Ed. KEEPSAKE CLAS S HISTORY Four short years ago, fifty-three green freshmen entered Mt. Ulla High School, hoping to accomplish four years of high school work. As seniors, we look back on those first days.in high school and smile, remembering the great task of adjusting ourselves to this new and strange environment. Mr. Eugene Deal and Mr. H. C. Johnson, our home room teachers, helped us start on our way through high school. The following fall we again entered the welcome doors of Mt. Ulla, but not as “‘green freshmen” as we were so often called the preceding year; we, this year, were known as “‘silly sophomores.” Mr. Deal and Mrs. S. H. Price were our sponsors. Eleven lucky classmates had the honor of be- coming members of the National Beta Club. These were, Sara Frances Weast, Frances Thompson, Louise Lentz, Mary Phipps, Wilma Clary, Leona Hall, Jimmy Freeze, Bill Edmiston, Evelyn Lipe, Charlie Hamby; and B. B. Miller, Jr. As jolly juniors, we experienced a happy and exciting year of high school life. Miss Garnette Bowles and Miss Mary Bost, our advisors, helped us entertain the seniors of ’44 at a ball in the spring of the year. Roses on white trellises around the gym, an arched gateway covered with flowers at the entrance and a May Pole Dance by junior girls helped emphasize our theme, A May Garden. Dance music was furnished by the Boyden Barons. Our junior year saw two more of our classmates, Hall Steele and Whitfield Graham become members of the Beta Club. Entering Mt. Ulla as seniors, we found that three of our classmates had left us to serve our country: Grady Corriher and Lawrence Dowell are in the Navy, and Charlie Wagoner is in the Army. Miss Mary Bost is our senior advisor and the officers are, Leona Hall, president; Bill Edmiston, vice-president; Sara Frances Weast, secretary; and Hall Steele, treasurer. For the first time in the history of the school, the Junior-Senior Ball was given at Christmas rather than in the spring, The gym was beautifully decorated in Christmas evergreens, with a large fire-place on one side of the building from which hung filled stockings for every one. The Boyden Barons furnished music for dancing, and also led in singing Christmas Carols. Our hearts were saddened when early in the year of 1945, a message came from the War Department that one of our number, Charlie Wag- ner, was “missing in action” somewhere in Germany. But now the time to part has come, and it is with sadne ss in our hearts that we bid you “farewell” after four successful and happy years. LEonaéA Hatt, Historian. .

Ulla High; Our thoughts will always be nearby, With many thoughts of our teachers so true And of dear old Mt. Ulla High School. As we leave to go our separate ways, We leave the joys of our school days; All that, spun together, made those years, Of hearty laughter, of silent tears. How hard it is to say farewell To the school we have loved so well, But now we bow our heads and sigh, For the time has come to say good-by. Juuian LincLe, Class Poet. CLASS SONG Dear Alma Mater, As the birds raise their tune. For over the hill, Comes the time too soon. No more our good friendships Of scenes we hold so near. In our hearts we'll cherish All fond memories dear. CHORUS Farewell Mt. Ulla As now from thee we part; Farewell Mt. Ulla Farewell to thee. By FRANCES THOMPSON LoutsE LENTZ GERALD BELK FrRaNcCES WEAST CLASS MOTTO “Climb though the rocks be rugged.” PROPHECY Dear Grady, It was surely good to hear from you. What a happy coincidence that you and Lawrence, both ensigns in the United States Navy, one wearing the Navy Cross and the other the Congressional medal, should come_ into New York at the same time. How glad you must have been to see Miss Bost! I knew before you told me that you would find her the same kind, friendly, considerate Miss Bost teaching English at Columbia University that she was when she taught English at Mount Ulla. If ten years ago you and Lawrence were wishing that you could be at Mount Ulla High School for graduation, the class of ‘45 was wishing the same for you. I am glad you asked for a report on the class. I had been. wanting to look them up myself, but had always thought I didn't have time. As soon as your letter came I got busy. I have located every member and have some interesting news for you. Of course you know Bill Edmiston was a Seabee and won many decorations and citations. As soon as the war was over he made straight back to the farm. Every- body expected him to get married at once if not sooner, but so far he is enjoying bachelorhood. The community is very well satisfied, however, for an attractive young bachelor chairman of the Mount Ulla School Board has solved the problem of teachers for Mount Ulla. Katherine Eller, Evelyn Ervin, and Dorothy Safrit are at Renfro Valley. Gerald Belk is at the same place di- recti ng the music. They are getting ready to put on a program at a White House dinner sometime soon. Watch The New York Times for an account. Betty Jean Waggoner and Paul Kistler were married right after the war and went to the South Sea Isles where they have established a big cocoanut farm. The Kistler cocoanut products are already on the market, the best of their kind. Whitfield Graham was chosen Master Farmer of North Carolina last year. He is kept so busy serving on com- mittees and commissions, and making speeches over the state that he is finding it hard to keep his farm up to its high standard. Hall Steele has gone into partnership with his father. Their business has so expanded that Bear Poplar is really a modern looking town now. Hall has a com- munity basketball team that didn't lose a game last season. Wayne White is one of the main players. When he gets the ball he just stoops over and lays it in the basket. Hazel Plyler is girls’ physical director at Mount Ulla High School. Her girls play tennis, volley ball, basket- ball, and almost every other kind of ball. They have won several state championships. The other day I dropped in to see Mr. and Mrs. Rich- ard Gillespie. Richard came to the door looking worn and helpless. His wife, formerly Lizzie Barger, had gone to town and left Richard to cook dinner and take care of Richard, Jr. They say that Richard, Jr. is some ram- sees ihe kid. Nobody but Lizzie can do a thing with im. Carl Basinger is postmaster at Mooresville. He and Elsie have a pretty home just outside the city limits. Louise Lentz is in Philadelphia as secretary of the Luther League of America. Leona Hall (or do you know more about her than I can tell you? Now, honest Grady?) is librarian at Queens, and is also president of the State Librarian's Association. She is as popular as ever, but still has her beaux guessing who the lucky fellow is going to be. Better fly down while you are in New York and. throw your hat in the ring. Sara Frances Weast has been head of the English department at Queens. She is to be dean of girls next year and Frances Thompson is to take her place as English teacher. Leona, Sara Frances, and Frances are looking forward to a happy year in Charlotte. Mary Phipps went to Alaska as a missionary but soon decided she was no pioneer woman and straight- way went to Hollywood to design clothes for the movie MOUNT ULLA, NORTH CAROLINA June, 1945. stars. Wilma Clary makes sketches for her and Evelyn Lipe models. They seem to have a big business. Evelyn is leaving the firm, however, to go on the screen. They have all been married out there a number of times. We long ago lost count. Charles Davis lost all interest in Wilma when she went to Hollywood. He said there was no use trying to make a farmer’s wife out of a Hollywood woman. Addie Mae Odom, Doris Overcash, Sarah Ellen Wag- ner, and Mildred Lineberger joined the Students’ Nurses Corps right after graduation. They are all married and scattered over the U. S. A, Addie Mae is in Maine, Doris in Florida, Sarah Ellen in California, and Mildred on a western ranch. Mildred’s husband tried running the ranch, but he got on her nerves; so she put him to keeping house and she took charge of the ranch herself. It has been going at top speed ever since. Fe ks Lipe is head bookkeeper at Belk’s in Moores- ville. Julian Lingle, Norman Owen, and Doris Comer are in New York. They say you have to look for them around the night clubs. Julian went to New York to seek a lit- erary career after being successful as class poet. He took Norman for business manager and Doris for secre- tary. Doris and Norman visited the Little Church Around the Corner right after they reached the city. From all reports they have been happy ever since. Julian -has been trying to persuade Tommie Nell to come to New York and '‘go around the corner with him to see the same little church.” Charlie Hamby came back from the Pacific with a foreign wife. He wore so many decorations that he reminded me of a picture I once saw of MacArthur. There is one way, however, in which Charlie doesn’t remind anybody of MacArthur—When MacArthur left the Philippines he declared he would return; when Charlie left he declared he would never return. Mrs. Sink has decided that she must stop teaching. She has worked so hard to raise the standard of the science department that she can’t stand to see it go down; so she requested Mr. Cooke to turn it over to Elmer Schenk, Mary Lou McConnel and me. Elmer and Mary Lou will do the teaching, but their classes are going to be so large that they want me to help with the laboratory work. I do wish I could see my way clear to do it, but the farm takes all my time. My Hereford herd has become very large and requires a great deal of attention. Miss Mayhew (You didn’t know her. She helped us publish our Keepsake. We surely did like her.) has stopped teaching. She spends all her time writing high school history text books. North Carolina already has adopted one of her books. Miss Bowles married a millionaire and lives on an estate near Statesville. She is going to have a reunion of our class one of these days. That will be a swell affair. You will have to fly to us then! We still feel like we belong to her, and don’t we hope she never stops claiming us? From the fifth grade on we have felt like she was our friend. I think she was and is. Mount Ulla School under Mr. Cooke’s administration has become one of the outstanding schools of the state. They have student self-government and Mr. Cooke’s only discipline problem is to keep the student council from being too strict and using: too severe punishments. I believe our crowd would get lonesome up there now. They tell me that sometimes the mice run out and play around for a long time in the halls and study rooms before they find out anybody is about. This letter is getting to be so long that I'll have to send it either by freight or by express and I haven't answered all your questions or given you a single one of the many messages the members of ‘45 sent. I shall keep these messages a few days longer hoping that you and Lawrence can manage some way to get a leave long enough to allow you to come down and get them first hand. Cian B. B. MILLER, JR., Class Prophet 1945. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT As the Senior Class of Mount Ulla High School, Mount Ulla, North Carolina, we do leave this the Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1945. Item I. We, the Senior Class, give our parents who have done so much to make our high school careers successful, our sincere thanks. Item II. To our principal and the members of the faculty we leave our appreciation for their euidance and patience in trying to give us more knowledge. Item III.

Miller, Jr., will my excellent grades to Clyde Stille. I, Frances Thompson, leave my innocent blushes to Jean Morris. We, Hall Steele and Whitfield Graham, leave our French books to two Junior boys with the advice ‘Don’t use them so much.” I, Louise Lentz, will my executive ability to Marion Lefler. I, Evelyn Lipe, leave my bus “Ennie” to any Junior girl who can drive it as well as IL. We, Norman Owen and Julian Lingle, leave our ability to get girls to Bobby Cline. We, Leona’ Hall and Mary Phipps, leave our ability to flirt with pictures to Elizabeth Little and: Ruth Graham. I, Agnes Lipe, leave my position as Mr. Cooke’s secretary to my sister Maxine. I, Elmer Schenk, will my quietness to all the Juniors. I, Carl Basinger, will my ability not to stay at home at night to Harry McCall. I, Addie Mae Odom, leave my black hair to Nell Schenk. | I, Hazel Plyler, leave my basketball suit to Peggy Barger. I, Betty Jean Waggoner, will my big mouth to Margaret Rice. I, Sara Frances Weast, leave my eight graders to Margaret Cress and Elizabeth Little (By re- quest. We, Evelyn Ervin, Dorothy Safrit, and Kath- erine Eller, will take all our things and thoughts with us. I, Sara Ellen Wagner, will my hair to Wanda Beeker. I, Lizzie Barger, leave Richard in the care of my sister Peggy. I, Wayne White, leave my ability to get along with Mrs. Sink to Joe Lyerly. I, Charles Davis, leave my ability to get along with Mr. Cooke to L. D. Kerr. In closing, I, the lawyer of the Senior Class of 1945 do hereby affix my signature upon this important document. WHITFIELD GRAHAM Signed, sealed, and attested, on this the eighth day of January in the year of our Lord, nine- teen hundred and forty-five, in the presence of: SarA FRANCES WEAST FRANCES THOMPSON STATISTICS We, the members of the Class of 1945, of Mount Ulla High School, Mount Ulla, North Carolina, do declare the following facts and figures and leave a copy of these with the incoming Senior Classes, so that they may attempt to equal our marks. After much questioning, we find the average boy’s shoe size is nine. Charlie Hamby compares his eight with Wayne White’s twelve. The girls, however, are proud of their small size, the average is six and one- half and seven, after comparing them with the boys’ sizes. The average Senior boy is five feet, eight inches tall, while the average girl is five feet, three inches tall. According to the statistics, the average boy’s weight is 150 pounds, while the girls’ average weight is 120 pounds. After much questioning we find that Louise Lentz and Betty Waggoner do not weigh 100 pounds as yet, but they hope to reach it soon. Upon observing the color of eyes, it was found that the majority of them are brown, but Mary Lou McConnell insists that she has green eyes, and brown hair, but we notice that we do have a few blondes in our room. Most of the members will be strong Democrats according to the statistics, but we will also have some staunch Republicans, says Addie Mae Odom. We have a rather religious group this year with nine Presbyterians, seven Lutherans, eight Methodists, and one Baptist. According to the statistics, the class has chosen as their favorite movie star, Laria Turner and Alan Ladd; their favorite songs, “Always,” and “Don’t Fence Me in.” We have chosen “Red Rose” as our class flower, and as our class colors, Navy Blue with Silver. The class chose as their favorite teacher “Miss Bost,” who is our home room teacher. Now, I have come to the conclusion where there aren’t any more statistics to relate. My only hope is that these statistics will bring back pleasant memories of this bright and happy Senior Class.
