-tUnetee+i fjOSity Ain- A Brief History before the turn of the century a boy named George Brasher influenced a master r 3. A. Tucker by name to come to Scotts Hill to see if this village would be a site for founding a secondary. school. ird Holmes and Henry Austin Sr., two old bachelors met this teacher and pro- I — the fullest co-operation in his efforts to start a school of higher learning at mil. :f. Tucker began his work here in an old two-room building situated astride the cTson-Decatur county line on the south side of the main street of the town. Here rked a short while, with what he had, but the school soon outgrew its building, and aoved over to the place where the Tucker monument now stands. A two-story four-room building was erected in the late nineties to house the growing ion, which was chartered under the name Scotts Hill College, with authority to tr college degrees of L..I. and B.S. pr. 2 903 B. A. Tucker had an attack of appendicids which caused his death almost nily, thus dying at an early age-40. 5 or the remainder of 1903-1904 his brother W.F . Tucker and his long-time assoc- and friend, J.C. Duck carried on the Work of the college. But it seemed that Prof- :r Tucker ' s death paralyzed the school and it went the way of most private schools. 5 t this school operated as a two-year high school with J.A. Bobbitt, Granville Bart- lew, J.C. Duck, J.M. Austin, Ira C. Powers and others serving as Principals and r- ig valuable service. Then, in 1928 we became a four-year high school, fully accr- by the State, with P.H.Murphy, member of the present faculty as principal. Since iime these men have served as principals: Gordon H. Turner 1932-35 John S.Mur- .935-1939, J.O. Conwell 1939-1945. In the summer of 1945 J.B. Austin, who had been iber of the high school faculty for nine years was named to the principal-ship.

HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS The present senior class entered high school in the year of 1942 with an enrollment of twelve boys and eighteen girls. Five of the twelve boys. Mack Haney, Claude Jones, Ernest Montgomery, Louis Powers, and Thomas Rogers, served in some branch of the military service. Eight of the eighteen girls, Lila Rae Allen, Edna Brock, Carrie Lee Ethridge, Dora Jewell Kennedy, Robbie Lee Rodgers, Naomi Stanfill, Wilma Stanfill, had quit school before we entered the senior year. Three of our outstanding former classmates, Jean Goff, Atha Creasy , and Ila Ray Wallace, are now going to other schools and are supposed to graduate this year. The senior class of this year, 1946, had on roll at the begin¬ ning of the year six girls, Marcella Curry, Sue Scott, Delphia Thompson, Raymell White, Vernell White, and Burma Sue Pierce, now wife of John Rogers, and four boys, Willard Gurley, Victor Clemons, Curtis McPeake, who by some means became discouraged and quit school at the close of the first semester, and Howard Mitchell, who returned from the army after having served eighteen months, six months overseas. We have enjoyed his being with us and we owe him much for that which he has so courageously done. We, the seniors, wish to those who were not so fortunate to finish school, the best of success and a life of happiness. We, the seniors of the year of 1946, hope to have accomplished something that will, now and in the future, be of some benefit to us.
