Notes
a. Note:   John attended Colgate University at Hamilton, New York.

After earning his BA degree in economics, John joined the New York Telephone Co. and worked in the Traffic and commercial departments for the next 11 years. In 1941 John moved to AT&T as an engineer and group head. 5 years later he returned to the New York Telephone Co. where he remained until 1948 acting as the general commercial supervisor. Then he moved to Wisconsin joining the Telephone Co. in Milwaukee as general commercial manager. His versatility and adaptability boosted him into the vice-presidency of the company.

 1960 (Inducted).
 Born December 18, 1908, in Ogdensburg, N.Y., John Paige was educated at the Ogdensburg Free Academy and graduated in 1926. Moving on to Colgate University, Paige received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1930. While at Colgate, he played basketball and football as well as lacrosse, but lacrosse was his main love and he played on the team from 1927-30, making the All-American Team in 1930. Paige was field captain of the All-American Team which played a series of games that year with the Canadian champions in Toronto. After leaving Colgate, he continued his lacrosse playing at the Crescent Athletic Club and was captain of the 1938 team. He also played in the Olympic Trial games in the 1932 and 1936 seasons.
 Since graduating from Colgate, Paige's whole business career was in the telephone business. He held various positions with the New York Telephone Company, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Wisconsin Telephone Company, where he served as Vice-President of Public Relations and Merchandising.
 During the many years that Paige spent with the New York Telephone Company and lived in the East, he was extremely active in all phases of lacrosse. He has held all of the offices of the USILA, starting with secretary and ending with president, and was a member of the Executive Committee for many years until he moved West in 1948. Perhaps, what everyone will remember most in Paige's career in lacrosse administration will be his big part in starting the North/South All-Star Game just before World War II. Paige, along with several lacrosse figures, started with nothing and developed this game into what it is today and of what we are all so proud.
 An extremely interesting article was written for the Encyclopedia Britannica by Paige and still can be found in this famous reference book.
 Paige was married December 7, 1935, to Lois Ferguson and they had five children: Joan, now Mrs. Philip Warren; Margaret, a student at the University of Illinois; William F., a student at Northwestern University; Elisabeth, a student at the Wauwatosa High School; and John H. Jr., a student at the Jefferson School.
