First Place Rating Given to Craftsman by Quill S Scroll International First Place Award was won by The Craftsman at the last Judging of Quill and Scroll, international honorary Journal- istic society. This award, the first given to The Craftsman since Joining the society last June, is exceeded only by the International Honor Award.

Crump Awarded Lawrence Institute Scholarship of ten qualified the annual five year Lawrence In- stitute scholar- ship award, William C r u m p, who was graduated last June, emerged as the winner.

He is still enrolled in the Trade School. His average in the school shop is A-B, and his class average is A. Each year the scholarship offers a standard college degree course in engineering to the boy whose scholastic record in the Trade School is the most meritorious. The committee for the selection was composed of Messrs. F. E. Searle, G. A. Yerex, J. H. Wolfe, and E. H. Bailey. Eugene Adams, last year's selec- tion, is reported to be doing ex- cellent work.

The club will meet from 3 to 4 p. m. on nights most convenient for the boys. The amount of inter- est shown by the boys will deter- mine the number of courses given. Instruction will be given in de- veloping, printing, and probably enlarging. Stag Party Planned for 22nd Anniversary Adam will leave Eve at home this year. For this year's Annual Trade School Party, commemorating the school's twenty-second anniver- sary, will be a stag affair. More than a thousand letters, announcing the plans for the party, have been mailed to all alumni whose addresses are available. Four Trade School students typed two days addressing the envelopes and filling in the names. F. W. Edwards and C. C. Crawford, former officials of the school, are working with Supt. F. E. Searle in arranging the party. Mr. Ed- wards and Mr. Crawford left the school in 1928. Mr. Crawford is now teaching at the George Vocational School in Detroit, while Mr. Edwards is in the insurance business in Detroit. The letter read: How would you like to spend an evening with the old gang who used to go to the Trade School with you? At the last alumni dinner we were remarking about the small num- ber of old timers there, so this committee, composed of Colin (Stuffy) Crawford, F. W. Eddie” Edwards, and F. E. Searle was formed to try and get all the former students together.
