Pierre Axel Grail, a Roumanian
with an international background, re- ported for duty as French teacher October 24.
The new teacher was born in Weis- baden, Germany, where his father was Roumanian consul-general during the French occupMcy after World War I. His mother is Swedish. His primary education was in France, where he remained until he was four- teen.
In 1937 when he was a student at the International School at Bordig- hera, Italy, ,near the French border, he met Mr. G. B. Lamar. The friend- ship then started ultimately resulted in the present appointment.
The International School, which had been driven from Spain by the Span- ish Revolution, later was forced to move again, this time to Fredericks- burg, Virginia. After spending a sum- mer in Sweden with his father, Grail
rollowed the school to America. Later ne attended school for two years at Sanford Preparatory School, Wil- onington, Del.
When the United States entered the war, Grail rejoined his father in Sweden and began the study of Swedish. He now talks French, Swed- ish, English, a n d Roumanian.
Mr. Grail left Oslo on October 12 aboard the Norwegian ship "Stavan- gerfjord," the first ship to America after the war to carry civilian pas- sengers. The trip was made possible by a cancellation only two days be- fore the ship was due to sail. She was forced to put back to Norway to turn over to the authorities a quisling who had been discovered on board. She finally reached New York on Oc- tober 23, after weathering a hurri- cane and passing within 30 yards of two floating mines.
Grail, whose family name is Ukra- nowski, dropped for obvious reasons, plans to give up his Roumanian alle- giance in favor of American citizen- ship.
In addition to his duties in the French deportment, he is assisting • Rev. Marshall M. Milton in coaching the 130-pound football team.
