. . an At the end of his first year as principal, this picture of Mr. Scott appeared in the l927 BOOSTER. ln l926 Central was the only high school in the city. As a four-year school it provided for grades nine through twelve. Promotions and graduations were semi-annual occurrences. A third graduation ceremony took place at the end of a six-week summer session. The l937 BOOSTER shows him at his desk in the office now occupied by the commercial department. Within ten years two additional high schools, Logan and Aquinas, were established in the city. Central became a six-year school housing grades seven through twelve. The en- rollment was l55O. The depression brought with it the discontinuance of the summer ses- sions in l932. H- A -more informal picture in the 1947 BOOSTER was taken in his present office. By l94O, the junior high grades were removed, and Central became what it has remained since then, a three-year school. A six-period day replaced the previous nine. ln l94l Mr. Scott moved into the offices vacated by the city superinten- dent. Because of the adoption of the single annual promotion, the last mid- year class graduated in January, l949. This signature appears on 8,636 diplomas. Page 7
