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.

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.
