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.

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.

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.

Although the mercury hovered near zero, graduates, their lady friends, and well- wishers arrived until the building was well filled. ATTENTION SINGERS!

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.
