Craftsman Exchanges With 38 Other Schools The Craftsman publication has established school paper exchanges with 38 different high schools throughout the United States. While most of these papers come from Metropolitan Detroit, five come from out of the state. They are The Carrickulum from Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania; The Piedmont Highland of Piedmont, California; The Stivers News from Dayton, Ohio; The Central High Scout of Muskogee, Oklahoma; and The Craftsman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The purpose of these exchanges is to find out what other schools are doing and to get ideas for pro- ducing a better school paper. Automatic Machine Rebuilt for Golden Gate Fair Automatic Gaging and Sorting Machine Built by Henry Ford Trade School | 52 Boys Lose $104 in Oct. | This school is constantly remind- ing and urging boys to turn in bank books on or before the 12th of each month in order to receive thrift fund for the following month and to avoid the loss of scholarship during vacations. Nevertheless, because of negli- gence. 52 boys lost a total of $104 for October. Raymond Speagle, clerk, said this is twice the usu- al amount for thrift fund loss.

Students, Instructors Built Machine in 1933 Developed and built by students and instructors of Henry Ford Trade School in 1933, the auto- matic gaging and sorting machine for valve-seat in- serts has again been re- conditioned by the school and shipped, to continue its ping ponging thru the country. The machine was first displayed at the Chicago World's Fair in 1934 and then at the San Diego Ex- position in California in 1335. Following a brief stay at home to be recondi- tioned and shown at the Detroit and Michigan Little (Continued on page 4) Instructors Contribute Y. M.C.A.

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.

Stoeltlng Vol. 4, No. 4 Friday, Nov. 4, 1958 School Spirit Probably there has never been a Trade School gathering where there was as much good feeling and warm cordiality expressed as was at the Alumni party two weeks ago. Handshaking and well-wishing seemed to be endless. Petty dif- ferences went by the board. The desire to see old friends had been welled-up so long that Joy literal- ly bubbled over. That a genuine school spirit among the alumni exists is obvious. This spirit expresses a true appre- ciation for Henry Ford Trade School and for the many opportuni- ties it has afforded. Consider the Next Reader As an aid to students and in- structors, all books in the libra- ry are classified. On the fiction shelf, books are arranged alphabet- ically according to the last name of the author. At present, how- ever, when one desires a fiction book, he finds that they are all mixed up. What has probably happened is that a person, after looking a book over, decides not to check it out—perhaps it is getting late, or one of his friends calls to him; without noting the name of the author he shoves the book back in- to the first shelf handy, not real- izing the trouble he is causing. Consequently, when someone looks for the book, it isn't where it should be. This causes inconven- ience and loss of time. It really would take but a min- ute or two to slip the book back into its proper place. Note the students who are will- ing to cooperate; they will do this. Maybe You Knew That in the transportation and shipping line-up Ford Motor Co. is not exactly at the bottom of the list for it has over 100 miles of railroad, connecting furnaces and buildings which are spread over 1,096 acres. That, according to statistics, Ford Motor Co. has approximately 96j miles of conveying system and when the new buildings are com- pleted 126 miles of conveyors will be the new mark. All the convey- ors necessary for Ford Motor Co. and its branches are made in the Trade School Trolley Department. That the air hammer operators would Jump when they heard this one. The new boiler that is near- ing completion in the power house is the only one of its size in ex- istance to have an all welded pipe installation. That two boats were once made for Ford Motor Co. by two differ- ent companies, both being made un- der the same blueprints, yet when the boat8 were completed, one turned out 12 inches longer than the other. Here's a story, hearty lads, which may sound quite so dumb. But honest, boys, it's the truth about that sticky substance, gum. Now they say it aids digestion and that may be quite true, But gosh, there’s nothing more an- noying than a piece stuck to your shoe. It seems to always be put in ob- scure places That's why I wonder if gum-putting is contagious. It may not be, my gum chewing lads, but listen and you shall hear ye This sticky stuff pasted here and there is oh so full of bacteriae. Trade School Savings Plan Guarantees Per Cent Ford Motor Company Investment Plan is conducted much the same aa a bank. Employees having an ac- count with the Ford Investment are guaranteed at least 4 per cent in- terest. Banking transactions are carried on in the Motor Building near Gate 4. In 1930. the Trade School re- quested and was granted a similar investment plan known as Henry Ford Trade School Investment Plan. The request was made because the school wanted all students and instructors to have an opportunity to invest their money at the same high rate of interest as is paid to employees of Ford Motor Company. The rate of interest given is gov- e r n e d b y business conditions. While 4j per cent is guaranteed, 14 per cent has been paid. The inter- est 18 computed monthly and is paid semi-annually in January and July. The interest is put in the scholar- ship envelopes. Deposits may be made only on scholarship day or on either of the two days following, omitting Satur- days, Sundays, and Holidays. The Investment Plan will accept depos- its of not less than $1 and not more than 25 per cent of a scholar- ship. Students can make deposits only from their scholarship enve- lopes . In case of the death of the stu- dent investor, the investment goes to the parents or guardians of the student. Three students of the 140 who qualified for the October Honor Roll received all A's. The students are; Gerard Gau- thier, T-C-l; Donald Long, M-C-l; and Bowen Gover, M-E-l. Following are the names of 140 students who qualified for the Honor Roll by doing the type of work which entitled them to a two-cent Increase In scholarship If they have not already attained the maximum of forty-five cents.
