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. A. R. Essay Prizes. As formerly, the Minisink Chapter, D. A. R., offered prizes this year, amounting to five dollars each, for the two best essays written by students of the High School. The subject was, “The Struggle for a Continent.” A number of essays were written and submitted to the judges, Miss Alice Neafie birthdar, the students and the members of the Chapter, assembled in the High School auditorium and after singing and a lecture an Abraham Lincoln, the decision was announced. The prizes were awarded to Spencer Horton and William Vogel, Russell Rutan receiving honorable mention. Last year,s prize winners, Majorie Stocken and Dorothy Parker, escorted Spencer and William to the stage where each read his essay. M. H. S.—’13.

Concerning the dignity of the Seniors, we have noticed that often the front seats as well as the back ones have been occupied by certain members of your class during the past year, in certain periods of the day. Ask Miss Bunn. As to “pony-trotting,” we have never heard a little speech made in the High School auditorium against that, but we have on certain occasions heard oue against “turkey-trotting.” But cheer up, old friends; perhaps you are getting old and childish. And now, dear Seniors, listen to some good advice before you take your depart- ure into the “vale of tears.” Always rely upon yourselves. You have never succeeded in school by too free use of the ‘ ‘ beaten path” to the Valedictorian’s desk, and after you leave old G. H. S., the “beaten .path” will have been left behind, but you go on forever. We repeat, dear Seniors, rely on yourselves, or when the test comes you will slowly say, “Flunked again!” And we further advise you to sej a better example for your younger associates than you have to us juniors during this year. Are you not ashamed of your past conduct? Some of the teachers are getting pale and thin, caused by worry over you. We all have our faults, but some people seem to have more of them than others. So, old friends, we hope you will profit by our kind advice, and every time you do so, remember the Class of ’14. Wishing you the heartiest success in everything you undertake, we remain, Your humble friends, Class of ’14. R. W., Pres. The Digestion of the Juvenile Population of Goshen in the High School. At nine o’clock a bell is rung! The huge High School prepares to swallow its morning meal. Ding! ding! ding—the last bell! Gobble! gobble! gobble!—in its mouth the juvenile population is thoroughly mixed with dusty juice and by means of the contraction and expansion of the latitudinal and longitudinal muscles, the population is pushed up a long stairical esophagus. It pauses to rest on the larynx box and there goes on. It reaches the gullet from which it enters the stomach. Here the ju-
