As we celebrate our own Commencement, we cannot help re¬ joicing also that our kindly mentor and Headmaster Mr. James J. Cotter has been blessed w T ith a sort of commencement of his own. After many years of devotion to his calling as teacher, principal of the Williams School, and Headmaster of the Chelsea High School, Mr. Cotter has withdrawn from these duties to en¬ joy a little well-earned leisure and pursue some interests of his own. Whatever these interests are, we know that they will be educational, humanitarian, and altruistic, for as the man is so are his works. And so, our own “sails unfurling”, we wish a new “gather¬ ing strength” especially to you, Mr. Cotter. Many thanks, and many wishes for your health and happiness.

FOREWORD One of the most precious traditions in our New England Heritage is the love of education. The Pilgrims barely landed on Plymouth Rock when they began to make plans to establish a school. One of the most famous universities in the world, Harvard, began to materialize almost immediately as a result of these plans. In Chelsea this New England tradition has been carefully fostered from the beginning to the present day. As early as 1655 Chelsea appropriated funds to provide free education for children of the settlement, being one of the earliest settlements to make such provisions. By 1749 the progressive leaders of the town had secured the services of a woman teacher to conduct a school to provide for secondary as well as elementary education and in 1851 Chelsea became one of the first to adopt a phonetic system of reading. A major step towards effective vocational education was taken in 1902 when commercial subjects were introduced at the Senior High School. At present our city is doing its best to provide modern facilities and equip¬ ment in all school departments to meet the needs of a progressive, democratic society.

During his tenure as principal of Chelsea High, Mr. James C. Cotter earned the respect of both faculty and students for his untiring efforts to update the school. He acquired for us a great deal of new scientific equipment and a modern Language Lab. Mr. Cotter’s aims were to encourage self-directed disci¬ pline from the students and to provide progressive teachers who would prepare students for tomorrow’s world. We wish Mr. Cotter well in his retirement and many years of health and happiness.
