Prof. A.C. Lovelace, native of Rutherford County who was superintendent of schools at Sylva in Jackson County, has been elected by then city school board as High School principal of the Shelby schools, to succeed Prof. J. Horace Grigg, who recently resigned to become county superintendent of education in Cleveland County.
Prof. Lovelace was first principal of Round Hill Academy in Rutherford County and later attended Wake Forest College, where he was graduated in 1916. While there, he took a high stand in academic work and was assistant in English in the college. After his graduation, he was professor of English in Coker College, Hartsville, S.C., while Dr. E. Walter Sikes was president of the institution. At the outbreak of the war, he enlisted for service and made a splendid record. After his discharge, he returned to his native county of Rutherford and for five years was principal of that school. For the past two years, he has been superintendent of the Sylva graded school.
Prof. Lovelace is splendidly equipped for his duties, and the school officials of Shelby feel fortunate it being able to find a man that is so well qualified of the position.
