E. 0. Sanders, machine construc- tion instructor and leader of the services, selected Mr. Patch be- cause of his interest in hoys and his many years of experience in police work. All hoys and in- structors are invited to attend. In regard to the coming year Mr. Sander8 stated, We go into this third year claiming all the wonder- ful promises in the Book of God, and looking for our Lord's return. M-Section Radio Club Elects Term Officers Mr. President, I second the mo- tion. The motion has heen made and seconded that we hold our business meetings on Thursdays. This was not the Senate in ses- sion, hut the Radio Club conduct- ing its first meeting Sept. 27 in Room 43 according to the princi- ples of Robert's Rules of Order. These rules of order, originated by Henry M. Robert, a civil engi- neer, are a code of laws propound- ing the principles of order by which an organized body of gentle- men may conduct itself. During this meeting the nine M- section members elected Robert Peterson section president of the club; David Littler, vice-presi- dent; Michael Lusko, secretary; and Norman Hollander, sergeant-at- arms. It was also proposed that in ad- dition to the business meetings the boy 8 should work on their transmitters, etc. on any days that are convenient for them. 2 8 Trade School Boys Attend Night Schools To complete the 60 hours that are required, in addition to the 100 hours received when graduating from Henry Ford Trade School, to obtain a high school diploma, 218 students are now attending 24 eve- ning schools on an average of 5 hours a week. These 218 students do not in- clude seniors. The W-section ranked first in attendance with 78 boys. Close behind were the T- and M-sections with 77 and 63 boys, respectively. Evening school students in the A, B, and C classes represent more than half of the 218. Ten of the 21 students in the T-C-2 class at- tend. Fordson High is attended by 46 students. Ranking close behind are Southwestern, 34 students; Cooley, 28 students; Northwestern, 26 stu- dents; Northern, 17 students; and various other high schools in Met- ropolitan Detroit. One parochial and one commercial school are also represented. It was found that 11 instructors are now attending evening school. Nearly all of these attend Wayne University. Same are taking the course for master's degrees and bachelor'8 degrees, while others are going for the training. Course in Rubber Taught to Apprentice Students To instruct the Ford Motor Co. employees who wish to know more about the history and manufactur- ing of rubber, the Apprentice School has organized a Rubber Course. This course, requested by Rubber Plant officials, is developed and taught by Raymond Shi Hum and Ray- mond Hollander, Trade School alum- ni. Invitation Answers Reveal Interest in Alumni Party Dally the mail brings reply cards to the Alumni Office from the 4500 alumni and instructors who have received invitations to attend the alumni party commemo- rating the twenty-second anniversa- ry of Henry Ford Trade School. The stag party will be held at the Light Guard Armory, Brush and Larned Avenues, at 6:30 p. m., Saturday, Oct. 22. The price is 75 cents. All alumni and instructors are Invited whether they have received formal invitations or not. Reser- vations, however, should be made by calling the Alumni Office. As addresses of all are not available, the committee is aware that many have not received invitations. Taking a cue from the response that has been shown to date, the committee is making plans to feed 1500. The party will be unique-- no long speakers will be on the program. Instructor, Alumni to Head New Plant Anthony Cece, foundry instructor, left the Trade School last week to take charge of the foundry work at the new Carburetor Plant at Milford, Michigan. He will work under two for- mer Trade School students, Harry Barkley, who i s superintendent of the new plant and Donald Backoff, Barkley assistant su- perintendent . Mr. Cece be- g a n foundry work in Eng- land when he was 11 years old. He re- c e i v e d 50 cents a week. Half of each day was spent in school. In 1914 he started work- ing for Ford Motor Company, being transferred to the Trade School in 1926. A. E. Ramey, who has worked for Ford Motor Company since 1927, will take his place. Harry Barkley was graduated from the Trade School in 1922 as an hon- or student.

Meet the G -Class (Continued from page 3) ball8 which were autographed by Tiger bal1-players; others have received the thrill that goes with shaking the hand of Charlie Geh- ringer, Pete Fox, or Rudy York. Novel experiences? All have their stories to tell. I have killed hundreds of cat- tle and hogs, said Paul Quint, W- G-l, when relating his experiences. Paul, a muscular youth, has spent many odd-hours in a small, down- river slaughter house. Paul Tomell, T-G-l, has not been late or missed a day of school since he entered the 2B at Steph- anus Luthern School. While in the fourth grade in Gar- den City, Lyle Williams, T-G-2, was the fastest runner in his grade. He claims he was forced in- to top speeds by a big bully who delighted in chasing him home from school every night. After h e Bowling Season Opens for Four Trade School Leagues The rumbling of balls and the crashing of pins heralded the open- ing of the instructors' three bowl- ing leagues and the newly formed students' bowling league. Instructors League No. 1 started Sept. 13 with twelve teams. Their president is A. N. Edel; B. C. Brewen, secretary and treasurer. They bowl at Argyle Recreation, at 8:15 p. m. on Tuesdays. Instructors League No. 2, which began Sept. 21, consists of eight teams. The president is S. F. Langford; E. Workman, secretary; and W. F. Dopke, treasurer. This league bowls at 5:15 p. m. Wednes- days at West Warren Recreation. The Apprentice School Bowling League, which began Sept. 16, con- sist of four teams. The officers are Harold Young, secretary, and Fred Schiller, treasurer. The Students League has twelve five-men teams. Ted Bonaventura, C. W. Westerman, and G. W. Arm- strong are supervising the bowling. ceased to fear said bully, he lost his swiftness. The American Legion Award was won by William Mat land, T-G-l, in 1936. To have shook the hand of Henry Ford is the thrill of my life, says Walter Yeager, T-G-2, who met Mr. Ford in a roadway near Camp Legion. No use to ask your name, said Mr. Ford, for I would forget it anyway. Mr. Ford inquired as to Walter's grade in school. James Werner's, W-G-l, great, grand uncle, Frederick Vanderbilt, designed the Brooklyn Bridge. Heaped on past experiences comes the ringing of a time card, wear- ing a shop apron and skull cap, re- ceiving of their first scholarship. Faculty Extends Birthday Greetings to G. A. Yerex Convention took a holiday last Tuesday when G. A. Yerex, person- nel director, came face to face with a birthday greeting card ly- ing on the seat of his automobile. The card, autographed by nearly all school instructors, was signed after Mr. Yerex was overheard mak- ing a Joking appeal to Rene De Raine, chef, for a special birth- day dinner. The following morning a note on the instructors' time clock ex- pressed his appreciation. It read: Thank you for your kind words on my thirty-fifth (?) birthday. Thirty-five years? It was sug- gested that working with boys makes Mr. Yerex grow younger, for it was hinted that he was older than that when he came t o the Trade School ten years ago. Later in the day the card was dated 9-20-18 by one who attempted a guess. His identity is unknown. Foundry Boys Bow to Men of Foundry in Final Game Foundry boys took defeat Satur- day, July 27, when the foundry men, whom the boys had beaten in three previous encounters, scored 14 runs to the foundry boys' 13 in a nine inning game at Haggerty Field. Joe Grill and A1 Berthel lead for the foundry boys with the two home runs of the game, in the fifth and ninth innings, but even this failed to bring them victory. C. Whitey Barnes, short stop and captain of the foundry men's team, was star hitter of the day with a triple, two doubles, and a single, in five times at bat. L. Jeska, foundry instructor and organizer of the foundry boys' baseball team, supplied all the baseballs needed besides treating the boys to ice-cream and pop aft- er the game. Netters Win Opener Opening fall tennis campaign the Ford Trade Netters defeated Per- shing High School, 2-1, in a match played at Jayne Field, Sept. 15. John Shingleton won his singles match, while John Fusoiu and A1 Haining won their doubles. Henry Jasion and Fred Ascroft were de- feated . Kenneth Young and Dennis Marland are to be baptized at 7:30 p. m. on Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Gospel Assembly Hall, Wyoming and Midland Avenues, where the Trade School Morning Service group is meeting. All are invited. G-boys receiving their first scholarship.

Stoeltlng ▼ol. 4, No. 2 Friday, Oct. 7, 1938 On Consideration On the fringe of a crude mid- western farming town, dwells a humble farmer on his goodly acres. Every evening his genial hearth is circled with a host of friends. Every acquaintance evidences that an evening spent in his company is an undying recollection. Why? What is it that so endears this man to the hearts of his friends?— certainly not his cultured tastes. He eats with his knife; he ties his napkin under his chin--BUT his whole nature is supersaturated with a kindly consideration for others. There you have the answer. He is polite; he is courteous. Oft times small courtesies ap- pear too trivial to be practiced. To avoid the discourtesy of walk- ing in front of or between two conversationalists reveals a spir- it of consideration. Just such consideration, the small courtesies which are appli- cable in our daily rush of life, are the elements which endear us to all whom we meet. A Friend in Need A friend in need is a friend in- deed is an old saying that might well apply to some of the new stu- dents in Henry Ford Trade School. They are more than likely a little apprehensive as to their future; perhaps slightly frightened about it all. Let's cheer up our new members; make them understand all the good points of this school and the val- uable things one can learn. With- out this friendly understanding new members are likely to get off on the wrong foot; and no one wants this to happen. Discussion Leader Talks to Classroom Instructors When men know the truth about things they will act intelli- gently. That was one of the many good points stressed by H. N. Clarke, discussion leader, in his speech at 3 p. m. Sept. 23. After being introduced, Mr. Clarke pointed out to some 35 in- structors, the need for all execu- tives to get together. Unless this is done one can never get a man to stop causing trouble, he added. Born and residing in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Clarke rates as one of the most competent discussion lead- ers in the country. His personal- ity compels confidence and self- poise. His experience in leading conference groups as a counselor on business and industrial morals extends over a period of 30 years. Mr. Clarke endeavors to hear all sides of an argument and gives his opinions accordingly. After work- ing in a factory as an apprentice for many years, he became inter- ested in the people and the things about them. In many instances he has quelled disputes of labor by bringing both sides together and then weeding out the difficulties. Detroit is much better off than most newspapers declare, in an in- dustrial standpoint of view, de- clared Mr. Clarke. In addition he stated that the next 25 years will show a very marked change in in- dustry and business. The speech lasted nearly an hour and it was filled with enthusiasm, determination, and humor. Indians Live on Home-Made Islands An ancient band of Indians lives on self-made islands, known as the Floating Gardens of Mexico City. As they could not settle among unfriendly natives, they made their homes on a neighboring is- land. Due to their rapid expansion in population, they built the Float- ing Islands. These islands were made of sticks and vines plaited into a raft and interlaced with twigs. Covered with a layer of earth, their floating home soon became colorful with flowers and trees. As the trees grew, their roots anchored in the bottom of the lake making the islands stationary. Visitors enjoy the many striking silhouettes made by the trees of the islands, outlined against the sky. Flowers that grow on the is- lands are sold to inland visitors by Mexican girls. Binding The Craftsman Robert Johnson, left, and Will- iam Walsh, right, bound 60, Vol. 3, issues of The Craftsman this last summer. Most of The Craftsman were bound for Ford Motor Co. and Henry Ford Trade School officals. There are 20 left for sale in the bookstore. In addition to binding The Craftsman, it is estimated by their supervisor in this work, J. J. Onderko, that they have bound approximately 300 books in the last six months. Which Weighs More? Some have asked the question: Does a pound of feathers weigh more than a pound of gold? It is a very old catch question. It is custcanary to weigh gold by the troy pound, which is 12 ounces or 5760 grams; while feathers are weighed by the avoirdupois pound, which is 16 ounces or 7000 grams. The difference is 1240 grams and therefore the feathers are heavier, but there is still another catch. A kilogram of gold and a kilo- gram of feathers would represent the same weight, namely 2.2 pounds avoirdupois, and as there is a difference between weight and mass the two substances are different in weight. If both are weighed in air the gold would displace about l l6,000 of its weight of air, and be buoyed up that much. The feath- ers would displace ten times as much as air, about l 20 of 1 more of feathers to balance the gold. So weighed in a vacuum the feath- ers would be heavier.--The Pilot A prominent local citizen who has amassed a fortune of $100,000 was asked how he did it. I was able to accumulate $100, 000, he said, by constant applic- ation, by unceasing work and study, by being honest, by laboring early and late, by living moderately and cleanly, by saving every penny I could for 42 years, and by the death of an uncle who finally passed away and left me $99,999. 95.
