Class Poem Now we must leave you, dear Price High; Our hearts are breathing with a sigh. We have to leave you, as you know; But we ' ll praise your name wherever we go. We ' ll walk new roads as we go ' long; Our hearts will sing a different song. We ' ll always strive to do our best; To show that Price can pass the rest. We thank our many teachers dear; Who worked with us through smiles and tears. Dear principal, we ' ll thank you too, For all the work you ' ve had to do. We must go on; we cannot stay; We must go on to future days. To classmates we will say adieu . And to our school mates, we love you . Together we will say goodbye; Goodbye to you, O dear Price High. Your precepts we shall e ' er uphold; Until we reach our final goal. MOLLY ALEXANDER CLASS COLORS CLASS FLOWER Pink and Blue Pink American Beauty Rose CLASS MOTTO The best is the key to success Class Song Tune: The Twelfth of Never Words by Joyce Ellis and Lallage Oglesby Price High, we hate to leave you, but we must part; We ' ll miss the toiling teachers who struggled with such art; And to our dearest classmates, we bid you adieu. And after graduation, we ' ll still be loving you. And as we travel upward and try to succeed, May God forever bless you and keep you safe indeed. We hope that you will remember the thanks we give to you. And after graduation, we ' ll still be loving Dear Price we hate to leave you, but we must part; We ' ll miss our friends and loved ones. Who struggled with such art; We ' ll miss the clubs and projects and things we loved to do, But most of all, dear Price High, we ' ll all be missing you. Chorus : W,e shall meet, maybe again someday; We shall meet, hand in hand along the way.

Class Prophecy Our erudite scientists, Theodore Ross, Emmett Rippy and Jimmy McCorkle, have just come from the dark room at Price. Unknown to the teacher of photography, these boys have invented a ma¬ chine that after taking one ' s picture, writes down what the future holds for him ten years hence. As might be expected, McCorkle, with his suave, persuasive, jiving manner, has succeeded in get¬ ting a picture of each of the seniors. Rippy has the recorded statements and Ross has secured a copyright for the invention, which is now called the mac-rip-ro-graph. Here is the report. Listen (or read) for after today you will pay to get this information. James Hawkins, business manager of Mac-rip-ro-graph, Inc., is a hard business man. His motto is: Busi¬ ness is for profit and profit is for me. Here is the report which Hawkins showed to me after payment of $500.00: Charles Partee, James Wheeler, and Charles Hardin, known as The Happy Harmoneers, are engaged for the summer (1968) at the Apollo Theater, New York City. While not on tour, Charles Partee plays the stock market on Wall Street. Jannett Scott is model for the Sight-Savers Eyeglass Company of which Joe Patterson is president. James Martin is the star player of the New York Knickerbockers. His personal trainer is Dr. Robert Ervin. My, my! Basketball must really be bruising these days to require a full-time M.D. William McConneaughey is the team ' s publicity agent. The news is sometimes late for Butch still doesn ' t know what promptness and punctual¬ ity mean. Robert Johnson is working with Ringling Broth¬ ers at the concession stand. My, how he loves that job. His wit and noise have paid off, for he owns a 1968 Imperial and his chauffeur is Robert Massey. Johnsie Lyerly and Cora Hart have organized a girls school. Teaching with them are Ora Rob¬ ertson, Evangeline Salmon and Betty Fant. They emphasize homemaking, dancing and art. Lloyd Yarborough is now editor of the Pitts¬ burgh Courier. This is now a world-famous daily and its success is due largely to the staff of beauti¬ ful secretaries. James Weddington is coaching baseball at Price High School. George Goodman is the rich owner of Good¬ man ' s Department Store for Men. His slogan is The man worthwhile is the man in style—Buy at Goodman ' s . As head of the dep artment of French at North Carolina College, Aljosie Baker has made a great reputation. Because she is small, many of her students address her as Mademoiselle , which she promptly changes by telling them: Non, Madame— . Can you guess what follows that title? Guess who ' s leading the Annual Easter Parade in New York City? Yes, it ' s that jack-of-all-trades, Charles Miller. He ' s the top drum major in America. In Orangeburg, S. C., I see my friends Curtis Atkins and Leroy Douglas laying brick; that is, they are laying brick on a scaffold so that the mason can reach them. At the local cafe, an all-girl band is appearing, Sarah Leach and Elaine Connor are the leading saxophonist and trumpeter, respectively. The star vocalist is Dorothy Aldrich. In California, we see that San Quentin has a new warden, Thomas Steele. Some of the in¬ mates are, oh, oh, too much static. The Mac-rip- ro-graph hesitates to divulge this. Moving on, we see Milady ' s Fashion Center owned and operated by Barbara Smarr and Alice Tate. Among the best dressed customers are Doris Wilson and her good friends, Dorothy Koontz and Deborah Abel. In Hollywood, we see Evelyn McClain and Mary Wilkins (Mary uses her maiden name even though she ' s married to ????) They are currently appear¬ ing in that Oscar-awarding picture, The Young Kittens . •Their leading men are Leroy Woods and Rich¬ ard Walker, who have stuck together through thick and thin . Appearing at the Hollywood Bowl is that fa¬ mous contralto soprano, Joyce Ellis, accompanied by Lula Belle Norman. The leading gossip columnists of this era are Cletus Gibson and Rachel Gaither, who have re¬ placed Walter Winchell and Hedda Hopper. Giving piano lessons in Baltimore is Yvonne Standifer. Her child proteges are the daughters of the former Nell Wilson and Marselene Smith, respectively. Teaching laboratory technology at Meharry Medical College is Janie Morris. Among the top models in the country are Gwendolyn Ford and Marian Ross, who own and operate the Fo-Ro Modeling Agency which hires girls from all parts of the world. Their main office is in Paris, France. It is located alongside of Ada Burch ' s beauty salon. Ada ' s hair creations are ad¬ mired and respected on both sides of the Atlantic. Price Brown, one of America ' s top electrical engineers, recently received the Nobel Award for his outstanding contributions to mankind. His most famous project was wiring the rocket which reached Mars. It has not returned as of yet. Could something be wrong with the electrical wiring? I must compose myself, I must rid my¬ self of these preposterous thoughts. Nothing could possibly go wrong, or could it????? The most popular panel show today is Fort Knox Can Be Yours . Appearing on the panel are Helen Agnew, Shirley Harris, Henry Jordan and LaFrieta McMullen. The positions pay $250,000 annually. Molly Alexander is the new Sapphire on the Amos and Andy Show . Leonard Graham is the new Kingfish. Assistant to the president of Tuskeegee Institute is Frank Goodrum. On his administrative staff are Lallage Oglesby and Mary Brotherton. Appearing on the Lyceum Series there is Cora Robertson, Fulbright Lecturer. Receiving the raves of Time and Business Week magazines is Jerome Ingram, Commercial Artist. In his spare time he does family portraits; his most famous being a portrait of the Thelma Cole-Melvin Reid Family. Recently, Beatrice Lowery, Agnes Partee, and Elizabeth Pearson landed teaching contracts at their Alma Mater. Currently Price High School teachers get $10,500 a 9ear. In Salisbury we also see George Smith and Elsie Ragan, who are business partners. Among their many business ventures is Rock and Roll Taxi Company. Their motto is, Shake well before using . Their taxis certainly corroborate their motto. And now what happened to A. T. Turner? He is a famous lawyer. He has won several nation- ally-known cases. As a prosecuting attorney he has proved that crime does not pay if Turner knows about it. He lectures at public schools weekly in order to decrease juvenile delinquency. ARTHUR TURNFR

The Statistician ' s Report I, George Goodman, statistician of the Class of ' 58, will hereby attempt to give you a summary of the idiosyncrasies of our class. Most of us will graduate at the tender ages of seventeen or eighteen with the exception of Rob¬ ert Johnson and Curtis Atkins who have lost track of their ages, and Agnes Partee who is only six¬ teen. Thomas Steele, Robert Ervin and George Smith are our only veterans. The shortest girls in the class are Lallage Ogles¬ by and Janie Morris. The shortest boy is Joe Pat¬ terson who says, I ' m a little piece of leather, but I ' m well put together . The tallest girls are La Frieta McMullen, Mary Wilkins and Lottie Robin¬ son, while James Martin, Price Brown and Melvin Reid are the tallest boys. Our favorite moving pictures are Sad Sack , The Young Lions , Peyton Place , Sayonara , and Marjorie Morningstar , but Leonard Graham has been rather sad since the Victory has closed. Chevrolets, Fords, Thunderbirds, Pontiacs and Dodges are our favorite cars, but Price Brown and Robert Ervin are still old-fashioned and stick to their Hope it don ' t, Hope it don ' t break down . Our favorite Rock ' n Roll musicians are Sam Cooke, Silhouettes, Pastels, and Bill Doggett, while Molly Alexander and Leroy Woods are nuts about the nationally-known Five Crowns. We goof behind such songs as Looking Back , Down On My Knees , Falling In Love , Maybe , Don ' t You Just Know It , and Head¬ ing for the Poorhouse , which is really where all of the seniors are going after publishing such a magnificent annual. These are our favorite songs but we know you ' re moaning We Can ' t Stand to See You Go . Many of us have earned letters in basketball and football, but Robert Massey has earned one in pool at J. Bridge ' s. Crew-neck sweaters, sack dresses and wrap¬ around skirts are most popular among the girls, while the boys are keeping pace in three, four and five button blazers, chino suits, Ivy League shirts and dark sun glasses. Instead of the bag look, Aljosie Baker prefers the gunny sack look. We have thirteen senior boys on the football team (most of them stars), one on the basketball squad (and he ' s the whole team). We have six girls on the basketball squad, twelve in the glee club and twenty-four in the band. Shrimp, lamb, barbecue, and spaghetti and meat balls are our favorite foods. However, Je¬ rome Ingram prefers sardines and peanut butter. Our favorite pastimes are movie going, dating, dancing, and various other hobbies, but a few of our erudite enjoy reading and seeing intel¬ lectual television programs. Most of us spend our spare time watching Gunsmoke , Climax , and Zorro , Playhouse 90 , and Have Gun Will Travel . These are among our favorite western programs but Melvin Reid prefers Have Feet Will Travel on East Mon¬ roe Street and Little Rascals . Our favorite subjects are General Business, Algebra II, English IV and Physics. Charles Par- tee ' s favorite classes are study hours because he has three or four of them. Our favorite hangouts are the Youth Center, Bea ' s Comeback, Skyline Cafe, Wilkin ' s Snack Bar, with the exception of Robert Johnson and Charles Hardin who, for unknown reasons, have to be home before the sun goes down. In our class we have twins, Cora and Ora Rob¬ ertson. Our class is very fond of them. The class ' s biggest eater is A. T. Turner, while some of the class members seem to think your humble servant is running a good race. Our gifted singers are Joyce Ellis and Charles Hardin, while Elaine Connor and Cletus Gibson were unfortunate not to have such a gift, but have a Ph.D. in talkin g. Evelyn McClain and Sarah Leach are two of our best writers, while Joe Patterson and Barbara Smarr are still printing Greek. Most of our vocabulary consists of money , food , and love , while Lloyd Yarborough stupe¬ fies us with his eloquent vocabulary.
