Students, instructors, and officials of Henry Ford Trade School met in the little theater of the Ford Rotunda on October 1 to celebrate the twentieth anni- versary of Frederick E. Searle as head of the Ford Schools. The party was a complete surprise to Mr. Searle. Henry Ford, Edsel Ford, the school Board of Directors, and executives of Ford Motor Co. came to the stage after the pro- gram to congratulate Mr. Searle. Mr. Searle was conducted to the stage from the left wing on a false pretense by A. G. Coul- tan, of Ford Motor Co., And Dr. Earl L. Bedell, superintendent of Industrial Arts and Vocation- al Education, Detroit Public Schools. All stood and applauded as Mr. Searle looked about, appar- ently nonplussed. Frank Leach, student master of ceremonies, then told Mr. Searle the reason for the celebration. Music was provided by Rouge Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Robert R. Taylor. Solos were rendered by three students, Vaughan Heard, singing Without a Song ; Robert Mortimer, play- ing Polka Dew Drops on a cor- net; and Louis Turk, playing Bruno Polka' on the accordion. D. J. Morrisey, F. S. Nicholson, A. M. Wagener, and W. F. Dopke, instructor's quartet, sang Oh Play to Me Gypsy . Walter Maus was accompanist. William A. Simonds, editor- in-chief of Ford News and custo- dian of Greenfield Village, and W. J. Cameron, of Ford Sunday Evening Hour, talked. G. A. Yerex, personnel di- rector, in behalf of students and instructors, presented Mr. Searle with a reading chair and ottoman. Mr. Searle was given a hearty ovation by the 400 stu- dents who were present to pay him honor, as he tested the com- fort of the chair. Mr. Searle, then permitted to talk for the first time, said in part. Your committee has done a wonderful Job and yet they have failed completely in one detail. They neglected to provide me a manuscript. For the kind words of your chairman, Frank Leach, I am deeply grate- ful. To Mr. Yerex who has on your behalf so graciously pre- sented this beautiful furniture, (Continued on Page 3) PAGE TWO THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1337 ®hr draftsman Roitf: Ford Trade School Student.

'He will devote all his time to The 'Craftsman and each week will work with the section editor. In this way, both intricate and simple assignments will be dis- tributed among the members of the staff. The principal purpose of a senior editor is to assure a complete observation of the work going or. from one week to the other , and will also be on hand to get in contact with students and faculty in regard to sub- jected information. This type of work gives experience and may prove beneficial if pushed ahead. The color of paper has been Changed to secure a better qual- ity of pictures. It is 'hoped that .you will benefit much through the aid of The Craftsman. It is our aim to always push forwards and never backward's. After -all. The Craftsman is the talk of the school; it is yours, and we in- vite you tc take advantage of it t the fullest extent. Make use Rogers Gives Talk A championship is not won in the ring,11 burst forth Sher- man Rogers, famed lumberjack, ccwpuncher, prize fighter, world- wide traveler, and editorialist, in his speech to 400 Henry Ford Trade School students in the I Ford Rotunda theater, Wednesday, September 8� Locking the part of a cham- pion, having flung his coat a- side immediately after being in- troduced, he began telling how alcohol caused ''Battling” Nelson and later Wclgast to lose the j light weight championship. Con- tinuing, he advised those who wanted to be competent not use liquor, or smoke, and should be in bed by ten every night, ’ Liq- uor,' said he, does to you what carbon does to an engine. Mr. Rogers then spoke about the economic phases of industry, drawing his illustrations from personal experiences, Years ago, said he, I decided ho run away from all the complaints | about the Morgans and the Rocke- fellers. So I sailed for the Orient. He told how women un- load coal there with baskets. Wages fen cents a day. This j picture he contrasted with a man in our own country unloading coal with power machinery, re- j ceiving $1-0 a day. Having had this experience, he explained, I came to the conclusion that invention of labor saving de- v ices increases wages. ” Again speaking from experi- I ence, he enumerated five points which he wanted all to remsm- j her. 1. There are three sides i to every question. 2. There are 05$ of the people whe want to be square. 3, People can not rea- son and hate at the same time. . Be respectful. 5, Be toler- ant .

Mr. Guess Who was secre- tary of the school board in s small western city for a number of years. Later he became a candidate for mayor. He was called to speak before a large audience to give his -opinion as to whether saloons should stay open on Sunday . As he was op- posed to having saloons open cm Sunday , he lost the election by eighty-six votes. Mr. Guess Who formerly was a jeweler by trade, usually working on pocket watches, Wher. his eyes became too weak for this type of work, he came to Ford Motor Co. seeking employ- ment.

Will power can drive us for short spurts only, but a consuming desire will carry us to the end of the road. Expressing a belief that he felt Mr. Searle had a helpmate who aided in keeping his outlook on life wholesome throughout these years, Frank Leach called Mrs. Searle to the stage and presented her with a bouquet of flowers. After the program Mrs. E. Y. Peterson, Mrs. J. H. Wolfe, and Mrs. G. A. Yerex, accompanied Mrs. Searle to the stage to con- gratulate Mr. Searle._____ Morning Services Marks First Anniversary Attended by more than 175 persons, the first anniversary of the Morning Services, held each morning in Henry Ford Trade School auditorium at 7 a. m., was celebrated by a special pro- gram Wednesday, September 29. Speaker on this program was the Rev. Lee Cecil. Vaughan Heard, student, sang a solo. More than a year ago, be- fore starting work in the morn- ing, a few students and their instructor, E. 0. Sanders, sat on tool boxes and studied their (Continued on Page 8) Nielsen Returns After Three Months in Denmark Milk instead of soda water is used as a coolant in same small tool shops of Denmark, related Willy Nielsen, alumnus, who returned recently from a visit to his homeland. Since Denmark is a dairy country and has more than enough milk to supply its population, the sur- plus milk is used as a coolant because of its great efficiency in keeping cutting edges sharp. While in Denmark, Nielsen was given the privilege of using a Ford Junior car by Ford Motor Co. of Denmark for a period of four days. The body of this car is comparatively small; power is furnished by a four-cylinder en- gine. Running at a maximum speed of sixty miles an hour, it uses little or no oil, ex- plained Nielsen, plus the econ- omy of using only one gallon of gasoline to forty miles of trav- el. Sandwiches are Plentiful In restaurants, said Nielsen, the menu consists mostly of sandwiches, sometimes as many as 150 different kinds. One can buy a complete dinner from automatic food machines, such as we use for candy and peanuts. The schools in Denmark are different frcm. the American pub- lic schools, explained Nielsen. The children attend school un- til the age of fourteen, after which they must serve an appren- ticeship. They cannot change their apprenticeship, regardless how hard they try. They are re- quired to learn the English lan- guage, although they may choose between French or German as a side language. Advanced in Diesels In Denmark they are further advanced in Diesel engines them the United States. All fishing boats have Diesel engines. Trains emd trucks are also e- quipped with Diesel power. The number one favorite sport of Denmark is soccer. Long distance swimming is second. In schools every student must learn how to swim. It is re- ported that persons sometimes stay in ocean water as long as 23 hour8. Adams Awarded Five- Year Scholarship Eugene Adams, graduate of the June class of '35, received on September 10 a five - year scholarship offered annually by Lawrence Institute of Technology to the graduate of Henry Ford Trade School whose scholastic record and work since entering this school has been most meri- torious. Although I applied for the scholarship, it came as a sur- prise, Eugene stated, but I will make the most of the opportunity offered me. He will attend mechanical engineering classes three nights a week. Eugene had been think- ing of taking a college course in engineering but could see no way to accomplish this. The scholarship, Eogene said, will make it possible to fulfill my plans. In making the selection, the graduates's records ih class, shop, and Apprentice School were considered. On this basis F. E. Searle, G. A. Yerex, J. H. Wolfe, officials; and E. H. Bailey, instructor, selected Eugene, one of the fourteen applicants. When Eugene informed his mother he had received the award, she was overjoyed at the opportu- nity offered her son. Eugene had been attending engineering classes in Appren- tice School but will discontinue in order that he may devote his time to the classes at Lawrence Institute of Technology. He graduated from the regular Ford Apprentice course last fall. Apprentice School at 5p.m. Classes in Ford Apprentice School are in session from 5 to 6 p.m. for the first time. These classes are held for the benefit of the employees of the suburban plants of Ford Motor Co., and those in the Dearborn plant who wish to attend classes, but do not quit work until 4 to 5 p. m. Apprentice school students attending at earlier hours will not be affected. Adams PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1937 Text of William A. Simonds1 Talk Good Afternoon, Boys. As I was driving over here this afternoon from Greenfield Village, the thought occurred to me that all of us who have gath- ered in this rotianda are here largely because we serve the ideas and carry out the purposes of the same individual. For a brief moment, before we commence our talk, I would like to tell you a story. It is about a lad who en- tered high school in Detroit early in September, and when the principal asked his name, he re- plied: Henry Ford. Is that so? replied the principal. Well, that'8 quite a famous name around these parts. The lad straightened his shoulders quite importantly. That doesn't surprise me, he said. I’ve been delivering papers around this neighborhood for the last three years! As I was driving along, the thought came to me that while many institutions bear the name of Ford , very few bear both his names. We have the Ford car, the Ford Rotunda, the Ford Sun- day Evening Hour, the Ford News, and so on, but except for the Hospital and the Agricultural Institute in England, your Trade School is one of the very few to share the entire name. That fact, it seems to me, should stimulate you to enter wholeheartedly into the spirit of the school, as I am sur9 you do. You could give no better return to the man who founded the School, to the president who has watched over its progress, to the Board of Directors who govern it, and to the faculty who teach it, than to apply your- selves diligently and get every- thing possible out of it. Un- less you yourselves are success- ful in the particular work to which you direct your efforts, the School itself can not be successful. The purpose of our meeting here today is to commemorate the completion of twenty years of uninterrupted service by your superintendent. Later this month your school itself will come of age, I understand, when it passes its twenty-first birth- day; indeed, I am quite sure that it is older than most of you who are today enrolled among its students. It is impossible for us to consider the teacher without considering the school at the same time, for the two are inseparately linked together; and we might go farther and say that we cannot consider the teacher and the school without first considering the students. When the school was first organized back in 1916, the pur- pose was to make it different from the usual one, which was a cross between a technical col- lege and a school. In the old time trade school, boys could get a smattering of knowledge but did not learn how to use that knowledge. Mr. Ford's ob- ject was to teach boys to be pro- ductive, a thing that has been sadly neglected by so many of our schools of that day and since. Many boys need support; they must work at the first thing which comes to hand; they have no chance to pick and choose. Compelled to enter life untrained, they are unqualified to fill a post in modem indus- try. Three cardinal principles were laid down to guide the Henry Ford Trade School: first, the boy was to be kept a boy and not changed into a premature working man; second, academic instruction was to go hand in hand with industrial instruction; third, the student was to be given a sense of pride and re- sponsibility in hi 8 work, by working on objects of recognized Industrial worth. The school began with six boys. I will not attempt to in- clude a history of its progress or of the details which you know much better than myself. The fact that the man who was chosen to carry out these principles has remained at its head for twenty years is sufficient evi- dence that they have been car- ried out. And that brings us to a consideration of the man himself. Any man who in the course of his lifetime has had an op- portunity to be of service to hi8 fellows, seeks no thanks for that service. He finds gratifi- cation enough in the performance of it; it is he, if he be sin- cerely interested in his Job, who daily gives thanks that hia lot has been so ordered that it permits him to perform that serv- ice. For most of us, opportuni- ties of that kind come all too seldom. Many who would like to serve are prevented from doing so by the very nature of their tasks. Occasionally we are able to improve the status or by word of advice direct the course of one of our fellows into a more fruitful channel; but for the most part, we are limited. Any words of praise, like those of thank3, are equally un- necessary to one who serves his fellows. Every last one of us enjoys hearing that we have done a Job well, but compliments can- not take the plane of the inward sense of accomplishment that rests within the man himself. If he and his conscience are at peace, if he knows that he did the Job well, neither criticism nor praise can alter that inward feeling. It would be embarrassing to Mr. Searle if we were to recount here any tabulation of his work, or express an opinion of its merit publicly. If you are fa- miliar with the story of the school, you know how it grew from one room In 1916 to twenty- eight rooms in 1928; from 1,000 feet of floor space to 160,000, from 6 pupils to many hundred. These, however, are mere statis- tics that do not satisfy our de- sire to know more of the man himself and what these twenty years have done to him. When I was assigned to the pleasant task of reviewing his work, I took the liberty of go- ing among his instructors and students to seek their Judgment. They did not know I was getting material for this talk, neither did he. One of the things that im- pressed me most in these chats wa3 the common sense viewpoint with which he seems to meet the multiplicity of little problems arising daily. He frequently quotes Elbert Hubbard's eleventh commandment: Don't take your- self too damned seriously. That is perhaps one reason why no teachers' meeting has been held in over a year, while in some schools they are held week- FRIDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1957 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE FIVE ly. He explains it by saying that he has nothing to bawl out the instructors for. I think the men in this school know pretty well what is right, and what is wrong. he said. Why call them together and preach to them? A student who had graduated from the school recently wrote Mr. Searle a letter. In it he mentioned that he had been some- what of a devil while in the school, but one day he learned a lesson. He had thrown three pieces of scrap paper at a waste- basket and purposely missed the basket to irritate his instruc- tor. The pieces were still on the floor when Mr. Searle walked into the classrocm. He stooped, picked them up, and placed them in the wastebasket, but said nothing. The student added that this had made a lasting impres- sion on his mind. Another said that one of the things he has been impressed with in the school has been the sight of Mr. Searle in the school cafeteria, carrying his dishes from the table like any school boy. Another graduate, now in an office, had studied in th9 tool making course. How did that help you in office work? I ask9d him. It taught me to think, he answered. The instructors tell me that when a boy leaves the school, Mr. Searle calls him in- to the office alone, and there wishes him well. Such contacts, rare as they sometimes must be, are sufficient to inspire the young men with ideas of what one man may do for another. He is never too busy to re- ceive an idea from a student. If the boy is sincere and the idea worthwhile, he likes to hear about it. He may say No at first, but if the student has determination, (which he is try- ing to discover,) and has rea- soned out his problem, Mr. Searle will say: Let's try it out and see if it works. He will be the first to tell you that he has had to grow with the school, to learn about industry, what had to be taught and could be. He himself is one of the school's best students. Before he came to it he had no particular experience in indus- trial education. Today he is an authority; many vocational schools and departments of schools are based on his work or largely influenced by it. Text- books of the school were to a large extent written under his supervision and approved by him; now they are used throughout the world. Mr. Ford'8 idea that a boy can study profitably when he sees what he is doing; when his textbook is experience in prac- tical work, forms the foundation of the school. Carrying out that idea has been the superin- tendent's Job. As a result, we have seen the development of apprentices of industry as a whole rather than the one-time narrow study of one particular trade without a working knowl- edge of the whole. He urges that a boy obtain as broad a knowledge of Industry as possi- ble, specializing later. More than this, he insists that skill without character is worthless. When he received an honor- ary master's degree from his alma mater, Williams College, he declared that the honor was the Trade School's not his. In the final analysis, we should go for our Judgment of this teacher to his students. In their school paper, The Craftsman, recently appeared such an analysis, prepared by the boys in an attempt to de- scribe their superintendent with- out mentioning his name. Here is what they wrote: He is liked by many. He is neat, courteous, a lover of nature, and a strong upholder 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 tak- en up and about the Trade School, he still finds time to pursue his hobbies, among which are gardening, flori-culture, and fruit growing. Tact, diplomacy, and natural humor are features which account for his popular- ity. To this, speaking in a hum- ble way for the organization in which I am privileged to serve, let me say to you, Mr. Searle, that our gathering here today is proof that industry is not too busy, too wrapped in its own concerns, too hard, to pause this afternoon and pay this trib- ute for the manner in which you have carried out your trust. No words of ours, of course, are needed to tell you that you have dons well. We know you would prefer to go along quietly and modestly performing your service without all this furore and hul- labaloo. But since it is the unanimous wish of your students, your faculty, your directors, and all of us who know you, to do this thing, on their behalf I now congratulate you on the twentieth anniversary of your work as superintendent of the Henry Ford Trade School. Good luck, and God bless you. ______________________ Senior Wins Scholarship at Wayne Isaia Red Petovello, a graduate of the January class of '36, won a four-year music schol- arship at Wayne University, De- troit, September 13, by playing on the alto horn an excerpt from a symphony he had never seen. Out of 700 entrants,.100 were given scholarships. From these, a concert band is to be formed. Isaia'8 musical ambition was aroused when he heard the school band play. Although his father forbade him to take trump- et lessons, Red began taking lessons while in the eight grade at Melvindale High School, under the supervision of Joseph Vandervest. The only way he could practice was at the home of his schoolmate. One year later Red in- vited his father to come to a school concert and hear him play a solo part. This his father did and was delighted by his son'8 showing, but was not for- ward in his Joy because of Red's disobeying him. His father died in 1933. Red is now working for a Bachelor of Arts degree in music at Wayne, attending three nights a week. Now connected with a ten piece dance orchestra, the tri- ple tongueing of Red and his trumpet is very pronounced. His ambition is to become a teacher of music or a leader of an or- chestra. The Better your Vocabulary, the Better you will read. PAGE SIX THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1937 Text of W. J. Cameron's Remarks This should be a lesson to Mr. Searle. A man can't go on doing what he has done for 20 years without his reputation catching up with him. There's nothing sudden or accidental about his exposure-- he has been under surveillance for a long tirae--day in and day out for a long time, Sir. His older students are experienced men now and able to draw their own conclusions. They have com- pared notes with his younger students, and all the evidence points the same way. Educators have came here to look into this matter; magazine writers and newspaper reporters have been on his trail; the keen eyes of industrial leaders have been watching him. There isn't a chance for even a Scotch verdict,—the case has been proved up to the hilt. And the findings--without a dis- senting voice--are these: That the said Frederick Searle is a Man, a Teacher, a Friend:—a Conciliator, a Counsellor. He is the Helper of slow minds and ambitious minds; the Aider of all who would make something of themselves. And there is not a word that we can say to modify the verdict. I am glad to share in this occasion, and I thank whoever it was that invited me. It seems that when the invitation first came I did not understand what it meant--thought it was a re- quest for a speech, and I avoid speeches whenever possible. But when I later learned what was afoot, I would have come even if I had to crash the gates. My acquaintance with Mr. Searle is as long as my service with the Company, and through the years I have learned not only to respect his character as a man, but also to admire his vision and ability as a teacher. I am quite sure that he would not approve all this em- phasis on himself personally. He and I and all the rest of us are keenly aware that the op- portunity given him to guide and administer this school, and giv- en me to do my work, and given you to improve yourselves--that this opportunity was not created BY US: it was created FOR U3 by the man who has created opportu- nity for so many other millions of persons during the last 34 year8, and what we have had to do was to make the best possible use of the opportunity offered. That is always in the back of our minds when some little praise comes our way individu- ally— What could I have done if Henry Ford had not made the op- portunity for me? That is not only true here but everywhere. Mr. Ford him- self might say of HIS great work: What could I have done, if gen- erations of men and women had not built this great America for us; if generations of scientists and engineers had not labored to lay the foundations of knowledge which we are working to com- plete? We are all the benefici- aries of other men's work, and that constitutes our deepest re- sponsibility to make such use of it that other men may be the beneficiaries of our work. It is an endless chain of recipro- cal benefit. Of course, Mr. Searle has made remarkable use of the un- usual opportunity that was of- fered him here. He has trans- lated with whole-hearted and in- telligent zeal the Ford Idea of preparing young men to take the best advantage of their opportu- nities. If anyone doubts that IS a Ford Idea, .let him only try to find it somewhere else—he will discover that nowhere on earth does it exist in connec- tion with an industry, as it does here. But the point about Mr. Searle is that HE WAS PRE- PARED to take advantage of his opportunity when it came. I don't suppose it ever dawned on him in his early years of work that he would be doing what he is doing now. But he went on learning and working, working and learning,--PREPARING HIMSELF BY EVERYTHING HE DID--so that when he turned the corner of his life that led him into the am- bushed hour where this opportu- nity waited for him, he did not need to run away, he was pre- pared to tackle it. In himself your Principal is an object les- son of what he is teaching here --PREPARATION. I don't suppose many of ua really understand what a great school this Henry Ford Trade School is. We are too close to it. I have often said to audi- ences elsewhere that if this school stood apart, in another city, where it could be seen by itself—not as we see it, over- shadowed by this great industry --it would stand out as one of the most remarkable educational demonstrations in the world. That is what famous educators have frequently said. But per- haps it is too much to expect that the students here should always see it in that light. I tell college graduating classes that their college or university doesn't care a nickel what they think of their school on Ccm- mencement Day—the faculty will stand b y what the graduates think of the school 25 years after graduation. And when you see gray-haired grads flock back to the campus year after year, you know what that means. It is the same with your school. A year or so ago I attended a dinner given by hundreds of old graduates of your school, and I know what they felt,—I know what they said as to what the school had meant to their ca- reers—and the school you have today Is a better one than they had. Perhaps we can read your future verdict in your tribute to Mr. Searle today. I don't know who to con- gratulate most--you or him. You have done honor to yourselves in honoring him. FCA Met in Lansing; O'Rear, Treasurer Emmette O'Rear, senior, was elected treasurer of the Future Craftsman o f America at the state meeting in East Lansing, Saturday, September 25. Twelve boys and advisor from Henry Ford Trade School chapter attended. An invitation was extended to FCA to hold their second na- tional convention in Detroit in conjunction with the 1938 De- troit and Michigan Exposition it J anuary. Contests in technical effi- ciency would be conducted it which national delegates froc high school chapters would com- pete for the benefit of exposi- tion patrons. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1937 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE SEVEN Walthausen Tells of Visit to Germany It seemed strange to come tack to a land overflowing with automobiles, remarked Erich Von Walthausen, Henry Ford Trade School drafting instructor, aft- er returning from a three weeks' stay in Germany. The first thing I noticed when entering Germany, contin- ued Mr. Walthausen, was the large number of cyclists. This is because automobiles are too expensive. Many one-cylinder cars are still being used while others do not have a differen- tial. For a small fee, one may cycle through well kept forests and parks in which specially prepared paths have been made. Youth Hostel All over Germany is a great movement called the Youth Hostel. It is an organization that en- ables youth to travel over their country for little cost. These hostels, explained Mr. Walt- hausen, are like inns except that the lodging is much cheaper and they are usually run by an old War Veteran and his wife. The paths that lead to the Hos- tels are cycling paths and in the summer time are full of cycling girls and boys. The German youth is rugged, hearty, and athletic, despite the fact that he was brought up on unwholesome food of which the late war gave plenty. The students are growing cleaner and straighter nowadays. One of Chancellor H i t 1 e r's stressing points in the Youth Program is temperance. He wants the youth of Germany to neither drink nor smoke. Not a few of them are taking heed of this. The public schools are very different, compared to Amer- ican schools, remarked Mr. Walt- hausen, for the boys are sepa- rated into one part of the school and the girls in the oth- er . The German government does not believe in co-education, so the only time they meet is out of school, in plays, choirs, gymnasiums, recess, and Christ- mas festivals. The schools are something like our public schools. They have the same subjects and now (Continued on Page 8) Bowling League Opened With 18 Teams Amid the rumble of bowling ball8 and the tumbling of pins, the bowling championship opened Tuesday, September 21; 8:15 p.m. G. A. Yerex, personnel director, opened this event, the 1937-38 bowling season for the instruc- tors of Henry Ford Trade School, much to the delight of those present, by rolling a strike. Soon the whole hall was filled with cheers, ninety-nine players composing eighteen teams and nine substitutes, became en- gaged in a scramble for honors. Pins began falling everywhere, and bowlers, all decked in white shirts with special monograms, were congratulating each other on their success. Some were se- rious and others carefree as they tried to emulate the pat- tern set by Mr. Yerex. Bowlers established their handicaps the first two evenings of play. The officers in charge of the bowlers are: A. N. Edel, president; J. F. Nagy, secretary; and B. C. Brewen, treasurer. The Argyle Recreation man- agement stated that Henry Ford Trade School Bowling League was one of the few 18-team leagues that is desirable. Saying fur- ther, Most large teams are top heavy, but these fellows are fine to have around. Basketball Gets Underway Basketball practice will begin Wednesday, September 29, according to coach Veraie F. Richards, who is planning an eight game schedule, comprised of a nine team league. The teams, consisting of 8 to 10 players, will be made up from the A, B, and C classes. The C classes will be able to have players from other classes. This year there will be three Craftsman basketball teams; a varsity composed of the ten best players, a reserve team which includes 20 players, and a midget team consisting of boys from the E, F, and G classes. All boys wishing to prac- tice, may use the Miller School Gym, available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 3:30 p.m., and on Tuesdays and Thurs- days at 4 p.m. Epps Signs Contract for Cardinal Farm By striking out the first six batters who faced him, Charles Epps, former Henry Ford Trade School student, gained for himself the distinction of being the first Crafts- man player t o earn a profes- sional baseball contract. Epps, who threw only two balls in pitch- ing strikes to six batters, during tryouts at the St. Louis Cardinal base- ball school held recently at Flint, Michigan, was one of nine given contracts out of 800 youths attending. Other Henry Ford Trade School students attending were William Sonnen- berg, Milton Cross, and Edward Strach. In 1936, Charles captained the Craftsman team of Henry Ford Trade School and gained recogni- tion as a player with exception- al ability, winning ten games while losing only three. This year, however, he suf- fered from an attack of appen- dicitis and was unable to play during the Craftsman schedule. His absence greatly weakened the teams pitching staff and was no- ticeable thru the entire cam- paign. He later played for the Schrader-Haggerty team in the Inter-County League. V. F. Richards, coach, and his Craftsman players Join in wishing him a successful future in the baseball field. He will report for spring training at Albany, Georgia, next April. Tennis Practice Resumes Tennis players wishing to play for Henry.Ford Trade School are requested to contact L. H. Bartholomew, chemistry instruc- tor. Practice is being held on Monday and Wednesday of each week at; i Baby Creek Park, Wood- mere at Vernor Highway W. Students reporting are urged to bring tennis shoes and rackets. Promising candidates will be entered in the State Tournament next spring. PAGE EIGHT THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1937 W E ED E3 Louis Paganini, senior, went to Hollywood, California on his vacation and had the pleas- ure of meeting Lupe Velez, Bing Croshy and wife, Robert Taylor, and Edmund Lowe. Henry Ford came to school recently. He is enrolled in the T-G-l class, hearing the badge number 1562. Instructors married during the vacation months are: Wilber L. Goehmann, July 3; Kasimiras (Smoky) Smulkstis, September 4; Howard Bentley, July 10; Frank Paluchniak, September 28. The subject of the last Guess Who of Volume 2 was an imaginary figure used to keep the faculty and students guess- ing. _______________________ Services Marks First Year Sunday School lessons. More students Joined this group, and in the latter part of September 1936, Bert Buettner, Ernest Oz, Richard Marrow, and David Berry, students, asked for and received permission from Supt. F. E. Searle for the use of the audi- torium. Wilbert Harden, instructor of machine construction depart- ment, volunteered his services as pianist; William Colbert, of Ford Motor Co. hospital, volun- teered as song leader. Two Testaments are given away each morning. Money for these books is being donated by interested instructors. Flowers were donated by Varkes Tavtigian, T-A-2, for the anniversary program. The instructors and stu- dents of Henry Ford Trade School wish to express their heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. J. H. Pauli and family in the death of her husband and their father, to Louis Pag- anini in the death of his father, to Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Bonaventura in the death o f their daughter, Jean Gail, and to E. F. Mor- rin in the death of his father. Poole Enjoys Camping Trip to Canada A two-week camping trip with all expenses paid. Can any- one ask for a better vacation? It so happened that Douglas Poole, T-F-l, was the represent- ative of Henry Ford Trade School on a trip sponsored by Acme Cam- era Co. Each year the company sends forty boys to Shrimmers Island to enjoy a vacation on the French River, Canada. Before leaving, a banquet was held for the boys, guides, and sponsor. Pictures were taken by Acme Camera Co., The Detroit News, Times, and Free Press. Douglas said another banquet is to be held soon for the boys who made the trip and their parents. The trip started on August 21. The boys were driven in cars to Calender, Ontario, where they saw the famous Quints in their play house, and the hot dog and souvenir stand run by Mr. Dionne. From there they were driven to Brampton where they boarded the steamer Seagull. The boat took them through Lake Nipissing to Shrimmers Island, which is in the French River. During their stay the boys went swimming, boating, and fish- ing every day. They visited the Indian Village where they saw a one-room schoolhouse attended only by Indian children. Much to Douglas' surprise, the school was beginning a new term. They also visited a lodge across the river where they sang at a lady s birthday party. On Sundays, the Catholic boys went to the lodge for church; Protestants stayed on the island where they had a church of their own. Lester Amore, '27, is work- ing in the Cadillac Motor Car Division as a Carboloy too] grinder. Howard Arcon, '29, is work- ing his way through Aeronautical College, University of Chicago.

The letter, together with a picture showing Mr. Davies with the Lucas School baseball team, was received a few weeks ago by Howard Wagner, instructor in the mill depart- ment, and close friend of Mr. Davies. The letter and picture were shown to the instructors who had worked with him. Mr. Davies was an instruc- tor of toolroom bench work for four years. He left the school during the depression to go back to England. Although Mr. Davies is unknown to most boys attend- ing our school today, he is re- membered by many instructors. The Lucas Trade School is for boys 17 to 19 years of age. Sixty students are enrolled. Mr. Davies, always an ar- dent Tiger fan while he lived in Detroit, has organized a base- ball team in the Lucas School. Although this was its first sea- son of play, the Lucas team col- lected seven bats presented by the Daily Mirror of London. One bat was presented each week to the team having the highest av- erage in batting. Announcem ents Henry Ford Trade School Alumni Club has access to the swimming pool at the Adams YMCA on Adams avenue off Woodward. All graduates are invited to at- tend. It is requested that all boys meet in the main lobby at 10 a. m., Saturday, October 23. F. S. Nicholson, drawing instructor, extends an invita- tion to all boys who like to sing, especially those who en- rolled for the Glee Club, to ap- pear in the auditorium from 3 to 4 p. m. each Monday. _________OCTOBER 22, 1937_______ Apprentice School Filled to Capacity Hundreds of students ap- plying for entrance into Ford Apprentice School are turned away, is a statement issued by its director, J. H. Wolfe, re- cently. In addition, A-class students of Henry , Ford Trade School are not enrolled now as was formerly the custom. Stu- dents are turned away because of unavailable classrooms. Enrollment in this division of the Ford Schools is 3500 stu- dents, requiring the services of 21 classroom instructors and six apprentice foremen. At only one time was the enrollment larger-- in 1929, 3800 students, 23 class- room instructors, and eight ap- prentice foremen. The darkroom in the met- allurgy department is being en- larged to permit more students to go into that room at one time and receive instruction. Changes in Faculty During the past year there have been changes in the faculty. Charles Sgro has been appointed as head of the drawing depart- ment to succeed J. H. Pauli. Mr. Pauli was killed in an auto- mobile accident last summer. George Petzer and Gardner Colman have been made instructors in this department. Mr. Petzer was graduated from Henry Ford Trade School in 1931. Mr. Colman holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan and was graduated from Ford Apprentice School. In the mathematics depart- ment William Mueller is now head instructor, successor to J. W. Busman who is now teaching draw- ing at Cass Technical High School. William Teeple, who was apprentice foreman in N-711-A, is teaching mathematics. Mr. Teeple was graduated frcan HFTS and Ford Apprentice School.

Vol. 3, No. 2 Fri., Oct. 22, 1937 Now, We Are 21 Henry Ford Trade School can now vote. We are 21. On Oct. 25, 1916 the school began with 8lx students and one instructor. Now there are more than 1700 students and nearly 300 instruc- tors. During this growth the school gained international re- cognition. The students, the instruc- tors, the executives, and the founder, Henry Ford, should he commended for the success of this school. Recently the twen- tieth anniversary of Supt. F. E. Searle was celebrated. During that period he cultivated the ideas established by Mr. Ford. The experiences and contribu- tions of these have stored-up a great heritage for all present and future students. Indeed, A Great Heritage. We are now of age, perhaps matured. What is then left? What can now be done, after so much has been done? Since the school has passed through the period of adjustment, the period of greatest physical growth, the time has came for real contribu- tions. Henry Ford Trade School students, having the greatest laboratory in the world on their campus--the whole Ford Motor Co. —, are in a position to make real contributions. The progress during the next 21 years will be determined by how much students avail themselves of the past ex- periences and the present day equipment. Walthausen Tells of Visit to Germany The previous, issue of The Craftsman stated that this story would be Con- tinued on Page 8. It did not appear there. Here it is. The last portion of the story printed described the educational system of Ger- many. The schools are something like our public schools. They have the same subjects and now the students are being taught English instead of French. None of the factory schools are exactly like ours, because the boys work in the factory in the morning and then go to school in the afternoon or evening. Combating Disease The present trend in com- bating diseases of the fruit trees is done by using natural fertilizer, instead of spraying with poison. In the country, as well as in the city, the trees and parks are well taken care of. The cities are very clean, as the citizens never throw paper or rubbish on the streets. Before entering Germany, it is wise to change American currency into the German 'trav- elers mark' instead of taking the 'dollar' and changing it afterwards in the country, ex- plained Mr. Walthausen. The difference in the number of 'marks' received is almost dou- bled. Although most of the German people are too poor to afford them, they love their operas and music so much that great crowds are gathered at every perform- ance . Many Tongues Spoken In an attempt to secure in- terpreters for foreign visitors, a survey was conducted recently by Edward Plotrowski, M-A-l. The report shows that approximately 180 boys speak a total of twenty- six different languages. Speakers in Italian, Polish, Hungarian, German, and Rumanian lead the poll in order. (G3QU1ESSSE W ZdH© Happy Birthday, Mr. Guess Who ! This gentleman was bom in Lafayette, Indiana,. exactly 39 years ago today. His quick, light step sug- gests the speed and the agility, which won for him a position on an Indiana State basketball championship team when he was a senior in high school. He enlisted in the World War, Company 150 Machine Gun Corp, two day8 after war was de- clared, thus sacrificing his college career at Purdue Univer- sity. Mr. Guess Who saw ac- tive service on nine different fronts. Unfortunately he was the victim of phosgene gas in the Champagne sector of France. As a result, he spent two years under hospital observation. This instructor, although a small tar- get, would in all probability have lost his head if it had not been for the steel helmet which he wore in battle. During a seige of bombardment, he raised his head once too often, and a piece of flying shrapnel tore- off a good portion of his helmet. Besides being adept at ten- nis and basketball, he enjoys playing on the Henry Ford Trade School bowling team. It was stated by a collegue that he likes swimming if the water doesn't exceed three feet in depth. This instructor was em- ployed by Ford Motor Co. in 1921 He has been with Henry Ford Trade School since it opened at Dearborn, 1927. He is 5 ft., 5 in. tall, weighs 120 lbs., and has dark hair, slightly grey at the edges. He does not know about this write-up, although he has missed the foregoing picture, which usu ally lies on his desk, accusing his children of tearing it up. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1937 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Safety Club Organized A safety club is organized in Henry Ford Trade School. The purpose of the club Is to make students more safety minded and to find more beneficial safety measures. As these ideas circu- late through the school, it is hoped that all will realize An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is not the duty of these boys to act as policemen, but to spread the gospel of safety. The club is composed of four boys from each section. Elmer Benzing, M-B-l, being in charge. At the end of each shop day the eight boys report to Elmer, who makes a single report to W. H. Moore, transfer crib. The following boys were se- lected for safety duty: Elmer Benzing, George Robosan, Walter Maus, Edward Komorowski, all of M-section. The T-section group includes, Frank Leach, Fred Sutton, Robert-Walker. and James Jayroe. The W-section is repre- sented by Robert Hennessy, Paul Khopp, Laverne Ford, and John Lofquist.

Swat the fly. Yes, but don't destroy all insects, for insects have an important value in our scheme of living. Out of more than 500,000 known species only 300 are de- structive. Although insects de- stroy 10$ of our crops, they are partly responsible for the suc- cess of the other 90$. The destruction of dead and decaying animals and plant bod- ies, otherwise a continuous men- ace to health, is done by in- sects. The Scientific American for September 1935, states that dur- ing the world war wounds neg- lected until they were infected with maggots healed better than those treated medically. It Is A ping pong table is available at Miller School for those wishing to play. A tournament is scheduled for January. further claimed that this treat- ment is now adapted under sani- tary conditions in modern sur- gury. The praying mantis feeds on plant lice, flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and caterpillars. En- tomologists call it Public Friend Number One. The dragon fly, although he looks like a mean customer, is really a friend. He preys on mosquitoes, gnats, and flies. A lady bug makes short work of plant lice and scale insects. The doodle bug or suit lion, as he is called in seme sections, builds pits in sand and traps destructive ants. Morning Service Notes Morning Service group is in- vited to take complete charge of evening services in Berkley Com- munity Church, 7:30 p. m., Sun- day, Oct. 31. The permission was given by the Rev. Orrin Van Loon, pastor, who was guest speaker at the Morning Services recently. All students and in- structors are invited to attend. The Rev. P. D. Doty, of Wesleyan Methodist C h u r c h, Romulus, Michigan, will speak on Gouind, the Indian Boy at the services, Thursday morning, Oct. 28. Beeball Introduced as Intramural Game Beeball, a combination of football and soccer, has been introduced and is played by stu- dents of Henry Ford Trade School. After several weeks of practice games, sixteen teams have en- tered the tournament. The game is played by two teams of nine players each, four forwards, four guards, and one goalguard. Players may play any- where on the field except when a free kick is made. They must then stay at least five yards from the person kicking. Except when the ball is declared dead, it may be kicked by any player, at any time. A ball Is declared dead after every score, after a legal tackle which is accom- plished by tagging the possessor of the ball with both hands, and after a foul. Upon receiving a fly-kicked ball a player may run with or pass the ball. Scoring is done exactly as in football. Intramural Basketball Schedule Fri. - Oct. 8 M-B Vs. M-C Wed. - Oct. 13 T-A •.

Hugh Miller, senior, sang two solos over WWJ during the Morning Devotion program, at 7:15 a. m., Wednesday, Oct. 13. Albert A. Knowles, instruc- tor of precision tool department, was the subject of last week's Guess Who .________________ Apprentice School Filled Mr. Teeple. Lester Twork, a graduate of Michigan State Normal and Ford Apprentice School, is teaching metallurgy. Nine of the 21 Apprentice School instructors were grad- uated from Henry Ford Trade School. They are: Fred Jones, Raymond Shilium, George Petzer, Raymond Hollander, Fred Schiller, Joseph Coultier, Harold Young, William Teeple, and William Mue11er._________________ Orchestra Resumed Mr. Glassley said, Eight hours for sleep, eight hours for work, what are you going to do with the other eight? If the boys are willing to devote their own time to such a worthy cause as a school orchestra, the least I can do is devote my time and efforts toward helping them. Mr. Glassley also said that the orchestra is in need of a piano player. Coolants Aid Efficiency High speed produces fric- tion. When friction bee canes too great, cutting tools become in- efficient. Coolants reduce fric- tion and increase efficiency. In our school shop four differ- ent coolants are used. Soluble oil, commonly known as soda water, is used because of its relatively low cost. Sol- uble oil is used for general ma- chine and lathe work, while tur- pentine and Sunoco are used when cutting special metals, such as, copper, brass, and aluminum. Lard oil is used for mill, lathe, and drill work. The Ford Motor Co. has its own coolant department which pumps a continuous supply to all parts of the factory. A. M. Wagener, shop theory instructor, says it was the prac- tice in the railroad shops to place a wick in a tin can, hav- ing holes punctured in its bot- tom, thus allowing water in the can to seep through the wick on- to the cutter. From another source the story is told that men would chew a big wad of tobacco and spit a brown stream of Juice on the hot cutter to reduce fric- tion. The inefficient coolant system, however, was soon brought to an end, for new and better coolants were devised.

School Plays Host Eighteen boys under the direction of E. H. Harsh were guests of Henry Ford Trade School August 24 and 25. The group, representing the Hoover Vacuum Co. of North Canton, Ohio were on a trip to East Tawas, Michigan. While on their stay in Detroit, the boys camped at Ford Field in Dearborn. The boys were taken on a tour of Detroit, and the Ford factory in Ford Motor Co. busses Henry Ford Trade School proved to be a point of interest to them. After viewing all de- partments, they ate lunch in the cafeteria, then toured the fac- tory of Ford Motor Go. In the Rolling Mill they were amazed as they followed the transforma- tion of an ingot into a long thin strip of steel. Brief as their visit was, it was enough for them to cast an unanimous vote, We want to come again. 3h? draftsman 3 PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS OE HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL NOVIMBER 5, VOL. 5, NO. Young Chinese Student Relates Native Customs There have been very few Chinese hoys to enroll in Henry Ford Trade School. The first wa3 Bennie Wong who graduated in 1923, and the present one is Howard Tom, G- class student. Howard was horn in Detroit. Until enrolled in the Trade School, he had never eaten much food cooked in American fashion. At home his fa- ther, a Dearborn laund r y m a n, makes the chop suey, while his mother prepares the other foods. Nearly all of Howard's rel- atives live in China, where his mother was horn. His father went to China from the United States at an early age. Chinese Customs Telling of some of the Chi- nese customs, Howard said, Aft- er a Chinese has been dead for a year or so, his remains are dug up by relatives and are placed in a huge clay Jar in a skeleton form. Then the remains are tak- en to a near by mountain and buried again. Concrete is poured over the grave for pro- tection. No matter on what day of the year a Chinese is bom, his birthday is celebrated on New Year's day. This makes it one of the happiest days of the year. Although Howard is 13 in America, he is 15 in China. At birth a Chinese is 1 year old, and then on the following New Year's day he is 2 years old. Except to raise families, girls are not wanted in China. Chinese mothers hope that their babies will be boys, for they must support their parents. If there are too many girls in a family, they are likely to be given away or sold to rich fam- ilies as maids. This is an old custom, however, and not fol- lowed so much at present. Dr. Verne Fryklund's Speech at Banquet Private schools have pio- neered the way in trade training. They have dared do the things that was said could not be done. They have proved its importance to the public, and consequently we have trade training in public schools today. Private schools can lead the way because, for most of them, cost is not a fac- tor. Trade training is as old as civilization. Records show that more than 2200 years before the birth of Christ trade training was required by the Jews. It was a law that every father had to train his son. Not to train a son meant to train him to be a social parasite. In England guilds were es- tablished so boys could learn a trade under skilled craftsmen. Master craftsmen were required to take apprentices into their home to live, feeding and cloth- ing them. Later a period of specialization was bom. The demand for manufactured goods increased. Skilled craftsmen became employers, and appren- tices became employees. After the Civil War, mass production became more and more necessary.

Memberships Forty boys, some who are students of Henry Ford Trade School, will receive memberships for one year in the Y.M.C.A. as a result of recent contributions by instructors. Approximately $200 was contributed. During the month of October the Y.M.C.A. sponsored a member- ship drive. Henry Ford Trade School has participated the last four years. For a boy to be eligible to receive membership, he must be between the ages of 10 and 17, and must be recommended by some person who knows that the boy, due to his financial status, is unable to pay for his own member- ship. Instructors may submit names of worthy boys to G. A. Yerex, Room 1. The Alumni Club will spon- sor another dance at the Ball- room Grande, Grand River at Joy Road, Saturday, Nov. 13.

Vol. 3, No. 3 Fri., Nov. 5, 1937 It Should Continue It was suggested, recently that the anniversary banquet should be held only every five years, the next in 1941. That is too long. Objections are that it is too hard to get in- structors to attend. That is unfortunate. Maybe the programs are at fault. If so, they can be changed easily. This is a great school. If this event be dropped, what pro- vision is left for alumni and instructors to get together? Alumni of other great institu- tions are glad to return to hone comings. Our alumni will return too if we make them welcome. This publication proposes: (1) Continue the anniversary par- ties. (2) Make no attempt to get a large attendance. (3) Do every thing possible to have a worthwhile program. Don't let this thing die. If only a dozen are inter- ested, that is sufficient.

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 cho- sen work. However, it is possi- ble for a boy to choose another, even if he is making good at what he is learning, provided conditions permit and the boy does not wait until he is too old before making his wishes known. But it should be remem- bered, it is the aim of this school to give every student a general training. Is a welders Job bad for your eyes. I have heard several say it was. H. C. Annette and H. J. Hawn, instructors of the welding department, have been welding for 19 years. They said welding has never affected their eyes. Each year their eyes are tested in the main hospital of Ford Motor Co. The tests have shown 20-20, which means a perfect eyesight. Although some men say that it has affected their eye- sight when it comes to bowling.

Writers do their best to bring forth their thoughts to the readers. Read and study each argu- ment before attempting to criti- cize. Criticism is often un- justly administered.

(JGHUDEffiJE SWdH© Mr. Guess Who was born in Ilion, New York. During his high school years he played foot- ball and basketball. At the age of 19 he became an apprentice at the Remington Typewriter Co. He came to Detroit in 1914 and started working in the Highland Park Plant of Ford Motor Co. He worked on the first dies that were cast for the liberty air- plane motors. In 1929 he came to the Rouge Plant, becoming an instructor of Henry Ford Trade School in 1930. He is fond of fishing, hunt ing, and swimming. Mr. Guess Who related the story of his first hunting trip. Armed with a borrowed shotgun, and accompa- nied by a friend and the friend's dog, our subject went hunting one winter day. The dog flushed a rabbit and chased it over to the hill's summit. Wher suddenly the rabbit appeared at the top of the hill with the dog in close pursuit, Mr. Guess Who raised the trusty twelve- gauge, and blazed away. The shot cleanly missed the rabbit, and nearly killed the surprised dog. Mr. Guess Who is marriec and has three children. He if 5 ft., 6 in. tall, weighs 15C lbs., has brown hair, brown eyef and wears rimless glasses. Hf is head of a department of boys and 4 instructors. He usu- ally wears a black bow tie tc work. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1937_________ Give it the Gun! George Maconochie and hie buddy, Lieut. Russell A. Ross, watched the ground came up to meet them, spinning as it came. As a crash seemed unprevent- able, Mr- Maconochie told his buddy to Give it the gun and make it a good crash while they were at it. He was only acting on the advice of their captain who told them to do that in such a predicament so as to bring no suffering. Though not on the battle field, this was one of the many scenes that occurred at training camps in Texas in 1918, said Mr. Maconochie. Mr. Maconochie and his buddy had taken off for a observation flight. They were being pro- pelled swiftly along, when sud- denly their craft turned nose down into a dizzy spin. Hi8 buddy gave it the gun and to their surprise the ship came out of the spin and leveled off. It took a little time be- fore the full meaning of what had happened dawned upon them. Mr. Maconochie is in charge of the heat treat department. Bowling Standings Po8.

These medals, one inch high with a special monogram In the center, were presented by W. J. Ballard, head of the Highland Park recreation department, to the fifteen players composing the team. The team, coached by V. F. Richards, finished the season with nine victories and two de- feats . In the two game knockout series, the Craftsmen defeated the Subjagator team, 22-4, and won from the Hawks on a forfeit to assure the team of a champi- onship. In the Subjagator game, the Craftsmen collected eight runs in the first inning, Jumping in- to an early lead which the oppo- sition never overcame. Fred Butler, who relieved Harold Hoffman in the second inning, held the opponents to one run in the remaining innings. Leading hitters for the sea- son were H. Hoffman, pitcher, and V.

Dr. Fryklund's Speech and technical training. To fill this need then, private schools stepped in and showed the way. Through these centuries occupational choice has been a problem Just as it is today. Am I fitted by nature for my voca- tion? In all consideration of oc- cupational choice there is a great human factor involved. Psychologists tell us that there are many things at which we can work and be successful, if one is normal—having a good body and an average degree of intelli- gence. To be successful one must have right ideals and atti- tudes; a will to go on. For this the real training starts in the home. There are good feelings attached to success Just as to all good things. We all do things that have a suggestion of good feelings attached. We a- void the unpleasant things, and failure is unpleasant. There- fore, the right ideals and atti- tudes carry us on in our efforts to success and gain pleasant feelings. Feeling makes us do as we do. Success is reached by those having the right ideas and atti- tudes and a willingness to pay the price in hard work. All this requires effort. We learn by repetition and hard work. Trade training is good for the soul, and good for economic reasons. Feelings and good ide- als and attitudes to succeed combine to drive us on. 'Tello,' Only Seeing Eye Dog in City I feel safe and completely out of danger whenever I am with Tello, said Ellsworth G. Snith, insurance man and lawyer, in his home when discussing his Seeing Tello Eye dog. Mr. Snith has been sightless since the age of 15. Tello is the first Seeing Eye dog to take up a permanent residence in Detroit. It is Tello'8 duty to keep Mr. Snith out of danger when crossing streets or in heavy traffic. To accomplish this Mr. Snith was trained with Tello at the Seeing Eye headquarters in Morristown, N. J., which takes about a month. Upon reaching street cross- ings, Tello guides his master to the edge of the curb and stops. Mr. Snith finds the edge immedi- ately with his foot and then commands Tello to go. Tello obeys orders and directs his master when told to turn left, right, or go forward. By means of a handle fastened to Tello's harness, he guides Mr. Snith around pedestrians, side- walk obstructions, automobiles, or anything which may interfere with his safe progress. If the dog is in the middle of the street and sees an approaching car he will stop until the car passes and then proceeds cross- ing.

Robert Forton, '21, is a production engineer at the Pack- ard Motor Co. Charles Paganini, '30, is employed by the Artisan Guild.

John Woods, '34, is a guard for the Wells Fargo Armored Car Co.__________________________ Seeing Eye dogs in the tJnited States, very few being born in other countries, although Tello, a police dog, was born in Ger- many. These dogs when l£ years old are trained by qualified in- structors. It takes three months to educate the dogs, first teaching them obedience, then the principles of guiding, and, finally, studying disobedi- ence, for a dog must disobey any command which might lead its master into danger. In case that anyone should happen to see a Seeing Eye dog with his master, it is important to know that the dog is capable of taking care of himself and his master. The dogs sole inter est in life •is his master and the affection or assistance free others will disturb the harmony between them. If an introduction is being made with Mr. Snith, Tello will not be satisfied until he too is introduced. This is done by merely applying one's hand upon Mr. faith's, then he will gradu- ally withdraw his hand, leaving the strangers to rest on Tello's head. In this way friendship has taken place, for he knows that a friend of Mr. Snith is a friend of his. The cost for training each dog is nearly $1,000, but very few students pay the entire sum. A maximum obligation of $150 as the share of the expense of each student is assumed, payable when and as he is able to do so. The Seeing Eye Organization was founded in 1929 by Mrs. Harrison Eustis. ®he (Eraflamatt _PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS OF HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL NOVEMBER 19, 1937 VOL. 5, NO. 4 Federal Men Visit School Representatives from the two United States Industrial Re- formatories visited Henry Ford Trade School last week. The eastern reformatory is in Chillicothe, Ohio; western, in Elreno, Oklahoma. Overcrowding, lack of clas- sification, and idleness, accord- ing to these men, are the detri- mental influences in reformato- ries. To help combat against idleness and to give inmates a training in the skills, Federal Authorities have introduced in- dustrial training. These visitors said they are endeavoring to have their inmates do what boys do in our school--make nothing that can not be used. They use the Elec- trical, Shop Theory, Auto Me- chanics, and Mechanical Drawing books that are published in Henry Ford Trade School. The inmates of these in- stitutions were sentenced for Federal misdemeanors. All are first offenders. Mueller Talks in Toledo William Mueller, Apprentice School instructor, talked before a group of high school and col- lege instructors of Northwestern Ohio at their recent teacher's session in Toledo. Mr. Mueller spoke to the theme How Practical Work of Ap- plied Mathematics Relates to In- dustry. He said Ohio schools are progressing toward appren- tice school training. School Gives to Fund The instructors of Henry Ford Trade School are almost as pure as Ivory Soap. Proof: Ivory soap is advertised to be 99.44$ pure and the number of instructors that contributed to the Detroit Community Fund equals 99.27$. In the recent drive stu- dents and Instructors opened their pockets to the appeal ’’Give Generously and contrib- uted $446.22, which is $171.70 more than last year. Four Get All-A Cards On the first report card marking, 164 boys qualified for the honor roll. Four of these received all A’s. They are Stanley Kaczmarek, W-B-l; Edward Piotrowski, M-A-l; Fred Mitchell, M-A-l; and William Innes, T-A-l. The cards were autographed by Supt. F. E. Searle and G. A. Yerex, person- nel director. Lost: One Beagle Dog Found: The Beagle Dog After successfully stalking pheasants, rabbits, and other small game, Fred Schiller, ap- prentice instructor, and his two companions had an anxious week. Their beagle hound, owned by a farmer, and valued at $50, pursued a rabbit into a near by wood and disappeared. After much fruitless calling, whis- tling, and shooting the worried hunters returned to the farm- house. The farmer said he would search for the dog the next day. However, this only partly re- assured the worried Nimrods. When they returned to the farm the next Saturday they learned that the farmer’s son had found the dog. He was in company of same Detroit hunters who had taken him to Detroit overnight, and returned to the same vicinity to see if anyone would be searching for the dog. Special Services to be Held Members of Morning Services received a hearty welcome at the Berkley Community Church, where they took charge of the Evening Services, Oct. 31. The group has now been in- vited to take charge of the Eve- ning Services of the Rev. Harold W. May’s Church, Sunday, Novem- ber 21, in Wayne, Michigan. The Rev. D. Martin, who will have charge of the Thanks- giving Services, is planning to bring in, as a guest speaker, a noted Evangelist. The services will be held at 7 a. m., Wednes- day, November 24, in the audito- rium. Musicale Planned for Ford Rotunda In the little theater of the Ford Rotunda, students of Henry Ford Trade School will pre- sent their second musicale even- ing, Wednesday, Dec. 22, at 7:30 p. m. The first musicale was held in the auditorium of the Lawrence Institute of Technology last June. This program will be spon- sored by F. S. Nicholson, direc- tor of the glee club and stu- dents quartet, and Keith Glass- ley, orchestra 'director. The program will feature yuletide carols and music. Tickets for the occasion will be distributed among stu- dents, parents, instructors, and friends without charge. The plan for distribution will be announced later. Orchestra practice is held every Monday evening at 7;30 at Robert Oakman School. The glee club and students quartet prac- tice from 3 to 4 p. m. each day during class week. Smith Loses Election Floyd M. Staith, instructor in machine construction depart- ment, was nosed out by 75 votes in the recent election at Claw- son Village for village presi- dent. Clawson, a village of over four thousand inhabitants, many of whom are employees of Ford Motor Co., is located ap- proximately three miles north of Royal Oak. Mr. Stallth received 285 votes out of 645 cast. Nesbit Thanks All Sympathetically, students and instructors of the school shop contributed $35 recently to purchase flowers for the mother of John Nesbit, senior, and to help defray expenses following the recent death of his father. Mr. Nesbit was killed in an automobile accident. Mrs. Nesbit was injured seriously.

Surrounded hy all kinds of conveniences, they some- times forget that these benefits did not pop into existence. Seldom do they stop to realize that their ancestors had to slave, to fight criticism and failure, to make better present living conditions. The pioneer Inventors were men whose character and stamina were strong and resolved. Fail- ure, they did not fear. Trials and hardships were overcome be- fore an education was obtained.

Are we go- ing to push aside the opportuni- ties because of a few obstacles that may stand in our way? Editor's Mail Dear Editor: Many seniors do not know their shop grades. Can it be arranged to give the seniors shop report cards? Report cards will be given to seniors in the future. Sewer Under Construction Exp1osion-proof lights—a safety measure--are used in the sewer under construction in front of the B-building. Ordinary light bulbs are made explosion-proof by surround- ing them with Pyrex glass. Con- nections between the bulb and the cable are airtight and wa- terproof. Inside the cable are three wires, one for ground and two for current. This removes all possibilities of fires, ex- plosions, and shocks caused by short circuits. The sewer is six feet in diameter, having a 16-inch wall and approximately one quarter of a mile in length. The canal slip is its outlet. Because the main is constructed between two gas lines carrying a pressure of 16 pounds a square inch, a strong structure is necessary to prevent the settling of the ground near these lines, which would otherwise allow the lines to sag and cause leaks. There- fore, the 3 rings of vitrified brick lining are encircled every 16 inches by a 5-inch I-beam. Heavy steel plates, the same as those used in railroad tunnel construction, are placed between the I-beams. This main is constructed to receive drain water from roofs and roads, which would otherwise find its way into screens and filters in the Mill Water Plant, and also to increase the outlet of waste water to 200,000 gal- lons a minute. aGaunExsffi swnH0D This week18 waa born in a sod house at Me Crook Nebraska in 1891 At Missouri High, where he was graduated in 1905, he ex- celled in base- ball, basketball and football. at- tending t h State Teachers College he was also a three-let- ter man.

THE CRAFTSMAN I Boring at its Best When a Job requiring ac- curate boring comes into the school shop from the gage or toolroom department of Ford Motor Co., it is sent to the Trade School toolroom mill de- partment. Here the Job is as- signed to Charles White, shift 2, or Kenneth Stevens, shift 3 The above picture was taken a few weeks ago while Gilbert Penner was operating the Sip boring machine. He is now an apprentice In N-711-E die room. These seniors operate the most accurate boring machine in Henry Ford Trade School, the Sip. Ford Motor Co. has thirteen Sip machines. To get the highest degree of accuracy these boys first drill the Job within .030 or .015 of size, then it is bored to .0005. In order that the ac- curacy of the Sip boring ma- chine may be even greater than that of Its carefully made lead screws, each screw is fitted with an automatic correcting de- vice. This device is checked every two years by a man from the Sip Co., who has tools that are checked each year by the Na- tional Bureau of Standards. The Sip, a native of Switz- erland, is used for boring holes in gages, tools, and dies that must be accurately spaced. Its bed is rigidly fixed for accura- cy. This machine has two inde- pendent 8pindies that are six inches apart. The main spindle for larger work has nine working speeds arranged in geometrical progression from 45 to 400 r.p.m The small or high speed spindle has nine speeds ranging from 212 to 1870. _____________________PAGE THREE Garbage is Salvaged Wa3te Is not waste. Some- times it is soap, oil, coke, etc. Ford Motor Co. salvages all of Dearborn's table scraps. The garbage disposal de- partment was established six years ago to carry out industri- al experiments. Garbage from the whole of Dearborn is gathered each day and made into things of practi- cal use. In addition four loads a day come from Detroit. This garbage is all refuse that comes from the kitchen. The garbage is stoked into large cookers and heated from seven to twelve hours. Twenty- five pounds pressure are put on each of the four cookers. By fermentation of garbage, butyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, acetone, and cracklings may be obtained. Dehydrated garbage is pressed to remove grease, from which oleic acid, sodium soap, soluble oil, tar, tar oil, soft soap, drawing compound, and spray booth wash may be produced, while benzol, ammonium sulfate, and coke are obtained from pressed cracklings. Twenty-four paddles, mounted on a cylindrical shaft, are in each cooker. These pad- dles stir the garbage while it is dehydrated. After this proc- ess the cracklings are dumped into a revolving screen which removes the cans and rags. The cans are utilized as scrap metal The cracklings are pressed into cakes and taken to coke ovens for dry distillation. Arthur Adams, '24, is a patent draftsman in General Mo- tors Corporation. Thomas Ashley, '30, is an accountant at the Revere Copper and Brass Co., Detroit. Edward Bania, '31, is a foreman of a tool shop in Hughes Metal Specialties Co., Detroit.

PAGE FOUR Edels Eat Coveted Bird For the past 18 years A. N. Edel, president of the instruc- tors howling league, has been an average bowler. However, last Tuesday, November 16, Mr. Edel Incensed with the thought of a lusc1ous turkey dinner, rose to heights previously unknown to him, to defeat the cream of Henry Ford Trade School bowlers and literally bring heme the bac on (turkey). The turkey, donated by Coffin Nunneley, went to the bowler, bowling the highest num- ber of pins abo7e his average. Mr. Edel emerged from the flying feathers with a score of 602 pins, which boosted his 159.5 average to 164, an increase of 4.5 pins. Although more than 80 in- structors have invited them- selves to help him eat his prize, he Insists it is a treat solely for the Edel family.

The opening game with the alumni may not be such a push- over for the varsity, as they ap- pear to have the strongest team ever to represent their associa- tion, having with them two stars from last years Craftsman, Frank Mugerdich lan and Pete Qu inn. Hornets Down Cardinals By defeating the W-F-l Car- dinals, the W-E-l Hornets are now the W-section champions in the Intramural Beeball League. Previous to the champion- ship game the Hornets handed the Cardinals their first defeat of the season when they won in the closing minutes of play. The Cardinals were leading by the slim margin of a safety when Bob Nantais of the Hornets faded back and threw a long pass to Henry Staub in the end zone, putting the Hornets in the lead 30-26. The game ended a minute later with no further scoring. On Nov. 12 the same teams met at Miller School to play for the W-section championship. Scoring 18 of the 30 points, Bob Nantais acted as spark plug as the Hornets severely drubbed the Cardinals to emerge the W- section championship. The final score was 30 to 18. ________FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 19 Craftsmen Engage High School Team For the fir3t time in tl history of Henry Ford Tra School, the basketball team wi play a complete high scho schedule, opening with Redfo.

Get Musicale Tickets Free tickets for the Henry Ford Trade School musicale in the little theater of the Ford Rotunda will be ready for dis- tribution December 20 in Roam 39. As there is a limited num- ber of tickets all students and instructors are urged to get theirs early. Two thirds of the tickets will be held until 4 p. m. for shop boys and shop in- structors. Tickets are not given for reserved seats. The aim is to have only 400 persons, the capac- ity of the auditorium, attending. Don't ask for a ticket unless you are sure that you can attend. Displays Completed by Cutaway Dept. One hundred motors, sixty- five chassis, and other displays, requiring approximately 26,500 hour8 of work, reports Shop Supt. E. Y. Peterson, have Just been completed by the cutaway depart- ment of Henry Ford Trade School. These displays are sent to Ford branches, foreign and do- mestic, to Ford Rotunda, and to the permanent exhibit at 1710 Broadway, New York City. J. H. Wolfe Spends 20 Years in School J. H. Wolfe, Ford Appren- tice School director, has given 20 year8 service to the Ford Schools. Early in life he de- veloped the ambition to do my Job better than any one else can do it. This determination brought him face to face with J. H. Wolfe many problems. Perhaps his phi- losophy in life is summed up in the following poem written by Henry van Dyke. Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest or desk or loom, In roaring market place or tran- quil room, Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my blessing not my docm, Of all who live, I am the one by wham this Work can best be done in the right way. Lying on his stomach look- ing eagerly through a window in- to a basement machine shop, it dawned on Mr. Wolfe that he wanted to be a machinist. Al- though at that time he was ap- prenticed to a cabinet maker, he was successful in changing his apprenticeship to the Allis Chalmers Stationary Engine Works. All this occurred in Wisconsin. After serving his appren- ticeship and working in differ- ent machine shops at various SCHOOL___________DECEMBER 3, 1937 F C. A. Build Yachts as Woodcraft Projects In order to give the Future Craftsmen of America an opportu- nity to develop their own ideas in woodcraft, Robert Dale, draw- ing roam instructor, has re- ceived permission from Supt. F. E. Searle and Shop Supt. E. Y. Peterson to use wood pattern's benches and band saws, Mondays and Wednesdays, from 4 to 7 p.m. Each boy supplies his own wood, but tools are furnished by the school. Out of the 13 boys that are enrolled in this woodcraft pro- ject, 10 plan to build yachts. They are: Donald Frederick, Steve Ferega, Kenneth Fowler, Richard Cadieux, Walter Carlton, Mike Labick, Naaman Cochran, Arthur Bowering, Thomas Kirby, and James Lenck. James Konstantine plans to build a 15-foot motor boat. Gerald Lentz is interested in making wood articles for the home. Elton Howes plans to make a Christmas gift. J. J. Onderko, F.C.A. ad- viser, said that plans are being made to start projects other than wood work. Jobs, he came to Detroit, lured by the $5 a day then Just an- nounced by Ford Motor Co. At the employment office of Ford Motor Co., Mr. Wolfe was able to answer the questions of Max Fiedrich well enough to be given a Job in N-160 toolroom. From the time he became an apprentice, he studied mathemat- ics, most of this time was with a tutor. After much persuasion he began tutoring about twenty of his fellow workmen. To do this he made his attic into a classrocm. This attic teaching came to an end when he was given a Job in the Ford Apprentice School to teach mathematics. In 1923 Mr. Wolfe conceived the idea of writing a mathemat- ics text. For a time he and John Lott, who was then a mathe- matics instructor in the schoql, worked on the project. That same year the plans were aban- (Continued on Page 3) PAGE TWO THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY.

Vol. 3, 9o. 5 Fri., Dec. 3, 1937 Worthwhile Experiences May be Beneficial The local chapter of the Future Craftsmen of America has awakened from its lethargic con- dition. Boys, under close su- pervision, are now permitted to use certain shop equipment after school to develop their own ideas. Congratulations to those who have led in making this or- ganization active. Congratula- tions to shop officials who have made it possible for F.C.A. mem- bers to use equipment. From these experiences worthwhile hobbies may develop. These hobbies in turn may help develop unique skills. It is hoped that by the end of the school year, they will hold a first rate exhibit of all their work. Develop Hidden Qualities Has a f el lew student ever been given a promotion, a bene- fit, or a reward that you felt should have been yours? That fellow may possess some qualities, same hidden vir- tues you failed to observe. You may contain qualities, that, if properly developed, may be of value. Don't let the success of another overshadow your life. Be what you are. Find and de- velop your good qualities. Then you will not have to worry about your promotion. Most Commonly Used Coolant - Soluble Oil Soluble oil, commonly ca'led soda water, is a creamy, milk-like fluid used to reduce friction in general machine and lathe work. Approximately 12, 000,000 gallons are produced annually for the entire Rouge plant in the Special Oil Dept, on the fourth floor of the B- buildlng, north of the cafeteria. From this department, it is piped to the buildings where it is used. There it is stored in underground pits which are di- vided into two parts. Every week the oil is pumped from one side of the pit to the other and the previously occupied part is cleaned. From these pits it is pumped to the machines where it is used. Oil is Tested for Bacteria Every week the hygiene de- partment of Ford Motor Co. tests the oil for bacteria. If any disease producing germs are pres ent a disenfectant is added. The soluble oil is also tested to determine if the oil contents is up to standard. Soluble oil is numbered in three different ways, Nos. 1, 2, and 3. No. 1 is first made so it can be easily emulsified with water. It is composed of paraf- fine oil, oleic acid, and caus- tic soda. No. 2 is prepared by prop- erly mixing one part of soluble oil base No. 1 with one part of water. This coolant is seldom used except for heavy cutting. No. 3, known as soda water, and used throughout the entire plant, is pro- duced by mixing twenty- four parts of water with one part of soluble oil base No. 1. Approximately 1,000,000 gallons of sol- uble oil No. 3 is used monthly in the Rouge plant This department, in which there are three shifts working six days a week, is under the super- vision of D. R. Tolhurst. Besides the coolants, about fifty different prod ucts are made including soaps, compounds, special oils, etc. Plates Are Untouch Cleanliness is an import theme of Henry Ford Trade Sch The lunchroom maintains high degree of cleanline proven by the fact that plates from which we eat are touched by human hands unt they are taken out of the boxes and placed on the lui counter or tables. Plates t ordered in large quantities t tween twenty to forty thousar Each box contains about fi hundred plates. China plates are not u because the cost of replenishi and washing is more than cost of paper plates. Enter Guess Who Conte If you like to keep s thing to yourself, now is yo big chance.

There is a definite rule against wearing a mustache, but the question of marriage re- quires the use of common sense for a student’8 scholarship en- ables him to support only him- self. Is the Trade School going to enter a boxing team in the coming tournament? No, training facilities are limited therefore a boxing team can not be upheld. Why do Trade School boys have to wear their badges on the left shoulder? It is included in the rules of Henry Ford Trade School that the badges be worn on the left shoulder, because it saves the instructor and others much time in searching for the badge. Why doesn't the Trade School have a football or hockey team? Not having a football field or skating pond the Trade School can not aid in such venture. Twenty Years of Service doned until 1932 when J. W. Bus- man, former Apprentice School Instructor, pledged his support. Mr. Busman was not able to give much time because it interfered with his evening college work. Being persistent, Mr. Wolfe approached Dr. Everett Phelps of Wayne University in 1933. Dr. Phelps had been Mr. Wolfe's math tutor for several years. In 1935 the book was finally pub- lished, authors Wolfe and Phelps More than 9000 of these books have been sold. Mr. Wolfe's life is not all filled with figures. When the day has been toilsome and his nerves are worn to a frazzle, he goes hone and sits at his piano, playing his troubles away For six years he studied piano. Even today, at times, he wonders if his real calling is not to music. Supt. F. E. Searle's ready description of Mr. Wolfe is Wolfe is a pianist that get8 more out of mathemat- ics than music. School records show that the ages of the men on the instruc- tor's roll of Henry Ford Trade School range from the teens to three score and fourteen. The average age of all is 40.7 years They have been employed by the school an average of 7.5 years. Most of these men spent several years as employees of Ford Motor Co.; this average is 8.2 years. L. C. Scott, of electrical department, has spent 32 years in Ford Motor Co. and the Trade School, 9 year8 in the school. James McGrath, T-D-2, won the Wyandotte inter-city golden gloves pinweight boxing title last March. He placed third in the ice skating championship for Juvenile skaters in Wyandotte last winter. There are approximately 6300 books in the library. John Kammar, W-G-l, is an enthusiastic stamp collector. His four year collection exceeds 2500 stamps, representing ap- proximately 250 countries. Guy W. Armstrong, mathemat- ics instructor, was the subject of last week's Guess Who.

The Alumni won 23-21. In the last few minutes of play the score was tied at 21. After Frank Mugerdichian, Alumni star, missed a free shot, the game went into overtime. During the three minutes overtime period, Pete Quinn gave the Alumni their margin of vic- tory by sinking two free throws after being fouled by F. Sutton. The Craftsman team was unable to overcome this lead and walked off the floor, defeated, when the whistle blew. The boy 8 on both teams showed remarkable accuracy. Quinn and Mugerdichian sank hard shots from the court for the Alumni; difficult tosses for the Craftsman came from captain Robinson and Sutton. Quinn and Robinson were high scorer8 with nine points each. Included in the lineup for the Craftsman were Sutton, Robin- son, Whalen, Strach, Saracino, Gallinat, Moffet, and Bommarito. The Alumni were represented by Mugerdichian, Quinn, Reuter, Maderas, Horvath, Delaney, and Stewart. The game was refereed by Red Petovello and Eddie Gater- TTlAn . Quintets Enter Finals After the completion of the regular intramural basketball, seven of the ten teams had a percentage of .500 or better, which qualified them to compete in a two game knockout series for the Henry Ford Trade School championship. At the present time four of these teams are still in the fight. The four quintets are captained by Fred Sutton, Harold Bernarden, Maurice Baker, and Leonard Taylor. At Salina School, Sat., Dec. 4, at 7 p. m., the final game to determine the intramural cham- pions will be played as a pre- liminary to this year's second Craftsman-Alumni struggle. _________FRIDAY, DECEM3ER 5, 193 Radio Club Sends Wireless Messages Dot, dash, dot, S.O.S.

John Garth III, dramatic bari- tone, who studied at Har- ner Conservatory of Mus- ic, Kansas City, Missouri, and the Royal Academy of Music, London, England, rendered two solos, Shake Hands With a Mil- lionaire and Moonlight and Shadows. Branham, alumnus of Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tennessee, organized the Ford Dixie Eight fourteen years ago at the suggestion of Henry Ford. Three of the original members, James Yancy, E. F. Bolden, and F. M. Williams are 3till with them. The octet averaged one per- formance a day for the last five years, performing at theaters, parties, dances, funerals, and over major radio hookups. Action was furnished by William Burton and Leroy Pitt who thrilled the boys with their nimble dancing feet. All, except Mr. Branham who is Janitor in the main hospital, are employed in the laundry of Ford Motor Co. 34 Years Ago Aviation Began Mr. Ford Restores Workshop Thirty-four years ago to- day the first flight in an air- plane operating under its own power was successfully made.

It was not by word of mouth, but by His actions that He showed the v orld that to live is to love. As the natal day of this great Personality approaches, it is like a soothing balm to a mind poisoned with hate and greed. The evergreen tree is symbolic of a love that has been spread over the centuries. He could not hate. Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do. His love, the love He showed us, must be kept ever- green throughout the years by a preservation of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men. Because there is greed and hate in this world; because Christmas can and does degener- ate Into an empty routine of shopping and exchanging gifts, we must remember the ability of everyone to love. To see that ability is to see the real Savior. Be a Booster At the Craftsman-Mackenzie basketball game, few students attended. Why? The Craftsmen fought hard to overcome a lead to emerge victorious.

Identify the Eyes and Join Guess Who Contest m Watch the Fords Go 'By Not 'Buy' Emblazoned on signs, post- ers, windows, almost everywhere you see the phrase Watch The Fords Go By. Yet how many know how this slogan originated? One hot summer afternoon many years ago a baseball game was in progress between two De- troit industrial teams. The score was fairly even. The Ford team was at bat with all bases filled when a sudden downpour sent the spectators scurrying for cover. During the melee a Ford batsman smashed out a lusty triple unloading the bases. As the red stockinged Ford runners crossed the plate in a steady stream the umpire is said to have exclaimed, My! Watch the Fords go by! Someone picked up the catching phrase and applied it to the car. Although that was many years ago, the slogan is as contagious as ever. This year, the slogan in a special design by Cassandre, distinguished French artist, has been displayed on more than 11,000 billboards throughout the nation. An enterprising haulaway company has changed the ' slogan to read: Watch The Fords Go Buy. However clever this new idea may be, it is without the sanction of the advertising de- partment of Ford Motor Co. The new Guess W Contest has aroused ma of our readers.

The section went to school Monda the T-section Tuesday, and section Wednesday. Trs Why doesn't the School have fire drills? Due to the fact that a fJ in the school building is almc an impossibility because of t construction and the maintain' of a Fire Dept, on the fii floor of the B-building.

Allen can see more reasons than one for wearing shoes while canoeing. Last summer, while vacation- ing in New Baltimore, Mich., Allen and four companions vis- ited Selfridge field on bicycles. During their visit, one of the officers presented them with a homemade canoe. Anxious to try their newly acquired possession, two boys took the bikes home, while Allen and the other two took the short- er but more perilous Journey across the bay. Using planks as paddles, the three young adven- turers set out in their twelve- foot craft. Slowly they started across. When they had gone a mile and a half, the slight summer breeze gradually rose to a swift gale, and the rain began falling in torrents. Only by balling the water with their shoes did the boy3 manage to prevent the waves and rain from swamping the boat. To add to their misfortunes the wind blew them ruthlessly to- wards St. Clair flats, miles out of their course. But the gods finally smiled j I Trees Used as First Lathe Boys that run a lathe may little realize the importance attached to its origin. Without it the building of the automo- bile, steamboat, locomotive, electric motor, etc. would be an impossibility. The lathe is said to be the foundation of our modern machine age. Frcxn it came all the vari- ous machines of present-day in- dustry. Consequently it paved the way for ma83 production with maximum accuracy. The earliest type of lathe was the tree lathe. Wooden cen- ters, a practical distance apart, were driven through the middle of two trees. A rope was at- tached to the end of a conven- iently located limb hanging over- head from one of the trees. The rope was then wound around the piece of wood-stock to be turned, which was placed between the centers. The rope, with a loop at the end, hung almost to the ground. Two operators were required, one to manage the turning tools, and the other to revolve the work by placing his foot in the loop and working the rope up and down. The tension of the bent branch supplied the power for the return stroke. on the unfortunate trio. Back at the airport, the cook was aim- lessly scanning the bay with his binoculars. Seeing their predic- ament, he sounded an alarm, and a motor launch was sent to the rescue. After a thorough drying and a hot lunch, the boys were driv- en hone in an officers car, with their boat tied on the roof. Sandpaper Minus Sand is Known as Sandpaper Sandpaper does not contain sand. The term sandpaper is a name used for all types of coated abrasives, such as flint, garnet, aluminum oxide, and sil- icon carbide. Flint is quarried from flint quartz. There are many qualities of quartz found in this country, some harder and sharper than others. Some de- posites, due to their crystal- line structure, crush into more efficient grains than do others. When flint is used as the abras- ive, it is designated by a green stripe on the back of the sand- paper sheet. The best quality of garnet is mined in New York. Sharper and harder than flint, it cuts faster and cleaner. The color stripe is orange. Aluminum oxide, a product of the electric furnace, is the hardest, toughest, and sharpest abrasive in general use. Its color stripe is yellow. Silicon carbide or carborun- dum, which is nearly as hard and sharp as diamond, is made of silica sand, salt, sawdust, and coke. The color stripe is blue. None of these things, ex- cept in appearance, would be any- thing like sand. Bruno Chudy, 31, is work- ing in the toolroom at the Dodge Motor Co. E. J.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1937 Cubit to Rod, a Long Step Do you know how small one millionth of an inch is? In comparison a one millionth part of an inch is to an inch as one inch is to 15.78 miles. To hear this is startling, hut to go still further and learn that man is now able to measure this is even more so. The first known convention- al measurement was the cubit. It was equal to the length of the forearm, from the point of the elbow to the tip of the mid- dle finger. It was the cubit that enabled that six-hundred year young man, Noah, to build his ark. It seems that before the U3e of the cubit died, it gave birth to two sons or daughters, whichever they might be. They were the palm and the digit. The palm was the distance across the hand at the base of the fingers, usually equal to three inches. The digit was the breadth of the forefinger, ap- proximately equal to three-quar- ters of an inch. Although these measurements do not seem to con- cern us at present time, they played an important part in ear- ly developments of mankind. As time passed and the cu- bit and its children were ac- cepted by different countries it was revised again but somewhat differently. Two-thirds of it was taken and called a foot. The Greeks then divided this foot into twelve equal parts or unciae.” This division was then passed R. E. Bell, civics in- structor, will conduct three trips to visit Detroit Mu- nicipal Courts and Police Headquarters during Christ- mas vacation. A, B, C, D, and E class boys are ele- gible to attend. See Mr. Bell for particulars. on into Rome and England where the twelfths or unciae became inches. In Britain it became inter- spersed with the Anglo-Saxon measures which also contained the fathom. The fathom was the distance across two outspread arms. As the chief trade in this vicinity was cloth making it was found of more convenience Oid News Boys Need $ 125,000 The Goodfellows will start Dec. 21 to raise $125,000, which is the approximate amount they are in debt after purchasing 50, 000 pairs of shoes, 100,000 suits of underwear, 100,000 pairs of stockings, besides in- numerable books, toys, dolls, and games for the poor children of Detroit. They will sell papers from 11:30 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. Their slogan is: In all Detroit no child without a Christmas. Only two boy8 received all A's on the second report card. They are Edwin Ott, W-C-l, and Edward Piotrowski, M-A-l. Wright's Airplane Flight the 12-second flight. Men have been flying ever since. Their workshop is being re- stored in detail in Henry Ford's Greenfield Village, Dearborn. The Wright airplane when completed weighed 750 pounds in- cluding the weight of the pilot. It was propelled by a four cylin- der petrol motor of twelve horse- power and was piloted by Orville Wright. This machine is now ex- hibited at the Science Museum, South Kensington, London. Later the Wright brothers developed an airplane which es- tablished a new record on Sept. 12, 1908 by remaining in the air one hour and fifteen minutes. Numerous demonstrations made In Europe during 1908 and 1909 caused many honors to be be- stowed upon the brothers. Wilbur Wright died of ty- phoid fever at Dayton, Ohio, on May 30, 1912. Orville is still living in that city. to measure by cne outstretched arm or the equivalent of three feet. This measure was adopted and called the yard. The rod, which was origi- nally the distance of the left foot of sixteen men lined up heel to toe, has also undergone a great change. It was probably after the advent of the yard, foot, and inch that the rod gained its recognition and also the exactness which it now pos- sesses . Today exactness is being developed which was heretofore unprophesied. Well-Stocked First Aid Aids Student Welfare Four thousand yards of band- age, two hundred yards of tape, thousands of pills, and gallons of liquid medicine are the ap- proximate monthly supply of ma- terials used in Henry Ford Trade School first aid department, ac- cording to G. F. Wood, attendant. Every day an average of 250 boy8 are given preventive treat- ment. The majority of injuries are simple cases, either hand or finger cuts. Infections are pre- vented by emergency treatment. If a boy has a scratch or cut, drawing blood, he is sent to the first aid. Should a boy develop a ser- ious illness while at school,- he is sent to the main hospital on the second floor of the B-build- ing.

Another son, Vic- tor, W-D-2, has resumed training after a period of idleness. For a few years it was his am- bition to become a baseball player. Edwin and Edgar were graduated from Henry Ford Trade School in ’34 and '35 respectively. They are now employed in the toolrooms of Ford Motor Co. Since the early age of 6 the boys have been trained by their father. It was Mr. Waling's ambi- tLon to have his boys be- came athletes. Today he has proved what his boys can do. Their first gym- nasium was the dining room of their present home. Al- though they have been punch- ing there for four years the four walls still remain. After the boys grew larger, the Highland Park Athletic Asso- ciation gym was used for the next five years, followed by one year at the Holy Redeemer. At present they train nightly at the Chevrolet gymnasium, Lawton and Hancock avenues. At the gym an automatic clock provides a three minute and a one minute signal. Three minutes for practice and one for rest. The procedure of the training routine is as follows: first, as boys enter the floor they shadow box to loosen the muscles in the body; box for three minutes in the ring; re- sume shadow boxing; workout on punching bags for two rounds; skip rope for one round; fol- lowed by a general rubbing of the body to prevent stiffening of muscles. After this training, which takes 1 hours, the boys are well tired and are ready for a good nights rest. When one of his son's has a bout, Mr. Waling sits in the coaches corner. He has coached every fight in which his sons have participated. Before the gong he shakes hands with his eon, wishing him luck. When in the ring the boys obey any com- mand given by their father, sel- dom they disobey him. Mr. Waling does not believe in diets; he permits the boys to eat whenever they are hungry. During Edwin's amateur ca- reer he had the distinction of being the first white boy in De- troit to win the national title, which he won In 1934. On that same night Joe Louis won the am- ateur heavyweight title. Edwin is now a professional, classed in the featherweight division. His record reveals that he was also the first white boy to win three Golden Gloves titles in succession, but his brother, Edgar, has gone one step farther by winning four Golden Gloves titles in succession. Both boys won state amateur titles, and they are also the only two broth- ers to win national titles in the United States. Tom is gaining some of the titles won by his brothers. Last week he captured the state ama- teur title. He is the sole suc- cessor to this title since it was seized by Edgar. Edgar, featherwelght, and Tom, flyweight, will enter the coming Diamond Belt and Golden Gloves Tournaments. It is Ed- gar's ambition to win a Diamond Belt title before turning profes- sional. The Waling boys fight for the glory of the sport. By win- ning various championship titles they possess a proud assortment of trophies, medals, pins, but- tons, plaques, etc. Varsity Beats Mackenzie in High School Opener The Craftsman basketball team won its opening high school game of the season on Dec. 9, against Mackenzie High at Tappan Intermediate School. The score wa3 33-24. Using their height to good advantage, Mackenzie enjoyed an 8-3 lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Craftsman began clicking and held a slim, one point lead at the half. In the closing minutes of the game, the Craftsman shots were finding the hoop with ra- pidity. Robinson, Craftsman cap- tain, led both teams with 12 counters. McCord led Mackenzie with eight points. Sutton, Moffat, Gallinat, Strach, Whalen, Ray, and Hoffman also saw service for the Trade School. Reserves Also Score The Craftsman reserves chalked up an 18-7 victory over the Mackenzie reserves. Bernardin, Craftsman for- ward, led the scoring of both teams by sinking five counters. Other members of the blue and gold reserve teem who broke into the scoring column were Block, Bomraarito, McSeveny, Saracinp, and Walker. Mrs. Waling does not encour- age nor does she like to see the boys fight. In fact, she has. witnessed only one bout since the boys stented boxing. It took much persuasion to get her to do this. % L I believe every boy shoujd have a hobby or sport or some sort of recreation in’which to spend his leisure time, giving them less time tb roam the streets, said Mr. Waling, one time pugilist who won many cups and titles. .JMr. Waling is em- ployed by Ford Motor Co. in the toolstockr B-building. When questioned as to his opinion of the Trade School, Mr. Waling promptly replied, Tt is .the best place fbi any boy to be, because boys get a wider train- ing th n in public schools. The Bchool also teaches them to be thrifty. PAGE SIX W-A Capture Championship W-A class, captained ’by- Maurice Baker, won the senior in- tramural basketball championship when they defeated T-A class on Dec. 10. The score was 25-16. W-A and T-A seemed evenly matched until this final game, as each ad lost one game in the regular schedule and one game in the playoffs. With Moffat and Gal linat scoring ten and eleven points, respectively, W-section held a lead throughout the game. De Paulis was high for the losers, with three field goals. Other members of the win- ning team are Hall, McSeveny, Roberts, and Hennessey. As Baker graduates in Janu- ary, this closes his career as a captain of intramural teams. He has captained every team that his class entered in intramural sports, three basketball and three baseball. During 1935-36, his team won the first intramural basket- ball championship and also first honors in baseball for 1936. Hornets Take Title Contest by 30-18 Score The fighting Hornet team fought from behind to cop the Henry Ford Trade School Beeball championship for the W-section on Fri., Nov. 26.

Thomas Harrington, M-F-l, scored twelve points and Gordon Titsworth, M-D-l, rang up ten counters when their teams met. F-l was victorious, 16-14.

Most of them enjoyed working with the older hoys who didn't receive vacations and with the shop instructors. Let us see what the class men had to comment about the week's work. R. E. Bell: Although I don't enjoy working in the shop, I think it's a good idea. It gives the class instructors knowledge of shop work. B. A. Kazyak: The change was as good as a rest. Carl Boehnke: I had not worked on a shaper for approxi- mately 12 year8, but the devel- opment in the % construction of the shaper was interesting. Robert Dale: I enjoyed the change and also learned some- thing about tin8mithing. C. R. Weems: I think the association with the shop in- structors and the boys was very beneficial. J.

Members Plan Exhibit Seven boys, members of Henry Ford Trade School chapter of the Future Craftsman of Amer- ica, along with J. J. Onderko and Robert Dale, instructors, attended a meeting at Cass Tech- nical High School, Saturday, Jan. 0 and discussed, with other mem- bers of the F.C.A. chapters, plans for an exhibit at the De- troit and Michigan Exposition, which will be held at the Con- vention Hall from Jan. 21 to 30. Members of the various chapters enumerated what they had to offer in the way of ex- hibits. The selections to be exhibited will be decided by the presidents of their chapters. Tickets for the exposition, costing 30 cents each, are avail- able at the bookstore, Craftsman office, and the library. A nnounce ments Any persons who are inter- ested in home movies and who have 16 mm motion picture films may have them listed at the library for exchange purposes.

Senior Returns to School After Vacation in Mexico Weekly bull fights, sports of all sort8, women walking barefoot and nursing their ba- bies in public are some of the conditions that still prevail in Mexico, related Harry Smith, senior, who recently returned from a six months' vacation in Mexico City. After graduating from class work last June, Harry obtained a three months' leave of absence to visit his parents. Upon ar- riving there, he enrolled in the American High School, the only school of its kind in Mexico that teaches American subjects. When his period expired, he wrote to Henry Ford Trade School requesting to extend his leave of absence for another three month8. Credit Given for School Work Public schools in Mexico do not close for vacation during the summer months, instead the pupils attend school and are let out In November for a three months' period. The subjects taken by Harry are accepted in Detroit as part of his high school credit. Although a day's wages in Mexico averages about five pesos or in United States Ex- change, approximately $1.40, the cost of living is almost as high as in America (if living as the average American is accustomed to live). Sports Including, football, baseball, soccer, etc., as well as American and foreign motion pictures, are extremely popular in Mexico. JANUARY 14, 1938 Students Visit Courts-, Judges Discuss Crime To get practical informa- tion concerning court proceed- ings, 70 Henry Ford Trade School students, under the guidance of R. E. Bell, civics instructor, visited Recorders Court, Police Headquarters, County Jail, Fed- eral Building, and Wayne County Morgue during three days of the Christmas vacation. The boys were divided into three groups, one day for each group. Mr. Bell was aided by the following instructors: Keith Glassley, first trip; 0. R. Scott and B. A. Kazyak, second trip; and E. H. Stoelting, on the final trip. In Recorders Court two Judges, John V. Brennan and G. B. Murphy, gave interesting talks on the prevention of crime, Judge Brennan believes that the type of training received by the Trade School boys, enables them t o assume responsibilities, therefore keeping their minds free from crime. With that type of training, he said, I feel sure that the men you saw in court today would never have gotten into trouble. Home life, education, good companionship and conduct are excellent preventions of crime, was the highlight of Judge Murphy's talk. Miss Helen Flynn, examiner (Continued on Page 3) 15 Boys Start Class in Typing Heeding the many requests for a typing class ip Henry Ford Trade School', C. R. Weems, Eng- lish instructor, has organized a class of 15 boys from the C, D, and F classes. The class meets five days a week, from 3 to 4 p. m. for classroom students and from 4 to 5 p. m. for shop boys. These boys are in training to answer the many requests for typists. Eleven typewriters are available. They are borrowed from various instructors. The boys are using the Walton-McLean typing manuals, each boy having purchased his own copy.

These contributions prove not only the willingness of the students and instructors to give but also their understanding of the predicament of children who, without a gift from the Goodfel- low Fund, would not have known a Christmas. If you have been in circum- stances similar to those which many children are in today, you, no doubt, can understand how grateful many needy families are to Henry Ford Trade School. The fact remains, an oppor- tunity to do good was given, and a generous contribution was made. School Makes New Contacts In the recent yuletide mu- sicale program, our school made a new contact with parents and friends. Although our school lacks the proper facilities for such occasions, permission for the use of the Ford Rotunda thea- ter was granted, for which Henry Ford Trade School is grateful. The students who partici- pated in this event gained expe- rience- -they can do something worthwhile in the field of enter- taining. When this opportunity was open to them, the boys took Identify the Eyes and Join Guess Who Contest advantage. They were eager to do their part--a fine school spirit. To prove their eager- ness, they devoted much of their own time. The program was worthwhile and entertaining. It created a feeling that radio programs and professional entertainers are not the only ones that can pro- vide good entertainment. It is hoped that more pro- grams will be presented, provid- ing a friendly contact between students, instructors, parents, and friends.

C. Brewen that the Christmas edition of The Craftsman be sold to provide a contribution to the Detroit Goodfellow Fund, the T- section Craftsman staff col- lected contributions amounting to $50 in less than two hours. Although the suggestion was received only thirty minutes be- fore class dismissal, the classes responded generously. Two large posters, made hur- riedly by Frank Sullivan and James Konstantine, T-section staff members, and posted near the shop time clocks, aided in announcing the sale of the paper to the shop students. Due to the late arrival of the cashier's check and letter at the Goodfellow headquarters, no mention of Henry Ford Trade School appeared in Detroit news- papers. However, Supt. F. E. Searle received a letter of thanks from the Goodfellow chair- man. The letter is posted on the bulletin board.

Many times, stated Mr. Chayke, the remaining pin would rock heavily from the impact of the others, but each time held its upright position, spoiling a 300 game, which is the ambition of every bowler. In 1930 Mr. Chayke, bowling for the state championship, rolled 693 for 3 games to cap- ture seventh place. 5 PORT FLASHF8 In the Diamond Belt tourna- ment, Ted Perva, senior, won his first bout with a sensational 15 second knockout. However, he lost his second fight on a close decision. Both bouts took place January 9. Thomas Harrington set a mark for the high scorers of the Junior Basketball League to shoot at when he dropped 19 points into the hoop on Wednes- day January 5. Intercepting a pass and arching a long shot, Roy McLeod, M-E-3, watched the ball drop through the net. Was his face red when he found out he had shot at the wrong basket! Francis DeGrande, M-E-l, is one of the best ball handlers in the Junior League. He is adept at dribbling and his passes sel- dom miss their mark. There are sixteen teams in the Junior Intramural Basketball League. They are captained by: Joe Yecchioni, James Lenk, Keith Miller, Silvio Valentini, Gordon Titsworth, George Beaver, Robert White, Vincent Denar o, Robert Brymer, Owen Meade, Albert Andrews, Emil Broda, Fred Reitz, John Hutton, Bud Cushing, and John Myles. A Midget Craftsman team, coached by L. Bartholomew, lost to the Dearborn High B team on Jan. 12, by the score of 20-17. George Beaver was the high scorer for the Midgets. He scored seven points. Cushing, Harrington, Ventro, R. Washer, B. Washer, Marlye, and Reitz saw service. Who's Who in the Varsity One of the best basketball handlers on any high school court today is Hilton Robinson, captain of the Craftsman quin- tet. In 1934 he captained an in- tramural basket- ball team that finished second in the M-section division. Last year he led his team to the M- section and school champ ion - Robinson ships. In the first six games this season he has scored 62 points. Ed Strach is a handy man, playing center or guard with equal skill. Tipping in the I rebounds off the backboard is his | speciality. Last year I he played on the basketball team that finished as I runner-up for ; the school cham- | pionship. On the base ball field, he plays first base Strach or shortstop, batting in the clean-up position. Although he scores few points, Robert Whalen is a val- uable guard. He is five feet, nine inches tall and weighs 160 lbs. This is his first year on the varsity. Whalen played either second or third base for the Lobo's, T-sec- tion baseball champions i n He batted .350 Whalen 1936 and 1937. for the two seasons.

After the boys had toured the various departments of The News plant proper, Stoddard White, school editor of The News, at the request of E. H.

Then I Can Little Johnny's teacher had asked him to write a fable, aft- er the style of Aesop's familiar yarns. The boy sat at his desk and chewed his pencil and cudg- eled his budding wits in the ef- fort to think up a really good plot, but in vain. Nevertheless, knowing that he had to turn in a story of some kind, he grimly set himself to the task. This is what he wrote: Once upon a time a mud tur- tle was sunning himself on a log in a swamp. Suddenly he saw an alligator stick his head up out of the water right beside him. The mud turtle slid off the log and paddled like sixty for the shore, with the alligator right behind him, with his big mouth wide open. The turtle climbed up on the bank and ran as fast as he could, but the alligator was gaining on him. In a few more steps he would catch him. Just then the turtle came to a tree, and he climbed right up that tree, so the alligator didn't catch him after all, be- cause alligators can't climb trees. After the teacher had read it over, she said: Johnny, this is a very exciting tale, but it isn't true to nature. You sure- ly know that a mud turtle cannot climb a tree! Johnny replied: This one could. Heck, he had toI If we were called upon to append a moral to the foregoing, Identify the Eyes and Join Guess Who Contes This contest is pro ing many old proverb such as, The eye th sees all things el sees not itself, and wager is a fool’s arg ment.

I must, say every great man and woman face to face with duty, crisis, opportunity. Daily every one of us faces tasks that we didn't expect and would rather not do. But Just the minute I must comes along, our program clears up and our work proceeds plainly and ac- cording to plan. I must!

A mis- placed comma recently gave every railroad conductor in Michigan a new suit of clothes. Following is the Michigan law as it ap- peared since 1879: Every rail- road corporation shall provide a uniform, hat or cap and a dis- tinguishing badge, etc. The misplaced comma is between uni- form and hat.

Say it With Ease Copy of an article in Decemb 1922 issue of the Co-op Engine by permission of Deem Schneide Not long since I went with man who had a speech to mak He told me in a very clear w of the thing on which he was talk. I got the whole plan his work frcm start to end and felt that he would make a go speech.

Concluding their program, the boys visited the WWJ etudio auditorium to witness the noon March of Youth broadcast, featuring Northeastern High School in a musical program. Say it With Ease can talk to one man, and when you talk this way you do not search for a high and strange way to tell a plain tale. You tell it, from the start to the end in plain words, and when you are done, it is all told with no halts or Jerks or set phrase. You can say it to two men, or three men or four men in the same way, but if I ask you to tell it to a group, at once you have the stiff form. Now, all a man needs, who wants to talk about a thing to a group of any size, is to know that the group would like to hear what he has to say Just as if he were to talk to any one of them. He must know, too, that stage fright is a thing which is made in one's own mind. If one can hold to these two plain truths, he can make a speech with as much ease as he can talk to one man. Of course, it will not be a great speech from the point of view of one who has skill in the art; but his speech will tell in plain terms what he has to say. A plain talk on a thing one knows, told as one would tell it to a man on the curb, is a good speech. It is the best kind of speech, and it is not hard to make. You can get by the stage fright if you will Just say in your own mind that your talk will be plain and clear, that it will start where it should start and end where it should end, and that it will have no more words than you would use to your best friend and no big words that you would not use to him. That is all there is to a speech. Bear this in mind and when you get a chance, try it, and see if I am not right. Editor's Note--The reader will observe that Dean Schneider's whole statement is made up of words of one syllable. New Automatic Machine Takes Place of 6 Mills A new automatic milling ma- chine, which is used to straddle mill conveyor chain pins, has been installed in the third floor mill department. This machine is equipped with a large drum having three sepa- rate discs, which hold 112 pins. Each end is set up for a differ- ent size conveyor pin. This ma- chine has been equipped with an automatic safety device which shuts off the machine as soon as a pin fails to free itself from the disc. This device was rec- ommended by the Trade School and designed by the electrical de- partment of Ford Motor Co. After this machine has been set up, the operator has only to insert the pins into the revolv- ing disc, which feeds them into the straddle mill cutters and then releases them into a con- tainer at the rear of the ma- chine. This machine can mill 6,000 pins in eight hours. Previously, six machines were required to produce the same number of pins. Will it be Spring or Winter? Ground hog day is so-called in the United States because of the fanciful supposition that the ground hog or woodchuck, on Feb- ruary 2, emerges from its winter sleep to observe the approach of spring. If he sees his shadow he retires to his burrow for six more weeks of winter, but, if the day is cloudy he remains above ground confident of mild weather. The Scottish variation of ground hog day is!

'Pete,1 Tool-Crib Attendant, Missed Ill-Fated Titanic Peter Dunn, better known as Pete, the man in charge of the badge and tool clearance roan in crib 33, finally confessed. He's an IrishmanI Born and reared in the Emerald Isle, he decided his fortune lay in America, the land of opportu- nity. His mother thought It best Pete come to America in company of a young lady, who had been to America and was a life- long friend of the family. Pete had planned to sail on the maid- en voyage of the Titanic, ill- fated queen of the seas. T e young lady knew the cap- tain would attempt to set a new speed record and thought the nec- essarily rough going would make her seasick. So they booked pas- sage on the Olympic, an earlier boat. They arrived in Queens- town, Ireland on an early train and were able to sail. Other people with reservations arriv- ing on a later train were made to wait for the Titanic, which three days later struck an ice- berg and sank with great loss of life. Upon arriving in New York, Pete parted company with the young lady and hasn't seen her since. Enlists in World War After Pete had been a street- car conductor for several yecu's, the United States became em- broiled in the World War. Pete's fighting Irish spirit flamed, and he enlisted to help save the world for Democracy. Private Dunn embarked on a transport which was strangely familiar to him. It was the re- novated Olympic, upon which he had come to America several years before. He served in the 330th Field Artillery, which at one time was encamped in the barracks of one of the greatest soldiers of all times, Napoleon Bonaparte.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 19$ Clearing House is Center of All Shop Work Henry Ford Trade School clear- ing house can be compared to the heart of a human body; as the heart controls the flow of blood to the body, the clearing house controls the flow of work to the various shop departments. It Is one of the most Important depart- ments In the school. Here seven men and eleven boys keep an ac- curate record of and distribute all work done in the school shop. The clearing house receives and distributes 4,000 pounds of steel, and records the detailed distribution of 8,000 hours of labor daily. Every day the time taken on each operation is accurately re- corded on the time copy of the work order. The exact location of each Job, as it progresses through the various departments of the shop, is recorded on the route copy of the work order. When a work order cones to the school, it is accompanied by a blueprint of the article to be made. The work order is then checked by the shop superintend- ent. If accepted, it is sent to the layout and estimating depart- ment where it is estimated and routed according to the opera- tion, as requested by layout on the copy of the work order. From the layout department the order goes to the Ford Motor Co. work order department to be ap- proved. Then it is duplicated and twelve copies are returned with the blueprint to the Trade School clearing house. There the stock is ordered frcm the Ford Motor Co. on a regular stock requisition blank. When the stock is delivered to the clearinghouse it is checked, recorded, and charged to the department doing the first opera- tion. Stock, blueprint, and work copy of work order are then de- livered to the department start- ing the Job. This assignment is recorded on the route copy of the work order. After the first operation is completed the Job is inspected and returned to the clearing house to be re-routed for the next operation. This procedure is continued until the Job is completed, including final inspection. A delivery ticket in tripli- cate form is then filled out. The original copy is filed in Editor's Mail_________ Dear Editor: Doe8 this school have a lor. and found department? If eo. where is it?

A Boy's Future Can't be Forecast, Says Instructor A spirited little lad, one Fred Lewis, once threw his math- ematics class into an uproar, rhe instructor picked up the frail, but mischievous boy, and set him upon his knee. Fred enjoyed his position of honor (or dishonor) for the dura- tion of the period. The mathematics instructor, T. J.

This gen- tleman towered six feet and three inches into the upper air. 5e weighed a mere 200 pounds. Mr. Crowley racked his memory, no, he couldn't place this young fctlas. Why, Mr. Crowley, don't you remember the boy who sat on your knee for a whole mathemat- ics period? Mr. Crowley was only able to gasp incredulously, Are you Fred Lewis? Yes, replied the frade School alumnus. THE CRAFTSMAN Who's Who in the Varsity One of the most valuable play- ers on the varsity on both of- fense and defense is Harold Hoff- m a n, stocky guard, w h o's service is in its second year. He has also played with the school champs in the intramural league. Harold is very adept on the baseball field. In 1935 at Bob- Lo he pitched and batted his team to victory by hitting two home runs. One hit being with the bases loaded. Having played on the Junior high school championship basket- ball team of Dearborn, Walter Dorosh has work- ed his way up to become a forward on the varsity. He gained val- uable experience while playing intramural bas- ketball for three seasons. Last season he played on the championship team of the W-sec- tion. John Skutnick is playing his first year on the varsity in the guard position. On the court he is usually in the thick of every play. Last year he played on the champion ship basketball team of T-section. He played intra- mural baseball for three years as shortstop, catcher, or pitcher, and com- piled a batting average of .300.

Morning Service Song Leader Once Member of Dixie Eight William Colbert, song leader for the Morning Services, was one of the original members of the Ford Dixie Eight. He sang second tenor. As the result of increasing number of engagements at thea- ters and various other places for entertainment since the formation of the Dixie Eight in 1923, Mr. Colbert withdrew his services from the octet, because no time was available for at- tending church activities. He had been with them five years. Mr. Colbert was then placed in the main hospital as Janitor. At present he is the Janitor in the first aid of Henry Ford Trade School. Students See Largest Press All D-class students, under the direction of Keith Glassley, have made trips to see the world's largest hydraulic forg- ing press, located in the Spring and Upset building. This press can exert a maximum of 2,500 tons pressure. The steam to operate the press is generated in No. 1 power house. This new forging press was in- stalled last summer to replace a 1,000 ton pressure press.

The score was 26-22. Lincoln Park's strong five was leading at the half by a single point. They maintained their lead until only five minutes of play remained in the final peri- od. At this point the Crafts- man rallied on baskets by Gal linat and Ray to forge into the lead. Ray and Gallinat were the high scorer8 with eight and six count- ers respectively, while Whalen was outstanding on defense for the Craftsman. The Craftsman reserves de- feated the Lincoln Park reserves 16-10 in the preliminary game. Taylor, DePaulis, and Walker shared scoring honors for the Craftsman with four points each.

Vincent needed only second place in the five mile race to capture the State ice speed-skat- ing championship after Storms Arnold his rival for honors, had been eliminated by a fall. Bozich was ccaning into the last 30 yard8 with the leaders when his skates clicked, causing him to stumble. When he regained his stride the others were too far in the lead to be overtaken. The next game on the Craftsman basketball schedule is at Wind- sor, Ontario, on Tuesday, Feb. 1. Their opponent will be Kennedy Collegiate Institute, the first game starting with the reserves at 4 p. m. What does a coach say to his team between halves when they are losing? This is what V. F. Richards said at Ecorse High Tuesday evening. ’’Now boys, you're better than they are. Why, if you sank your foul shots as you have in previous games, you'd be leading now. Take your time. Start passing that ball around until scmebody gets loose and then sink that basket. You haven't lost this game yet. Now I want the same five to go back in there and really fight'. ” They went back in and won, 28- 24. The Midget Craftsman team has been victorious in two games dur- ing the last week. Outstanding performances were turned in by Reitz, Cushing, Harrington, De- Grande, Ventro, Hiilburn, Beaver, Valentini, Gauthier, and Farino. The five iron men” from Hazel Park High handed the Craftsman its worse defeat of the season, at the Hazel Park High gym, Fri., Jan. 21. The score was 37-24. Basketball coach (to players): And now remember that basket- ball develops individuality, in- itiative, and leadership. Now go in there and do exactly as I tell you. Edison was once a news boy. Gallinat Stars for Varsity as Ecorse is Beaten 28 24 With Erwin Gallinat starring the Craftsman basketball teat put on a last quarter rally tc top the Ecorse quintet by the score of 28-24 at Ecorse Hi School, Tuesday, Jan. 25. At the start of the game, Wokas sank a field goal to give Ecorse a lead that they held through three periods of play. At the half they were leading 12-7. During the last quarter how. ever, the Craftsman five seemed to come to life. Shots that pre- viously had been missing their mark, began dropping through the hoop. Gallinat, center, seemed to be all over the floor during the rally that saw the blue and gold score 14 points while hold- ing Ecorse scoreless. This gave the Craftsman a 28- 17 lead. The fighting red and white five from Ecorse staged a desperate rally to pull up to 28 24 but time was too short and the Craftsman defense to strong for them to do further scoring. The Craftsman lineup included Moffat, Robinson, Dorosh, Sutton. Gallinat, Strach, Ray, Hoffman, Whalen, and Skutnick. Gallinat sank four field goals and a trio of charity tosses to top the scorers. Dunn was hi for Ecorse with eight points. The Craftsman reserves were de- feated in the preliminary game by the Ecorse reserves, 25-22. Ciungan, Ecorse, and Taylor, Craftsman, were tied for scoring honors with eight markers each.

This uestion is irrelevant, iramate- ial, and incompetent,” cried ,he attorney for the defense, as ie endeavoured to defend his :lient, who was being sued for ,etty larceny. Objection over- ruled, uroceed with the question- ng, said Judge Albert Booth of he A-class. Thus did the Ab- jection graduates try their hand it court proceedings. On January 27, at 10:30 a. m., Sylvester Kallionien had William Sohmier brought into court in toom 48, charging that he U3ed Sylvester's speech, which was jiven in C. R. Rogers’ English :lass on January 25. Edward Pio- trowski was attorney for the plaintiff, while Raymond White vas attorney for the defense. The Jury was panelled and the court called to order at 10:45. William LaBarre was first on the witness stand. Other witnesses were: George Johnson, Milton Cross, and Mr. Rogers. All were subpoenaed. The gift of gab, displayed by defense attorney White, aided him considerably in confusing the witnesses on tech- nicalities . After careful questioning by both attorneys, the Judge in- structed the Jury to decide whether or not the defendant was guilty as charged. The defend- ant was found guilty and Sylves- ter was given credit for the speech. English Tests Show a Drop of 1.4 Points The 1266 classroom boys made an average score of 112.9 on the Pribble-McCrory English test re- cently, a drop of 1.4 since the last test was taken. William Boghian, W-B-l, and Edward Piotrowski, M-A-l, last year's high scorers, again head the list with scores of 172 and 170, respectively. The next five high scorers were: William Crump, W-B-l, 169; Stanley Kaczmarek, W-B-l, 169; Marvin Martin, M-C-l, 168; Eugene Biniecki, M-E-l, 168; and Anthony Falbo, T-E-l, 160. Booster Emblems May Now be Purchased in Room 6 Of 25 contributions for the new Henry Ford Trade School booster emblem, the Judging com- mittee, consisting of V. F. Richards, J. Heinz, and L. Barth- olomew, selected the designs of Andrew Cain, W-D-2, and Jack Moffat, senior. Through the aid of Eric Von Walthausen, drafting instructor, the two designs were combined and the result is the above picture. The emblem is five inches in diameter. The letters and bor- der are in blue; the background is in gold. The numbers signify the student'8 year of graduation, The torch is symbolical to the enlightment received in Henry Ford Trade School. Succeeding students have the duty of han- dling on the torch of knowledge. Emblems may be obtained for the years 1937, '38, '39, ’40, and '41. They sell for 35 cents and may be purchased in Room 6 from Robert Whalen, sports edi- tor. All students wishing to pur- chase emblems should do so at their earliest convenience. The present supply is limited. School Gets New Badges The new badges now being is- sued to students and instructors were selected by Mr. Edsel Ford from a number of designs submit- ted to him by the Trade School and G. A. Gardam, Ford Motor Co. This is the third design in badges since the founding of the school. The badges were made at Nankin Mills. Grads End Academic Work With Party at Alumni Club January graduating students celebrated with a dinner-dance at the Intercollegiate Alumni Club, thirteenth floor of the Penobscot Building, Saturday evening, Feb. 5. The dining room was arranged cabaret style, the tables being left in their places next to the dance floor after the dinner. The roast turkey dinner began at 7:15 and the bubbling enthusiasm that prevailed throughout the main dining hall gave promise of a merry time for the lads and lassies during the remainder of the evening. At 8:30, Jack Fralick, toast- master, after a few words of welcome and congratulation to the graduating students, intro- duced the Ford Mountaineers who earned their share of applause by rendering several cowboy dit- ties and an imitation of a (Continued on Page 3) Trees Planted in Memory of Late School-Shop Supt. In a corner of the Ogemaw State Forest, West Branch, Mich- igan, lies a 40 acre tract of pine trees in memory of J. Frank Ebeling, former shop superin- tendent of Henry Ford Trade School. On Feb. 16, 1931, boys and in- structors donated $100 to pay for the planting and care of the trees under The Detroit News Re- forestation Project of J.931. The trees were planted in the latter part of April of the same year. The late Mr. Ebeling had been connected with the Trade School 12 years, 5 years of which were spent as shop superintendent. When the Trade School was moved from Highland Park to Join the Rouge school, he was made assist- ant superintendent of the B- building. A week after being transferred he died. As he was well liked by both students and instructors, they were eager to establish a memo- rial to him. He died Feb. 6, 1931 at the age of 47.

It paves the way for the practical expe- rience to follow. --Pres. Thomas McCall, T-A-1 Graduation day was a sad, yet happy day for the W-A-2 class. Sad, because they were leaving classrooms and friends behind to work in the shop. Happy, be- cause it was the day they had been waiting for. --Pres. Tom Waling, W-A-2 In leaving school, I leave be- hind many pleasant memories of happy hour8 spent with my class- mates and instructors. --Pres. Maurice Baker, W-A-l The reason why I regret leav- ing the Trade School academic work is that I will, with all probability, forget some of the work I have been taught. It is my sincere regret to leave the class instructors. A fellow really misses that swell advice they have to offer. --Pres. Bill Schmittling, T-A-3 In leaving the classroom of Henry Ford Trade School we start on a new path. The classroom was a place where many happy hour8 were spent. Now it seems that there is an empty place left in our hearts, for our friends will gradually disappear as each of them takes to a dif- ferent road in life. --Pres. Thomas O'Connor, M-A-3 It is my foremost wish that the future classes of Henry Ford Trade School will enjoy as fully and completely this institution of golden opportunity as we have --Pres. Stanley Crump, W-A-3 Words may be spoken and then be changed or forgotten, there- fore the M-A-2 class wishes to take this opportunity to put in- to print their appreciation and thanks to the instructors for the knowledge imparted to us in the last three years. --Pres. Albert Booth, M-A-2 I don't know whether to be glad or sorry that I graduated, for I have enjoyed every minute spent in academic training in Henry Ford Trade School. --Pres. Floyd Carns, T-A-2 We were enrolled, we worked, and we were graduated, these few words sum up our experiences in Henry Ford Trade School. For some graduates it has been very enjoyable. It has given them a chance to learn a trade, and the scholarship enabled them to partly support themselves. If they were graduating from high school, their outlook on life would not be as secure, they would probably be without employment. So now, as we look back to the time we enrolled in the G-class, we wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the officials and the faculty, for giving us a chance to enjoy a part of our lives in a truly great school. --Editor Wilbur Dyer, W-A-l We came, we saw, we conquered. Even as Caesar said these immor- tal words, so may we. We came to the Trade School, we saw a path lying before us, and every obstacle in that path has been conquered. We could not, how- ever, overcome these obstacles alone. It was with the help of shop and class Instructors that we were able to became graduates of the most unique, yet benefi- cial, school in the world--Henry Ford Trade School. --Editor Raymond White, M-A-l Text of Piotrowski's Talk Given at Graduation Part) A9 the representative of thii graduating class I wish to than the other class presidents ani members of the faculty who have made possible this delightful social event. We acknowl edgd their efforts since it gives y one of the very few opportuj nities to meet as a social group The few years we have spent lj Henry Ford Trade School have passed by quicker than we ex. pected. Many of us still remea, her enrollment day--how eager w were to be accepted and to gej the opportunity to learn and t profit. Education is a Struggle It has probably often occurred to many of us that our Road to Learning in the Trade School wai like a Long, Long Trial A Wind- ing. Our struggle for educa- tion was like climbing a hill. It Involved hard work to make the grade. It' s true some of us may have wandered off the road that's paved with good intentions, but we are back on the highway. We hope we've made the grade. We know we never could have made it without the help of our friends and the faculty. We want to express our appreciation and give them credit for helping us over the hard places. And we also want to express our gratitude to the shop in- structors who supplemented our technical education with prac- tical experience. Regrets Leaving Classwork Through our school paper, The Craftsman, classroom work, shop experiences, picnics, musicals, and the field of sports we have become better acquainted. Although our relationship with the school will not be complete- ly served, we regret to leave the classrooms, where we un- doubtedly all had experiences which, if we had the chance, we'd do all over again. Now, as the spokesman for this graduating class, I sincerely wish the best of luck to the school and its instructors. Mastery of little is better than shallow knowledge of much. 3IPAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Boys Celebrate at Ending of Academic Work Dinner-Dance at Alumni Club Rehearsing for the program.

After the brief talk of Mr. Searle, E. Y. Peterson, shop superintendent, was introduced.

Chambers, Henry Ford Trade School dentist, will give his sixth Annual Course of Den- tal Lectures in the auditorium Feb. 16, 23, and March 2. These lectures are given to show and to prove the importance of keeping our teeth in good con- dition. Dr. Chambers will speak on sim- ple anatomy of the teeth, oral hygiene, and methods of restor- ation. Charts, models, and den- tal requisites, will be used as illustrative material. In response to many questions asked about straightening teeth, Dr. Chambers has obtained a spe- cial film that will be shown dealing with that subject.

It is planned that the class shall be affiliated with the Fu- ture Craftsmen of America. Stu- dents wishing to attend should report to Mr. Scott, Room 45. Staff Has New Editors With the beginning of a new semester, changes have been made on The Craftsman staff. Joseph Pinko, senior, will continue his duty as editor-in-chief. Former section editors Raymond White, Tom McCall, and Wilbur Dyer have turned over their re- sponsibilities to Leo Champagne, Robert Schlosser, Stanley Kacz- marek and Harold McRay. Robert Whalen, V. F. Richard's assistant, is sports editor. Twenty-three new reporters have been added to the staff. __________THE CRAFTSMAN___________ Who's Who in the Varsity Erwin Gallinat is the utility man of the Craftsman eagers as he has held down the guard, cen- ter , and f orward positions at dif- ferent times this season. He was one of the most valu- able members of the intramural basketball cham- pions this sea- son. Gallinat can pass, dribble, and shoot in a style that makes him a stand-out.

A scrappy per- former, Jack is usually in the thick of every play. A valuable mem on offense, Mof- fat's best work is done in the defensive department. There'8 nothing like oranges to keep basketball players in good health. But who supplies the oranges? To be sure, 30 ravenous boys can't be appeased with a few dozen. At Salina School when the locals were playing Macken- zie High, every Trade School player came on the gym floor tugging at an orange. The first thought was that some nearby grocer had garnered several nickels. Not so, back of the scene was a whole case of oranges. And sitting on the case was Joe Vecchioni, a guardsman of 170 lbs. of brawn and 6 foot of height. Joe passed on this or- der, One orange each before the game and one after. But Joe has his friends.

Williams, he earned promotion to a second class scout. Final- ly, acquiring merit badges as he worked on, he v as able to gain first class scout honors. But Richard is not only an Eagle Scout, his fellow scouts have conferred on him the lead- ership of their patrol, the Pi- oneers. With the attainment of these honors and his Eagle Badge Richard's scout ambitions, how- ever, will not cease, for he says he is eager to work for a Gold Eagle Palms.

Stoelting Vol. 3, No. 10 Frl., Fob. 25, 1938 Think Before Joking If practical Jokers must have their Jokes, it would be well for them to consider the conse- quences. Of late, several boys have been seen trying to push each others faces into the spray while drinking at the fountains. The school dentist, Dr. R. C. Chambers, points out that this is a dangerous practice. If the teeth should strike the porce- lain spigot, they might be frac- tured or even broken off, caus- ing a permanent dental mutila- tion for life. This in turn would affect the health. The open wound would be a boarding house for contagious diseases and decay. If a boy must play a Joke, he should select a harmless one. Lincoln and Washington It is seldom indeed that a man equal to George Washington or Abraham Lincoln springs from the human race. Both were noted for their sterling honesty, absolute de- pendability, unusual fairness, and high ideals which they put into practice in life and in government. Each was a man of large mental caliber; when duty called he was resourceful; when danger threat- ened he called for his rights; when Judgment was to be rendered the verdict was constitutional. Each one built better than he realized. Washington, more than any other one man, secured our in- dependence and founded our gov- ernment under the Constitution. Lincoln clung to the Consti- tution, kept our country united, and established a new era of goodwill among our people and among the nations of the world. Destroyer or Builder? A vandal is a barbariem who willfully destroys or defaces a building. He is one who doesn't respect the property of others. The lavatory walls of our school are continually being pen- cil-marked. Worse yet, mortar is dug from between the brick. This practice does not only mar the appearance but it is costly. If you like cartooning or de- I signing, do work that is worth- I while, something that teaches a ! lesson or gives good advice. Be a builder and not a destroyer. The Craftsman can always use good cartoons. Enthusiasm - o Grand Thing Enthusiasm is a grand thing. It is behind every successful venture, whether it be in sports or business. Revealing itself in the various sports, it is the very life of the team. The rooters transfer it from themselves to the players.

Mail Dear Editor: Are typists still wanted d Henry Ford Trade School? A few student-typists are al- ways needed, but the greates: demand comes from Ford Motor Cel Only seniors and efficient typ- ists, however, are recoramende: to go outside the school. Why doesn't one of our instrd tor'8 on a bowling team starts bowling league for students? It is suggested by A. N. EdelJ bowling president, that such d attempt should not be carried out too far, because there are] number of responsibilities t: assume. Also, the cost is ex- tremely expensive. Furthermore, only boys who are over 18 year: of age are permitted to bowl. Is it true that a student mud wait until he leaves the Trad School before he can draw on hi] thrift fund, or can he draw d it when he ia 18 years old? Students may draw on the in thrift fund after completing tbj A-class studies, but if they d so, they will not receive furJ ther thrift money.

PAGE THREE New Nickels Replace Buffalo-lndian Head Five-cent coins bearing a por- trait of Thomas Jefferson on one side and an imprint of his home, Monticello, on the other will soon replace the buffalo-lndian head design. The mint discontinued the coin- age of buffalo-lndian head nick- els on Feb. 21, and started mak- ing the new Jefferson coins. On that date the buffalo-lndian head nickel was 25 years old and the law states that the design of any United States coin may be changed every 25 years. If the present rate of mintage continues, 160,000,000 Jefferson nickels will be made each year. Upon returning to the school shop some students are placed on machines, others at bench work and then on a machine. A senior is usually kept on his senior Trade School badge until he is 19. Some boys upon leaving the school are placed in the toolrooms, dierooms, wood or metal pattern shops, electri- cal maintenance, drafting room, or laboratories. Boys who are 18 or over and wish to go to Ford Motor Co. to finish their ap- prenticeship must spend approx- imately four years as an appren- tice in the various departments of Ford Motor Co. After complet- ing his apprenticeship the stu- dent is given a certificate, which certifies that he is a ! Journeyman in his chosen trade. I To date 1,700 certificates have been issued. Andrew Vargo, '30, has been a second class pharmacist mate for five years at the United States Coast Guard, New London, Conn.

Dazzling the Orange and Black aggregation from Belleville with their passing, the Craftsman led at the half, 14-6. The Belleville boys, paced by Timoshek and Kozma, began to click during the third quarter, and after that frame were trail- ing by only three points. Then, with the crowd howling for Belleville to continue its spurt, the Craftsman unleashed an attack that put the game on ice. Robinson topped the scorers with five field goals and a brace of free tosses while Timo- shek, Belleville, and Sutton, of the locals, were next with five markers each. For Henry Ford Trade, Moffat and Whalen turned in four points each, Hoffman and Ray, two, and Gallinat, one. Although they didn't break into the scoring column, Dorosh, Skutnick, and Strach contributed to the score by stellar floor-work. Led by DePaulis, Taylor, and Block, the Craftsman reserves whipped the Belleville Cubs, 30- 15. Martin and Richards fought hard for Belleville. Attention Pellet-Smashers! Attention all ye pellet-smash- ers'. The time is nearly here for the second Henry Ford Trade School ping-p o n g tournament which will be played at Miller School.

Each paddle-wielder will play Who's Who in the Varsity Fred Sutton has played- two years in the varsity as forward, and is one of the most accu- rate shot8 on the team. He has captained two baseball and basketball teams i n intramural athletics. Last summer he held the keystone sack for the Craftsman base- ball team that took first honors in the High- land Park recreation league. Well known for his accurate ability to sink long shots, Jesse Ray is making good in his first year in the varsity as a guard. This season was the first in which he played intramural bas- ketball. His best var- sity performance was against East Detroit High School, when he rang-up ten points.

Other high schools competing are Lincoln Park, River Rouge, Fordson, Catholic Central, De La Salle, and Dearborn. The trac- tors from Fordson have emerged victorious in this tournament nine out of the past ten years, and their current aggregation boasts an impressive record. A drawing on Monday, Feb. 28 will determine the Craftsman quintet's first opponent. until he has lost two games. The last one left will be crown- ed champion of the local table- tennisers. Entrants under 16 years of age will compete in a junior divi- sion, those above that age will enter a senior division. Enroll in Room 6. Intramural Basketball Increases in Popularity During the current intramural basketball season, more student? than ever before entered this athletic program of Henry Ford Trade School. When the Senior Basketball League was organized, ten team- entered and only one failed tc finish its schedule. Eighty-one boys enrolled in the ten teams. Composed of boys in D, E, F. and G classes, the Junior League elicited an enrollment of 17 teams, comprising 145 boys. The Junior League, conducte: on the same basis as the Senior League, called for each team tc play four games, and those win- ning half of that number were then eligible to compete in two-game knockout series for the school championship. More than one hundred games have been played in the tv c leagues. The Junior champion- ship will be decided in about two weeks.

This group includes the entire patternmaking class. Being run on similar basis as the Trade School, the school re- quires the boy8 to attend class studies for one week and spend the subsequent week at shop work. The students, numbering 900 at present, are accepted for enroll- ment after having one year of practical experience in manual training in other public schools, and must be 15 years of age or over. The four year's training received by the boys entitles them to a regular high school diploma. A new school building is being erected in Toledo. It is ex- pected to open in a few months and will accommodate 1200 pupils. This is the only vocational training school in Toledo.

It was found that it decreased mental effi- ciency by 10.5 per cent. Here are some facts that Dr. F. D. Crothers, superintendent of Walnut Lodge Hospital, Conn., observed. In young persons who begin on cigarettes there are always pro- nounced symptoms of poisoning, such as pallor and dullness of activity. The brain acts more i slowly to outside impressions; reasoning is always more or less inaccurate. The capacity to carry out work that requires ac- curacy, steadiness, and persist- ency is lacking. Later appear distinct marks of palsy, twitch- ing of the nerves of the face, and absence of expression due to loss of nerve force. The evils of cigarette smoking, what famous persons think of it, what science has to say about it, and what employers consider it, are all summed up in a lit- tle phamplet, The Case Against the Little White Slaver which can be obtained in the library. Glee Clubs are Appreciated A good glee club draws inter- est to a school's musical atmos- phere. Students are appreciat- ing the work done by the glee clubs of the three sections. They help greatly to improve the singing period every Thursday morning. Their effort is well worthwhile and they should con- tinue with their fine work.

Ancient and Present Kite Facts Told as Season Looms As kite season looms on the horizon, we delve into the rec- ords and here are our findings. Tradition tells us that kites were flown four centuries before Christ. We found this tale of a Korean general, who, being confronted by a rebelling army, sent up a kite in the dead of night with a lantern attached to it. When the soldiers saw it, they be- lieved it to be a guiding star, and they went on to battle. To another Korean general goes the credit for first putting a kite to a practical usage. At- tempting to bridge an Impassable stream, he first sent a kite across. A rope was then tied to the kite-string and drawn across the stream, serving as the nu- cleus of a bridge. The railway bridge at Niagara Falls was built in the same way. In Asia musical kites are flown. Their structures contain perforated bamboo reeds. When wind blows through these reeds, it emits a plaintive moan that can be heard for great distances Kites also play an Important (Continued on Page 4) 350-Pound Bear Provides Steaks A-Plenty for Trio Oh Lord, if you can't help me, please don't help that bear. Such was the prayer of Anthony Kleitch, W-G-l, as he faced a charging bear, unarmed. It took place three years ago while Anthony and his parents were visiting friends in north- ern Michigan. At ten o'clock one morning, Anthony and his parents went out to inspect some traps which the farmer had set to catch bears that had been killing sheep. His father shouldered a rifle. As they neared a small grove, they saw a huge bear imprisoned by one of the traps. The raging bear tugged savagely at the rope which anchored the trap to a ten-foot log. The dense brush screened the beast so that a good shot at it was Impossible. To lure it into the open, Anthony and his mother were to walk near it. The rest was up to his father. The plan was successful, though the bear charged rapidly down on them. The anchoring-log, trailing behind, wedged between two trees, holding the animal at bay until two well-placed shots from his father did the work. The 350-pound bear provided steaks a-plenty for the trio. The floor of the farmhouse is now adorned with the fur, a trophy. Sam Braund, '29, is working for the Lincoln Motor Co. as a chassis designer. Dominic Vettraino, '32, is working in the dieroom in the Pressed Steel Building of Ford Motor Co. Leroy Mears, '33, is working in the main drafting room of Ford Motor Co. Kenneth May, 34, is working in the dieroom of B-Building of Ford Motor Co. William Maischein, '35, works at the Taylor Winfield Machine Shop, Highland Park. Fred Bratt, '37, is an elec- trician in the Motor Building of Ford Motor Co. FAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN Maroons of School League Remain Undefeated Team Only four Junior teams have been able to stand the pace of the competition in the intramu- ral basketball league. Only one of these teams, the Maroons of M-section, has a record unmarred by defeat. James Lenk is the captain of this team. The three other teams still in the competition are the T-sec- ti on Zephyr8, captained by John Myles; the T-section Eagles, captained by Fred Reitz; and the W-section Panthers, led by George Beaver. Tom Harrington leads in scor- ing for the Maroons, while cap- tain Beaver is high for the Pan- thers. The Eagles have a well- balanced scoring outfit with Gauthier, Mahrle, and Reitz. A height advantage over the other teams is enjoyed by the Zephyrs, with such towering eager s as Coleman and Bowerlng to tip in rebounds. Blue ond Gold Win 7, Lose4 By pulling away to a lead in the first few minutes of play against Lincoln High of Ferndale at Miller School, Friday, March 4, the Craftsman quintet gained a 26-18 victory to close its regular high school season with a record of 7 wins and 4 losses. Two baskets in quick succes- sion by Robinson and Gallinat gave the Craftsman a lead they never relinquished. Robinson of the locals and Bulman of the Railsplitters were the offensive stars of the game, while defen- sively, there was no better man on the floor than Hoffman, Blue and Gold guard. Little Known Kite Facts Told part in modern warfare. They have been used for short dis- tance signalling. Photography is another of its various uses. A camera is attached to a kite and is flown over a fort or some strategical point. The shutters are operated by an electric wire. Recently kites have been U9ed in place of observation balloons. A very large kite is obviously necessary to be able to lift the weight of a man. Many receive advice, only the wise profit by it. News Photographs Bowlers Photographers from The Detroit News took pictures of Henry Ford Trade School instructors while bowling last Tuesday evening. The pictures, according to the photographers, are to appear in an early edition of the rotogra- vure section of The News to boost the ceding city bowling tournament. Trade School instructors bowl every Tuesday, beginning at 8 p. m., at Argyle Recreation, Plym- outh at Northlawn. The league is composed of 18 teams. No individual high scoring record seems safe in the Junior intramural basketball league. On Monday, Feb. 28 at Miller School, George Beaver, of the W- sectlon Panthers scored 20 points to tie the previous high mark, held by Tern Harrington. Immediately following this per- formance, Bob White, of the Bob Whites, set a new high record by dropping in 24 counters to lead his team to victory over the Titans. The Lucas bowling team has played four tie games. In the roll-off they won all of them. Tennis season is Just around the corner. All who plan to play this spring report to L. Bartholomew, Roam 38.

This dropping water was especially objectionable in the drafting room. The circulators will also give stale air an outlet, thereby helping to keep the classrooms at a more even temperature. Erich Von Walthausen, drafting instructor, designed the circu- lators. If they are successful more are going to be installed. The Railsplitters Visit The Craftsman Staff Three members of the Lincoln Park High School newspaper staff, The Railsplitter, and their fac- ulty adviser, R. B. Holiday, vis- ited Henry Ford Trade School last Friday to learn how The Craftsman is printed. After examining The Craftsman Mr. Holiday said the page make- up is good, the quality of the editorial work is good, and that the presence of pictures helps to make The Craftsman an inter- esting high school paper.

Edison Institute Girls Take Pictures of School Two girl-photographers from the Edison Institute at Green- field Village, Dearborn, came to Henry Ford Trade School March 15 to take pictures for their stu- dent publication, The Herald. Accompanying and advising the girls was George Ebling, head of the photographic department of Ford Motor Co. The girls, Ann Hood and Jean Schumann, are the only two of the 263 boys and girls enrolled in the Institute that are taking photography as a class. The agility shown by the profession- al -like photographers seemed to be the envy of Trade School stu- dents . Founded in 1929, the Edison Institute began with one teacher and thirty-two pupils. Today the school has increased to 20 (Continued on Page 2) Minstrel Show, May 21 The minstrel show, to be pre- sented by students of Henry Ford Trade School, will be held in the little theater of Ford Ro- tunda on Saturday afternoon and evening, May 21. The two performances will per- mit 800 students, parents, in- structors, and friends to attend. A sewing bee is planned for each section to make necessary costumes. In this show, two tap dancers are wanted. Anyone who knows how to tap dance, report to F. S. Nicholson, Room 5. Body Designing Taught by Ford-Body Designer Mr. Edsel Ford’s request of F. E. Searle, superintendent of Ford schools, la3t summer to start a class in body designing and engineering has been ful- filled. The class is taught by Edward H. Vaillancourt, in the main drafting room at Gate 4. Mr. Vaillancourt, under the direction of Edsel Ford and Joseph Galamb, has been design- ing Ford bodies for the past 12 years at Dearborn Experimental Laboratory. He is one of the first pupils of Andrew F. John- son who is the head teacher of the only body designing and drafting school in America. Of the 33 men in the class, 17 are Henry Ford Trade School grad- uates. Mr. Vaillancourt said Trade School boys had the proper background in drafting and de- scriptive geometry to become body draftsmen and designers. Fred Jones, Trade School alum- nus and Apprentice School in- structor, is being prepared to start teaching this course in the Apprentice School next Sept. The students attend this class four hours each week, two with full pay. During the regular (Continued on Page 2) Scholarships Available for Two Graduating Boys Ferri8 Institute, Big Rapids, Michigan, has sent two scholar- ships to be awarded to the two outstanding students of the 1938 graduating class. Ferris Institute is made up of the following colleges: Junior College, College of Commerce, College of Pharmacy, College of Education, and College Prepara- tory. A-class students who are in- terested in this scholarship may get more information by inquir- ing at The Craftsman office. Do this at your earliest conven- ience. The scholarships are to be presented at the graduating din- ner-dance. Detroit Traffic Ordinances may be obtained in Room 7.

This you cannot un- derstand, for you worked hard and waited patiently for the chance. But, perhaps, if you had tried pursuing the chance rather than wait the chance to approach you, you would have had better luck. It is said all good things come to the one who waits, but it is also said the Lord helps those who help themselves.'.' To reach soaring heights, initia- tive and persistence must be among your virtues. The go- getter stands to achieve much more than the one who waits, even though he may not be quite so intelligent. Why? Because he has the intellect to know that what you want must b e searched for continuously. Waiting brings nothing. Go after what you want. If you succeed, you deserve it; if you don't, try again. It's Just a lucky break you may say, but if you try the go- getter method, a lucky-break may chance your way. Don't be Timid Amateurs, during your contest you were shy; you were timid; your coy acts at the micro- phone lacked confidence. Perhaps you didn't realize it, but you fellows have ability. In the future be determined, step up like men. Hints Given to Aid Students in Guess Who Contest Probably no other in- structor in the school does as much shooting” as No. 19.

In some of their discussions at the Institute, the teachers at times mention the Trade School, therefore our school wasn't entirely new to the girls, although it was their first visit here. When questioned as to their opinion of the Trade School, they hesitated a while before answering, but finally disclosed that the noisy surroundings did not appeal to them. The Boss and the Boy By Edgar A. Guest What's wrong? the boss inquired. The boy Replied: My task I don't enjoy. I want a chance to show to you The sort of work that I can do. But this is tedious, dull and slow You'll never learn how much I know Nor just how clever I can be By giving such a job to me. I have ambition. What I seek Is not the bottom but the peak. rhe boss replied: Do you suggest This task's not worthy of your best? You slight it now because it seems So distant from your youthful dreams. What would you say if I should tell You've never once performed it well? And had I greater tasks to do f should not offer them to you. To larger posts I'd never call The men who'd failed me in the small. But. said the boy. I cannot see How such a task can prosper me. II seems to me a dismal fate To have to come to work I hate. I’m telling you I want a chance To prove myself and to advance, But I can see no future here. The boss replied: Now that is queer! That's something that I didn’t know When I began there years ago.

This is the only class of it8 kind which is con- nected with an automobile con- cern where students have an op- portunity to apply lessons to production drawings'. Mr. Vaillancourt gives the following description of the course: Body designing and en- gineering is recognized today as a profession of high caliber. It stands in the foreground as a leading profession in the auto- mobile industry. Today as never before the in- dustry feels the need for men of unusual designing ability as each year's models surpass the others. We find the design more complicated as the designs ad- vance into more streamline mod- els. This course is intended to serve or assist men who have no previous drafting or engineering experience. It has been planned with the idea in mind to help those men who have the desire and ambition to know more about the possibilities in this field of endeavor. This course applies to the latest development of automobile body design and includes suffi- cient problems to enable stu- dents to properly execute engi- neering problems for automobile body engineering and designing in the future. FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE A Great Contributor to Electrical Field-Steinmetz In a cheap flat in Breslau, Germany on April 9, 1865 lay a woman about to give birth to a child. There was nothing to worry about but the about-to-be- come father kept pacing the floor. He knew his father was deformed, and that he was even worse. He was so nervous that he went for a walk. When he re- turned the baby was born. Lit- tle did the parents know that their deformed baby would be one Portrait of Steinmetz taken in Yonkers, N. Y. in 1889 or 1890. Courtesy of General Electric Co. of the greatest electrical engi- neers and mathematicians in the world. The child was named Karl Rudolph August Steinmetz. As he grew old enough to play around the house, he surprised and at times alarmed his parents by the games he thought of. Hi3 favorite game was to build a tower of wooden blocks and place a candle inside to light-up the interior. The light shining out from the little window seemed to delight his fancy. When Karl first started to school his teachers thought that he was a dull pupil. Suddenly Oil Chips and Scraps are Separated and Salvaged What happens to oil chips and scraps discarded from the Trade School machines? Where do they go? Down the chip-chute, located in the third floor mill depart- ment, are poured oil-covered chips daily. The chips fall directly onto a conveyor in a large washing machine on the first floor. As the conveyor moves along, hot water washes the oil from the chips. The chips after being washed are carried by the con- veyor into a scrap truck. They are either melted and used again or sold to outside companies. When the hot water washes the chips, it carries the oil into a large reservoir. As oil is lighter than water, it floats. As the reservoir fills, the oil overflows into a smaller reser- voir. Here the process is re- peated, the pure oil floating into a smaller reservoir. From this reservoir the oil is pumped into a large tank holding ap- prozimately 2500 gallons. From there it is distributed to the various machines on the first floor. From the Trade School alone, approximately 25 gallons of oil and one scrap-truck of chips are thrown down the chip-chute every day. he began to find his studies more interesting, in fact, he became one of the brightest stu- dents in school. When he fin- ished the University of Breslau he was graduated with high hon- ors. It had always been Steinmetz's hope to come to the United States. It was his good fortune to meet Oscar Asmussen who wanted Steinmetz to come to America with him. Eager to go, Steinmetz accepted. When Steinmetz was on the boat coming to America he caught cold, which made his face swell con- siderably. With no money, a de- formed figure, and unable to speak English, his hopes were almost shattered when the immi- gration officers said he could not enter the United States. Asmussen hearing of this came to the rescue with some money and (Continued on Page 4) Typing Class to Obtain New Portable Phonograph The fact that rhythm is essen- tial in typewriting serves to prove the necessity of a phono- graph which is being provided for C. R. Weems' typing class. A phonograph from the radio de- partment has been used to supply the music, but a portable is ex- pected soon, along with several new records. The phonograph has been in constant use since the beginning of the class. As the students progress in their typing, faster rhythms are used. The first speed test given re- cently to the boys reveals that their rate of progress is satis- factory . Due to the shortage of type- writers, the class is limited to 17 students. Sure Enough! The race is on'. Rising and leaping, forward they plunged, turning and twisting around and around. Steel flashed bare and bright, as with deft precision it shattered the remnants. Then recoiling, prancing and dancing, never retreating, ever advancing, onward they toiled. Now up, now down, now in, then out, they neared the final lap flushing and rushing. Neck and neck, two of them then spur for the home stretch. Down the home stretch they come, bobbing up and down, weaving in and out. But look!-- with one final spurt at last prevails the victor. She won! Bravo! My! how mother could quilt. Can You Explain Better? One young lady in a science class of a high school gave this for the answer to the require- ment Define a bolt and nut and explain the difference, if any. The girl wrote: A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal such as iron with a square bunch on one end and a lot of scratching wound around the other end. A nut is similar to the bolt only Just the opposite, being a hole in a little chunk of iron sawed off short, with wrinkles around the inside of the hole.

Steinmetz soon found work with Rudolph Eickemeyer in Yonkers, New York. Although he was only making twelve dollars a week, he was satisfied that he could make a living. He then changed his name to Charles P. Steinmetz, the P. Standing for Proteus, a college nickname. When he worked for this firm he discov- ered many things including the Law of Hysteresis which most electrical machines partially depend on for their action. Un- like other electrical engineers, most of his in entions were dis- j covered by his mathematical gen- : ius. Just at the time Steinmetz started his rise to fame the General Electric Co. bought the firm for which he was working. In the deal Steinmetz was to be one of their engineers. Steinmetz was well-known in the electrical field, when the company transferred him to Schenectady. Just at this time he discovered the long sought method of calculating alternat- ing current. While he lived in Schenectady he came to love the easy-going Mohawk River, prob- ably because rowing and paddling were sports in which he was not handicapped. He would take his Experimenting with the arc light in his laboratory. Courtesy of General Electric Co. boat and let the current push him along, and then he would paddle to some 3pot he liked and work on some problem which fas- cinated him. It was on the bank of the Mo- hawk that Steinmetz had a farmer build a small camp for him, which now stands at Greenfield Village. When people saw the ; house many remarked that it ! looked like its owner. Perched Steinmetz s cabin at Greenfield Village as taken by 0. R. Scott, school photographer. on a little hill, it stuck out crookedly over the stoney bed of a small creek. It was in this camp that Steinmetz made many of his discoveries. Whenever he would come to his camp he would always be seen with a paper, pen, and cigar. One day a friend of Steinmetz came to his camp. The fire was out and Steinmetz was wrapped with several coats and robes. The friend asked him if he was treating a cold. Steinmetz looked up from his work and pointed towards the stove which was not burning. A mouse just had some children in there,” he said, I can't take them out un- til they grow up. Steinmetz had a liking for all sorts of creatures and made friends with them rapidly. Two crows that were accustomed to fly around the neighborhood were tamed by him. He offered them some food and soon had them eating out of his hand. The crows liked him so well they seemed to wait for him everyday. When Steinmetz was in bed the crows would fly to his window and wait until he arose. He also had a pet alli- gator, monkey, and a few racoons. Steinmetz loved to read adven- turous stories, such as Tom Saw- j yer, and wished there were more j of its kind. He also liked western movies and never missed j one. His favorite actor was | Douglas Fairbanks. His love for I adventure had much to do with j his love for children. In 1901 Steinmetz built a large house. Steinmetz invited I his laboratory partner, Joseph J LeRoy Hayden, usually called his adopted son, to come and live J with him. Hayden soon reared a family. His children grew up ] and Steinmetz was called grand- I daddy. This was the only fam- ily life Steinmetz ever had and these were the happiest years of his life. The boys of Henry Ford Trade School can shake the hand that shook the hand of Steinmetz. B. A. Kazyak, trigonometry instruc- tor, lived only a few blocks from the home of Steinmetz. Be- ing a friend of Joseph Hayden Jr., Mr. Kazyak talked to Stein- metz many times. Mr. Kazyak said that Steinmetz was a great philantropist, and he also loved window shopping on the main ave- nues in Schenectady. In 1923 Steinmetz took a trip to the pacific coast. On the journey back, he got very weak ] and was confined to bed. But before he could rest, his heart failed him. He died October 26, 1923. Steinmetz made many discover- ies in the field of electricity for which the world is grateful. His position has never been filled as chief consulting engi- neer of the General Electric Co.

Of the 162 exhibits, valued at $1,000,000, the moulding ma- chines, featured by three com- panies, were the center of at- traction. The moulds that were made, ash trays and golf tees, were distributed free. A small bench shaper, typewrit- er size, with a six-inch stroke, was also displayed. Ford Motor Co. displayed Jo- hansson gage blocks which are accurate to two millionths of an inch. A blueprinting machine ran off large sheets of decimal equiva- lents. These were given to those who waited in line. The largest tap ever made, a 10 -2 Acme thd., was exhibited. Quartet Sings Outside The students quartet recently sang at a play and banquet at the First Methodist Church, High- land Park and for the Parent- Teacher Association at Edgewood School, Dearborn. At each appearance Louis Pag- anini, tenor, sang A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody, and Hugh Miller, bass, sang Asleep in the Deep. The other two members of the quartet are Vaughan Heard, bari- tone, and Nathan Ferry, second tenor. 6-2 Boy Cops All Honors in M-Section Amateur Show Harry Hogg, G-2, harmonica player, and Walter Maus, A-2, ! pianist, took first and second places, respectively, in the M- section amateur contest which was held after class, March 10. By playing You Can't Stop Me From Dreaming on his 48-reed, super-chromatic harmonica, Harry won the Judges' decision. Al- though Harry has been playing the harmonica since he was 5 years of age, March 10 was his first appearance in a contest. Walter, school pianist for the past year and a half, played The Bee. Walter has been play- ing the piano for six years; he also plays the accordion and the organ. After the Judges, W. F. Dopke, Roan 1, H. E. Young, Apprentice School, and Joe Vecchioni, last j year'8 amateur winner had heard j the musical renditions of the contestants, they took twelve minutes to reach a decision. During that time J. H. Wolfe, director of Ford Apprentice School, entertained the audience with two selections on the piano. Walter Maus was recalled to play Rosalie, and Robert Vogel, one 1 of the tied first-place winners | of last year's contest, contri- buted by singing There's a Gold Mine in the Sky. Harry Rowland, A-3, acted as j master of ceremonies. John ! Staples, C-2, and Jack Curtis, E-3, were given honorable men- tion. Other contestants were: Amedeo Siniagoga, Thomas Kirby, Robert Holtz, David Smith, Nick Vasi, Joseph Greenwell, Charles Hayes, Waldemar Quade, Dominic Magro, and Donald Frederick. Hydraulics Course Taught for Ford Maintenance Men That maintenance men might learn the theory of and how to repair hydraulicly controlled machines a course in hydraulics has been added in the Ford Ap- prentice School. After the men understand the functioning of hydraulic ma- chines, they will find it much easier to locate troubles and remedy them. This course was requested by C. A. Saxon, with the approval of R. R. Rausch, for maintenance men who repair these machines. Hydraulic machines were intro- duced to Ford Company six years ago and since then more than 4000 hydraulic machines have been installed. They have under- gone many changes since then. It is predicted that there will be a great future for hydraulic machines because they are eco- nomical . E. C. Pierce, Ford Apprentice School instructor, is teaching this course with the assistance of V. G. Yuhasz who contacts the men on the Job in the shop. Mr. Pierce has made plans to teach the course in the following or- der: theory of hydraulics, pip- ing, pumps, gages, accumulators, valves, panels, cylinders, elec- tricity, circuits, and trouble- shooting. This course will take two years for completion. It is the only hydraulics course that is taught in greater Detroit. ¥iE)B mwm John Shingleton, M-D-l, Trade School tennis champion, was run- ner-up in the city Junior tennis tournament last year. He has also won several medals for speed skating. Ernest Wettler, W-B-2, has his picture in The Detroit News two years ago when a ball hit over the fence by Charlie Gehringer struck and broke his nose. More than 2,500,000 lunches have been served in the school cafeteria since its beginning over eleven years ago. Two chipmunks and a nut, mounted on a log, were given to J. J. Onderko by a friend.

Other members are Gus Ratzenberger, Harry Yarwood, Bill Gold, Norman Kerr, John Magolan, and Victor Sedlar. Bedecked in gaily colored uni- forms, they froliced throughout the program while their leader tried desperately to go on with the show. Despite their deceiving ap- pearances, only one member of the group is German. The band was organized in 1929 as a popular dance orchestra with 6 Trade School students as its members. They are now in great demand at hotels, banquets, parties, and dances. Horvath Elected Club President Karl Horvath Jr., of the print shop, was elected presi- dent of the Alumni Club at the March 26 club meeting. This was the first election since the club's organization in 1937. Others elected were Eugene Adams, vice president; Peter Quinn, treasurer; Michael Kogut, secretary; and Maurice Cronier, corresponding secretary. The Alumni Club has sponsored four dances at Grande Ballrocan. For the dance on March 26, 200 tickets were sold. Last year the club sponsored an Athletic Banquet in honor of the Crafts- man basketball team. The club meets every other Saturday at the Western Y.M.C.A. Anyone interested in Joining the Alumni Club, (must be an alumnus or A-class student) see Mr. Horvath in the print shop any day after school hours. Lenten Services will be held In the dining room at 2:50 p.m., on Good Friday. For particulars see E. 0. Sanders, leader of Morning Services. Bird House Builders Again Capture Prize Although Jack Baughman, M-F-3, did not enter a bird house in this year's Bird House Building Contest, his brother, Robert, did and won a prize. In 1936 Jack won first prize for a two compartment wren house. Then again in 1937 he walked off with the second prize offered in the single compartment wren house division. But Jack was too busy with his studies to devote any time to the building of a bird house for the 1938 contest. So Robert, his younger brother, took it up- on himself to enter his two com- partment wren house. With this house h e captured the first prize, thereby keeping the Baughman family in the spotlight as bird house builders for an- other year. Next year both boys will at- tempt to place their houses at the head of the list. Safety Demonstrations Held Weekly in Some Departments To help prevent accidents, safety meetings are held once each week after school hours in some of the shop departments of the Trade School. The idea originated in the third-floor lathe department. Since its origin, about a year ago, accidents have been greatly reduced. Demonstrations and explana- tions on running machines safely, and on prevention of tool muti- lation are given by the instruc- tors. 250 Baseball Minded Students to See Movie Two hundred and fifty base- ball minded boys of Henry Ford Trade School will attend the Fox Theater tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock for a premier showing of the film American League School for Better Baseball. George Moriarty, American League um- pire for twelve years, will be on the stage explaining the picture. This picture is being pre- sented through the courtesy of the American Legion. Tickets were given to Coach V. F. Richards by F. W. Edwards, former personnel director of the Trade School. Mr. Richards distributed the tickets among the boys who par- ticipated in baseball last year and to the captains of each team for this season. Only those who have tickets and are between the ages of 14-17 will be admitted. A souvenir bat will be given to each boy upon leaving the theater. Boys will meet in Times-Square at 8 a. m. Then under police escort they will march with 5000 other boys to the Fox Theater. Delegates Attend FCA. Meeting Six delegates from the local Future Craftsmen of America chapter attended the state meet- ing, held to elect officers and appoint committees, at Western High School, March 26. The delegates were Charles Mc- Whorter, Waldemar Quade, Emmette O'Rear, Walter Grunst, William Sly, and J. J. Onderko, adviser. John Kiselewski, state presi- dent of the F.C.A., delivered the welcoming address. The main address was given by Earl L. Bedell, director of vocational education in Detroit. Mr. Onderko was appointed chairman of the Degrees Commit- tee. Emmette O'Rear, senior, was state F.C.A. treasurer last year. A national convention, for the F.C.A., will be held in Detroit on May 5-7.

April 8, 1936 Intelligent Reading Aids Intellectual Ability Well, nothing to do, guess I'll read a hook. Thus is ex- emplified the spirit of this modern, racing generation to- wards the everlasting literature of our literary progenitors. Plunging to the depths, as we yield to the exciting western and mystery stories, we modems scan lightly the works of the intellectual authors. To compile and to feel the thoughts between the lines is to live and be part of the book. Each book opens the naked eye wider to the beauty of the world; mounts one higher and higher, until finally one seems to be perched atop Aetna perceiving the seemingly dull side of the world which is wonderful in the true sense of the word. The finer literature develops an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, increases one’s vo- cabulary, and enables one to discern and describe objects as one may see and feel them. Ev- eryone enjoys an Intelligent conversat ion, and widely read people can sake It both Inter- esting and enjoyable, while the person who perceives with pleas- ure the insipid mystery thrill- ers seems to fade away at the mere inkling of prevailing lit- ature . The reading of bocks brings one to a higher sense of living. The enjoyment ani education gained more than repays one for the time and patience spent in reading. THE CRAFT3.!AH FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 19Jj Hints Given to Aid Students in Guess Who Contest Festivities for Easter Vary in Different Lands All hail to Easter. To fully understand It one should know some of Its history ar.d customs. There wa3 much dispute over the date on which Easter was to be celebrated, different people observing it on different dates. Finally, at the council of Sice, the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 21 of March was set aside for Easter. The custom of giving gaily colored eggs on Easter has been traced back to the early Egyp- tians . The British used to load their horses with eggs and take them to the church to be blessed. They were then taken heme and occupied a prominent place at the Easter feast. Seme of them were saved for amulets. In Mesopotamia. the people have contests with the eggs. Two contestants strike their eggs together and the one that breaks Is presented to the win- ner. Another egg is immediately pitted against the winner «r-� the ccmteet continues until all the eggs are broken. Always scurrying fr® place to place and usual- ly seen wearing a vest and bow tie is none ether than No. 22. He also has an important duty dealing with the bowling league. Most cutaway parts of the Ford car for exhibi- tion have been assembled under the supervision of No. 23. At one time he represented the Trade School at an exposition. A few years age, Ho. U formed a new activity it the school—something that the majority of the students had been re- questing before it final- ly got underway. His willingness in assisting the boys is the cause for the tremendous growth and as being one of the most popular activi- ties in the school at present.

Electroplating is the process of plating or depositing various metals on other metals by means of electrolysis, a process of running an electric current through a solution. Cleanliness is the essential factor when electroplating, for the merest trace of grease or dirt will spoil the plating be- cause the solutions will not ad- here to anything on the surface of the Job. To plate a Job it is first submerged into the cleaner tank containing a mixture of soda ash, caustic soda, trisodium phosphate, and sodium cyanide. All steel parts must have a muriatic acid rinse, after which, it is rinsed in cold water and scrubbed with pumice stone, be- cause it does not scratch the Tom Sawyer Will Again Win the Hearts of Many Mark Twain s immortal story of Tern Sawyer will again return to the heart s of the American people more realistically in a new version produced on the screen in technicolor. The title role is played by Tommy Kelly who was discovered, by talent scouts after a nation- wide hunt, in a Bronx Parochial school. The freckled, 12-year- old son of a W.P.A. worker pre- fers the Bronx to Beverly Hills. He had never read Tan Sawyer. More than 25,000 children were interviewed in the search for child actor8.

This is called a copper strike. Cast iron and steel must first be copper plated for about thirty minutes and copper buffed to remove wheel marks before it is nickel plated. All metals, hard or soft, re- main in the nickel bath for ap- proximately one hour. When taken out of the bath, the piece is colored buffed with an all-stitch bottom buffing wheel to produce a highly polish- ed surface. All gages for Ford Motor Co. and approximately 200 hammer heads each day are polished in this department. George Stuteville, left, watching his boys at the polishing wheels. 'Oh Where Can He Be?' Cries Instructor Over Missing Dog Alas, Nigger is gone. Bitter grief tears at the heartstrings of E. H. Stoelting, English in- structor, as he ponders over the disappearance of his little fox terrier. Nigger was an impor- tant figure in the lives of thr e Instructors. A truck driver found the shiv- ering little dog in a gas sta- tion one night. Immediately taking pity on Nigger, he picked him up and took him to the one man, who, he thought, could pro- vide a good home for him, R. B. Teeple, mechanical drawing. Mr. Teeple was the perfect master until he discovered Nig- ger’s one fault. As darkness would begin to settle, the lit- tle rogue would leave the con- fining walls of the back yard and wander through the neighbor- hood, doing the things that pleased him most. Thinking that a change of mas- ters would do him good, Mr. Teeple presented Nigger to C. R. Weems, English instructor. Evi- dently this did no good for Nig- ger's meandering habits soon re- (Continued on Page 4) e t © e, e John Lutz, '22, owns two Job- bing shops, The Precise Tool Co. at Orchard Lake Road, and anoth- er in Farmington, Mich.

Mr. Weems endured this for a month, and then, in exasperation, he returned him to Mr. Teeple. Mr. Teeple racked his brain for a man upon whom to inflict Nigger. Then he thought of Mr. Stoelting. Surely, he was the one that would provide all the tender care and devotion that Nigger so obviously needed. When questioned as to Mr. Stoelting'8 Joy upon receiving Nigger, Mr. Teeple replied, Certainly he was glad to get Nigger. He was a smart dog. R. E. Bell, civics, offered them this sage advice, I always say that the best way to keep a dog is to feed it. To this, Mr. Teeple retorted, Nigger was too smart for that. He only stuck around until he was'fed, and then he'd leave. For the first night Nigger re- mained contentedly in Mr. Stoel- ting' s back yard. Pleased with this success, Mr. Stoelting de- rided the former owners with this remark, Aw, you fellows Just don't know how to take care of a dog. But his success was fleeting, for the spirit of independence was too deeply embedded in Nig- ger. As the moon rose on the second night, the same irresist- ible impulse overcame him, and he dashed from the Stoelting back yard, into the night, bliss- ful in this freedom from the shackles of human dominance. And now, the dust slowly be- gins to settle on an unopened can of dog biscuits, hidden away in a dark corner of the Stoel- ting pantry. ES In the first match of the sea- son the Trade School tennis team will engage Fordson High School on Wednesday, April 13. There are to be four singles and three doubles. Of the 35 baseball teams in the M and T sections, six ap- plied for the name Wildcats. Starting in 1935, the number of teams competing in intramural baseball has increased from 36 to 39 to 41, and this year Coach Vernie Richards prophesies that 50 teams will enter the baseball league. School's Ping-Pong Champions James Gunn Robert Vogel Strange as it may seem, Robert Vogel and James Gunn, the new Trade School ping-pong champions, both come from the same section and class, M-B-2. This happened due to the difference in their ages. Robert, who is 15, com- peted in the Junior, and James, who Just turned 16, played in the senior division. Robert, who was confident, de- feated the game Harold Marhle of T-D-l to the sweet tune of 4-1. He also acted as referee for the match between James and Frank Leach, which was more or less a see-saw affair. James, in de- feating Frank 4-3, was extended to the limit, three games going to the score of deuce. Many breath-taking shots were made by both boys, bringing cries of ad- miration from the surrounding spectators. Lester Thomas, W-E-l, and Harold McRay, W-A-l, did not show up for the finals due to unavoidable circumstances. The winners and runner-ups will represent the Trade School in The Detroit News Ping-Pong Tournament. The spectators were mainly the fathers and mothers of the com- peting boys.

Perseverance Yields World's Greatest Miler At the age of eight, Glenn Cunningham and his brother at- tended a rural school in Kansas. Arriving early one winter morn- ing they started a fire and an explosion occurred in which both boys were burned, Glenn's broth- er fatally. For weeks Glenn lay in bed while doctors sadly shook their heads. Skin was grafted and his legs slowly healed. Physicians thought it impossi- ble for him to walk again, but Glenn walked, and ran too. Throughout his high school and college day8 Glenn not only gave all his spare time to track practice but became a brilliant student at the University of Kansas and today, at 28, is working for his Fh. D. degree in education at New York University. Clocked in 4 minutes and 4.4 seconds a few weeks ago at the Dartmouth Field House, Cunning- ham brought to a thundering cli- max the most successful season in his career. Asked by a bystander when he intended to quit Glenn smilingly replied, When I can't keep up with the rest of the boys.

The three-day convention will be featured by round table discus- sions, speeches by leading educa- tors, banquets, luncheons, and trips to seven industrial centers. APRIL 22, 1958 Heavyweight Interviewed Amid Autograph Seekers It didn't take long before the majority of the students of Henry Ford Trade School found out that Detroit's favorite pugilist, Jimmy Adamick, was being interviewed in the library Wednesday afternoon, April 13. With Adamick was one of his trainers, Julius Gonzales. Since turning professional in the fall of 1935, Adamick is mov- ing consistently up the ladder. His amateur career, of which he won 8 out of 9 bouts, and his vic- tories over such contenders as Max Rosenbloom, Harry Thomas, Natie Brown, and A1 Ettore, only indi- cates that a crack at the heavy- weight title is nearing. Besides the gathering in the li- brary corridor, a throng of auto- graph hunters already had gathered around Adamick, but that did not annoy him for he said, If the boys want to trouble themselves for my autograph, then I should be perfectly willing to give it to them. Adamick gives this advice to anyone wanting to become a sincere sportsman--1 i v e a clean life. One should have a certain amount of confidence and faith in him- self, he said while still giving autographs. And another thing, he went on, one should be in bed not later than 10 o'clock and by all means keep your mind free from night life and intoxicating liq- uors .

This cancellation was to commem- orate the dedication of the nev ly restored Wright buildings at Green- field Village and to honor Orville and Wilbur Wright. The date, April 16, was selected for the dedication because it is the anniversary of the birth of Wilbur Wright, who was born in 1867 and died in 1912. Orville Wright, the first man ever to fly an airplane, was present at the dedication.

Splendid talks given by George Moriarty, Spike Briggs, Rabbi Fram, Dr. A. G. Studer, and Father Harold Markey, well deserved the cheering of the 5,000 boys in at- tendance . However, the picture itself was the most important. The technical fundamentals of how to play base- ball correctly held everyone's full attention. The smooth, pre- cision-like actions of the pitch- ers explain why these famous hurl- ers are so valuable. The vital features envolved in batting are very well worth imitating. The film's purpose to teach bet- ter baseball should well succeed. Opportunities Are Many With an enrollment of 1720 stu- dents, Henry Ford Trade School finds itself with a waiting list of approximately 5000 boys. Here, while learning the elementary facts and necessary theory for their trades, the boys also re- ceive a cash scholarship, or earn Hints to Contestants Help while they learn. Graduates are looked upon as un- derstanding and knowing machine work more clearly than high school graduates, owing to the consider- able practical experience given them. Each term several seniors receive opportune Jobs in Ford Motor Co. Although unrealized by all, Henry Ford Trade School pre- sents many opportunities. All boy8 are started on an equal basis and no inconsideration or partiallity is shown. So estab- lish a good record .and learn the necessary essentials.

Figures and lines, sym- bols and signs. All these are part of the daily duty of No. 27. He is a quiet person, never saying much. His duty is to prepare boys for work yet to come. Alumni Club Encourages All Prospective Members For various reasons, Alumni Clubs which were formed in this school in the past have failed. Because we have no entrance fee, and because dues are only 25 cents for each meeting, we believe we will succeed. Originally, membership in this club was limited, but now, due tc numerous requests, we are permit- ting all alumni to Join. Any former student who is inter- ested may attend our meetings and be under no obligation to Join. If you care to attend any meet- ings please send your name to Karl Horvath, in care of Henry Ford Trade School, or 6117 Neckel avenue, Dearborn. The club meets every other Sat- urday at 1:30 p. m. at the Western Y.M.C.A.

Weighing 190 pounds and standing eleven and one half inches above five feet, Jimmy Adamick is noted for his briskness and aggressive- ness in'his bouts. He was an employee of Ford Motor Co. for one and one half years. Jim Brady, Adamick’s manager, and Mr. Gonzales are employed by the Ford company, under the leadership of Harry Bennett, personnel direc- tor. During the most part of the in- terview Adamick was interrupted to meet many instructors. Even though a few boxers prove successful in their attempt for a comeback, the Midland, Michigan town boy favors Max Schmeling to overmatch Joe Louis in their forth- coming fight. His reason is that Schmeling is a rugged individual and has much determination. A heavyweight rarely gets more than one crack at the title. A The wearing of tennis shoes is not permitted in Henry Ford Trade School or on the campus for safety reasons. They are dangerous on oily surfaces and around railway tracks. If you want to wear them in games, put them on at the playing field. lucky punch will swing him into the championship; there is always that chance; but if he misses that chance, he rarely gets another; there are too many others waiting their chance, he explained to the question about those seeking come- backs . Many of us read newspapers and often wonder if write-ups pertain- ing to well-known persons are true. Adamick stated that most generally they are true, but reporters often exaggerate a little at times, al- though some people like to be publicized with much exaggeration. Jimmy Adamick had not planned to visit the Trade School. He had come to the Ford-Rouge Hospital for an appointment with Dr. B. D. Campbell. He smiled and generous- ly responded Surely, when asked if he would come to the library for an interview. The affable Adamick was very friendly in his conversation. After nearly a n hour's interview, he was called for his appointment. Adamick has had several bids for many fights, but is still ponder- ing upon the identity of his next opponent. One of the most frequently con- tacted departments in Henry Ford Trade School i s the bookstore which concerns itself not only with the sale of textbooks and sup- plies but also with the printing and publishing of the textbooks written by the various school in- structors . The bookstore and print shop, which provide con- stant work for seven instructors, two senior stu- dents, and two to four classroom stu- dents, i s under the management of A. R. Gasser. The bookstore, located on the fourth floor of the B-buildlng of the Ford-Rouge plant, caters not only to the demands of the Trade School and Ford Apprentice School but to all Ford employees as well. Supplies for the students include all necessary school material and precision tools used in the Trade School shop. The textbooks sold number 15. Six of these are sold for the ben- efit of Ford Apprentice School students. There are 130 different items sold. The average stock in- ventory is $8,000 and sales for 1937, including textbooks, totaled $53,865.10. The public first became aware of the educational aspects of Trade School textbooks during the first Trade School showing at the De- troit Convention Hall in 1934. During 1937, 20,768 textbooks were shipped for a cash value of $11,271.48. An average of 3,000 textbooks are shipped each month, the largest shipment for one month being March of this year when 4,300 books were shipped. The largest customer for one order to All sheets for textbooks are typed and edited by Mr. Appleberry. date is Monarch Machine Tool Co., 400 Shop Theory textbooks. Most requests come from high schools, trade schools, colleges, and large industrial corporations, and from every large city in the U.S.A. In addition, orders come from China, Japan, Sweden, Australia, Denmark, Hawaiian Is- lands, and other far-away lands. Lynton Appleberry does all the typing and proof reading. Photo- graphic work is done by Albert Giasson. Pritchard Amstutz has complete charge of filling text- book mail orders. All credit ac- counts of the students in the Trade School are taken care of by Ora Rothbone. Students may charge ary article costing twenty-five cents or more. In the interest of economics it has long been the policy of the store to make scholarship deduc- tions in proportion to purchases. Normal accounts, $6 to $10, draw a $2 monthly deduction; larger ac- counts, $3 monthly.

The print shop, adjacent to the bookstore, contains two Multilith machines, which use the photo-me- chanical process of off-set print- ing, and a large paper cutter. Karl Horvath runs the Multilith machines during the afternoon shift. Edward Morrin has complete charge of the paper cutter and the filing of the used metal plates. The senior students run the print- ing machines during the day shift. The pages of the textbooks, aft- er being typed by Mr. Appleberry, are photographed by Mr. Giasson.

It is the policy of Mr. Gasser to shift all who work in the book- store and print shop from one pos- ition to another so that they are capable of doing more than one Job, in case of necessity. It is not uncommon to photograph and photo-print as many as 25 to 40 new zinc plates in one day. At present, 50 to 75 different Jobs are run daily. Two to five new Jobs are often run in a day for Ford Motor Co. Between 175 to 200 different forms are regularly printed for the Trade School and Apprentice School Besides the regular work done in the print shop, 3,200 copies of The Crafts- man are printed biweekly. A large, round, rotating top, motor-driven table was designed to facilitate assembling the sheets of the textbooks. The motor has a speed regulating adjustment. The sheets are laid on the table in their respective order, and, as the table revolves, are assembled by the boys. About 10,000,000 sheets of paper and nearly 100 pounds of ink are used a year. Many letters are received asking Mr. Amstutz filling several orders for a total of 800 textbooks. information about textbooks pre- pared by Ford schools.

All instructors are invited to bring in offerings. As an example, The Craftsman prints the following story submit- ted by R. E. Bell, Civics. Eating with ants may be a novel experience, but it has its discom- forts. Mr. Bell relates such an encounter with them while living on a Texas ranch. He says the ants were so preva- lent that the table legs had to be placed in cans filled with water to prevent the ants from climbing onto the table. This, however, proved to be a fruitless effort, for the ants would drop from cracks in the celling into their food. While observing them one day, our narrator noticed that they held something between their front feet. Examining one of them close- ly he found it to be a mud ball which they were using as ballast to make them drop straight.

Radio Department Designs Photo Feed Control Gadget A Photo Feed Control, an instru- ment for automatically gaging and controlling the thickness of cold rolled steel, has been completed in the radio department of Henry Ford Trade School. The Photo Feed Control is now in operation at the Tandem Mill of Ford Motor Co. In the Tandem Mill sheet steel of .037 of an inch thick is pro- duced. The Photo Feed Control fo- cuses two light beams, one for the plus and one for the minus limit, which is indicated on a zero cen- ter electric meter. When the steel thickness becomes over or under the set limit, the meter hand interrupts one of the light beams which electrifies a relay and starts the screw-down motors. These motors drive the rollers either up or down, depending on which light beam is broken. By the use of this Photo Feed Control a more uniform grade of steel is pro- duced . The Photo Feed Control idea was originated, designed, and con- structed by the radio department. Watchagotnat package? Sabook. Wassanaimuvit? Sadicksshunery fullanaims.

A-Class English Students Answer Numerous Letters Since Feb., 1938, 4750 replies to letters of inquiry frcam many section of the world have been mailed by A-class English students. This letter writing is done in the first two weeks of each semes- ter. Usually five boys write re- plies to each letter. These are corrected and rewritten until they are accepted by the class secreta- ry. The best reply is mailed. Students write an average of three compositions for each hour they spend in English class during the first two weeks. During the first part of this semester 452 replies were mailed. Most successful this semester were Irving Kaufman, T-A-l, and William Van Arsdale, M-A-2, each mailing nine letters. Sammy Gunn, M-A-3, mailed seven letters in one week. He was absent the other week. Instructor Recalls Rare Baseball Play One of the rarest plays in base- ball, and one which calls for per- fect timing and execution, is the triple play. Only once was this feature ever performed in the presence of G. W. Armstrong, mathematics, who played professional baseball in the Three I, Kitty, and Kansas State League, as a catcher. While playing with Clarksville, Tenn., in a game against Cairo, 111., at Cairo, the game had gone 13 innings with the score dead- locked at one run. In the first half of the four- teenth inning, M r. Armstrong's team put over a run. The heme team, Cairo, came to bat in their half of the fourteenth inning with a one run lead to overcame. The lead-off man worked Clarks- ville’s hurler for a pass. The next player laid down a sacrifice and beat it out. This so unnerved the pitcher that he walked the next man. The fans were in an up- roar. Bases were loaded during the last half of the fourteenth, one run behind, and the clean-up (Continued on Page 6) Strange Looking Deer Awes G-Class Hunter Be sure it's a deer. This is the advice that Edward Decker, W- G-l, gives to any prospective deer hunter. Edward's mistake occurred while he and his uncle were hunt- ing in northern Michigan. Early one morning they set out to bring back any deer that was un- fortunate enough to appear at the wrong end of their rifles. A light snow had fallen, leaving a white blanket upon which deer tracks would show clearly. Ere long, they saw the small hoof prints of a deer outlined in the snow, and immediately they set out after it. The fact that their quarry was not far off was indi- cated by the clearness of the tracks. Then, suddenly, from the thicket in front of them, stepped their prey. That certainly was the queerest looking deer they had ever seen. Strange, it didn't have any antlers. Must be pretty young. Still, it was a bit husky to be a young deer. Then, slowly, the realization dawned on them. That shaggy beast ahead of them was a bear. But the bear must have been equally surprised to see the two hunters, for he stood there motion- less until struck by one speeding slug from the gun of Edward's un- cle, and then slunk to the ground. Now, all that remains of the bear is his memory and his fur in the form of a rug resting on the floor of the home of Edward’s un- cle. H. A. VanLooy, '27, is a dentist. His office is at the corner of 12th Pallister avenue, Detroit. John Holly, '29, is working on the Detroit Police Force. David Skalsky, '30, is working as a machinist in the Excello Tool Co., Detroit. Gabriel Sisoler, '30, is a die- maker at the Fisher Body Corp. Gordon Ellingson, '30, is a foreman at the Dundee Mills, Dun- dee, Mich. He recently filled an application for the U. S. Navy.

PAGE SIX THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1938 Craftsmen Drop Baseball Opener to Redford High With Mitchell on the mound, the Craftsman baseball team lost its opening game of the season to Red- ford High School April 14 on the latter's diamond by a score of 4-2 The game seemed to be a pitch- er's battle. Mitchell appeared to be quite nervous in the first in- ning, but he showed a speedy re- covery by retiring the side in order with two strikeouts and mak- ing a toss to first. During the entire game, Mitchell struck, put ten and allowed two walks. Mason, Redford's hurler, 8truck out 8ix and walked one. The local nine rang-up five hits with Sonnenberg, catcher, getting the only extra base hit, a two bagger. Whalen, Sutton, Baker, and Hunter all hit singles. Hedgecock, Gasgon, and Pellerin made Redford's three hits. Craftsman infielders made four errors. Coach V. F. Richards said, If the boys keep up the good work they are sure to make a good show- ing this season. Sailboat on Display in Library build one. If one side of the hull of this boat is held up to light, objects are faintly visible through it. This is due to the thinness of the hull. In shaping the hull, an electric light is held inside the hull and stock is removed until rays of the bulb show through. The boat weighs 16 pounds, 12 pounds of which are contained in the keel. The use of machinery In making these boats is forbidden; the main tools used are plane, saw, mallet, and gouge. Instructor Recoils Rare Play batter coming up. With the first and third basemen playing close for a play at the plate and the second baseman and j shortstop playing back on the 1 grass for a double killing, the pitcher, still Jittery, pitched three balls. All runners were in motion with the pitch. The batter took a terrific swing! The crack of the bat and the thud of the ball in the first baseman's big mitt were as one report. The first baseman calmly stepped on first and then rifled the ball j across the diamond to the alert third baseman t o complete the triple play. The players left the field while the bewildered home town fans were trying to comprehend the diamond j drama. Instructors' Bowling League Closes With Wrenbeck on Top Marvin Wrenbeck's team finished in first place in the Henry Ford Trade School bowling league which I closed April 5. All names of the winning team will be engraved on a trophy, which is now on display In the library. The team received $35, first prize money. Other members of this team are George L e s a k, Clayton Merritt, Thomas Brown, and Raymond Petrie. They won 50 and lost 31 with an average of .617. J. Wilson's team ran a close second, winning 49 and losing 32 for an average .605. R. Nichol's and J. Onderko's teams were tied for last place, winning 31 and dropping 50 for an average of .383. Mr. Wrenbeck helped lead his team to first place by making a score of 246, the highest for a single game, and 641, the highest score for three games, for which he received $10. Urban Lucas' team made a score of 952, the highest for a single game, for which they received $2 each. John Blum's team received $2 each for ranking highest in three games with a score of 2586. Guy Armstrong, Earl Cook, Fred Schiller, Joe Coultier, and Cecil Westerman, captain, compose the only team with one hundred per cent attendance. Tennis Team Takes Beating in Initial Practice Games Henry Ford Trade School's 13 tennis players played their first practice games April 13, with Fordson High School on the lat- ter's courts. Six doubles and seven singles out of the 19 match- es were lost to Fordson. Coach L. Bartholomew said, Considering the small amount of practice the boys had, they did very well. John Shingleton, M-D-l, won a single from Howard Halstead with a 6-2, 6-3 score. Both boys made good shots and played a fast game. H. I. Beddow, coach o f Fordson ! High, complimented John on his swiftness in covering the court. Ed Piotrow8ki, senior, captured a single from Gilbert Hocking with 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 scores. Ed and Gil- bert played together last year. Other players that won are: Bud Cushing, T-E-l, James Gunn, M-B-2, Albert Haining, M-C-l, and Robert Vogel, M-B-2. M. Wrenbeck 700 Students Participate in Intramural Athletic Program More than 700 boys are partici- pating actively in the intramural athletic program that is now in progress and that will end June 25 at Bob-Lo Island where the Trade School annual outing is held. Inclusive in the foregoing num- ber are 46 playground teams, four league ball teams, 18 tennis play- ers, and 15 golf players. Coach V. F. Richards is assisted by two instructors, Lawrence Bar- tholomew and John Heinz. Keith Gla8sley supervises golf while Mr. Bartholomew directs the tennis. Seven students will also assist in the Intramural program. Erwin Gallinat is assisting with each section. The following will have duties when their section is in class: Nick Vasi, Vernon Usher, Lloyd Block, and Fred Sutton. Two more helpers will be appointed.

This day originated in England hundreds of years be- fore Miss Anna Jarves suggested it in 1907 at a public meeting in Philadelphia. Her memorable words of the occasion were, In honor of the best mother that ever lived, your mother. Thanksgiving, it's a feast, Christmas, it's gifts, Easter, it's new clothes, and Mother's Day, it's flowers. Mother's Day was incepted with the purpose of honoring mothers, but it is rapid- ly becoming commercialized. It is not necessary for one to buy flowers to celebrate Mother's Day. Celebrate Mother's Day May 8, and keep on celebrating it every day of the year by being kind, thankful, and helpful to her. This is the only genuine tribute that can be given to mother—your best friend.

You are depending too much on the sport advisers, who at present are taking on more respon- sibility than ever before. Take same of the load on your- selves. Be more careful with the equipment. By doing this you will not only prove that you're able to carry responsibilities as the boys that originated the program did, but you will also show your ap- preciation to the sport advisers. FC.A. in Notional Convention A team of three boys will par- ticipate in the automobile start- ing contest. The team will be se- lected from the following list: Elmer Benzing, William Funk, Elton Howe, Walter Grunst, and William Reid. Joseph Grill will attend the convention as a reporter. These students were conducted to the convention by J. J. Onderko. According to Robert Stirnac, na- tional president, the purpose of this convention is to bring the chapters into closer unity, there- by building a stronger organiza- tion. William B. Stout, automotive and aeronautical engineer of interna- tional reputation, is offering a trophy to the craftsman who enters the most useful and ingenious de- vice. This trophy is a beautiful silver trophy, symbolic of crafts- manship in its finest sense. Besides contests, dinners, trips and lectures, other features, that will be of interest to the young craftsmen, have been planned. Only green things grow. ‘Horse Sense' After leaving Henry Ford Trade School, you will, no doubt, beccane an employee. Whether you give your services to Ford Motor Co. or some other concern, give the best you have. Elbert Hubbard's article Horse Sense, printed below gives some sound advice. If you work for a man, in heav- en's name work for him. If he pay8 wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him, stand by him and stand by the in- stitution he represents. I think if I worked for a man, I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of his time, but all of his time; I would give an undivided service or none. If put to a pinch, an ounce of loyal- ty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn and eternally disparge, why, resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's con- tent. But, I pray you, so long as you are part of an institution, do not condemn it.

And don't forget I forgot won't do in business. —Elbert Hubbard Band Organization in Progress With the cooperation of all of those who are musically inclined, Isaia Petovello, of the print shop, is endeavoring to organize ft military band. The first band rehearsal will ts held Tuesday, May 10 in Room 7 at 4 p.m. Anyone who can play a band instrument and would like to Join report at Tuesday's rehearsal. FKIDAY, MAY 6, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE School Basso Undersung Male Chorus of a College A contra-baeso-profundo of the deepest variety haunts the ABC de- partment of Henry Ford Trade School. No, they don t use it (the voice) to scare ABC boys. It'8 a very deep voice in the per- son of Meyer (John) WinsJansen. John undersung the whole basso- section of the Luther College Male Chorus, of Luther College, Decorah, Iowa, when they sang in the Ionic Auditorium, in Detroit, April 6. The chorus challenged John to a singing duel, and he gallantly ac- cepted. When the battle ended, the crowd was astonished, for John had sung three notes lower than the best of the chorus, and he was still dropping. The Scandinavian Record, a Jour- nal for Scandinavians, printed this account of John 8 glorious triumph: For when all had gone down and down the scale to the lim- its or their range, the seventy- year-o 1 d contra-basso-profundo, Meyer Winsjansen, was still going down same more. How far down the scale he might have gotten under the inspiration of the occasion will never be known as the de- lighted cheers of the assembly drowned out his final tones. To add to his exultation the leader of the chorus told John that the bassos he had beaten were the best that had sung for the chorus in many years. WE EDB BWK Roy Stallth, senior, graduated on the same day, Feb. 4, on which his father marked his 25th year with Ford Motor Co. and Trade School. Mr. Smith works i n the Trade School clearing house. Twenty-four per cent of the boys, totaling 15, on the T-section Hon- or Roll are from the C-l class. Marvin Dey, senior, is in Henry Ford Hospital with a broken arm and back. He was injured in an automobile accident. John Fusoiu, T-B-l, went to the , finals in the Junior tennis tour- j nament last year at Palmer Park. The exchange department of The Craftsman sends out the school pa- per regularly to 37 different schools. Joseph Reece, M-G-l, partici- pated in four symphony concerts as a trumpeter while attending the Sampson Grade School. He was only eleven years old at the time. G. A. Yerex who distributed tick- ets to members of The Craftsman staff for a play which was held Saturday at Fordson High School. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford were a t the play. W. F. Mueller, Apprentice School, who has been lying quietly in bed for five weeks at the request of his doctor. Mr. Mueller has been convalescing frcm a run-down con- dition. He plans to return to school Monday. To the 75$ in the Trade School who do not chew gum and to 95$ of those who do for not spitting it into the drinking fountain. Student Has Early Issue of Detroit Pioneer Newspaper May 5, 1831, alx years prior to Michigan 8 admittance to the Union, was the birthday of a Detroit pio- neer newspaper called The Demo- cratic Free Press and Michigan In- telligencer. The proud owner of one of the first issues (Vol. 1, No. l) is Norman Strysewski, M-B-l. Norman said that this heirloom was handed down by his great grandfa- ther. The paper was issued when Presi- dent Andrew Jackson was campaign- ing for re-election. The paper greatly praised the president and his administration. Sheldon M. Knight was the pub- lisher of this pioneer paper. n his first publication he stated that he would endeavor to give the citizens of the interior a pa- per based on true democratic prin- ciples. The paper differs greatly from our present Detroit papers. There were no banner headlines. Only small topic heads introduced the stories. In this paper of 1831 there is one column of foreign news, one want add (Wanted: An expert ac- countant), and two advertisements. Convalescing Student Leaves Hospital After Long Illness Robert Spurr, W-E-l, who has been convalescing in Seymour Hos- pital, Eloise, Mich., from an at- tack of general strep infection, wishes to thank his many Trade School friends and instructors for their interest in his behalf dur- ing his recent illness. In an automobile accident last fall Robert suffered a compound 'Students Must be Willing to Accept Responsibility1 Just what should the pre-voca- tion or vocational courses in high school consist of to satisfy the demands of industry? is a typical question that comes to F. E. Searle, superintendent o f Ford schools, repeatedly. In attempting to answer this question Mr. Searle said, What count8 most in persons of all ages are the characteristics and the personality of the individual rather them the small amount of knowledge or skill the student may lug away from em educational insti- tution. It is his belief that students must be brought to a realization that facts are of little benefit in earning a living. To the question What must em- phasis then be placed on? he gave the following outline: 1. Willingness—even eagerness to accept responsibility. 2. Skill to analyze the things to be done by recognizing that every Job must be divided into simple parts. 3. Desire to work--if necessary-- even beyond the hours pre- scribed. 4. A realization that education is continuous and has only started at school graduation. Robert Wise, 29, is teaching machine shop at Cass Technical Evening School. Robert Riske, 30, is a foreman in the toolroom of Murray Body Corp., Detroit. William Richardson, '31, is a toolmaker at the Briggs Manufac- turing Plant, Highland Park. Joseph Sakuta, '32, is a tool and diemaker at Chevrolet Motor Co. John Jidov, 32, has spent four years in the U. S. Navy at Los Angeles harbor. He took a civil service examination in Detroit in March and expects to receive an appointment either as a draftsman, social worker, or an investigator. ; fracture of his left arm. The arm 1 became infected with a strep germ which caused gas gangrene. To pre- ; vent this frcm spreading to other part8 of his body it was necessary to amputate the arm between the shoulder and elbow. Robert is now at heme but will not return to school until next term. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1938 Ohio Students Visit School factory with the men, took a day off on their own time in order that they may get a view of the Rouge plant and see their machines in practical operation. A small group of the hoys, all of whom are over 18, gathered around 17-year-old William Tilly and marvelled as he deftly applied Johansson gage blocks and ampli- fier to his Job. They stated that such precision was new to them. One of the students was deeply concerned over the purplish hue on his skin caused by the mercury lights, for he could think of no way to wash it off. School Hos Chicago Visitors Thirty-two representatives from engineering clubs i n the Carl Schurz High School and the Wright Junior College in Chicago, Illi- nois, visited the Trade School April 25, during a two-day tour of Ford Motor Co. The group consisted of six boys from the Wright Engineering Club and 21 boys from the Schurz Engi- neering Club, accompanied by their sponsors, W. F. Willard and H. R. Solem, and three other instructors. Interested in engineering condi- tions at Ford Motor Co., the group chartered a bus to bring them here for their two-day stay. Before leaving, the boys praised Ford Motor Co. for its generous hospitality. Golfers Vie for Position on Four-Man Tourney Team The final elimination golf game, preparatory to the regional golf tournament, May 21, will be held on May 14 to enable Keith Glassley, coach, to select a four-man team. Tryouts for M-section golfers were held at Lancaster Hills on April 23 with Clyde Hooper, A-2, in low medal position. T-section battled for low places on Saturday, April 30 at Hawthorne Valley. Arthur Credit, C-l, was low man. W-section will compete for low honors at Rackham tomorrow. The three best golfers from each section will be placed in a four- some with an instructor. This will make three, four-man teams. Players from one section will be placed in separate groups so that two players from one section will not be together in any one group. The four best golfers out of these three groups will be organ- ized into one four-man group which will represent the Trade School at the golf tournaments; place has not been decided. Tennis Selections Mode for State Tournament Selections for the varsity ten- nis team to represent the Trade School in the annual State Region- al Tennis Tournament were made by L. H. Bartholomew, tennis coach, last week. John Fusoiu is No. 1 singles player; John Shingleton, No. 2 singles player; and Edward Piotrow- ski, No. 3 position. Albert Haining is teamed with Frank Leach to make the No. 1 doubles team, James Gunn with Hen- ry Jasion for No. 2 doubles team. Irving Kaufman and Harold Marhle are alternates in case of substi- tutions. The same players will represent the school when playing other high schools. The only exception will be Bud Cushing who will team up with Gunn on the No. 2 doubles. Cush- ing is ineligible to play in the Regional Tournament due to the fact that he is in the E-class. Melvindale Downs Craftsman Melvindale High School defeated the Craftsman baseball team Thurs- day, April 21 at Melvindale by a score of 6-2. The Craftsmen were unsettled in the first two innings, 4 runs be- ing scored off them. Hoffman, pitching for the Craftsman, al- lowed 3 hits, struck out 7 and walked 8. The Melvindale team played heads- up baseball until the seventh in- ning, when the Craftsman scored their runs on errors made by the Melvindale team. Sonnenberg made the Craftsman's only hit. Eight errors were made by the Craftsman team. The Trade School Intramural Base- ball League got off to a fine start when the M-section was in class two weeks ago, but it looks as if the T-section ran away with honors in runs and hits made in one week'8 play, making 171 hits and scoring 130 runs. Sonnenberg has hit safely in every game he has played for the Craftsman team this season. He has played in every scheduled game. Play will start within a short time on an addition to Clippert Field which is now used by neigh- borhood children. Workmen have been filling in dirt for the last week and are now leveling the field to permit the hardball players to play with safety. The field is located on Wyoming near Tractor. Home Runs DecideVictor of Croftsman-Mockenzie Game Mackenzie High School defeated the Craftsman in a fast game at Mackenzie, Tuesday, May 3 with a final score of 6-4. Five of the six runs scored by Mackenzie were due to homers by Spomer, Travis, and Whitehead of which two were clean-ups with an- other man on base. James Mitchell, who pitched the first four innings for the Crafts- man, was charged with all the ’Mac- kenzie runs. John Nagel, who re- lieved Mitchell in the fifth in- ning, struck out four and walked one of the seven batters that faced him. Accurate fielding by the Mac- kenzie nine robbed the locals of several long hits. The Craftsman scored one run in the first inning on two singles and a walk. They were held score- less until the sixth inning when they scored two runs on a double by Milton Cross. The last run was scored in the last inning on a single by Nagel, who stole second and scored on an infield out with his smart base running. Highland Park Ties Score Early «coring enabled the Crafts- man baseball team to tie Highland Park, 4-4, at the spacious Wallace Field in Highland Park in a seven- inning game, April 25. The Craftsman probably would have won had they been alert In the second inning. Cliff George was on third and Harold Bernardin, who was coaching at third, missed the squeeze-play signal. James Mitchell laid down a perfect bunt, but George was an easy out at the plate. Highland Park used two pitchers, Pillsbury and Mason, each yielding four hits, while Mitchell pitched the entire route for the Craftsman, allowing only four hits. Bowling League for Students to be Organized in September In September a bowling league for students of Henry Ford Trade School will be organized. This league will be under the supervision of Cecil Westerman, Steve Vigh, and G. W. Armstrong. Games will be bowled every Sat- urday morning at the Argyle Recre- ation, located near Plymouth Road and Grand River Avenue. Mr. Westerman will go to the Argyle alleys any Saturday morning? if notified in advance, to give boy8 help in the fundamentals of bowling. ®lte draftsman VOL. 3, NO. 16 HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL, DEARBORN, MICHIGAN MAY 20, 1938 Tempting'Feed'and Telescope Exhibit Is Planned by Group An exact reproduction of a New- tonian 10-inch reflector-t y p e telescope will be transported frcm Mr. Bartholomew's hame-m a d e telescope. the home of its builder. Max Bar- tholomew, bench instructor, to Cass Benton Park, near Northville, within a week or ten days to per- mit students and instructors to study the many wonders of the sky.

(Continued on page 3) Classmen Plan to Nip Shop in Annual Duel at Bob-Lo Defiant of fate, the class in- structors met on Friday 13 in Roam 13 to plan their strategy to wal- lop the shop instructors in their annual baseball clash at Bob-Lo ; Island, June 25. Sane believed that meeting on this ill-fated day spells good luck and proposed to meet the en- emy without formal practice. However, when a vote was tallied, 11 to 6 said that formal practice would be held at Ford Field in Highland Park every Saturday morn- ing. E. H. Bailey called the meeting. Harry Serwin was elected pilot. The shop has won the last two duels. Eight Students Receive All A's for New High Honor Roll Record A new high record was establish- ed for the Henry Ford Trade School Honor Roll. Eight students of the 172 who qualified for the April Honor Roll received all A's. This was the highest number ever to be recorded. The eight students are: Gerald Gauthier T-D-l, Stanley Kaczmarek W-A-l, Floyd Haskell T-D-l, Frank Leach T-A-1, James Lenk M-B-l, Ralph Slade M-A-l, Donald Long M- D-l, and Homer Hunter M-E-l. Society of Tool Engineers Are Evening Guests of T. S- The school cafeteria was vir- tually turned into a banquet hall on the evening of May 12 when 295 members of the American Society of Tool Engineers came to visit Henry Ford Trade School. Uniformed waitresses served the dinner on China plates. The meal was prepared by Coffin-Nunnelley Co., the company that prepares the food for the Trade School. Walter F. Wagner, master mechan- ic of Lincoln Motor Co., is na- tional president of the A.S.T.E. Four Trade School alumni were in the group. After their stay in the school, they watched Ford men making glass the modern way in the Glass Plant. From the Glass Plant they were transported by Ford Motor Co. buses to the little theater of Ford Ro- tunda. In the theater F. C. Young of the Ford Motor chemical lab- oratory talked on Tool Materials and Their Handling in Ford Motor Co. The A.S.T.E. is an organization that recognizes a man because of merit. The essential requisite to become a member is a knowledge of tools and their application in manufacture of products. Boy Scouts Are Requested to Register at Bookstore In order to help Boy Scouts in their efforts t o obtain Merit Badges, all scouts are requested to register with Mr. Rothbone at the bookstore. Many scouts in the Trade School are eligible for Merit Badges for work done in the school. Regis- tration will also ascertain the number of scouts in the school. A scout exploring hike was led by Mr. Rothbone through Ash Cave, Southern Ohio, May 14 and 15. Leach Grasps First Prize in FC.A. Speaking Contest Also Elected Notional President of Organization Frank Leach, T-A-l, not only won first prize in the Future Crafts- m e n of America public speaking contest, but also was elected na- tional president at the first F.C. A. national con- vention at the De- troit-Leland Hotel, May 5-7 in Detroit. Speaking on the topic Future Craftsmen Move- ment , Frank won first prize, a decision rendered by three professors in speech ed- ucation frcm Wayne University. A bench grinder was the prize. More than a year ago Frank won the state F.C.A. speaking contest. For that contest he was awarded a bench wood-lathe. A new national president is cho- sen every year. Robert Stimac, former national president, said, If Frank has the same splendid cooperation that I had, this or- ganization will reach great heights. Frank will be advised in his new position by Dr. Irvin S. Noall, director of vocational education, Salt Lake City; Dr. Louis V. Newkirk, director of in- dustrial arts and elementary sci- ence, Chicago; A. D. Althouse, su- pervisor of vocational education, Detroit; and Stimac, retiring (Continued on page 4) Noted Speakers and Educators Heard at Journalism Convention To hear notable speakers, to participate in round table discus- sions, and to learn ways of im- proving their school paper, nearly 800 students representing approxi- mately 150 schools attended the Michigan Interscholastic Press Convention at Ann Arobr, May 5-7. Eight attended from Henry Ford Trade School. An address of welcome was given by Donal Haines, professor of Journalism and director of the convention. Professor Haines also led a discussion on sports writing.

No. 33's boys repair wind instruments on the third floor. Wear a Poppy A pain racked man lies in a state sanitarium, crippled for life; his wife struggles through long and weary days, trying to support their children. This is Just a picture of the millions of families who have sacrificed, that peace from war might be possible. Poppy day was instituted for the purpose of relieving this condi- tion. By buying a poppy, partial secu- rity is given to the families of the world war veterans who are ev- er thankful for this relief. The children are given clothing and food. The veteran is given hope. How proud one should feel to be able to buy a poppy and help some family that has never been able to overcome its weakened condition. When buying a poppy, one is not giving money away, but repaying a small portion of what is due to the men who fought in France. Give as much as you can; it will be appreciated. On the Spot When The Craftsman staff left for Ann Arbor recently to attend a Journalism convention, they were told that the school would expect a better school paper after their return--ON THE SPOT. It’s a good thing to be put on the spot—it serves as a challenge —it should cause one to think. Perhaps it is one of the best ex- aminations. When on the spot the individual either produces or he doesn’t--the results are obvious. Lincoln always tried to foresee the spots and planned to be pre- pared for them. His motto was I will try hard and prepare myself and maybe someday my chance will come. Military Band Underway Isaia Petovello of the print shop i s organizing a 25-piece military band.

Brave was the deed that he wrought When far the battle was spent, And a good fight they say he fought When the soul from his body was rent.

Five young men with faces of erious mien and with eyes intent pon the flood of red before them, eated themselves at the long, [ast finishing touches for a per- fect fit. lard-surfaced table. They dug their fingers into the lacerated arms and legs that lay thereon. Ibe round-faced skipper took up his post at the head of the table. Just behind, stood a score of others, waiting their turns to be measured with the tape. Again flashed the steel, twice. Once more eager hands picked up and pieced together the fragments that fell from the blades. Rapid- ly worked the fingers at the table, and anon was completed another costume for the minstrel show. Thirty-five followed in like fashion--all done in a fortnight, and all by Trade School students. In crews of five boys each, they worked, stationed in the window- ed corner of Roam 6. Here Jack Messerschmidt, T-B-3, having stud- ied tailoring for two years, di- rected the sewing. Jack measured the cast members and laid out the pattern pieces, while the boys sheared out and hasted them together. Despite a little confusion at times, Jack and his crew claim to have enjoyed their interesting work. Final stitching was accomplished at the homes of the cast members. The Kiss But. . No. Just. .

Joe Vecchloni, M-D-l, left the Trade School to complete his high school course. He is now enrolled in the 10B class at Fordson High School. The total amount of scholarship increases given students of Henry Ford Trade School annually is ap- proximately $36,000. — Two hundred new books were re- ceived by the library last week. 'No Women Shall Pass' Co-eds, apparently, are not on equal 'footing' with men. Not back to medieval Europe are you referred, but only thirty-five miles distant--to Ann Arbor, where on the U. of M. campus poses the beautiful Michigan Union. This building was erected for the purpose of housing conventions and gatherings such as the recent M.I.P.A. convention. Women, how- ever, while granted every freedom inside the building, must enter and make their exits through the side door. It is oddly requested in the will of the building's do- nor that through its front door no women shall pass. Two watchmen are hired to pre- vent ladies from going through the front doors. ---------------— Telescope Exhibit Planned (Continued fran page l) Dr. E. R. Phelps, professor of physic 8 and astronomy at Wayne University, will be present to talk on astronomy. Dr. Phelps and J. H. Wolfe, director of Ford Ap- prentice School, are the authors of a trigonometric function book and two shop math books. All students wishing to attend the outing must register in Room 39. Exact date cannot be set, due to weather conditions. G. W. Armstrong and Keith Glass- ley will prepare a feed. Their intentions are to do all of the cooking at the park. C. R. Weems and B. C. Brewen have made plans to brew the coffee. While the cooks are preparing the grub, L. H. Bartholomew will supervise a soft ball game. It will be necessary to register early so the matter of planning the lunch can be carefully done. Cost of the lunch will be prorated Oh Well — Red Is a Favorite Color Anyway Friday the 13th--in the red'. Disaster struck early for Harold Neubauer, cutaway department, on that fateful day last week. It didn't concern his financial sta- tus, however. Shortly after the 7:30 bell, Mr. Neubauer stood gazing out the paint shop window, foot perched on a large can of red paint, observ- ing the delicate beauties of the rising sun. Suddenly, without warning, the lid of the can gave way, and Mr. Neubauer's foot slip- ped into the crimson fluid. Unable to withstand this, the paint can fell to the floor, with Mr. Neubauer after it. He arose, trousers splattered with red, not an ordinary red, mind you, but a blazing scarlet. Perhaps fearing the wrath of his new wife, the dauntless Mr. Neu- bauer donned a pair of painter's overalls, and spent the next hour over a bucket of paint-thinner, washing away the traces of his misfortune. Speakers Heard at M.I.PA. (Continued frcm pago l) the assembly meeting on Friday morning. Other speakers from the U. of M. delivered talks at round table discussions. J. E. Newman, G-man, discussed Crime and News. H. C. L. Jack- son, Detroit News, spoke on Dif- ficulties of a Columnist. Fritz Crisler, head U. of M. football coach, was the object of a demon- strative interview by sports writ- ers. Newspaper problems were air- ed at the clinic conducted by Professor A. A. Applegate of Mich- igan State College. Incidental music, between the banquet and dance on Friday night, was furnished by the Ford Moun- taineers . At the conclusion of the conven- tion, Fielding H. Yost presented each adviser with three copies of 100 Year8 of Athletics at Univer- sity of Michigan, one of which may be seen in the library. At Mr. Yost's invitation, delegates attended the Michigan-Illinois track meet and the Michigan-Indi- cina baseball game. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1938 Craftsmen Clip Fordson's Nine-Game Winning Streak Hoppe Hits Double With Boses Loaded in IIth With bases loaded in the elev- enth inning and nobody out. Bill Hoppe, outfielder, proved himself a timely hitter and delivered a ringing double to nip Fordson High's nine-game winning streak by a score of 6-4 at Fordson field, Monday, May 16. Leading off in the eleventh Frank McElroy hit his third single of the game and Andy Darin was hit with a pitched ball. Venda Hunter then filled the bases with a sin- gle to left. After Hoppe doubled the Fordson hurler played safe and intentionally passed Jerome Tus- zynski, who had previously gar- nered three hits. The Craftsmen were then retired without further scoring, bringing Fordson up For their last bats. John Nagel, Craftsman hurler, then took matters into his hands and retired the side, striking out the last man, who let the third go by without attempting to swing, to climax a seven hit victory. Varsity Golf Team to Vie at Regional Tournament Henry Ford Trade School Golf Team will compete at Huron Hills, near Ann Arbor in the Annual State Regional Tournament, Saturday, May 21. Final tryouts were held at Idyl Wydl Golf Course, Saturday, May 14. The boys with the lowest scores were chosen for the team.

The recent minstrel show had many beneficial achievements for its participants. The experience of entertaining a public audience was something worthwhile-, some- thing which helps build up the participant's personality. The responsibility of putting on the show was assumed by every member of the cast. They realized that this was necessary for the success of the show. The members received the enjoy- ment that come8 from entertaining others. They had poise and con- fidence. Nothing was lacking. The whole affair was an experience that cut an imprint in the partic- ipant's character. Money cannot buy that character maker. Win Friends Win friends; became genuinely interested in other people; smile; remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most Impor- tant sound in the English language; be a good listener, encourage oth- ers to talk about themselves; talk in terms of the other man's inter- est; make the other person feel important and do it sincerely. You may lack seme of the above qualities which, if carefully ob- served, may be of aid to you in winning friends. Many a friend- ship has been marred because of seme little fault which you pos- sess. It may be in your conversa- tion, your manner of approaching people, or in other bits which you have not considered. Whatever it may be, it should be healed. Contest Closes, Contestants Boys Prove to be Good Entertainers on Stage A thunder storm broke loose in the Ford Rotunda, May 21. A dark cloud of faces hovered over the stage and thunderous applause broke loose from the audiences, while myriads of flashes of multi- hued lightning played over the ebony-plated performers in the Trade School minstrel show. They danced, sang, played their instruments, and carried on a run- ning dialogue of Jokes so well that some of them were called back for two encores. At each end of the semi-circle sat two end men, while in the middle of the line sat the interlocutor who gravely asked the end men such questions as would briug out their stock of Jests. Apparently, the only fault with the auditorium was its limited size. Both performances had a capacity audience while crowds Jammed the doors trying to gain admittance. Lighting effects were superb, adding many color changes to the already brilliant display of cos- tumes on the stage. The orchestra played beautifully and drew a large share of the evening's applause. The stage-fright which charac- terized other Trade School per- formances was totally absent in the minstrel show. The program breezed along in so informal a manner that any student in the audience could easily imagine it to be the same playful banter that occur s at any informal gathering of young men. A five dollar bill isn't very heavy, but sometimes it's diffi- cult to raise. Urged to Submit Eye-Names Two victories and no de- feats is the amazing base- ball record of the team of which No. 34 is captain. His opposing team will en- deavor to put over a crush- ing defeat to halt the con- secutive winning streak when they lock horns at 3ob-Lo. No. 35 is one of the sev- eral instructors of one of the largest departments on the third floor. He secured more minstrel show tickets than any other instructor. A thorough inspection on every Job completed in the department where the ma- chine work goes round and round is the daily duty of No. 36. This series of eyes marks the conclusion of the Guess Who con- test. In this contest thirty-six i instructors eyes have been print- ed. A bound edition of Volume III of The Craftsman will be awarded as prize to the winner. All students who entered this ; Guess Who contest are urged to submit a complete list of the in- structors names whose eyes appear- ed in the contest. In selecting the winner, Judging will be based upon the number of instructors', names that correctly correspond with the eyes, spelling, and neatness. This contest is not open to mem- bers of The Craftsman staff or in- structors. All entries must be dropped in The Craftsman Drop Box, Room 39, not later than Friday, June 10. 'Weather Just Fine,' Relates Alumnus Now Home in England Jack Webster, Trade School alum- nus of 1931, returned in the early part of February to his heme in England. In a letter to Arthur Smeltzer, of metal pattern depart- ment, he writes that he is making dies for an engineering concern there. Jack, a native of England, lived in the United States for about six years, during which time he attend- ed the Trade School and worked afl an apprentice in the matal pattern shop. He writes, I like England im- mensely because of its beautiful countryside and most delightful weather. We have had summer weath- er since Washington's birthday, the day on which I landed. In his letter he also explains that in his place of employment a Job is occasionally done for the ! Ford Rouge plant. fIDAY, JUNE 3, 1938 linstrel Show Staged for Two Audiences at Rotunda More than 800 spectators at- ended. the two performances of the Instrel show in the little thea- er of the Ford Rotunda, May 21. The cast, under the direction of red Nicholson, comprised a chorus f 24, four end men, Thomas McCall, dam Oliverio, William Ransame, nd Gordon MacAlpine, and the in- erlocutor, Frank Leach. The Trade chool quartet harmonized two se- ections. Vocal solos were render- d by Hugh Miller, Vaughan Heard, 1 Dunn, Irving Kaufman, Nathan erry, and Paul Cation. Instrumental solos were played I r Walter Maus, piano; Anthony atchett, accordion; Edgar Schwab, anjo; Charles Chrimoldby, violin. ' The nimble feet of Tom Adams tap anced two routines. Orchestral selections and acccm- animents were given under the .irection of Keith Glass ley. Between the matinee and evening erformances, the cast dined in he cafeteria of the Administra- ,ion Building. The dinner was ollowed by a baseball game. Included in the chorus were faldemar Quade and Harry Rowland hose names failed to appear on he printed programs. Jew Band Enrollment at 24, Leader Invites Beginners The newly formed military band a off to a flying start, accord- ng to band master, Isaia Peto- ello. A grand total of 24 wind- nstrumentalists have already ilgned; more are expected. The number of players is not .imited, stated Mr. Petovello. It is my intention to have all iho play wind instruments, as long ia they can blow the scale, report ‘or practice. In this way, begin- lers have an excellent opportunity -o learn to play an instrument and ilso to became members of the land. Band practice, henceforth, will ie held every Wednesday and Thurs- tay after shop hours in Power louse No. 6, which is located be- ow the highline, east of B-build- tag. ____ The Dictionary [ hope that I shall never be devoid of curiosity foout the meaning of a word toich I have either seen or heard. £ hope when of a word I'm wary, [111 always seek a dictionary, tad learn to use it as a friend ?or help and counsel without end. —The Instructor THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Eminent Surgeon Advises Dr. Charles Mayo of the famous Mayo Hospital once wrote in the Journal of National Education Association: You can get along with a wooden leg, but you can't get along with a wooden head. The physical value of man is not much. Analyzed in the laborato- ry he is worth ninety-sight cents, seven bars of soap, lime enough to whitewash a chicken coop and phosphorous enough to make a thousand matches. It is the brain that counts, but in order that your brain may be kept clear you must keep your body fit and well. THAT CANNOT BE DONE IF ONE DRINKS LIQUOR. A man who has to drag around a habit that is a danger and a menace to society ought to go off to the woods and live alone. Through alcoholic stimulation, a man loses his co-ordination. That is why liquor is of no ad- vantage to the brain. You hear psople tell how they had their wits quickened for the first half hour by liquor, but they don't tell you how later their body could not act in co-ordina- tion with their brain. Model Yacht Wins Two Heats (Continued from page l) Although Steve is calling his boat F. E. Searle, he has been unable to get the name painted se- curely on the highly polished hull. In commenting on the race Mr. Dale said if it had been possible to get the boat tuned up properly before and during the race, Steve would have taken more honors. As a matter of fact, said Mr. Dale, one boy watching the boat in ac- tion Said, after adjustments had been made, to another, 'Here comes that fast, red boat again.' The hull of the boat is of sev- eral thickness of white pine glued together, shaped, and dressed-down to conform to the plan. The sails are made of imported Egyptian duck. To aid good sailing the yacht is streamlined, well-balanced, and has the correct weight for the sail area. There are 3 pounds of lead in the keel. From observa- tion it sails especially well in rough water. It took Steve approximately 130 working hours, including the time spent on it in the F.C.A. exhibit at the Convention Hall during the Detroit Michigan Exposition last February, to complete the model. The F. E. Searle is on display in the library. TaLLTALlS Speaking of fish stories, here's a whopper of a 42 muskellunge weighing 18 pounds caught by Car- men Phillips, Precision Tool de- partment, last Saturday. It was a thrill of a life time, said Mr. Phillips, to see that fish Jump half way out of the wa- ter to free itself. No live bait was used to lure the fish to its doom, only a few feathers on a claw-like hook. The catch was made on Lake St. Clair, a quarter mile from shore. The mu9ky was landed in 10 min- utes after it had broken water three times. Mr. Phillips believes it would have taken longer had not the leader wound around the fish's gills, leaving it helpless. Less than a pound of the fish was cooked by the surprised Mrs. Phillips. The remainder was dis- tributed among friends. Mr. Phillips' advice to fisher- men is to kill the fish before putting it on the stringer. His stringer broke and his prize near- ly escaped from Inside the boat. He intends to mount the head.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1938 Fordson Clips Craftsmen to Even Two Game Series The Craftsmen took defeat Wed- nesday when the Fordson Tractors scored 10 runs to the local's 2 In a seven Inning game at Fordson. John Nagel, who two weeks ago hurled against the same team and halted their nine game winning streak in an eleven inning battle, again faced the Tractors, but was driven from the mound in the fourth inning in an unsuccessful attempt to repeat his fine showing of two weeks ago. He was charged with all of the runs and six hits. Harold Hoffman relieved Nagel and pitched no-hit ball. Craftsmen scored single runs in the third and seventh. Six errors by the locals accounted for most of Fordson's runs. Four scattered hits were allowed by Mangan, Ford- son's moundsman.

After winding up four years at U. of D., he spent the next four at Wayne where his doctor'8 degree was attained. Shortly before his graduation from Wayne, Dr. Gourley was as- signed to internship in Grace Hos- pital. His work begins July 1. In 1934, he was enrolled in the Trade School as a summer student. He spent that summer in the Henry Ford Trade School Exhibit at A Century of Progress” in Chicago. Dr. Gourley said that the train- ing he received ln the Trade School proved to be of great value throughout his under-graduate and graduate work in college. Minstrel Show to be Restaged at Request of Church Pastor The minstrel show cast, which made a hit recently at the Ford Rotunda, will stage its show at the Epiphany Lutheran Church, Sev- en Mile Road and Woodward, next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock.

As the long awaited day comes but once, don't you think you should attend your own special social function? Oakland Hills Country Club, scene of the dinner-dance, is one of the most exclusive clubs in the country. You probably will ask, Why get such a place? The answer: We want to make our party the best in the history of the school. With such musicians as Eddie Minnich and his orchestra, you're bound to have an enjoyable evening. You will be benefited by what Mr. Yerex and Mr. Wolfe have to say. Plan to attend your dinner-dance. --Robert Schlosser Guess Who Contest Results: No Entries, No Prize Claims The ending of the Guess Who con- test did not bring the flood of entries into The Craftsman drop box that was expected. Instead the box revealed a sad tale. There will be no winner of the prize--a bound edition of Volume III of The Craftsman--for the sim- ple reason that no one entered the contest. Was the contest too difficult? Wasn't the prize worth the effort? Whatever it was there were no entries. The contest began in December and ended in the last publication. During this period 36 pictures were printed. If, however, students, ignoring the contest, enjoyed studying the photographs and associating them with instructors, the contest served its purpose. For the benefit of those who saved every publication and would like to refer to the contest, the following instructors' eyes were used: 1. A. Goraar. 2. U. Lucas 3. J. O’Neill 4. D. Souter 5. J. Blurt 6. L. Croteau 7. A. Gasser 8. L. Twork 9. E. Benzlng 10. H. Bearden 11. D. Morrlsey 12. L. Coots 13. E. Morrin 14. E. Gorbett 15. J. Dobrel 16. J. Onderko 17. S. Langford 19. F.

C. McDonle 33. J. Cady 34. N. Credit 35. W. Copeland 36. H. Waite Why Is the South Called Dixie? Money gave to the South the name of Dixie. The principal bills issued by a bank in New Orleans before the war between the States were in $10 denominations. They were engraved in English on one side and in French on the other. On the French side the word Dix was very prominent; as you know it means ten. The Americans thru-out the Mis- sissippi Valley who did not know French pronunciation called them dixies, and Louisiana came to be known as land of the dixies, or dixie land. This inspired Dan Emmett to compose the original Dixie Land for a minstrel show then performing in New York. He embodied in it the expression he had so often heard: I wish I were in Dixie. This song was later rewritten by General Albert Pike, who gave it the thrill that makes Dixie im- mortal, and stamps the name Dixie upon the South. Don't feel sorry for yourself; feel sorry for the folks who have to live with you. Student Enrolled 20 Years Ago Praises IS. This day, twenty years ago, opened life for me, wrote Nellie M. Harrison, Trade School alumnus, in his letter to the school, dated June 10. Mr. Harrison refers to himself as student number 160 as he was the 160th to enroll in the school since its founding. Continuing he wrote, I am ex- tremely grateful for the training acquired at Henry Ford Trade School which has enabled me to live decently in moderate circum- stances. I look back on those years with a deep appreciation for the asso- ciations, the training, and the life lessons learned while there. Mr. Harrison recalled that F. E. Searle was head of the academic work at that time and hoped him to be still allied with the educa- tional work of Ford Motor Co. Mr. Searle taught me one fundamental, that is, figuring angles in such a complete way that I know it as well as I do my name. I have taught many others this same thing and their appreciation has deep- ened my appreciation for the school. After graduating from the Trade School, Mr. Harrison worked in the dierocan ■ of Ford Motor Co. Later he secured employment at various plants around Detroit. By these earnlng8, he completed an engi- neering education at the Univer- sity of Michigan. Since 1929 he has been employed by one of the major aircraft companies in this country. He lives in Connecticut. I find that my main interest is in how shall we make this part or that one and find too that I have a desire to get something under- way as soon as possible, related Mr. Harrison. I believe this re- flects back to my training at the Trade School. He recalls such instructors as Messrs: McKay, Wilson, Ebling, De Witt, French, Graham, Edwards, Ford, and Coppock. Five Attend Boy's State (Continued from page 1) of Michigan State, they were as- signed to cities, and will reside in the cities for the period of Boy's State. Fifty boys will com- prise a city. Two cities will make up a county, and the eight counties will make the mythical 49th state. Recreational activities at Boy's State are under the direction of Coach Charles Bachman, of Michigan State College. tfIDAY, JUNE 17, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Star-Gazers Study Skies After Savory Steak Feed Forty persons and. a telescope tormed a striking picture, silhou- etted in the moonlight on a hill )f Cass Benton Park, while their eyes penetrated the star-lit heav- ens thru the telescope of Max lartholomew, bench instructor, on toe evening of June 2. Weather conditions for the out- Lng were ideal. For many nights reviou8 to the outing, the weath- er was not sufficiently clear to eermit facile vision of the stars, (any nights following June 2 the kies were cloudy. Two ball games, supervised by L. I. Bartholomew, chemistry instruc- tor, were started as soon as the joys arrived at the park. After the feed was prepared, toe cooks yelled Come and get it.” toe boys upon hearing this call Immediately lined up, obtained toeir portion of the grub,” and toasted. The chefs who prepared toe feed are Mr. Armstrong, steaks; fa . Glass!ey, potatoes; Mr. Brewer, lilk; Mr. Weems, coffee; and Mr. Jtoelting, general handyman and 'grub-taster. After all of 33 pounds of broil- sirloin steak, l£ pecks of Ger- nan-fried potatoes, 5 loaves of )read, 3 gallons of coffee and 5 ttilk, and other tasty bites had vanished, only raw onions remained n the table. Then as nightfall begem to set- tle and the silvery moon to stare it the hill on which the telescope fas located, the entire group sur- rounded the exact reproduction of i Newtonian-type telescope to hear 3r. E. R. Phelps, professor o f toysics and astronomy at Wayne Jniver8ity, lecture on astronomy. The entire outing, including all ixpenses, required an expenditure f $17.84. This was counterbal- mced by the $17.85 taken in from the students and instructors as toeir charge for the outing, leav- ing a balance of $.01 clear profit n the trip, which was donated to toe Flower Fund. Grads Prepare for Party (Continued fran page l) roice a few remarks, bidding the jrads adieux. Incidental music by the Ford )lxie Eight will be a portion of toe evening's entertainment during i dance intermission. Eddie Minnich and his orchestra fill render the dance melodies, fcmeing will continue until 1 a.m. Tickets for the prom are procur- ible, per couple only, from class residents. TaLLTALlS Watermelons that can be con- verted into sound cars are being raised by Wilbert Harden, machine construction instructor. Seeds for these melons were pres- ented to Mr. Harden by H. C. Beard- en, grinder department head, who vows that they were selected from a patch containing melons averag- ing from 150 to 200 pounds. Mr. Harden has planted and is very carefully nursing these seeds. Since the melons had such Brob- dingnagian ancestors, Mr. Harden threatens to sue Mr. Bearden for misrepresentation if they fail to reach the 125 mark. However, if he does succeed in raising a melon that tips the scales at 200 pounds, he and E. 0. Sanders, also of machine construc- tion, are going to eat their way into the center of the melon. When all the Juicy, red core is eaten away, they will drive axles thru it, attach four wheels, and use it as a sound car in which to hold street services. Note; The Craftsman demands a sample of these unique melons so that if the above claim be true, its veracity can be vouched for. Annual Outing Next Saturday (Continued from page 1) Two-thirty o'clock will find the class and shop men merging into their annual hardball clash for the Weyhing Bros. cup. Races for boys and girls in all styles of swimming are purposed by swimming supervisors to engage the aquatic-minded at 3:30. A silver cup, donated by J. H. Wolfe, is to be awarded to winners. The school tennis champs will be determined on the Bob-Lo courts at 5 p.m. Gold and silver medals will be awarded. Throughout the morning and after- noon, 0. R. Scott, Fred Nicholson, and Edward Bey, aided by a group of student photographers, will film the day’s high lights. Entire programs for the outing are obtainable in the library. Tickets at 35 cents for children, 6 year8 of age and under 15, and at 75 cents for adults, may be procured from any faculty member of the Trade or Apprentice Schools or at the bookstore. Student body and faculty o f Henry Ford Trade School wish to express their heartfelt sympathy to Max Bartholomew, of fourth floor bench, in the death of his father. Boxes for Gum Disposal Stationed Near Cafeteria Boxes for the deposition of chew- ing gum were stationed convenient- ly near the lunch counters last week, by C. W. Westerman, of the cafeteria, to encourage students in the hygenic disposal of their ’’quid.” The number of pieces thus ac- cumulated on Tuesday, the first day of the experiment, totaled 15. Wednesday recorded an increase of 100$, and on Thursday the apex was reached with 39 pieces. On Friday 32 pieces were collected. Purely for the boys' benefit the boxes are maintained, explain- ed Mr. Westerman. Students, fre- quently putting their hands under the table, may contact gum stuck there, and carry bacteria from it to their food. Throwing gum on the floor, he added, besides be- ing a dangerous practice, may re- sult in an unpleasant experience for someone in cleaning his shoes. Scout Survey Completed A recent survey conducted by 0. L. Rothbone, of the bookstore, to ascertain the number of Boy Scouts in the Trade School disclosed a total of 47. Scouts in the higher ranks in- clude; 0. L. Rothbone--Scout Mas- ter; Harold Young, Gardner Cole- man, and Gerald Gruno--Assistant Scout Masters; Richard Dittrich, Gerard Gauthier, and Albert Beltz- -Eagle Scouts; Leland Comvay--Sea Scout; William Melwicz, Chester Allard, John Moons, John Lonowiz, and Dan Rosa--Life Scouts; Douglas Poole, Pat Romanelli, Sherwood Dilender, and Ford Lawrence—Star Scouts. Besides those mentioned above, there are 31 lower ranking scouts. TIDBITS Joseph White, M-F-3, over turned his boat twice on Sunday, May 29, while fishing in Lake St. Clair. Booster emblems sales have reached close to the 500 mark. E. K. Workman, of precision tool repair, was a professional piano tuner before he came to the Trade School. He does all the tuning necessary in the school at present. Additional '36, '37, '38, '39, and 40 booster emblems have been obtained for those wishing those years. Supt. F. E. Searle is in Massa- chusetts on his vacation. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 193Q Dearborn, Mich., U.S.A.

Craftsmen Scoop Thriller From Metropolitan Post Nine Eight hits and six walks by the Craftsman baseball team gave them the victory over the Metropolitan Post of the American Legion nine, by the score of 6-4 last Tuesday at Northwestern Field. Harold Hoffman, pitcher for the locale, allowed seven hits, walked six, and struck out eleven. The Craftsman scored one run In the first inning on hits by Angelo Darin and William Hoppe, and two in the third on hits by Darin and Hoppe, and on a fielder’s choice for Erwin Gallinat. One more run was scored In the seventh inning on an error and another hit by Darin. Ford Trade’s last two runs were scored in the eighth inning on a fielder'8 choice for Harold Bernardin, a walk by Joe Bartha, and an error by Metropolitan Post's center fielder. Robert Whalen, former Craftsman sport8 editor, is now writing sport stories for the Belleville Enterprise. U OQT flflSUEd Three runs behind in the seventh inning, the Craftsmen combined two doubles, a triple, and a single in that order to tie the score, only to be nosed out in the tenth in- ning by an unearned rim, enabling Melvindale to come out on top 6-5 at Melvindale, June 9. Taking an early lead against the East Detroit High School nine at their field, June 6, the Craftsman rode to an easy victory, 10-3, as hurler Harold Hoffman held the East Detroiters to six scattered hits, walking five and fanning ten. Mulione Earns Tunney Award in Gesu A. A. Boxing Carnival Rallying 1 n the third round after being staggered twice in the first, Francis Mullane, graduate, fought his way to an impressive victory to open the Gesu A. A. box- ing carnival, Wednesday. As the program neared its end, Francis sat in the stands with his eyes glued on the referee. Gene Tunney, former heavyweight cham- pion. All at once over the public address system came the announce- ment that Mullane was wanted in the ring. In the ring Gene Tunney present- ed to the speechless Mullane, a trophy, emblematic of the finest display of sportsmanship of the night. Franci8 may have been lost for words then, but long will he remember the praise received from Tunney before 10,000 spectators. Golfers Hold Tourney at Bald Mountain Forty-six men and four wom- en golfers participated in the Henry Ford Trade School Golf Tournament last Saturday, at Bald Mountain Golf Course, north of Pontiac. Chief among the contests was the handicap tournament. First prize, a small gold statuette of a golfer, was awarded to Dave Anderson, Ap- prentice School student. A silver medal was given to Eugene McAuliffe, Apprentice instructor, for second place. Mr. McAuliffe has placed sec- ond in this tournament for the last three years. The women's handicap tour- nament was won by Mrs. E. Y. Peterson, with Mrs. H. R. Arthur, second. The prizes were the same as for the men. During the morning round, five games were played. Only one apprentice student, Paul Gaponik, clubbed to first place, the other first prizes went to in- structors. The longest drive was won by Paul Gaponik; the putting contest by Marvin Wrenbeck, the hole-in-one contest by Nick Credit, and the blind spot by Richard Mat- zol and George Landry, tying for first place. Each of these win- ners received three golf balls. Dinner was served between the morning and afternoon rounds. No-Hitter Pitched by Bensett in B-Building-Foundry Tilt No hit pitching by Kenneth Ben- sett, Training School student, en- abled the apprentices of the Found- ry Building N-711-X toolroom to defeat the apprentices of the B- building N-711-A toolroom by the score of 1-0, Monday.

Military Band Gives Initial Performance for W-Section The Military Band, under the di- rection of Isaia Petovello, proved that a good band can be organized if the boys are willing to cooper- ate when it staged its initial ap- pearance at the W-section singing period yesterday. Basketball warriors, who up to now have battled amid silence, will be spurred on by lively tunes from the band which has volunteered to play at home basketball games. ®hf draftsman OL. 3, NO. 19 HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL, DEARBORN, MICHIGAN JULY 1, 1938 vlr.

Searle Greetings to the Graduat- ing class of June 1938: Tod ay I heard the president of a graduating class d 1 8- cussing the age old and ever new ques- tion: H a s our college course of the last four years been of the type to fit us best to cope with life? Here among the mountains of West- ern Massachusetts, in a setting of msurpassed beauty with the inspi- ■ation that nature in her happier laments can give, these students rere checking their own progress md asking the same question that rou are asking of a different type f training. It is a common factor in all raining and resolves itself to ihis query: Have we had our right- ’ul opportunity? Whatever skill, desire, or atti- ;ude of mind you have acquired fill largely determine your answer. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, Man Is as lazy as he dares to be. tesire for power, desire for gain, Lesire for show, desire to smooth .ife for your loved ones; but in ihe last analysis DESIRE will be ;he motive which will prevent you rom always choosing the easy path. It has been our purpose to give rou seme experience in many lines In class work and in shop to en- ible you more easily to select the 'ield in which your interest lies. Your school experience has given rou opportunity to make decisions ad to accept responsibilities. We hope that a worthy ambition fill bring you full measures of access in whatever work you may mdertake. Congratulations and best wishes. 28 Graduates Get High School Diplomas Pictured left to right: Vargo, McRay, Crump, Kaczmarek, and Laity. Past But Not Forgotten We pass this final time of part- ing as if on parade. Our time in class has gone with the ages. Its Joy, its studying, and its hatred which, we now regret, will exist only in our memories. Familiar scenes of school will linger with us. They were the sur- roundings which helped to carve our characters. Our achievements and failures will build our road of destiny. In time ahead when we are gone, the instructors will live again from the pages of our autograph books. The autographs of our fel- low students, too, will tell us the history of those good old days. Those of us who succeed may, in part, well thank Supt. F. E. Searle for our training here and Henry Ford for the founding of this great institution. Now our final moment has all but fled and we must say, Farewell to thee. —Edward Vargo Bob-Lo Draws Crowd of 2025 to Annual Field Day Outing Threatening clouds which her- alded last Saturday, failed to thwart the 2025 persons who steam- ered to Bob-Lo for the annual Trade School and Apprentice School outing. The total sale of tickets amounted to $1307.25. Charles Schueler, senior, who led in the sale of Bob-Lo tickets at the dock last year, again proved himself a supersalesman by selling more tickets than any oth- er boy. He was first with $45.75; Waldermar Quade was second with $28.95; and Raymond Tyrer was third with $28.05. Henry James, of grinder depart- ment, led the students and in- structors with a total of $62.30 collected for 77 adult and 13 child tickets. C. R. Weems headed the classmen with $23.70. Northern Honors Four in Exercises William Crump, Stanley Kaczmarek, Garfield Laity, Harold McRay, and Edward W-A-l—in t o graduating frem Henry Ford Trade School, were the recipi- ents of high school diplomas last week, upon their completion of the academic work required for high school graduation. Besides these, high school diplomas were likewise conferred on 23 seniors and alumni. Northern High School was the scene of graduating exercises for Crump, McRay, Laity, and Kaczmarek, June 22. Kaczmarek was distin- guished with second highest honors in the '38 class and Crump also ranked among the elite. Vargo was graduated with the day class at Southwestern, June 23.

Stoeltlng Vol. 3, No. 19 Frl., July 1, 1938 Forward Ever Backward Never Again, as is customary at the end o f each school year, the school publication comes to a ter- mination. This time, it's all doors locked on Volume III. To those who have contributed articles of interest and to those who have worked heartily and con- scientiously in interpreting the school's news, a share of grati- tude should be apportioned, indi- vidually. The school as a whole appreciates the ability which is displayed in an activity of this kind. When class studies are in full bloom next fall, the first issue of Volume IV will bow to its read- ers. New students will try their skills at Journalistic writing. A better publication will be expect- ed. It will be the task of the oncoming Journalists to improve the appearance of The Craftsman in every way possible. New features and improvements have been added within the last year, but that is insufficient. New staff members must strive for better results. The staff needs arduous workers, especially those who do not fear heavy loads. The Craftsman is still young.” It must keep on progressing. Oncoming Journalists, preserve The Craftsman motto: Forward ever, backward never'. The Force of Example Special boxes for chewing gum desposition have been set at con- venient places near the cafeteria. As a result there has been a great falling off in the amount of chewing gum that is mashed on the floor and plastered under the tables. All the students needed was an example of show to sanitarily dis- pose of their gum, and they were eager to cooperate. The force of example, which this illustrates, could be recognized and put to good purpose in other fields. The general run of students will think twice before spoiling the looks o f spotless dining roam floors or planting germs under the tables. Motorists, Drive Cautiously Vacation time is here. Most faculty members and students hit the roads, and it is commendable that they do so. Although traveling is education- al, it has its hazards. For the last few vacations, seme instruc- tors and students have became in- volved in highway accidents, some fatal. Let everyone of us resolve never to be guilty of driving a car be- yond the limits of safety to him- self and others. It'8 all too easy to forget what a terrific force is operated by the accelerator of an automobile. W-Section A-Classes Revel in Celebration of Last Day The W-A classes graduated Friday, June 17 amid much splendor and revelry. At 10:30 a. m. students were al- lowed to leave their classes and obtain the autographs of their friends and instructors. Tables were reserved in the caf- eteria, and the four classes marched to the lunchrocsn with great hilarity. A program was presented in the auditorium at 1 p. m. by students of the four classes. G. A. Yerex and M. B. Numbers gave brief talks. Mr. Yerex presented the diplomas at the end of the program. In addition to acting as master of ceremonies, Harold McRay whis- tled Tippl Tlppi Tin, stopping at intervals to pick up pennies that were hurled at him.

H. Wolfe, Apprentice School director, his faculty and friends, 325 strong, met at pleasant Valley Picnic Grounds, Sunday, June 19 to play, feast, and relax. The athletic Fred Lunde family, guests of Mr. Wolfe, carried away honors in the track events. Jean- ette opened the event by winning the girls' 50 yard dash. Jeanette would have won the baseball throwing contest also had not E. H. Bailey brought his niece Margaret Bailey, to the field. After one hefty fling Margaret was Immediately acclaimed the victor. Quite appropriately, Mrs. Fred Lunde selected her son, Freddie Jr., as a partner to win the neck- tie race--hadn't she tied 14-year- old Freddie's tie every morning since he started to kindergarten. Mr. Lunde and Eileen Stahler tied Mr. and Mrs. Renhard Lind- strum in the egg throwing contest. Eileen and Mrs. Lindstrum squashed the eggs on the last catch. Prizes, given to winners, were serviceable as well as valuable. In fact so attractive that adults tried to sneak into the race for youngsters. Joseph Coultier, starter, discovered C. W. Wester- man in-line-with the 10-year-olds, hoping to win a baseball. Irene Reske, giving her toes the proper angle and supported by a lusty heave, won the slipper kick. For the second consecutive year Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Mullikin won the needle and thread race. Casper found Toots In the mate calling contest. Wynn Philburn was Casper; Mrs. H. R. Arthur, Toots. In the guessing contest Mr. Wolfe stuffed 666 black-eyed beans Into a pint Jar. Johnny Matson and his lady friend pooled their Judgments on the beans and guessed 667--an over-guess of one bean. The Individualists, single men, succumbed to the heat and lost 19- 7 to Hen-Pecks in a 7-inning softball game in the cow pasture. Hen-Pecks claim that married life made them stronger and gave them more stamina. Steve Chayke and Mr. Westerman won the horse shoe contest for the shop. They downed Harry Serwin and Ted Killian of the class. To the Graduates Life is too short to waste In critic peep or cymic bark Quarrel or reprimand Twill soon be dark Up! Mind thine own aim, and God speed the mark! —Emerson FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Walter Maus Officiates as M-Section Grads Celebrate Mid hilarity and much adieu, M- section graduates bid farewell to the classrooms, Friday, June 24, and observed the long awaited with unusual festivity, culminating in an all-senior program held in the auditorium. Students from each of the four A-clas8es took part in the enter- tainment, contributed in the form of dances, harmonica and vocal solos, class wills, prophecies, and speeches. Walter Maus offici- ated as master of ceremonies. Highlights of the program fea- tured the characterization of that popular song The Butcher Boy by W. Grunst, J. Frost, W. Maus, A. DeMambro, and A. Zander, and a speech by A. M. Wagener on The Necessity of Thrift. Beginning at 1 p. m., the pro- gram expended nearly 2 hours, at the close of which G. A. Yerex presented diplomas to the anxious graduates. Swingsters Defeat Dwarfs to Emerge as Senior Champs The W-section Swingsters emerged victorious in the senior division championship game at Bob-Lo when they defeated T-section Dwarfs 17- 6. They won 9 and lost 3 games during the season. Paul Saracino, Swingster's first baseman, led the hitters with four doubles in four times at bat. Steve Nagy, Swingster's pitcher, allowed 11 hits, walked 4, and struck out 5. Arthur Credit, of the Dwarfs, pitched the first four innings, allowing 5 runs, 9 hits, 3 walks, and 7 strike outs. He was relieved in the fifth inning by Orville Anderson who finished the seven inning game, allowing 12 runs, 10 hits, 4 walks, and struck out 5. Eleven members of the winning team were awarded medals. Joe Pinko Ends Year Service os Publication Editor-in-Chief With the closing edition of the present volume, The Craftsman re- gretfully bids farewell to Joseph Pinko, who has been its leader for the past year. Hi8 departure, shortly after this edition i s pub- lished, will not go unnoticed b y the students who have worked with him for the past year. Joe enjoys the distinction of being the first Craftsman editor- in-chief to serve a whole year. The task of building a newly form- ed school paper was a Job, but Joe faced it with determination. Despite many obstacles, he worked hard, adding many needed improve- ments here and there. Now, as the staff compares today's edition with The Craftsman of a year ago, it sees many improvements. The zeal with which he tackled his work is expressed by his moth- er in a recent letter. She wrote, He enjoys being the head of The Craftsman, and at times he devotes much of his time completing cer- tain assignments only because he takes interest in his work. I am sure that the experience Joe has gained since given this splendid opportunity o f working on the paper will mean a great deal to him, no matter what course he desires to follow. In days to come, The Craftsman staff hopes that Joe will always cherish fond memories of the days he spent with them, for the staff will always be proud of their as- sociation with him. --The Staff This is the last issue of The Craftsman this semester. It will resume next fall. School Song Dedicated A school song, dedicated t o Henry Ford Trade School, was in- troduced by Albert Giasson, of the bookstore, during the M-section singing program, June 23. Mr. Giasson, who sang the song, composed the words, while Isaia Petovello, band master, composed the music. Walter Maus, student, interpreted the music on the piano while Mr. Giasson sang. The two composers worked on the song since last December. The song, as yet, is unnamed. T-Section Wildcots Cop Junior Intramural Title The T-section Wildcats set out to avenge last year's defeat and trimmed the M-section Maroons 9-7, to win the Junior league champion- ship at Bob-Lo, Saturday. Rudy, Maroon short-stop, opened the game by drawing a pass and scored as Young was safe on an er- ror. Their lead was very short- lived as the Wildcats got to Lenk, Maroon pitcher, for five hits and a walk to score five runs. After their first inning outburst the Wildcats were never headed. The Cats scored two runs in the second and two in the sixth to end their scoring for the day. Meanwhile the Maroons, trying vainly to overtake their opponents, scored one run in the third and two in the fourth and fifth in- nings. With the score 9-6 and one out in the seventh, Hunter, Maroon's second-baseman, hit a long home- run to cut the Wildcat's lead to two runs, but the Maroons couldn't get any closer to the championship as Gimmell was forced at second by Orr, and Lenk grounded out to end the game. Tank, Wildcat pitcher, allowed 13 scattered hits. The Wildcats collected 12 hits from the offer- ings of Lenk and Jagusch. Each teams made five errors.

Skillful Competition Marks Swim Meet at Bob-Lo Outing While a crowd of approximately one hundred watched, nearly ae many swimmers participated in the swimming races held at Bob-Lo. Competition was keen, the girls matching the boys, stroke for stroke, and nearly beating the op. posite sex. Outstanding for their last year'8 performance, Dave Pushman and Rhodes Walters received two medal s this year and three last year. Doreen Innes, who took first berth last year, won first place again this year in the 50 yard free style for girls. The novelty race was amusing to all. The first 25 yards were swu with feet out of the water and the next 25 with the hands above the water, paddling with the feet. The winners were as follows: 200 yd relay Apprentice School vs. Trade School. Apprentic School won. Winning team: Francis Mondro, Edwin Cady, James Johnston and Leo Ferstle. 200 yd relay App. School East vs. West. West won.

The enlarger is 30 inches in height and is made of wood, metal, and glass. 0. R. Scott, school photographer 8aid that the enlarger was well made and should work as well as one that is factory built. Norman built the enlarger after school under the supervision of Robert Dale. Hollander Flies in Air Meet for Lawrence Institute Pay Hollander, Apprentice School instructor, piloting the Skylark, a conventional type plane, entered one of the five events of the Na- tional Intercollegiate Air Meet at Akron, Ohio last Saturday. Mr. Hollander, flying a plane that he and J. J. Onderko, libra- rian, own, represented Lawrence Institute of Technology in this meet. He has about 150 solo hours to his credit. Due to the late start of the meet, Mr. Hollander entered only one event, the spot landing. He missed the spot about six feet, two feet behind the winner. Be- fore the bomb dropping event, he flew back to Detroit to attend a fraternity dinner-dance. While returning home Saturday evening, he encountered bad weath- er. Flying southeast of Toledo, Mr. Hollander piloted the Skylark Just above the tree tops to keep below the clouds. In answer to Henry Ford's re- ! quest, the largest and most up-to- date tool, die, and machine con- struction building in the world is nearing completion, southeast of i Cate 9, and will be ready for occu- pancy about Nov. 1. G. A. Gardham, who supervises all tool, die, and machine con- struction work, will be in charge of the building. This modern structure, with its gracefully rounded corners, choice ' face brick, and 367,000 square feet of attractiveness, void of i smoke stacks and unbecoming fea- | tures, will be equipped with about three million dollars' worth of machinery. Spotless dining rooms, marble shower chambers, white-tiled lavatories, individual I lockers, and sound proof offices � will adorn the balcony. These are some of the predominating features. Heavy duty machines will occupy I the main crane way while smaller machines will be on the second and j third floors. Several large ma- T-Section Grods Make Merry in Graduating Program Today When came the last day of T-sec- ti on classroom work, the graduat- ing students celebrated the occa- sion in a pompous fashion. Clad in gay attire, befitting the occasion, bedecked with rib- bons and flowers of all kinds, the grads sought autographs of instruc- tors and friends before attending the program which the talented seniors staged in the auditorium this afternoon. With Frank Leach as master of ceremonies, the boys doned a Jovial mood and feared little whatever in displaying their talent8. They were in for a real time. Most of the program was effected with much hullabaloo, but no ob- jections were raised against the Jolly clamor. Diplomas and class pictures were presented at the end of the pro- gram by G. A. Yerex. Thus did the '38 T-section graduating class breath its last in unison. chines, costing approximately $80, 000 or more each will be near the middle isle where three 50 ton cranes are located. Pipe lines for electrical con- ductors, soda water, and oil are underground and come up through the floors to the machines. Soda water will be kept in a san- itary condition and will not be wasted. After the soda water leaves the machine, it will go to a lower level to be purified, chem- ically treated, and returned to the machine. The electric switch boxes will be built in the pillars flush with the wall and nothing will be stick- ing out. The air circulating unit of the building is one of the best. After being cooled in a refrigerat- ing plant, the air is forced thru all the departments. For the convenience of the men, chain-falls and trolleys, as for- merly used, are to be replaced with electric hoists, eliminating hand operated equipment. Faculty Member Leaves IS. to Teach Science at College Lynton Appleberry, editor and typist of all Trade School text- books and lesson sheets, returned Mr. Appleberry last Monday to his Alma Mater, Antioch College at Yellow Springs, Ohio, to teach in the social sci- ence department. Mr. Appleberry was graduated from Antioch in 1934 with a major in social science. He will spend the summer in preparation for his new work which begins in September. Antioch, like the Trade School, follows the work and study plan of education. Students there spend five weeks in class and five on the Job. All students must have credit for outside work before they are graduated. Mr. Appleberry spent three years in the Trade School while a stu- dent at Antioch. Another year was spent teaching in Kentucky and a year working for Ford Motor Co. Seven hundred are enrolled in Antioch, 350 on the campus at a time. It is Mr. Appleberry'8 belief that the study-work plan is es- sential to meet modern conditions. Don't forget your academic work, read, study, and educate yourself, is the message he leaves to all Trade School students. Mr. Appleberry said he was sorry to leave the Trade School and De- troit but is enthusiastic about his new Job, saying he would be able to study more closely the problems that face us. Ford Motor Co. employs several Antioch students. Military band practice will con- tinue twice weekly throughout the summer. The band at present to- tals 23 members, but the band mas- ter would like to see an addition of 10 more players. Anyone inter- ested, see Mr. Petovello in Roam 2. FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1938 _________________________ THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE FIVE PAGE SIX___________________________ Shopmen Register Another Win at Classmen's Expense If it had to rain, why didn't it rain sooner, sobbed the bit- terly disgusted classmen when they left the soggy field in the sixth inning after suffering a terrific whipping to the tune of 15-6 by the alert shopmen at Bob-Lo. Pain drops sent both teams scur- rying for cover in the last half of the sixth inning when the class- men were at bat with one out, but Umpires Yerex and Edel decided to call the game. Incidentally, the score at that time had reached 20- 6, but credit is given for only five innings of play. This makes the fourth successive year that the shopmen, piloted by Credit, triumpthed successfully; this time through the superb fling- ing of Wrenbeck who yielded only four hits. The shop collected 14. Aided by two errors in the first inning, the shop attacked Amstutz, class moundsman, for three runs. Likewise, aided by two errors, the class managed to score but once in their first inning on no hits. Amstutz then hurled in scoreless style the next two innings. Class- men failed to place a man on base in the second Inning, but one cir- cuited the sacks in the third. Then in the fourth inning the shop walloped Amstutz for a seven run rally. In their portion of the fourth Wrenbeck set the class down in order. Again in the fifth, the shop clubbed Amstutz and emerged with five more runs, including a cir- cuit clout by Blum with one man aboard. The classmen put on a short rally in their part of the fifth and tallied four runs at the expense of Wrenbeck. In that in- ning Petovello whacked the white apple with one man on base for a four-bagger. This thrilling combat continued into the sixth inning. At this stage of the battle, Captain Ser- win, much disgusted over every- thing, appointed Arthur to take the mound. Shopmen trounced Arthur for five runs on one hit. However, these runs were not counted due to the game being called. Errors committed by both teams were too abundant to be noted. Minstrel Show Cast Holds Steak-Fry at Cass Benton Profits frcm the minstrel show that was given at the Epiphany Lutheran Church, June 23, were used for a steak-fry for the cast at Cass Benton Park Wednesday. Thirty-six were present. G. W. Armstrong was in charge of steaks. __________THE CRAFTSMAN___________ Ramblers Outscore Rangers to Take Midget Championship By beating the T-section Rangers in a scoring bee, the M-section Ramblers emerged victorious at Bob- Lo, Saturday, to win the midget league championship by a score of 18-12. The Ramblers did well with the Ramblers—Midget Softball Champs men on the bases, scoring 18 of the 19 men who got on base. Scoring three runs on two hits and a walk, the Ramblers Jumped to the lead, but the Rangers, not to be outdone, scored five runs in their half of the first to put themselves out in front. Neither team scored in the sec- ond, but the Ramblers scored four in the third and three in both the fourth and fifth innings to pass their opponents who scored six runs in the fourth inning and one in the fifth, making the score 13- 12. Going into the seventh, the Ram- blers put the game into the bag by scoring five runs on six hits. Both teams gathered 14 hits, but Miller, Rambler pitcher, did not walk one man, while Haezebrauch, of the Rangers, issued five passes. Shingleton Captures Tennis Honors 2nd Straight Year John Shingleton, last year's titlist, won the second annual in- tramural tennis tournament, by de- feating John Fusoiu in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 at Fordson's courts, Wednesday. Rain interrupted completion of the match at Bob-Lo where it was scheduled, and the set was com- pleted at the Tractor courts. ■Dropping the first two games of the first set, Shingleton won the next five games, losing the sixth and taking the seventh. John won many points on errors committed by Fusoiu. L. H. Bartholanew, who directed the tournament, presented the win- ner and runner-up with a gold and silver medal respectively. FRIDAY, JULY 1, 193 Alumni Overwhelm Varsity in Thrilling Game at Bob-Lc Eight singles and two doubles b$ the Trade School Alumni baseball team and two errors by the Crafts- men enabled the Alumni to defeat the varsity squad by a score of 11-3 at the Bob-Lo picnic. Craftsmen scored three runs in the first inning on a triple by Me Elroy, doubles by Darin and Hoppe and a single by Bernardin. Other Craftsman hits were made by Gal- linat, Tuszynski, and McElroy. The Alumni scored three runs in the second inning, two in the third, five in the fourth, and the last one in the sixth. Hoffman started for the Crafts- men and allowed seven hits, walked one, and struck out five. Nagel, who relieved Hoffman in the fourth allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out four. Tuszynski, pitch- ing the seventh, allowed one hit. The Alumni evened the score in the second inning on an error by Nagel which permitted Harubin to reach first. A single by Wilczen- ski, an out by Hartwig, and sin- gles by Lai chalk and Bamowski ac- counted for the runs. Two more runs were scored in the third inning on an error by Hoppe which permitted Koslowski to reach first, a double by Motyka, and a single by Harubin. Singles by Lai- chalk, Lasky, and Koslowski, and two hit batters scored five runs in the fourth inning. One more in the sixth was scored on a double and a fielder's choice.
