THE PIONEER 15 VII. A member very modest, one day her 44 Virgil ” took, Which she had writ for “Basker,” and hid it in her books. She then rushed to the ’scmbly room, 44 Basker” followed after, Where she explained the situation amid spasmodic laughter. VIII. JUNIOR CLASS. 05. Colors Maroon and White. CLASS Bertha M. Borland, Theresa Byrnes, Margaret Cox, Edith Harrington, Percy M. Ivory, ROLL. Mabel Knapp, Lewis C. Merritt, Bertha Mills, Thomas T. Tuthill, Helen Trott. Some people call him sleepy, but it’s very hard to find A better baseball captain, who is very apt to 44 grind ; ” He’s first-rate in mathemetics, and very fond of punning, But never was so hurried as to cause him any running. IX. One 44 Miss” is very strenuous, and athletics are her forte. She often spends a week or two in New-------- (but not Newport!), She’s always in the middle of a large group of old maids, Recounting some adventure of her numerous escapades. X. The next thing I will speak of has the gift of conversation, Which she uses to advantage whene’er she has occasion. She’8 stars in mathematics and certainly delights In out-door sj ort8 as tennis, bicycling and flying “Kytes.” XI. Officers Thomas T. Tuthill, President; Edith A. Harrington, Treasurer; Percy M. Ivory, Secretary ; Lewis C. Merritt, Editor. The worthy President of the class will find that a knowledge of jiu jitsu does much toward preserving the normal color of the eyes and etc. A tape worm is about as much use as a snake. The class of ’05 will always be hazy. Unless one member of the class takes lessons in walking the Seniors may have to spend their last Penney and to pay for broken chairs, etc. Teacher. Now can you tell me why the Puritans came to this country ? J. L. They came to purify their blood. A Wandering Minstrel. 44A musician out of work, are you?” said the housekeeper. 44Well, you’ll find a few cords in the wood shed. Suppose you favor me with an obligato.” ‘‘Pardon the pronunciation, madam,” replied the bright tramp, 44 but Chopin is not popular with me.” Penney—What is electrical fruit? Gott—Currents. FROM THE CLASS OF 1906 TO THE WELL BELOVED CLASS OF 1905. Of myself the least said’s best. You may form your own opinion, You probably have by this time and like’s not it’s not a good one. My intentions, I beg to tell you, are really all right, •But perhaps we view affairs in a very different light. V., ’05. We, the Junior class of Goshen High School, who are about to become dignified Seniors, have watched the class of “’05,” and will try to excel even their good record. While it will be hard for us, or any class to excel the class of 44 ’05 ” in their high standard of recitations; still we think we might improve on the school spirit which they (as a class) have shown for the athletic sports connected with the school.

u THE PIONEER these there is a second landing and another flight of stairs which leads to the third floor. Tiie rooms located at each side of the upper hall are used for the prepartory department, which is taught by Miss Kaiser, and the High School II, taught by Miss Baker. In these two rooms scholars receive their preliminary certificates. On the second floor, under the preparatory department, is the room used by High School I, in which the third year students, juniors and seniors, are seated. Miss Farrand has charge of this room. Across the half is a recitation room, which is under the supervision of Miss Bucklyn. The physics laboratory is entered through Miss Bucklyn's room. This is under the charge of Miss Cooley, who is also the music teacher and librarian. She has a desk in the office. This room is situated between the physics laboratory and High School I, and opens into both. The principal, Mr. Smith, has his desk there also. The library is kept in the office. It consists of books of Action, classical books and reference books. In the basement a small room has been prepared as a chemical laboratory. It opens into the furnace room. By the co-operation of teachers, scholars and principal, a series of entertainments has been given in the school, and with the money raised a few pictures and statues have been added to the decorations of the school. By the kindness of Mr. Joseph W. Gott a case containing a large number of mineral specimens has been added to the school possessions. For a few years the school has formed a Shakespere Club, which meets during the winter. Two basket ball teams have been organized and have each won many honors for the school. For three or more years the Interscholastic Athletic Meet has been held in Goshen under the management of Goshen High School. In these meets Goshen has won a few of the honors. CHARLOTTE C. GLOVER, 05. THE CLASS or 1905. I. In the annals of school history of good old G. H. S., The class of “ nineteen hundred five ” is thought the very best, The members of this famous class are good hard workers all. Some at lessons, some at mischief, some at basket ball. II. The first that I will speak of (perhaps you'll guess his name), Awoke one bright May morning to find that he had fame For his numerous flirtations, which he carries on with zeal, Succeeding in convincing every girl his love is real. III. A maiden fair came gaily up the hill that leads to school. Across the path a serpent lay, opposed to usual rule. “Gracious sakes !’’ exclaimed the maiden and her face grew very red, When she finally perceived that the frightful thing was dead. IV. Hurrying, hurrying, hurrying, some one comes up the hill, The member of our famous class who never can be still. She keeps the “Deacon hustling to keep up to her pace, For never for a minute is she in the selfsame place. V. One member of the class has a very serious manner, Excels in books and basket ball and throwing of the hammer. His business often calls him to the office thro' the day. And when he thence emerges, lias a care-free smile and gay. VI. A girl so very mischievous and sometimes very dense, Bribed a boy to visit “ Basker for a reward of five cents. And one day kept her spelling book to see what teacher'd do, And the “ lecture she received made her feelings very blue.

16 THE PIONEER acknowledge that the girls of the class of 44 '05 have set a good example in the recitation rooms ; still we think it would have been proper for them to have set an example of school spirit to the younger girls, by turning out to the school's baseball games. Not a girl of the senior class (or any other class) came to the baseball game played at the Driving Park, Saturday, June 10. Wishing the class of 44 '05 great success, we remain, The Class of 44 '06. THOMAS T. TUTHILL, President. A GOOD DEFINITION OF A GENTLEMAN. A man that is clean, inside and out, who neither looks up to the rich nor down on the poor, who can lose without squealing, and who can win without bragging, who is considerate of women, children and old people, who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat, and who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs. SYNOPSIS OF SERMON. The following is a synopsis of the sermon to graduates by the Rev. Francis Stoddard Haines. Subject—44No Compromise:” It is impossible 44 to hold the scales even in a moral issue.” It must be either Yea or Nay; never Yea and Nay. There must be no compromise with conscience. The high ideals of life, that we have formed, must not be shattered by the hand of Compromise. In all our business relations there must be no room given to even a finger of this hand. Morality in the business world demands the exclusion of all compromise between right dealing and wrong dealing. So also in political life—in all public relations that affect the well being of the nation. Such men as Lincoln and McKinley and Roosevelt have been the champions of noblest devotion to right and to country; all three spurned compromises. Ex-President Andrew D. White of Cornell University is a man of the same stamp of character. Even in college days, at Yale, he decided that he would take his stand for right on the great political question of the day ; the introduction of slavery into the territories of the United States. Men not only but women have shown this same spirit of unwavering loyalty to the welfare of their country—when it was easy to make a compromise. Witness the devotion of Mrs. L. L. Rewalt to the Union, during the Civil War. As there is to be no compromise in a moral issue in commercial, and in political and public life— so there is to be none in regard to living a true Christian life. PERSONALS. —Joseph Gott, 44 '05,” seems to enjoy trolley rides occasionally. —The “Gibson Model” of 44’05” has changed her vocation to writing poetry, so the 44 '04 ” don’t know 44 everything.” —People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Moral : People that don't dress ‘‘swell ” shouldn’t criticise others. —It was noticed the other day at the studio that Laura DeGroot tried to captivate the photographer by dropping her eyes in a coy wav. —Frank Penney needn't think he is the whole ocean because he has a wave in his hair. —Katherine Hayes is using “Winslow’s” soothing syrup now-a-days. —Jennie Hassett believes in taking life easy [especially in school], —Motto for Florence Houston : 44 More Haste, less speed.” —John Landy—44 Hurrah for Ellenville, b-e-a-n-8.” FINIS.
