Fellow Shareholders

The U.S. stock market and the Growth Stock Fund continued to rally sharply
during the second quarter. Your fund turned in excellent performances for both
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, although returns lagged
the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index primarily because of the fund's
substantial international exposure.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The second quarter was virtually a carbon copy of the first. Stocks advanced
almost 10% on the strength of strong performance from technology and financial
issues. Buoyed by rising bond prices and expectations of a soft landing for the
economy, the stock market surged to close out the first half of the year in
record territory for all the major indices.

     Recent weakness in consumer spending, combined with a troublesome buildup
of inventories, has triggered fears of a recession, prompting the Federal
Reserve to cut the key fed funds rate after the quarter ended. The big question
now is whether a genuine recession is imminent or the Fed has succeeded in
navigating the economy toward a much-heralded soft landing.

     The data we have seen so far seem to favor the soft-landing scenario.
Consumer sentiment is fairly strong, unemployment is well below the levels
reached in the 1990-91 recession, and manufacturers' shipments remain steady.
Record stock market prices suggest that corporate profits will be strong
throughout the year. However, the weakest groups at the moment are those whose
earnings growth is tied closely to current economic activity, such as retail,
restaurants, automotive, and housing.

     As in 1994, foreign stocks have lagged the domestic market so far this
year, hindering fund performance to some extent because of our 26% position in
international issues. European stocks generated single-digit returns on average
in local currency terms, although the weak dollar boosted performance for U.S.
investors. Far Eastern markets registered disappointing returns earlier in the
year, followed by rallies in most Asian markets except for Japan. The major
arena of foreign underperformance was Latin America, particularly Mexico.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Within your fund's portfolio, retail stocks such as TOYS "R" US and DAYTON
HUDSON sharply lagged the overall market. Strongest performance came from
financial stocks with stable income streams aided by lower interest rates,
including FREDDIE MAC and FANNIE MAE. Technology issues also soared, riding a
five-year boom in capital spending. Holdings in LOTUS DEVELOPMENT, which agreed
to be bought by IBM, MICROSOFT, and ORACLE contributed positively to fund
performance.

     In the quarter, we added to existing holdings in insurance stocks UNUM and
ACE and initiated a new position in PMI GROUP. We believe the financial sector
continues to offer good value, since the Fed recently eased for the first time
in three years. Also, with the emphasis in Washington on deficit reduction and
tighter fiscal policy, looser monetary posture through lower rates remains the
most expedient way to stimulate economic growth.

     We added to our holding in biotechnology stock GENENTECH and initiated new
positions in pharmaceutical stocks MERCK and SMITHKLINE BEECHAM on the thesis
that their stable earnings streams, which are relatively unaffected by economic
slowing, will attract investor interest.

     On the sales side of the ledger, we took profits in some technology stocks
by trimming

positions in LOTUS, SYBASE, and NORTHERN TELECOM.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK

We have enjoyed the runup in stock prices that has elevated price/earnings
multiples to levels that typically accompany a sharp drop in interest rates. At
this juncture, we believe the overall stock market is fully valued and could
experience more volatility such as occurred after the close of the reporting
period. Continued progress in corporate earnings growth is necessary to justify
current valuations, and it would not be surprising to see a pullback in stock
prices in the near term.

     However, the companies in your fund's portfolio should benefit from strong
earnings in coming months, making their stock valuations relatively attractive.
Therefore, we anticipate continuing good returns going forward, despite the
powerful surge in prices so far this year.

T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund / June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund (the fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company.

A) Valuation - Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuations
are made. A security which is listed or traded on more than one exchange is
valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for
such security. Listed securities that are not traded on a particular day and
securities that are regularly traded in the over-the-counter market are valued
at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. Other equity securities are
valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid and asked prices deemed by
the Board of Directors, or by persons delegated by the Board, best to reflect
fair value.

     Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are
valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers who
make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service. Short-
term debt securities are valued at their cost which, when combined with accrued
interest, approximates fair value.

     For purposes of determining the fund's net asset value per share, the U.S.
dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank.

     Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the officers of the
fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.

B) Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated into
U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates of such transactions.
The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized
security gains and losses is reflected as a component of such gains and losses.

C) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are
reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $483,754,000 and $453,839,000, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its
taxable income.

     At June 30, 1995, the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax
and financial reporting purposes was $1,712,210,000 and net unrealized gain
aggregated $745,250,000, of which $778,597,000 related to appreciated
investments and $33,347,000 to depreciated investments.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The investment management agreement between the fund and T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. (the Manager) provides for an annual investment management fee,
of which 

                                                                              11

T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund / June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

$1,158,000 was payable at June 30, 1995. The fee is computed daily and paid
monthly, and consists of an Individual Fund Fee equal to 0.25% of average daily
net assets and a Group Fee. The Group Fee is based on the combined assets of
certain mutual funds sponsored by the Manager or Rowe-Price Fleming
International, Inc. (the Group). The Group Fee rate ranges from 0.48% for the
first $1 billion of assets to 0.31% for assets in excess of $34 billion. At June
30, 1995, and for the six months then ended, the effective annual Group Fee rate
was 0.34%. The fund pays a pro rata share of the Group Fee based on the ratio of
its net assets to those of the Group.

     In addition, the fund has entered into agreements with the Manager and two
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Manager, pursuant to which the fund receives
certain other services. The Manager computes the daily share price and maintains
the financial records of the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRPS) is the
fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides shareholder and
administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services,
Inc. provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement
accounts invested in the fund. Additionally, the fund is one of several T. Rowe
Price mutual funds (the Underlying Funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum
Growth Fund (Spectrum) invests. In accordance with an Agreement among Spectrum,
the Underlying Funds, the Manager and TRPS, expenses from the operation of
Spectrum are borne by the Underlying Funds based on each Underlying Fund's
proportionate share of assets owned by Spectrum. The fund incurred expenses
pursuant to these related party agreements totaling approximately $1,694,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, of which $293,000 was payable at period-end.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the fund, in the ordinary course
of business, paid commissions of $63,000 to, and placed security purchase and
sale orders aggregating $13,063,000 with, certain affiliates of the Manager in
connection with the execution of various portfolio transactions.
