These towns, located in southeastern Massa- chusetts, are largely residential, economically dependent on small di- versified Iocol industries, state institutions, and nearby urban indus- trial and business centers. In an endeavor to provide a more comprehensive education for the youth of the area, King Philip Regional High School was opened in October of 1957 with an enrollment of 850 students. During the course of seven years, the student body has increased to 1350. The school yearbook reflects this growth factor for it is the job of the yearbook staff to present a complete account of all student inter- ests and accomplishments. In this, the seventh edition of the Chief- tain, the staff will attempt to produce a iournalistic and photographic record of the 1963-1964 academic year.
