Guidance in education is similar to personnel work in business and industry and the value of each is now widely accepted in its field. Guidance helps pupils develop goals and objectives. It helps to pre- pare boys and girls who need assistance with their vocational and educational plans; it helps to reduce failures and to motivate pupils to meet some of the many frustrating experiences that occur as a natural result of exposure to the school curriculum.
It should be pointed out that counselors should not necessarily tell the pupil exactly what to do. This decision in the end should remain with the pupil and the parent. When the pupil begins to show a determination and an understading and desires to see a course of

action through and is able to do so on his own responsibility, then the role of the counselor has been played correctly and effectively. In short, the Guidance Department attempts to explain to a young person his strengths and weaknesses, his potential abilities, and helps him understand his situation a little better so that his personal resources will not be wasted.
Already results show from records received from colleges that our students attending institutions of higher learning are achieving in a manner that gives credit to King Philip Regional High School. These students were at a disadvantage considering the fact that they had a late start in their academic studies due to a delayed opening of the school.
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Preston I. Titus, Director
The Carpentry and Machine Shops were put into operation in March, 1958. There have been 155 jobs completed in the Machine and Carpentry Shops since they have been operating. There are 79 jobs being worked on or on the list to be done at the present time. The market value of the jobs completed to this date amounts to $2,450.34.
At present, there are 50 pupils enrolled in the school. It is expect- ed that there will be a substantial increase in the enrollment figures starting in September.
The quality of work being done by the students in the school is exceptionally good for the short time they have been given this type of training.
The teachers and pupils are appreciative of the excellent facili- ties made possible for them and are working together cooperatively and enthusiasitically to make the King Philip Regional Vocational High School one of the finest.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN H. PRESSLEY, JR.,
Principal

"NO SCHOOL" SIGNALS
The sirens in Wrentham, Sheldonville, Plainville, and Norfolk fire stations will be used to sound the signal. The "No School" signal will be:
2 BLASTS - 4 TIMES
Signal will have the following meaning:
7:00 a. m. - Omit Session in Grades 7 - 12
"No School" signals will be used only when weather conditions are unusually severe, or in cases of emergencies. The scattered population of the district and the extensive pupil transportation system make it necessary to sound the signal, if at all, a considerable time in advance of the opening hour of the school session. It occasionally happens that weather conditions which appear promising at the hour the signal should be sounded become severe by the time pupils start for school. Parents are requested to use their own judgment in such cases as to whether or not your son or daughter should attend a school session.
When school sessions are to be called off because of weather condi- tions, announcement will be made over radio station WBZ-Boston, and WARA-Attleboro. Parents should tune their radios to these stations between 6:30 a. m. and 7:30 a. m. if in doubt as to whether or not school will be in session.
Should it become necessary to dismiss school before the usual closing time, announcement will be made over those same stations.
