Excerpt from The Quaker, 1918 Strong willed and independent Gris goes serenely on his way little seeking the plaudits of his fellow beings. Squarely honest and straight forward he never acts merely to gain popular favor. Nevertheless he has succeeded in winning numerous friends during his four year's sojourn at Guilford. Dame Fortune has smiled indulgently on Gris and as a favored child of hers he enjoys a goodly share of her blessings. She has granted unto him an en gaging presence and a certain charm of man ner which we may call gallantry. But the smiles of Dame Fortune have not given Gris an exaggerated notion of his own importance. Indeed it might be said that he is somewhat reticent when it comes to an expression of his ideas. No man belonging to the Class of '18 can lay claim to more genuine mental abilitv than can Gris. This is shown as well by the usual wit and humor of his conversation as by the ease with which he captures good grades. Capable and determined whatever Gris wills to do. He can do.
