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

Class History of 48 1948—The year of our graduation. This is what all of our long, hard years in school have led up to. Let me take you back a few years, back to the year 1943 when fifty- eight young students started their last five years of school work. Happy and carefree were we, but we were soon put into our places by Mrs. Longest and Mr. Gore, our leaders for the year. We then adjusted ourselves and stepped forth into high school. Here we were stamped green freshmen, but we proved worthy of being called Mt. Ulla High students. This we owe partly to Mrs. Bain Sink and Mrs. Barnhardt, our most helpful leaders. Basketball was our chief interest this year since nine of our girls and five of our boys made the teams. On to the tenth where we were branded with a new but still unwant- ed name, “Silly Sophomores.” Our leaders this year were Miss Mayhew and Miss Bowles. Six of our classmates had the honor of becoming mem- bers of the National Honorary Beta Club. These excited students were: Henry Edmiston, Mary Benfield, David Knox, Narvie Lee Bonds, Dor- othy Payne, and Jimmy Horton. The eleventh grade saw us branded “Jolly Juniors,” and jolly we were. With Miss Rutledge as our leader, we sprang forward into our work for the year with our class play and Junior-Senior Prom leading the list. Much fun and hard work were put into these. Now as dignified seniors, our number decreased to twenty-four, we come to the parting of the ways. We have reached the hard-sought-for goal with success, much of which we owe to our splendid faculty and our leader and advisor, Miss Heitman. Our school days are now over; we say good-bye and hope that future seniors will have years as full and rich as ours. ELLA LEE CLARY Historian
