Francois brought continental atmosphere Francis Chapireau ■■■HBBHSBgaSlgl That bright hello flavored with a French accent, the boy in the Student Commons Area, a tall figure with an intellectually inquisitive countenance- such sketches describe Page’s French Exchange Student, Franyois Chapireau. Sponsored by the Greensboro Serop- tomist Club, he has been able to adapt to a new culture and way of life. With a penetrating mind and amazing capacity for concentration, Francis has the ability to add a challenging spark to a classroom. It is hoped that Franyois has been enriched by the ex¬ periences he has gained from Page as we have been by his presence. Francis chats with Mrs. Garrett before an assembly in which he is to be introduced to the student body. Due to the excellent training which he re¬ ceived in France, Franpois finds it easy to explain a complicated problem to his ana¬ lytics class. 5

Capable direction made year productive At sophomore orientation, Mr. Newton urges the newest Page students to determine their goals early, then follow their chosen direction. For any school to succeed in its endeavors, there must be that guiding force of students who accept the responsibilities of leadership to carry the school forward. In every group there must be someone to give the directions and someone to follow them. These leaders provided the basis for the improvement and expansion of the boundaries of Page. As the new year took its form, there was a “changeover” in the officers who direct the student body as well as the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. They continued many of the long- range improvements of problems and found something new to strive for. Thus, these students formed a basis from which other groups took their origin. As the school served to direct these individuals toward finding their goals in life and improving Page, so these students worked to guide the student body. David Gipson, Frank Merritt, and Franklin Spence seriously consider a point under discussion at an executive council meeting. At an assembly designed to evaluate first semester activities, David Rockwell reminds Page students of the many privileges which they enjoy. 7
