At thG bGginning of tho SGCond somostor wg grGGtGd 30 studGnts who passod tho statG Gxamination and WGro promotod to our class. Their advisor was Mrs. Simmons Sutton. We pushed forward seeking higher knowledge. At the end of the school term we adjourned for our summer vacation. On entering our second year at Price High School, we found that eight of our classmates did not return. They were Lois Adams, Alfonso Evans, Florine Barnes, Doris Hall, Sallye Trott, Margarita Jenkins, Gloria Davidson, and Rezina Brown. However we were very happy to organize under the supervision of our teachers of the latter year. Our presidents for that year were Eleanor Stewart, Steveson Gil¬ more, and Felecia Thompson. In the middle of the term Charles Sharpe was pro¬ moted to the eleventh grade. This year we had students represented on the football team, Glee Club, Dra¬ matics Club, Math Club and many others. Maiy L. Kerr won second prize in the Fire Prevention Essay Contest. We were pleased with our achievements and had a desire to continue climbing the ladder of success. Thus, we ended our sophomore year. Our junior year found us striving to reach our long sought for and worth while goal. Our advisors were Mrs. Wetonah Walker, Mr. S. W. Lancaster and Miss Viola Taylor. Our presidents were Albert Reid, Mary F. Weathers and Felecia Thompson. We were 88 in number. On entering school we found that many of our schoolmates did not return. Jessie Rudisill, Onnie Ellis, Theodosia Morrison, and Marian Hall entered school elsewhere. Ossie Wansfey, Ollie Tatum and Viola Smith were among those who did not return. Very unfortunately, Andrew Mitchell and Costella Mc- Knight died. However, we had four new students to join us. They were Annie R. Parks, Lillian Colson, Mar Bell Stinson and Simi Colson. This year, Dorothy Howell was crowned “Miss Price” at the annual homecoming game. Joelene Pryor won first prize in the Fire Prevention Essay Contest while Minnye Littlejohn won first prize in the Oratorical Contest. Finally the year was ended. Finally we found ourselves Seniors. Yes, dignified, sophisticated and of course, Superior Seniors. We were joined by fourteen people from the Veterans and night school classes. Those from the veteran class are Harry Fisher, Geroy Fisher, Rayford Graham, Frank HeiHg, Robert Phillips, Jacob Poe, Samuel Ross, Calvester Turner, E. V. Venson, Theodore Rosenborough and Lionel Rippy. Those who joined us from the night school are Mrs. Mae Troy Smith, Miss Jessie Torrence and Mrs. Ethel Clifton. The most exciting event of the year was the winning of the “Miss Price” title for our candidate, Viola Hargrave . The dock of graduation is now in sight with all of us eagerly anticipating the anchoring of the ship. For some, education will continue, for others various respon¬ sibilities lie ahead. Whatever our destination we will remember that continuous preparation is necessary, if we desire to maintain our present standard of ambitious, cooperative girls and boys as we have been in the most delightful, entertaining, well used High School Days. Class Historian, JOELENE PRYOR Veterans Bricklaying Class of Price High School The Veterans bricklaying class of Price High School began on November 16, 1947, -with an en¬ rollment of 24, but until now we have only 16 to complete the course. r The purpose of the class was to take a course in bricklaying under the instructions of Mr Royd Wilkins. This course required related subjects which were given by Mr. L. H. Hall, Mrs. Victoria Sutton and Mr. William Miller. j -cai The course was to run for 18 months, five days per week and five hours per day. We started the course by learning the use of tools such as trov c-1, brick hammer, jointer and ruler. We also learned how to mix mortar and what proportions to use on various kinds of work. After we were able to master all kinds of tools, we began constructing wcalls, pillars and piers in a simple form. Week after week it was constant practice building up ami tearmeg down until we were able to meet the requirements of the course. Much cf cur work has received public recognition to the extent that on the thirtieth of May our float won first prize in the parade. We have done work for the City Schools of Salisbury which gave us practice and wonderful progress. Our Dear Old Price (Tune: Happiness”) Though the years we’ve spent with you Are telling us that we are through, We will keep on loving you, Our dear old Price. Treasuring our memories. Doors unlocked with just two keys. That of knowledge and of deeds. Our dear old Price! Four years ago we knew We had this to look forward to. But now we are blue For we now must bid you adieu. We are happy and we’re blue; Happy for we’ve much to do; Blue because we’re leaving you Our dear old Price! MARY LOUISE KERR CLASS FLOWER CLASS COLORS White Carnation Maroon and Gray MOTTO By Faith and Couragey We Conquer The End Of The Day As we come to the end of our day And we gaze on the sun’s waning ray. We think of happy hours and of lessons; And our minds seek for words of grateful expression. Four blessed years we have struggled hard, Yet the grounds and the halls our feet have trod Seem far too sacred for us to leave. And our thoughts of going cause us to grieve. Now as we leave these halls of fame. We shall always cherish thy great name. We shall try to live as we have learned, And for greater sei’vice strive to yearn. For Price, and for race, and for country too; For Fathers and Mothers whose prayers have come true; We shall go forth to do our best That others may strive to stand life’s tests. MILDRED ROSS CLASS PROPHECY The years seem to have flown very rapidly by and the class of 1949 has reached it ' s destination, time stands still. Before us is a bright and huge crystal ball, gotten from a very old Arabian fortune teller.

May God ' s riches and blessings rest on you one and all.

To our principal, Mr. O. C. Hall, and to our homeroom advisors, Mrs. Lancaster and Mrs. Sutton, we are especially indebted. You and all of our other teachers can rest as¬ sured that your efforts have not been in vain. THANK YOU PARENTS We, the members of the graduating class of 1949, real¬ ize the sacrifices of our parents during our twelve years of school life and wish to hereby thank our parents for everything. Probably more than anything else we appre¬ ciate your never failing faith in us. Our prayer is that this faith may be triumphantly rewarded, that our lives may be a blessing to you dear parents and to our country. PRrNCIPAL A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS The publication of this year book is only a slight indication of the possi¬ bilities and potentialities of the members of the class of 1949. You have, during the past four years, been exposed to many advantages and facilities which we hope will prove beneficial to you in many ways in the days which are to come. The extent to which you will be able to succeed will depend very largely upon your own attitude and your own efforts. May you strive always to do your best at whatever task is assigned to you—remembering always that anything worth doing is worth doing well. We hope that the training you have received at Price High School has been sufficiently comprehensive to help you to adjust yourselves to life’s situations whether you will attend college, work in homes, in industrial plants, or other vocations. May you never be ashamed or afraid of work, and may you blend yourselves into situations which are inducive to whole¬ some living and productive service.

ACTIVITIES Price Sport News for 1948-49 By PERRY LEAZER Cheerio and hello to all Red Devils and Devil fans. This is Perry Leazer your commentator speaking to you in praise of your devilish accomplishments. In the latter part of August and the earlier part of September through the Saturday after Thanksgiving there is something that sticks to us like the ringing of the morning and evening bell. It’s the sound of cleats pacing on the gridiron turf and the well kicked ball. To see the Coaches correct one of his prize pupil’s mis¬ takes, to see the trainers with their kits of bandages and tape and other necessary items to begin pre-work on an injured player—all these sights and memories spell football. During the 1948 football season the Red Devils compiled a record of four wins, one loss, and one tie. The Devils finished the season with all the statistics in their favor. They piled up 1,270 yards in rushing, 429 yards in passing, 59 first downs, and a kicking average of 35 yards per kick. Steve Gilmore and Albert Reid were selected by their teammates as the most outstanding players of 1948. Gilmore along with Charles Kirkland served as co- captains of the team. Gilmore also led the team in scoring with 29 points, followed by Terry Lawz and Julius Rippy with 18 points apiece. The years of 48-49 will be remembered as one of the most successful years of athletics at Price. Miss Viola Hargraves, a senior, was elected “Miss Price of ’48. She resigned at the homecoming game with Siler City which the Devils smothered 59-0. “Miss Price” was attended by seven beautiful attendants who were: Martha Wilkins, Betty McKinney, Joyce Carson, Frances Henry, Patsy Hunt, Marian Sharpe, and Lilhan Day. All dens, camps, tents, cities, states, and governments have a head man. For over 14 years Mr. S. W. Lancaster, director of athletics, has served as “Chief Devil” of the den. Mr. Lancaster and his teams of Red Devils have brought many laurels to the school in sports. Among some of the prize catches of the Devils during Coach Lancaster’s reign up until ’49 are six Western Championships; the teams played for the State Championship three times, won it twice. The Devils have lost but two home games during Coach Lancaster’s reign. The Devils have won well over 100 games and haven’t lost but nine during Coach Lancaster’s stay. Your com¬ mentator would hke to take this opportunity to congratulate Coach Lancaster on .such a fine record. Hats off also to Coach A. E. Koontz, veteran in her own right of many basket¬ ball games at Price and Livingstone and holder of five state and one national tennis trophy. As a girl mentor we think she is tops and although at this broadcast the season is about half over, we are proud of Coach Koontz’ lassies. Leaving our courts as seniors are Martha Kerr, Maxine Hoover, Maxine Ormond, Dot Wilson, Martha Wilkins, Marjorie Fowler, and Joelene Pryor. Here’s hoping they’ll continue the fine sportsmanship in life that they’ve shown at Price. Baseball and track both have had successful years at Price. My fire is getting redder and I see a greater future for them. Until another time—who knows when—I’ll be signing off. It’s been a pleasure to commentate on such grand commentations. Keep it up. K. P.

CAFETERIA MEMORY PAGE Beloved of classmates, schoolmates and faculty, Andrew Thomas Mitchell died Sat¬ urday, January 24, 1948. He was an active member of the following clubs: Science, Crown and Sceptre, Mathematics, K.P., Safety Patrol, Dramatics, Glee Club and Band. He was an exemplary student, a courteous gentleman and, all in all, a rare personality. In memory of our late classmate, Costella Elizabeth McKnight, born August 10, 1930; died July 6, 1948. Obedient, hap¬ py, agreeable, neat, friendly, helpful, Costella was loved by all who knew her. She early learned how to get along with people and was a pleasant influence in our school. Member of Student Council, Safety Patrol, N.H.A. In memory of Mrs. L. Sujette Smith who died Decem¬ ber 9, 1947. Mrs. Smith was a devoted mother, a conscientious teacher, a faithful church worker, an interested and loyal patron of all civic enterprises for the uplifting of her race. Her residence was the home of many students who came to Salisbury to attend Price High School and Livingstone College. Like the organ of her church, dedicated to her memory, Mrs. Smith ' s life was an instrument of beauty and inspira¬ tion.

I find everyone raving about the senior class, saying that it is the largest and most remark¬ able class ever to enter the doors of Price. Let me tell you about our class. We found that Joelene Pryor was the most outstanding person of the class. The majority of the class is seventeen years of age. Doris Peaks represents the minority. She ' s just fifteen. Okay, Dot, I know I ' m in the same bracket . . . William Graves and Ira Mosley represent the midgets in our class while Richard Sherrill represents the giants. Surveying the food line, fried chicken and mashed potatoes were very popular. ' The favorite cafe turned out to be no other than Club LaCaRa. We all love Beechnut Gum. Martha Wilkins prefers Bubble Gum. The favorite candy was definitely chocolate. Martha Kerr cast her vote for all-day suckers. They last longer, she says. The majority of the class use Lux soap. Rpse Lyerly wanted to be different, so she uses Duz. She says Duz does everything. Everything, Rose ???? All Seniors like basketball for the favorite sport. Frankly, I prefer ping-pong. The best-liked classes were the Glee Club, Physical Ed., and Study Hall. Walter Evans voted for the English Class. We quickly called the doctor for fear he was sick—but found him normal—which is very unusual. Nevertheless, English and Negro History were voted as the most interesting subjects. When we walk up to a magazine stand, we always ask for Seventeen or Junior Miss. Albert Reid buys them too. Says he ' s studying photography, but we know better. The be-boppers selected Long Gone as their favorite boogie-woogie while the smooth dancers chose— It ' s Too Soon to Know. The majority of the class are Methodists. The other major groups are Baptists and Presbyterians. Rugus Hobson is expected to be the minister of the class. Walter Evans is our pianist and Dorothy Howell our vocalist. What a revival team they should make!!! A combination of maroon and grey led by a majority vole in the colors while shoes with crepe soles did likewise. The white carnation was the favorite flower. Among my classmates, they will in the future be: housewives, business men, teachers, nurses, artists, secretaries, farmers and musicians. Taking all of this into consideration, I ' m sure you will find no class more wonderful than ours. We have various likes and dislikes, as you can see, but we live a wonderful life. After reading this, may you forever remember us. With great pride and honor, I affix my signature to this report on this the first day of February in the year one thousand, nine hundred, forty-nine.
