22 THE PIONEER 5DLETY I). A. K. ESSAY CONTEST. On the evening of March 1st in the High School Auditorium the two annual prizes, given by the Minisink Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, were awarded. The subject chosen was: “The Civil Service Reform.” A number of essays were submitted. The Glee Club sang some selected pieces which were followed by a very interesting speech by Rev. J R. Sizoo. After his address Miss Alice Hart Neafie presented the prizes which were awarded to Helen Durland and Christine Makuen. Their wras no honorable mention as Miss Neafie said, “All deserved equal praise.” On that evening a bust of George Washington was presented to the school by the Patriotic Order Sons of America, for which the school is very grateful. Each year the students look forward to the day when Minisink Chapter visits the school. S. H. L. 16. Marston:—I know a fellow who is ready to box anyone in the world for $25. Gillespie:—Who is he, a White Hope? Marston:—No, an undertaker. If Harold Houston landed in Middletown, where would Anne Sutherland? THE GOSHEN ATHLETIC FIELD. This past year has been an eventful one for the Goshen High School. Early in the spring Mr. A. S. Murray, Jr., and Dr. James C. Coleman very generously gave the tract of land in the rear of the Erie Street school, which extends to the Montgomery tracks, as seen by the accompanying illustration. According to the plans there will be a quarter-mile cinder track with a hundred yards straightaway. Inside the track there will be a splendid baseball diamond, where Goshen’s future champion teams may fight their battles. Closeby the track a spacious grand stand will be placed, to the south of which will be two tennis courts. The Field will be enclosed with trees and shrubs, which will add much to the beauty of the grounds. No one can tell to what an extent this field will benefit not only the High School, but also the town but, that great benefit will be derived from it, there can be no doubt. Once more we, the High School students, express our gratitude to those who have made possible this field. WANTED:—Our rear seats in the Study Hall. HAROLD GILLESPIE, ALICE GOTT, HARRY MARSTON, ELLEN COATES.

THE PIONEER 21 6-1. but the following Wednesday Middletown came to Goshen and we reversed the score in our favor, 7-6. The game was most exciting as Middletown was ahead 6-3 in the ninth and two out, when Goshen scored the winning runs, thus ending the series with Middletown. The team’s line-up is as follows: Raymond Richner, catcher. Joseph Gerow, pitcher. , Harold Gillespie, first base. Raymond Seaman, second base. W’illiam Clark, short stop. Millard Strack, third base. Clifford Morvin, left field. Henry Hansen, center field. Everett Peat, right field. Harold Knapp, substitute. Y. M. C. A. In company with the various other activities of our school, the boys’ Y. M. C. A. Noon Group is completing its course for this school year. Beginning in early fall, meetings have been held one noon each week with a regular attendance of over twenty high school boys, eighty per cent, of whom are from the farms. The group was first organized by County Secretary Z. L. Wilcox, under whose leadership it has continued. The general program has consisted of a luncheon served by a committee of the members, followed by outdoor games or a talk by an invited guest. The latter feature has been especially educating and inspiring. Many splendid talks by both business and professional men have been enjoyed. During the last school term, alternating with regular speakers, a series of discussions on ethics have been in charge of Rev. C. A. Dann. Though space is not used here to name our speakers, benefactors and others who have contributed to the success and pleasure of the year’s work, we wish to again extend to them our hearty appreciation. Our club was represented at the big Rochester State Convention, December 1-3, by four delegates. On February 17th, a union meeting of the girls’ and boys’ groups, similar to last year’s, was held in the auditorium, with over eighty present. After refreshments, patriotic speeches and songs in celebration of the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington were enjoyed. Music was furnished by the Y. M. C. A. orchestra. The officers for the year have been: Herman France, President. Raymond Seaman. Vice-President. Howard Manchester, Secretary and Treasurer. We feel proudly confident that we have even surpassed the efficiency and success of previous groups, and hope our challenge may be an impetus in next year’s continuation of the good work. H. W. F. ’16. THE CHAUTAUQUA ENTERTAINMENT COURSE On February eighth, ninth and tenth, 1916, the people of Goshen enjoyed an unusual treat. The Chautauqua Entertainment Bureau of Elmira, N. Y., gave very pleasing programs, both afternoon and evening of those days. Dr. Downey, the director of the bureau, spoke each afternoon in a very interesting and instructive way on theories concerning the training of children. Dr. Turner lectured on “How to Rebuild Your Town,” Frank Stephens, a man strongly against preparedness, on “The World’s War,” and Dr. Pierson, of Swarth-. more College, gave a short, inspiring talk filled with beautiful poems anecdotes and words of wisdom. Very enjoyable musical programs were rendered by the Soiree Singers, the College Club and the Cartwright Brothers. In my opinion the most pleasant evening was spent in listening to Miss Agnes Doyle give the reading. “Peg of My Heart.” She portrayed this sweet story so charmingly that no one could be present and not be immediately captivated by her. After the last evening’s entertainment, all who had attended agreed that no more delightful week could have been passed, and hoped that at no very distant date another course of like nature might be as successfully carried out. C. M. ’16. Small Boy:—“Good flshin’?” “Yes, sir; ye go down that private road till ye come to the sign, •Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted.’ cross the field with th’ bull in it an’ you’ll see a sign. ‘No Fishing Allowed’—that’s it.” Miss Scott:—Why are the middle aged known as the dark ages? Dorothy Dougherty:—Because there were so many Knights. Teacher:—“Philip, where is Mexico?” Philip:—“On page ten of the geography. Miss.”
