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,"
