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.

DUR ADMINISTRATION .. .s . -..Q - In Mr. Harold Greer, our assistant principal, we find a rare combination of disciplinarian and friend to the students, Attendance supervisor for our large high schoal is an important iob well done by Mr. Greer. Our Miss Brooks turned office secretary instead of school teacher is Mrs. Verna Borden, who is Mr. Pittard's secretary and arranger of schedules, A demon for work, Mrs. Bardon is the one to see if your schedule is to be changed. Our photographer was lucky to catch Mr, Tennis Jackson seated long enough to take his picture. Mr. Jackson, a trained engineer, is in charge of all school maintenance. ln a building as large and complex as ours, this requires an able iackvof-alletrades. Mrs. Bessie Mae Lewis, our bookkeeper, smiles ap- proval of her beautiful new office which is adjacent to the guidance suite, Mr. Greer's office and the central office. We are fortunate to have a person who com- bines efficiency with friendliness and helpfulness to stu- dents and teachers alike.
