Henry Ford Trade School - Craftsman Yearbook (Dearborn, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1951 volume:

FOREWORD Through the sweat and toil of that which we call experience come the sweet moments which last forever in our minds, we have endeavored to picture herein the stories of our achievements of the past year. Our hopes and ambitions are yet to De fulfilled as we leave to take our place in the world of free enterprise. Through the skill and confidence which we have gained from the Henry Ford Trade School we may look forward to building a successful future, for on our shoulders rests the foundation of a greater America. The dream of lasting peace and a world economy shall one day be a reality, for in our knowledge there is power, in our wisdom there is strength, and in our prayers, a blessing. The Yearbook Staff.

God give us men ! A time like this demands Strong minds, great heads, true faith and ready hands ; Men whom the lust of office does not kill ; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy ; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor ; men who wall not lie ; Men who stand before a demagogue And damm his treacherous blatheries without winking Tall men - crowned , who live above the fog . In public duty and in private thinking Fear while the rabble, with their thumb-w'orn creeds Their large professions and, their little deeds , Mingle in selfish strife, alas! Freedom weeps Wrong rules the land waiting Justice sleeps.

State Trophy Fifth Consecutive Year V Ge°era C0 Tntpect''°9 AI I Aboa rd! 45 BAND ACCORDION DUET The Henry Ford Trade school Band, under the direction of Mr. Roscoe wolverton, made several private and public appear- ances during the school year beginning in September 1950. During the month of Octo- ber the band provided music for the weekly section assemblies held on Thursdays in the Academic section. Band members played duets and solos for their individual sec- tions at the Thanksgiving programs. On December i6 the Band dressed in their tuxedos gave a fine performance at the Ford Rotunda auditorium. The February Commencement exercises, also held at the Ford Rotunda auditorium, was furnished with music by the Trade school Band. a joyous occasion where the band members enjoyed themselves in a different way was a steak fry held on June 23. Among other happy events for the band is the awarding of school letters to those participating in a required number of band activities, we of the Trade school wish to thank Mr. wolverton for his kindness, patience, and. cooperation which he displayed in spending so much of his time in training and di- rect ing the band. ATHLETICS Athletics, rightly considered, means much more than the development of mere muscles. The t rue ideals of athletics are qualities of quick- ness, skill, endurance, and manliness. It means moral as well as physical strength. A good athlete can take a whipping without com- plaining. Also, he can accept victory without ill-humor. Asportsman should play a game merely for the love of the game. without honor, loyalty, and sportsmanship, a man is not worthy of the title athlete. 47 BASKETBALL Craftsmen End Best Season In School’s History Our accomplishment In basketball were three-fold.

The ooya couldn't seem to get the range in the early stages of the contest being spotted a 9-to-o lead in the first three minutes of play, but «hen they caught fire in the waning minutes of the first period, there «as no stopping them. John Young led the night's scorers with Jt points. rInal score a s-3 a. and brushed them aside 6« to 36.

For the fourth time, the Craftsmen were led by John Young whose 17 points hiked his year s tot al to 77. By dropping a highly touted Cast Oetroit squad 53-36. we kept our unbeaten string intact. This win gave us an addi- tional thrill when Coach Lind's prediction came true and we found our team listed among the top ten class a teams In the state for the first time. Meanwhile, our boys stormed past Bay City Handy, 39-21 for their sixth win without a loss. Ford Trade had too much for northvllle In winning 30-ao with wait Bosko's 13 points leading followed by Young with la and Bigato with 10. Our fighting craftsmen kept their record clean by defeat Ing wyandotte  9-32 for mo. 8. John Young led again with 15 points. in one of the season's best-played games we were Challenged by Romulus, a Class B school with an undefeated record, after some sensational snots by Pete CuCa we won 50- 3 «hich brought up to the 3rd place in the Top Ten in the state. we experienced another thrill when we played on the pre- liminary bill of the Liwrence Tech-Cre Ighton contest at the State Fair coliseum. it took a full quarter before the Craftsmen got the feel of the big floor. in the second quarter they began to open op their fast-breaking style which resulted in a complete rout of Hazel Park.

Yes, it finally happenedl The Craftsmen had their vic- tory string snapped by ann arbor  7-si. Pete Cuca, Gerald Gortney, Charles Johnson and john Rigato each played his last game for the Trade school. in the words of Coach Lind, •we lost because we tried too hard to win. Still feellirg the sting of our last defeat, and elthout the services of the four regulars who had graduated, we fell prey to a determined Romulus squad. Final score - Ford Trade 38. Romulus as. valentine won top scoring honors with IS points and joe Schneider was next with a Finally Shaking its losing ways the team again found itself and we finished our regular schedule by dropping warntramck  7-39. John Young proved a last-second hero In our first game of the Regional Tournament by scoring an «ozars the field goal from the middle of the floor as the buzzer sounded to bring Ford Trade a «8-S6 triumph over Fordson, and a chance at the title. Playing our next game against wyandotte resulted in an easy ai-22 victory. This moved us into the Quarter-Finals of the State Tourney at Jackson. Our dreams of a state title were humbled by Lansing (astern SB-38. t most there ■as only one bright spot for the craftsmen - the performance of john Young. ne accounted for 73 of our points before being taken out of the game.

The team «as keyed up for the game for they «anted to be victorious as In Basketball. The game «as «ell played in very cold «eather and  e «on by the score of 5-3 on the two hit pitching of Lefty Bob Egbert and the clutch hitting of Ross Nicholson «hose double with the bases loaded scored three runs. The short-stopping of Oick KOtulak «ho handled seven chances «as sensational. The second game was played at Hamtramck which we «on 8-6 in extra irtnings. Ron Avedeslan hit his first two-run homer and Bob Egbert struck out ten batters. The third game «as played on the home field and we lost a close one when several balls fell in left field and some poor base running by the score of 7-5. Ron Avedesian apaln hit a two-run homer. Me lost the next three games, two of which should have been won but the breaks went against us. Me won the last two games on great pitching by Lefty Bob Egbert, and improved hitting in the pin-ches. The fielding was fast with our boys making three double plays that greatly helped the efforts of the pitcher. The great catch by joe vorbeck in right-center field will be remembered as a game saving feat which was turned into a double play to help turn bach Ecorse in our last game. Ross Nicholson was a loss to the team after the fourth game because of appendicitis. The craftsmen exhibited 'PEP' and 'HUSTLE' that make for good baseball play and interesting games. They were a much better team than the final records show since they won from Fordson, Hamtramck, and Oearoorn away from home. They won the last game played at home against Ecorse and lost heart- breakers to oearborn and Romulus earlier in the season. For the records a won and « lost.

Hazel park, St. Marys of Royal oak, Ann Arbor, and Royal oak high schools. This proved to be a tough layout as as the latter. Royal oak, won the State Championship and Ann Arbor placed second. The score for the season was 5 wins, 3 losses, 2 ties. valuable experience was gained by the members of the team by playing top notch opponents and playing on some of the best golf courses in the State. Two of the outstanding courses. Red Run and university of Mich- igan, proved too tough, as the matches with Royal oak and Ann Arbor respectively, marked up losses number two and three for the Trade School . previous to this time the golfers had gained triumphs over Dearborn, Hazel park, St. Marys of Royal oak, and two against their arch rival Fordson. Two ties had also been posted, against Dearborn in tt e first match of the season, and the match with Hazel park, at North Hills Golf Course of Birmingham. Revenge was gained in both return matches as victories were posted. The match with Dearborn which was for the Championship of Dearborn, found the boys in top shape, with Chris Pace and Hank Even each shoot- ing an Eighty. joe Even came in with an Eighty-two and Bob williams Ninety which rounded out a low total of 332 for the season. The Regional Tournament at Ann Arbor provided thrills for about 200 High school Golfers. The test of ________ nerves at the number one tee caused many of the boys an embarrassing moment. Hank Even later admitted he was shaking so much that he could hardly hold a club, let alone hit a little golf ball. This nerv- ousness was not evident some time later in the day, when the team was taken to the Sweet Shop for a Chicken dinner. Chris pace said it would be a breach of etiquette not to mention the cute little waitress that served those malted milks, thus proving that fun and good food go hand in hand. The crowning event of the season was the All Sports Banquet, featuring Diz Trout of the Detroit Tigers and Bobbie Doer of the Boston Red Sox. After collecting their share of the door prizes, the boys bade farewell to Chris pace, who will graduate this semester. The rest of the team will take part in a round robin tourna- ment in preparation for a success- ful season next year. f % GOLF COACH L. COACH ING H.

Mr. Gorbett was hired by the Ford Motor com- pany on June 2 7, 1913 and remained with the company until January 17, 1917. He joined the the Trade school and was head instructor of the Trolley Department until it was discontinued, in February of 1948 he was placed on the watch- man staff at the Academic section. Mr. Gorbett will be long remembered in the Trade school for his pleasant manner and friend- 1 i ness. JOHN E. GROBBEL Mr. John e. Grobbel died suddenly on November 25 1950, at the age of 73. He was born on August 19, 1877 and joined the Ford Motor Company in 1919. He was a journeyman toolmaker with Ford's for 11 years and worked as inspector, toolmaker, and foreman. He was trans- ferred to the Trade school in 1930 and taught in the Commercial Tool Repair Department. Mr. Grobbel will not be forgotten by the Trade School faculty and students. ELMER JACOBS Mr. Elmer Jacobs, aged 57, instructor in the Shop Training Section for the past 22 years, died January 19, 1951, following a sho rt illness. Mr. Jacobs joined the faculty of the Trade School in 19 29 . During the past few years he was assigned to the surface grinder department. His interest in the welfare of the students and his whole-hearted support of them won him the respect of his fellow instructors and the hun- dreds of boys who were privileged to receive instruction from him. CHESTER E. KELLEY Mr. Chester e. Kelley, aged 52, died suddenly on Saturday, May 19, 1951 after being with the Trade school for 22 years. Mr. Kelley was born in the small New England town of Fitchburg, Massachusetts in 1899 and joined the Trade school in 1929. Mr. Kelley was an instructor in the shaper, mill, and lathe departments while he was with the Trade School. Mr. Kelley will be missed by all who appre- ciated his kind, quiet, and unassuming manner. 77 SI sndiAivo uno TimeS The present TiueS paper started in September of 1947 as a one-page, mimeographed student publication presenting the news of each of the three sections and written during the week that the boys were in their academic classes. Mr. Dob re i was faculty advisor for the H-Section, Mr. Rogers for the T-Section, and Mr. Lancaster for the W-Section. At the beginning of the second semester, Mr. Dombrowski became the M-Section advisor and Mr. Johnson became the W- Section advisor, while Mr. Rogers continued to sponsor the T-Section paper. When the September 48 issues were published, Mr. Heinz had become sponsor for. the M-Section. This arrangement was continued through both semesters that year. Mr. Johnson, i n his English 5 classes, began to use news story writing as composition assignments. I t was soon discovered that this aroused more interest in writing than any other type of assignments had done. in September '49 the English 5 classes undertook the publishing of all three section papers and both the boys and the instructor found the task enjoyable. In May 50 the English 5 classes were asked to publish a four-page issue to publicize the Bob-Lo picnic. Several issues were printed in our print shop andpictures were used to illustrate the stories. Although the Bob-Lo story was soon exhausted, it was decided that the four-page printed editions would be con- tinued to the end of the semester. The next eight issues established the TiueS as the official school paper and T he Craftsman, amonthly publication that had been i n ex i stance as the Trade School paper since I935 was discontinued. Thus our Engl ish 5 cl asses assumed the responsibil ity of publishing the school news and the constant writing and re-writing of the various news items has produced many excellent writers. Mr. Johnson, who teaches these classes, said, Each class has its difficulties for the first few issues, but by the end of the semester they are always clamoring for at least two more pages so that every student may have his stories published. After the news stories are written and approved there is still a great deal of work to be done before the paper is printed. It is here that the cooperation of Trade School personnel becomes apparent. First, the stories In the required column space are typed by Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Jewell. Next, after the lay-out of copy is made, a perfect copy on white paper is typed by Jean Helek. While this work is being done, the print shop personnel has set the type for the headlines and story head and Tom McCall has exercised his artistic talents in arranging the lay-out of the pictures that illustrate the stories. All of this work must be done between Wednesday afternoon, the deadline for news stories, and Friday afternoon when the TiueS goes to press. 79 AUTOGRAPHS
