She always had a kind word for her students and finished her career as the head of the English Department. After that career, she deserved a nice retirement but Archie decided to give back to her city and run for Danville City Council. She won her election, won three re-election bids and even became Mayor of Danville from 1998 to 2000. Ruby Archie became a true ambassador of Danville, always having a smile on her face. <\/p>\n<p>Tonight, Ruby Archie announced that she would not run for a fifth term on Council. Danville will have a great void to fill on Council and Archie&#8217;s voice will be sorely missed.<\/p>\n<p>I salute Ruby Archie for her exemplary service to both the students of Danville and the city of Danville itself. I hope that she enjoys her well-deserved retirement.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I predicted this would happen in this SC article, I asked Ruby Archie to make SouthsideCentral a liar by running for re-election.
