I am the class agent for the 1951 class. I sent a message from the Academy that I forwarded to the 109 classmates and 9 widows that I have on my email list the bell ringing video from the 2009 class with the pass rate of a little over 80%. I was the deluged with emails inquiring how our class rated. Some believed that at least 80% passed, most felt that it was greater.
After some research I have come up with the following figures. In 1951 there were graduating classes in both June and December. The following figures are for the June class only.

1. There were 173 in the June 1951 Class.
2. 160 graduated on June 21, 1951.
3. One was in the hospital.
4. Three were held back from the graduation ceremonies for some type of punishment incurred for celebrating their passage of the exam.
5. Four graduated early in June 1951.
6. Five failed the exam and subsequently passed and were graduated within six weeks.
7. Four of the five classmates who failed have now taken their final voyage.
8. There was no bell ceremony after we took the exams.
9. Therefore the official USCG pass rate for those of us who took the exam the first time was 97.11%.
