The one due from the Cast at 10 a. m. made connections with the Lockport and Niagara Falls'Railroad and there was always a crowd on hand to witness its arrival. Sometimes it was late. There was a character always on hand named john Moye, better known as iLucy Long,' as he was con- tinually singing or whistling that song. He was a peanut peddler, and quite a mimic. When the packet was late he would cross the canal and get behind thc piles of stones, always piled there for shipment in those days. Placing his hands up to his mouth he would imitate the packet. horn so perfectly that people waiting in the Lockport House across thc street would rush out and over to the dock only to find it was 'Lucy' on the towpath giving them thc laugh. CFrom Souvenir History of Niagara County. New York - 1902.1 1861 -Isaac Sly-But tragedy came to Isaac Sly. The regiment reached Washington on June 28th and on the 5th of july was attached to General Pat- terson's company in Martinsburg, Va. On the llth, Company A, while on a scouting expedition, met the cavalry of the enemy, and had one man killcd- Isaac Sly of Lockport. lFrom Illustrated History of Niagara Co. - 18780 1901 -Beta Epsilon was just one of several social fraternities and. sororities that have come and gone. Now the Hi-Y and the Y-Teens are the names given to these social groupsi Even in the Hi-Y, Greek letters can be found in the names of individual chap- ters. l910-Old Home Week- In educational institu- tions, Lockport is well off. It is the home of the first Union School in the State of New York, now thc Lockport High School. The records of the statc educational department reveal an enviable standing for this historic institution of learning. The Lockport Board of Education is composed of citizens devoted to the cause of education, and they spare no time or aains in the promotion of its highest interests. fFrom Official Souvenir, Old Home Week, -July 24-30, 1910.l l925 - The year 1925 is significant in the annals of :he City of Lockport. It marks the hundredth anni- tgersary of the opening of the Erie Canal and thc sixtieth anniversary of the incorporation of the city. True, a century is not a long time in the history of a community. But to have those years filled with sound prosperity is a tribute to those generations that have gone on before and left behind a thriving city as a living monument to their efTorts. fFrom the fore- word of the souvenir, Old Home Week, -1925.1 3948-Need we be reminded of today? This is our ay.

Scene Scene II - THEN .QND Now From the horse and buggy to the helicopter, from oil lamps to neon lights, from parlor heaters to solar furnaces, from handpower to atomic energy, from the town crier to television - that is perhaps the story from 1848 to 1948. Certainly with such strides as these, education could not stand still if it were to meet life in a changing world. To veer from chronology seems a necessity to show how life in the classroom has changed from the days when the Old Union School opened as a spacious stone edifice, the grounds provided with stone walks, shade trees, and other requisite con- veniences. Changed from the days of the New Union School building, commodious, convenient, centrally located, and scientifically planned and con- structed, one of the best, if not decidedly the best. public school building in the State. III - FAMOUS PEOPLE To pay tribute to all the men and women who have played a part in the development of Lockport, or of its schools, would require a full evening's perform- ance. It is with regret that-we can give only a few brief sketches. Those we have chosen are merely representative of phases of democratic life: freedom of the press, the right to vote, tolerance, education, and family life. Surely every Lockportian has influenced one of these in some small way. en s . 8- V ' e - E'sa'L,E.s.ii'.'l,'5r2.'L.k1'g Vfnsii, vim., cn- cusrozl noon: Ann anon sronr. genus msg nn smss 1-f-ef+.-'wf-1-.11--s Reeeeeu- -M g, .?1 r.::.?. s:.. f qj get me mneirrs General :ummm Agway.

II - THE SCHOOL OF TOMORROW The office of a school administrator, any school in America. just as thc style of dress, automotive design and architectural form change, so must the theories and principles of education be altered to meet the demands of our rapidly moving existence.

The educational process has a pronounced effect on every phase of life beginning in the home and making itself felt throughout the world. The future homes of America are in the making.
