GERTRUDE PHILBECK
To us there is one so true, so dear,
One whom we all love and revere;
And she's as fair, as dear,
As sweet as a flower rare.
If there is work to do she's always
there
Whether it be pleasant or whether it
be drear.
She likes work as well as fun
And she is a friend to everyone.
Many days from us she has been
away,
But absence makes hearts grow
fonder, they say;
And so, eagerly, we await her re
turn
With a love that makes our very
hearts burn.
Who is she, this sweet, lovely maid
Of whom the prophets of good so
much have said?
Bend close that you her name may
hear—
Gertrude is that name so sweet, so
dear.

lenboro High School. By Frank

The
POLICY
of
PROGRESS
A STATEMENT
bv >
GENERAL MOTORS
* ►
/
f
I
-■LT is the policy of Gen
eral Motors to maintain continuous improvement,
in every one of its car divisions, with no interrup
tion in production.
This means that you enjoy the benefits of
new engineering developments promptly —just as
soon as shey have been thoroughly tested on the 
1245-acrc Proving Ground.
It means that you can now order the new
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Buick,
LaSalle, Cadillac, or CMC Truck, and receive
immediate delivery.
Behind this policy of continuous improvement
is an organization so widespread and resourceful
that it can make and sell quality automobiles
more economically than any automobile manu
facturer in the world.
In the north and south it logs and mills it*
own lumber. In the east it makes its own ball"
bearings and radiators. In the middle west it
produces its own plate glass. Its plants are busy
in 33 important American cities. 4
From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials are
obtained —steel by the hundreds of thousands of «
tons wire by the tens of thousands of miles
upholstery by the acre—nuts, bolts and washers
by the millions. Its sales and service take place
through 33,000 dealers. More than 275,000 families*
look directly to General Motors for their liveli
hood almost a million and a half men, women
and children in every community in the land.
Meaning so much to so many, General Motors *
has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead.
Are there methods by which General Motops
cars can be better built to better serve?
Are there new ideas which can increase the
utility and pleasure and safety of motoring?
Are there new materials which can add to
owner satisfaction?
Such are the questions that all General Motors 
engineers have always asked. The answers have
made it possible, year after year, to offer an in
creasing measure of beauty in design, modern
performance, riding comfort and distinct style.
Thus in every price class, from Cadillac to Chevro- 
let, purchasers are constantly benefiting from the
General Motors policy of progress.
