HADLEY In paying tribute to Dr. Hadley, we quote from the December 30, l955, issue of The Tuscaloosa News. Resignation of City Schools Superintendent J. H. Hadley to accept a position as assistant to State Superintendent' of Education opens up a wider field of service for a man who has given unstintingly of his time and effort for the better- ment of education in Alabama. Since Dr. Hadley first took office as city school superintendent, growth has been the keyword for the school system. lt has been a period of unprecedented expansion for educational facilities in Tuscaloosa. We believe Dr. Hadley deserves much credit for the initiative and drive that has gone into the pro- gram for improving our schools here. Our principal, Mr. J. R. Pittard, in his new office. Much thought and planning went into moving into our new building, establishing new policies and coordinat- ing all of the activities of our school and Mr. Pittard has succeeded well in all of i these endeavors. l 4 l
