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.

The pace was set by Humen and Bommarito, who scored 8 and 6 points respectively. The Beeball season ended in the M-section with the Pirates The instructors and stu- dents of Henry Ford Trade School wish to express their heartfelt sympathy to R. B.

Only one touchdown was scored against them in their six wins and no losses. Angelo Bommarito of the M-A team is the leading scorer of the intramural basketball league with 17 points. Gallinat is a close second with 16 points. The bowling team captained by U. Lucas rolled 952 on Nov. 2. A. Edel, bowling president, said, This will be hard to beat. The Craftsman will play their first basketball game of the season, Nov. 27, at Salina School, engaging the alumni. On the same program will be the annual battle between the class and shop instructors. The only undefeated Beeball team in the T-section is E-3. It is captained by Bob Jenkins. Fighting heard to break Into the winning circle of intramural teams, the Dodgers quintet, rep- resenting W-A class, defeated the W-B class, 22-8. Making 3 touchdowns apiece, Emil Broda and A1 Eckeris helped T-F-l defeat T-B-2, Nov. 3, by an overwhelming score of 48-6. J. J. Onderko, librarian, bought a new bowling ball, and the first night that he used it, he rolled only 87. NOTICE: Basketball practice, for all shop instructors wishing to play this year, will be held at Miller School, cor. Lois and Michigan Ave., 10 a. m. to 12 noon, Nov. 6, 1937. PACTS THREE Craftsman Baseball Team Gets Medals As a reward for winning the championship of the Highland Park Recreation League, each mem- ber of the Craftsman baseball team recently received a small bronze medal. 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. Hunter, catcher, hitting .545 and .471 respectively. Cart You Design ? Here's a chance for boys who like to design. A booster emblem is wanted for our school. Many boys bought their own let- ters, and those who have earned theirs feel that this is unjust. Students having Ideas are asked to sketch them, and hand to V. F. Richards, who, with J. P. Heinz, and L. H. Bartholomew, will se- lect the best. Basketball Standings Team Won Lost Pet.

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. You that want to continue this annu- al program get back of the com- mittee. Be A Booster. The anni- versary program should be contin- ued.

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. Why did members of the stu- dents' quartet get medals at the graduation party when A-class students of the orchestra re- ceived nothing, while they prac- ticed on their own time? The medals given to the two graduates of the students' quar- tet were presented by the in- structors' quartet and not by the school. partial. 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. Unfair treatment of one's study in the understanding will only mean a loss to that person. If a stu- dent is to derive full value from his reading he should study in an unbiased fashion. (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.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1937 Paul Borbey, W-B-i, pur- chased a new leather-bound Bible, costing $20. This book has a brief biography of every person in the Bible. John Kish, M-B-4, John Car- abas, T-D-3, and Nick Vasi, M-B- 3, all were on the Highland Park Rangers championship baseball team last season. Ray Visconti, M-A-2, had a great, great uncle who was a Duke of Italy. L. H. Bartholomew, class- room instructor, was the subject of last weeks' Guess Who. 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. There are approximately 300 J9 E EJ BV1 HM E Lewellen McGowan, '20, ia assistant superintendent of the glass plant of Ford Motor Co. Robert Forton, '21, is a production engineer at the Pack- ard Motor Co. Charles Paganini, '30, is employed by the Artisan Guild. Norman Mitchell, 31, is working in the spindle engineer- ing department of the Excello Corporation. 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.
