Reply to Charge DEar Beloved Seniors: MOST thankfully and gratefully do we receive your kind and thoughtful words of advice to us, who, in our Junior year, although soon to become Seniors, do indeed need such wisdom and direction. We shall try to carry out your wishes, to bear the responsibilities of our years and dignity. Surely we ought to, after having such good examples set before us in the past year. It will be very hard to excel these records of greatness and virtue, and we doubt if we can. There is only one thing in which we may, perhaps, do better. We are going to have a little more class spirit, to inspire folks with our worth and honor that they may not forget that there are such things as “ Seniors ” in the school. You have suggested that we may be the first to graduate from the new high school building-If we are, we fully realize the great honor given to us and will prove how much we appreciate it by doing our best, as a shining light and genius, to set an example for future generations. But the time now draws near when you will be leaving us. Therefore, with the greatest sorrow, both for you and for ourselves, do we mourn that soon no longer will your footsteps be heard within these ancient walls, no more your sweet and gentle voices or the sound of your musical laughter. Then we will keep with us the memory of all these things and look forward to the time when we, too, shall be setting out into the wide world, to which as you leave us to go into, the best wishes and good fortune of the Junior Class of 1911 follow you.

THE PIONEER 21 L. G., C. Ewing. A forward did well to get away from “ Mabel. At the interscholastic meet. May 28, Goshen won third place with but four men. That certainly is a good showing. Goshen could never expect to win the meet against Middletown and Newburgh. J. Lewis, our only runner, showed up well and if he trains will be a sure point winner next year. In the half mile bicycle race Ryer-son’s chain broke at the start. If this had not happened we would have had five more points. However, Ewing scored second. The two mile bicycle race was the suprise. Ryerson, who had never ridden two miles in training, set the pace for a mile and a half and got third, Ewing following the field until the last half. Then he started to sprint. It was a close race, but the Newburgh rider managed to win by less than a wheel length. Capt. Welsh, who had been putting the shot forty-two feet in practice, could not do better than thirty-nine on the day of the meet, so the best he could get was second. The winner put it thirty-nine feet and ten inches. The same was true in the discus throw. Welsh came second to Lovely, of Middletown, with a throw of one hundred twenty-three feet. The point score of the meet was as follows: Middletown, 61. Newburgh, 54. Goshen, 13. Florida, 7. Washingtonville, 6. Port Jervis, 5. Warwick, 3. Walden, 3. Chester, 0. Cornwall, 0. Goshen will be represented at the following meets during the summer. Middletown, Newburgh, and Ellenville. So far we have scored thirteen points and hope to gain many more before the season closes. Goshen High, however, will lose some of its athletes this year, but we hope those who remain and the young fellows will take a greater interest than they have this year. Don’t try to excuse yourself by saying you cannot accomplish anything. Certainly no one can win if he does not train hard for weeks. Perhaps after training he cannot win a place but he has lost nothing by the attempt. Besides the physical gain he is better fitted to compete another year and when he does make his first point he will have a feeling of satisfaction such as he has never had before In conclusion, we urge all the boys who are left in school to train themselves and do their best. Do what you can for the honor of our dear “ New High School and do not try to be excused from your duty. J. M. W., Captain of Track and Basketball Team.
