The FAA didn't consider student solo time as PIC until August of 1997. Prior to this time the pre solo training and aircraft specific endorsements would have been all that was required for a student to fly solo in a tailwheel airplane.
That's also when the "High performance", "complex", and some glider related endorsements were born, too.
