F OREWORD 'Tis education forms the common mind, just as the twig is bent the tree's inclinedf, Drawing upon Pope's analogy equating the twigv with youth and the treev with maturity, it behooves us to give serious consideration to the educational process, which does form the common mindf, Today is a time when youth overtly questions the existing philosophies, mores, and manners of the adult establishment. Already this questioning has led to outright rebellion and complete withdrawal on the part of some of our youth. They are rejecting many established values and standards, without offering any positive substitutes, despite the fact that these same standards have raised us as individuals and a nation above the many older nations of the world. Granted, there is a need for re-evaluation and change if we are to overcome the moral, social, political, racial, and military problems which seem to comprise a major portion of our youth's in- heritance. Therefore, this questioning has definite beneficial aspects. However, it must be realized that along with the right to question goes the responsibility for preserving the integrity of the individual and the nation. Education, because it encompasses all phases of growth- moral, social, and political, must attempt to guide today's youth toward constructive self-development. At King Philip Regional High School, administration and faculty are cogni- zant of the questioning and critical attitudes common to all youth. They therefore adjust curriculum and policy in an ef- fort to give their students the philosophical concepts which will enable them to formulate their own ideas, and the prac- tical knowledge necessary for their own and the commonweal. The 1968 Chieftain staff will endeavor to show how King Philip, through curriculum offerings, activities, sports, and special events, bends the twig to incline the treev toward positive self-realization. 8

Progressive policy, positive administration Superintendent Mr. David W. Eaton, and the King Philip Regional School District School Committee, constantly strive to help the King Philip secondary school to meet the demands placed upon it by institutions of higher learning, industry, labor and society in general. The ever-changing educational system, the add- ed responsibilities of securing and disbursing NDEA funds, increased school budgets and staff changes have made the superintendent busier than ever. As the voice of the policy-making school board, he coordinates their efforts with the administrators and faculty. In order to in- sure a complete, up-to-date education for King Philip students, the superintendent and school committee have adopted several innovations, the most recent being a summer reading pro- gram and a summer school program for make- up or enrichment.
