Scott ’74, Political Science
Deputy State
Controller and Vice President of the California State
Bar
Windie
Scott first marched into history wearing a tartan
skirt and carrying a trumpet for the Sacred
Heart Academy marching band. This may not seem
significant except that Scott was one of three
children selected from a segregated Catholic School
in Biloxi, Miss., to integrate the previously
all-white Sacred Heart Academy in 1967. Although Brown

in the South, and the first schools to experience
desegregation were the private parochial schools
such as Our Mother of Sorrows. Read
