G8 Statistics As I sit here with my pen in hand I see in my mind’s eye, Mr. and Miss Mt. Ulla Graduate of ’48. They walk hand in hand, this brown- haired, brown-eyed boy and the brown-haired girl with blue, gray, or is it brown eyes, down the path to the future for which their beloved Miss Heitman helved prepare them. The girl looks up at the boy from her five feet-four inches and one-hundred nineteen pounds, and knows that his agriculture class will help fit his five feet-eleven inches and one-hundred fifty-one pounds into the great outdoor life he loves, while she pounds away on her ever dear typewriter. Even though they are only eighteen, they are thinking of the future and the ®: that will be theirs in shoeing her size six and his size nine feet whic ve brought them so far in the past twelve years. They suddenly become aware of their undying hunger for their very favorite dish of ice-cream. So turning their footsteps to a stand beside road, they indulge also in some other favorites. They hear Harry ames and his orchestra, and is it——but yes, it must be Bing Crosby sing- ing as no one else can, the favorite song of the year, “Near You.” Hear- ing Bing brings to mind the movie they loved so much, Blue Skies, although their beautiful Betty Grable and handsome Joseph Cotton did not star init. Buck Privates Come Home and Duel in the Sun were other well remembered movies along with another star, Van Johnson. Now their footsteps turn homeward where they will both hear their darling Baby Snooks before fluffing the feathers and cotton for a good night’s sleep. Here my picture fades, but in the picture it seems that in Mr. and Miss Mt. Ulla Graduate of ’48, I have seen the characteristics and personalities of all my classmates, which have made me love them and will not let me forget them. Mary L. BENFIELD Statistician
