Statistician Report I, Willie Mae Moon, having been chosen as statistician by my classmates shall strive to do my best and attempt to uphold this position by giving an accurate analysis of the class of 1962. The shortest girl in the class is Lottie Mae Miller; the shortest boy, Robert Smith. Our tallest boy is James Coan. Most of us will graduate at the age of eighteen, with the exception of Gwendolyn Williams, Joyce Taylor, Barbara Steele, Carolyn Sifford, Evelyn Grasty, Juanita Cowan, Mary Strawder, and Shirley Goodman who are all Sweet Seventeen and never been kissed. A few others will be graduating at the age of twenty or more, not to mention our boys who have been in service and our married classmates who have joined us in order to further their education. Our boys like all sports, but William Agnew and John F. White say you ' ll find them in Jake Bridges ' Pool Room any ole time. Our girls favor tennis, football, and basketball. That is— most of them—because Bessie Campbell just loves boxing. We have eighteen beautiful voices in the glee club, and six skillful players in the band. There are four girls representing us on the Girls ' Basketball Team, while four boys represent us on the Boys ' Basketball Team. We have six hard-hitting boys on the football squad. Most of us plan to enter college, join the services, or acquire a skill such as barbering, brick¬ laying, or beauty culture. The colleges most of us have selected are: North Carolina College, A. T., Morris-Brown, Hampton Institute, Livingstone, Howard, Tuskeegee, and Spelman. Our favorite dances are: The Twist, Hully Gully, The Fly, The Magestic, and The Cha- Cha-Cha, but as you know, Thomas Gladney prefers the Tobacco Twist. When choosing dates, the boys go for upper-class girls. All the college girls like Faries Bush because he is tall and handsome. Our girls, too, like tall, dark, and handsome boys with spending change, but Lorene Hasty likes a certain fellow who is in the armed services—Right girls? Comparing our handsome boys and gorgeous girls, we find that we could pass for Holly¬ wood stars. For example, James Coan and Henderson Stout could pass for Wild Bill Hickock and Jingles; James Hayes for Maynard who co-stars on the Dobbie Gillis Show; Reginald Brown for Alfred Hitchcock; Mae Crawford for Mrs. Gee, and last, but not least, Robert Smith for Dennis the Menace. Our favorite foods are French fries, steaks, barbecue, and hamburgers, but Jacqueline Lake, Joan Grasty, Lottie Miller and Shirley Holt prefer sardines on toast and mashed potatoes. Our teeth and jaws are exercised daily by talking and chewing Juicy Fruit Chewing Gum, with the exception of Patricia Jones who exercises better with bubble gum. The most used expression for our boys is Oh, dawling and the girls are saying Git Down. Our favorite rhythm and blues singers are Jackie Wilson, the Shereilles, Chubby Checker, and the Mar-Keys, but every Thursday evening you ' ll find Helen Stout, Ruby McLaughlin, Judy Oakley, and Doris Wiseman racing home to watch Arthur Smith and his Crackerjacks. Well, there it is. It is true that Price High has had many fine classes to leave this wonder¬ ful school. The class of 1962, in best judgment, is the greatest in the school ' s history and will remain the best class for years to come. Respectfully submitted, WILLIE MAE MOON, Statistician Class of ' 62
