n Memoriam EDWARD LLOYD COLE On February 1, 1961, our beloved classmate Edward Cole died as the result of an accident he encountered on his way to school. The grief of the class and that of the entire school was overwhelming. Edward was quiet, friendly, courteous, pleasant, trustworthy, studious, ambitious, industrious, and religious. He was a member of the Price band, the Hi-Y, Big Brothers, French and Math clubs. He belonged to the House of Prayer for All People and was very active in the church band and youth groups. The class dedicates this page to the memory of our deceased companion. Though thou art gone, dear friend Thy life ' s breath hath no end; Thy memory lives on in every soul That loved thee much , dear Edward Cole.

Statistician ' s Report I, Sandra Vails, being chosen statistician for the class of ' 61, will do my humble best to be worthy of this honor. The class of ' 61 is certain to be one of the best ever to pass through the doors of our dear Price High. I will proceed to tell you about us. Most of us are 17 years of age with the exception of George Curlee who says he is sweet sixteen and never been kissed ??? The shortest girl is Magdaline Kelly and the shortest boy is Ernest Taylor; while the tallest girl is Barbara Boger and the tallest boy is our own basketball star Melvin Lentz. As we compare shapes and sizes we find Alice McClain and Otis McClain on the, should we say, slim side, and Jean Woods and John Mcllwain to be a bit rounder than average. The favorite sport among both the girls and the boys is basketball but Rat Salmon prefers that great game of pool. Our favorite foods range from Hot Dogs to steaks. Oh, don ' t let me forget about Edwin Little, girls. He prefers carrots. He says they account for his pretty eyes, We all like Nehi sodas and Pepsi-Colas except Charles McGarity, better known as the Kool-Aid Kid. Everyone in the class is active in extra-curricular activities. We have members in every club and organization in the school, many of us holding top offices. Lorraine Brotherton is the presi¬ dent of ihe United Do Nothingers club. Most of us seniors of ' 61 are quite self-oossessed. We have a good opinion of ourselves, which can account for our manner. Mary Hardin says she has the best voice in the class, but she will give Barbara Boger a close second. Annie Neely is entirely too modest to give her opinion of herself. We realize, however, that we have a few personal weaknesses — like John Tobias. He has a personal weakness for a certain senior girl. Avon lipstick is the preferred by the girls, while the fellows say any kind will do. The favorite perfume is Chanel No. 5, but Clement McCombs likes the smell of cooking spices a little better. The most popular television program is 77 Sunset Strip while John Chambers gets up on Saturday to see Leonardo Lion. We all listen to Radio Station W.A.A.A. where Daddy-O flips the latest sounds. Of course, Woodrow Nichols would rather listen to recordings of Physics made Simple , but he will go along with the rest of us. The class members enjoy all types of literature. Dianne Davis and Jackie Broadway read the most in the class. Dianne? Novels and Current Events. James? You guessed right—comic books. The mosl popular dances done by the seniors are Continental , Twist , Pony , but Amelia Anderson and Herbert Caldwell prefer the Fox Trot . The hit songs are Blue Moon , Please Say You Want Me Too , Some Kinda Wonderful , Rebound . James Boger digs the beat of Please Mr. Custer . He says it sends him. In the future, members of our class will be doctors, scientists, engineers, housewives, busi¬ ness men and women, teachers, ministers, and writers. The colleges of our choice are Livingstone, North Carolina College, Hampton, Winston-Salem Teachers College, University of North Carolina, A. T. College, and Howard. Over half of our class plans to attend college. Charles Harris feels Uncle Sam needs him, so he will answer the call. We have thirty-two parents of members of the senior class who are former graduates of Price. We are very proud of this fact, as we prepare to pass out the same doors from which they left. With Learn as if you were to live forever, live as if you were to die tomorrow as our motto, the senior class of ' 61 feels that our success is quite assured, an d that we will rise to the top as we climb our ladder of life. With great pride and honor, I affix my signature to this document on this the eighteenth day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and sixty-one.
