CLASS POEM FAREWELL Farewell to dear Price High, The school of my heart; Farewell to our teachers, From whom we must part; Farewell to our schoolmates, With whom we have made Warm friendships that linger, And never will fade. We ' ve worked, and we ' ve played; We ' ve studied together. We ' ve come to our school, Regardless of weather. In sports and in projects, Our best was our aim To ever be loyal, To ever win fame. Dear teachers, your lessons We ' ll never forget. Dear classmates, this parting We ' ll always regret. Dear Price, as we leave thee, We ' ll promise to do The things that are noble, The things that are true. These four years have brought us Some smiles and some cheers, Some thrills and reproaches. Some sighs and some tears. Our hearts have been widened Our thoughts have traveled far. Dear Price, we will love you No matter where we are.

The Class Prophecy A few days ago in our physics laboratory at Price. Milford Agnew succeeded in completing what he calls Agnew ' s Future Telorama . This instrument is capable of showing a person in his position ten years hence. By changing the dial, and adjusting the focus, one has only to slip in a set of photographs, and in a minute the controller will show the persons photographed in some phase of work ten years from today. As all of us were young and healthy, we did not fear the future. I was asked to use this machine as the basis for my class prophecy. I first focused it on the inventor, Milford Agnew. I saw him in a laboratory at Livingstone College. He was showing his newest invention, which was an automatic bricklayer. Rapidly I turned, and I saw Samuel Blackwell playing trumpet for Duke Ellington. Samuel Boger and Claudie Boyd were selling life insurance. John Bozeman was president of the Friendly Loan and Don ' t Trust Company. Julius Broadway, who wanted to be an ichthyologist, had settled down as owner of a fish market. He found the fish still interesting, but found it more profitable to sell them than to study them. Betty Brown was the proud mother of six children. All of these were well-dressed and very smart. I rested my eyes a little and then I focused the machine on Tommy Brown. I found him a well-known undertaker. He was working hard to take care of the little Browns. Yes, your guess is right. John Cathcart was playing fullback for the New York Giants. George Chunn was owner of the world ' s largest dairy, and his four sons were really cowboys. Thomas Clawson was a great preacher. He was weighing three hundred and was always riding in a Cadillac. Ethel Clifton was teaching the third grade in Monroe Street School, and Marian Cook had charge of Cook ' s Kindergarten, taking care of a hundred children. George Crawford and Curtis Elder were TV stars. They served in a weekly show advertising Pink Clover Snuff. Mary Davis was city librarian of Bear Poplar, N. C. Jo Ann Evans and Mary Wilson had a business selling Chop-Chop Puppy Food. Rena Mae Feilds was shown os a famous piano player, taking the place of Hazel Scott. Mary Godfrey had become president of Godfrey ' s Woman ' s College, and on her faculty were Cora Grasty and Geraldine Grasty. Carrye Hargrave was a teacher of French at Price High School, and she was still the smallest person in the room. Charles Heggins owned and operated Heggins ' Chicken Shack . He was eating a good deal of the profit, but was making a comfortable living. Copell Johnson was a famous football coach. I saw him showing Bennie McLendon, a professional football player and also owner of the City Smoke Shop of Salisbury, how to carry the pigskin without losing it. Ruth Johnson was a famous model. James Jones was selling used cars. Ruth and James went out to lunch and met Irene Jordan who had become head nurse at the Walter Reed Hospital. Incidentally, they were lunching at Eva Krider ' s Restaurant. A block from Krider ' s Restaurant was the Lattimore Car Industry, owned by Hugh, James and William Lattimore. They were arguing as usual, but business seemed good. Their chief mechanic was James Logan Roberta Martin and Mary Moon were receptionists for a veterans hospital. Thomas Morgan was the most recent bobby sox fan. His favorite song was I Dream of Rena with the Dark Brown Eyes . Eugene McCombs was a model for the Tall Men ' s Suit Company. Josephus McCorkle was known as Madame Josephine. She owned a company which manufactured beauty products. Harold McClain was the world ' s champion boxer, and he was the idol of all the little boys. He encouraged them to eat Wheaties. His picture had been used to show him eating the Breakfast of Champions . Harry McLaughlin had become a five-star general in the U.S. Army, and Roy Vance had become a captain in the Coast Guard. By another flick of my wrist I saw Barbara Neely and Phylis driving a 1970 Ford. They were wealthy owners of an oil well. Sitting in the back and doing the back-seat driving was Sidney Neely, who was their business manager. And what is my friend Walter Roberts doing? Another change of the dial shows Walter Roberts as president of the Sir Walter Roberts Smoking and Chewing Tobacco Company. I saw Albert Stout directing a Men ' s Chorus. Almeader Stovall was owner of the famous Melt-ln-Your-Mouth Snowballs, and she owned stores all over the United States. Her motto was, If you don ' t like my snowballs, don ' t blame Stovall . Johnnie Mae Tracey had become a movie star and had won an Oscar as she co-starred with William Tugman. The dial is turned again and I see Calvin Turner as light heavyweight champion of the world. Who would have thought it? Even more amazed was I to see that generous Frederick Welborne is president of Welborne ' s National Bank, Inc. To see what James Wheeler would be, I dropped in his picture and turned the dial. Then I heard a strange type of music, and I saw a night club. Printed in large letters on the bandstand was James Wheeler and His Goose Rockers . Henry Withers, who was a senator from New Mexico, was preparing the commencement address to be given at Price High School. Willie Mae Boger was next shown. She was the author of several best sellers and a lady of wealth. And what had become of Ahab Beatty? I saw him posing before a photoghapher who was taking pictures of Ahab as an adver¬ tisement for Manhattan Shirts. The Telorama showed John Houston as a great concert singer. On his programs he always sang about moving a mountain. The surprise of surprises came when I saw Samuel Cole. He was no longer the quiet person of ' 59, but was very talkative and had become a salesman, as well as a very prosperous businessman. He had become rich selling a new air conditioner in tropical countries. His motto Keep Cool with Cole was known all over the world. The Telorama showed Cole and James McNeely on a transatlantic airplane. McNeely was on his way to Paris to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians; for he had now become an internationally recog¬ nized mathematician. He was still a bachelor, however, for he hadn ' t figured out yet which of his lady friends he wished to marry. I then called Agnew to turn the dial so that he could find what the future held for me, and here is what he said: Roosevelt, you are a tall, handsome fellow with naturally curly hair. You are standing in front of a twenty-room mansion which is a residence and an art gallery. You are an artist and people from far and near come to buy your pictures. There is a picture of a lovely lady which you refuse to sell at any price. Then he stopped. Now, who is the lady? I asked. That ' s my secret, said he. Wait until 1969, and if you are a lovely lady, it could be you! ROOSEVELT COPELAIND
