re: I found some UGA yearbooks from 1947-1950 and thought the board might like some pictures

As a matter of fact, many college students around the South in the 50s were actually approaching their late 20s or early 30s as many were attending college on the GI Bill. This was true of my grandfather and all of his friends who went into the army straight out of HS and then attended school thereafter. Also explains why so many men were older than women in some marriages as these mid to late 20 years old men were meeting marrying sorority girls in their early 20s

You're right. That's exactly right. I had family who went to college on the G.I. Bill after WWII and Korean and even Vietnam who played ball in their late twenties.
