It is possible to hide the contents of a slide with the following procedure:

1. Move your cursor over the slide name tab of the slide you want to change (the first one, in this case).
2. Click on the context mouse button (usually right-most), and select Modify slide.
3. In the dialog that appears, deselect the check mark next to "Objects on Background" in the 'Display' box.

It is not possible to change the page number field. So your second slide will always be '2' - you cannot restart it to be '1'.
