Frank L. Smart came to Davenport as high school principal in 1906 and was appointed superintendent the following year. Born at Mt. Gilead, Ohio, in 1862, he attended Northern Indiana Normal at Valparaiso, and was graduated from Harvard in 1896. He was listed in Who's Who and last year the name of West Intermediate was changed to the Frank L Smart Intermediate.
