Lasku, Trade School graduate. Although a man in Cal- ifornia designed the boat; George made all his own patterns for the castings of the motor. He machined every part possible, mak- ing other parts by hand. The small one-inch bore, one and one-eighth inch stroke motor, which generates one-half h. p. at 9000 r. p. m., can move the trim craft at 40 miles an hour. With only a home work-shop lathe and a drill press to work with, George constructed the motor in approximately three weeks, but took only three days to hollow out the white pine hull. This is the first boat George has ever built. At present he is working on a car carburetor, trying to find a change that will increase mileage. Fair Boys Voice Praise for Opportunity Given In less than five months 10 of the 30 boys selected to represent Henry Ford Trade School at the World'8 Fair in New York, will pack their bags and be gone. According to E. Y. Peterson, shop superintendent, the boys were chosen because of their records and mechanical ability. He said, We want the boys to be able to answer any questions pertaining to their work and to the Trade School!1 When asked what he thought of the opportunity, Raymond White said, To be chosen to go to the World's Fair is a privilege.

A few months ago it returned to the school, having been with the Ford Exhibit in Paris during 1937. The machine is now at the Chi- cago Automobile Show. Following this showing it will be crated and sent to the Golden Gate Exposition in California. In eight hours the machine is capable of gaging and sorting 48, 000 inserts. The allowance is ±.0005 on the diameter and 1.001 on the thickness. If the pieces are within limits they go straight through a chute and drop up on a steel plate. Cracked inserts, not bouncing as high as the others, miss the con- tainer and are automatically dis- charged .

Stoeltlng Friday, Hov. 16, 1958 Students On Trial Many students ride home on the busses or street cars. If you do, you may have seen groups of hoys shouting at the high school boys and girls on their way home from school. Unknowingly, perhaps, stu- dents of any school are always on trial and unmannerly actions cast reflections on their character. It'8 Just harmless fun, these boy8 think. They really are more polite and considerate than they seem, but Just for fun they shout witty remarks and draw boisterous laughs from their companions. Many people think quite highly of Trade School students, and our standards must not be lowered. Prove yourself worthy of upholding the standards of Henry Ford Trade School. Soon you will have a chance to contribute to the Community Fund. This occasion is looked forward to by thousands of un- derprivileged families. When the drive is on, come to the rescue of the needy. Don't Wear Unearned Letters Unearned athletic letters are worn by many Trade School hoys. In order to earn a letter in the Trade School one must exceed at least ten other boys in a league composed of not less than ten teams. Students shouldn't wear unearned letters or stripes be- cause it beiittles the boys who worked hard to earn theirs. If these boys would earn their letters and stripes they could be proud of their achievement and en- courage others to earn letters in- stead of buying them. Hardening Dept. Boys Contact Most Tools Nearly every tool that is ma- chined in Henry Ford Trade School must pass through the Hardening Department. Oscar Peruzzi heating a drill in electric furnace. this department, under the super- vision of George Maconochie, is divided into five different sec- tions in which sixteen boys are working. In section one, the Heat Treat- ing Department, tools are hardened under the direction of William Krueger. To harden tools the open furnace or baths of nitrate and lead are used. Usually the student works first at the Lead Pot Furnace. Here he is taught to harden punches, dies, chisels, screw drivers, and similar tools. Cyaniding is then taught. Boys learn the various methods of cya- niding, the proper heats to use, and the methods of quenching the Daniel Vipond testing a reamer. different steels. The High Speed Steel operation furnaces are then experienced. They are used to harden reamers, end mills, milling cutters, counter bores, blades; shaper, lathe, and planer tools. The more advanced students work on the Carbon Steel Furnace. Jobs that are very intricate and have (Continued on page 3) FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1939 Mary Had Little Lamb, Rogers Has Little Hen Mary and her Little Lamb must either be rewritten—or else must giveway to the strategy of the mod- ern hen. Such is the verdict of C. G. Rogers, English Instructor. On the Monday morning of Nov. 7, Mr. Rogers spurted out his drive- way at the misty hour of 5:30 a. m., enroute to the Trade School. He executed the first few miles of this Journey with the accelerator on the floorboard, until he ac- costed a red light. Here it was that a driver-by attracted his attention to the peculiar species of hitch-hiker that attached itself to his school- ward Journey. Alighting from the car, Mr. Rogers beheld the sight which dwarf8 the tale of Mary and her Little Lamb! There, poised defiantly on the bumper, with her feathers ruffled by the chilly breeze, roosted a bespeckled biddy which Mr. Rogers recognized as one of his own barn yard hens. To return the vagabond fowl home would have made Mr. Rogers late for school. He had but one choice. He transferred the fowl's quarters to the trunk and they completed the Journey.
