Mr. R.L. Lacy Concludes 28 Years of Service When Halifax County says good-bye to Mr. R. L. Lacy, it says good-bye not only to Mr. Lacy, the school superintendent for 28 years, but also to Mr. Lacy, math teacher, baseball and basketball coach and principal. But of all Mr. Lacy ' s contributions, Hali¬ fax County remembers him best as the man who led the drive for the consolidation of nine small, out-dated county high schools into one modern HCHS. The consolidation was such a vast success that school admini¬ strators from many Virginia and out-of-state areas have sought Mr. Lacy ' s advice on con¬ solidation of schools. HCHS is a living monument to his fore¬ sight and service to all of Halifax County. The elementary school building program, al¬ so, was greatly extended during Mr. Lacy ' s administration. Many small, out-moded ele¬ mentary schools became modern, up-to-date learning centers. We say good-bye to Mr. Lacy only as superintendent, not as a friend, for he will always be here to listen to problems and give advice. A man worthy of listening to and a good listener also, said Director of Instruction Frank Chaffin about his boss. Mr. Lacy has a bachelor ' s degree from the University of Richmond where he majored in mathematics and a master ' s degree from Teacher ' s College of Columbia University in New York. 29
