I herewith submit my seventh annual report as Director of the Dighton Vocational School.
Organization
One of the approval factors (statutory) for a state-aided vocational school is organization. It means the working plan for carrying out the times of the school.
1. As to departmental character-All state-aided schools shall be organized by departments or courses.
2. Advisory committee-Representatives from industry
29
ANNUAL REPORT
are chosen to advise in gearing instruction to the needs of industry.
3. Distinctive management-A director who is responsi- ble under the superintendent of schools to the local board of control for all instruction given.
4. Faculty-Must be approved by the State Department of Vocational Education.
5. Vocational Guidance-Approved guidance program for vocational school students.
6. Size of classes-To be determined by agreement with the commissioner.
Persistency of attendance and quantity of service conclude the list of organizational factors.
We must abide by these factors in order to receive federal and state money.
Our school is organized and run under the laws of Chapter 74, just the same as all the other trade and vocational schools throughout the Commonwealth. Academic high schools, on the other hand, are run under the laws of Chapter 71.
I review this information for some of our citizens who ask why we are a separate state-aided school.
The laws of Massachusetts do not allow state and federal monies, allocated for vocational education, to be used in a regular high school program or a so-called comprehensive high school.
Enrollment
A statistical chart is given at the conclusion of this report.
Three Berkley students and one Freetown student left to attend the new Freetown-Lakeville Regional Vocational High School.
The curtailment of freshmen students (not to exceed 12) is an agreement with the State Office of Vocational Education. Due to the very limited size of our shops, this policy had to be
30
ANNUAL REPORT
taken a few years ago. Thus, it is now reflected in our total enrollment.
Public Relations
Today educators recognize the need of a good publicity program for all schools. It pays dividends in industry and, I feel, the tax-paying public should be kept informed of all our activities.
Prior to our Open House in May, one ofthe most unusual and unique methods of publicity was conducted by our school and Radio Station WPEP of Taunton.
Mr. Joseph Quill, station manager, equipped with a tape recorder, visited the places of employment of our senior students. The employers and the students were interviewed by Mr. Quill. The comments by the employers and our boys regarding training and ability to do a day's work efficiently were most gratifying. This forty minute broadcast was heard during a rebroadcast the same evening.
The outstanding pictorial coverage of our Open House and comments by the Taunton Daily Gazette, plus the radio broadcast, accounted in a large measure for the excellent attendance we had on that evening.
WJAR TV, Mr. Warren Waldon, and his staff deserve high praise for their video telecast of the actual Open House.
Awards
We are pleased with the two new achievement awards that have been granted this year. One was given by the Dighton Teachers' Association, and the other was given by the Dighton Parent Teachers' Association.
These two fifty dollar awards enable two deserving students to purchase tools that are a requirement in obtaining employment.
Miscellany
In my many contacts with employers this past year, they have emphasized that they will only hire young men who are
31
ANNUAL REPORT
willing and capable. Thus, we must be extremely careful in the selection of our students. They must meet the needs of industry. Since we operate our school under Chapter 74, we cannot keep students if they do not have the ability and desire to be trained.
Twenty-eight boys received diplomas in June. Thirteen of them were vocational students. To be statistical, 46% of the boys graduating were from the Dighton Vocational School. Of the thirteen boys, eleven went into industry and two entered the Armed Services. We had twenty-five positions available for our graduates.
We are extremely grateful to Mr. Walter Markham, State Director of Vocational Education, and his staff for their valuable assistance during the eyear. We value his kind letter regarding our school when it received National recogni- tion in a trade journal.
I wish to thank you personally, Mr. Roy, for your deep concern and interest in our school. To your School Committee, the townspeople, and parents of our students, we are most appreciative for the cooperation and intelligent understanding of our problems.
Training young people for profitable employment is not always an easy task, but we are keenly interested in their success. Our school is meeting this challenge.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. DAY,
Director

DIGHTON-REHOBOTH REGIONAL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT
In the year 1959 final plans were completed for a new regional high school. Bids were called for in August. A low bid of $1,609,500. was received from the Dimeo Construction Company of Providence.
Special Town Meetings were held in Dighton and Re- hoboth on August 24, 1959 to vote on a $2,085,000. bond issue. The bond issue was passed by both towns. On September 10, 1959 the bond issue was approved by the Emergency Finance Board and a contract was signed with the Dimeo Construction Company to build the building.
During the year the problem of water for the new school was investigated. It was finally decided to drill two artesian wells. They proved to be very successful, together they produce about 100 gallons per minute which is more than ample for the school needs.
Mrs. Ruth Leeming was elected clerk of the Regional Committee early in the year and it was her duty to keep the minutes of the meetings and also do the bookkeeping for the Committee.
Mr. Robert T. Roy was elected superintendent of the Regional School District in February.
The Committee was reorganized after the annual town elections and the following officers were elected for the year:
Mr. Stuart A. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Gardner C. Borden, Secretary
Mr. Frederick B. Tschirch, Treasurer.
Mr. John Pollis, an attorney from Taunton, was engaged to represent the committee in "land takings" and to be legal consultant for the committee.
In September Mr. Joseph C. Harrington, who was princi-
46
ANNUAL REPORT
pal of Warren High School, was hired to be principal of the region. He has been working out the details of the program He will work out the courses of study and take charge of the enrolling of the pupils in the spring. He is also assisting in the selection of furniture and the interviewing of prospective teachers.
Shortly after the contract was awarded, Mr. Clifford Firtz, an engineer from Providence was engaged as clerk of the works. Mr. Fritz has proven a valuable asset to the committee as he is highly regarded by all who have met him.
The building itself is made up of five units. Unit A houses the auditorium and music rooms. Unit D is made up of the gymnasium for boys and girls plus shower rooms and locker rooms. The pincipal's office and other administrative offices are located in Unit D. In Unit B are located the science laboratories and the mathematics rooms, also the cafeteria, library and superintendent's office. Unit C houses the English, foreign language, social studies and commercial rooms. Unit E is made up of the industrial arts room, mechanical drawing room, boiler room and the vocational shops, automobile and carpentry.
The contract for the landscaping will be awarded in the spring and will include the building of lawns, walks and drives plus the locating of a football field, a baseball field, tennis courts and other playing areas.
Most of the building is scheduled to be ready the first of September and we hope to open school on our regular schedule. At the present time work is progressing very well on Units B. C and E. These being classroom units we are anxious to have them completed on time.
This fall an access road from Horton Street to New Street has been built. This road passes through the site just south of the school. This road will be brought up to grade and surfaced in the spring.
The Committee wishes to thank all who have helped in
47
ANNUAL REPORT
any way. They wish to thank the Selectmen and other town officials who have helped with problems concerning the local governments. Our appreciation also goes to the local school committees who have offered not only themselves but the faculties of their respective schools to help in the planning. We are also grateful to the School Building Assistance Com- mission and the officers of the Second Bank-State Street Trust Company for the help they have given us.
The Committee is anxious that the public be kept abreast of the progress on the school. Reports of their meetings are published in four local papers. Committee members are willing to explain the plans of the school to any one who wishes to hear about them. This school is your school, please feel free to call us for information concerning its progress.
