ed to use in the automotive field.
Many months of testing, both at the
General Motors Proving- Ground and
on the highway, preceded its adoption :
on the 1938 Chevrolet.
The central unit is a spring diaph-
ragm of heavy heat-treated steel
shaped something like a concave disc,
or, more accurately, a ‘ dished’ washer,
with 18 tapering steel fingers point-
ing inward from its edge.
When the clutch is in the engaged
position, the entire outer rim of the
disc bears against the pressure plate,
providing complete distribution of the
driving load. When the pedal is de-
pressed for disengagement, however,
the pressure of the throwout bearing
on the inner ends of the fingers causes
a diaphragm action, comparable to
that which takes place when the bot-
tom of an oil can is pressed. The out-
er ends of the fingers, toward the rim
of the disc, pivot on the foremost of
two fulcrum rings, one of which is
located on either side of the diaph-
ragm. This causes the rim of the
diaphragm to spring away from the
friction disc against which its own
stiffness has held it, and disengage-
ment results.
Just as the initial pressui'e required
to operate an oilcan is greater than
that needed to complete its depression,
so does the pressure required by the
new \Chevrolet clutch decrease as the
pedal sti'oke progresses. Engineers re-
port that it takes 25 per cent less ef-
fort than in 1937 to operate the clutch.
At the same time, engagement char-
acteristics have undergone marked im-
provement. The fact that the entire
rim of the diaphragm bears on the
clutch disc assures complete distribu-
tion of the driving load. Uniform
load distribution around the pressui e
plate, and softer application of the-
load, are affected by the substitution
of the 18 tapering steel fingers, stamp-
ed integral with the spring, for the
three pressure levers of 1937. Be-
cause the disc pivots on the fulcrums
provided by the two steel rings, fric-
tion is held at a minimum, not only
when the car is- new, but after Ions
service, when the conventional clutch
develops noticeable friction drag.

How is it you clothe your six
boys on such pay?”
“I know you will think it con-
ceited and queer,
But I do it because I’m a good
financier.
There’s Pete, John and Jim,
Joe, William and Ned.
A half dozen boys to be
clothed and fed.
I buy for them all good plain
victuals to eat, *
And clothing — I only buy for
Pete.
When Pete’s clothes are too
small for him to get on
My wife makes them over and
gives them to John.
When for John, who is ten,
they have grown out of date
She just makes them over for
Jim, who is eight.
When for Jim they become
too ragged to fix,
She just makes them over for
Joe, who is six.
And when little Joseph can
wear them no more,
She makes them over for Bill,
who is four.
When young Bill they no
longer will do,
She makes them over for Ned,
who is two.
So you see if I get enough

The family is furnished with
clothing complete.”

And when he has thrown it

“Why once more we go around

And begin to use it for patches

parts well as cats, owls, frogs

and ghosts, Speaking parts
were taken by several mem-
bers of the seventh grade,
while the children from the
other six grades made up the
well rehearsed chorus.
The rest of the program was
presented on the outdoor stage.
The audience greatly enjoyed
the tap dance numbers render-
ed by: Olive Jean Heinsohn,
Elnita Korbel, and Ruth Mae
Tampke. Edith Wolters was
the announcer for the Radio
program. Daniel Cizek and
Emmett Sauer, dressed as
darkies were “master of the
ceremonies.” A short play,
“The Flivver Family,” was en-
joyed by everyone. The seven-
th grade pupils, dressed as
dairy maids and dairymen
sang the song, “Old Man Henk
haus.’ The Freshies” sang a
song for us and gave their id-
entification. The kitchen kit ’
band consisting of sophomores,
was a pleasing number. The
negroes, from the freshman
class are to be highly compli-
mented on their part of the
program. The trumpet solo
given by Mr. Klos and his
daughter, Irene, was well ren-
dered. The Juniors, dressed up
as pirates, sang some good sai-
lor songs. The male choir ren-
dered some excellent numbers.
Last of all was the beauty con-
test. Those participating were:
Freshmen: Margaret Slanina,
Irene Filip, Eddy Lee Pfeil;
Sophomores Frances Broz. Leo-
la Menning, Marie Menk.e,
Fisseler, Virginia Vogelsang
Juniors: Stella Novak, Ruby
Seniors Lillian Baros, Georgie
Mae Janssen, Wilma Kloesel,

of the Halo we’en Carnival.
Others who helped make the
evening a success were Mr.
Othold’s Band with Helen Stef-
fens at the piano. Helen also
played the piano for the
stage' programs.
The Home Economics girls
sponsored the tea room. The
girls, dressed as pirates, were
very gracious waitresses.
The total carnival receipts
were $192.00.
