1952
Truman's final year
1952 is the year following 1951 and preceding 1953.
Like any year, it functions as a noun marking a point in time born in 1952, the election of 1952 or as an attributive modifier a 1952 Chevrolet, 1952 prices.
Years are cardinal numbers but behave distinctly—never taking articles or pluralizing in their primary use.
