 $ubli h r$u (0f ? rab Vol. 1 MAY 8, 1936 No. 7 STUDENTS RENOVATE INDICATORS Approximately 300 to 400 dial indi- cators are repaired each month by the boya in the precision tool department. 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.

Stoeltlng Vol. 1, No. 7 Fri., May 8, 1936 IT PAYS A neatly tied tie, combed hair, creased trousers, and shined shoes are all signs of neatness that lend a spar- kle of cleanliness to a young man's everyday appearance. 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. Its pur- pose is to raise the health and social standards of students through activity. These sports are for you I Take advan- tage of them. Get into the game! Would you have a settled head. You must early go to bed; I tell you, and I tell't again, You must be in bed at ten. —N.
