Page High School is now eight years old. In this length of time, our student body has more than tripled, growing from less than 500 in 1958 to nearly 1600 in 1965. This increased enroll¬ ment resulted in an addition to the professional staff in order to administer and supervise the curriculum and its related activities for a large compre¬ hensive high school. Our principal, Mr. Luther R. Med- lin, and his faculty combined the best of them leadership, experience, and dedication to duty, which provided an educational program at Page, rating second to none in our entire area. Mr. Robert Newton, assistant principal, Mrs. Arch Anna Ashley, dean of girls, and two very able secretaries, Mrs. Lucille Hill and Mrs. Ronnie Atwood, also belonged to the administrative staff. Also instrumental to a progressive academic year were a capable school superintendant, the school board, and an energetic PTSA. Mrs. Arch Anna Ashley B.S.S.A., UNC-G FSA Advisor Clerical Practice 20

Increased counseling To meet personal and academic re¬ quirements, Page had four counselors this year. The classes were divided among them in order to have an equal distribution between the counselors. Several counselors selected home¬ room representatives who met weekly and then transmitted to the home¬ rooms news of important approaching events and college information. These meetings kept the students well-in¬ formed about school and college news as well as prevented unnecessary visits to the counselors. Under the guidance of this depart¬ ment, numerous tests were adminis¬ tered. Students took SCAT-STEP, PSAT, National Merit, and SAT tests to determine their aptitudes and achievements.
