Union Endicott High School - Thesaurus Yearbook (Endicott, NY)

Q The Gibson Girl, the sweetheart of the Gay Nineties, now becomes The- saurus l948. As the old look be- comes the new look, we go forth from U-E High with our never-to-be- forgotten memories -of teachers, friends, proms, basketball and football games, concerts and plays. With the Gibson Girl and Gay Nine- ties theme, we shall try to connect the past with the present where this linking of the two might be of especial inter- est. We have harked back to some early beginnings in our town and school life in this year's Thesaurus. All dates do not go back to a fifty-year period, for, for Endicott, that would be im- possible. 1 948 TH ESAU RUS lip Mg M Allin- : ' ,, fl! . 1 fi PJ' P C 'if X f if twink il 6? xe ff,-l H , fly!

So many changes can take place, so many opportunities for growth can be utilized or lost. Only so many achievements can be recorded. We believe that our theme will fit in with modern trends and will record not only our three or four years of high school but will record also the era of the old look, to be remembered by us, as styles and music fashion the old look to become the new. As the lady in the moon lalways recognized as a Gibson Girll looks down on her modern counterpart, we, the Thesaurus Staff, proudly present the I9-48 yearbook.

IN THE GIBSON DAYS In i898 there were l,OOO inhabitants in the village of Union. Endicott was named and incorporated in l906. Washington Avenue was plowed and graded in l9Ol. The school in Union in the 90's was The Union Graded School with Aca- demic Department, the Academic Department of which was organized in l89l. The first school building is now an apartment house across from the George Washington School on Loder Avenue. ln l897-l898 there were l89 pupils in the school, 38 of which were above eighth grade. An exceptionally well-built farmhouse with fireplaces in practically all the rooms stood at the turn of the century where the Union-Endicott High School now stands. Mrs. Earl L. Barnes and Mrs. Franklin Hunt lived in the farmhouse when their father, James Armstrong, farmed the land for the Endicott Land Com- pany. Mrs. Raymond Conrad lived there later when her father, Jonas Gates, took over the farm work. A photograph of part of a herd of cows oh the farm. They were pastured from the farm buildings to beyond what is now Jackson Avenue. 6
