Mrs. Price’s main hobby is her three year old daughter, Lisa. Other than her, Mrs. Price finds time to sew most of her own clothes and read. During the summer Mrs. Price Ukes to go boating and water-ski. “Rocky Mount Senior High is an excellent school and has a great deal to offer. I find that the students here have the at titude of wanting to leam and this makes all teaching efforts seem worthwhile,” comments Mrs. Price.
