Limited A Page from the Thompson Products Auto Album A NASH AND A CHRYSLER MAKE A BUICK The Amen can Locomotive company in Pi ttsburgh was extremely happy with i ts shop superintendent in 1910. He was bri lliant, loved by the men and he was paid $12,000 a year. He was Walter Chrysler, a young man, born on the Kansas ' plains with inti- mate ties in Canada. His forbears had surveyed what is now Highway 2 from Hamil- ton to Windsor and they had helped found the city of Chatham. Whi le rai Iroading was his life, young Chrysler hod already bought his first automobile which he had torn down and put together a half dozen times before learning to drive. As a railroader that had moved around, his reputation as a man and mechanic hod grown, and it was to him, that Charles Nash, President of the Buick division of General Motors turned to so lve his production problems. He offered Chrysler $6,000 a year and he took it. Chrysler solved Buick ' s problems and as a matter of fact, went on to solve problems for other automobile manufacturers before building his first Chrys- ler in 1924. People have always mode the difference in the stories of the auto- motive industry, and while stars like Chrysler and others ore few and far between, the industry is mode up of people whose claim to fame is their ability to work as a team. Teamwork is what Thompson depends upon in its job of helping to build a bigger Automotive industry, a better community and security for its employees.

The Grantham Gander has grown to a thirty page paper and still only costs our students a nickel. The quality of the Gander this year has been exceptional. Mrs. Paul is our staff advisor, and Les McDonald is the editor this year. Lambert Westera, UUa Lenzin, and Mary Anne Kozak have done excellent work in the art department. Marg Gilbert has con- tributed an original cross-word puzzle for each edition. The typists have done an exceptionally good job with the typing this year and they certainly deserve recognition for all their hard work. Many other students have contributed in so many ways and all students are encouraged to con- tribute. The Gander again donated a bursary to the student with the highest marks in Upper Class English. This year Lee Allen received the bursary. This year has been most successful and we are all looking forward to an even better one next year.
