Excerpt from The Milestone, 1930: Published by the Senior Class of Dummer Academy

In every class there is one who, sure of his destiny, goes on his appointed way quietly, surely, untouched by the doubts of ordinary men. Gray is one of those. He comes to his classes in the morning, recites quietly and thoroughly, listens attentively to the words of his instructors, and departs with his allotment of books for the next day's work.

Gray brings with him an air of refinement, of culture, of quiet scholarship, which arouses the respect of his classmates and is an inspiration to his teachers. We think he will not be found in the turmoil and strife of the workaday business world. He will rather seek to live his life in an atmosphere of quiet beauty, of peace and contentment, among people whom he knows and understands. And he will gather about him friends who, like himself, ask nothing more of life than that they be allowed to live it beauti tully.
