Guidance and supervision offered by counselors ODELL V. SMITH B.S., Longwood College M.A., W.C.U.N.C. Counselor, Civinettes Advisor, FTA Advisor MRS. LUCILLE HODNETT B.A., Lynchburg College M.A., University of Virginia Counselor, Torchbearers Advisor, FTA Advisor Mrs. Lucille Hodnett, sophomore guidance coun¬ selor, and Miss Odell Smith, junior and senior guidance counselor, spent their days advising or instructing the students of Page. These two coun¬ selors were always more than willing to help when a choice had to be made between two colleges, or a student was having difficulty with his grades. In addition to giving advice, the counselors set up schedules for every stu¬ dent, administered standard tests, and admitted sick pu¬ pils to the clinic. Also, they gave their after-school time, being advisors to organiza¬ tions affiliated with Page. Mrs. Hodnett pauses for o moment to glance at some new material from a North Carolina college. Miss Odell Smith adds another scholarship an¬ nouncement to the bulletin board. 20

unite for education For the fifth fall students passed through the portals of Walter Hines Page Senior High School. With the largest student body that Page had ever seen, each student, at one time or the other, met the man that had been responsible for the high recogni¬ tion of Page. Helping to end Page prob¬ lems in pleasant solutions, Mr. Luther R. Medlin, principal, always planned for the welfare of all students. Since the office is the center of attrac¬ tion, Mrs. Jean Snider and Mrs. Lucille Hill, secretaries, added to the enjoyment and di¬ rection of the students as well as all vis¬ itors to our school. Every student was proud to attend Page, not only because of its new building, but i also because of its alert administration. All worked hand in hand with each person com¬ plementing the other. With co-operation and a common goal, the school year 1962- 1963 proved to be a profitable one for the advancement of Page High School. PHILIP J. WEAVER A.B., Duke University M.A., U.N.C.

FREEMAN B.A., W.C.U.N.C. Sophomore English is highlighted by Shakespeare As fall rolled around and all students went back to the anxieties and work of school, each English class was crowded with students wanting to learn more about their language. At first teachers were new to students and students were wondering about teachers; however, each teacher started the new semester by talking about what the class would do. Many of the teachers reviewed what the stu¬ dents were supposed to have already learned. I Along with reviewing came new vocabulary words, book reviews and memorizations. As fall changed to winter the sophomore class, under the instruction of Miss Currin, Mrs. Betts, Mrs- Spradley, Mrs. Mclver, and Mrs. Galloway, began to study Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar. After exams, memorizations, punctuation, and the other necessities were over, the newest pirates celebrated the coming of spring with George Eliot ' s Silas Marner. Verna Wortham ' s dramatic recitation is the sleepwalking scene from Macbeth.
