14 THE PIONEER To Anna Strong we give credit for be-iug the best uatured girl in the school. To Sayer Seely we give the advice that he will leave “her” white kid gloves at home after his Sunday evening call. My, but they were monstrous! To Helen Wallace, one large bottle of Vichy’s anti fat—to be taken just before meals. To Earl Roosa we give and also advise (by Condict’s direction) to take nine dozen bottles of Mrs. Winslow’s soothing syrup for uncontrollable temper. To Marjorie Stocken we give the advice not to train with a “Dumbed” for the new gymnasium. To Gussie Lippert, the treasurer, we leave a cake of soap and a cloth with which to wash out his mouth at the beginning of the day to keep him from false ejaculations. To Myrtle McMunn, the hope that she will fulfill the contract with a certain person of waiting in the park during the summer months. To Ralph Earle the advice that he will not pay the admittance of girls escorted by another fellow. To Roswell Purdy we bequeath a pair of dark glasses to cover up those dangerous eyes. To Orlando Smith we kindly leave the advice that in the futui’e he shall control his ardent emotions and not hug the bed post after being out with his lady friend. To William Welsh, the “sunshine” of the class, we give the privilege of drumming up trade for his brother. To Evaleen Hartman a chafing dish in which to make “welsh” rabbit. To Willis Marsh we bequeath a rattle box and—a new girl. To Lester Tremper a copy, of that patriotic poem (Barbara) F(r)itchie. Senior Class of 1911. In witness whereof, we, the undersigned, do hereby affix our names on this first day of June, nineteen hundred eleven. President Taft, Alexander Hamilton. Base Ball History 3N 1911, Goshen again entered the County Base Ball League, with a team much stronger than last year but not with as much experience. A meeting was called and Joe Lewis elected captain; Donald Parker, manager and Henry Merritt, treasurer. As Parker was soon placed in quarantine, Henry Merritt was elected manager in his place. After a tryout Lewis named the following team: 0. Smith—catcher. J. Lewis—pitcher. E. Roosa—1st base. W. Welsh—2d base. J. Sargent—short stop. R. Purdy—3d base. L. Tremper—left field. II. Alexander—center field. P. R. Schriver—right field. G. Lippert—sub. With the strong pitching of Lewis we beat Middletown, April 8, to the tune of 5-4. Our journey to Chester was celebrated by a great hit by Roosa, which won us the game with score 5-4. Tremper made sensational catches which, if missed, would have easily defeated us. With great difficulty we beat Warwick, 6-5, Tremper making fine double play on hard liner.

THE PIONEER ble. A large ship was floating in the harbor and a regiment of soldiers appeared to be embarking. A young officer wearing tbe bars of a lieutenant was just bidding a farewell to his anxious friends. As he turned I saw it was Paul—the only boy of our class. Out on the prairies we passed Bertha. She was cantering along on horseback, viewing from under her broad sombrero tbe fields and herds of her husband. Now that I had seen the last person of the memorable class of 1911, suddenly 1 felt a severe blow, and upon investigating, found that a large apple had fallen, waking me from my dream of the future and my courting of Father Time. Acknowledgments There are no truer friends of the Goshen High School than the ones who by their generosity, enliven the attention of the parents and the public to the furtherance of the education of High School pupils. Among our true friends are Mr. Frank Drake. To him we are indebted for the donation of $10 for the member of the Senior class who obtains the highest average in answering one hundred general questions submitted by him on religion, books, famous people, politics and current topics. Mr. George F. Gregg, Mr. Joseph Merritt, Esq., Mr. William N. Hoffman and Prin. M. C. Smith are the donors of a fund of $30, given annually, as an inducement to local talent in the development of oratory. Dr. E. G. Parker, Dr. Charles Thompson, Judge J. B. Sweezy and Sheriff A. C. Sutherland are the donors of an appropriation for purchasing gold and silver medals, 13 to be contested for by the different schools of Orange County. The Minisink Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution gives annually two five dollar gold pieces to the pupils of the High School writing the two best essays upon an appropriate topic chosen by the Chapter. This topic has always been historical and the students enter it with great zeal. The Board of Education contributes $10 to the person showing the best average for the four High School years. This scholarship prize has been the means of much keen rivalry among the students. We are very grateful to our worthy friends for increasing the standard of excellence, the power of speech, the gift of writing, and the power of keen observation and judgment. We trust that we may keep developing those powers which our friends have awakened within us and that we may prove ourselves worthy of the motto, “Facta non Verba.” P. R. S. Ml. Class Will E, the class of 1911 of Goshen High School, being of most sound mind and memory, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To Charlotte Schriver, the most worthy president of this renowned (?) class of M2, we bequeath the east corner of Garr Hall in which to entertain her friends next year at tbe basket ball games—those who come from the neighboring schools. To Henry Merritt, the vice president, we give a new list of excuses for being late. To Dorothy Parker, their secretary, a share in the “Saver” lumber yard.

THE I TONEHR J5 A disruption in the team gave the next game to Port Jervis, 14-4. Our visit to Warwick was marred by a beating, 16-4, for our opponents. Campbell Hall A. C. made us a visit and trimmed us, 13-4. If this was a regular game the home team would have won as they played errorless ball. Chester made us a visit and whitewashed us, 16-0, due to civil strife which caused many errors. Then came the traitors’ game and we forfeited to Port Jervis, 9-0. The squealers being fired, new recruits were added and the team intends to finish the league with a per cent, of .500. Recruits who did themselves justice were Coleman, Rutan and MacCormack. The town people generously provided funds for suits for the team and we take this opportunity of thanking them for their assistance. We expect to enter next year with more spirit and a vast experience, and if Goshen is kept from first position it will be with difficulty. Good wishes to next year’s team and may they exist without civil strife. “E.” The Live One. A west end dealer in stuffed animals who also keeps a few live creatures for sale gave his clerk permission to sell the stuffed specimens, but wished to be called if any one wanted any of the live animals. One day a gentleman called and asked to see a monkey. “Any of these?” asked the clerk, pointing to the stuffed specimens. “No; 1 want a live one,” replied the customer. The boy stepped to the door of the back shop and called to the owner, “Step this way, please, you’re wanted!”—London Ideas. “Robert, what in the world is the matter with the baby?” “Why, mamma, I had to spank her.” “Had to spank her! Why, Robert, what do you mean?” “Me and Jimmie was playin’ poker with lozengers, and the baby went and et up nearly all the stakes.”—Youngstown Telegram. He—At last we are alone! I’ve been hoping for this chance. She—So have I. He—So you guessed, then, that I wanted to tell you I loved you? She—Yes, and I wanted to say “No” and have it over.—Philadelphia Times. Boom! Boom! Boom! Lewis, leave the room! Don’t stop to talk, Just get up and walk. An argument you seek? Then stay out for a week. Boom! Boom! Boom! Lewis, leave the room! No one should be “fired” without a fail-trial by a jury of his peers. This is necessary to prevent discrimination against the G. H. S. pluggers, whom otherwise the faculty might “fire” without just cause. We insist upon this fundamental principle of liberty, upheld from time immemorial and reiterated by our forefathers. Trial by a jury of peers is the foundation stone of our liberty.
