AUXILIARY RUTH E. MILLER DEDICATION Realizing- that we are living- in times when every citizen of his country should manifest his patriotism, and realizing that there are members of our school family who are giving their utmost to the war effort, the class of ’44 wishes to make hereby a three-fold dedication. First of all, we dedicate this annual to Auxiliary Ruth E. Miller and Sergeant James C. Simpson, both of whom are graduates and former teachers of Price High School. The former was the first negro woman of Salisbury to join the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps; the latter was the first teacher of our school to enter the United States Army. The class wishes to make its second dedication to the graduating class of ’43, the members of which are leaving us to perform their sacred and patriotic duties on the war front and on the home front. In memory and honor of the first students of Price High School to enter the armed forces, the class makes it third dedication to the following: Jethro Graham, ’43 James Robinson, ’43 Milton Jones, ’44 David McElwain, ’44 Garfield Walker, ’44 Long may our land be bright With freedom ' s holy light Protect us by thy might Great God , our King! £OWAN PUBLIC f Salisbury, n ak W m s«« 0 m ■ ■w a� .

VUVv CSf CLASS HISTORY In September, 1939, ninety-five freshmen stood on the threshold of T • Tx i i n • 11 was very large, it was divided into three groups. Miss Ruth E. Miller, Mrs. A. A. Lancaster, and Miss Marie Weeks were our home-room teachers, and Warren Evans, Addie McKinney, and Doris Littlejohn were elected presidents of these three divisions’ During this year we were represented on the football team by Herman Morton, Oatten Fisher and Jethro Graham. In the oratorical contest Verna Holt won first prize and Mary Davidson won second prize. Jethro Graham became a member of the glee club. The Iota Delta Kappa Society presented a cup to the school and the name of Doris Littlejohn was en¬ graved upon it as the member of the freshman class who had exhibited the most outstanding points in service, character, and scholarship. With these and other events, our first year at Price High school came to an end. When our sophomore year began in 1940, our number had decreased considerably and it was necessary to have only two divisions. Our ad¬ visors were Miss Mildred N. Jordan and Mr. S. W. Lancaster and our presidents were Oaten Fisher and Mitte Lou Smith. A large number our students were in the glee club and more of our boys were on the football team. Our class was represented in almost all the activities of the school. Thus we ended our second year in high school with a little more knowledge. The next year we were proud juniors and conducted ourselves in a dignified manner. We had become wiser and were more serious about our future. Our presidents were Jessie Lee Sloan and Theretha Lowery while our advisors were Miss E. Beatrice Riggs and Mr. J. C. Simpson. Some of our classmates had gone away to seek knowledge elsewhere and several new members joined our ranks, among them were Clarence Lovette, Louise Fowler and Geneva Carson. We had large representations in all the organizations of the school. We worked hard and long and helped to send the Class of 1942 away with flying colors. In September, 1942, we experienced the happiest moment of our high school career—at last we were seniors. Jackie Walker was elected presi¬ dent and Mrs. A. A. Lancaster and Mr. 0. C. Hall were our advisors. Dur¬ ing this year many changes took place in our school activities due to the war situation. Several new courses were introduced into our schedule to meet the war-time needs. Two of our members, Jethro Graham and James Arthur Robinson were drafted into the army. Several new students joined our class at the beginning of the senior year. Josephine Simmons, Catherine Lazenbury, Gladys Carr and Ivester Shuford, thereby enriching our class with their talents and personalities. Doris Littlejohn was elected editor of our school paper, “The Pricean.” David Butler was president of the Hi-Y Club, a large number held places in the glee club, on the foot¬ ball and basketball teams, and in all the activities of our school life. We ended the final stanza of our high school career by choosing as our motto: “Success is our greatest ambition. ’ With this motto as an ideal, the class of 1943 of Price High School is fully determined and resolved to achieve this goal through service and hard work and thereby reflect credit to the school which, in four short years, has given us such instruction and training that will help so much to shape our lives in the future. —DORIS V. LITTLEJOHN. CLASS POEM Farewell, 0 Price Four years we have spent, dear Price, Within thy sacred walls; Obtaining knowledge that will suffice, Preparing to heed life’s calls. Classmates, we have finished to begin Life anew in channels deep; Wisdom and knowledge sustained within, Will help us our vigil keep. Let us sail on the ship of ambition, Land on a successful shore, And all make this our decision: To conquer as we have before. To teachers and friends we must say farewell, Although we regret to part; Sweet memories of days gone by ivill dwell Forever in our hearts. —VERNA EDITH HOLT.

We consider this as a means of paying respect and honor to those we love and appreciate for their association and examples. m J he first activity we engaged in was the contest for “Miss Price.” N eedless to say that Geraldyne Drayne was the winner of the contest. That gave us courage to go through the year with the determination to succeed m every effort. Up to this time we have adequate representation on the kootball, Basketball teams, Glee Club, Crown and Scepter Club, Science Club and Iota Delta Kappa Society. In the War Bond and Stamp Drive we topped the list. During the Tin Can Scrap Drive, Ednora Wilks brought five hundred cans. We also took part in the collection of waste paper.

By MARJORIE ALVERTA JOHNSON 10 A On September 1, 1942, thirty gay boys and girls came upon the grounds of Price High School to continue their second year. All the members of the previous term were not present, for some had moved away, others had decided for various reasons not to return to school. We came this year with the retermination to lead. We chose the following persons as officers: President, Juanita Stewart; Vice-President, Robert Fleming; Secretary, R. Nathaniel Niles; Assistant Secretary, Alice L. Miller; Treasurer, Ollie M. Collins; Reporter, William P. Littlejohn. During the year we have tried to come up to our pledge oi 100 per cent cooperation in everything. Although sometimes we have taned, we have put forth the effort. . . i Each month during the school year, we had special Devotional pio- grams. R. Nathaniel Niles, chairman of the program committee gave us special Negro History, Christmas, Lenten, Easter and Thanksgiving programs. We gave a play entitled “Talk Costs Lives, ait an ass n } program.th e Rgd Crogs War e ff or t we raised a total of $7.50; for Com¬ munity Chest, $4.00.

WILLIAM LITTLEJOHN, Reporter. Vi H 10 B The 10 B class began its year with twenty-eight students. Since that time two have withdrawn but the remainder have been striving very hard to keep up the standard of Price High School. We have made financial contributions to every student phase and activity sponsored by the school. Sometimes these were made with quite a bit of sacrificing on our part. We do not regret, however, the part we played although we admit possibilities of doing more. Most of our students are carrying five subjects which have really kept us busy. We are sorry that our schedule could not have included physical education but as we advance to the next class we will find ourselves a part of that program. The extra-curricular activities in which some of us have active parts are: football, basketball, Glee Club, Beta Mu, Safety Patrol, Student Coun¬ cil, Hi-Y and Social Service Club. We have tried to keep our room attractive throughout the year. Our many kinds of flowers have helped us in this endeavor. In the first part of the school year the following class officers were selected: Harry Chambers, President ' , Esther Nash, Vice-President; Ruby Miller, Secretary; Hiawatha McGriff, Asst. Secretary; Treasurer, Arquilla Pemberton; Reporter, Bernice Thirdgill. These officers have served us faithfully throughout the year and we have tried to co-operate to make our class a success. Mr. S. W. Lancaster is our home room teacher and advisor. —BERNICE THIRDGILL. 4 9 A The 9th A class is composed of a very co-operative group of students.

W e have made our contributions to the Community Chest, Infantile Paralysis Fund and the Red Cross War Fund. We believe that all good citizens contribute to worth while causes. We also believe that all good citizens strive to make community in which they live better. Price High School is oui com¬ munity.

During the latter part of the year our teacher, Miss Ruth E. Miller, was called to active duty with the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps.

The officers are: President - Addie McKinney Vice-President _Jethro Graham Secretary-Treasurer _Nora Lee Bates Advertising Manager _Jackie Walker Student Conductor _Mittie Lou Smith Librarian _Geraldyne Drayne Directress __Miss Marie Weeks The purpose of the Club is to learn to sing and appreciate the music of the great masters and the music of our race. We lost one member of the Glee Club this year, to the Armed Forces of our Country. He was Jethro Graham. To have been able to render various programs at the different churches of our city has been a pleasure to us. We have not done as much as we hoped to do this year, but we hope that the community has gained something from our programs. We did not take part in the Music Contest or the State Festival. These activities were not carried on this year because of the War. Members of the Glee Club who are Seniors and have co-operated and done commendable work with the Glee Club, will be awaided some kind of emblem. AlS members of the Glee Club we also take note of oui stholaiship and character, by trying to make it the best in the school. We have used team work in order to improve our work m music. We have made our contributions to different programs during the school year.

This was done through the use of a postoffice which was directed by the “Crown and Scepter Club.” Our subject for the year was, “Religion in the Lives of High School Students.” For the first time in the history of the Crown and Scepter Club we did not go to Raleigh, North Carolina, due to the gas rationing. A large group of the members in the Club are Seniors who will grad¬ uate, but those who are still members, with the help of our efficient lead¬ er, Miss E. Beatrice Riggs, will try to carry on in a successful way during the coming year. By MARJORIE ALVERTA JOHNSON. -Ui : X. it , rtt • - T ►waffeS-g-Ss SUB-DEB Miss A. M.

For the present year the club has been receiving some very help¬ ful suggestions from our speakers which will guide us in carrying out our aim. We have been co-operative in all school projects in Price High School. A n Th r e Sub Deb Club had charge of chapel one week, at which time Miss A. R. Lowery, Principal of Monroe Street School, addressed us. She stressed the importance of better womanhood during times such as the present. We all hope that during the past school term we have been helpful ex¬ amples for the underclassmen. We who are graduating this year hope that the members that are left and those who will become members will carry on and always keep in mind our motto. By AWILDA BIGGERS. BETA MU m 1 Ifl The Beta Mu Club was organized in 1941, under the leadership of Miss M. N. Jordan, with sixteen sophomore girls as charter members. This year the club is composed of eighteen girls of the sophomore class. The club uses as its motto, “Striving Toward Better Womanhood.” The cardnal puposes of the club are virtuous womanhood, service, and noble ambition. The officers are as follows : President _Lillian Jones Vice-President _Marion Caldwell Secretary _Juanita Stewart Treasurer _Ruby L. Miller Chaplain _Anna Norris Reporter _Bernice Thirdgill Each year the club selects some theme for the year and invites speak¬ ers to address the club in their regular meeting. The theme for this year was Building Character. Much stress was placed on the Defense Program. The club decided not to have elaborate servings in its meetings and save the money to buy war saving stamps. ... In our Chapel program this year the club used uniforms of blue jerkins, white long sleeve blouses, and white skirts. Miss Juanita Staton, teacher of French and English at Dunbar High School in East Spencer was our guest. Miss Iris C. Jeffris Vocational Home Economist was guest at our meeting April 28. Miss Jeffris spoke on the subject Characteristics I Desire in the Man I Marry.” She stressed such characteristics as honesty, unselfishness, character, temperance, and ambition. The club strives to live up to its motto and ideals. —BERNICE THIRDGILL.— 5k. 1 ipiRPSg «£ Vv v- ■ ••: ' V ' «; :. ■ ' ; Pill ■- . . ' ■ ' ■ ' ' : ... • . - ■ . ■ . .

GIRLS IN BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball team put itself in the limelight this winter by winning three out of four games. Because of transportation the season was unusually short, with only one trip and that was to East Spencer. The rteam, under Miss Miller and Mrs. Teamer, consisted of Mary Lee Setzer, Marion Caldwell, Thelma M. Stewart, Lottie Hargrave, Cassie Gibson, Geneva Reid, Esther V. Nash, Lucille Partee, Jacquelyn Stewart, and Addie McKinney, trainer. Price fell victim to Dunbar, at East Spencer in the first game by a score of 21-16. Jacquelyn Stewart scored 12 points. In the second game Price defeated Aggrey Memorial of Landis by a score of 31-6. This one-sided game found Mary L. Setzer, high scorer, with 16 points. The next game was a return one with Landis and the Price girls came out victorious but with a smaller score, this being 13-6. Thelma Stewart scored eight of these points. The final game was played with Dunbar at Spencer and Price added this g ame to their list of victories with a score of 16-13. Although Dun¬ bar threatened continuously they were unable to make their threat good. Thelma Stewart was again high scorer with ten points. The curtains fell after this game but the girls were still anxious to play and would have played in the State tournament if the Association had sponsored one this year. Not one of the players is a senior which makes a very bright out¬ look for the coming season. We want to pay tribute to our Coach, Miss R. E. Miller, who since has become a member of the WAAC and who helped us on to victory for three seasons. By ADDIE McKINNEY. To THE Hl-Y CLUB OF PRICE . __ The Hi-V Club of Price High School was reorganized in the fall of 1942, under the leadership of Mr. 0. C. Hall with the following officers and members: President David Butler; Vice-President, George Gilmore; Secretary, Harvey White, Assistant Secretary, William Purvis Little¬ john; Clinton Jones, Reporter; and Mr. 0. C. Hall, Treasurer. The other members of the club are Arthur Drayne, Nathaniel Niles, James Davis, John Hugh Smith, Ben Trott, Joseph Miller, Roy Leazer, Johnnie Hen¬ derson, Alexander Wiley and Jackie Walker. Later in the year there were several new members added to our group, They are Boyd Walker, Thomas Aldrich, Herman Morton, Robert Hagins, Clarence Jones, James Hobson, George Butler and Oaten Fisher. In a word, the purpose of the Hi-Y Club is service. This purpose is realized in a six-fold program: (1) Service to members, (2) Service to the school, (3) Service to the community (4) Service to the nation, (5) Service to the world and (6) Service to God. Many clubs have built their initiation ceremonies around this principle which is often called the Four C’s: Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Habits, and Clean Scholarship. The Hi-Y Club has made itself felt in the school this year by its va¬ rious activities. It was with much regret that the members received the news that the Older Boys’ Conference had been cancelled this spring due to difficulties in transportation. A large number of our group will gradu¬ ate this spring, but those remaining will look forward to a fine program for next year. CLINTON JONES, Reporter . DAVID BUTLER, President.
