ORIGIN OF THE STATE NICKNAME When Carolina was divided in 1719, the south- ern part was called South Carolina and the north- ern or older settlement was called North Carolina, or the Old North State, Historians had recorded the fact that the principal products of this State were “tar, pitch and turpentine,” It was during one of the fiercest battles of the War Between the States, so the story goes,that the column support- ing the North Carolina troops was driven from the field, After the battle, the North Carol inians, who had. successfully fought it out alone, were greeted from the passing derelict regiment with the question: Any more tar down in the Old North state, boys? Quick as a flash came the answer: UNO, ot ability old germs poustha ta) pa ee that so; what is he going todo with it? , was asked. He is going to put it on you'tns heels to make you stick better in the next fight. Creecy relates that General Lee, hearing of the incident, said: God bless the Tar Heel boys, “and from that they took the name, (Adapted from Grandfather Tales of North Carolina by KR. B.

The word Carolina is from the word Carolus, the Latin form of Charles, FIRST SETTLERS Our first settlers were largely from Virginia. Some came from the New England States and others came direct from England. Still others came from the English Colonies in the West Indies. There were small se,ttle- ments of French, German and Swiss. OUR CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNMENT The first constitution of North Carolina was adopt- ed December 18, 1776. This constitution provided for three departments of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. A governor, a secretary, and a council of seven members made up the executive department. he ju- dicial devartment was formed by the General Assembly by the creation of courts and the election.of judges. The constitution was revised:in 1835. The legisiature was to meet every two years, and the members were to be elected for that period, in April 1868 the censticucion was again revised and this instrument with certain a+ mendments is the foundation of the law and government of today. The governor and all other constitutional offi- cers are elected for four year terms. POPULATION North’ Carolina ranks llth among the States in total population, 3,563,174 by the 1940 census.

Mount Ulla High School, it gives me great pleasure to great you and to bid you welcome to our Class Day which msrxs the beginning of our Commencement Seasone It has . been, and will continue to be, a source of great inspiration to us that you have been so ‘genuinely interested in our progress from month to month, and year to year, and that you still care enough to come here at this: time and see for yourselves the completion of our work, and our preparation to commence larger under- takings and higher studies, We ask that you will be lenient and not expect too much of uS, Please let your minds run back to the time when you were just our ages, and looking forward ¢x- pectantly, eagerly, and perhaps halt fearfudly, oo -se6 what life held for you. We, too, are doing what very thing now-- Standing as it were, with reluctant feet, where the brook and river meet. We hope that our ambitions may be realized, and that we shall not be discouraged by the disappointments bound to meet us along the pathway of life. We trust that, looking at the examples of splendid citizenship high courage, real achievement, and integrity and pro- gressiveness, which you have set for us, we, too, shait reach the estate of manhood and womanhood prepared to do for others what you have done so well for us, We want to thank you for coming here today. It meant an effort and the sacrifice of time, .We know you would not have done it if you had been disinterested. And because you care, we shall try to prove ourselves worthy of your continued interest and affections, and we hope that some day we shall build records of which you and the dear school we have known and loved so long, shall be proud.

And they went forth about the Kingdom of Mount Ulla establishing friendship among all of the Chiefs and Tribes. 7. Now, they were called by the name of Freshmen, and were led by Miss Charlotte Shaw and Mr. Harvey Black. In the Kingdom there was a tribe which regarded them with jealousy and enmity. 8, And this tribe was called Sophomore, which means proud and arrogant. . 9. And they were powerful, and would chastise the Strangers in their land whenever one of the tribe of Freshmen might perchance be waylaid, 10%.

And it was a great success with great proceeds for meeting school needs, 4. Wherefore, since great results came forth from our two years' hard struggle, six intelligent natives entered through the Gate of Leadership and Achievement = heltiLo the uRetba- ob, 5. And, there rose up from these six, one that waz called Bill Hall, and he became president of the Club. 6, And every native struggled onward through the promised land leading a well-spent life. ITI, ACTS 1. From the beginning, two years had gone by and now the tribe was called Junior, and verily it was the greatest tribe in the Kingdom, numbering 45 natives, with Miss Jean Lyerly as leader. Ivy Overcash rose to become President; Margaret Anderson, Vice President; pusie Lee Brown, Secretary; Jimmie Miller, Treasurer. Ze Now, there rose up from the tribe a group of struggling fellowmen, who appeared on the stage in Pink Geraniums, . 3. And lo, there were five more natives who passed through the Gate of Achievement and Leadership. and entered into the Beta Club, Lh. And there was a great occasion called the Halloweten Carnival, which brought prosperity to this ee eae 5. Thereupon making it possible for the tribe to have a great celebration, . | 6. There being peace throughout the whol® Kingdom, the Junior tribe called together the Senior tribe for a great foast. : 7, And right heartily did the two tribes feast and make merry. : 8, Wherefore, with much grief did the Junior tribe bid farewell to the Senior tribe which was preparing to leave the Kingdom and set out on the Journey of Life. te ACTS : 1. And it came to pass that the third year went by and the Junior tribe set out upon its fourth year ‘of grace in ‘the Kingdom, with only thirty-three natives remaining, and with Miss Helen Surratt,as adviser; Susie Lee Brown, President; Leonard Upright, Vice President; Margaret Anderson, Secretary; Geraldine Bodie, Treasurer, 2e And now the tribe was called Senior, moaning elder. 3, And the tribe, being older, was indeed verily filled with much dignity and much pride, : 4. Moreover, the Senior tribe was great in -strength and a goodly number of Seniors fought for the Kingdom on the basketball court. 5. And they showed much skill in the performance of The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, ‘ 6, And the tribe did reign well as Seniors, and the fourth year showed much progress mingled with sorrow, for the tribe should soon’leave the Kingdom to journey on along the Road of Life, 7. Now since peace reigned over all the Kingdom there was another great feast called the Junior-Senior Ball, thus showing the love and admiration of the Junior Tribe for the Senior Tribe, 8. And when the time came forthe tribe to pre- pare to leave the Kingdom, thev assembled themselves to- gether and made plans for the departure. 9, And it came to pass that in the fifth month of the year one thousand nine hundred forty-two, the Senior tribe left the Kingdom of Mount Ulla to journey on through Life, to follow the. path which all must tread 10.

Most of us, however, feel we have quite small feet when we look at Bill Halilts size eleven and Leonard Hoffner's size twelve, : “Computing our weight, we find Phil Sloop our heavy weight champion, balancing the scales at La pounds, All of us boys aren't quite so hearty--Leo Peeler tips the scales at the opposite extreme---+i13 pounds, While the girls do not like to admit their Weight, ‘we find after much questioning that their average is 131 pounds, ‘ Upon observing the color of cyes, it wis found that the majority of them are brown, but’since Vivien Leigh made such a hit with her green ones, two of our girls, Hellon Fisher and Celeste Brotherton by name, insist that their eyes are definitely green and choose their Glothes to accentuate the color of their eyes, Looking from head to toe, we find that the average senior boy is five feet, ten inches tall, while the pPiris tip. the beam at. five fest, fopr dineohes,. The average age of the boys is eighteen and of the girls, seventeen. We have at last come to the conclusion that most of our members will be staunch Democrats since there are 25 Democrats and.7 Republicans in the Senior Class, Upon investigation we find that The Lonc Ranger” is the Senior Classts favorite movie star with Tonto as runner up. The Class has proved to bea very romantic-- the Statistician found that I don't Want to Walk With- out You is our favorite song with Clementine taking second place. We find that we are very religious with twelve Methodists, olcven Lutherans, seven Presbyterians, and three Baptist. Now as we bring this documtnt to a close, we leave our’ brilliant minds, dignity, and these facts and figures to an awaiting world, We hope that some day young and old will look upon these statistics and say There are the statistics of the greatest Senior Class that ever graduated from Mount Ulla High School.

Jimmie finished his story by saying that Viola Davis had made her home in the White House where she re- - cently accepted a position as private secretary to the President-of the United States. As the train rolled along, night fell and the stars began to twinkle and shine. The moon was beginning to appear above the majestic mountains, flooding the land- scape with its golden beams. In several nights I should behold the same moon--but a Carolina moon.

VALEDICTORY The burden of my message is farewell. The word farewell has taken on a new Significance in this cay. There are farewells being spoken each hour with untold depth of feeling, It is with nto small anount of teeling that we say farewell to-day, Many a schooi day has come to an end with a jolly good-bye. We have varted for a four months’ vacation glipiy saying, “bye, see you again next fall. But to-day our farewell is of a different nature, When we part this’ time. it 2s.) Pitlel.. 2 toe oe We shall meet as individuals from time to time, but we Shall never again meet as a class in Mount Uila school. And so our farewell is fraught with sadness, “Shouid a tear slip from an eye now and then, please bear wits us, for no like experience has come our way to prepare us for this one, . Farewells always bring to mind memories, As we say farewell to you, Mr. Byers, and the members of the board of trustees we are mindful that you have laid the very foundations for this hour, You have planned and labored for us and to you we owe our most hearty thanks for the privileges we have enjoyed here. Many outstanding improvements have been made during your leadership. At times we have accepted them thoughtiess- ly, but as we look back ‘on the Mount Ulla that’has been and. compare: ‘it with the MountsUila thet is8, we ere grateful to be the graduates’of 19h2, Members of the faculty, you have indeed been our best fricnds in the years that are past. ‘Through (our years of training you have guided our thoughts and act- ions. We know at times we have done those things which we should not have done and said things we shouid not have said. Novw we leave with only kind thoughts toward you and deep appreciation for what you have done for us, Particularly do we ieave with fond memories of you, Miss Surratt, for you have been very patient with us as you have guided us in all of sur special activities during the year, Friends of the undergraduate classes, your day of graduation is -yet to be, We can appreciate your thoughts and feelings, for we have experienced what each of you..iS experiencing 9 Loday oe Vor wscerno ue wily appreciate ours. You do not know how difficult 1t is for us to say farewell, However, in leaving you we have ho misgivings for your remaining years in Mount Ulla for we know that we are leaving you in capable hands, Not only must we part from our principal, our teachers, and our underclassmen but we must part from each other. Most vivid among our memories are those which pertain to our relationships as classmates, We have lived together’in a closer relationship than one might casually think, From four to eleven years we have g22 Sr he Shared our thoughts as we have worked side by side in common interest. We know each other's strength; we havs also learned the weaknesses, .AS years pass, many of these memories will fade out, but some will linger with us as long as we live----pleasant memories, most of them will be, : ; As we step from this threshold, some into other schools, some into work, I should like to remind you of our class motto which is also the motto of our dear Old North State - To be rather than to seem , Such a motto seems quite fitting in times like these. Our country needs fewer superficial citizens and more citizens of Sterling worth, Wherever we go, whatever we do, let us remember “to be rather than to seem to be.

And the Lord had finished Paradise And had left over a great big slice, B B So he took this slice of choicest earth And North Carolina had her birth, Beneath the rays of the setting sun, Silver He poured where the rivers run, And woods He made of gold and green’ With fruitful fields set in between, And crystal lakes and purple hills And purling brooks and rippling rilis, And then He took his finest dyes And painted our opalescent skies, Then over this sister of Paradise He scattered birds and butterflies And myriads of flowers and heavenly hues And wet them with celestial dews; And. then Hersatd.)

After several weeks of campaigning we ended a most succéssful contest resulting in. the é¢lection of Ivy Overcash, senior, as kigg-and Pegey Lowrance, a first grader, as-queen, The winners were crowned during the carnival with’.a colorful cornation in keeping with the Halloweten spirit, We were proud’ that the Junior Class candidate for queen, Naomi. Horten,; ran a close second, ‘ | To - further --our new isocial life, thewentire class had a party in the gymnasium during the Christmas hol- idays. sSquare-dan¢ing was the feature entertainment during the evening. Then came the event of events, the night of nights- -the Junior-Senior Ball. -At 8:00 P. M. on April 17, a- bout 120 Seniors, JUMLOrs, Paculty remembers eracde pars ents, and school trustees assembled in a beautifully and timely decorated gymasium. The Spirit. of America theme--featured a mammoth flag of crepe paper which covered the entire ceiling of the gymnasium. Flags in formation also lined the sides, A typical army scene complete with camp and canteen formed the background. Service uniforms worn by the representatives of lower classes added atmosphere to the occasion as they issued stamps for the rationing of refreshments from the camp canteen, The Carter School of Dance delighted the gusgts with their spectacular floor show, We shall never forget those enchanting hours of dreamy dancing to the music of Robert Mann and his Ore chestra. under Old Glory as it rippled gaily overhead, And so ends our year aS juniors. Because we have enjoyed it so much,we are reluctant to give it up and even towecome “Digenified Seniors.” But Since itemise be, our hope is that the rising Junior Class may have as great happiness and success a s we have had in our short year. | --Sarah Barringer = JUNIORS Barringer, S.
