Ambition: English Professor Report I, Walter Roberts, being chosen statistician for the class of ‘59, will strive to do my best to be worthy of this great honor. After traveling on land, sea, and in the air, I find everyone raving about the senior class of ' 59, saying that it is the most remarkable and intelligent class ever to enter the doors of Price High School, Let me tell you about us. Most of us are seventeen or eighteen years of age, with the excep¬ tion of George Chunn, (who is sixteen) and Harold McClain, James Jones, and Claudie Boyd, who have lost track of their ages. Harvey McCorkle is the only veteran in the class. The shortest girl is Carrye Hargrave, and the shortest boy is Samuel Blackwell. The tallest girl is Willie Mae Boger, and the tallest boy is William Tugman. The favorite sports among the girls are basketball and softball. The boys prefer football and basketball. Roy McCree prefers checkers. After surveying the food line I find that the members of this class eat everything and any¬ thing, from corn flakes to chicken a la king. Comparing shapes and sizes we find all kinds in this class. Willie Mae Boger and Irene Jordan represent the vertical, while Thomas Clawson and Jo Ann Evans represent the horizontal. Most of us individually have a good opinion of ourselves, which accounts for our self-possessed manner. Roy McCree still walks like a Wall Street broker and Almeader Stovall has the manner of a Congresswoman, while Ruth Johnson is too modest to give her opinion of herself. Yet we must realize that we have many personal weaknesses. For instance, William Lattimore has an overfondness for slumber. Roberta Martin says that she has a great fondness for the scent of gaso¬ line and the sound of a honk. We have twelve senior boys on the football team and four on the basketball squad. We have three girls on the basketball squad and twenty in the glee club. Our favorite television programs vary. Mike Hammer and Peter Gunn seem to hold first place. Probably that is because we have so many boys in the class. We are ambitious and no one can doubt this. Three of us wish to become bricklayers, two want to be engineers, four scientists, and two medical secretaries. We have one classmate who wishes to become all of the following: namely, an auto dealer, a plasterer, a tailor, a professional football player, a lawyer, a policeman, a mechanic, a laboratory technician, a translator, a race driver, a civil service worker, a barber, a businessman, and a pilot. Fourteen of us wish to become teachers. Julius Broadway wants to become an ichthyologist. We hope he will. Every girl wishes to become a wife, first of all. Whether we attain these aims or not—time will tell. The colleges which the seniors have chosen to attend are: A. T., Barbar-Scotia, North Caro¬ lina College, Teachers College, and Livingstone College. We have ten seniors going into service. Having done my best, I hereby sign my name, WALTER ROBERTS
