Meeting. Examination of the construction budget will make clear the need for the added sum of money.
During the past year, Mr. Julian Demeo of Wayland was appointed Headmaster of Plymouth High School. The decision to employ Mr. Demeo was made as a joint decision by the Plymouth School Committee and the Plymouth-Carver Regional School District Committee. Since October, Mr. Demeo, in cooperation with his faculty, has outlined a new curriculum to be effective in September of 1963. Copies of this curriculum have been given to all students entering Plymouth-Carver Regional High School next September. We believe that this curriculum represents what the two towns desire for the education of their children. It is not unique or radically new. It merely represents what every good high school in Massachusetts offers its students.
We expect to add some fifteen new teachers to the faculty when the school opens. This is not because this is a regional school, rather this is because we are opening a new school with added courses, an additional pupil load, and a desire to reduce the overcrowded conditions which we have suffered during the past few years. We intend to have a teacher-pupil load which is consistent with the students receiving adequate instruction.
The Plymouth-Carver Regional School Committee has a large job ahead of it. We have, we believe, excellent administrators who will make the job much easier for us. We will make policy, but leave the administration of the policy to our professional administrators. We have high ambitions for our school; a good sound education is the only heritage that we can leave our children. We are not attempting radical departures in education in the new school,

rather we hope to provide an educational facility that will fill the needs of all students whether college bound, or interested in business training or artisan trades. To this end, we believe that thus far, we have achieved our purpose.
