Uncier able administration King Philip SUPERVISION AND ADMINISTRATION King Philip's school committee is a policy making body composed of nine members: three from each of the regional towns. This committee is responsible for finances and the appointment of school staff members. Due to increased enroll- ment, the present committee has added to its basic responsibilities that of planning the construction and operation of a new regional junior high school. Mr. Charles L. Manos, new to the school this year, is responsible for the formulation of curricu- lum, supervision of faculty and all personnel in his capacity as acting superintendent. As principal, Mr. Manos follows the policy as outlined by the committee and enforces school regulations and maintains good faculty, student, and public rela- tions. Assistant principal, Mr. Walter White is respon- sible for checking student attendance, discipline, and class and extracurricular activities. King Philip's administrators are able to func- tion efficiently because they are ably assisted by secretaries who accept the responsibility for all correspondence and maintenance of files. Financial secretary, Mrs. Mildred Hill, recently transferred to the superintend- ent's office from the guidance office.

l fi? Mr. Francis O'Regan, guidance director, is a most welcome addition to the King Philip staff. Students benejtt from I GUIDANCE: A STUDENT SERVICE Guidance as a service consists of five areas: counselling, testing, maintenance of records, occupational, and educational information services and follow-ups. Since it is vitally important that students have one person in school to whom they may turn for assistance in solving their problems, counselling is principally conducted on an individual basis. Such counselling helps the student to better understand himself. The testing program of mental measurement and evaluation, along with active cumulative records give the counsellor as accurate a profile of the student as is possible. Counsellors, in order to work effectively, must be constantly aware of any and all changes in the labor market and be cog- nizant of the requirements for entrance into the various col- leges and technical schools. To provide the most up-to-date information in these areas, an occupational library is main- tained. The worth of an academic and vocational school program cannot always be evaluated in the terms of student accomplish- ments. ln an effort to make a true evaluation, follow-up studies will be done on all King Philip graduates. For the first time, King Philip's guidance department is so staffed that these services can be rendered and maintained well. Mr. Conrad Pensavalle, guidance counsellor and head football coach, checks college board scores with William Rice, varsity football and basketball player. 8
