To educate its students is the main purpose of any school; Page has achieved this purpose ad¬ mirably. Besides the basic courses offered at any institution, our school presented a diversified curriculum through which a stu¬ dent could follow any direction he chose. Interest in any field might he pursued through the many electives available to Page students. One level of teaching cannot meet the needs of a large student body; Page recognized this need and geared its curriculum accor¬ dingly. In addition to regular courses, all levels of student abili¬ ty from Special Education classes to the honors and advanced place¬ ment programs were available to students whose talents could pro¬ fit by them. Page has been quick to keep track of, investigate, and adopt new ideas in education. Its modern facilities helped make both the teaching and learning processes easier. By following the newest trends and directions in in¬ structional methods, Page has been able to keep abreast of the movement of today’s society toward greater intellectual achievement. Headed by a capable adminis¬ tration, a faculty of dedicated men and women played an im¬ portant role in stimulating academic interest. The quality of Page’s teaching staff was the main ingredient contributing to its per¬ vading intellectual atmosphere. 19
