, sixty per cent being the universal. David Ingram teaches sec- tion two. Here the pins for conveyor chains, which are as- sembled in trolley department, are straddle milled. Bushings, pins, hexagon nuts, punches, centers, spanner nuts, and vise Jaws are also part of the work done by this section. Section three, with Nick Credit as instructor, mills spur gears, stub tooth gears, spiral gears, and spline shafts. Steel guides for the rolling mill, bronze Jaws for Schuster wire straightening machines, soft Jaws for chucks of ail types, and many other forms of flat work are milled. Section four, taught by Eu- gene Peck, does all vertical mill work. All heavy or bulky Jobs are done here.

Last year's leading Intra- mural hardball hitter, William Hoppe, W-A-2, seems to be set on defending his laurels again this year. William had a perfect day at the plate as the Pirates beat the T-section Sluggers, 4-1. Casey at bat. That's Jimmy McIntyre of the M-G-2 baseball team. With his team trailing by 2 runs, Jinny drove out a home run with the bases loaded to beat the M-F-l Badgers. A Comedy of Errors” took place between the M-G-l Jeeps and the M-F-l Badgers. The Jeeps made 20 errors to let the Badgers wallop them to the tune of 25 to 4_.__________ Craftsman Defeated An early four run lead en- abled Hazel Park dewn the Crafts- man 4-2 at Hazel Park, May 19. The first 2 runs Hazel Park scared were unearned. However, they scared 2 runs on 3 hits in the fourth inning off Bob Mont- avan. Craftsman right hander. The first 10 men to face Hoyle, Hazel Park burler, were retired in order. Mugerdichian broke the spell in the fourth Inning with a line single to center. The Craftsman scored their 2 runs in the fifth by singles from Baker and Sccnenberg, plus 2 errors made by Hazel Park. Montavcn aliened 7 hits, walked one, hit 3 batsmen, and allowed 4 runs in the six in- nings he pitched. Golf Team E nters Regional Tournament For the first time in the history of the Trade School a golf team has been organized and entered in the High School Re- gional Golf Tournament to be played Saturday, May 22 at Huron Hills Golf Course. The Trade School team, which will tee-off at 9:30 a.m., will be Robert Kurz, No. 1; Martin Lawler, No. 2; William Howard, No. 3; and A1 Delaney, No. 4. Joe Ollar will make the trip as alternate. Because of low scoring, teams in the metropolitan schools, Coach Keith Glaasley says they will be fortunate if they emerge eligible for the State tournament, to be held at Grand Rapids. But he Is anxious for his team to gain experience as Kurz and Lawler will be eligi- ble for next year's tournament. Varsity Drops Thriller Hurling five-hit ball was not enough to give Harry Monks a victory at Fordson Field when Fordson High nosed out the Craftsman, 3-1, Monday, May 17. The Craftsman scored its lone tally in the first inning. McElroy leading off struck out but was safe when the catcher let the third strike get away from him. Attempting to sacri- fice, Mugerdichian popped to third base. McElroy then stole second base cleanly and scored the first run when Tuszynski cracked a double to right center. Fordson tied the score in the third Inning when Hunter muffed the third strike on Pieaka who stole second, ran to third on a ground cut, and scored when Eichman threw to the wrong base. The Tractors took the lead In the fifth when Hun- ter's two base error was fol- lowed by a hit. They also scared In the sixth when Tuszyn- ski froze the ball following an infield hit permitting a runner to race heme from second base. The Craftaman collected but three hits. Besides Tuszynski, varsity hits were made by Muger- dichian and Sichman. Monks struck out three batters and al- leged five hits in six innings he worked on the mound.

Believe it or not, each mishap was the result of a swim in a lake. After a swim in Is- land Lake, during his first va- cation, Frank's ear began aching Upon going to the doctor he was told he had a broken eardrum. The broken eardrum was the re- sult of germs from the water. During his second vacation, after the eardrum had healed, he went swimming again. For the second time his ear became in- fected. All this, however, did not stop Frank, for during his third vacation he again went swimming, turning his affliction into a chronic mastoid. As the doctor would not operate at that time, the date was set for this summer's vacat i on. Frank was 18 years old May 3, therefore his vaca- tion this year will be with- out scholarship. Strange as it may seem this young man is not looking forward to his vacation this sum- mer. T-C-Clas6es Give Radio Students of the T-C-classes and their instructors recently contributed enough money to pur- chase a midget Freshman radio, which will be given to Wilfred Tyosh, T-C-2, who is convalesc- ing in the Herman Keifer Hospi- tal from tuberculosis. Don Weaver, chemistry In- structor, has attached a set of earphones to the radio, thereby permitting Wilfred to listen to the radio without disturbing the other patient8. Richard Bryce, of the same class, took up the collection, $5.75, and purchased the radio. At the present it is un- decided whether Wilfred will go to the Maybury Sanatorium at Northville, or remain at the hospital. Wilfred is a descendant of the Chippewa Indian Tribe. He came to the Trade School from the L’Anse Reservation in North- ern Michigan. Root Masters Rock The rock that resists a crowbar gives way to the tender roots of a plant. A piece of solid rock with a dewberry root grown through it is on display on C. G. Roger s bulletin board, room 9. It is believed that the production of an acid at the tip of the root dis- solved the rock allowing the root to grow through it. However, another theory is that the acidic rains fall- ing on the rock aided the acid produced at the tip of the root In its dissolving process. Dctrboro, Mich.. U.S.A. TO FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF OUR STUDENTS: We again take pleasure in announcing the Annual Henry Ford Trade School and Ford Apprentice School Excursion to Bob-Lo Island, Saturday, June 26, 1937. We invite you to attend this occasion which will afford you an opportunity to meet school Instructors and officials. It is hoped that these social affairs will bring parents and friends into closer contact with our work. An interesting program of games, contests, and amusements has been arranged. You will be able to secure tickets from any stu- dent. Adults 75 cents, children under fifteen 35 cents, Trusting that you will help us make this under- taking a success, we remain. Very truly yours, CamYttee Arrangement Amateur Pins Made at Nankin Mills The winning amateur contest- ants will soon be flashing their medals around before eyes of ad- miring students. The medals will be made and engraved at Nankin Mills, an old grist mill, framed o f massive hand-hewn beams one hundred years old. The mill is finished in clap- boards and is painted white. All of the engraving for Henry Ford Trade School and Ford Motor Company is done there. Some of the things used in this school are tool checks, tool box tags, stamp sets, coat checks, etc. The power is taken from the Rouge River which flows under- ground through a tunnel to a flume. The modern turbine- driven electric generator pro- duces about fifty horse-power. A governor opens and closes a valve according to the amount of power needed for the opera- tion of the small lathes, shapers, mills, grinders, etc. By this method power is produced with practical- ly no cost. Henry Ford purchased the mill in 1918 and for a period of eighteen years, only nine to ten men worked there. At the present a- bout 39 men are employed. Club Hold Picnic The H. F. T. S. Alumni Club held its first picnic at Plymouth Park, Sunday, May' 30. Entertainment con- sisted of a ball game, ca- noeing, swimming, lunch, a hot dog roast, and an ama- teur show. Twenty members attended, each bringing his lady friend. They also had a meet- ing and discussed future plans. Their next picnic will be at Bob-Lo, June 26. Members will go in a group.

Stoelting Vol. 2, No. 18 Fri., June 4, 1937 Get the Habit A few weeks ago a student of our school was in a downtown Detroit bank when a young man walked in to apply for a posi- tion. Hi8 hat was on when he walked into the office of the personnel manager. There it re- mained until the manager told him to take it off. Furthermore, that boy was not given a chance to put in his application. The manager advisingly said, Here- after, when you are applying for a position, remove your hat. Now isn't that proof enough that you should get into the habit of removing your hat be- fore entering the Trade School? Don't be a Knocker A knocker never wins. A winner never knocks, is a slo- gan well worth remembering if one wishes to arrive at the fifth base of life. What is the fifth base? It is the base re- served solely for those who ap- ply the simple slogan which rep- resents fair sportsmanship to their work and play every day. One who always has an alibi when his team loses and is always ready to grab off the lions share of the glory if his team wins will never arrive to share his portion of the fifth base for it is saved for the sports- man. To reach this base one must be a true sportsman in both his work and play, win or lose. EDITOR'S MAIL To The Editor: Can a C-class boy begin his Apprentice School in the C-class? No, a boy is permitted to attend the Apprentice School only when he is in the A-class. Is it possible to start a rifle team for the Trade School? It is possible, but there are many ifs connected. All boys interested see 1943 Will- ard Blankenship, Commercial Tool Repair. When do the A-classes go on a trip to Greenfield Village? The trip has been discon- tinued for all A-classes. They went to Greenfield Village when they were in the E-class. A Bad Siege He had never had such a tough time in his life. First he got angina pectoris, followed by arteriosclerosis. Just as he was recovering from these he got pneumonia, followed by pulmonary phthisis and tuberculosis. Some- how he got over them in time to get appendicitis, to say nothing of pyorrhea. All in all, he nev- er saw how he pulled through. It was the hardest spelling test he'd ever had.

Golfers Enter State Tourney Playing through rain chat at times came down in torrents, the Trade School golf team sloshed its way over the soggy hills and valleys of Huron Hills Golf Course on Saturday, May 22. Against six other class A entrants they placed second in the regional tournament and are now entered in the State finals scheduled for play over the Blyefield Country Club Course, Grand Rapids, June 5. Craftsman Capture Close Contest With Harry Monks pitching five-hit ball, the Craftsman captured a thriller from Farm- ington, 2-1, on Tuesday, May 25. The Farmington nine scored their lone run In the third in- ning on an error, a sacrifice, and a smashing double by Warren Werschin. The lead was short-lived, however, as the Craftsman came back in the fifth to score the tying and winning runs. A1 De- laney hit a 8ingle and scored on Taylor's three bagger. Taylor crossed the plate with what proved to be the winning run on Stevenson's perfect sacrifice bunt. T. S. Gets Ball Diamond A ten acre tract, now being transformed into a park by the City of Dearborn, will mean the end of the Trade School's labori- ous search for a spot to play baseball. This property, known as Clippert Field, is located at Tractor and Wyoming Avenues and will be available to the Trade School between the hours of 3:20 and 5:30 p. m. Coach V. F. Richards plans to move the three soft ball back- stops from Chrysler to Clippert Field as soon as possible. The Trade School is also building two hard ball backstops for use at the new park. Thi3 field will be the heme diamond of the Craftsman base- ball team which this year sched- uled all its games away.

One Wise Crow The cap on the milk bottle on the steps of the home of Joseph Hauser, M-B-l, had been punctured, and about one half inch cream sipped off the top of the bottle. This happened three mornings in succession. On the fourth, Joe decided to see how this occurred. As soon as the milkman brought the milk, Joe was at the window, watching. He waited about an hour, and finally he saw a crow wing it8 way toward the porch, settle next to the bottle, and peck at the cap. When he suc- ceeded in puncturing the cap, he drank as much milk as he could get his bill into. The next morning found Joe's entire family watching the milk bottle. About the same time the crow came, pecked, drank, and as he was about to leave, he saw the people peering at him through the window. The crow took fright, flew away, never to return. Announcement We wish to announce that toothpaste can now be purchased at the bookstore. This is a first class product containing the necessary cleansing ingredi- ents together with the essential oils and flavoring agents. It is prepared exclusively for the Ford Motor Company and is high- ly recommended by our school dentist, Dr. Robert G. Chambers. Trade School Repairs Broken Dreams In the cutaway department of the Trade School are five of perhaps the strangest devices to be found in the entire Ford plant. They represent frustrated hopes and broken dreams. For centuries men have endeavored to perfect a machine which would run indefinitely on its own pow- er. At one time noted inventors endeavored to perfect, mathemati- cally impossible, perpetual mo- tion devices. But in recent years scientists have devoted their time to practical inven- tions and the search for perpet- ual motion has languished. A former college professor exhibited these five almost perpetual motion machines at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. The Advertising Department of Ford Motor Company purchased them at the close of the fair. As a Ford exhibit they have since visited The San Diego Ex- position and The Texas Centenni- al Exposition at Dallas. They operate by electricity and are being reconditioned by the electrical department. The electrical work is in charge of Stanley Bozich, Trade School alumnus. They have also been chrome-plated and their bases painted aster-tan. The not- quite perpetual motion machines are to be part of a traveling Ford show which will visit large American cities. The Wallet Retriever An earlier issue of The Craftsman made comment on the fact that Allistair Dunn, W-D-l, found a pocket-book. Little did we think, then, that we would be writing of his finding four wal- lets and a five dollar bill. Allistair found his fourth wallet in a lavatory. It be- longed to Roy Landeryou, M-A-3. Allistair said it is the second time he has found Roy's wallet and returned it. James O’Neil, cleaning department, and Charles Olah, T-A-4, also feel grateful to Allistair for retrieving their lost possessions. If you should lose your pocket-book, report it at once to Allistair and probably he will help you find it. mm William Livernols, '36, i8 working for the Ford Motor Com- pany as a metal pattern maker in the Foundry Building.

Decoration Day Observed Since Civil War Decoration Day, a holiday known also as Memorial Day, is observed in all the States of the United States on May 30, in honor of soldiers killed in the American Civil War. Before the close of the Civil War, May 30 was thus cele- brated in the South. In the North there was no fixed cele- bration until 1868, when on May 5, Commander-In-Chief John A. Logan, of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a general order designating May 30, 1868, for the purpose of decorating the graves of the comrades who died in defense of their country. Logan did this with the hope that it would be kept up from year to year. In 1882 the Grand Army urged that the Proper designa- tion of May 30 as Memorial Day not Decoration Day.

That’s what the Trade School Directors recently decided, when they ordered an increase of 5 cents an hour added to each stu- dent' 8 scholarship. This raises the minimum scholarship to 20 cent8, maximum to classroom hoys 45 cents, and seniors 65 cents. This is the first general increase of five cents to stu- dents in the history of the Trade School. Tool Makers Enterfain at Musicale The fact that potential tool makers can entertain as well as operate machines was proved to an audience of nearly 200 persons at Lawrence Insti- tute June 3, when Henry Ford Trade School Orchestra presented its first musicale. The program was opened with a short talk hy Frank Leach, T- C-l, master of ceremonies. If we can go on with activities such as this, he explained, a greater school spirit will de- velop. He then introduced Keith Glassley, orchestra direc- tor. The program consisted of selections h y the orchestra, songs hy the student quartet, music hy the student's swing hand which was directed hy Fred Mortimer, and a banjo duet hy Ed Schwab and Ken Centner. Other entertainment: Robert Mortimer, trumpet solo; Robert Vogel, vocal solo; Art Talmadge, trcmbone solo; Roxy Rossi, ac- cordion; and an instrumental en- semble led hy Walter Maus. Later in the evening Supt. F. E.

When one thinks of the good time in store for him, it should make him appreciate the effort the committee has put forth in arranging a well balanced pro- gram. Boat Schedule The boat schedule from the foot of Woodward Avenue is as follower 9:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. Returning from Boh-Lo: 4:15 p. m., 6:00 p.m., 8:45 p.m., and 11:00 p.m. This year, besides the usu- al free dancing, additional en- tertainment will he provided on the steamers. Rick Roberts Ra- dio Orchestra will furnish free evening dancing on the island. The day's program will be- gin with the track meet, super- vised hy W. F. Mueller and J. H.

You graduates should remem- ber three rules; the most impor- tant is in introducing a man to a woman, as, Mi89 Dainty, may I introduce Mr. Graduate. Another rule to be observed is In intro- ducing a younger person to the older one,and also remember to introduce a person to a group of many as it will save much time. The Trade School library has in its possession a copy of Manners for Millions” and it would be worth your while to peruse between its covers. Opportunities Students have many opportu- nities in the Trade School. First of all, of the 272 in- structors in the class and shop, 43 are Trade School graduates. Others have accepted important positions in various departments of the Ford Motor Company. Some are employed at Greenfield Vill- age, doing experimental work. Hiese are only a few of the many opportunities graduates have received. So, why not do as they probably did when they were students, that Is--do every Job, large or small, in the best way you possibly cm. That is the only way to do it right. Ray Shillum Honored The first gold key to be presented by the Phi Kappa Up- si Ion fraternity o f Lawrence Institute of Technology was a- warded to R. J. Shillum, of the metallurgy department, at a din- ner recently. Each year this fraternity presents a key to one of its members graduating with honors.

GRADUATES 4 INSTRUCTORS ATTEND SENIOR DINNER DAI TURD AY JULY 6:30 P.M. AT THE MASONI TEMPLE_ SECOND. BLVD. AT TEMPLE FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1937 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Golfers Fail to Place Represented “by Martin Law- lor, Robert Kurz, William Howard, and Joseph Ollar, the Trade School Golf Team failed to place among a field of nine class A high school teams in the State Tournament held at Blythefield Country Club, Grand Rapids, Sat- urday, June 5. To place in a golf tournament a team must fin- ish in first or second place. Jackson High School was the win- ner with a team score of 329. The team left Detroit Fri- day morning and arrived in time to play a practice round that afternoon. This practice round decided the team for the follow- ing day and relegated A1 Delaney to the position of alternate. While this i s the last tournament of the season the boys believe they have gained useful experience to help them in tournament play next year. Finals at Bob-Lo First round matches being completed, the intramural tennis tournament now swings into the quarter finals. Due t o bad weather the tournament is a week behind in its schedule but the players hope to be ready for the finals at Bob-Lo. Pool is Sought Swimming is a coming sport in Henry Ford Trade School. Aft- er tomorrow swimmers will have used Fordson High School's pool for three weeks. Last week fif- teen boys were present. As the Fordson pool will not be avail- able after tomorrow, B. C. Brew- en is planning to get another. Grads to Celebrate Crystal Ballroom, Supt. F. E. Searle and Clifford Laginess, W-A-l president and editor-in- chief of The Craftsman, will speak. Dancing will begin at 9 o'clock. Entertainment will be fur- nished by the instructors' quar- tet and the Ford Dixie 8 . The orchestra, as yet, has not been selected. Graduates as well as all class and shop instructors are invited to attend. Tickets may be purchased from A-class pres- idents at $3.25 a couple. There were no undefeated teams in M-sect ion, but W-sec- tion has three. They are the Pirates, captained b y Steve Shomberger; Panthers, captained by Harold McRay, and Fleetwings, captained by Joe David. Out of the forty teams en- tered in the intramural league this season only three teams failed to complete their sched- ule. They are the M-section Bullets, T-section Rangers, and W-A-3. M-Section Winners Midget League: Colors; won 6, lost 3. Captain, Willard Mohler. Leading hitters: Jack Moons .500 and Henry 'Szar .469. Playground League: Mohawks; won 5, lost 3. Captain: George Brown. Leading hitters: Ernest McHugh .469 and Ralph Mason .415 Hardball League: Lions, won 4, lost 2. Captain, Harold Hoffman. Leading hitters: John Nagel .700 and Eugene Prais .666 The Stoelting Wildcats have completed six double plays in six straight wins. They are T- section champs in the Midget League. Oliver Tank pitched them to each victory. Captain, Bud Cushing. Jack Gemmell, M-G-2, won the pigeon swimming race at Ford- son High School, Saturday, June 5. To win the M-sect ion play- ground championship, the Mohawks beat the Stars, captained by Nick Vasi. William Bell and Robert Elster €0 6 tied for batting championship in Midget League, T-section. Henry Jason is batting champion in the Playground League of T-section. Shop instructors defeated class instructors in a play- ground ball game, 11-3. Roy Yerex said he had the game all arranged with R. B. Teeple, um- pire, to win by hook or crook, but Teeple sold out for two bits. Parkers Beat Craftsmen in Final The varsity wound up their high school schedule Thursday, June 10, with a 10-7, extra-in- ning loss to Lincoln Park on the Parker's heme field. MeElroy, not the Frank who so ably patrols the Craftsman outfield, was top man for Lin- coln Park, collecting three hits in four trips to the plate, while the Trade School big guns were Art McHugh and Jercme Tuzynski. Harry Monks, called upon to pitch his second game in three days, pitching 4 Innings at Farm- ington, did fairly well. Al- though he was hit hard and often, his team mates did a swell Job of holding their cwn. Bob Mont- avon, who relieved Monks in the last inning with the bases loaded, retired the next two batters, but the Craftsmen failed to do anything in their last turn at bat. Varsity Downs Farmington Emerging victorious over Farmington High at Farmington, Tuesday, June 8, the Craftsman swept the two game series. After A1 Delaney had driven in what were seemingly the win- ning runs on two occasions, only to have Farmington tie the game up again, Milton Cross singled Taylor and Tuzynski across the The wearing o f tennis shoes i s not permitted in Henry Ford Trade School or on the campus for safety reasons.

It was a see-saw game right up to and through the two extra in- nings. Taylor, with three hits, and Tuszynskl, Delaney, and Cross, two hits apiece, stood out for the varsity. Cliff Laginess, starting pitcher, was replaced by Harry Monks in the fifth. Harry, by seme good relief hurling, re- ceived credit for the victory. The final score was 10-8.

Robert Henry, M-A-l, also witnessed the Indianapolis Speed- way Race, this being the second time he has seen the race. Basil Bohmier, M-B-l, is the leader of an orchestra com- posed entirely of guitars. His orchestra has frequently played on the radio, over stations WWJ, and WJBK. Rules for Swimmers Vacation time will soon be here and with it comes that healthful sport, swimming. No matter how good a swimmer one may be, or how well the water front is guarded, there are sev- eral precautions which should be observed. 1. Never venture into water without a companion. 2. No one should aver swim immediately after eating. Stom- ach cramps may result. Wait at least one and one-half hours. 3. Non-swimmers should guard against sudden drops of the bottom. This is a very com- mon danger in lakes. 4. Never swim when over- heated or immediately after hard exertion. 5. Never dive into a strange river before sounding the bottom for stumps and other obstructions. 6. No one should swim under water when a pool is crowded. 7. Swimmers should not swim around the area near diving boards or diving towers. Since installation of flood lights around the Washington Mon- ument several years ago, nearly 1,000 birds have met death by flying into the towering shaft. Seven F. C. A. Boys Attend Convention Henry Ford Trade School had the largest delegation at the Second Annual State of Michigan Future Craftsman of America Con- vention, which was held in the Agricultural Building of Mich- igan State College, East Lansing, Saturday, June 5. The following members o f the Trade School Chapter were present: William Fischer, Harold Heilner, Waldemar Quade, William Reid, Floyd Haskell, Charles McWhorter, and Charles White, who were accompanied by J. J. Onderko and W. F. Jasinski. After state and national dues were paid, each chapter re- ceived the Official Future Craftsman of America Handbook and membership cards for its members. The next State Convention will again be held there Septem- ber 25. The National Convention i e to be hfcld in Detroit in Octo- ber or November, and the various chapters were asked to work on some sort of exhibit or contest for this meeting. George H. Fern, state direc- tor o f vocational education, gave a short talk to encourage its members to be well repre- sented at the next State and National Conventions. After the meeting, the Trade School students visited the State Capitol. Orchestra Entertains Foster; and also Vaughan Heard and Hugh Miller, vocalists. I wish to express my ap- preciation to Mr. Glassley and his 'play boys'; they're doing a fine Job, said Mr. Searle in conclusion. Members of the Future Craftsman of America supervised the parking, passed out programs, and acted as ushers. They are: William Reid, David Campbell, Charles McWhorter, Floyd Haskell, Waldemar Quade, Gerald Grunow, and Christopher Arnone. For this service they earned merits which permit them to qualify for de- grees in the T. S. Chapter of the F. C. A. Bond Milton, senior, was in charge of the public address system. Robert Snith, '30, assisted by Joseph Groth, '31, is in charge of experimental farm work at Greenfield Village. Lamar King, '35, is employed by the Ford Motor Company as a draftsman in the Main Drafting Room. Archie Quinn, '34, is doing analytical work on soy bean oil at the Research Laboratory at Greenfield Village. Eugene Ford, '34, is em- ployed by the Ford Motor Company as an experimental welder in Tool Roan N-711A. Alex Donaldson, '29, Harold Joyce, '31, James Campion, '30, and Arthur Lamminen, '30, are em- ployed at the oil extractor at Greenfield Village, doing exper- imental extractions of the soy bean. Radio Club Experiments With Sound Effects The radio club, spending an hour of experimenting with sound effects last Wednesday afternoon, produced effects,over the Trade School's portable public address system, that are used in popular radio broadcasts. A cardboard box of starch when squeezed in front of the mike sounded like a man walk- ing in snow. Sand dropped upon a tightly stretched piece of cel- lophane made a rainstorm. A gal- loping horse was produced by one boy slapping his chest rhythm- ically in front of the micro- phone. Cricket8 were heard dis- tinctly as the teeth of a fine tooth comb were rubbed. As one boy talked into a large ale glass the listeners in the next room thought they heard a man shouting in a vast cave. The radio club members pres- ent were: Vincent Koitz, Sam Banyai, and Herbert Lewis. Bond Milton, of the radio department, set up the necessary apparatus.

Whatever mental progress you have made during this class room experience will vitally af- fect your future. Certain ideals have been maintained in your shop training- Safety, Order, Accuracy, Speed, Ingenuity. If you have followed these same beacons in the aca- demic training, your progress has been surer and greater. Mental work requires a sane and orderly approach to secure accurate results. Time is also an important factor, and inge- nuity in deriving a solution of a mathematical problem is as im- portant as an improvement in shop method. To the extent that you can assume responsibility and absorb the grief which cones with every worth while project you can ac- cept the opportunites which came your way.

F. E. Searle, standing at the speakers table of the graduating prom, Saturday, July 3, in the Crystal Ballroom, Masonic Temple. He was compli- menting the boys on the beauti- ful ladies they had selected for the party. Speaking more seriously he told of how much interest Henry Ford Trade School is attracting and of other schools that are patterning after it. Students do more practical work in our school in one week than one does in college in a year, he ex- plained. He pointed out to the graduates that they had reached this goal because you have worked with u s, instructors alone can not make the school effective.

We can't let this occasion pass without a few not-too-seri- 0U8 words regarding the happi- ness we want you to have during your vacation. We'll have to be a little vague, for happiness is not anything we o r anybody else can point to and say There it is, go take it. You'll have to search for it yourself. The essential thing about a vacation, everybody seems agreed, is that it provides a change in activity o r scenery, or both an escape frcm day-in-day-out rou- tine of the workaday world. We say for goodness sake have fun, and have as much of it as you can: play games, dance, swim, ride, read, meet people, fall in and out of love, or Just 8it on a rock and look into space if it8 your particular formula for fun—but keep your eyes and ears and minds open while you're about it. We don't mean t o be stuffy about this. We don't mean to suggest for a minute that you should solemnly stop and furrow your brow over serious situa- tions Just before you plunk into a swimming pool: or that you should engage your dancing part- ner in a life-is-real-life-is- earnest conversation about Whither Mankind. But we do urge you to capitalize on your vaca- tion by keeping your mind, as well as your body, active—in practice for sharp curves ahead. We'll say goodbye on that note. Happy vacation. See you in September. The Americon Worker Has Much Power The American worker has more than twice as much power at his command as the British work- er and more than two and one- half times that of the French worker. Although there has been an increase in the price of cloth- ing since 1914, the consumer with the income equal to that of the average factory worker today can buy a year's supply for a family of four with the earnings frcm less than half as many hours of work as were required 23 years ago. In 1914 it took the earnings from 709 hours of work and today it takes the earnings of only 349 hours. From—Technology and the American Consumer, 1937. Robot-like Machine in Operation Power supreme is now help- ing to make the Ford V-8. A robot-like manipulator picks up ingots as large a s five feet in diameter and places them beneath the huge 33 diameter piston, on a massive hydraulic press, to re- ceive a pressure of 2,500 tons. After this operation the product is well on it8 way to became tool8, large parts of machines, or parts of boats. A large intensifier fur- nishes the power for the press. For each square inch on the five foot diameter piston a pressure of one hundred fifty pounds of steam is exerted. This forces a smaller piston up against the water in the pipe and causes it to flow to the 33 diameter pis- ton on top of the press and force it down against the ingot. This press is the largest hydraulic press that has 9ver been designed exclusively for forging. The press is supported by a caisson four feet in diam- eter and one hundred seven feet deep. This being about three feet below bedrock. This (ECQJDEJSSS SWQHdD Mr. Gues3 Who , of whan we have no picture, is one who stu- dents all admire, for he wa3 born on the sunny side of the world. He is respected by every- one, the reason being that he wins friends easily, is a good athlete, never grabs the lions share of the victory, and never has an alibi when his team loses. All this accounts for his being considered an ideal citizen. His working place is one of the neatest in the school, there- fore, making cleanliness his by- word. His voice is mellow and resonate, one that attracts at- tention. When he laughs his bright hazel eyes reveal a gleam of ambition, fun, and playful- ness.

Within this build- ing is machinery that represents the science of ages, man's try- ing struggle to the top, and probably the reason why he is at the top. Monstrous generators, turn- ing out over 700,000,000 kilo- watt hour8 a year, proclaim the fame of the Ford Rouge Plant. The picture below shows the W-C-l boys on a recent shop trip to Power House No. 1. They are grouped about a new and recently installed steam turbine, the largest high-pressure steam gen- erating installation in the world. Nearly a year ago, Henry Ford spun the Ford V-8 steering wheel, seen in t h e lower left hand portion of the picture, to start the new 110, OCX) kilowatt generator. After setting the turbine i n motion, Mr. Ford stated, To produce the same a- mount of horsepower with the kind of engine w e used at the Piquette Avenue Plant, we would have to have a line of that kind of engines more than five miles long. The boiler for the new tur- bine, heating steam at 900 de- grees F., delivers 900,000 lbs. of steam an hour. To acquire 900 degrees temperature the boiler is fed with forty tons of pulverized coal per hour, along with suitable amounts of blast furnace gas. Enough coal was used to run generators last year to fill 19, 000 ordinary railroad cars of fifty-ton capacity. This would make a line 150 miles long. With this new equipment, the generating capacity was in- creased frem 200,000 to 326,000 horsepower. What is all this power used for? To help man realize one of his greatest dreams--transporta- tion--to go from one place to another quickly, conveniently, and with the minimum of effort. Yes indeed, the v onderful power of electricity has made many dreams of man ccme true. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1937 Early Spectators and Participants Found Their Places at the Race Track Taylor Wins Five Medals Through the participation of many jovial picnikers in vari- ous races, the track meet, staged June 26, at the annual outing at . Boh-Lo proved a suc- cess and quickly drew a crowd of spectators. Many participants and also spectators were sum- moned by A. B. Gorman's booming, This way to the trank, folks, rising above the noise of the rushing feet and the cheery voices. The novelties, slipper kick, rolling pin throw, bag race, and the envelope race raised bursts of hilarity from the crowds. Many liked to see a slipper go straight up or backwards as much as to watch the breathless fin- ish of a close race. Many spec- tators took snap shots of win- ners at the finish. Winner of three medals in previous outings at Bob-Lo, Clif- ford Taylor, winning five medals, Robert Kurz, who won four, and Frank Mugerdichian, who won three, monopolized the honors in the dashes, and the jumping events. In the slipper kick, slip- pers went in all directions. Mrs. Jean Lettau, the last of the contestants, gave a mighty kick and won the prize. Mrs. William Mueller showed her ability in wielding a weapon in the rolling pin throw. She was the only one of the many throwing wives to knock down the dummy although a few of the others had managed to hit it. Asked to throw again by the pho- tographer, she again hit the dummy, knocking it down. She says she is not used to having a dummy for a target, (is there something in this, Mr. Mueller?) The envelope race, substi- tuted for the egg and spoon race, provided merriment for the spec- tators when the men had to pick up their wives and race to the finish line. Before the finish of the race a few couples lay sprawled on the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Walker were the win- ning couple in this event. The popping o f bags in the bag race sounded like a minia- ture revolution. Steve Vigh and Eugene McAuliffe were the lucky ones in this race. There were many participants in each event and in seme there were as many as thirty-five contestants.

The Hawks scored eight times to completely subdue the Wildcats, Ray Ollinger held in check the heavy hitting Cats while his mates added to their lead in later innings. Hone runs were hit by Bar- low and Bumba for the Hawks while B. Washer hit for the cir- cuit for the Cats. Tennis Championship Won by Shingleton Frank McElroy Elected Captain of Varsity Born Just two blocks from Navin Field, Frank McElroy, Cap- tain Elect of the Craftsman, took to baseball like a duck takes to water. Frank says he was born a righthander, but today h e does everything i n the unorthodox manner. When he was gaining his first experience a 8 a ballplayer in the cities' empty lots, Frank'8 uncle made him throw and bat in the southpaw manner. A fine fielder with a strong arm, McElroy is a good .300 hitter and batted in the select circle i n his first year on the varsity. Frank has captained three intramural teams and twice his teams have captured the T-sec- tion championship in baseball. Twenty Boys Get $300 for Tickets at Dock Get your Bob-Lo tickets here, shouted twenty Henry Ford Trade School ticket sellers as the long line of fun-seekers marched down Woodward Avenue to the boat dock. As 9:15 a. m. arrived, the boat was so filled that it embarked. Another was immediately loaded, setting sail at 9:45 a. m. The ticket sellers left on the 9:45 a. m. boat, going promptly into a huddle to count the small change . Incidental- ly, the small change happened to be approximately $300 re- ceived from tickets sold at the dock. Charles Schueler, senior, and Harry Abraham, W-A-4, were the leading sellers. Schueler collected $29.30 and the latter $27.45. E. H. Bailey and J. J. Onderko had charge of all tick- ets sold at the dock. A total of 2183 tickets was sold in all, A. B. Gorman being ahead of the rest with 93 tick- ets sold. Ford Hawks Defeat Wildcats to the Tune of 13-9 In straight sets, using a barrage o f smashing volleys, John Shingleton, M-F-l, hammered Peter Quinn, senior, out of the J. Shingleton P. Quinn tennis finals at Bob-Lo by the score of 6-2, 6-2. Shingleton, who was sched- uled to play with Richard Schass- berger, W-G-2, won by forfeit. Quinn defeated John Fusoui, T-D-l, in the semi-finals, there- fore permitting Shingleton and Quinn to play in the finals. Both boys did a good Job battling for the championship in the hot melting sun, but Shingle- ton was master o f the situation from the beginning. Shingleton, who also en- tered the broad Jumping contest, won a medal and reported it to be lost. He would appreciate it if anyone knowing of its pres- ence would notify The Craftsman. Golf Tournament Tomorrow The golf tournament for stu- dents, instructors, and their wives or friends which could not be played at Bob-Lo because of wet grounds is scheduled to be played at the Birch Hill County Golf Club tomorrow. The golf events will start promptly at 8:30 a. m. with the men competing for a silver golf ball. The ladies will play for a silver statuette of a lady golfer. PAGE SIX THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1937 Pirates Win Hardball Championship in 7th Scoring a single run in the last inning, the W-sect ion Pi- rates broke a seven to seven deadlock to heat the T-section Lobos to win the school hardball championship on June 26 at Bob- Lo Island. Both teams scored in the first inning. The Lobos tallied twice with the help of a hit and two errors. The Pirates coun- tered with a single run an a walk and an error. The Champions b a t t e d a round in the third to score five runs on five hits and an error. Shanberger started this rally with the first Pirate hit. Leonard singled to right. Kas- perak doubled to left to score both runners. Hagen lined a two bagger down the foul line. Hoppe singled t o left and Hagen scored. Hoppe scored the final tally of the inning when Kaake' s grounder was kicked around by the Lobo infield. Here Sulli- van relieved Weiss on the mound for the Lobos and fanned the next two batters to end the in- ning. Then came the thrilling seventh inning. Woodcock lead- ing off was sent to first when Leach failed t o report to the umpire. McElroy forced Woodcock at second. Skutnick hit to third and when Kurz threw past first base he raced to second. McElroy stopped at third. Sulli- van went out but Balsano singled to score both runners. Balsano then scored the tying run when MacDonald threw past third in an Apprentices Down Varsity Good hitting on the part of the sluggers of the Apprentice School and poor pitching and hit- ting on the part of the Crafts- man varsity paved the way for the Apprentice School's victory, 19-3, at Bob-Lo, giving them possession of the Coffin-Nun- nelly Cup until next year. The winners collected 18 hits, led by J. Maff with a heme run, double and two singles while P. Koslouski and W. Bar- ren crowded his heels. A. Oliver, of the Craftsman, collected two of his team's five hits. A highlight of the game was shortstop A. Purdo's brilliant pickup of a sure hit although it was only one of the many made by the Apprentice School. J. Campbell and P. Benesh held the Craftsman to five hits. Shop Softball Champs The shop instructors cap- tured the instructors' softball championship by defeating the Apprentice School, 6-1, in the final game, having defeated the class a week before, 11-3. A cup given by the Wines Sport Shop was awarded to the winners. effort to pick him off. Laginess then bore down and fanned the next batter. With the score deadlocked and one out Hagen started the winning rally by lining a single to left. He scored the winning run when Hoppe's line drive bounded past Woodcock for a tri- ple. Class Loses to Shop in Hardball By the masterful pitching of Marvin Wrenbeck, the shop In- structors captured the annual baseball game against the class instructors at Bob-Lo Island, Saturday, June 26, by a score of 9-3. The class, managed by Row- land Scott of the chemistry de- partment, scored their three runs in the first inning when Gelmine, Twork, Richards, and Arthur hit safely followed by Jones with a smashing double down the left field line. The lead was short-lived, however, as the shop scored two runs in the second inning, and came back in the third to tie the score when Wrenbeck hit a 8 ingle, and after Walker had struck out, Vigh was safe on an error and Lynn was safe on a fielders choice scoring Wrenbeck. The shop, however, were not to be stopped as they scored three runs in the fourth inning, and came back in the fifth with three more bringing the score to 9-3, which served thru the re- mainder of the game. The class, however, played gamely and were the victims of much distressing luck, foremost, being the injury to Mr. Scott, their manager and pitcher, while sliding into third base in the third inning. A brilliant catch was made by Jones of the class team when he ran deep into the crowd to take a foul fly frem the bat of Vigh in the early part of the game.

Panthers and Swingsters Play in 100th The 100th intramural base- ball game to be played this sea- son was canpleted a t Miller School, June 21, the longest day of the year, and ended in a 6-5 victory for the W-section Pan- thers over the W-section Swing- sters. With Umpire Heinz watching closely the two captains, Crump of the Panthers, and Galagher of the Swingsters, flipped a coin, and the century mark in intramu- ral competition was reached. Batting first the Swing- sters scored two runs on hits by Taylor, Nagy, and Saracino, be- ing aided by Kaczmarek's error. The Panthers forged ahead in the second getting four runs on only two hits, but working three walks in between. The Panthers lead was short-lived because the Swingsters scored two runs in their half of the third. Knopp, first-sacker for the Panthers, opened their third with a triple and scored on Blocks double who later tallied as the rest of the side went out on grounders. Try- ing hard to tie the score the Swingsters could tally but once in their la3t two times at bat. The Swingsters lost a well played game to a senior team. Vasi Designs Emblems Credit for designing the intramural champions' emblems be- longs solely to Nick Vasi, M-C-2. The emblems replace letters worn b y intramural champions since sports were introduced here. These will be worn on two- tone Jackets of blue and gold. Panthers are the Champs The W-section Panthers, de- termined to take the Henry Ford Trade School playground ball championship, easily defeated the M-section Mohawks 11-5 at Bob-Lo, June 26. This brought the total of Panther victories to ten without a single loss for the season. Panthers scored three runs in the first inning when Block was safe on an error, was batted home by Knopp, who in turn came heme on Kaczmarek's four base wallop. Four more tallies were countered in the second on hits by LaMotte and Block, coupled with some bad fielding by the Mohawk players. The Mohawks scored two in third on a hit by McHugh, two walks, and a couple of errors. Two errors and a hit by Hagen gave Panthers three more runs in the eight. The hit was Hagen's first safety of the sea- son and when the Mohawks did not field the ball cleanly he came all the way home. He was prac- tically mobbed by the cheering Panthers. Harold McRay followed with a hit, his first in the last twelve times at bat. He was the leading hitter of the league at .667 when he fell in a slump. The never say die Mohawks scored one in the eight and two in the ninth to no avail. The Panthers scored one in the ninth to make the total at the finish of the game 11-5. The Panthers followed the game with a snake dance around the field to Mr. Richards, who presented them the awards. PAGE EIGHT THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JULY 9. 1937 Graduates Hold Dance great deal of laughter with his humorous mistakes. In introducing Clifford Laginess, Don said in part, I now want to introduce Clifford Laginess, editor-in-chief of The Craftsman and star pitcher of the varsity basketball team. Don reminded the audience that he was nervous, although it was not shown. Laginess, i n his talk, pointed out two meanings of the diploma that the boys recently received; saying it is a token that shows you have done the thing you set-out to do and you have proved that you can take it. Being able to take it was considered by Laginess to be an important quality, even more than the facts learned. Previous to the speeches, dinner, and introductions of the class presidents, A1 Rosowski, alumnus, furnished piano music. While taking a picture of A1 at the piano, 0. Rowland Scott, lit- erally brought down the dishes. The flare of the flash bulb frightened a waitress, carrying Green Island Sets Sail The newest canal boat, Green Island, to be added to the Ford Fleet set sail on her maid- en voyage July 2, 1937 at 7:20 a. m. Her cargo consisted of V- 8 motors, rear axles, wheels, gasoline lines, and brake drums. Part of this cargo will be re- loaded on the East Coast and ex- ported to Yokohama, Japan, and Dagenham, England. Ole Melling, formerly of the canal boat Edgewater, is a tray of dishes through a near- by door, causing her to loosen her grip, breaking every dish. Two graduating members, Louis Paganini and Hugh Miller, were presented with medals by F. S. Nicholson, drawing instructor, for their work in the students' quartet. Louis sings first ten- or, and Hugh, bass. Mr. Nichol- son told the boys that the gifts were from The Harmonizers. G. A. Yerex, personnel di- of the Senior Prom rector, who also spoke, gave a few remarks in praise of the graduates and their work. During the twenty-minute period previous to the arrival of the orchestra, entertainment was furnished. The instructors quartet; D. J. Morrisey, first tenor; F. S. Nicholson, second tenor; A. M. Wagener, baritone; and W. F. Dopke, bass; sang sev- eral selections. Edmund Wojtas recited Casey a t the Bat . Louis Paganini sang Blue Hawaii and Never in a Million Years Benny Kyte and his WXYZ orchestra rendered the dance music. During the intermission the Ford Dixie 8 entertained with songs and tap dancing. The dance lasted until 1:00 a. m. captain of the Green Island. This boat is propelled by twin screws. Each screw is driven by a 600 h. p. 8 cylinder Diesel. Each of the two direct current generators is driven by a 6 cyl- inder Diesel. Due to the com- pactness of the engine room, this boat has one more cargo hatch than her predecessors, Chester and Edgewater. Each screw of the Chester and Edgewater is driven by an 850 h. p. steam turbine. Their hulls studded with conventional Amphibian Ford Wanted There are two ways to reach Bob-Lo. One is not advisable. In proof of this we relate the sad tale of Robert Hennessey, W- B-l, and Howard Sole, former student. Clad in holiday attire, Bob and Howard set forth to enjoy a pleasant day. Arriving only seconds late for the first boat, they set out in search of re- freshments. Thoroughly r e- freshed, they returned to the dock in time to see the last boat of the morning putting to sea. But this failed to daunt the determination of these two hard-luck-heroes. To get into their trusty V-8 and race across the Ambassador Bridge into Can- ada was but the work of a few minutes. After receiving varied di- rections they followed the most feasible, and arrived in Amherst- burg, directly opposite Bob-Lo on the Canadian side. But alack and alas, they could find no means of transportation across the river. So about face and back to the motor city where they were lucky enough to catch the 3:30 p.m. steamer to the is- land. Seemingly hours later Henry Ford Trade School Alumni Club will have a meet- ing at Fisher Y.M.C.A. Thurs- day, July 15 at 7:00 p.m. All graduates are welcome. Fisher Y is across West Grand Boulevard from North- western High School. they arrived at Bob-Lo. Out they dashed, but one quick glance revealed the startling fact that all games and events of interest to them had already taken plane. Sadly and slowly they retraced their steps to the dock where the steamer tarried. Another swell day shot, moaned Bob, as they solemnly mounted the gangplank. Yes, and the gasoline, bridge fare, and tickets, Howard remarked brightly. projecting rivet heads. The hull on the Green Island is elec- trically welded, no projecting rivets. Hence there is consider- able saving in the size of the power plant. The boat is air conditioned. Dancing, a Highlight � geMHE .. T. ‘JT s £ V«
