Houston. The class of “ 05 ” will never be mouldy. With a gold coin in his pocket a Carl Sm ith might easily turn a goldsmith. Robbins are good to trim hats, but that is all. The class of “ 04 ” is not very temperate with a Rum(sey) in it. The class will always be rich if the old maid follows her inclination and marries an Earl but not an Earl of cloudy color. There is one young lady in the class that might easily be charged with (man) Slaughter. FROM THE CLASS OF 1905 TO THE. WELL BELOVED CLASS OF 1904. Revered and beloved seniors as we see you daily leaving the door of our dear old seat of learning, we humble, but aspiring juniors, cannot but realize that the high standard of conduct and intellectuality you have set us, and left for us to live up to. Although there may, by some freak of that fickle jade, Dame Fortune, be some among your beloved number, who have sometimes imitated, during school hours too, the conduct of grammar school students to an admirable degree, yet as a class you leave a record that many classes will try to equal, but few if any, will succeed. And, as you start out from this dear old school, as from a crossroad, each one to follow his own path, perhaps never to all meet again in the same happy frame of mind with which you say goodbye, it were well to bear in mind a few things by which your own and others’ paths may be made easier. Remember that though 1904 has left a record that may dazzle the eye, yet when you get out on the firing line of the battle ground of life, you will be as lambs led to the slaughter, unless you heed the humble advice of those below you. Remember also, that, though we of “ 05 ” may be but despised juniors now, in years to come we will all be of one great class, Goshen High School graduates. We would offer a few things as a charge: First and foremost, always be loyal and true alumnae and alumni; always cherish the thought of the old Goshen High School as the dear spot connected with so many of your joyous hours. Second, always treat those below you as you have treated “05,” kindly and with consideration, and you will succeed, for all will love you. Third, always live up to the standard of honor set by the classes of '04 and '05. for what two classes have been so closely knit by bonds of love and good-fellowship as we ? Fourth and lastly, try to make some one’s burden lighter as you’re passing along life’s way. So may we always, all of us, remember with thoughts of love, the dear old Goshen High School. Yours in love and fellowship The Class of '05. J. W. GOTT, Jr, President. Bluff—To fool a teacher into thinking that you know a lot. Cram—An active verb. Applies to night work before exams. Absence makes the marks fall lower ; That is why the 75° ensue. Looking o'er my report I ponder. Wondering if my eyes read true.

THE PIONEER. 17 CHARGE TO THE JUNIORS. From the time immemorial it has been the custom for the young to receive sage and helpful advice from old and wise heads. So in accordance with this old custom the class of 1904, from their long experience in the ways of school and the world, now as the time for parting approaches, takes the liberty of giving a few suggestions to you for the coming year. Then it shall be you who will be upholding the dignity and honor of this seat of learning. We hope that you will in some ways direct your steps in accordance with the paths we have trodden. Although perhaps we have sometimes in our heedless moments forgotten that, “Knowledge was Power’’ and neglected precious opportunities, yet one of our members should be to you a shining pattern of industry and patience. But be observant and from our short-comings take heed and make of yourselves a model class, which ought to be in every respect second to none but the class preceding yours. “Do your best.” Perhaps this has been repeated too often, you will say. But nevertheless its truth is not injured by repetition. Whether in the school or on the athletic field, “ Do your best.” In your school life remember that the teachers are but human, and that there is a limit to human endurance. Or in whatever manner of athletic sports in which you engage, let it not savor of any dishonest work but be clean and fair, so that outsiders cannot point the finger of scorn at this school, at least. In regard to numbers, you are large and in intellect, well—that remains to be seen; but at all events edit a class paper. Cultivate the feeble flower of our planting so that from year to year its growth may be looked upon with pride by the following classes and honored by the patrons of the school. Your senior year, in all probability, will be your hardest, but your success will be assured if you keep in mind our honored motto or the words of Benjamin Franklin: He that by the plow would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive. C. I. SMITH, President. THE CLASS WILL. We, the class of 1904 of Goshen High School, although being of sound mind and memory, do declare this to be our last will and testament to the class of ’05. To Mr. J. W. Gott, 3rd, the most worthy president of the class, we bequeath a melodious whistle—and also the advice not to use his Foot(e) too much. To Miss Jennie Bassett, the secretary, a half dozen rulers, a Ivory (pen) holder, box of stub pens, a dozen packages of confetti to use to cover the desk instead of torn notes. To Miss Florence Houston, the treasurer, we give great Merit (t) for her good behavior and hard study. To Miss Charlotte Glover we give the advice that she had better look well after her best Penny. To Mr. Percy Ivory, a bottle of machine oil and also the coveted privilege of becoming insured with the De Yoe Insurance Company. To Miss Hazel Van Buren, two hints: The first, that those “four swell fellows ” must have been only fooling. The second, that Gibson has advertised for a model. To Sadie Sharts, the “ maid ” of the class, we give the privilege of tying all the knots she wishes to, if she will let the Emble(m) alone. To Mr. Frank Penny we bequeath a Glove(r) to be worn on the right hand only. To Miss Laura De Groot, we give the opinion that, “Virgil” and “Physics,” are not such bad subjects after all. To Miss Katherine Hayes, the advice that it is better not to fall too deeply in love with Caesar nor any friend of his. To Mr. John Landy, the last but by no means least, we bequeath the hope that he will have a chance to sleep after ’05. M. E. BASSETT, ’04. The Senior Class is sincerely thankful for the generous support given to “ The Pioneer” by the advertisers and all others who have given aid. Charlotte Glover—What is your favorite knight ? Jennie Bassett—Sunday night—when I can rest.

THE PIONEER. 19 ATHLETICS. The students of the High School support a basketball team, a track team and baseball team. The girls have a basketball team and ended the season of 1904 with a good percentage of games. J Although the games at New Paltz Normal and | Poughkeepsie High School were lost; the game with Poughkeepsie at Goshen was won by a high score, and the game with New Paltz at Goshen, the score was a tie. The track team has never been quite strong enough to win the Interscholastic Meeting held on the thirtieth of May. Yet the executive ability is so widely known, that each year, for five consecutive years, the delegates from the other schools have been unanimous in their wish for the members of Goshen High School to have the full management of the meeting. Through the courtesy of Mr. Robbins, the manager of the track, we have been allowed the privilege of using the finest track in the county for the games. Girls’ Basketball Team :—Belle Lyon, Capt., rf ; Katherine Hayne, c; Francis Strack, lg; Sadie Sharts, rg; Florence Robbins, If; N. Elizabeth Mould, sub. Boys’ Basketball Team:—Tom Tuthill, Capt., rf; Raymond Bemrose, c ; Harry Morgan, rg; Percy Ivory, If; John Landy, lg; Fred Terwilliger, sub. Baseball Team:—John Landy, Capt., p; Fred Terwilliger, c ; Tom Tuthill, 1st b ; Harry Morgan, 2nd b ; Percy De Kay, 3rd b ; Carlton Smith, ss ; George Sharts, If; Percy Ivory, cf; Covert Phyfe, rf ; J. W. Gott and A. Duryea, subs. Track Team :—Carlton Smith, Capt.; Tom Tuthill, Percy Ivory, Percy DeKay, William Mc-Neice, Fred Terwilliger, Jay Terwilliger. The baseball team representing the school is made up exclusively from members of the school, which is more than many other neighboring high schools can vouch for. This putting in of the so called ringers has in no small degree contributed to the defeats of the team this year. The tennis club, last year sent two contestants to compete in the tournament held at Middletown, but so keen was the competition that they were defeated, although they defeated a number of the teams. Though 1904 has not been a successful year in athletics, directly, yet it has contributed in no small degree to our success in our studies and other accomplishments. C. I. SMITH, '04.
