MR. J. WILLIAM KENNELLY The editor-in-chief of our newspaper is J. William Kennedy, our head-master. He is a man whose chief interest lies in the students of the Chelsea High School and their welfare. Mr. Kennedy was schooled in Franklin, Massachusetts, where he studied at Horace Mann High School and later at Dean Acade¬ my. From Bates College, Maine, he received his Bachelor of Science degree. In later years he obtained his Mas? of Education degree from Boston University. It was first in 1925 that Mr. Kennedy be¬ came associated with the Chelsea school sys¬ tem when he acquired th° oosition of basket¬ ball coach at the Chelser Senior High School. He was appointed as junior master here in 1935. Ten years later he became master of Carter School, a post which he held until 1953. At this time he was appointed head¬ master of Chelsea Senior High School. Editor-in-chief Kennedy has become a friend to everyone and a guide to ad who seek his assistance. He is always available to coun¬ cil the school’s youth concerning scholastic, social, or personal problems. The cl ass of 1957 is indeed grateful to have such a fine man as their principal. Salto % MR. SUMNER M. DAVIS Mr. J. Frank Herlihy, superintendent of the Chelsea School System, has held that im¬ portant position for the past fifteen years. Mr. Herlihy was graduated from Boston Col¬ lege in 1928 with an A.B. degree and Boston University in 1934, with a Master’s degree in Administration. He is also a former Chelsea Senior High School teacher. Experience and wisdom are the factors which wed qualify Mr. Herlihy for this important post. Fulfilling the duties of Superintendent of Schools is a difficult task and Chelsea’s wed organized school system is proof that its head official is more than capable of handling its affairs. MR. FRANK HERLIHY, Superintendent Over thirty years ago, a soft-spoken, me¬ dium built man came to Chelsea to serve as submaster in our senior high school. Indeed, he has served in this position not only dili¬ gently and faithfully, but also with great respect for his fellow teachers and, of course, the students, themselves. In 1913, Mr. Davis entered Bates College where he participated in football, baseball, hockey and relay. Upon graduating from Bates, Mr. Davis received the position of submaster at Mexico High School in Maine. From 1919-1921 he served in this same position at Braintree Senior High School. In 1921, he came to Chelsea where he again became submaster. He organized and coached Chelsea’s first football team and coached the basketball and baseball teams. He was faculty manager until 1931 and since then has always spent his time working in the office. We are proud of this fine man and are deeply grateful for the fine work he has accomplished in our behalf.
