On mountains, oceans, and on island sands. Today, the spears of ruthless war are hurled. Yet we have faith that some day war will cease: And so, while we await the dawn of peace. Let us light candles in a shadowed world. Fannie Medbury Pendleton j Instructor in English j Union-Endicott High School I The Union-Endicott Tiger Three Opportunity Lies In Education Opportunity lies in education for edu- cation enables one to recognize opportunity when it comes. It also creates the ability to make opportunity. The cause of education would be fur- thered if the term “compulsory’' were never applied. In the not too distant past, when a chance for schooling was some- thing to be sought and often only dreamed of, the educated man or woman was an object of envy. A grade school certificate was viewed with respect and a high school diploma was regarded with something akin to awe. Only a few attained the eminence of a college or university degree. Today young people are rushing through their formative years with the prospect of a lucrative job obscuring the means of obtaining it. High salaries in war work have induced too many to adopt a short-sighted view. Those who are planning to ignore the call to return to school in the fall are forgetting the years when jobs were hard to get and no em- ployer with an inviting offer would con- sider an applicant who had not completed a four year course in a secondary school. Those times will come again—but quickly. The government is joining local educators in urging both parents and pupils to con- sider these facts seriously. For June graduates advanced schooling is offered. These advantages are not only for the financially able. Those who are willing to work may make their own op- portunities to attend college. There are many jobs offered in the colleges them- selves—jobs that can be handled along with a regular schedule of classes. Some young people prefer to work for a period ( Continued on Page 21) Memorials For ages, man has constructed, inten- tionally or inadvertently, numerous monu- ments cherished by future generations. There will be monuments as long as there is man and life, since life produces the reasons for erecting them. Man builds memorials to commemorate forever the deeds and accomplishments of distin- guished men or to perpetuate in the minds of posterity the significance of specific oc- currences of wide acclaim. In today's world, one can find monu- ments dedicated to various ancient civiliza- tions. The Appian Way, peerless objects of sculpture and art, an aqueduct system in operation at the present time, the cata- combs, the gigantic Colosseum, and the establishment of a code of laws are all monuments to Roman ingenuity. Ancient Greek civilization also made great contributions to mankind. Fore- most is the founding of democratic govern- ment. The beauty of Greek architecture is symbolized by the Acropolis and Par- thenon. Its philosophies arc still studied today. The Phoenicians are remembered by their gift of our present alphabet while the sphinx and the royal tombs and pyramids are monuments to Egyptian engineering. In Mexico the Aztec Indians constructed temples of worship, which proclaim to the world the advancement of their builders. Throughout the pages of history, there have never been, and undoubtedly never will be, more powerful and significant memorials than those eternal memorials dedicated to Our Lord, Jesus Christ. The world, with all its complexities and mir- acles of nature, is a living monument to the Glory of God. Every Christian church, regardless of denomination, is an individu- Four The Union-Endicott Tiger al memorial of the Divinity of Christ. Every loyal Christian, through his actions and beliefs, is a monument to God and His divine principles. Next to God, probably the most potent individual instigator of memorials is the arch-enemy of humanity. War. Man does not erect monuments to War itself. The memorials are erected in honor of the men who fight the wars in behalf of certain civilized principles, and to men who die nobly so that the principles of decency and democracy shall not be denied to posterity. Thus a free and independent United States is a monument to the sacri fice of the courageous pioneers of 1775. A nation united in action, principles and be- lief, is a monument to the staunch men of the North and their immortal leader, Abraham Lincoln. A quarter of a century ago in a war to end war the peace-loving people of the world rose in formidable defiance of a tyrant nation. When it ended, innumer- able monuments were raised in honor of the fallen heroes. Each allied nation dedi- cated a tomb to its Unknown Soldier. In France, cemeteries, crowded with white crosses, were consecrated in memory of the dead interred there. All over the world free men commemorated those who made their freedom possible. In 1939, from the same nation that dis- rupted the tranquillity of the world in 1914. emanated ominoqs roars of thunder followed rapidly by a deluge of blood. Thus the nativity of World War II ridi- culed the aims of its predecessor. By De- cember 1941, most of the civilized world was blanketed by a deathly pall, as Ger- many was abetted in her conflict against humanity by Italy and Japan. The significance of the earlier monu- ments has been to some degree shattered by this atrocious struggle. The principles for which men fought and died were again brought under scrutiny. Even the war- riors’ graves were descrated from the effects of modern warfare. To the men of 1918, man built ma terial monuments, lifeless memorials of marble and granite. He consecrated inno- cent white crosses, row after row. in their honor. Yet. he failed to build the only significant monument to their glory, the one tribute worthy of their sacrifice.—a world of peace and brotherhood. Following this catastrophe, men will undertake once more the task of rearing monuments to the men who fought in World War II. There will be many more Unknown Soldiers from whose swollen ranks they may choose. There will be many more names to be engraved. Each history book will be a monument to the dead for each will extol their irre- vocable right to glory. But we must not allow these to be the significant monu- ments. There can be but one of intrinsic value—a lasting peace. It would be sacri- legious. in the most keenly defined sense of the word, if this world were ever plunged again into another mortal conflict. It would mock the sacrifices of our present heroes as those of their fathers were mocked. A lasting peace can be achieved only by propagating the principles of brother- hood, freedom, democracy, and the divine teachings of God to every inhabitant of the globe. As our late beloved president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose accomplishments themselves are monuments dedicated to the betterment of humanity, said. The struc- ture of world peace can not be the work of one man, or one party, or one nation: (Continued on Page 20) Five The Union-Endicott Tiger Music Head Leaves U.-E. Mr. Thomas L. Gillespie leaves the Endicott school system this year after twenty-five years of loyal service. His position as head of the local music depart ment will be filled by Mr. Acton Ostling. who has worked with Mr. Gillespie dur ing the past eighteen years. In the early nineteen hundreds, when fewer than one thousand pupils were en- rolled in the Endicott system, one teacher taught both the art and music. Later the departments were divided and two teachers employed. Four violin players and a pianist comprised the orchestra and each year the best singers presented an operetta. When Mr. Crumb heard of the fine work done in music in Liverpool. Fayette- ville. and Manlius, he became interested and the result was that Mr. Thomas Gil- lespie came to the town where he has made his home for the past quarter of a cen- tury. He concentrated on vocal work at first and soon instituted a “voice culture class'' which developed into an a cappella choir. This choir has won first national honors in contests held in Albany. Atlantic City, and New York. Under his direction and instruction, the high school orchestra has been much enlarged and improved. Seven years after Mr. Gillespie’s arrival. Mr. Ostling. also a graduate of Ithaca College, entered the department and organized a band. Mr. Gillespie has raised the a cappella choir to top honors in the national field. The orchestra has won state awards, and the band has become one of the best in the state. The youngest member of the group, the fife and drum corps, under Mr. THOMAS I.. GILLESPIE Ostling’s direct supervision, has brought back an enviable number of trophies from state meets in Mt. Vernon, where it com- peted with corps from several states. In Endicott. musical education begins in the lowest grades and offers every stu- dent an opportunity for instruction. Largely due to Mr. Gillespie’s influence, the village has become widely known as one that has and appreciates good music. Alumni frequently visit rehearsals of the a cappella choir to express publicly their appreciation of the leader’s abilities and accomplishments. Although we shall look forward to seeing Mr. Gillespie around the town and to following his work with other groups, we shall not be able to find him here when we return to U.-E. So we take this opportunity to say. “Thank you. Mr. Gillespie, and good luck!’’ Six The Union-Endicott Tiger Looking Back In the U.-E. Tiger Ten years ago the graduation issue of the U.-E. Tiger carried a picture of Miss Gladys Mersereau who was retiring as a joint advisor of the magazine. On the same page appeared a poem by Dr. Frank Tymeson. now a local dentist but a senior in U.-E. at that time. A large crossword puzzle by David Lewis '38. a captain in the air force when reported missing in ac- tion last fall, started with a six letter word meaning the name of the high school prin- cipal. The sports page carried a story abou: spring football practice with names that became famous in school history. Glenn Tymeson. brother of Gale and cousin of Frank, was among the thirty-nine who put in an appearance on the field. The girls rated nearly a column with baseball and hockey activities. The junior class had organized for the first time and had purchased their rings. Crawford Stahl, who is now on leave of absence from the Endicott music depart ment for the duration, was named presi- dent. An article by Naomi Lachman’36 traced the growth of the school system from 1915 when there were thirty-nine teach- ers and only two schools. The high school met in what is now the George Washing- ton Junior High. Miss Lachman went out on a limb to predict that the population of Endicott might well double during the next ten years and she foretold the start of a college here. Since that time Syracuse University has offered two years of college training to local graduates. Channing Pollock's The Fool was the senior play under the direction of Mrs. (Continued on Page 22) When Years Roll By When years roll by And some of us are here. And life Has changed our ways, We shall no longer find The joy and care-free atmosphere Of these and other well-lived days. You and I can never share again In the same way The simple things that veiled our sweet society. Each heart holds its memories. And, as they lose themselves in folds of time, May we meet again. • E. M. 'S. '45 Class History With the advent of June. wre find our- selves reviewing the memories of our high school years. We are the only class whose entire four years has been spent under the shadow of the war. Often, in the whirl of our own activities, we could almost for- get it, but it was always there underneath. In some respects, our activities were limited by it. Our school career, however, opened with the usual fury. For the first day or so, in true U.-E. fashion, we managed to be lost innumer- able times in the swarming mass of human- ity. This phase did not last long and. by January we were able to show the proper amount of superiority to the incoming vic- tims. As Juniors we experienced a thrill when we came back in the fall and saw our friends again. Time was passing swiftly and we were rushed along. (Continued on Page 18) C. Dunham J. Itrecka M.

With my fellow workers. John Morris. Margaret Pado. Elynor Schenck. Lillian Pisani. Leon Puscedu. and Pauline Farrell. I started out on the census. My notebook fell open at the C’s. There was Frances Carris—occupation, truck driver, and Mary Ann Coleman, history teacher. Huh? Jack Carman, manager of a super-market, and Tillie Fotorny running the Baby Mart. Dolores Cook, private secretary to Tony Iannone. She got her training in ’45 while writing to privates. Grant Courtright and Shir- ley Curry, quality furriers and dry cleaners. But time was passing and I had reached my first call. Madeline Zigar was prac- ticing an election speech as I knocked at her door. How’s the presidential cam- paign coming:’'’ I ventured. “Oh. hello. Helen Petrak. Pretty well, thanks. I guess I've covered every town in the U. S. A. and every where members of our class are rallying to my support. Last week I was in Tampa and I nearly died when I walked into the D'Aloisio girls’ funeral parlors. They told me that Fannie Dannibale was coaching college football when they had last heard from her. Then, when I was in Buffalo, I ran into Gerald Norton who has top billing as a trapeze star. Dolores Sweezy and Mary Ann Kremitske are doing a show in the big top with a number of wolves. Alma Neira was doing a magic act in which she made Marian Maxfield disappear. Last week the performance had to be cancelled as Marian had not reappeared. Dorlean Davis and Sophie Pado are running the Hoka Hola concession.’’ “On a flight to Washington the stew- Fourteen ardess who, by the way, was Mary Fed- orka. told me that Betty DeBarr and Jo Onzik had been grounded by the federal air commissioner. Don Edwards. The dizzy pilots had buzzed the Fabrizio- Gonzalez zoo and scared the elephants pink. Beverly Davies is defending them.” While Madeline paused for breath, I showed her a letter from Norma Ketchum. who handles fan mail for John Leney. Norma had jusr seen Marian Macdaid in Hollywood. Marian is arranging “Moan ing” Mohney’s musical numbers for his new show, “Don't Take It With You. She reports that Myrtle Folkerson is blow- ing bubbles for Corinne Eisenhuth. who is dancing with Loretta Ludington in the current “Swingsation of 1960.” Brother Harvey is trying to manage the girls with the aid of Kenneth Harris. Madeline excused herself to answer a long-distance call from Pat Zicari. her campaign manager. Pat reports trouble with Dave Haskins, who is also having trouble with the girls at Vassar where he is dean. I took time to look around Madeline’s interesting house. On a table lay a couple of new books with the pages still uncut. One was entitled “Don’t Try to Stop Me.” It turned out to be an autobigraphy of Ig Saraceno and was autographed by the au- thor. Another “Anything Did Happen” was a travel book by Eileen Todd and Beverly Tanner. A copy of Mary Ruth White’s new slick paper magazine “Snooze” was tossed on a chair. I opened it and started to read her winner in the year’s most nonsensical editorial contest. Tessie Carman’s cover showed a futuristic- chicken coop designed especially for Bob Balch by Ercell Davis. (Chickens fur- nished by Harold Wargo.) Jack Payne, who is now a dentist, also had an article The Union-Endicott Tiger on bridges he had crossed up. A feature by Charles Putrino was en- titled “T he Three Battaglinis at Bat” or “Who Got the Mitten?” The girls are touring the country with a nine made up of the Bakers, Jones, and Donahues. T he theatre section revealed that Ray Thomp- son is playing Macbeth. He gives credit for the inspiration to the records that he heard in high school. Madeline returned at last but I had to be on my way. I bade her goodbye and met my companions, who had been working on the other side of the street. Horrendous and stupendous were the items they had collected! They disclosed that Nelda Brounstein had returned to Endicott from Sampson where she had spent five years waiting for the sailors to return. She is now clerking in a drug store where Mike Pinkey is manager. Bill Blazey is soda jerk there and Nick Roma and Phil Cleary are jerks too. Eleanor Coccetti and Dar- lene Eldridge are drum majorettes in the cigarette line while Eleanor Baly and Irma Betikofer hand out the beauty advice. Claude Deats is second assistant errand boy. Jane Groover is modeling bobby pins in the front window. We completed our day’s work and on the way back to report we met Joe Cerny and Bob Shae who had just been to the open house of Nick Pack’s new one hun- dred and eight story school building pat- terned after the Leaning Tower. James Stefano is principal. He reported that Jim had hired Arietta McCarthy and Doris Mead to teach there and Fenton McVan- non to be truant officer. Joe Mirra is planning to take a P. G. there. Frances Halchenko is to have complete charge of the cafeteria to succeed Betty Budd. Carl Gydik will do the cooking.

Ethel Galgocy is to receive the athletic abilities of Beverly Johnson, and Josephine Vivona wills her quietness to Beverly Kenefick. Dick Brown's abilities to choke the girls with ammonia fumes in chemistry class fall to Gale Tymeson, but Charity Dunham hopes that Rodney Patterson won’t fall to (or for) any of the junior girls.

Reporter Interviews Old Resident In an exclusive interview with a Tiger reporter an old resident of Union revealed that he had cut his teeth in infancy on a pork chop bone. The relic, now preserved under glass, confirmed his statement. Fur- ther inquiry failed to locate other oldsters with this unique experience. One oldtimer disclosed that he recalls his mother mentioning steaks but he was not sure of the exact spelling of the word. A well-known club woman who was in- terviewed while she was putting two dozen egg shells in her garbage can. praised the hens for the magnificent job that they have done in the war effort She also asserted that she is furthering a pro- ject to have the statue of Prometheus in Radio City re-christened Protein Bound ;r. commemoration of the achievement of American fowls.

Eighteen CLASS HISTORY - - - (Continued from Page 6) Before we realized it, we were seniors lacing graduation. All rhe little things, once despised, became increasingly dear. We tried to make the most of the time left. In so doing, we looked around at our classmates who had distinguished them- selves during their high school careers. There is Vincent Vetrano, football player par excellence, president of the Stu- dent Council, our own selection as U.-E. representative on Mr. Brees’ trip to the state capitol. honor student, and able presi- dent of our class. Mary Bortnick. president of the Commercial Club, representative at Girls’ State last year, was our choice as vice-president. Mary Ruth White has been the recipi- ent of numerous awards in the prize es- say field and also editor of our school magazine. Robert Austin won national honors in a science talent search and lacked but one point of a perfect score in the army tests in the spring. Only thir- teen students from three states made this high score. As graduation approaches more and more of our boys are leaving for the armed services. At the time of writing. William Blazey, Joseph Purcell, Angelo Grassi. Myron Brazilla. and John Logan have donned uniforms. Many others are taking special examinations so that they may answer the call and any list must necessarily be incomplete. The football team smashed through an undefeated season to the championship of this section and the basketball team did likewise. Many seniors received music awards for two years in the football band and drum corps. The sectional music contest held here in May gave first ratings to thirteen T he Union-Endicott Tiger From the Radio Department Hi. ho. there, merry gentlemen! Let nothing you dismay!

In the traditional candle light service twenty-one seniors inscribed their names in the register of honor students. Leading them was Alida Tait. with Pauline Jones only six one-thousandths of a point behind her. Robert Austin and John Dapolito followed them closely. It is fitting and proper that these deeds be recorded in the history of U.-E. as the school will be dear to the hearts of the graduates. But more important still will be the record of the years to come. A post- war world has never offered a more tre- mendous challenge to graduates than that facing us. With this in mind we have chosen our motto “Let us light candles in a shadowed world. Betty Beaman '45 The Union-Endicott Tiger Nineteen At the end of a long, hard winter, the staff finds the produce of its victory garden reaching an end. fully as hard to bear. But with the coming of a new planting season, the Tiger sows its crop and the fall will bring a new harvest. Corn, it's true, but home grown. Needless to say. at this time of year, most of this is canned. As Don Pedro said after his ninth pro- posal had been refused by a young senor- ita “Long time no si!’' As the magician sawed the woman in half, he said casually. “Now. ladies and gentlemen, after the young lady has been severed, her brains will be given to a med- ical school and the rest will be thrown to the dogs.” Just then a deep voice from the balcony interrupted: “Woof, woof!” And then the little boy yelled at the umpire. “Your head can have that ivory look in just twelve days!” Mr. Gillespie (to the basses) : “Come, now.

MEMORIALS - - - (Continued from Page 4) it cannot be just an American peace, or a British peace, or a Russian, or a French, or a Chinese peace. It cannot be a peace of large nations—or of small nations. It must be a peace which rests on the coopera- tive effort of the whole world. “It cannot be what some people think— a structure of complete perfection at first. But it can be a peace and it will be a peace, based on the sound and just principles of the Atlantic Charter—on the concept of the dignity of the human being—and on the guarantee of tolerance and freedom of religious worship.” People of the World! If you can build such a monument of peace, its greatness will lift it above mere human effort and make it a memorial touched and sanctified by Divine Wisdom.

Already a large number of former U.-E. students have signified that they expect to return to school to complete their interrupted education. Plans have been made for an addition to the present building so that greate facilities may be made available to them. Opportunity lies in education. Make the most of it!
