Holmes award for the student who best combined athletics and scholarship in 1951, and was named to Who's Who in Amer- In '52, he merited the Louisiana Public Accountant* Award for the highest fouryear average in accounting and related subject!, and in the same year received his BBA degree in accounting, finishing second in his class.
