pioneer. fcosben jRifllt School, Goshen, $. iu«f, Nineteen ftundml and £tx. Preface. IN again presenting to the public this rather small piece of literary accomplishment, we feel like saying what Oliver Goldsmith did. in reference to the Vicar of Wakefield, when it was about to be published for the first time: “ There are a hundred faults in this thing, and a hundred things might be said to prove them beauties, but it is needless. A book may be amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity.” We hope this to be the best of all the class papers, yet printed, in fact we believe it to be so, and hope the public will take the same view. The success of getting up a class paper, depends, of course, entirely upon the intellectual ability of the members who contribute to its make up, and as no one is ashamed of any member of ’06, so we feel the same about the result of our work. And now in closing, in behalf of the senior class allow me to thank all, whether business men, members of the Alumni, or outsiders, who have willingly and pleasantly, helped us in any way. Sincerely, THE EDITOR. Class Hell. THOMAS T. TUTHILL, President. PERCY M. IVORY, Vice-President. EDITH A. HARRINGTON, Secretary. BERTHA R. MILLS, Treasurer. TERESA A. BYRNE. MABEL A. KNAPP.

THE PIONEER. 3 ONE OF THE EVENTS OF THE DAY THE MEMORIAL DAY GAMES. 10 every youngster. Memorial Day presents itself, as the greatest day in all the school calendar. ’Tis then, that he sees his big brother of Athletic Fame carry the favorite colors of his school to victory, and when he himself dreams of some day, achieving the same glory. To the athlete, himself, it means far more, for if he is able to receive an ovation from the hundreds of pretty girls present, he has indeed earned fame. And to the public in general, it means an afternoon of real pleasure, free from the worry of business, and other cares. Everything tends to add to the beauty of the scene, as one takes a seat in the spacious grandstand, and looks out upon a landscape, extremely picturesque. The perfect stretch of track, the neat and well kept grounds, and all of this shut in by that gem of emerald beauty—Slate Hill. The fine representation of the gentler sex. and finally the white-clad forms of the athletes themselves, running here and there. Goshen has never fared well in athletics, to use the expression. But it can be said without boasting, that could we have had the services of our efficient Captain, this year at any rate would have been a successful one. in the annals of Goshen High School Athletics. However, the three firsts that were secured by three members of our track team, are forerunners of better things next year. L. C. M.
