SCHOLASTIC RECORD OF CLASS OF ' 46 Montgomery Bell Academy is justly proud of the record made in the first semester of college by the class of 1946. There were twenty-six in the graduating class and all twenty-six of them entered college. Since the recommendation grade for college admission is 80 for the senior year, two of the graduates were not recommended. Of the twenty-four who were rec- ommended, eighteen attended Vanderbilt, and one entered Princeton, Beth- el, Tennessee Junior College, Peabody, T. P. L, Sewanee, respectively. The boys took a total of 102 classes and failed only 4 of them, thus making a per- centage of 3.9 failures. This is one of the best records a class has ever made and the school congratulates each and every one of them. The two non-recommended boys took a total of nine classes and failed three. Nine boys who had been in the army or navy entered college for the first time last fall and took at Vanderbilt a total of 33 classes. At Sewanee one boy took 5 classes. Of these 38 classes, there were only 4 failures. This is particularly good in view of the fact that these boys had been out of school for one or two years and getting back into the study routine was very difficult. M. B. A. appreciates the fact that all of its old grads are up- holding the good name of the school and are showing the college authorities that M. B. A. boys are good college material.
