In 1912 a track meet between the students of the A arwick and the Goshen High Schools was planned for, hut unfortunately the teams were unable to set a date, before the scliol year rolled around. A cup was purchased of our local jeweler Mr. Swezey, to be given to the winner in the contest. Since Mr. Swezey had the cup on his hands and no way to dispose of it, the class of ’13 purchased it. It was presented to the school in honor of the Athletic Association and the names of those, who win points in the Orange County Interscholastic Contest, will be inscribed upon it. This year, the names of Charles Coleman Henry Merritt and William Welsh appear on it. The two former students are members of the Senior Class. The school will lose some of its Athletes this year, but we urge those who remain to train themselves and have their names engraved on the Memorial of the Class of 1913. Senior Class Play. On the evening of March 14, the Senior Class of 1913 presented the three act play, “A Regiment of Two.” Never before, in the memory of the residents of Goshen, has a comedy been given that gave such great credit, not only to the cast but to their instructress, Miss Bucklyn, and their instructor, Mr. John J. Lee. The enthusiasm shown by the audience, at every appearance of the German plumber, was indeed a fine proof that Charles C. Coleman made the hit of the evening. Maude Schoonmaker, as Elizabeth, the wife of Ira Wilton, endeavored to subdue a husband already tired of matrimonial bond. Marion Borland acted fine her part as a German maid and fiancee of Melzer, the plumber. Henry B. Merritt took the part of Arthur Sewail, a theoretical warrior. Ho made a very fine appearance as he was about to march otT to war with the gallant 39th. The part of Ira Wilton, the father-in-law, was taken by Charles H. Lynch. He proved proved himself loyal, not only to The Tiger Club, but to the regiment, as well. Russell C. Rutan played the part of Lord Dudley, which was very difficult and he did it exceedingly well.

THE PIONEER. “Old Glory’’ Raised! 19 Marjorie Stocken was Laura, the young daughter of Ira Wilton. Even though she had the chance to become the wife of an English Lord, she remained faithful to her true lover. Jean Hardie, taking the part of Grace Sewall, the wife of Arthur, acted well the part of a wife and later of a widow. Abram S. Clark acted the part of Harry Brenthworth. His return from the outbreak at Panama, where he was supposed to have been killed, was a very joyful affair for his fiancee, Laura Wilton. Win. Reid Moser, as Jim Buckner, “The Parson,” the best shot in Texas, acted his part like a true cowboy. To show their appreciation to Miss Bucklyn, for her tireless endeavor to make the play the gieat success, which it was, the class presented her with a beautiful desk set. The Senior Class wishes to thank the public and all others concerned in making the play a great success. ’13. Example of Exposition in English Class. I will never forget my first attempt at milking a cow. My father went away one morning, expecting to return before night but he did not come, so 1 was left to do the milking. I did all the easy chores before beginning as 1 knew I would be physically unable to perform them after milking. Then I started for the cow and she came to me more easily than I had expected. 1 started all right, and then—what do you suppose happened?—nothing! A Senior, ’13. Dear Father: Am on the hog. Please send money to come home on—Son. Dear Son: Sell hog and buy ticket.— Father. On June 2nd, 1913, the students of the public schools, assembled on the High School grounds to witness the raising of “Old Glory” on the new flag pole. This event was to take place on Memorial Day but owing to the strong breeze and the newly planted pole, it was decided unwise to raise the flag on that day. After the singing of America, by the students, the flag was raised by Mary C. Coleman and Lucie Wallace. Then the students saluted the flag and after some selections by the Girls’ Glee Club, the student body was dismissed. The flag and pole improve greatly the already beautiful grounds. C. C. C., T3. D.
