THE PIONEER 23 The financial end of the Athletics cannot be handled by those who play on the teams. It is up to every student in the school to support the High School Athletics. If every student in the High School would give one dollar at the beginning of next year towards the Athletic Fund the Association would have one hundred and fifty dollars to start the season with. Let us be able to say by the first of next October that the fund has reached over that amount and that your dollar helped to make it so. Now let us look forward to the coming season of Athletics and say that we are going to start off with a well formed Athletic Association, a Basket-Ball, Foot-Ball or Base-Ball Team with a crowd of fellows who have the “ Stick To-gether” spirit, and who are not looking for individual honors, but who say to themselves, “ I want to win my letters this year and the only way I can do it is by working together with the fellow alongside of me. W. H. S. The New Temple of Learning IN the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and eleven, there opened its doors to the students of ye ancient Goshen, a new Temple of Learning. Certain Goshen Fathers of Learning, aided by certain wise men from the great and learned city of Albany, selected as the site for the Temple, a spot in the center of the village of Goshen, near the place where every year are held celebrated equestrian contests. Let me describe to you this Temple of Learning. It is heated and ventilated by the most approved system, and is lighted throughout by electricity, and is supplied with all modern appliances. Three doors lead into the Temple, two on either end, being for the knowledge seekers, the young men and women respectively, and the great middle door for the learned pedagogues. The front door opens on the ground floor. On the left of it is the pedagogues' parlor and girls' retiring room, while on the right is the of- fice of the Board of Education, both of which are elegantly furnished in solid oak. On this same floor are the lockers, the light, airy gymnasium, and several store rooms which in the near future are to be used for domestic science and manual training. Leading up from the front entrance to the first floor are fire-proof stairs. On each side of the first landing is a bronze tablet One is Lincoln’s Gettysburg oration, given by the Major Murray Camp, Sons of Veterans, and the other is the dedication tablet. The corridor of the first floor is tiled. The walls are hung with pictures of Grecian sculpture and architecture. On this floor are the class rooms for the three primary grades, the rooms for the commercial and typewriting department, both of which are well equipped ; and a library of two thousand volumes with shelf room for four thousand. In addition there are complete reference libraries in each department. Here, too, occupying part of the main building and the rear wing, is the large auditorium which may easily seat five hundred persons, with ample stage and dressing rooms. On the second floor is a corridor, a large, well lighted academic study hall with accommodations for about one hundred and twenty students; the pedagogues’ training class and four class rooms for academic work; besides the two labratories for Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, which are large well lighted rooms, equipped with every appliance neccessary for the work on these subjects. At the head of the corridor is the chief of the pedagogue’s office, which, like the rest of the building, is finished in mission style and is furnished with oak. On the whole our new Temple of Learning satisfies in every detail, both the practical and the aesthetic. M. M„ ’12.
