THE PIONEER 21 k. TRHCK. TRHM. Fraternity Dance Avery successful dance was given by the Upsilon Tau Sigma Fraternity in the Music Hall on the evening of the Track Meet, June 8th. Every school in the county was represented and everybody had a very enjoyable time. BacK Pioneers THE success of the Goshen High School Track Team was exceptional when we consider the material from which we were able to pick a team. The track team captured third place, defeating Port Jervis by one point. Owing to two unforeseen accidents, Charles Coleman's unfortunate fall at the last hurdle and Orlando Smith’s collision in the last lap of the two mile bicycle race, we were shut out of a sure second place. The following are the points secured by the different schools : Middletown 64. Newburgh 31. Goshen 19. Port Jervis 18. Washingtonville 12. Cornwall 8. EDITOR There’s a lot of things that never go by rule; There’s an awful lot of knowledge That you never get at college. There’s a lot of things you never learn at school. As there is not a single back copy of the Pioneer in the school library, it has been suggested that a call be issued for back numbers. If anyone having a back copy of the Pioneer that is in fair condition is willing to donate it toward making up the complete volume of eight copies for the school library will communicate either by mail or personally with Spencer Horton, the copies will be collected and put in the library. Local Daffies If Edith Munson fell and broke her neck would Miss Carrier? No but Miss Atwood. If Ralph Earle saw Grant would Sayer See-ly? If Dorothy Parker saw it rain would Ruth Snow? Miss Ames—You will never make a prominent man Mr. (Pete) Smith—You talk to much— Oh! how well the students of the high school realize that fact. MORAL—Better chop it Pete. Did you notice how thin Helen got after Easter vacation—Was ist los Herr Roosa?

20 THE PIONEER our first game and played on the I 3th, we took the lead in the first inning and held it throughout the game. Our oponents made one run in the first and one in the second inning, after which they failed to score. There was a fair sized crowd out to see the excellent playing of the local team despite the bad weather. Final score 5-2. On the 20th day of April our team went to Port Jervis, and partly through lack of practice and helpless errors we were beaten 18-5. The following Saturday we went to Warwick with hope in our hearts, only to come back with the final score in Warwick’s favor 9-6. When Port Jervis came here on the 4th of May we put up the best game that we had played up to that time. The score was 1 1-4 in favor of Port Jervis. On the 18th of May we were defeated by Chester at that place by the score of 10-4. The Chester boys made 1 5 errors to our 7 but they made up for that by batting strong. On May 22nd the Suffern High School came up here. The game was a fast from start to finish. We shut Suffern out by a score of 7-0. The enjoyment of the game was marred in the 3rd inning by Van Houten, of Suffern, being struck on the head by a pitched ball while batting. He was rendered unconcious by the blow, and was taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. He remained there until May 30th when he was taken to his home in Monsey. The team was made up of the following fellows during the season: W elsh—catcher. T remper—pitcher. Coleman—1st base. H. Lewis—2nd base. Smith—short stop. J. Lewis—3rd base. Wilcox—left field. R. Earle—center field. Lippert—right field. Bacon—sub.

These occured on Friday afternoons and were greatly anticipated during the week. Besides greatly improving the floor, they were a social event which brought the students together in recreation. They aroused interest in the school life and gave the students a chance to “ educate their heels.” The dances were greatly enjoyed and thanks are due the committee who arranged for them. It is hoped by the school that more will be held next year. D. B. P„ ’12 A Notice All players on the baseball team please report in the basement immediately after school this afternoon.

22 THE PIONEER MEWS “ Never turn back is a very old saying, but let us violate this old adage and turn back to the history of Athletics in the Goshen High School and see if we cannot profit next year by mistakes that have been made in the past few years. In years gone by the Goshen High School has boasted of a Girls' Basketball Team. Why can’t we do the same next year? You girls have “ School Spirit. Get together and organize a team for the season of 1912-1913. Advice to the Coming Athlete Do you younger men realize that the Athletics in a few years to come lie at your mercy and it will be up to you to show what you can do ? You say that you are too young to do anything now. That may be true as far as winning anything is concerned, but what you can do and ought to be doing is to keep in training for the games or events that you intend to go in for. And when your time comes to show what you can do you will be ready to go in and do some- thing for the honor of the Goshen High School. But if you are not ready and your time has come to show your ability, why, by the time you are in condition your opportunity has gone by and the others who have been training have taken your place. AtHletic Association An Athletic Association is a very noted feature lacking in the Goshen High School. Practically every school in the country has an Athletic Association which controls School Athletics. Among the things controlled by such an Association we find: The managing of the current expenses of the teams; deciding the eligibility of the men on the teams; the awarding of the School letters or monogram, etc., which means that no one is allowed to wear the monogram or letters until he has won them. To be eligible to wear them one must have played a certain number of games, been Captain or Manager of a team. The Association awards the letters and monograms once a year to those who have faithfully earned them. Why can’t the Goshen High School boast of one of the finest systems of controlling School Athletics as other schools have done and are doing ? AtHletic Fund A subscription paper was circulated among the High School Students this year and about forty-seven dollars raised in this way and is a very good showing for the first time; but stop to figure it out and you will find that the average amount contributed was about twenty-five cents for each student.
