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.

%l Craftsman ©f cf mru, ffarfr |Xrab Vol. 1 March 6, 1936 No. 4 ORCHESTRA LEADER RELATES CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Fire, beckoned. 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.
