9 THE U N ION-ENDICOTT T 1 G E R GEORGE H. NICHOLS In dedicating this issue to George H. Nichols, the “Tiger” pays tribute to a citizen who has served Endicott unselfishly for twenty-seven years. Since 1912, Mr. Nichols has been an active member of the Endicott Board of Education. Then there were only two schools in existence here. The Loder Avenue building served as the high school, while Broad Street School housed the grades. Mr. Nichols can be justly proud of the fact that he has helped effect the growth of the village educational system from humble beginnings to its present status. Other members of the Board in 1912 on which Mr. Nichols began his career were George J. Ames, David C. Warner, John L. Barton and George H. Hart. At that time, L. R. Mooney was supervising principal and slightly more than a thousand students attended. “It was the following year that a vacancy occurred in the administrative post,” Mr. Nichols recalled. “Mr. Crumb, then principal at West Winfield, was among the applicants and was selected for the position.” In 1925 after thirteen years’ experience in school affairs, Mr. Nichols became president of the Board of Education, succeeding Alphonsus L. Bowes. An article iConUnuod on ] ape 21)

0 THE U N I 0 N-E NDICOTT T I G E R TIGER DELEGATION TRAVELS TO NEW YORK l akes Part in Columbia Conference Many a student gazed with envy when he saw five members of the U-E High School leave town with suitcases in hands Thursday afternoon, March 16. • 1 knew their writing was bad, but 1 didn't think that they would have to leave town!” They might have said that for the bon voyants were Harry Love, Garth Miller, Juanita Mcrkes, Grant Johnson and Robert J. Spencer, staff heads and faculty adviser of the “Tiger,” on their way to attend the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association conferences at Columbia University, New York City. Arriving in the big town at Midnight, they registered at the Regent Hotel. The trip was a combination journey, for they attended the meetings and conferences at the University as well as reaped a wealthy knowledge of metropolitan life in New York City. Perhaps the best remembered of the activ- ities while in New York was the NBC television tour and the stage plays which the delegation attended as well as the practical ideas they received at the Columbia meetings in improv- ing this publication. GOOD LUCK! The members of the staff of the “U-E Tiger” would like to congratulate per- sonally each one of the 280 members of the June graduating class. As this is an impossibility, we take this method of wishing all of you the happiest possible life and the most successful career that you can aspire to. To commence life on your own is an entirely new problem. However, we feel that with the training you have had at U-E you will make the most of your ability and surge forward to your goal. Good luck! —The Staff CO-EDITOR JOHNSON LEAVES “TIGER” IN JUNE Member of Staff Since '36 Grant Johnson, co-editor of the U-E Tiger, began his journalistic career as literary editor of the H. B. E.
