PALOMAR RATES HIGHEST OF ALL JC'S IN GRADE POINTS Six Paloma r College gr a dua tes, who transfered to one of the University of California campuses' led the state in average grade-points out of all t he junior colleges in California. This report was made by Dr. Grace V, Bird, Associate Director qf the Office of Relati ons with Schoo ls at Berkeley, The six students from Palomar who were included in the report were: Kathleen White, with a 3,00 average (equal to all A's), Elmer Bates, Madelain Dawson, Warner Lusa rdi, Meredith Trow, and Kenneth Walton, The Ge students are attending the University of California campuses at
Berkeley, Davis, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara, "The whole school is proud and happy," exclaimed Dr. Phil Putman, "It means more to me than winning the Jr, Hose Bowl championship, The credit, however, goes to my predecessor and the faculty, many of whom are still with us. I hope we can continue this record." Palomar's graduates' total grade points averaged 1.57, being the highe st. It was • 77 grade-points higher than the lowest J,C, The state-wide average of the 2491 students was 1,20, Grade points were figured by taking the
semester grades of students from one college and averaging them together, A college must have four students gojng to one of the four campuses. Accompanying the report was a letter from Dr, Grace V, Bird, which said in part, "It is such records as yours that deepens the confidence of President Sproul and the University in the junior colleges' programs for university transfer students,"

Mel "Pappy" Hogan Palomar Standout
~cod,
Introducing Mel "Pappy" Hogan, a mighty hunk of man whose major is education and minor P.E.
Prospects for the 1953 Comet baseball squad look very promising, although the graduation and transfering of many veteran sandlotters leave the Comets with only four returning lettermen. This is the opinion of Coach Bill Dae, With the baseball season officially opening at the end of this month, the Comets will have to work very hard to be in shape for their opening tilt. The pitching staff, although inexperienced, will prove to be a great menace to the opposing teams. Coach Dae urges all potential baseball players to be on hand for the opening tryout,
Hogan 1 s hie;h school career was spent at Loveland, Colorado, where he lettered in three Varsity sports, After gr~duating from high school, he enlisted in the Naval Air Corps for four yearsdu~ ing which three of those four years were spent at Mirc.mar. ','/hile stationed at I'liramar, he met and married hi~ very charming wife, Lois, and they later were blessed with a dau-
ghter, He has been married two years now, and says, "I 1 m the proudest father on the campus." Mel is one of Palomar's standouts. He has participated in football and basketball, and plans to play baseball. His biggest pastime here at college is Ping-pong. Pappy also holds 1own a part-time job at a lee al service station.
