situated in a heavily wooded,
tly sloping piece of property
ween Buffalo Lake, Revolution
,1 Reservoir, and Church Street
in the northeast section of this
city is the new Walter Page High
School.
;uilt at a cost of $1,153,376 (ex-
sive of the architect’s fee and
__ ing for drive and parking) this
contemporary structure will be
,dy for occupancy in the fall of
tfiis year. It will become home to
some 600 students then, and look
ing to the* future, perhaps 400
more.
On Transfers
As yet there has been no definite
ruling as to who will be trans
ferred to the new -building. A. P.
Routh, GHS principal, reports
that the curriculum will be
similiar to that of Senior High.
He, along with the other school
officials, expressed the hope that
enough people will transfer to
Page to enable having a Sopho
more, Junior and Senior Class.
Principal for the school was
named by the board recently in
the person of Luther Medlin,
present principal of Central Junior
High School. Mr. Medlin is known
nationally and locally as a civic
leader, as well as an educator.
Questionnaire Distributed
The only unsettled matter now
remaining concerns those who will
make up the student body.
Questionnaires concerning this
were prepared by the school board
recently and distributed to GHS
juniors and sophomores who live
near the new building. Results of
these questionnaires, as well as a
final rulling, will app^r in HIGH
LIFE next week.
