Over one-hundred years ago, Oliver Wendell Holmes in his poem The Chambered Nautilus wrote: Build thee more stately mansions, o my soul. These lines are still applicable in the year of the conformist, - the mod, - the hippie, - the yippie, or whatever a new or splinter group chooses to call itself: - whatever their name, they, as did Holmes, make the same plea. They too see as he saw: the series of enlarging compartments successively dwelt in by the animal that inhabits the shell, which is built in a widening spiral. Their plea, -- their spiral, is toward learning,o learning which will make them better people - people T who through experiential learning will come to a level of compassionate understanding - to the better mansions. We, the staff of THE CHIEFTAIN, will endeavor by way of photo- journalism to show you in our story of the year, that at King Philip we have the locale in which to learn and to come to know one another and ourselves. The principal product at King Philip is learning - learning which is academic, vocational, social, and physical. Students and faculty are actively involved in relating and reacting to the world, each other, and themselves. This learning, relationship and corresponding reaction, components of the continuum of the spiral, lead to the acquisition of and further involvement with the more stately mansions of understanding: an understanding about oneself, one's world, and one's people.
