Mr. Page Insures Discipline Is the Key to Order Mr. Page did not have any very seri- ous problems with the mild mannered students here this year with the possi- ble exception of trying to get the stu- dents to a class on time or to get them just to class at all. Although Mr. Page realized that progress had been made on reducing the number of skippers and students hanging around the halls he still believed that there was much work to be done. Mr. Page had wished that students would have placed more emphasis on the app earance of the cafeteria as it reflected on the discipline and manners of the students and the school. At the Homecoming pep rally Mr. Page’s rules and regulation on attendance boosted the morale and also gave the team that added element of support. MR. MILLARD F. PAGE — Assistant Principal Mr. Page soaks up some York County precipitation. Mr. Page discusses helping students with Mr. Erasmi. 20

S.C.O.P.E., I.T.E.D., Students Keep Counselors Very Busy The SCOPE program, being employed here for its fourth successful year has given the students the variety they wanted in tradi- tional English and History courses, and man- aged to keep the counselors occupied as well. All electives must be carefully recorded on the students transcript and filed, credits must be carefully recorded on the students tran- script and be submitted in completed form to colleges and be kept for graduation. Each counselor has either an entire class or a desig- nated portion of a class. This allows consider- ably more personalization between student and counselor. These specific functions and tasks, not to mention individual counseling for students requesting advice or assistance, all become the certified task of our unique Guidance Counselors and Guidance Depart- ment. Mrs. Elizabeth Charleton keeps guidance perking. Seated: Mrs. Elizabeth Charleton. Standing: Mrs. Eleanor Gregory, Mr. Charles Erasmi, Mrs. Sue Hardie, Mr. Bob Steele. 22
