Attend the Basketball Night ®he (draftsman Donate for Christmas Baskets HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL, DEARBORN, MICHIGAN VOL. 4, NO. 6 Boys to Present Musical Program Parents, instructors, students, and friends of Henry Ford Trade School are invited to attend the school'8 musical program in the Little Theater of Ford Rotunda Saturday, Dec. 17, featuring the glee club and band. In addition to the band and chor- al numbers there are to be vocal and instrumental specialities. A cast of 70 boys in the glee club and band will participate. As the theater will seat less than 400 persons, there will be two performances, at 3:30 and 7:30 p. m. The program will last ap- proximately an hour and a half. Between performances the boys in the program will go to the Adminis- tration Building cafeteria for a dinner prepared by Bruce K. Lemon, supervisor of the cafeteria. Tickets may be obtained in Room 39 after Dec. 12. Families to Receive Christmas Baskets To supply Christmas baskets for some of the unfortunate families of Trade School boys, the Morning Service Group is taking a free- will offering. The needy families will be se- lected by the schooL office. Each basket will contain about three dollars worth of groceries. The number of baskets to be distrib- uted will be determined by the a- mount of money received. Money may be dropped into a box in the school auditorium during the morning services. During the day the box will be in Rocm 39. Donations may also be given to E. 0. Sanders or Wilbur Harden. Lectures And Movies Describe Sofkurd Milk Each Wednesday for the last three weeks, representatives of the Borden Creamery Company have been present in the Trade School auditorium giving lectures on the value of Sofkurd milk and showing motion pictures of important events during the last 80 years. Through special processing, Sof- kurd milk does not form a solid in the stomach like normal milk, but remains a liquid throughout diges- tion, thereby imparting a larger per cent of its vitamins to the body. Students attending the lectures were given samples of this milk. Commencement Speaker Dr. M. S. Rlcq. Chefs Prepare Lunch While Students Sleep While most students are still asleep, preparations are made for the cooking of the noonday lunch- eon served daily in the school; for it is early indeed when the Coffin and Nunneley's food plant, Miller Road and Dix Highway, begins its activities of the day. Amid the hiss of steam which heats the 10, giant, 80-gallon kettles used for general cooking purposes, head chef, Rene De Rain and assistant Fred Holbeck begin to prepare the students' meal. In addition to these kettles there are three 125 gallon coffee urns that are almost continually kept in operation to satisfy the de- mands of the men in the factory. To assure best nutritious qual- ities possible, fresh vegetables are obtained daily. An electric peeler makes short work of peeling potatoes, parsnips (Continued on page 3) I Veteran Desks May Go, But Off with the old—on with the new'. Bowing to progress, six Trade School instructors watched their silent servants of many years being dragged out of their rooms. But they accepted the pro- gress Joyfully when they saw the sturdy new desks that were brought in as replacements Keith Glassley, physics instruc- tor and R. D. Weaver, chemistry instructor, bubbled over with com- pliments on the fine construction DECEMBER 2, 1938 Graduates Plan A Commencement Supplementing the customary din- ner dance, a complete commencement exercise, the first in Trade School history, will be staged at the Ford Rotunda by the '39 grad- uating class on Jan. 28, with the Rev. Dr. M. S. Rice, minister of Metropolitem Methodist Church, dated to address the graduates. Dr. Rice, because of his inter- est in educational pursuits and popularity as a commencement speak- er, was unanimously selected as speaker of the evening at a meet- ing of the nine A-class presidents last Friday. The Rouge Symphony Orchestra, directed by Robert R. Taylor, will add a tasteful musical touch to the occasion. Further planning of the commence- ment program was vested in a com- mittee of three, one representa- tive from each section, aupcinted (Contlnuod on page 3) Seniors Present Signed Lamp Base to Mr. Yerex Built by William Funk, T-D-l, and autographed by 300 Trade School seniors, a lamp base was presented last Thursday as a token of best wishes for a speedy recov- ery to G. A. Yerex, personnel di- rector, who is convalescing in Henry Ford Hospital. The lamp was presented by Frank Leach, senior, who made the ar- rangements for the gift. Turned from a piece of unfin- ished birch, the completed flask- shaped desk model lamp base stands eleven inches high. Under the maple lacquered finish are auto- graphs of the seniors who contrib- uted to the cost of construction. R. S. Yerex, chemistry instruc- tor, reports that his brother is rapidly returning to health. Memories Linger Forever of the new desks. Ah, but there's a reason. The desks were made in Indiana, and Messrs. Glassley and Weaver hail from the Hoosier State. The new desk that now stands in A. M. Wagener's shop theory room had for its predecessor one of the trickiest desks in the Trade School. Although the desk was locked every night, Mr. Wagener always opened it the next morning without the aid of a key. The (Continued on page 4)

PAGE FOUR Ten School League Teams in Playoff The senior intramural basketball playoffs begem last Monday with ten of the 16 starting teams still in the fight for the championship. They have entered a two-game knock- out series which will continue un- til only two teams remain. These two teams will play for the champ- ionship on the annual basketball night, Dec. 2, at Miller School. Three teams remain in the W-sec- tion- -High Spirits captained by George Beaver; Swingsters, Leonard Taylor; and Lions, Maurice McGuire. In the M-section three teams are left--Maroons captained by Jack Gemmel; Ramblers, Keith Miller; Sees, Frank DeGrande.

Tom Harrington, of the M-section Maroons leads the league in scor- ing with 59 points and is closely followed by Leonard Taylor, of the Swingsters, with 46 points and George Beaver with 32 points. Players who have made a good showing are George Crist Everett Rooney, John Hutton Leo Festian, and Harold Marhle, in the T-sec- ti on; Paul Saracino Vincent De- naro, and George Reiha, in the W- section; and Ray Porter, Jack Moons, Jack Lenk, and Bill Thomp- son in the M-section. ■ G. A. Yerex is in Henry Ford Hospital where he underwent an operation last Wednesday. ■ Steve Chayke, Douglas Souter, f'ioyd Smith, George Simons, and i Frank Czarnicki, instructors, are stalking the wild buck. ■ J. H. Wolfe, supervisor of Ford Apprentice School, has Just received copies of his latest book entitled Mechanics Vest Pocket Reference Book. They are for sale at the bookstore. ■ To promote the cultural growth and education of the American peo- ple. Pres. 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. The 'darby' is painted black. The red and yellow lettering on the old hat reads Craftsman-Alum- ni. At the beginning of each basket- ball season this traditional game 18 held. The Craftsmen have won three times, while the Alumni have won only once. If the Alumni wins this game the hat will be kept by an alumnus and will be present at all of their club meetings. If won by the Craftsmen quintet, it will be on display in the library. Varsity to Sell Tickets for All Their Home Games Season basketball tickets for seven home games, selling for 50 cents, will be placed on sale Nov. 25, according to Coach V. F. Richards. Tickets will be on sale in the bookstore. L. H. Bartholomew, physics instructor, and J. P. Heinz, shop theory instructor, will have charge of selling and collecting tickets at the games. They will be assisted by two sen- iors, Harold McRay and Joseph pinko.

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. The Intramural Championship match, Craftsmen vs Alumni duel, and a clash between the shop and class instructors will fill the evening with thrills and suspense. First game will start at 7:30 p. a. In the curtain-raiser, two sec- tions will compete for the Intra- mural Championship In former years, W-section has dominated the games, winning three. M-section has managed to win one game, but T-section is not In the win column for the championship. The Craftsmen will attempt to defend their edge over the Alumni In the second game. The third game will pit the shop instructors against the class in- structors. The class instructors have subdued the shop Instructors four straight games and assert that they will make it five straight victories. The class instructors will be captained by L. H. Bartholomew. Steve Vigh will lead the shop in- structors in the battle. Blue-Gold Accepted as Official School Colors If the Trade School's official colors are blue and white, why are blue and gold letters worn? 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.

It is quite a prevalent practice for a student who has a full pro- gram to overlook the little things that really make up an education. We give the log-wood of life to the secondary matters and to the highest we give the chips. It's the obvious things that are deemed unimportant. Little things are seldom given credit for the tre- mendous part that they play in big things. Only by looking around can they be found — YOU can find the little things if you look hard, and long enough. Common Sense Is Safety Crime does not pay; neither does carelessness. Both of these are avoidable. Because of carelessness, acci- dents occur, and these accidents can he avoided. Cooperate with instructors; observe safety rules by using common sense. Make sure the work is held se- curely on machines, and shut off the machine before cleaning it. A Good Spirit By making someone else happy on Christmas Day one receives far more thanks than can be repaid. Students and instructors are to be commended for their fine spirit in the recent drive, asking funds for the needy. They gave generously to the Com- munity Fund. The contribution box for Yuletide baskets, conducted by Morning Service, is being filled.

You hear persons who are undoubtedly well educated violat- ing English grammar so the reason must be carelessness. Careless people lose some of the respect of their companions. One of the most common of these violations is misuse of saw and seen . The past tense and past participle of this verb are often confused. We hear I have saw him, and I seen him, both of which are incorrect. Saw must never he used with have, has, or had, and seen must always be used with a helping verb. I saw him, and I have seen him, are correct. First among the evidences of an education comes correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue. pleted a homemade Argus Camera enlarger that works efficiently. The enlarger was built of inexpen- sive objects, among which are an egg poacher and coffee can. The cost of building this enlarger is approximately one-twelfth of the market price of a new one.
