XM., SENIIIH ELI-155 HISTIJHY The Class of 1950 was born a few short years ago when a small boy named Charles Clark cried a little as his mother left him, confused and bewildered, on the Bolles Campus that bright September morning in 1943. Charlie, however, wasted little time in tears. He knuckled down with the Stern determination of an aggressive lad facing the complexities of the sixth grade, and, thereby, set a pattern. That pattern has been one of successful accomplishment. N 51 VT,-Q' J' i glial-W6 The following year saw him proudly explaining the ropes to Canaday, Folsom, Mal- lory, Tommy Taylor and Bubba Williams who were being initiated into the problems which arise in the seventh grade. Stalwarts all, they fell in with the pattern and began the develop- ment of a sense of leadership and responsibility that was to come into full bloom in later years and make the Class of 1950 outstanding in the annals of Bolles. By 1946, the year which found our Class Founder in the first year of his high school career, he and his cohorts were reinforced by the arrival of such stout fellows as Atkins, Ball, Ben- bow, Bliss, Borland, Carr, Deacy, Hugh Gregory, McCall, McLeod, Mahorner, Newton, J., and Roy Sheppard. Now the Class was, indeed, firmly established. Now the record began to show more than mere promise. Even as freshmen this Class of 1950 indicated outstanding ability and definite leadership in many and varied fields. On through the Sophomore and junior years our story runs. More members - more suc- cesses. Anderson, Pete Alexander, john Andrews, Boyd, Brice, Crosby, Hudson, Huguelet, jones, Love, McCarter, Manos, Roy Newton, O'Hara, Paulsen, Rushton, Scott, Danny Smith, Lin Taylor, Turner, Vaughn, Venable, Waters, Wilder, jimmy Williams and Raul Zelaya were now in our ranks, and serving as welcome additions to our list of veterans. By the end of its junior year, the Class of 1950 had stamped itself indelibly on the pattern that had been faintly etched back in those early years. On the athletic field, in the classroom and in mili- tary and naval activities the pattern became more and more vivid. Boasting membership in the Student Council, the National Honor Society, the B Club, th'e Quill and Scroll, and all other student organizations the Class had well established itself. The final year, that fateful year, the great year arrived, and with it several new members joined our ranks: Ackley, Bell, Chappel, Clayton, johnson, MacDonnel and Vince Walker. The Class of 1950 has worked as a unit for the last time. The pattern is complete. We have done our best, and now we part. Next year will find us scattered, but, with our depart- ure, this Class of 1950 becomes a spirit and a tradition. We trust that our record will be an ever present inspiration for succeeding generations for many years to come.
