FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1958 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Boys Heat-Treat Tools Carve Each Thought Before You Word It In the Trade School shop, preci- sion Is exercised to the utmost degree. We are not willing to say That's close enough ; we strive to say That's it. Be Just as precise in your use of English. Find the exact word. Do not be content with a loose meaning. Seek the verb, the noun, the adjec- tive, or the phrase which ex- presses your thought with preci- sion. Such words as said and nice are often used too loosely. For said (verb), declared, re- lated, insisted, exclaimed, added, replied, admitted, explained, stam- mered, etc. are good synonyms. For nice (adjective), discrimina- ting, fastidious, dainty, neat, pleasant, fragrant, delicious, moral, etc. are good synonyms. Substitute one of these words the next time you are afforded an opportunity and observe the possi- ble gain in effectiveness. School's Selection to Fair Praises Rare Opportunity (Continued from page 1) observe my work and surroundings more carefully. Thorough checking by instructors and Mr. Peterson, as we get transferred from each department, has brought the need for this observance in all types of shop work. Melvin Hall answered, It will be an honor and privilege to tell the public how Henry Ford Trade School is operated. I think it will also further my knowledge in my selected trade. The opportunity to go to New York has taught me to be more ob- serving and alert. I think that I am getting more out of the school and there is more to learn than I realized in the past, stated Maurice Baker. Fair students are advanced through various departments, ac- quainting them with as many differ- ent kinds of work as possible. Other students in the first group are Leo Champagne, Walter Grunst, James Hogan, Emerson Ward, John Nagel, and Carl Queck. Hen Visits Trade School (Continued frcm page 2) All day, the disconsolate hen kept company with screw drivers and wrenches in the dark trunk. When finally she was released up- on the return home, the would-be pupil, with that characteristic feminine toss of the head, clucked out a sonorous essay, which beyond doubt amounted to What I think of Henry Ford Trade School. sharp cutting edges must be heat treated in this furnace.

Besides hardening different met- als, boys are taught how to strain draw, anneal, preheat, and temper. After a Job is completed it is checked by Inspector Jacob S. Sip- pola. The Blacksmith Shop, is super- vised by Wallace Carmichael. When one enters this section he is taught how to care for and use dif- ferent tools. This being done he Is taught how to bend and forge screw drivers and chisels. Conditions in the Electric Arc Welding Department, taught by Har- old Annetts, are quite different frcm those of any other department In the Trade School. When the bright arc produced by the elec- tric arc welding machine unites with a metal it sends out a shower of sparks. The student uses a shield to protect his eyes. He also works behind closed doors to protect the passerby from the bright glare. Pattern Shop Uses Six Kinds of Lumber Six kinds of woods are used for making patterns In the Trade School Wood Pattern Department. Birch, sugar pine, hard and soft maple, mahogany, and American elm are used at the present time, according to A. G. Barke, wood pat- tern instructor. Until about three years ago, woods frcm the Ford Plantation in Brazil were used. Although approx- imately 90 kinds of woods are pro- duced by this estate, only 15 were used In the Trade School. Acetylene welding under the di- rection of Harry Hawn is section four. Practically every Job that can be welded is done in this de- partment. Often tools that are broken can be saved by welding. Brazing, cutting of steel and weld- ing are some of the various Jobs that are done in this department.

After a Job is heat treated in the various furnaces it must always be checked, lapped and straightened if necessary. Every Job is straightened within .005 of an inch.

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.

Roosevelt proclaimed a new postage rate for books, l£ cents a pound on books sent any- where in the country, instead of regular parcel rates. This will save the school approximately $800 a year on textbook sales. THE CRAFTSMAN Alumni and Craftsmen to Play for Darby Hat Out into the spotlight will again come the old 'darby1 hat, a token of victory, which will go to the winner of the annual Craftsmen Alumni basketball game, Dec. 2.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 193g Three Games Feature Annual Basketball Nite A triple deck attraction en- hanced by the lively tempos of the military band, will feature the Henry Ford Trade School annual basketball night, Dec. 2, at Mill- er School.

In 1926 the Trade School chose blue and white but in 1928 athlet- ic activities ceased and the col- ors were forgotten. In 1935 Coach V. F. Richard's basketball team wore blue and gold. Since then blue and gold have been accepted as official school colors by the students. The new basketball equipment which Coach V. F. Richards was tak- ing over to Miller School proved to be too heavy a load. After going a short way, he had a blow- out . Although Ray Porter of the In- sect ion Ramblers is the shortest player, five feet two inches, par- ticipating in the Intramural Bas- ketball League, he is the leading scorer of his team. The M-section Maroons, captained by Jack Gemmel have yet to meet de- feat in intramural basketball com- petition. Last season they took 11 straight, winning the Junior title. This far they have won 6.
