The Raleigh City Schools changed superintendents in February 19i2. Our school, the Needham B.

Gaddy had been Superintendent of the Raleigh City Schools for five and one-half years when he left in February 1942 to become Superintend- ent of Rex Hospital. The work that he did with the schools speaks for itself. His day started early and ended late. He did his job well. l'xIr. Gaddy left of his own accord. He liked Raleigh and as he looked toward the future, he wanted it to still be his home. He was more assured of this by taking t.he work at Rex Hospital. In so doing he .hopes to continue to serve the people of Raliegh. 144
