PAGE 4 THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1938 Boys1 Bowling League in Active Competition The Studente’ Bowling League which got under way Sept. 17, is now in full swing at the Argyle Recreation Building, Plymouth at Northlawn. The league consists of twelve five-man teams, with Bernard Golem- beski, Charles Rayfield, Roy Smith, Archie Coffman, William Strejan, Glen Breil, Raymond Fretz, Elmer Benzing, Donald Keil, Frank Dimi- tri, George Manoli, and Edward Milhem as captains. The students will howl every Sat- urday morning at 9:30 for the next 30 weeks. Although most of the hoys attend regularly, a squad of reserves is always on hand, ready to substi- tute for absent boys. The teams play each other with an 80 per cent handicap, by which teams with low averages will be benefited. Alumni to Head Plant (Continued from page l) mer Trade School paper? Harry came to the school in 1918 when he was 14 year8 old. From the very first it seemed he had caught the spark of ambition, because he receiv- ed good marks in all his subjects. In 1922 he was graduated and his merits being rec- ognized, he was made instructor in the shop. However Harry was not satisfied to get stuck on one machine. He insisted on being moved from one department to another, and in that way became verv adept at all branches of tool- makina. Not satisfied with his duties in the shop, Mr. Bark- ley took a four year night school course, at Univer- sity of Detroit, consisting of busi- ness and factory management. H e was graduated with honors. The ar- ticle was published Dec. 10, 1926. Donald Backoff, a graduate of Eastern High School, entered the Trade School in 1930 as a senior. Mr. Backoff worked for Mr. Cece five years ago. Other Trade School graduates who will work at the new plant are: Tennis Team is Undefeated By defeating the Mackenzie High School tennis team, 2 to 1, in a match played at Littlefield Play- ground, Sept. 27, and the Cooley net squad, 3 to 0, in a fray play- ed on the same courts, Oct. 3, the Ford Trade racqueteers now have three wins to their credit. In the Mackenzie tilt John Shing- leton and Ed Piotrowski easily won their match in two straight sets by 6-2, 6-4; while John Fusoiu and A1 Haining lost their first set, 1-6, but emerged victorious by taking the next two sets 6-3, and 11-9. James Gunn and Ed Riske were de- feated. The Cooley tilt was swept clean with Fusoiu and Haining again ccan- ing from behind to win 4-6, 6-2, and 6-4. Piotrowski and Shingle- ton also took their second match 6-3, 4-6, and 6-3. Frank Leach and Bud Cushing pair- ed to win the final match 3-6, 6-3, and 6-4. The Cooley fray was the first shut out victory for the Trade School netters. N-7H-DTeam Wins Jackets Ford Apprentice School students in department N-711-D received, last week, sport Jackets adorned with championship emblems for win- ning the 1938 Apprentice School Baseball League championship. Funds to pay for the Jackets oame from the entrance fee that each player paid at the opening of the season. N-711-A, last year'8 champions, played against N-711-D in the final game. The final score was 9 to 1. Eight apprentice teams played in this league. Ten of the 15 players are T. S. graduates. J. H. Heilner, appren- tice foreman, coached the winning team. Notice All seniors and A, B, C, and D class boy8 wishing to try out for Craftsman basketball report to Coach V. F. Richards at 4 p. m0, Octo 12, at Miller School. A piano player is wanted to play for the Glee Club and for the Thursday services. Room 5. Norman Ellis, who will be in charge of all machine work; Arnold Haner, Fred Winstanley, Charles Lark, Emerson Grieves and Joseph Ray. All will have foreman’s Jobs. New Machinery, air-conditioning equipment, and shower baths help to make the new Carburetor Plant one of the most modern plants in the world. Mullane Bottles Champs for AAU in Buenos Aires Francis Mullane, '37 graduate of Henry Ford Trade School, left De- troit Sept. 21, on a two months trip to Buenos Aires, South Amer- ica, where he will fight for the Na- tional AAU. Francis substit- uted for Bill Eddy, National Senior featherw eight champ. H e will meet the champions of Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile. Mullane has fought in the De- troit Free Press Golden Gloves, the Catholic Youth Organization, the Industrial, and the Detroit Times Diamond Belt. Last summer at the Gesu A. C. show, a trophy was presented him by Gene Tunney, former heavyweight champ. Francis was also given a trophy for being the best sport in the C. Y. 0. finals this year. He reached the finals only to lose to Tony Ancona. BLeauty Bedecks Home (Continued from page 3) the solid landscape on the east, and, as its owner approached, a myriad of frogs grunted their wel- come and sprang from the sunny bank into the fresh water. Not many paces from here Mr. Searle halted to stroke his favorite plant, the meira Juniper, a prick- ly evergreen about two feet high. Bordering along the highway and at a lower level, a marsh, densely populated with cat tails, com- pletes the picturesque landscape. Here it was that Mr. Searle says he heard only a few days before, muffled croak of the booming bit- tern. This creature is a heavy, goose-like bird with a long neck, which, when it calls, reverses the operation of an ostrich while swallowing an apple, and the re- sult is a gargled frog-like grum- ble. Mr. Searle retraced his steps, then, to the house and stood at the door surveying the whole pic- ture with a satisfaction personi- fied only in the air which he breathed—free and unfettered--an atmosphere which urban environment could not impart--never. Movies to be shown this month in the auditorium from Oct. 4 to 26 are Boulder Dam, Indian Villages of Antiquity, and In the Wake of Buccaneers. Cece Ramey Mullane

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Dead Motors Reanimated by Boy Electricians Salutations to the unsung watch- men of the Trade School, to the alert guards who keep the hearts (13 Electrical Maintenance Toole Model T's 30th Birthday Today Thirty years ago today the first Model T or Universal, Ford auto- mobile was built. There were five different makes of the Model T: the touring car, •elling for $850; town car, $1000; roadster, $825; the coupe and landaulet, $950. These cars sold so fast that dur- ing the first year of production, 10,607 T's were sold, breaking all sales records. In the next five years, half a million more were sold. From 1908 to 1927, when the Model A went into production, 15, 000,000 Model T's were built. 36-inch Yachts Planned Thirty-six-inch model yachts will be built this term in the wood pattern shop by the Yacht Club, under the supervision of Rob- ert Dale, drawing instructor. The 12 boys who comprise the club meet each Monday and Friday from 4 to 6 p. m. Last semester, commented Mr. Dale, Robert Gibson and James Ferega did splendid work. James had his yacht displayed in the library. throbbing in every electric ma- chine in the school — the electri- cal maintenance department, under the leadership of Guy D. Custer. The boys who work in the elec- trical maintenance department learned the fundamentals of electricity while working in the electrical department under H. T. Alexander. In their obscure department, the electrical maintenance boys are always ready for a distress j call from an instructor saying ! that a motor is dead or that it ! has some other common ailment. Selecting their standard j equipment--two screw drivers, a j pair of diagonals, a test coil, fuses, and fuse pliers, and any other supplies that they might need — the young electricians hasten to the troubled machine. If the ailing machine has, a voltage of more them 220, the boy sends for Mr. Custer, whose experience lessens the danger of injury from the high voltage. Any motor that cannot be re- paired while on the machine is taken to the Trade School elec- trical department if it is less them one horse power. Motors which are greater than one horse power are repaired in the Foundry Building electrical de- partment . Besides attending to these fre- quent ailments, the boys have rou- tine assignments such as oiling D. C. and greasing of A.C. motors. Poor English Hampers Trade School Alumnus Poor English is a handicap. Many Trade School boys are aware of this; others are not. FYank Kern, a senior at Univer- sity of Michigan college of engi- neering and Trade School alumnus, was asked during a recent visit here, Did you find that the scar- city of social opportunities of- fered you while in the Trade School handicapped you? The only significant handicap I noticed was my English, replied Frank. He realized he was in a more highly educated group. He knew he was speaking incorrectly and he would have to correct himself or be ostracized from the group whose company he desired. He wished he had given more time to English and its use while in the Trade School. By hard work Frank overcame his handicap. Explanations of correct usage will appear in following issues. Nature's Rural Beauty Bedecks Hillside Home By Marvin Martin Picture a carpet of verdure un- rolled down a gentle hillside slope. Add to this the sway of evergreens, rich floral wealth, and red-ripe apples hanging from overladen limbs. Again, picture a man working cheerfully amid this 8ummerbloom, far distant from the sooty touch of urban arts. The re- sulting composite is a portrait, though incomplete, of Supt. F. E. Searle and his life outside the re- straints of city life. Plant life fascinates him. He identifies each flower by its par- ticular habit of beauty. From South Africa, California, Wyoming, and Massachusetts he has collec- tions that thrive in this climate; from every state east of the Miss- issippi he has rocks. Characteristic of that instinct within him that reaches and towers .. .and climbs to a soul in grass and flowers' is Mr. Searle's rural home near Farmington, Mich. Re- posed pleasantly atop a graceful little hill, the up-to-date, home- like structure commands a choice range of orchard and woodland spread unfenced o'er the hills. Fovorlt® View to North To the north is Mr. Searle's fa- vorite view. Looking in this di- rection frcm the rear of the house, the eyes dip into a wooded valley through which winds a white road that soon is lost as the view steeps up between two foliage- crowned hills. A visit to this abode of rugged nature on the morn of Saturday, Oct. 1, 21 years to the day since Mr. Searle came to Henry Ford Trade School, found the place glow- ing with a hospitality, as warm as the heart of its owner. The spar- kle in his eyes as he spoke ten- derly of Nature's visible forms, seemed to claim a fellowship with the kindred heart of the life that throbbed about him. The wanning sun had begun to pry open the purple morning glories as Mr. Searle wandered down the in- cline on which they grew. A lit- tle farther down a variety of dahl- ias danced in the breeze. Here and there about the land- scape were sited stones of varied sizes and shapes which Mr. Searle had placed to advantage. One of these, a particularly large one, was hollowed in the center to with- in one inch from the bottom. This might have been used, it was sug- gested, as a grind mill by the Indians. A pond of water lilies broke up (Continued on page 4)

umni Dance 7-f I miu draftsman Alumni Party Tomorrow Nite HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL, DEARBORN, MICHIGAN OCTOBER 21, 1938 VOL. 4, NO. 3 Student Marksmen Bring Home 'Bacon' The belching of guns and the yap- ping of dogs welcomed the opening day of the hunting season last Sat- urday for several Trade School stu- dents. William Porombovics, W-A-l, was fortunate enough to get one pheas- ant near Carsonville. Howard Kevelighan, T-C-l, went to Rochester and got one pheasant after missing several. Near Adrian were the hunting grounds of Bruno Zava, T-B-l, who came home with a rabbit and one pheasant. Four birds and two rabbits were bagged by Lawrence Wichman, Harry Dzienis, and Ernest Schlucter, seniors, who went to Lexington. Two pheasants and one rabbit were bagged by Ed. Schulz, senior, who went to Plymouth. Paul Aleman tried his marksman- ship Just outside the city limits and got two birds. Forgetting to bring the saltshak- ers from home to sprinkle salt on the tails of the birds, William Coleman, T-B-l, George Ziehr, T-A- 1, and Max Kleiber, senior, came home empty handed. There were no casualities re- ported . Police Chief Suggests Cure-all for Criminals Criminals can be cured by reli- gion and no other way, was the theme of the talk given by Dan Patch, Chief of Highland Park Police, at the second anniversary of the Morning Services on Oct. 12. In 1937 the population of pris- on and penal institutions in the United States increased by 883. This enormous increase, said Mr. Patch, can be curtailed only by wide spread following of the teach- ings of Jesus Christ. According to Mr. Patch, the prac- tically innocent first offender goes to prison and emerges with his brain saturated with the ways of crime which he gathers from the older, more experienced prisoners. The main trouble, Mr. Patch vehemently emphasized, is that the youth of today is out for a good time and frequently resorts to crime in an effort to obtain it. There is no honor, he re- monstrated, in being a John Dill- inger or in being captured by po- lice and spread across newspaper headlines. World War Veteran Lost Coveted Service Medal Lost: World War Service Medal on third floor last Monday. To W. H. Stevens, painter, this prized medal is a reminder of his experiences in the World War- - sweeping the Atlantic Ocean for mines. This medal, about the size of a silver dollar, contains his name, war date, and the letters R. N. R. A reward is ready for the one who turns this medal in at Room 1. New Club Takes First Outing on Grosse lie Grosso lie was the site for the first trip of the newly formed hiking club of the Trade School on Saturday, Oct. 15. Seven persons turned out for the first hike. They were Ted Bona- ventura, leader; Gerald Bruce, Karl Weiss, John Nemeth, Marvin Kaplan, William McDonald, and Aldo Patria, alumnus Meeting at Mackenzie High School at 9 o'clock, they motored to the island where the cars were parked and the hike began. The Naval Re- serve Airbase, Seaplane Base, and the Wonder Well were visited. Roasted wieners and sandwiches followed by hot tea were partaken of with great relish during lunch. Arrangements have been made by Mr. Bonaventura to visit William Blakesley’s 80-acre farm near Or- chard Lake tomorrow. The hikers will meet at Mackenzie High at 8 a. m. 0. L. Rothbone, bookstore, is planning a surprise hike for Sat- urday, Oct. 29. Groups will be led by D. J. Morrisey, oivics, on Nov. 12, and 0. J. Pohl, commer- cial tool, also in Nov. Plant Uses More Water Than Four Large Cities Annually the water consumption of Ford Motor Company's Rouge Plant is more than 164 billion gal Ions. This is more than that used by Detroit, Washington D. C., Co- lumbus, and Toledo combined. Most of the water used is mill water. Every day 454,320,000 gal- lons are taken from Rouge River, near Zug Island, about 2 3 of a mile from the Detroit River. The water is brought to Rouge Plant through a tunnel 15 feet in diameter and approximately 2 miles long. The tunnel, 60 feet below the surface of the ground, (Continued on page 4) Faculty Recalls Key Boys on Party Eve Delving into the past in antic- ipation of the coming twenty-sec- ond anniversary party, tomorrow night at Light Guard Armory, veter- an instructors brought forth dim memories of the Trade School and some of its colorful characters. One boy I'll never forget is Wee Willy Teeple, '22. He was so small he could not eat enough food for breakfeast to last him until lunch time. A special lunch peri- od in the middle of the morning was provided for him, reminisced Ira McKay, grinder instructor. Joe (Scrubber Neck) Srebsrnak, '25, will long live in the memory of C. G. Rogers, English instruc- (Continued on page 3) Calculus again Offered by Apprentice School To accomodate 25 apprentice stu- dents in engineering, a course in calculus, starting Wednesday, Nov. 7, will be taught by W. F. Mueller, Apprentice School instructor. Calculus is the highest branch of mathematics and deals with mi- nute parts. It is the only means of solution (analytically speaking) of many practical problems. Due to a limited number of stu- dents wishing to take this course, it is taught only every three years. This course completes more than eight years of study and work. It is the last course that is needed to complete the curriculum in the Mechanical Engineering Course. Moving Picture Schedule Complete for School Year The moving pictures that are to be shown in the school auditorium during this school year have now been scheduled according to L. J. Croteau and V. F. Richards, super- visors. All classes except the G and A see movies every Wednesday while in class. The pictures are selected to show the source and manufacture of the raw products used in industry. The pictures are: Men and Steel, Petroleum, Spark Plugs, Safety Glass, Lead Mining, Manufacturing Abrasives, Wonder Chemistry, Health Films, Wool, Romance of the Reaper, Trees and Man, Boulder Dam, and Exploring the Coffee Continent. Other films of various subjects are used for fill-ins.
