Stoeltlng Yol. 4, Mo. 3 Friday, Oct. 21, 1936 Hats Off to the Alumni The Alunmi of Henry Ford Trade School, approximately 1200 or over, will reunite tomorrow night at a 8tag party. For the first time in many years the old timers will see one another and revive the old days in conversation. Graduates of the '18 class up to the '37 class will be there to clasp hands with former classmates whom they haven't seen since the day of grad- uation. Each man will proudly tell his experiences and, no doubt, refer to the Trade School as the first step up the ladder of success. In reality this is true, for, in suc- cessfully passing their years in the Trade School, they had many op- portunities. From these opportu- nities they determined their goals, and, bubbling with young enthusi- asm, fought toward them. They worked doggedly on against life's hardships. A few probably faltered and fell while others threw back their shoulders and worked with a will. Whether they have reached their goal or are striving towards it, Henry Ford Trade School is proud of every one. Hats off to the alumni, success to them, and may their shoulders broaden with re- sponsibility. With Our Apologies Corrections for last issue. N-711-E won the Apprentice School Baseball League Champion- ship and not N-711-1). Department D did not play in this league. At the new Carburetor Plant in Milford Peter Martin is in charge of all machine work, and not Nor- man Ellis. Mr. Ellis is in charge of all assembly work. THE CRAFTSMAN Meet a Visitor Few members of Henry Ford Trade School have a chance to meet the many visitors, an average of 200 a month, who come from all over the world. Recently W. G. Jerrems III, per- sonnel director, from the Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc., of Santa Monica, California, spent an after- noon in the school. Adding to the many good words for the school that he gave while here, he sent a personal letter of praise to the school last week. Following is a part of the let- ter; I think without a doubt that it was a revelation in itself to watch seme of your boys work. I feel that the manner in which these boys were attending to their work and the serious expressions I saw on their faces were nothing short of marvelous and that it was undoubtedly due to the exceptional spirit that you are instilling in them. I hope that in same way we may pattern our scholastic efforts after yours. Morning Classes Cut to 45 Minutes on Thursday Acting on the suggestion made by L. J. Croteau, auto mechanics in- structor, the school office has shortened the first two one-hour classes to 45 minutes each Thurs- day. This new procedure takes 15 min- utes from each of two classes for singing instead of half an hour from one class. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1938 Ales' S. D. Mull ikin's Uncle Jim waa taking a load of hay to town one summer afternoon when out-of-a blue-sky a dark cloud came rolling and rumbling. (Mr. Mullikin is an Apprentice School math instructor.) Uncle Jim whipped-up to the Robin- son's farm house. The Robinsons, go88iper8 had it, were the dirti- est family in that county, but beggars can't be choosers so he accepted a night's lodging. Frcm the appearance of the table he was afraid that the food would not agree with his stomach, so he decided to go hungry. He settled in bed when suddenly hundreds of bed bugs went to town' and Uncle Jim wished he, too, had gone to town. About five minutes later the most profane and obscene language Uncle Jim had heard came from the direction of old man Robinson's room, and he guessed the bed bugs had started on him, too. Old man Robinson went to the kitchen and made enough noise to awaken the dead and then he was heard to say, Now you $ ? come and get me. Uncle Jim didn't sleep well that night and early the next morning, eager to get on his way, went to thank Mr. Robinson for his very enjoyable stay. When he stepped into the kitchen his eyes nearly popped out, for stretched out on the floor, snoring to his adenoids content, lay old man Robinson sur- rounded by a ring of molasses.

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.
