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.

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.

Louis Warnik of the M-G-l class spent his Christmas vacation in St. Louis, Missouri visiting friends.

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.

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.

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.
