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.

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.

20 THE PIONEER. PERSONALS. Percy Ivory, ’05, has taken the contract for keeping the floor of the High School well oiled. Joe Gott, ’05, will be able to study more next year. Sadie Sharts, ’05, does not realize that the Erie will not wait for even her and— Why does Margaret Cox, ’06, like Covert cloth to keep her warm ? (Florence Robbins, ’04, has been under a Lyon’s jaw ever since the last basketball game.) Perhaps it would be of interest to the Juniors to know that one of the class of '03 has taken to landscape gardening, especially to the cultivation of Hedges. The president of the alumni has set a good example to the other members. The author of “The Court of Boyville,’’ must have had our Miss Morgan in mind when he de-cribed so accurately, Little Miss Morgan,” the fostermother of Budd Perkins. Tom Tuthill is developing his skill in painting by using iodine. Time will tell that Katherine Hayne will be (W)right. Fred Terwilliger is very fond of children, especially Fairchild (ren). Think—An inactive verb used to denote that which a student does not. Grind—(verb). Process of preparing one’s self for slow death. (Noun). A person seen only in school, being usually too feeble to endure further exercise. Such cases are too few at Goshen High School to give a further definition. Automobiles now are getting in style. For horses have had their day ; But autos to ponies and trots, I ween, In class will have to give way. Louis Meritt—Are those patent leather shoes ? John Landy—Well, they were at one time, but now the patent has run out. Athlete—We don’t know for sure, but think at G. H. S. it means one who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. Trot—Synonymous with pony—that which makes life easy. Some yank by talk affecting. Some stuff with nonsense full. But the fellow who rang the fire-bell. Has got the biggest pull. The pen and ink sketches illustrating “The Pioneer ’ ’ were drawn by Miss Florence S. Robbins, '04. fiA l S
