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.

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.
