DEAR SENIORS: WE are most indebted to you for the careful way in which you have looked out for our welfare, and we will try to follow your advice as far as possible. We are sorry to say in most respects you are impossible. You certainly showed great discretion when you chose such a dignified person for your leader. A class that is so dependent should feel lucky that they had one member who knew his lessons at least three times a week. Your president makes a fine leader for the parade which daily trots to Virgil at his heels. That is an excellent example of your self reliance. We all realize that no class has ever set such ideas of high standings and patriotism as yours has. It is with much regret that we say we expect to carry these out along different lines than you have used and we hope to have much better results. What can be said about your colors, green and white? They are certainly most appropriate, if not pretty. Surely one could not think of them without being reminded of the bright green shade of the one and the pure freshness of the other. Let us caution you that if white is stored in a dark corner, it will turn after a long time to a yellow of knowledge, one of the colors most fitting to our class. As you are soon to commence on the road of trials and temptations, we advise you not to act so proudly and foolishly as you did when you were Seniors, or you will have a dreadful fall. But in closing, let me say in behalf of the Juniors, that although we reprimand you Seniors of 1912, we heartily wish you happiness and the best success in future years. P. Y.

28 THE PIONEER names of Isabelle Borland and Harriett Bush. I thought of what good times these two must have with positions in the same school. As the pictures moved the scene along to Syracuse, a train was seen steaming into the depot. The prophet told me that the man who was quickly caring for the mail on the train, was William Bacon, of Goshen, Class of 1912. He certainly seemed an efficient mail clerk. The scenery then changed to a business street in the city of Albany. There we could see a large quantity of machinery chugging away and standing by the side of this was unmistakably, Orlando Smith, the class talker. His face now bore the expression of seriousness and duty, because he had become a mechanical engineer of considerable eminence. My companion continued the story by telling me that “ Gussie ” Lippert was also in Albany and that he was the State Veterinary and a very good one at that. Then this picture vanished and I could see the skyscrapers of the metropolis. As the street moved by the likeness of a large bank was seen and I was told that Ralph Earle of the desired class was cashier of a well-known savings bank. Then Newburgh was on the scene, a place by which we quickly passed, as the magician explained that Anna Strong lived there, the wife of a civil engineer. The scenery then moved back toward dear old Goshen. Just at this moment, a terrible roaring, accompanied by streaks of light and followed by strains of music, was heard. The Magician declared he could talke no more and the Sibyl ushered me out of a large white gate. As 1 reached the surface, 1 looked around amazed and saw the sun streaming in my window. Then I recognized the music to be the voice of my dear mother calling: Charlette, you must get up if you’re going to school. Thus, I did not learn the fate of the secretary, but please all hope for the best. C. A. S. Miss Ames—Speaking of monopolies—If there was a Horse Radish trust that would probably be about as strong as any.
