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.

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.

Completing 18 days' enrollment in the Trade School, Karlheinrich Buetler, university student, de- parted for his home in Berlin, Ger- many, Oct. 24, bringing to an end his year and a half stay in the United States. Karl was selected by a group of college professors to tour the United States and study architec- tural drawing at Cranbrook, near Birmingham. After touring the country, and finishing his drawing course, he enrolled in the Trade School where he worked in the carburetor and bricklaying departments. He also worked in distributor and motor issembly to gain that experience. From Detroit, Karl went to Que- bec. There, His plans are to ob- tain a Job on some kind of vessel sailing to Germany. He hopes to gain a more thorough experience in this way. 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. Memberships Contributions made by instruc- tors of the Trade School recently will provide 35 boys, some of whom will be from the Trade School, with one year's membership in the Y. M. C. A.

FHIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1938 Alumni Reunion Is Largest Ever Held The largest alumni reunion ever staged by the Henry Ford Trade School was held Oct. 22. when the Elkanah Brill '17; Walter Fink '16 Supt. F. E. Searle (right) twenty-second anniversary of the school was celebrated by more than a thousand persons at an informal stag party in the Light Guard Ar- mory, Brush and Larned Streets. Two former faculty men, F. W. Edward8 and Colin C. Crawford, as- sisted Supt. F. E. Searle in plan- ning the party. G. A. Yerex, per- sonnel director, supervised the sale of tickets. The aim of the committee was to bring together as many of the ear- lier students as possible. Walter Fink and Robert Collins, two of the original students, enrolled Oct. 25, 1916, were present. All classes were represented. During the entire party alumni gathered in informal groups ex- A 1930-class ring, initialed R. B., was found at the stag party. Owner may get same from B. C. Brewen, Room 15. claiming, Well, look who's here. .. How've you been ... Haven't seen you since our last day in class ... What's your address? I want to ccme and see your family. On and on this went—hand shaking and well-wishing seemed to be end- less . Petty differences that may have existed went by the board. The de- sire to see old friends had been welled-up so long that Joy liter- ally bubbled over is a summary one alumnus gave of the party. Twice the audience arose from the banquet table--once to express appreciation to Henry Ford, found- er of the school, and again when Mr. Searle was called on to say a few words. The Little Ford German Band, school alumni, provided jnusi cal' entertainment. THE CRAFTSMAN D-Classes Hear Talks on Radium and Its Uses Thousands of alpha rays which seemed like vivid sparks, were seen under magnifying glasses, in total darkness in the auditorium, while R. D. Weaver, chemistry in- structor, proceeded to give his lecture on radium to all the D- clas8es during the week they were in class. Theoretically radium will lose only half of its fiery energy in 1680 years, explained Mr. Weaver. He also explained that radium is used for the treatment of unde- .sired growths of the body in vari- ous hospitals and in watch facto- ries for watch dials. Visit Revives Memories of Former Instructor Memories of his early days in Henry Ford Trade School were re- born again for a former instructor when he returned for a short visit on Tuesday, Oct. 25. Joseph M. King came to the Trade School in 1927, from Ford Motor Co., to become head of the Engi- neering Laboratory on the third floor. While in the Trade School, he invented a device to burn oil in carburetors. This device was very successful in Ford trucks and tractors but is now obsolete. One of the first airplanes in Detroit, was owned by William Scripps, owner of the Detroit News. Mr. King invented a 'fluid tractor' that would pump gases out of the cylinders to help the pistons pump faster. This was first tried on Mr. Scripps' plane in 1912. Mr. King was a passenger on this flight, and described it as breath-taking adventure while speeding through the air at 60 miles an hour. Mr. King was also foreign corres- pondent for the New York Journel during the World War THE OBSERVER A bouquet of roses, nay, gar- denias to the Instructors quartet for their recent improvement. Many members of the faculty re- ceived a scare from the radio broadcast of an H. G. Wells story on Sunday, Oct. 30. Classroom eavesdropping: He is a swell guy, but a hard marker. We notice that C. W. Westerman, cafeteria instructor, twirls his Yo-Yo each afternoon in the cafe- teria. Maybe he intends to enter a contest sometime? Trade School mysteries: Where do all the checks go when they disap- pear from the cribs??? PAGE THREE Hikers Visit Riverside and Cass Benton Park Defying all fears of supersti- tion, 13 ambitious hikers proved last Saturday morning that this supposedly unlucky number could not mar their plans of an enjoya- ble hike. Under the direction of 0. R. Rothbone. bookstore, the boys drove to Cass Benton Park. From this spot they hoofed it to North- ville where food supplies were pur- chased . Outside of Northville Earl Shut- tleworth and Doyle Dodd came upon a deserted hornets' nest which is now on display in the library. It was decided by the hikers that they would try to bring back something of interest from every trip. After eating lunch at Cass Ben- ton Park, the hikers started out for Nankin Mills, a distance of 12 miles. After hiking nine miles all but three members of the group got into the cars and rode the rest of the distance. On Saturday, Oct. 22, the hikers, under the leadership of Ted Bona- ventura, machine construction in- structor. hiked near Walled Lake. Each week the number of hikers has increased, but there is still roan for a few more boys. If you are interested in Joining attend the next meeting. Sunday, Nov. 6, if the weather is favorable, the hikers plan to visit a farm near Romeo. Good English as Necessary as Good Shop Practice Many Trade School boys do not know how to give a definition. They say: A tool holder is where the tool goes. Cyaniding is when a metal is hardened in a cyanide bath. These statements are wrong. A tool holder is not a where, and cyaniding is not a when. The boy who is satisfied with these definitions is not a clear, accurate, and effective thinker. Thus theabove definitions should be worded: A tool holder is a device used for holding cutting tools in contact with work being ma- chined. Cyaniding is a process where- by the surface of a piece of steel is hardened by means of a cyanide bath. You will be doing yourself and others a real service if you form the habit of giving definitions exactly, clearly, and completely. Drawing is speaking to the eye; talking is painting to the ear.
