) DEDICATION Miss Margaret McDougall retires from active service this June after a teaching career of forty-six years, twenty-seven of them spent teaching mathematics at Union Endicott High School. None of us con imagine U-E without her; she is o port of our U-E heritage. To her thousands of students through the years she has symbolized the best of the Scottish characteristics. Anyone who has known her has hod his knowledge increased, his ideals lifted. She has effectively taught habits of industry, cooperation, and courtesy by her own example. It is particularly fitting that we dedicate the '56 Thesaurus to a great teacher- Margaret McDougall. May she enjoy many years of happiness in her retirement. Behind her she leaves a void in our school life that will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to fill.

AMERICANS All As citizens of Endicott we represent sixty-seven nationalities; our heritage is of the world. Our American creed was born by blending the creeds of our forefathers from the lands across the seas. When they came to America, they brought with them those things which hod made them happiest in their lands. These built our nation: the love of freedom of the Scandinavian countries, the standards of government of England, the wisdom of the Far East, the love of music of Italy, the scientific knowledge of Germany, the courage and stamina of the Slavic races, and myriad other traits from many lands. In every home, in every school throughout Endicott, the arts and customs of the world ore gathered and cherished by her citizens-Americans a ll. Page Three
Dr. William J. Krum, Jr. Superintendent of the Endicott School System Ever since this notion was born in 1776, each generation has mode new efforts to live up to the ideal which holds that people ore important because of what they ore rather. than because of their race, creed, color, or notional origin. Because of these efforts, the people of Endicott, and of many other communities, now live and work together as neighbors and friends even though they represent many different backgrounds. It is easy to rejoice in this and other ports of our American heritage and also easy to toke it all for granted. If only all of us could review more frequently some of our own history: the tenacity of Washington and his men at Volley Forge; the courage of Abraham Lincoln who did a noble but unpopular thing; the suffering and sacrifice of the pioneers who settled this great country; the sacrifice of those who fought in World War I and 1·1, and in the recent Korean War. These people were not thinking of us as individuals but they were doing their duty to their America in their time. If you and I do our duty to our America in our time we ore not likely to lose the heritage which others hove left in our core. Pogc Four

Miss Mary L. Pitkin Principal, Union-Endicott High School What is America? The love of country and a knowledge of its history and traditions ore a most important port of education. Our country has been richly blessed with men and women of high ideals ever since the days of the pioneers. They hove come from all walks of life and from oil notional backgrounds. Through their faith, America has become a great notion. To keep America great, we, who ore in school, must also dedicate ourselves to the general good of our Country. To do so, we must learn to cooperate with each other and to become "Americans All!" DeWitt S. Woodard {±: 1J.d£ __J ?/-~) Poge Six AMERICANS ALL, 1956 SENIORS OF U. E.
