. . . that made lcidtvrq at Eollu . The Class of '52, Bolles' twentieth group of graduates, had its start back in September, 1945, when Dickie Hardin, Henry McClellan, Bruce Norman, Neil Presser, and J. B. Waters first set foot on the campus. A little later in the year Bill Richardson brought their number up to six. With the following year nine more joined the Class of '52 and it began to take on some- thing of its present form. Included in these new arrivals were Jack Cowart, Stu Gregory, Wiley Jarrell, Charlie Kern, Squeek Marvin, Pete McCranie, Bobby Paul, Bill Slye, and Jug Wilson. John Dykers, Kayo Foshee, Robert Gryder, H. O. Myerstcn, R. D. Saunders, and Smokey Stover further fleshed out the class when they ioined up in September of 1947. Most of the early founders of '52 had left E Company and joined the Military or Naval units when 1948 saw Jose Abarca, Craig Ellison, Ronald Fowler, and Gene Stapler enroll as Freshmen. By the time 1949 rolled around the Class had begun to go places in athletics, academics, and iournalism and was already pegged as potentially one of the best Bolles has ever turned out. These convictions were strengthened when Bob Davidson, Mike Kenney, Ray King, Oscar Lange, Larry Moshell, Jerry Spragens, and Jim Tyson came in. Last year, 1950, brought thirteen more additions in the persons of Harry Bennett, Bob Brady, Frankie Brown, Bill Brown, David Dobson, Bob Ernest, Dud Johnston, Roy Lang, Scot- ty Manley, Frank Martin, Bill Montgomery, Bill Roll, and Madison Weeks. September, 1952, had the Class up to its graduating strength of sixty with the entrance of Len Bellingrath, Sam Bishop, Powell Brewton, Jose Campos, Val Cathey, Jack Denny, John Dyal, George Hatfield, Paul Herlowski, Dick Jackson, Charlie Mainwood, Andy McCullough, Lou Stark, Mike Tierney, and Alfredo Torres. So it was completed-the Class of 1952. This class probably had more old-timers than any in Bolles' history-boys who have been here five, six, and seven years-and it is, we feel, the better for it. And yet the later arrivals have contributed lust as much in work done and progress made toward a better Bolles. Look at the records-of 1952's athletic, military, naval, and iournalistic achievements-and, most important of all, the fact that this group of sixty has maintained probably the highest academic average for the entire year of any senior class in Bolles history. This is it-the Class of 1952, a class which, as Maior Hooker has said, has made the school a better place because they were here.
