ANNUAL REPORT

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE KING PHILIP REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
It is a privilege to present my first annual report as Chairman of the King Philip Regional School District Committee.
The Committee regretfully accepted the resignations of Mr. Ed- ward Hemmingsen and Mr. Hugh Marshall. Mr. Hemmingsen of Plain- ville has served the Region from the beginning of the program. His efforts and experience have been invaluable, particularly in regard to the Vocational School. Mr. Hemmingsen retired with the office of Vice Chairman.
Mr. Marshall was a prime advocate of the Regional concept and worked diligently for several years to bring our present Region into existence. He served as Chairman of the Committee from its incep- tion until his retirement in 1960.
The faithful and dedicated work of such men is appreciated by all.
We are now well past the building and construction phase of our Regional District School. Much more time may now be devoted to the Educational Program.
With the co-operation of our Superintendent, Mr. Delaney, and our principal, Mr. Pressley, the Committee has had an opportunity to hear reports from the various Department Heads. These reports were very helpful and included comments and recommendations on the fine program instituted four years ago.
By continuing such meetings we may hope to keep pace with changing conditions and methods so that our students may have the benefit of a good educational program.
The Committee this year voted to participate in the Evaluation and Accrediting Study by the New England Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Results of this study will include suggestions and recommendations to guide us in the future.
In order to give more detailed study to major areas of the pro- gram, sub-committees have been authorized to make studies and report to the full Committee for consideration and action.

From the above data on enrollment trends-King Philip Regional High School will be lacking in classroom space in September, 1964 and every year thereafter. We will not be able to accommodate in the present building Grades 7-12 in September, 1964.
Conclusion
No. 1-Plans and research should be formulated now so that a 750 pupil Regional School for Grades 7 and 8 would be ready for oc- cupancy in September, 1964.
Enrollment data for these grades (7 and 8) show:
September, 1963-487 pupils. September, 1964-516 pupils. September, 1965-544 pupils.

ANNUAL REPORT
September, 1966-612 pupils.
September, 1967-596 pupils.
September, 1968-638 pupils.
September, 1969-744 pupils.
September, 1970-762 pupils.
September, 1971-784 pupils.
No. 2-Enrollment data shows that it would be educationally sound to build a separate Regional School for these grades.
No. 3-Educational research and even our own experience show that for all purposes, Grades 7 and 8 should be in a separate building.
Conclusion No. 2
No. 1-From the enrollment data we can continue to use the present building for Grades 7-12 until September, 1964. With the building of a new Regional School for Grades 7 and 8, we would be able to accommodate Grades 9-12 in the present building to September, 1971.
Grades 9-12, September, 1963-748 pupils. Grades 9-12, September, 1964-730 pupils.
Grades 9-12, September, 1965-784 pupils. Grades 9-12, September, 1966-811 pupils. Grades 9-12, September, 1967-887 pupils. Grades 9-12, September, 1968-970 pupils. Grades 9-12, September, 1969-977 pupils. Grades 9-12, September, 1970-1071 pupils. Grades 9-12, September, 1971-1154 pupils.
Conclusion No. 3
No. 1-From the enrollment data the year September, 1971, looks like another critical year in terms of classroom space. It might become necessary to build another Regional School for Grades 7 and 8 and return Grade 9 to this building so that the present school will accommodate only Grades 10-11-12.
Grades 10-11-12, September, 1971-787 pupils. Grades 10-11-12, September, 1972-850 pupils. Grades 10-11-12, September, 1973-921 pupils.

Conclusion No. 4
The present school was so designed to allow for addition to the building. Classroom space added to the building would ease the prob- lem for only a few years, another school would have to be built at a later time. Addition to the present building would be only a "stop- gap."
Conclusion
In closing this report, may I express my sincere appreciation for the co-operation, understanding and help given me by the School Com- mittee. It has been a pleasure to carry out my responsibilities.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF KING PHILIP REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
To: The Superintendent of Schools: Regional School Committee Citizens of the District
The program for the King Philip Regional High School has con- tinued to improve as we seek ways to provide a high standard of quality to the increasing student population.
The Program of Studies which was put into operation in 1957 which defines the minimums of content for all subjects has been re- viewed. The Department Chairmen presented their program to the School Committe. The offering and operation of the department was discussed and suggestions were recorded for further study and action. I believe this was an outstanding achievement and brought new under- standing of the operation of the program. The review and revision of all courses of study should be done at least every three years.
The method of reporting pupil progress to the parents has been revised with the level of instruction indicated on the report card. The Honor Rolls are also reported to the public based on level of instruc- tion.
The Student Council has developed very quickly and has worked hard on policies and regulations of the Student Activity Program. The Student Council sponsored the program of recognizing the honor stu- dent with a King Philip Honor Key. The Council is now making plans for the establishment of a local chapter of the National Honor Society.
The recognition which has come to King Philip as we have seen the students achieve a higher standard has contributed to the excellent school spirit that has been displayed by the students.
The Problems of Counseling and its relationship to scheduling are being studied to reduce the human error in student programs and the level of instruction assignment.
The team work of Parent-Student-Teacher produced a successful Exchange Program with Bradenton, Florida. The Student Exchange

received national recognition through the May 1960 issue of the N. E. A. Journal which has both national and foreign circulation.
I want to thank all the people for their excellent cooperation in providing a sound educational program for the young people of the King Philip Regional High School District.
Respectfully submitted,

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Raymond H. Hill, Director
The Music Department is pleased to report another year of steady progress in the program offered to the students at King Philip Regional High School.
General Music-As previously stated, General Music is required at the seventh grade level and it is scheduled one period per week. During this past year the course of study has been revised to more definitely meet the requirements of the students entering King Philip from the Elementary level. The text books, the audio and visual facilities and the excellent supplementary material prepared by the instructor are all combined to provide these first year students with the knowledge that there is something in music for everyone; whether it be the aesthetic value derived from the recognition and appreciation of music of real beauty and greatness, the practical value of its asso- ciation with the academic subjects, particularly the sciences and social studies, or the factual value which can be gained through the study of the history and theory of music.
