The sanitary advantage of finished floors is becoming more and more apparent. Carpets are an abiding place for dirt, no matter with what care they are swept.

If you contemplate building a new house, insist that it be finished throughout with natural JAP-A-LAC. This varnish is unexcelled for use on hard or soft wood floors and interior woodwork, producing a brilliant and durable finish that will “ WEAR LIKE IRON.” Shears. A perfect cutting shear nowadays is a curiosity—unless it is a WISS SHEAR. The Wiss Shear has been so perfected in manufacturing that it is the only satisfactory shear to use.

In presenting to the public this, the second Goshen High School Senior Class paper, we would ask that our readers criticise us gently and accept it “ with all its imperfections on its head,” as it is intended, first to give an idea of the personal idiosyncrasies of the members of the graduating class, and second, to give an idea of the school and the work being carried on there. In the name of the Senior Class of ’05 we desire to thank those who have so kindly and generously contributed literary material to this paper. Also we would express our gratitude to the business men who have aided us financially, and in behalf of our advertisers, urge the readers of this paper to patronize home industry. THE EDITOR. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. Upon the eve of graduation, the honored president of our class is sadly bereaved in the loss of a greatly beloved uncle and aunt; be it therefore, Resolved: That we, the members of the class of ’05, of Goshen High School, do hereby extend to Joseph W. Gott, 3rd, our heartiest sympathy in his affliction, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to him, and that they appear in our class paper. For the class, (Florence M. Houston, JFuank H. Penney. (•) THE PIONEER CLASS PROPHECY. Since the world began has the old saying held true, that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, and in his own house, and never has it been more truly exemplified than now, when methinks I can see, O my prophetic soul ! all of the ’05’s and many of the superior ’00’s, holding up hands of astonishment and exclaiming: “What is this that has come unto the son of Kish (otherwise Kid of the class) ? Is Saul also among the prophets?” Has it never dawned upon your minds, nor entered into your hearts, oh my sisters and brothers, that she who may have appeared quiet and retiring, who may, perchance, have even been dubbed the Silent One, has been so, perforce and because of her mission? And deem her not wanting in social instinct and class spirit, nor in proper appreciation of class fun and flirtation, but know that her mind has been occupied with peerings into the future, and her time taken up with consultations with the fates, and in preparation for the announcement which the time has come to declare: “ I am Madam Oracle, and when I open my lips let no dog bark.” And now, oh ye fates, be kind ! Swing wide the portals of the future, and lift the mystic veil, that mine eyes, dark with dreaming, may look far beyond, into the coming years. And ye, my beloved classmates, draw near and lend your listening ears while mine occult art doth portray that which mine eyes do see. Come hither, Hazel ; let me be the witch and tell thy fortune true Yea, this is Hazel, treading with stately steps the college campus, making glorious records in school work and again becoming valedictorian of her class. Looking still further into the years, I see her founding and presiding over a Woman’s College, which seems to be a more influential center of learning than any we now know in our beloved land. Let me close mine eyes while I speak of Jennie Bassett, lest the sweet picture fade too quickly. The voices have whispered of years of travel in distant lands, with all the advantages which the chaperonage of a wealthy lady can give. And now I plainly see my dear classmate as queen of a happy home, the surroundings of which appear to be English, and a manly form is by her side, and the air is filled with the music of children’s voices. I behold the radiant matron bending with loving touch toward the little ones, and, as the vision fades, she seems to be moving among guests, dispensing gracious hospitality. There is nothing mysterious about Sadie’s fate. The lines of thy future, my classmate, are well defined, and the prophecy is plain. Listen to the Seer. The spell which hath brought local fame and power to the Goshen High School, and which maketh proud the class, shalt develop until the author becomes the world renowned basketball player, whose victories, together with her native charms, shall attract a famous athlete. My prophetic heart gives the comforting assurance, that the time spent in public doth not in any wise detract from a life of domestic happiness and joy. And now comes our sweet Katherine for whom the near future seems to be filled with brilliant work in the University class room, lightened with outside pleasures and social success. I see her graduating from Syracuse in the class of 1909. Now the scene changes to White Plains where I behold her as the valued and trusted assistant of our honored Mr. Baskerville, teaching German and Latin, and otherwise training the minds of the coming generations. The further lines are dim and hazy but yet surrounded by a glow of golden light which most surely indicates happiness and prosperity. Who is this that appearetli before me in the distance, tall and prosperous looking, wearing the laurels of success upon his brow? He ap-peareth the prominent member of the editorial staff in a large and flourishing city newspaper office. Surely it is our friend Frank Penny whose remarkable ability in this line even now we recognize. And again the voices whisper, this time telling of years of labor and great devotion to work, of feats accomplished in engineering ; the scientific journals by which he is surrounded, are filled with glowing accounts of a wonderful discovery in electricity. Draw near, Laura, and let us look upon the page of thy future. It seemeth dimly written, and yet I make out the story of a woman’s cares and duties bravely borne, and well fulfilled. And is it the home of a rector or a college professor? At least the one who shareth the home seemeth good and kind, and we must leave it to time to unfold more clearly that which the years will bring. Again the vision seemeth to be that of an athletic field. We behold John Landy as captain and pitcher of the Giants, winning the THE PIONEER 7 championship of the country ; a big special from Goshen passeth before our sight on the way to the metropolis, to witness the final triumph of the season. And what of his private work ? Again the vision vanisheth all too quickly, but praise and j ower seemeth to hover about it. Scarce could it be otherwise with one of the class of ’( 5. I see as if written upon a piece of parchment and unrolled before my gaze, the future of another of the class of 1905. Charlotte Glover's high school course hath been followed by one in bookkeeping, and by years filled with devotion and loving ministration in the home, until finally her heart’s desire hath been accomplished, and she is dedicating her life to the cause of mission work in distant lands, winning many of the benighted to the cause of Christianity. And now there remaineth only one more who, with his usual courtesy, hath waited until the last. Let us look with bated breath, and fix our gaze more intently, that wre may read correctly the future of the class president. The score that unfoldeth to our vision is brilliant with light, and the ear is filled with music. Fair women and gallant men lead the mazy dance and the form that appeareth to be leader of the “four hundred” is Mr. Gott with the accustomed handsome flush still upon his cheek, a very Beau Brummel, Lord Chesterfield and Ward McAllister in one. But not alone as a society leader is our president renowned ; the spirit voices whisper of a life work with high aims, of knightly deeds accomplished and noble purposes faithfully carried out. We foresee that he who hath so admirably led the class along its weary way to this final triumphant finish shall be likewise successful in all his future undertakings. But listen ! Something calls me back. It is the murmur of childish words seemingly in prattle with older speech, and answering a query about its name, the lisping voice plainly utters, “Joseph W. Gott 4th.” And now’ my classmates, the prophecy is ended. There remaineth only the assurance that were the Seeress the arbiter rather than the prophetess of thy fortunes, there should be given unto each one the fullest possible measure of happiness and success, of grand and noble achievement and of enduring fame. “Tom Tuthill w’ould rather see a Trot(t) than a pace. TRUE SCHOOL SPIRIT. Of late years there has been a new force at work in the high schools. This force, inspiring every student to do work of greater excellence, has tended always to the advancement of the school. For the more their efforts are directed by this influence the higher will be the standard of work which the students are able to turn out. This force which has for its aim the intellectual and physical betterment of the students is true school spirit. It is generally conceded that those habits w’hich are founded in the begining of life are the ones that govern our after life to a great extent. This fact alone is sufficient reason why every student of the high schools should become imbued with and governed by true school spirit. For school spirit shines against and conquers one of the most sinful and miserable habits—selfishness. True school spirit might well be written self sacrifice. Because, the student whose habits and actions are directed by true school spirit will sacrifice all personal pleasure if by so doing he may bring honor and glory to his school. But these beneficial effects continue all through life. Public spirit is but a continuation of school spirit. Those w ho have done their best in school and sacrificed their own conveniences and pleasures for the sake of the school will become public spirited citizens of the type so much needed to-day if America is to remain a great and free nation. School spirit, however, has a more far reaching and enobling purpose than merely leading students to do good work in school and preparing them to become good citizens. School spirit readily develops into patriotism. Those wdiose minds and bodies have been developed under the animation of true school spirit w’ill never hesitate to risk their lives for their country. Should our great and prosperous country ever be forced to undergo the hardships of wrar the Alumni will be as loyal and willing to suffer from as great privations as did our renowned forefathers in the day that tried men's souls. In closing great praise should be given Mr. G. H. Baskerville for his untiring efforts while principal of this school. Mr. Baskerville, during the six years of his administration, did more to make school spirit a virtue of every student than had been done during the previous existence of the school. This was wisely accomplished by interesting the students in athletics. The true 8 THE PIONEER worth of school spirit, public spirit, and patriotism can never be realized for the greatest good, unless the mind from which they spring is helped by a strong body. Mr. M. C. Smith must also be commended for carrying on the patriotic and unswerving policy of his predecessor. W. Y. R., ’04. THE SHAKESPERE CLUB. During the winter of 1905 the Sliakespere Club held its meetings at the High School Building, that is, if nothing happened to prevent, such as sociables and the other numerous pleasures of this dissipated Goshen. “King Lear” and “The Twelfth Night” were read, also articles written by the different members, concerning the principal characters of these plays. At the last meeting sketches of songs were given and illustrations of the kind of song of Sliakespere'8 time, or contrasted with the songs of to-day. Financially the club was successful, having a surplus of five cents in the treasury. Jennie 8. Bassett. THE CLASS WILL. We, the class of 1905, of the Goshen High School, being of sound mind and memory, do declare this to be our last will and testament: As our farewell words to the Junior class, we bequeath the right to meet in the Physics Laboratory at the inconvenience of teachers, students and others concerned, and we hope that they will conduct these meetings with the same dignity as we, who have gone before them, have conducted ours. Also, we give the right to sit in the rear seats [without whispering] of the High School Room I, but with the injunction to “ Do as we say, not as we did.” To Mr. Thomas T. Tuthill, the honored president of the class, we ask a last favor, that he will train next year for the “ meet ” as well as he did this year and win so many medals that he will rescue the silver cup. We also give the advice not to play “roots” in his senior year for it does not agree with hard study. One day in the Junior year in company with the charming -------------------is sufficient. To Miss Edith A. Harrington, the most worthy treasurer, we grant the right to enter into an athletic career that she may become something harder than “ putty.” We assign the whole vacation from “thinking” [if she so desires]. We offer the advice that she should not exercise her “hard influence” over anyone next year. We say also that descending the H. 8. stairs in an informal manner is not “half bad,” as some of the Seniors enjoy the recreation and designate it “lapsus.” To Miss Margaret V. Cox, the secretary, we offer the place of musician, which office, in former years, she has filled so admirably, and as far as we are concerned to play “Ragtime” after 8:55 a. m„ and 1:25 p. in., if the Faculty only consent. We grant the right to have “dozens” of adopted brothers and write ONCK a week to a friend in Michigan, with a classical name, for instance, “Egbertus Santurus G.-----” To Miss Thresa A. Byrne, the “ basket ball devotee ” of the class, we say that it is not just the right thing to go in a class with no one but a “nice young fellow” for company, especially as they have to amuse each other for a time before “DerLehrer” appears We also say that a low musical laugh is a very agreeable characteristic but we are inclined to attribute it to “ coyness.” To Miss Bertha M. Borland, our “dear flower of modesty,” we have no advice to give unless it is to remove her finger from her mouth when thinking, for otherwise she seems to satisfy all. We bequeath our best wishes for a successful Senior year and a very happy future after. To Mr. Percy M. Ivory, we give the advice that he shall not let small things touch his heart so. You know, gentle hearted one, that some are not deserving of “girl friends ” Alas, we deem it worthy to tell you that it is cheaper to have one’s fortune told at the county fair [if you have the patience to wait] than to become involved in such a tangle, merely for the sake of a witty tongue, because even the local papers caught a drift of the affair. To Miss Mabel A. Knapp, the “ Lady Bountiful ” of the class, we think it would be better to store away her “decollect” toilettes and put on the guise of “Little Daisy” just for next year, for every one believes in the motto “ Work while you work and play while you play,” for after “'00” we grant the right to play as much as desirable. We, alas, say the sweet “stuff is detrimental to “leanness.” Also we give her consolation on account of being separated from her gentlemen friends and being put up in front with the girls. THE PIONEER 9 To Mr. Lewis C. Merritt, a most scholarly young man, we say it is not good to be late too often for it is not a promotor of good character. Most decidedly it “matters,” for the “esprit de corps” of the school is generully obtained at Chapel exercises. The class as a whole does not approve of so many courses for dinner as it inclines one to “lateness” and “inquisitiveness.” Last but by no means least, one of the class of “’05” intends to complete a book soon named “Questions on every topic in the Universe,” and the use of this book we grant to Mr. Merritt with the strict admonition “ not to bother the faculty any more.” To Miss Bertha R. Mills, our quiet one, we advise that it is not the best policy to remain silent too long for you must enjoy yourself during youth. We also commend her on her ability to master lessons, for as the honored President of the class of “'05” said, “Knowledge is Power.” To Miss Helen C. Trott, the sweet and most popular member of the class, we extend congratulations on her success in somk matters since she entered the Goshen High School. We give the advice that it is quite dangerous to look so “ sweet and pretty ” as to make the hearts of the opposite sex beat faster than ordinary. We caution you, dear one, for you know what become of the Princess in the fairy tale who tried to----. K. M. HAYES, “’05.” THE SCHOOL S LOSS. The close of the present school year brings to us not only the regret of leaving the place where we have labored so long, but it also brings to our minds what the school has lost by the resignation of our esteemed Principal, G. H. Baskerville, who for six years has so ably filled the position of superintendent of the schools of Goshen. While he was here the school not only kept its high standard as an institution of learning but has steadily improved. And in losing him all felt that it was a matter of personal regret, and while we rejoice in his promotion we feel that Goshen could ill afford to lose such a man. Great praise is due, however, to the succeeding Principal, Montgomery C. Smith, who has already won the respect and esteem of all, and all hope for continued success in his work here. F. H. P., ’05. HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY, This library is a very complete one of its kind. It is one of the best school libraries in the county. During the term of 1904-’05, 225 new books were added and previous terms there have been an average of 389 books added, making a total of 2,329 books in the library at the present time. These books may be drawn by any student in the school on Tuesday and Thursday nights after school. They are allowed the use of but one book at a time and are allowed to keep it two weeks. At the end of that time if it is not returned or renewed for another two weeks a fine of two cents a day is charged for every day it is kept out over time. The money thus obtained is used in buying new books. There were 591 books drawn during the term of 1904-,05 by the students. This is an average of 1C books per week. The books in this library consist of 827 books of Fiction, 30 books of Reports, 84 Reference books, 1G4 American Histories, 152 General Histories, 70 Ancient Histories, and the remainder are books of Art, Science, Pedagogy, American Biography and Text, number 1,002. There are two complete sets of Sir Walter Scott’s historical novels, a complete set of Louise Muhlbach’s works, a set of Cooper’s works, a set of George Clinton’s public papers, a complete set of Shakespeare’s plays, a set of McMastend’s History of the People of the United States, Laws of New York (5 vols), Riverside Natural History, a History of the American People by Woodrow Wilson, and the New International Encyclopaedia. Besides all these, there are several other encyclopaidas and many other complete sets of works by the well known writers. P. M. I., ’05. To all in the Knocker’s Club, greeting and gesundheit. Get together and hit hard, for the Devil loveth a cheerful knocker. Miss Jane Lemon was married several years ago to Mr. Ebenezer Sweet. After the announcement of their marriage in the paper the editor added this:— How happily extremes do meet In Jane and Ebenezer ; She’s no longer sour but sweet And he’s a Lemon squeezer. o CLASS CHARACTERISTICS.

THE PIONEER 12 THE PIONEER ATHLETICS. BASKET BALL. Among the events which caused excitement in Goshen during the winter 1904-’03 the girls’ basket ball games were paramount. The captain of the team deserves great credit for her leadership and management. No one knows but by experience the difficulties to be overcome in managing such an organization. The first game of the season was played with Newburgh Free Academy at Goshen, resulting in a victory for Goshen with a score of 22 to 0. Games with New Paltz proved defeats for the Goshen girls. This was not surprising as the New Paltz team was much heavier than the Goshen team. Two games played with Cornwall-on-Hudson were victories for the Goshen girls with scores 22-8 and 7-4. The first game played with the Phalanx Physical Culture Club of Newburgh, resulted in a score of 10-9 in favor of Newburgh, but on their home grounds the Goshen girls beat them, score 22-7. Two games played with St. John’s school resulted in Goshen High School getting scores of 39-1 and 19-0. The “ regulars ” and 44 subs ” played an exhibition game to fill the time until the Monroe boys’ team should arrive. The former won by a score of 19-5. On the ground that the Phalanx Physical Culture Club Team would not play a deciding game, and New Paltz is not in Orange County, the Goshen girls concluded that they were entit led to the championship of Orange County. The line up of the first team is as follows : Sara D. Sharts, captain, r. f.; Frances Strack, 1. f.; Ethel Slaughter, c.; Nina Gurney, r. g;. Amy Fair-child, 1. g. The Second Team : Teresa Byrne, first sub.; Flora Gilson, 2nd sub.; Helen Trott, Fannie Jackson, Hannah Hedges and Kathryn Ilayne. The officers of the Basket Ball Association are Sarah I). Sharts, Pres.; Jennie S. Bassett, Treas.; Amy Fairchild, Secretary; Miss Louise E. Cooley, Manager. The presentation of a gold-mounted fountain pen by the association to Mr. Baskerville made a fitting climax to the successful season. V., '05. The basket ball season was for the High School of Goshen a remarkably successful one. The basket ball team of 1904-1905 has created a name for itself which the schools with whom she played may long remember. The two games with Middletown High School resulted in easy victories for Goshen. The two games played with the Warwick Y. M. C. A. will probably be remembered at least by the players who were on that team. Two games were played with Newburgh Free Academy. One resulted in victory for Newburgh and the other was a victory for Goshen. The same was true of the games played with Monroe and New Paltz. But while we were defeated in three instances each team that had defeated us declined to play off the resulting tie on neutral ground. This team also defeated the 24th Separate Co., of Middle-town. On our own or on a standard sized floor the team was never defeated. Therefore we consider that the basket ball championship of Orange County belongs to Goshen High School. F. H. P., ’05. TENNIS. In the O. C. I. A. A. tennis tournament held at Middletown on June 10, ’05, Messrs. T. T. Tuthill and J. J. Landy were defeated in the doubles after a gallant struggle. Mr. Landy also was unable to wrest the honors in the singles from Mr. J. G. Ayres, of Port Jervis. TRACK TEAM. The track team was quite successful in the O. O. I. A. A. track meet held on the Goshen Driving Park, on May 30th, 1905. Out of eight men on the team, two men won 22 points which gave Goshen third place in the meet. BASEBALL TEAM. The baseball team of Goshen High School, ’05, has won the only two games it has played so far, both being with Warwick High School. We trust that the future two games will prove equally successful. —We notice that the 44 ’04 ” member hasn’t secured her earl yet. —Sadie Sharts, of 44’05” thinks basket ball and athletics a pretty big pill to swallow.

First and foremost, no matter what anyone says against her, be loyal to your school, and may no voice be heard louder in her praise than yours, for remember that what little you know was learned within her doors. Second, never fail to give your entire energy and support to all the interests of the school, both study, and outside interests. Third, be considerate of the faculty, for they are always ready and glad to do all they can to help you, and when they resort to stern measures, rest assured that it is only because you have worn their patience to the breaking point. Fourth and lastly, remember that whatever you say or do, is sure to be copied by the younger members of the school, for in the small boy’s and girl’s ideas, what a Senior can do, he or she can do too. So strive to make yourselves as nearly as possible, examples for what High School Seniors should be. Yours with love and best wishes, The Class of 1905. J. W. GOTT, 3rd, Pres. THE HISTORY OF GOSHEN HIGH SCHOOL. July 26, 1888, a Union Free School was established, and the following were elected as a board of education: William D. Van Vliet, president; Janies C. Coleman, Frederick W. Seward, Edwin Dikeman and Richard A. Kipp. In 1890 the school became crowded, and it was thought best to build a new building. This was done under the direction of the same board. April 15, 1892, this school was admitted into the University of the State of New York. The High School charter was obtained December 7, 1897. The High School was placed under the Department of Public Instruction November 12, 1900, and became an approved school for the purpose of receiving the State payment of non-resident tuition July 15, 1903. The first graduate of the school was M. Adele Schoonmaker, who received her diploma in 1892. After that year there has been one or more graduates each year except 1895. Some of the graduates have entered higher institutions, while others have considered their education finished.

The High School is a brick building of three stories, located a short distance from the county buildings. It faces a campus. At the back are many pretty trees and delightful nooks where dainty wild flowers grow. On the south side is a small ridge of rocks and on the north side Erie Street. To enter the school one must climb two flights of stairs, at the top of which is a small landing. On each side of this, stairs go up. At the top of u THE PIONEER these there is a second landing and another flight of stairs which leads to the third floor. Tiie rooms located at each side of the upper hall are used for the prepartory department, which is taught by Miss Kaiser, and the High School II, taught by Miss Baker. In these two rooms scholars receive their preliminary certificates. On the second floor, under the preparatory department, is the room used by High School I, in which the third year students, juniors and seniors, are seated. Miss Farrand has charge of this room. Across the half is a recitation room, which is under the supervision of Miss Bucklyn. The physics laboratory is entered through Miss Bucklyn's room. This is under the charge of Miss Cooley, who is also the music teacher and librarian. She has a desk in the office. This room is situated between the physics laboratory and High School I, and opens into both. The principal, Mr. Smith, has his desk there also. The library is kept in the office. It consists of books of Action, classical books and reference books. In the basement a small room has been prepared as a chemical laboratory. It opens into the furnace room. By the co-operation of teachers, scholars and principal, a series of entertainments has been given in the school, and with the money raised a few pictures and statues have been added to the decorations of the school. By the kindness of Mr. Joseph W. Gott a case containing a large number of mineral specimens has been added to the school possessions. For a few years the school has formed a Shakespere Club, which meets during the winter. Two basket ball teams have been organized and have each won many honors for the school. For three or more years the Interscholastic Athletic Meet has been held in Goshen under the management of Goshen High School. In these meets Goshen has won a few of the honors. CHARLOTTE C. GLOVER, 05. THE CLASS or 1905. I. In the annals of school history of good old G. H. S., The class of “ nineteen hundred five ” is thought the very best, The members of this famous class are good hard workers all. Some at lessons, some at mischief, some at basket ball. II. The first that I will speak of (perhaps you'll guess his name), Awoke one bright May morning to find that he had fame For his numerous flirtations, which he carries on with zeal, Succeeding in convincing every girl his love is real. III. A maiden fair came gaily up the hill that leads to school. Across the path a serpent lay, opposed to usual rule. “Gracious sakes !’’ exclaimed the maiden and her face grew very red, When she finally perceived that the frightful thing was dead. IV. Hurrying, hurrying, hurrying, some one comes up the hill, The member of our famous class who never can be still. She keeps the “Deacon hustling to keep up to her pace, For never for a minute is she in the selfsame place. V. One member of the class has a very serious manner, Excels in books and basket ball and throwing of the hammer. His business often calls him to the office thro' the day. And when he thence emerges, lias a care-free smile and gay. VI. A girl so very mischievous and sometimes very dense, Bribed a boy to visit “ Basker for a reward of five cents. And one day kept her spelling book to see what teacher'd do, And the “ lecture she received made her feelings very blue. THE PIONEER 15 VII. A member very modest, one day her 44 Virgil ” took, Which she had writ for “Basker,” and hid it in her books. She then rushed to the ’scmbly room, 44 Basker” followed after, Where she explained the situation amid spasmodic laughter. VIII. JUNIOR CLASS. 05. Colors Maroon and White. CLASS Bertha M. Borland, Theresa Byrnes, Margaret Cox, Edith Harrington, Percy M. Ivory, ROLL. Mabel Knapp, Lewis C. Merritt, Bertha Mills, Thomas T. Tuthill, Helen Trott. Some people call him sleepy, but it’s very hard to find A better baseball captain, who is very apt to 44 grind ; ” He’s first-rate in mathemetics, and very fond of punning, But never was so hurried as to cause him any running. IX. One 44 Miss” is very strenuous, and athletics are her forte. She often spends a week or two in New-------- (but not Newport!), She’s always in the middle of a large group of old maids, Recounting some adventure of her numerous escapades. X. The next thing I will speak of has the gift of conversation, Which she uses to advantage whene’er she has occasion. She’8 stars in mathematics and certainly delights In out-door sj ort8 as tennis, bicycling and flying “Kytes.” XI. Officers Thomas T. Tuthill, President; Edith A. Harrington, Treasurer; Percy M. Ivory, Secretary ; Lewis C. Merritt, Editor. The worthy President of the class will find that a knowledge of jiu jitsu does much toward preserving the normal color of the eyes and etc. A tape worm is about as much use as a snake. The class of ’05 will always be hazy. Unless one member of the class takes lessons in walking the Seniors may have to spend their last Penney and to pay for broken chairs, etc. Teacher. Now can you tell me why the Puritans came to this country ? J. L. They came to purify their blood. A Wandering Minstrel. 44A musician out of work, are you?” said the housekeeper. 44Well, you’ll find a few cords in the wood shed. Suppose you favor me with an obligato.” ‘‘Pardon the pronunciation, madam,” replied the bright tramp, 44 but Chopin is not popular with me.” Penney—What is electrical fruit? Gott—Currents. FROM THE CLASS OF 1906 TO THE WELL BELOVED CLASS OF 1905. Of myself the least said’s best. You may form your own opinion, You probably have by this time and like’s not it’s not a good one. My intentions, I beg to tell you, are really all right, •But perhaps we view affairs in a very different light. V., ’05. We, the Junior class of Goshen High School, who are about to become dignified Seniors, have watched the class of “’05,” and will try to excel even their good record. While it will be hard for us, or any class to excel the class of 44 ’05 ” in their high standard of recitations; still we think we might improve on the school spirit which they (as a class) have shown for the athletic sports connected with the school. We 16 THE PIONEER acknowledge that the girls of the class of 44 '05 have set a good example in the recitation rooms ; still we think it would have been proper for them to have set an example of school spirit to the younger girls, by turning out to the school's baseball games. Not a girl of the senior class (or any other class) came to the baseball game played at the Driving Park, Saturday, June 10. Wishing the class of 44 '05 great success, we remain, The Class of 44 '06. THOMAS T. TUTHILL, President. A GOOD DEFINITION OF A GENTLEMAN. A man that is clean, inside and out, who neither looks up to the rich nor down on the poor, who can lose without squealing, and who can win without bragging, who is considerate of women, children and old people, who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat, and who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs. SYNOPSIS OF SERMON. The following is a synopsis of the sermon to graduates by the Rev. Francis Stoddard Haines. Subject—44No Compromise:” It is impossible 44 to hold the scales even in a moral issue.” It must be either Yea or Nay; never Yea and Nay. There must be no compromise with conscience. The high ideals of life, that we have formed, must not be shattered by the hand of Compromise. In all our business relations there must be no room given to even a finger of this hand. Morality in the business world demands the exclusion of all compromise between right dealing and wrong dealing. So also in political life—in all public relations that affect the well being of the nation. Such men as Lincoln and McKinley and Roosevelt have been the champions of noblest devotion to right and to country; all three spurned compromises. Ex-President Andrew D. White of Cornell University is a man of the same stamp of character. Even in college days, at Yale, he decided that he would take his stand for right on the great political question of the day ; the introduction of slavery into the territories of the United States. Men not only but women have shown this same spirit of unwavering loyalty to the welfare of their country—when it was easy to make a compromise. Witness the devotion of Mrs. L. L. Rewalt to the Union, during the Civil War. As there is to be no compromise in a moral issue in commercial, and in political and public life— so there is to be none in regard to living a true Christian life. PERSONALS. —Joseph Gott, 44 '05,” seems to enjoy trolley rides occasionally. —The “Gibson Model” of 44’05” has changed her vocation to writing poetry, so the 44 '04 ” don’t know 44 everything.” —People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Moral : People that don't dress ‘‘swell ” shouldn’t criticise others. —It was noticed the other day at the studio that Laura DeGroot tried to captivate the photographer by dropping her eyes in a coy wav. —Frank Penney needn't think he is the whole ocean because he has a wave in his hair. —Katherine Hayes is using “Winslow’s” soothing syrup now-a-days. —Jennie Hassett believes in taking life easy [especially in school], —Motto for Florence Houston : 44 More Haste, less speed.” —John Landy—44 Hurrah for Ellenville, b-e-a-n-8.” FINIS.
