Mr. Kennedy was a very good principal and a stern disciplinarian. He was fair in his dealings with the students and cared wholeheartedly for our well-being. Because of his no-nonsense style of management, Wenonah High School produced top-rated, academically successful graduates, who have served and worked in highly valued positions located in various professional venues throughout this country.

I would assume that most of us who are still alive are retired, and perhaps a few are employed post-retirement. Mr. Kennedy was an outstanding representative of academia, and I'm sure that the high standard of excellence he placed on his students will continue to be embraced by those who follow after us, at "That Bright Star On The Hill."
