FIFTY YEARS 01' GROWTH This year Scott Community High School is observing its Golden Anniversary. ln recognition of this the Beaver Staff reviews for you by word and picture some glimpses into the past. The then and now history starts back fifty years ago when the school opened with one faculty member and thirteen students. Then, the highschool occupied one room upstairs in the grade school building which was located on the site of the present Scott County Hospital. In 1908 the grade school moved to its present location and the high school occupied the entire old building. Four new rooms were added in 1920 to make more space for the rapidly growing school. The Scott County High School became the Scott Community High School in 1925 when the control was given to a six man board of education. A study hall and vocational agriculture room were added in 1926. Finally, in 1930 the school moved to the new, modern building on Main Street. Fifty years have seen many changes in Scott Community High School. The enrollment has increased from 13 students in 1901 to an all time high of 289 in 1948. The first graduation class in 1905 had three members: Samuel W. Filson, Lester F. Filson, and Benjamin A. Card. ln 1940 the largest class ever to grad- uate numbered 70. Over the half century a total of 1371 students have graduated from our school. ln those fifty years our school has grown from a single room upstairs in the old grade school building to a three building campus with lighted athletic field and tennis courts. But fifty years have not changed the spirit of Scott Community High School. Our growing numbers have increased the volume of our yells at games, but the essential inner feeling of loyalty and love of our school has been the same in each student for halfa century and it will be the same in the year 2001. 1901
