STATISTICS We, the members of the Senior’ Class of bs ore Mount Ulla High School, Mount Ulla, North Carolina 4u hereby declare the veracity of the following facts ana figures and leave a copy of this document with the incoming senior classes of this institution so that they may make an attempt to eaual our mark, Starting from the ground and going up, we find that we seniors are very well planted as the boys break sll previous records since their average shoe size is nines, The girls, however, have more dainty feet,‘as their average is only six and ‘one-half. 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 Miller, Statistician ev . «ft
