THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Seniors Assemble Chassis for ©39 Worlds' Fairs raiDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1938 No Fishing Equipment No Lunch— Oh, Well Corrigan didn't have much equip- ment. D. J. Morrisey, economics instructor, had none. Both got results. Saturday, Oct. 7, ten men, in- cluding five Trade School instruc- tors and two Apprentice School in- structors, left for a fishing trip on Anchor Bay. Arriving at 1:30 p. m., they im- mediately Began fishing. Mr. Mor- risey, having forgotten his tack- le, was at a total loss. However one of the other men loaned him a rod and after a few lessons from Harry Westbrook, wood pattern, he began his stroke of luck. He dropped his line and after a moment exclaimed, Wow! I've got a whopper. The whopper was the bot- tom of the boat. Undaunted by the failure of his first attempt, Mr. Morrisey tried again with success. Late in the afternoon the men had lunch. Again Mr. Morrisey was found lacking; he had no lunch. This handicap was overcame by mak- ing the rounds of the other men's lunches. While on the subject of eating— when the men had assembled on the dock for departure on the trip Mr. Morrisey was no where to be found. After a prolonged and seemingly fruitless search, he was found in a nearby eat shop engrossed in a couple of hamburgers. Form Correct Habits-, Learn the Use of Those and Them Good habits are valuable assets. Schools have always endeavored to teach good habits. Our boys are being trained to acquire skillful habits in the handling of tools. Their most important tool is the English language. It is used more than any other. The word those is used to point out. It 18 used before the names of persons or things. Them is always used alone. Examples: I saw them. Who gave them to you? Faulty: Give me them papers. Right: Give me those papers. Faulty: Where are them cars? Right: Where are those cars? Faulty: Let me see them scales. Right: Let me see those scales. Note that those is always used before names. These misused words should be eliminated. HABITS MAKE THE MR The gent in the insane asylum was fishing in the flowerbed. A passerby trying to be friendly said, How many have you caught? You're the tenth, was the as- tute reply. Preparatory to sending 40 V-8 cut-a-way chassis to the Ford Ro- tunda, New York World's Fair, San Francisco World's Fair, and almost every principal city in the United States, 20 Trade School Seniors are now completing the assembling work in the White House. The White House is on the sec- ond floor below the Mill Depart- ment. All cut-a-way work is done in the Trade School shop, while the assembling is done in the White House. The chassis consists of the motor, frame, rear axle as- Students Remembered (Continued from page l) tor, as the boy who spent a large portion of his time in the Trade School standing on his head in a wastepaper basket. Joe was put there by larger .classmates who were victims of his pranks. Gilbert Plotzke and Chris Mc- Allister, '24, are reminders of the past for Elmer Gorbett, trol- ley instructor. In breaking up a mix-up between the two boys, Mr. Gorbett suffered minor physical injuries to his nose. Russell Erdman, '29, is recalled by Keith Glassley, physics instruc- tor, as the boy who when caught smoking in the chemistry laborato- ry, tossed the butt into a blower. When it came to punishing him, there was no evidence to be found, so he was allowed to go free, thereby saving a great football player for the team. Other boys who indulged in mi 8- chieviou8 exploits were Fred Jones, '26, and William F. Mueller, '24, recalls R. E. Bell, civics instruc- tor. Along with many others, they would drop their badges out of the classroom windows to waiting pals below, who would thereby gain ad- mittance to the school after hav- sembly, and front axle assembly. Seven gallons of paint are used on each chassis. In addition, eight gallons of Pyrox Thinner are used for cleaning purposes and for thinning paint, according to Elmer Stime, painter foreman. Care must be taken when assemb- ling because if a pert is chipped or scratched it must be repainted. Each year the previous model is returned and taken apart. The parts which can be used again for the new models are repainted or chrome plated and the new parts are added. 'T'idblts Erb Lawler and Frank Sullivan, former members of The Craftsman staff, have left the Trade School to finish their high school work. Joe Tempalskl, senior, Trade School drafting room, has a real permanent wave. William Ostenfeld, lathe instruc- tor, has been transferred to the Training School in the Foundry Building. Ernest Bayliss has taken his place. ing forgotten their own badges. Where is Clarence Faner? That question was often asked after rec- reation periods in 1926, said 0. R. Scott, chemistry instructor. Clarence, a small boy, was often found in the toilets hanging on the wall by his belt, unable to get down. The big boys put him there so he would be out of the way. Eddie and Joe Luttenberger , '28, the twins, are remembered by L. A. Spalding, wood pattern instructor, as the boys who looked so much a- like that instructors were never sure to which one they were speak- ing.

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.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1935 Sixteen Teams Form Intramural League Approximately 140 boys are par- ticipating in the Senior Intramu- ral Basketball League which Is now in full swing at Miller School. The league consists of six teams from the T-sect ion and five from the M and W-sect ions. Each team has from eight to ten players. The A and B-class teams use players from their own classes while the C-classes are permitted to take one player from below the D-clas8. The D-class is permitted to use any number of players from below their own class. The teams of each section play each other once. Every team with a percentage of .500 or better will enter a two-game knockout for the school championship. The name8 of the M-section teams are Hep-Cats, captained by Leo Zablocki; Ramblers, Keith Miller; Pick-ups, Leroy Olds; Maroons, Jack Gemmell; and Sees, Francis De Grande. The teams represented by the T- section are Ford Jinks, captained by A1 Eckers; Mohawks, Fred Rietz; Wolverines, Bob Jenkins; Shamrocks, Rudy Blaret; Rangers, Wesley Coun- cell; and Wildcats, Bud Cushing. The W-section offers the Swing- sters, captained by Leonard Taylor; Jitterbugs, Jack Beaver; Lions, Morse McGuire; and the Bulldogs, Carl Beier. 62 Report for Varsity With a record turnout of 62 boys, the first official varsity basket- ball practice of the season was held on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at Miller School. After a light workout, Coach V. F.. Richards called the boys to- gether for a short talk. He told them that four years ago when bas- ketball was first organized in the school, he didn't have enough boys to start a scrimmage game, but now there are more boys than can be handled with the present set-up. He went on to explain that bas- ketball creates a great friendship among the boys, and helps them come in closer contact with each other outside of school hours. Coach Richards warned the boys about keeping in the peak of con- dition, by eating wholesome foods and by getting plenty of sleep. There will be three Craftsman basketball teams, the varsity team, consisting of the 12 best players, a reserve team with 18 players, and a midget team composed of E, F and G-class boys which will be coached by L. H. Bartholomew. W Section Boasts Ten Titles in Class League Since the Intramural League was started in the Trade School in 1935, there has been an argument as to which section is the strong- est in sports activities. Records show that the M-section started by taking the Junior and senior championship in baseball, but the W-sect ion came back and won the Junior and senior titles in basketball and have been on top ever s-ince. The T-8ection won its first and only championship by taking the Junior title in the 1938 baseball season. The W-section is on top with ten titles, which includes the Bee Ball tournament, while the M-sec- tion is second with five champion- ships and the T-section last with only one title. Announcing The Craftsman varsity basketball team will open its schedule by playing the alumni at Miller School, Michigan Avenue at Lois Street, Dec. 2. Bass and baritone horn players are wanted to play in the Trade School Military Band. See Isaia Petovello in the bookstore. The Alumni Club will hold a meeting at 1 p. m. tomorrow, at the Downtown Y. M. C. A. Clerk will give rocm number. All students and alumni inter- ested in organizing a hockey team this winter are requested to place their names and numbers in The Craftsman Drop Box or give them to George Brown, M-A-l, or Leonard Kaper, senior, of third floor mill department. Plant Water Supply (Continued, frcnx page l) passes under streets, main high- ways, street car and railroad tracks, bridges, sewers, a creek, and a cemetery before it ends at a pump house near Power House No. 1. Filtered water for drinking pur- poses is used at the rate of 3 to 5 million gallons daily. This wa- ter comes from Lake St. Clair at the head of Belle Isle and is con- veyed from its source to the Spring Wells Station Filtration Plant by an 18-foot raw-water tun- nel that has been tunneled through solid rock 200 feet beneath the City of Detroit. Detroit then sells the water to the City of Dearborn and Ford Motor Company obtains its drinking water from this source. Regularly water is taken from drinking foun- tains and tested for harmful bac- teria. Lower Class Students Vie for Yo-Yo Honors Five W-section and five M-sec. tion contestants from the G anc F-cla8ses waited nervously for their turn to do their tricks at the Yo-Yo contests held at 3 p. Oct. 12 for the W-section and at 3 p. m. Oct. 18 for the M-section. Nelson Robertson, winner of the W-section, and Harry Hogg, winner of the M-section, received Yo-Yos as prizes. Joseph Kwiecinski and Roger Chapman, runners-up, re- ceived candy as prizes. These four will battle the win- ner and runner-up of the T-section for the school championship to be played at same later date. The school champion will receive a baseball as first prize. The contestants for the W-sec- tion were Nelson Robertson, G-l, Donald Couty and Edmond Therrien, G-2, Joseph Kwiecinski and Raymond Holman, F-3. The contestants for the M-section were George Roughlej and Ralph Shank, G-2, Harry Hogg and Roger Chapman, F-l, and Sac Tabbi, F-3. The Judges of the contest were G. W.
