Hushed was the hall when the ice cream plates were cleared away. Impressively the winners were announced. One of the senior Guildsmen had won on his home ground—Raymond S. Doerr of Battle Creek, Mich. Graduated from high school in February, he was encouraged by his father—a pattern maker for a plumbing manufacturer—to build a coach instead of looking for work. He set up a workshop in the family's basement. The other senior winner was a boy named Albert Fischer from Waukegan Ill. He was let out of his draftsman's job, spent 1,200 hours on his coach.

Howard Jennings, one of the junior scholarship winners, came from Denver, Colo., used the machinery at the printing shop where his father is a steel engraver. Donald Burnham of West Lafayette, Ind., worked at home in a little basement. An old hand at modelling, he once got a trip to Europe for making a miniature airplane.

When they have finished their college courses all the winners will be offered General Motors jobs.
