The 200th Anniversary Of The American Revolution The Class of ’76 Presents 1925-1964 Foreword Gathered within the pages of a very special edition are the treasured memories of our sesquicentennial, classmates, teachers, activities, and all that has been a part of our school life at Scotts Hill School. We hope that as you look at the following pages you will share with us some of the fondest memories. We feel that this is a very special edition since this is the year of our country’s two hundredth birthday and the hundred-fiftieth birthday of our town. Our sesquicentennial was an event that will live in our memories and this book has helped to capture some of the most outstanding moments. 1964-Present Title Page Foreword Table of Contents History of the Town and School Scenes from Sesquicentennial Favorites Dedication Principal’s Message Faculty Board of Education Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Junior High Elementary Athletics Organizations Advertisers Scenes from School 3 The History of the Scotts Hill Schools by Gordon H. Turner, Sr. No known records exist of any kind of school here before the Civil War. This is true also for the first few years following the war. The first settlers came here (from N.C.) in 1825. It may be assumed that certain families cooperated after living necessities had been provided, to assure that their children had at least elementary training in the Three R’s. General plans were agreed to by patrons signing their names to a sort of contract agreeing to pay certain amounts for the school. Such were known as subscription schools and this finance plan continued around here until well after 1900 when tax money for schools became more plentiful. Scotts Hill’s first effort toward what might be called a public school, came in 1870. In Samuel P. Winston, native of N.C. who came here in 1870 to open our first public school in a small log house. He later graduated in medicine at the Uni¬ versity of Louisville (1884) and returned here to become a successful doctor and leading citizen. He was instrumental in obtaining a much larger frame school building during the 80’s. His family later moved to Texas and then to Okla., where he prac¬ ticed medicine until his death. Annie Holmes (Mrs. Sam P.?) Winston. She wa s the daughter of Jesse and Cynthia Austin Holmes, long prominent and successful citizens. Known for their philanthropy, the Holmes gave the land for every school our town has had except the old college. Ben A. Tucker headed the famous old college from its start until his untimely death in 1903. A Method¬ ist leader, he also had a book store and published the weekly newspaper, THE SCOTTS HILL BANNER. Here is the $1,000 Scotts Hill College building erected 1895-96: three teachers; 200-odd boarding and day students; box stove heat; water from a spring; no library! B. A. Tucker with poverty, zeal, hard work, and an obsession to teach, housed here, to unprecedented standing and fame. that year one Samuel P. Winston came in to become our first teacher. He came from Hick¬ ory, N.C., where he had been teaching. The first school house - a small log structure - was built In the Jess Holmes woods just back of the present gymnasium. (Jess and Cynthia Austin gave the site for the building, and several succeeding schools were also built on their donated lands.) My father, J. S. Turner, recalled visiting this first school more than once to hear the scholars recite. The house had two windows closed by shutters in inclement weather, split-log benches, a chimney and fireplace for heat, and only a few books, always shared by students. Winston married Annie, the pretty daughter of the Holmes, in 1875 and thus became the nephew of the town ' s popular doctor, Pleasant W. Austin. Reports were that Dr. Austin soon began efforts to persuade Winston to enroll for a medical course at his (Austin’s) alma mater, the University of Louisville College of Medicine. Since Professor Winston’s salary was so meager ($15 per month) as a teacher, and since he could moonlight by practicing medicine, or vice versa, arrangements were made for Winston to enter medical training. He commuted by steamboat on the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers, made a good record attending the lectures, and still taught school here between terms - never more than three or four months in a year. Graduating in 1884 with an M.D. Degree, Winston was a success as a doctor at once back here. But he had also increased school interest and soon began urging the town to provide better quarters for a school. This picture shows the front of the frame school house erected in the 1880’s to replace the area’s first small log schoolhouse. The date is 1895 after Ben A. Tucker (extreme right rear) had come here to teach. The other teacher is Jim C. Duck, third from left, extreme back. A few of the students shown are still living (1976), - all in their 80’s and 90’s. So in the late 1880’s a frame building was erected, with two large classrooms which dou¬ bled as an auditorium. This house stood about where the gymnasium and east campus entrance now are. This larger building was filled with students in a year or so, making two and then three teachers necessary. First teacher in the new structure was Henri Heuterburg, a German, who left after one year, in 1889. Ben Davis followed (1889-90); then W. Ben and John H. Duck (brothers), 1890-91; Frank and W. Alfred Austin (1891-92); John H. and Jim C. Duck (1892-93); D. S. (Samp) Duck and William Stinson (1893-94); then Jim C. Duck, Ben A. Tucker and Myra Turner (1894-96). School interest had grown so by 1895 that Tucker and others began promotion of a larger school building, to house also a ’’college” department. He had graduated from Hunting¬ don’s Southern Normal University and had served for a term or two as superintendent of Decatur County schools and by now had an unexcelled reputation as a school promoter and administrator. The two-story frame ’’college” building was completed with local labor and materials, in time for the opening of school in September, 1896. It was located a few hundred yards from the old campus, to the northeast - on what is yet known as ’’College Ridge. ” Water for this Scotts Hill College came from a fine spring; heat was by box stoves, often fired by upperclassmen to pay for their tuition who cut the wood from the virgin timber back of the building; there were two large classrooms on the first floor; an auditorium doubled for classes upstairs and also had a stage and siderooms for extra activities and ’’exhibitions” at school closings. A small ’’office” was located also on the first floor and the ’’college” had no library except a few books loaned by teachers. For girls, an antiquated toilet was installed; boys used the deep woods still farther back! Tucker was contracted by the new Board (Henry Austin, A. L. Goff, John Austin, George Swift, Jodie Davidson, P. W. Holmes and J. S. Turner), to head the school ’’provided he 6 Big events in the short life of the Scotts Hill College were the annual picture-taking and the issuance of cata¬ logs. This picture shows the 1898-99 student body with teachers B. A. Tucker, Prin. (male on extreme left wearing black bow tie); Jim C. Duck, Asst, (male standing, extreme left); and Myra Turner (later, Mrs. John C. Graham), (center, 3rd row from front looking left). teaches the school and maintains the property! ” The salary was fixed at $45 per month, to be paid by tuition charges collected from all students from the ABC’s through three college courses offering the degrees of B. A., B. S. and L. I. Tucker’s main helper was Jim C. Duck and third teachers from time to time included Mintie Turner, Minnie Woodward, Perry Patterson and Myra Turner. Teachers helped col¬ lect the tuition ranging from $1 to $2.50 per month. The school issued annual catalogs; patronage was from several counties and town homes literally opened their doors for board¬ ing students, offering board, washing, and heat at from $4 to $5 per month. Tucker was a great Methodist leader and he also operated a bookstore and published the weekly Scotts Hill Banner. Alumni still living (1976) affirm that no better mathematician ever lived and cite the fact that the ’’college” ran advertisements in newspapers as far away as Nashville and Memphis, offering ”a solution to any problem” sent the school, either by math students or, if students failed, by Tucker himself. A charge for each problem was set at 15 £ and many were they that came in for solution from far and wide. E. D. Brigance, now of Henderson, a college student from its opening day until it closed as such in 1903, states that every problem sent the college was solved to the satisfaction of the sender, except one. Tucker worried much about it but then found out that this problem was a hoax and that a solution was impossible! But alas! Like a meteor flashing across the sky and as suddenly burning out, Tucker’s life ended on March 10, 1903, very likely, later doctors said, of appendicitis. The old ’’col¬ lege spirit” began to wane within weeks though a brother of the lamented Principal, W. Festus (’’Fed”) Tucker, Perry Patterson, C. S. Austin, Myra Turner and others tried to hold things together. All these are deceased now but in one of my last talks with my uncle, C. S. Austin, he recalled that ”no wonder that Tucker was the mainspring of the old school - for the mule- drawn wagon train of mourners which followed his body to Concord Cemetery 10 miles east 7 The ’Ted brick schoolhouse” which replaced the old college building in 1916-17. Front frame addition had been added as cloakrooms but actually became more of a firewood storage space. The belfry housed the old college bell which had become a hallmark of good schools. of town, was more than a mile long. ’ Nor would the area soon forget their First Citizen. Within days after the funeral, a com¬ mittee composed of N. N. Norton, Oscar Stephens, Lou Robbins, Sam Walton, Perry Har- bert, A. L. Goff, Dr. W. B. Keeton and Will Stubblefield (all deceased), had quickly raised funds for a pretentious monument. Unveiled on the college campus in the presence of a big-crowd, the monument was removed to a later building on the old campus (1932) where it stood until the present main structure was completed, and was then moved nearer to it. It stands there now and beside it last Fall during the town’s Sesquicentennial Celebration, a Time Capsule was buried to be unearthed in 2025. Later teachers here in the old college building, included: ”Odle and Coble”; G. G. But¬ ler, Perry Murphy and Mabel Terry (1905-1907; George L. Wortham and his wife and Her¬ bert Bagby (1907-1909); J. A. Bobbitt, John H. Duck, Granville and Alfred Bartholomew (1909-1916). Miss Mae Joyce and perhaps a few others also taught at intervals during this time. By 1915 the old college building was in disrepair, difficult to heat, and a perfect target for storms, one of which as early as 1909, had damaged it. So by 1917 a new ’’red brick” building was ready for use back on the old campus. It contained three classrooms, in line, and with movable partitions between to provide for an auditorium. School spirit was none too high now and teachers were changed often. Among those remembered for their faithful service for the next few years were: Professor James M. Austin, A. C. Tarlton, Jim C. Duck, Maida Austin, Walt White, Ruby and Gertrude Roberts, Myrtle Johnson, Jimmy Rains, and Roxie Kelley. By now World War I clouds were confusing things, schools being no exception. It was Dr. R. L. Wylie who heard of an up and coming young school teacher in the Middleburg area known as Ira C. Powers. Dr. Wylie and others persuaded Powers to come here and lead efforts to improve the school. Powers came on Sept. 12, 1921 and his efforts were as tonic for the school. Soon the ninth and tenth grades were added; Powers was named Principal and 8 This the ’’fine new” concrete block school house that replaced the ’’red brick” structure in 1925-26. The orig¬ inal building contained only the center section. The two-room ’’wing” on the right was added in 1928-29; that on the left, in 1932-33. An auditorium and stage were in the rear and the auditorium contained an ’’orchestra pit. ” Senior high school status began in the fall of 1927 and the first class graduated here in 1929. Perry Murphy was Principal. A. C. Tarlton became Principal of the grade school. Teachers named above helped out with new life on every side, following the war. Efforts began to provide still larger quarters for the ever-growing enrollment, and for the possible addition of the eleventh and twelfth grades for a senior high school. Rural schools were being consolidated and there was a general demand for a larger, better school plant here. By 1925-26, an eight-classroom concrete building was ready for occupancy and upper classes moved to it, with the brick building still used for lower grades, for the new cafeteria and for agriculture classes a little later. Cecil Milam was added to the faculty in the 1920’s as was Pauline Eason, two teachers that deserve fullest honor for their long successful years in the classroom before they retired. It was Powers and Milam largely who led the efforts for a senior high school. Senior high school status was approved by our county boards of education and by state authorities to be effective at the start of school in the Fall of 1927. Perry Murphy came back as Principal. Other high school teachers were: Ira Powers and Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Jones. The first four-year class graduated on March 29, 1929. The class flower was the pink carnation; class colors, green and white; the class motto, ’’And ? Now?” Officers were: Oren Lockhart, Pres.; Vaught Grissom, Vice-Pres.; Mildred Brasher, Sec.; and Ernest Rhodes, Treas. Fellow classmates were: Bertie and Myrtle Turner, Ruil Milam, Coyd Kel¬ ley, Jimmie Patterson, Floyd Attaway, Haywood and Clyde Smith, Edna Mitchell, Roy Tucker, Grady Brasher and Exie McCollum. Succeeding Murphy in 1931 as principal was Gordon H. Turner who, with perfect student, faculty and community cooperation, made improvements which merited the state’s highest grade for its size, at year’s end. New classrooms were added; a P.T.A. organization was formed; a splendid small library was set up; the campus was terraced and planted; a small Ag. shop was erected and equipped; and the old gymnasium was much improved. Principals after Turner, each of whom, with faculty, community and student help, con- 9 This ”monstrosity of a gymnasium” was erected by donated labor and materials in 1920. The construc¬ tion of supporting sections for the roof proved to be too much for local carpenters. An old Negro man who had experience in such buildings was brought in from Linden to supervise the job. His huge wooden beams were looked upon here as an engineering mas¬ terpiece . This is a view of the first gymnasium after ’Modern¬ izing” mostly by larger boys of the school. Com¬ pleted in 1934 locker, dre ssing and toilet facilities had been provided in extensions to the back end of the building. Water for baths and toilets came from large steel tanks atop big posts, caught from rain water and carried to the tank by gutters. During off- basketball seasons, many men and boys of the twon came for baths to the boy’s dressing room. This became so popular later that women and girls came also to utilize the girls’ showers! The indoor toilets were the school’s first and were among the first ever seen in the area. tinued to make improvements, have been: John Murphy, 1935-39; J. O. Conwell, 1939-45; Jesse B. Austin, 1945-51; A. L. Sparks, 1951-52; Frank Rains, 1952-63; Lealon Wyatt, 1963-67; Wayne Stanfill, 67-70; Dock Woody, 1970 till the present. (Jerry Ivey was Princi¬ pal most of 1973-74.) In their own quarters during the last quarter-century, the athletic, home economics and agriculture departments of our school almost merit separate stories. The first gymnasium, without dressing rooms, baths, lockers or even toilets, was a mon¬ strous ”shang-hi” structure built wholly by local labor and donated lumber. On cold nights the crowds would huddle around two huge pot-bellied, wood-burning stoves to watch the usually hotly contested basketball games. Those who lacked the 100 to 150 admission, often watched through the big cracks in the walls! During Turner’s principalship, his Manual Training Boys spent a year weatherboarding and painting the gymnasium; installing windows around the top; adding locker rooms, bathing facilities and toilets (Scotts Hill’s first such modern facilities!) Then in 1950 a beautiful modem gymnasium was erected - still in use. 1950-Present 1964-Present The History of Scotts Hill by Gordon H. Turner, Sr. Micajah ( Cager”) Scott 1787-1853 Scotts Hill was named for him; he was its first merchant and was progenitor of the many early Scotts of the area. The present cafeteria was built during the 1950 ' s, which also housed in one end, the home economics department. This department was moved in 1958-59 to the older Church of Christ building which was bought for the purpose and connection to the new school plant (The Church of Christ moved to its new building erected on the former Dr. Wylie homesite, which lot was donated for the church building after Dr. and Mrs. Wylie died - 1958 - by their son’s family, the Dr. Paul E. Wylies.) The modern agriculture building was completed in the early 1950 ' s. Our present magnificent (main) school building replaced the time-worn concrete block house in 1964-65. It has every device for safety, convenience and comfort. Principal Dock Woody with a staff of 41 teachers and helpers, is advancing fast to the ultimate in quality education. It would take a long chapter to tell of our present school. But this very Yearbook (1976) does at least partial justice to it with names, pictures and activity description. In 1825 Charles Austin and a few friends from Anson County, North Carolina, rode their horses into the woods a mile and a half from the western edge of what was later to be Scotts Hill. The area with its virgin timber looked favorable for staking out land claims, and they made camp by a fine spring. After looking around for a few days, and with Indians just gone, they decided that this was the place! They hacked trees to denote their first claims to surrounding .lands and rushed back to bring their families to the new area and build cabins before winter set in. The route here, from old records, was from Anson County by Charlotte and Ashville; over the mountains to Newport; then by Knoxville, Sparta, Colombia, Clifton, and on here. The long hard trip took over a month each way and the caravan coming back was made up of two-wheeled carts, covered wagons, oxens, horses, dogs, and a few cattle and hogs. The relatively pretentious log residence of Charles Austin was thrown together enough to house his family of five children before hard winter came. Farm lands were soon laid out for the settlers. Coming with the Austins and soon after were families with such names as Scott, Maners, Jones, Duck, Holms, Murphy, O ' Neal, Eason, Turner, Clenney, Medline, ect. The growth of the little nameless settlement was slow due to no transportation or communi¬ cation to speak of. But at length, when a road was clear from Clifton to Lexington, more and more settlers came, making their homes on or nearer the big road and shifting the first settlement toward what was to be Scotts Hill. The first merchant was Micajah (Cager) Scott, whose trading post was atop the hill across from the present Methodist Church and above a fine spring. Due to his honesty and store location, the hamlet, in the 1840 ' s took the name Scotts Hill - the only such name in 150 years in all the United States. Now the town was growing though meal and flour were ground by ox, mule, or water power, mail service was very poor, medicine was largely home-made, lighting was by candles, washing was done at the spring, and cooking was in fireplaces of stick and din chimneys. Brought-on goods, mostly sugar and coffee, tobacco, and calico and domestic dry goods came by steamboat to Swallow Bluff or Point Pleasant to be hauled here by farmers who had hauled a few crossties to the river for ready cash-shipped for use on expanding rail¬ roads. But times were enlivened by log-rollings, corn huskings, and square dances. Our first post office began operation on August 1, 1850, in a corner of Cager’s store, and with Dr. William Brigance as postmaster. War clouds were gathering, however, and this area was not passed up. Most people around here were Union sympathizers, but there were enough Southern loyalists to make things exciting. Jesse Holmes had opened a general store before the war and served as postmaster during the war. Ephraim Austin, soon after, built a big residence and also a big store and water¬ mill. During the 1870 ' s and 1880 ' s, stagecoaches ran through here on the Clifton-Lexington mn, but a few years later railroads came through Lexington and Warriors Bluff, thus sup¬ planting stagecoaches. Doctors here during the 1860-1900 era were Pleas W. Austin, William H. Beville, Sam P. Winston, W. B. Keeton, Tav Rogers, Robert Keeton, and Robert L. Wylie. An 1886 listing of merchants here was: Jesse Holmes and Son, Brown and Co., and Wood¬ ward Austin and Co. About this time Dr. Frank Austin, dentist, teacher, and promoter, built the large frame Central Hotel as gay socially as it was commercial, until it finally went up in the big fire of 1917. Merchants here around the turn of the century included: Asa Woodward, Henry and Ed Austin, J. G. (Gobe) Scott, W. D. Brown, A. L. Goff, J. W. and Wes Patterson, Charlie Austin, lessee Holmes, J. M. and Tom Brasher, and Jim McClanahan. The Farmers State Bank was organized in 1906 with P. Woodward Holmes as cashier. It grew from the start in assets, service and strength and in the confidence of the public and government officials. Our Year of Near Destruction” was 1917. On May 27, a tornado swept away the east end of town, and on October 16, ”The Great Blaze” took out all 12 business houses, the post office, barbershop, grist mill, and five residences. But the town wasn’t born to die so soon, and within months it was built back better; and within a few years the disasters were memories. Yet, in 1926, a second fire went through the east business district with much destruction. The first automobile here was a Model T Ford bought in 1914 by J. A. McClanahan. Within weeks, Drs. Keeton and Wylie had like cars. The first telephone service was installed by the Stantonville Telephone Company in 1906. Later the Peoples Telephone Company was organized for which W. A. Austin was the long manager. Monthly dues were 15 cents. Scotts Hill was incorporated in 1921 with Tom McKenzie as Mayor. Supplanting a few Delco home lighting plants, the first public electric service came to Scotts Hill in 1934. The first organized church was the Christian Church which in 1901 began to use the name of Church of Christ. The first meeting house was erected by men and boys in 1888 on the site of a later brick building, now the school’s Home Economics quarters. The present meeting house was erected in 1959-60 on the site of the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. L. Wylie. Methodism began in this area mostly through efforts of Romulus S. Swift, an eminent evangelist who came here before the Civil War. In 1885-86 the congregation moved from Bethel to a small frame structure on the present site. In 1943-44 a pretty concrete building replaced the long frame structure which had supplanted the first small house in the 1890’s. The Holiness (Pentecost) Church had its beginning in 1915-16 after tent meetings. A house was the first meeting place but in 1917 a small frame house was erected on land given by the John Thompsons. In 1931 a new concrete black building replaced the small frame structure. The building was bricked in” and modernized a few years ago. The first organized Baptist Church, here came into existence in 1947 when right members began meeting in the home of the late Mrs. A. A. Tolley. A meeting house was completed in the 1950 ' s and in the past two years, the house has been enlarged and modernized. And so is and has been for 150 years, Scotts Hill, Tennessee. 13 m a 3 fey ▼ k yri 1 William Tagg Representing Senator Baker U.S. Senator Robin Beard Baseball Extravaganza Patriotic Mass Meeting and Time Capsule Burial ' V p v kk • ? fITmsH 5i hSBBm ■ i r n K . .

The hours of work are very many. Without the help and co-operation of everyone, our dream could not have become a reality. We owe a very special thanks to Mr. Gordon Turner for the stories and pictures about our school and town. We would like to express our appreciation to Mr. Hampton for the artwork. Mr. Woody has been very co-operative in our work. He never refused to grant us permission to sell ads, make pictures, or any work we needed to do. Also he made many pictures for us. We could not fail to mention Mr. Carr who supplied us with many pictures. Also The Moore Studio of Jackson has done much picture work for us. THE PARSONS NEWS LEADER supplied many pictures of the sesquicentennial. We would also like to express our appreciation to everyone who bought advertisements or a yearbook. Without the help and co-operation of everyone, we would never have had the ’76 Lion.

Your untiring efforts since 1966 have helped class after class make a yearbook they could be proud of just as you’ve helped us. We were also very proud to hear you were voted Teacher of the Year by the Jaycees. We don’t think it could have gone to anyone more deserving than you. We dedicate this page to you to show our appreciation for all your interest, concern, and long hours of hard work. Your devoted efforts and high standards have helped us to make this yearbook a treasured reminder of our days here at Scotts Hill School. The Senior Class
