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.

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.
