SENIORS The Class of 1952 has witnessed probably the finest era in the history of the Hilltop. This Golden Era, so to speak, started with the greatest year of sports the school has ever known. National Champions at three sports in one year gave the school the name of Home of the Champions. This was truly a remarkable start for the men of '52 but it was not only in the athletic field that we were winning merits. The Freshman Fandango hit the apex of the social calendar and the enrollment broke all records at the University. Joe Kuharich started his build-up program and the Class of 1952 was the core of his plot. The second and third years of our stay in the land of the Don were ordinary years except for wild car parades down Market Street to the City Hall or watching and waiting for the day we could use the Senior Patio. Cappy Lavin was a wonder with the casaba and Bob Thollander was drawing the views of the scouts with his adroitness with a spheroid. Bill Henne-berry was elected Student Body President and all was made in readiness for the big Year. September 1951 came and with it a football team that no other team in the annals of the University could match for ability to win games. This undefin-able quality was typical not only of the team but of the members of the Class of which a great portion of that team was made. May those qualities remain in us, forever!
