Phil Grandjean was bprn in
Windsor, Canada, and lived in
Canada in his adolescence, but

entered High Point high school
as a senior. Miss Bulwinkle re
members him as a student and
also recalls that he took a leading
role in the Senior Play, as Byroti
his younger brother is going to
do this year.
Grandjean flew home for his
five day leave and in commenting
on the war, thinks that it will last
a long time. He is first lieutenant
in his regiment, the Essex Scot
tish, and he has been for the re
cent past training troops at Camp
Borden, Ontario, Canada.
Two years of his college educa
tion were at Duke University and
his college education was finish
ed at Queens in Canada, where
he was active in boxing and
wrestling.
Phil Grandjean is at present 24
years old and is vitally interested
as we all are in the outcome of
the war. Grandjean thinks he
will see action sometime in the
near future. He has also almost
completed three years in his ma
