THE PIONEER. 11 ATHLETIC SPORTS, SEASON OF 1905-1906, GOSHEN HIGH SGHOOL. THE Season of 1905-1906 was one of the most successful in the history of Goshen High School from an athletic point of view when the fact is taken into consideration that at the beginning of the term it was without any trained athletes with the exception of the Captain. After a short practice the season opened with a basket ball game with the Walton High School team which was without question one of the strongest teams i which ever visited this section. The home team | was defeated by the very narrow margin of one j point. The second game was with Tuxedo and the G. H. S. boys won very easily. Since the season started they have defeated in addition to the above team the following: Cornwall High School, two games; St John’s Club of this village, one game. Aside from the Walton team the only other team which was successful in taking their measure was Middletown High School, who defeated them twice, but it was very evident that as the season progressed they improved, as they de- 1 feated the Monroe Athletic Club at Monroe. The Monroe team winning two out of three games from the Middletown High School team and refusing to tackle the Goshen High School boys the second time. The next athletic event was on Memorial Day when with but five starters three first prizes were won, the winners being boys who had never faced the starter in any previous athletic event, the successful contestants being Daniel Carpenter, who won the half mile bicycle race in a field of nine starters ; John Luft, who won the 12 lb. hammer throw, and Lewis Merritt who won the running broad jump. The winning of the above events was rather a surprise to the other schools as the names of Merritt, Luft and Carpenter were not as familiar to them as were some of the others who had been contestants for a number of years. The basket ball team was made up as follows: Duryea, Ivory, Morgan, Landy, Lyon, Terwilliger and Tuthill. JUNIOR GLASS, ’06 Colors, Green and Gold. Flower, Yellow Rose.

But if he only knew what Art she is interested in behind her, he could easily answer the question. Mabel Knapp thinks that after her school days are over she will take up the study of birds but she will spend most of her time on the Hawk(ins). The pen and ink sketches illustrating “The Pioneer” were made by Miss Helen C. Trott. Well done, weren’t they, reader ? Marie Parker has made her decision that she prefers Wal lace to Dutchess lace.

10 THE PIONEER. POEM. I. A band of men, from England's shore, Set out one day to reach New homes, untouched by civil war, True freedom there, to preach. II. A valley fair, between sev’n hills, Man’s eye could wish no more, They settled there, ’mid woodland rills. Their trials, they thought, were o’er. III. Modern Jasons, now they seem, Having crossed the deep, blue ocean, This land of joy, of joys the cream, They named our dear old Goshen. IV. They grew a noble, sturdy race, The truest ’neath the sky. Their sons now fill a grand, old school. That school, the Goshen High. V. One mom, say thirteen years ago, A sturdy chap of eight, Stepped into Noah Webster’s school, Bearing a pad and slate. VI. “Miss Houston, how ah you today, His nerve was quite complete ; We recognize that smile so gay, Our Tommie’s voice so sweet. VII. Thus started a class as yet unsurpassed, The class of 1906, Whose deeds and records, if they were amassed, No librarian ever could fix. VIII. A few years passed, along came Tess, A blushing pig-tailed maid, At first quite shy, but by and by. Beloved by all in her grade. IX. One day a shout was heard without, A chap came running in, “ I hope that I’m at last on time, Lew does like to stay in. X. There in the hall hear someone bawl, “ Go back and close that door, The door swings wide, a step inside, There stands our Peck of yore. XI. A scrappy brat he holds his hat, And glares around the room ; You’d never know our High School beau, He’s changed like any broom. XII. In 19-0-3 another fair maid Entered our dear Alma Mater, Look out for her boys, for when the truth’s said, To repel Helen’s smile is no easy matter. XIII. From Hampton came two fair young maids, One likes dotted waists of various shades, The other demure, but how she can write, In prize essay contests she’s way out of sight. XIV. Of the Miss from Turners we know but a few, And those facts would be of no interest to you, So we’ll turn to ever broad smiling Miss Knapp, And remark she had better get setting her cap. XV. An attachment that dates through Junior days Still exists and is fostered in diverse ways, Now, Mr. President, I advise you not, To be seen playing roots with fair H---. XVI. Referring to our President, three years a non-resident, Honor him, students one and all, He is an ideal, yet living and real. Of what you should be to play basket ball. XVII. Perhaps you don’t know why Peck wears a frown, Tis because he can’t go every night to Middletown ; But still increased are his troubles of late. She’s too busy in the office to arrange a date. XVIII. Now let me praise our Editor, So noble and so grand, Who gives to each contributor, A glad and helping hand. XIX. He seems to have no portion, With that famous Michael Burke, And when he dies ’twill not be said. He lost his life while dodging work. XX. Now knockers, males and females, Just mark this on your slate, I’d rather be Lewis than Prince of Wales, If he’d drop his questions and quit being late. F. MURRY LYON.

Percy Ivory: “What is your favorite flower?’’ Edith Harrington: The dandelion (dandy Lyon). —Lewis Merritt thinks a Trott better than a pace. —Augustus Wallace: “What is your favorite soap ?’’ Mabel Knapp: “Ivory, of course.” —Tom Tuthill is very fond of the part of the Bible that tells about Adam(s). —Those evening walks with the (Ice)Berg have frozen Percy Ivory. —Katheryne Hayne may be a Morgan some day, but not a J. P. After spending six months in an advanced school, Florence Houston returned to old G. H. S. to gain Mer(r)it(t). —Miss Farrand and Professor Smith should not have interrupted that little private tete-tete in the office the other day for showing affection is only forbidden in the halls. GRINDS. Teresa Byrne is very anxious to start a basketball team instead of a Hip Hip Hurrah Club, and we elect Mabel Knapp as a member. The class of ’06 can boast of having Mills without an owner. The young ladies of the class of '07 are of the | opinion that early morning walks are an aid to I beauty. Tom Tuthill says the only reason why he goes ! to the cosy comer the 3rd period in the morning is simply for the Trott. Art. Duryea has resigned his position as leader of Coxie’s army because he thinks one out of the army quite enough to manage. Percy Ivory feels very lonely during these warm days because the time has now come when the ice-Berg must depart. The members of the class of '06 notice that Bertha Borland takes an occasional visit to Florida. Harry Morgan’s little gift tied with the favorite color ribbon of the donor should be carefully kept for future use. It has been noticed that Fanny Jackson has a great love for Marsh (mellows). The president of the class of ’06 says he would rather come to school with a Stocken on his arm than wearing one on his lower limb. Although Edith is strong she might be stronger.
