n Memoriam Calvin Turner We, the members of the Senior Class, wish to dedicate this page to the mem¬ ory of our beloved classmate, Calvin Turner, who died October 18, 1957. Everyone liked him because he was an affable person with altruistic ways. He joined our class in his Junior Year after attending school at Dunbar High School in East Spencer. He was elected president of the Junior Class and he also served as one of the Student Council representatives. He had a high acumen in art and music; he was very valuable to the band. He was an active member of the F. B. L. A., French Club, Science Club and Hi-Y Club. His desire was to become a minister. He frequently prayed in devotions and in assembly. He was one of the finest personalities in our school. May his spirit remain with us always and serve as a guiding light for all of Price High School.
