Fathers Filling in the footsteps of his predecessors as competently as all the rest is our headmaster, Robert R. W ebber, having completed his education with the degree of Bachelor of Science from Colbv, Maine in 1909, and Master of Education from Harvard in 1931, and through experience from previous periods of teaching at York, Maine, Saugus, and Oak Grove Seminary. He has successfully followed their example in securing a closer bond between teachers and pupils, one that serves to enrich the student’s school and later life, through which he may be able to receive more benefit from his studies, and to apply these studies to the career which he has chosen. In addition to advising and encouraging pupils who intend to enter college or carry on advance work, our principal is always on hand to discuss and try to settle the individual problems of the student. One of our most pleasant memories in looking back over our own three years at Chelsea Senior High School as well as the ninety-seven years of its existence before we entered its portals, is that of having been under the guidance of such a headmaster. Mr. Robert Webber, Head-master. PRINCIPALS 1847-1832 Sidney Keefe 1832-1870 Ozias (7 Pitkin 1870-1886 Frank A. Hill 1886-1891 J. E. Clark 1891-1908 Alton E. Briggs 1908-1910 William C.

Ever since Mr. Keefe sat behind his desk, conducting the first class of the Chelsea Senior High School as both principal and teacher, students and graduates have owed the benefits received from education in the higher fields of knowledge, not only to the teaching they were given in the classes, but also, for the greater part, to the influence of many fine persons. Through all the understanding faculty leaders that watched their students complete their education in high school, and continue their careers later in life, superintendents and princi¬ pals who would always be a part of the rich, full memories of youthful high school days, the graduates of Chel¬ sea Senior High School, through the years, were able to acquire and develop the characters that they would carry throughout their lives. 1 he position of Superintendent of Schools which was created in 1874 because of the increasing number ol schools in Chelsea and the need of a well organized, powerful school system, since Jonathan Kimball first exercised his duties as Superintendent, has been expertly handled by his successors down through a century of 1 Iigh School’s progress. Our present superintendent, Mr. J. Frank Herlihy who has held this office for five years has capably suc¬ ceeded in helping to carry out the duties and traditions, handed down through the years and in executing his powers lor the benefit of the Chelsea schools. Having graduated from Boston College in 1928 with an A.B. degree and Boston University with a Master’s Degree in Administration in 1934, Mr. Herlihy, whom Chelsea Senior High School is proud to claim as one ot its own former teachers, has worthily proved his capabilitv as superintendent. 6

Our Favorite Mr. Webber conferring ' with Sub-master Davis. Mr. James C. Cotter, Junior Master. Capably serving with Mr. Webber is our master, Sumner M. Davis, who has maintained the same sympathetic association with students of the school, and has also helped many of them to become successful in their life ' s work by the aid of his counsel. Mr. Davis, prior to his appoint¬ ment at Chelsea Senior High School in 1921, with a B. S. degree from Bates in 1917, had taught in Mexico, Maine, and Braintree, and also served in the Canadian Army in 1918. Another of the students’ favorite confidants is Mr. Cotter, our Junior Master, one of Chel¬ seas own graduates. He received his Ph.B. degree at B. C. in 1927 and Master of Science degree, in September 1928, in addit ion to winning the Hahmann Fellowship in Chemistry. A popular figure in the high school faculty since 1934, and our own Junior Master for two years. Mr. Cotter is one ol the most energetic and popular men ever to fill this position. 8
