STATISTICS We, the members of the Senior Class of 1947 of Woodleaf High School, do hereby declare the veracity of the following facts and fig- ures and leave a copy of this document with the incoming senior classes so that they may make an attempt to equal our mark. Looking from head to toe we find that the average height of the senior boys is 5 feet, 11 inches, and of the girls, 5 feet, 4 inches. Computing our weights we find a senior boy of average size would tip the scales at 181, while the average weight of the girls was found to be 121 pounds. Upon observation we see that half the class has brown eyes, while the other half has a mixture of grey, green and blue. Again upon observation we find that 79% of the class has brown hair, 10% blonde, 5% red, and 5% black. From toe to heel we find the average size shoe is a 7, with the boys sporting a size 9 and the girls a size 6%. Our statistics show that our class is composed of various religious denominations—the greatest percentage being Methodists and Baptists. Upon investigation we find that June Allison and Guy Madison are the Senior Class’s favorite movie stars with Clarke Gable and Betty Grable as runners-up. Members of the Senior Class must be having trouble with their love affairs as “Heartaches” was voted the favorite song. Looking into the political lives of the students, we find that the majority will be Democrats, although some will not even reveal their party affiliation. Although this Senior Class is one of the brightest ever to be graduated from Woodleaf High, we find that they must be a little on the lazy side since loafing was found to be the favorite pastime. How- ever, in retrospect, we realize that the days spent at Woodleaf High have been among the most happy days of our lives. AuicE Durant, Statistician.
