FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Teacher Takes Job With Detroit System Harry Serwin, Ford Apprentice School Instructor of electricity for the last three years, resigned Sept. 6 to accept a position at Wilbur Wright Cooperative High School as a machine shop and me- chanical drawing teacher. Mr. Serwin was graduated in 1932 from the University of Detroit where he studied electrical engi- neering. Following his graduation from U. of D., he was employed by Ford Motor Co., later being trans- ferred to the Apprentice School. While teaching Apprentice School, he attended evening classes at Wayne University for three years, to earn a teacher's certificate. The place vacated by Mr. Serwin was filled by C. Lee Dryden, who was employed by Ford Motor Co. last October. Prior to this he worked for the Bell Telephone Co. Mr. Dryden was graduated frcm the University of Cincinnati where he earned his bachelor of science der gree. Stag Party Planned (Continued frcm page l) er of 1916-17-18-19-20 or any year down to the last class and section. What was yours? We are trying to reach all of you but if you know of any one whom we have been unable to reach due to his change of address, won't you please let us know his address so that we do not overlook anyone. This party is going to be a stag affair as we are sure that you will want to meet the old gang and reminisce about the old days even to the time that the football dressing room was the nearest empty box car on the side track-- who swiped the pies? Who were the 13 who tipped the bowls of mulli- gan stew over the table?--and thousands of other funny experi- ences that happened in the years gone by. Be with us as we all want to see you and you to see each other on Saturday, October 22. Place to be announced later, so tell the better half (if you have one) or girl friend that you are stagging that evening. Also let us know by calling any of us if you can help on the committee. C C C at HO 4692; F W E at TO 6-2951; F E S at OR 4600. Further information will be given in the next issue. A tank car loaded with helium gas shipped by the Navy weighed 92,000 pounds less than the empty tank car. 85 Schools Represented by Boys in New GmClosses From 85 different schools of Met- ropolitan Detroit come the 130 odd new boys, all of the teen age, who make up the various G-classes. Not only do these boys come from a variety of localities, but they also come with a multitude of expe- riences. Almost all, however, a- gree on one point, I want to be- gin to learn a trade. Nearly all, too, say, I plan to save a gener- ous part of my scholarship. I am The long and short of them. Dirk Woestenburg is 6 ft. 1 in. and Ivan Thompson is 4 ft. 7 in. glad to be here. Speaking of sports, many of these beginners have prize base- (Continued on page 4) Tour of Ireland Told by Apprentice Instructor Ireland is as green as many say it is, for it rained every day I was there, stated Eugene Mc- Auliffe, Apprentice School in- structor, when telling about his three-week trip across the Atlan- tic. While in Dublin Mr. McAuliffe met Eamon de Valera, Prime Minis- ter of Ireland, and visited Balle- donnel Field, made famous by Doug- las (Wrong Way) Corrigan. While in County Kerry, Mr. Mc- Auliffe passed near Costelmaine, the home town of James O'Neill, ABC instructor. This region is one of the prettiest spots in Ire- land, said Mr. McAuliffe. With a rented, right-drive Ford V-8, driving on the left side of the road, he visited parts of Ire- land made famous by such songs as The Rose of Tralee, Where the River Shannon Flows, and Shawl of Galway Gray. At Cork, the Ford Assembly plant was visited and in Limerick, the electric plant, located on the Dental Office is Visited Monthly by Large Number Approximately 200 boys visit the school's dental office each month according to Dr. R. G. Chambers, school dentist. The majority of the boys ccme for examination and advice; the others seek relief from pain. The chief reason for poor teeth among the new boys is their finan- cial conditions. Older boys show a greater appreciation for the ne- cessity of good teeth, while the younger boys probably consider cleaning their teeth daily a chore. However, the Trade School is show- ing a marked improvement in oral hygiene, states Dr. Chambers. After a dental examination is made, and approval secured from the school office, permission must then be obtained from the parents or guardian of the boy before any work is done. Teeth are repaired with silver and porcelain. There is no gold, bridge or denture work done. The dental office is furnished with the most modern dental equip- ment, which consists of a new com- bination whirlpool cuspidor unit, dental engine, hydraulic chair, electric sterllzer and cabinet with porcelain dust-proof drawers. Once a year a course consisting of lectures, illustrations, dental materials, models, charts and motion pictures is given to all students. The purpose is to in- struct the boys in the proper care of the teeth and help them acquire a s imple knowledge of the teeth and mouth. Dental office hours are frcm 7:30 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. Ques- tions are answered and advice is given whenever needed. Section Glee Clubs Plan for Christmas Program The Glee Club from each section has held its first meeting and is making plans for a Christmas pro- gram to be held the second week in December. Letters will be awarded to all members meeting the requirements for the two terms. Practice will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays after class in the auditorium. Those who are interested in Join- ing see F. S. Nicholson, drawing instructor, in Room 5. River Shannon, which supplies most of Ireland with electricity, and the Atlantic airbase, near Foynes, were viewed with interest. He concluded his tour with a two- day visit in England.

Stool ting ▼el. , Mo. 1 Friday, 3ept. 23, 1956 Live in a Progressive Era Around the World in Eighty Days, a strange etory by Jules Verne, ap- peared in France in 1872. Around the world in eighty days I How im- possible I said the French people. Howard Hughes, 66 years later, flew around the world in 3 days, 19 hours, and 8 minutes. Progress? Yes. Change? Unmis- takably. To live successfully in a progressive era, students must not leave their preparation to chance. Good habits of study must be formed. A desire to know why and how is of prime importance. At the beginning of a new year the time is propitious for the ac- quiring of emulous qualities. The time for formal training in school is short; don't waste it. In Memory Each year as summer approaches and as every boy longs to spend his days in the outdoors. Dame Trade 6chool unfolds her arms and bids her students go and enjoy the long-awaited vacation. Although she shares each boy's delight at being released, she also nourishes a secret sorrow, for she knows that seme of them she will never see again. Then, as autumn concludes the vacations she again clasps her boys to her bosom and fearfully begins to look for the missing. This fall, three beloved stu- dents failed to answer 7:30 roll call . Now, as she watches her boys passing through the halls, she quietly mourns the absence of John Letters, Francis Bogue, and Robert Bibbee. John and Francis were killed in automobile acci- dents, while Robert died of inju- ries received while diving. One-Cent Loss Equals $20 The loss of one one-cent in- crease in scholarship in one year's time amounts to approximate- ly $20.00. There Eire many useful or pleas- ant ways in which this money could be spent. One would have enough to buy a good candid camera or to make a trip during his vacation. A round trip ticket, on the bus, to the New York World's Fair could be bought and still have $2 left. Then there's that set of golf clubs or fishing equipment. In three yeeirs the loss is ap- proximately $60. With this money three weeks could be spent at a summer camp with all expenses paid and still have enough for a one year membership at the Y.M.C.A. All graduation expenses could be paid Including a new suit and the price of the dinner-dance. The money might also be set aaide to- wards that new celt you someday hope to have. All this means that once an in- crease In scholarship is lost. It can never be regained. However, if you have missed one, you can resolve never to miss smother. Foot Structure Delicate, Bad Heels Impair Health Few people realize how delicate a structure the foot is and how easily it can be injured. The foot consists of 26 perfect- ly arranged bones which support the body's weight and allow free play of the parts when we move about. Rundown shoe heels injure the feet, thus impairing the health. The fact that boys in the Trade- School spend most of the day on their feet wears out the heels quickly. Heels may be rundown, on the outside or inside, the lat- ter is more common with people who have flat feet. According to medical authorities, rundown heels may cause nervous- ness, sore leg muscles, fallen arches, backaches, Emd sometimes headaches. They not only cause physical troubles but tend to affect the personal appearance, causing poor gait and unkempt appeELTELnce. Chemist Visits West, Misfortune Begins CEime night'. And the headlights showed a ribbon of white highway winding up Emd down betwixt the Western Utedi hills. O'er this highway a '37 Ford bowled along at a prodigious clip. The driver, a chemist by trade, gradually sensed that his steering apparatus was failing. By the time the said driver, whan further identification re- vealed as Roy Yerex Emd his wife, reached the margin of a flourish- ing town the steering system proved definitely paralyzed. Mr. Yerex ushered his traveling pEma- phernalia into the first repair station they accosted in the town, which, by the wELy, had been chris- tened Salt Lake City 91 years be- fore. Misfortune, however, begat mis- fortune'. Strange enough, not a mechanic in the whole city would oblige the strEmded travelers. There, all mechanics were union men. And union men in BrighEun Young's settlement don't work on the Sabbath. No, Sir'. So the auto wrecked tourists were compelled to hfimg up for the nlte in the brine- water city. Monday morn awoke clear and gay upon the late arrivals. The whole population, in fact, seemed Emi- mated in the esmly a. m. But Mr. Yerex, mindful of his itinerary plight, repaired to town in quest of a mechanic. But sorry was his luck I Mechamics were still In imperturbable hibernation! Mondays weren't always sacred to the Mormans, he leELmed, but this pEmticulELT one commemorated the 91st year since Brigham Young founded his colony at Salt Lake City. The citizens observed the day with marked festivity. Union men didn't work on Emni- versEtries, either! So Mr. Yerex had to content himself with hoping that Tuesday wasn't the mayor's birthday or the Fourth of July, in which event mechanics would be back in circulation! Americsms consume 80,000 miles of hot dogs a yesir.

The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p. m. Meet the G -Class (Continued from page 3) ball8 which were autographed by Tiger bal1-players; others have received the thrill that goes with shaking the hand of Charlie Geh- ringer, Pete Fox, or Rudy York. Novel experiences? All have their stories to tell. I have killed hundreds of cat- tle and hogs, said Paul Quint, W- G-l, when relating his experiences. Paul, a muscular youth, has spent many odd-hours in a small, down- river slaughter house. Paul Tomell, T-G-l, has not been late or missed a day of school since he entered the 2B at Steph- anus Luthern School. While in the fourth grade in Gar- den City, Lyle Williams, T-G-2, was the fastest runner in his grade. He claims he was forced in- to top speeds by a big bully who delighted in chasing him home from school every night. After h e Bowling Season Opens for Four Trade School Leagues The rumbling of balls and the crashing of pins heralded the open- ing of the instructors' three bowl- ing leagues and the newly formed students' bowling league. Instructors League No. 1 started Sept. 13 with twelve teams. Their president is A. N. Edel; B. C. Brewen, secretary and treasurer. They bowl at Argyle Recreation, at 8:15 p. m. on Tuesdays. Instructors League No. 2, which began Sept. 21, consists of eight teams. The president is S. F. Langford; E. Workman, secretary; and W. F. Dopke, treasurer. This league bowls at 5:15 p. m. Wednes- days at West Warren Recreation. The Apprentice School Bowling League, which began Sept. 16, con- sist of four teams. The officers are Harold Young, secretary, and Fred Schiller, treasurer. The Students League has twelve five-men teams. Ted Bonaventura, C. W. Westerman, and G. W. Arm- strong are supervising the bowling. ceased to fear said bully, he lost his swiftness. The American Legion Award was won by William Mat land, T-G-l, in 1936. To have shook the hand of Henry Ford is the thrill of my life, says Walter Yeager, T-G-2, who met Mr. Ford in a roadway near Camp Legion. No use to ask your name, said Mr. Ford, for I would forget it anyway. Mr. Ford inquired as to Walter's grade in school. James Werner's, W-G-l, great, grand uncle, Frederick Vanderbilt, designed the Brooklyn Bridge. Heaped on past experiences comes the ringing of a time card, wear- ing a shop apron and skull cap, re- ceiving of their first scholarship. Faculty Extends Birthday Greetings to G. A. Yerex Convention took a holiday last Tuesday when G. A. Yerex, person- nel director, came face to face with a birthday greeting card ly- ing on the seat of his automobile. The card, autographed by nearly all school instructors, was signed after Mr. Yerex was overheard mak- ing a Joking appeal to Rene De Raine, chef, for a special birth- day dinner. The following morning a note on the instructors' time clock ex- pressed his appreciation. It read: Thank you for your kind words on my thirty-fifth (?) birthday. Thirty-five years? It was sug- gested that working with boys makes Mr. Yerex grow younger, for it was hinted that he was older than that when he came t o the Trade School ten years ago. Later in the day the card was dated 9-20-18 by one who attempted a guess. His identity is unknown. Foundry Boys Bow to Men of Foundry in Final Game Foundry boys took defeat Satur- day, July 27, when the foundry men, whom the boys had beaten in three previous encounters, scored 14 runs to the foundry boys' 13 in a nine inning game at Haggerty Field. Joe Grill and A1 Berthel lead for the foundry boys with the two home runs of the game, in the fifth and ninth innings, but even this failed to bring them victory. C. Whitey Barnes, short stop and captain of the foundry men's team, was star hitter of the day with a triple, two doubles, and a single, in five times at bat. L. Jeska, foundry instructor and organizer of the foundry boys' baseball team, supplied all the baseballs needed besides treating the boys to ice-cream and pop aft- er the game. Netters Win Opener Opening fall tennis campaign the Ford Trade Netters defeated Per- shing High School, 2-1, in a match played at Jayne Field, Sept. 15. John Shingleton won his singles match, while John Fusoiu and A1 Haining won their doubles. Henry Jasion and Fred Ascroft were de- feated . Kenneth Young and Dennis Marland are to be baptized at 7:30 p. m. on Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Gospel Assembly Hall, Wyoming and Midland Avenues, where the Trade School Morning Service group is meeting.
