LUBEC — Robert T. Hall, who was superintendent for the Lubec School System for 11 years, this week was memorialized by his widow, Elizabeth Hall, who donated to the school system a bronze bust of her husband and $10,000 trust fund that will generate an annual Robert T. Hall scholarship.

The first Robert T. Hall Memorial Scholarship will be presented by one of his two sons, W. Lawrence Hall of Brewer, at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 10, at the Lubec High School graduation. Hall owns the Hall Security Services Inc. of Brewer.

The recipient, selected by the LHS Scholarship Committee, must be a most worthy LHS senior who will continue studies in either the field of education or administration. The actual awarding of the $500 scholarship will be made in January, 1991, contingent on the student’s completion of a first semester of satisfactory academic work in a college or university.

According to LHS Principal Chet Hubbard, interest from Mrs. Hall’s $10,000 gift should enable the Scholarship Committee to award two Robert T. Hall scholarships each year, beginning in 1991.

Hubbard also said the generous gift includes a stipulation enabling the committee to make the scholarship available to other worthy LHS graduates if no deserving graduates were selectable from either the field of education or administration. “Both the recipient and an alternate would be selected by the committee,” he said.

School officials met recently with Zachary Walston, Manager of the Lubec branch of the Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Co., and invested the Hall family’s gift in a high interest-bearing Certificates of Deposit account.

Superintendent Hall was born July 3, 1899 at Camden, N.J. He attended the Englewood for Boys School at Englewood, N.J. In 1932 he became the school’s first headmaster. He graduated from the Howe School for Boys at Howe, Ind.; attended Bates College in Lewiston; and graduated from Princeton University with a masters degree in education. His years as a school administrator included the period from 1954 to 1965 as superintendent at Lubec.

His military service began during World War I with his elistment in the U.S. Navy that included a two-year tour of duty during 1917 and 1918. In World War II, he was a Lt. Commander aboard the USS Florence Nightingale, an attack transport that served in the European and Pacific theaters of war.

After the war, he was hired as an executive for the Veterans Administration at Togus. Later, he was transferred to Bangor as a Veterans Administration regional manager for northeastern Maine.

In Bangor, he organized the Bangor Chapter of the DeMolay and was the chapter’s first advisor.

He and Elizabeth H. Files of Dedham married and raised two sons, W. Laurence Hall of Bangor and Dr. Robert T. Hall Jr., a mathematics professor at Guam University on the Island of Guam.

Hall died Sept. 27, 1984 at Ellsworth. According to his family, two bronze busts of him were made by Steve Searles of New Jersey. One of the artworks was donated to the Englewood School. His widow donated the other art piece to the Lubec school system.

Hubbard said Monday that the bust of the former LHS superintendent would be displayed in a glass case in the Lubec High School Library. Also, a plaque will soon be fashioned to explain the Robert T. Hall Scholarship and will be displayed in the school. The principal said he sent a letter to Mrs. Hall on behalf of the school system, thanking her and the Hall family for the two most generous and needful gifts intended to inspire and encourage Lubec students.
