raiDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1957 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Editor's Mail Youngest to Oldest - Span of 55 Years Dear Editor: Is there a rule forbidding Trade School boya to wear a mus- tache or get married? 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.

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.

PAGE FOUR 'Darby' Hat is Token of Victory Dear to the hearts of many college students are such tokens of victory as a little hrown Jug, a torn goal post, or perhaps a tattered uniform. The Alumni and Craftsman basketball teams have a unique souvenir, an old 'Darby' hat. With the exception of red and yellow letters, the 'darby' is painted black. The present The instructors and stu- dents wish to express their heartfelt sympathy to Joseph Connor, senior, in the death of his father. lettering on the old hat reads Craftsman-Alumni. At the end of each basket- ball and baseball season the hat goes to the team winning the most games. The winning team will have its name painted in red on the hat. The head size is small, eliminating all danger of either team becoming swell headed. The hat will soon be on display in the library. Bowling Standings Pos.

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.
