-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.
