O. Box 9625 ------------_________________~~!~1t~~t~tj~~~_!~_~~~J_~~~~:2~_~~_____________________________ SYNOPSIS The A&M Consolidated Negro High School had its beginning in 1941, as a result of the consolidation of several one and two teacher schools at convenient locations for elementary grades while high school students were transferred to Bryan. Teachers are Mrs. Thay M. Adams Owens and Mrs. Edna R Harris Tarrow in the Washington Chapel Church, Mrs. Ruth Cunningham in the St. Matthews Church and Mrs. Katie Tolden and Mrs. Julia Muckleroy Campbell in the Wellborn Community. For seven years, grades one through twelve were housed in a seven-room frame building constructed on Eleanor Street, with no library nor library facilities. A shop was 'added by woodwork classes. Six teachers constituted the first faculty namely: Mr. Elbert Cunningham as principal, Mrs. Thay M. Owens, Mrs. Edna Harris Tarrow, Mr. W. A. Tarrow, Mr. A. J. Thompson and Mrs. Ruth Cunningham, with an enrollment of242 in 1942. The first class graduated in 1942 consisting of six students: Lola V. Robison, o. B. Townsend, Ethel Mae Eaton, Clarence Burrell, Dan McGill and Dora Jewel Townsend. In 1943, Mr. W. A. Tarrow became principal. The name ofthe school was changed to Lincoln High School in 1946. By 1954, a four-room high school building, H. E. Cottage, Science building, Gymnasium, Al1- Purpose room and additional classrooms had been added to the existing site. The faculty had increased to ten classroom teachers and one Home Economics teacher and Shop teacher and had received High School Accreditation from the State Department of Education. For approximately twenty-four years, the Lincoln High School served the educational needs of the black children in College Station. The buildings were destroyed in 1965. PRODUCTS OF THE COLLEGE STATION SCHOOL ARE FOUND THROUGHOUT THE U. S. EMPLOYED AS ENGINEERS, LAB TECHNICIANS, TEACHERS, DOCTORS, LAWYERS, TAILORS, MUSICIANS, COSMETOLOGISTS, AND MANY MANAGERIAL POSITIONS IN MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND CITY, STATE, AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------________J lincoln School Black Education in College Station Many black citizens settled in Brazos county as a result of slavery. In 1864 there were 2,013 slaves in Brazos County, during this time period formal education did not exist. Formal education for blacks began in Brazos county in 1871, as a result of the passage of the Public School Act of 1871. Education for black citizens, who resided in the 55 square mile area which now constitutes the A&M Con sol idated School District of College, in the late 1800's and at the beginning of the 1900's was provided by a network of small area schools. In 1910 there were 39 buildings in which black schools were located throughout Brazos County. Twenty-two of the buildings were rented, and seventeen were owned by the public. Many were small, 1-4 room buildings and were often located in or near black churches. The scholastic enumeration papers submitted to the State Education Agency by the A&M Consolidated School District noted that black students were attending schools at Shirock, Union Hill, Wellborn, College Independent, and Dowling and Providence 2 One hundred twenty seven students attended classes at the various black schools in the A&M Consolidated School District in 1923. In 1928 black schools located in the A&M Consolidated School District included Peach Creek, Sulphur Springs, Wellborn, Shirock, Dowling and Providence, Union Hill, Washington Chapel, and College Hills. 4 For the next 15 years the number of students attending classes grew steadily and by 1938, 246 students were attending classes. All of these schools were elementary schools. The A&M Consolidated School District, which did not have a black high school, had an agreement with the Bryan Independent School District to allow students to attend Kemp High School in Bryan. The tuition fees for students who attended Kemp High School were paid for by the A&M Consolidated School District. The district also provided a bus for transportation to Bryan for the students.5 In the 1930's the number of black students that attended high school in the district steadily increased, and as well as the cost of tuition and transportation for the students to Kemp High School. p.,s a result of these continuing rising costs and in an effort to provide a more comprehensive education to the black scholastic population of the district, discussions pertaining to constructing a black high school for the school district began. On January 8, 1941, the A&M Consolidated Board of Trustees initiated discussions about the need for a black high school in the District. Arguments for the construction of a high school included: the significant savings over time in tuition and transportation costs, and encouraging more area students to attend high school. 6 The board decided to build facilities for a black high school in College Station. A bond election was held on March 29,1941, to acquire capital for building this school among other projects.7 The site was selected for the school, and five acres were purchased from the Matthew and Fanny R. Davis estate for the sum of $ 100 per acre. 8 The site which was located at the southwestern city limits of College Station, is now bordered by Eleanor and Holleman streets. Plans for the school progressed rapidly and the school opened its doors for the 1941-42 academic year. Initially, the school consisted of a building containing six classrooms, a principal's office, and a home economics cottage. A curriculum for the black high school, which was initially known as A&M Consolidated Negro School, was adopted. Courses approved by the school board included: English, History, Negro History, Practical Arithmetic, Elementary Science, Vocational Agriculture, Industrial Shop, Home Economics, Defense Training Work, and Training for adult maids.lO E. M. Cunningham was selected as the principal for the school. Mr. Cunningham also served as the Vocational Agriculture teacher; other faculty members were Thay Myrtle Owens, Edna Harris Tarrow, William A. Tarrow, A. J. Thompson, and Ruth Cunningham. Elementary schools located within College Station, as well as those from outlying areas were moved to the new school. Grades 1-11 were established in 1941, and grade 12 was added the next year. The first graduates for the new school received their diplomas in 1942. They were: Lola V. Robison, O. B. Townsend, Ethel Mae Eaton, Clarence Burrell, Dan McGill, and Dora Jewel Townsend. The school continued to flourish and expand. In 1945 it was noted in a serial published in The Battalion, that the black school for College Station had a budget of $ 15,000 annually. It employed 10 teachers and 296 . children attended school that year." A small plot of additional land located one block from the original school site was purchased from Edward V. and Birdie Beatrice Hrdlicka on October 13, 1945, for $600.'2 This land was designated to be used as a football and athletic field for A&M Consolidated Negro School. On June 13,1946 the name of the school was changed from A&M Consolidated Negro School to Lincoln High'School William A. Tarrow was named as the school's new principal. In 1947 the Vocational Agriculture and Industrial Shop class under the guidance of the Vocational Agriculture teacher expanded the shop building by building an additional room 14 The material for this project was acquired by dismantling buildings at the old Minter Springs school site. . Attendance at the school grew rapidly, and citizens of the city were concerned about the school's cramped facilities. Specifications for a new High School Building on the Lincoln campus were drawn and submitted by R. G. Schneider, Architect and Engineer, on December 1, 1948 '5 This building endeavor was a portion of an overall expansion of A&M Consolidated facilities in 1948. In February 1949, C. L. Andrews was awarded the building contract for the four classroom building, which was to be located west of the elementary school building. 16 Lincoln School served as the social hub of College Station's black community, and at least for a short period of time as a spiritual meeting place. The College Station Church of Christ requested and received permission from the school board to use rooms on the campus as a meeting place on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings, and Wednesday or Thursday nights. In return the congregation agreed to reimburse the school district for the utilities costs and any additional janitorial services required. The Lincoln campus growth continued in an effort to better serve the community. The construction of tennis courts for the Lincoln campus were a topic of discussion by school board members during the spring of 1950. This proposal was approved by the A&M Consolidated School Board in May 1950. 18 Expansion of the school continued throughout the 1950's. The A&M school board discussed future construction for Lincoln campus throughout the fall of 1950. On June 14, 1951, bids for an industrial arts shop and science building were taken and the building was completed in April 1952. ,g A number of milestones and events occurred involving Lincoln School in 1953. In January bids for the construction of a Gymnasium were opened. The specifications for the gymnasium included the requirement of piers for future expansion of the building and room for construction of a stage and dressing rooms 20 Public School Week in 1953 was observed at the school with festivities that included a radio program and an open house. Progress on the establishment of a library for the school continued throughout 1952 and 1953. On September 4, 1953, Lincoln School was accredited by the State Department of Education 2, As the focal point of the community grew the personality of the school developed. The school colors were purple and gold and the mascot chosen for the school was the panther. The school mottos was, "Forward forever, bac~rd never," and their school song was "0' Lincoln High." 0' Lincoln High 0' Lincoln High we love you true. We love the purple and gold too. To you we will always be true. 0' Lincoln High how we love you. The purple and gold means much to me. Let's try to keep our colors true, We pledge a better school to be, 0' Lincoln High how we love you. As the school grew the area that could be used as an athletic field was found to be inadequate. In 1956 . discussions concerning a possible trade of 80,000 square feet of property owned by the school district with a 120,000 square feet parcel owned by the Hrdlicka heirs. 22 The land trade was completed on February 11, 1957. A&M Consolidated paid the Hrdlicka estate $10.00 for the additional square footage. 23 This trade allowed the athletic fields to be located adjacent to the school and to be more readily accessible to students. Expansion of the school continued with the addition of a homemaking cottage. Bids for the construction of the homemaking cottage were announced on July 17, 1956.24 Discussions on plans for integration of the A&M Consolidated School District began on June 15, 1956. This was the first of a series on ongoing meetings and seminars on the subject. It was decided to adopt a "wait and see attitude. "25 In the early 1960's the A&M Consolidated Independent School District received notice that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was requesting immediate integration of College Station schools. The plan for integration adopted by the school district was a stair step method. Under this plan, the black elementary grades would be fused with white elementary grades one grade at a time. Every year a new grade would leave Lincoln and become integrated. Attendance at Lincoln became voluntary. Two of Lincoln's teachers were reassigned to A&M Consolidated High School and several white teachers were relocated to Lincoln. Teachers for special education and speech taught at both schools. By 1965, grades one and two had been phased into the A&M Consolidated school system. On January 20, 1966, a fire at Lincoln School was reported to the Texas A&M University Fire Department. At the time the fire started, an adult education class was being held in one of the buildings. The fire department was notified at 7:45 p.m., however the first truck did not leave the fire station for 15 minutes. A second and third truck was dispatChed 10 minutes later.27 These delays were unexplained in all existing documents. The trucks were also hampered in reaching the fire by large crowds that gathered to watch the fire. The fire, whipped by high winds was well established by the time the firefighters reached the scene. Once the firefighters arrived the blaze was contained in about an hour and no deaths were reported. The ten classroom high school building, principal's office, teachers' lounge, and library were destroyed. Buildings that were not damaged included the gym, two classrooms, auditorium/assembly hall, homemaking cottage, cafeteria building, science laboratory, and industrial arts shop. The damage to the Lincoln School complex was estimated at $65,000 and displaced 100 students 28 The majority of records and documents pertaining to the school were destroyed in the fire. The cause of the fire was never determined. Although it was speculated that the fire may have been set to force integration to occur more quickly, a search of the local newspaper revealed a number of mysterious fires were set by an unknown arsonist during that time period. ' High school students were transferred. to A&M Consolidated High School. The 38 students in grades three, four, and five returned to class at Lincoln the Monday following the fire. Grades six, seven and eight also attended Lincoln School, but reverted to a departmentalized program with a seven period day. These lower grades remained at Lincoln due to space limitations at the other schools in the Consolidated system. Teachers from the school were reassigned. At the end of the 1965-66 school year, Lincoln's doors were shut, and the remaining students: were integrated into the other A&M Consolidated schools. The school Board decided that it was not G: feasible to rebuild the burned facilities. In 1967, the City of College Station discussed what could be done with city property that was adjacent to Lincoln. An informal agreement was made by the city and school district to temporarily use the school property as a city park32 The buildings remained unused, except for the occasional gatherings of small church groups. In 1968, the school board agreed to lease the land and facilities at Lincoln to the city for a period of 10 years. The City Council directed the Parks and Recreation Committee develop detailed plans for the property and buildings 33 \ In 1969 the College Station Parks and Recreation offices were located at Lincoln. The facilities were used for continuing education classes and served as a neighborhood recreation center. City property adjacent to the school was used for an all purpose sports field. The homemaking cottage served as the Parks and Recreation Department Office, and the industrial arts shop was converted into a shop for the department.34 The property was renovated and restored in 1972. In 1978, the city bought the land from the school district and the facilities were entirely refurbished. On June 6, 1980, the Lincoln Center was officially dedicated and began to serve as a tribute to the school that once stood on the site. Lincoln Center serves as a home for many community activities, the local Boys and Girls Club, a senior outreach program, immunization program and an emergency management site. The memories and influence of Lincoln School remain. The Lincoln school trophies are displayed at the Center. The Lincoln Former Students Association was formed in 1982. The association, which is comprised of students who attended Lincoln School, holds biennial reunions. The association activities includes providing scholarships for black students and preservation of the history, heritage, and memories of Lincoln School. References 1.

Sing a song full of the faith that the Dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the Present has brought us, Facing the rising sun of our new day begun Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn has died. Yet with the steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed. We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee. I Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand True to our God True to our native land. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.
