The sanitary advantage of finished floors over carpeted floors is becoming more and more apparent. Carpets are an abiding place for dirt, no matter with whnt care they are swept. You have only to look back to the last time you took up a carpet for house cleaning to acknowledge this, 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 aud 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. They were developed and are made by men who have made shears all their lives. Call and let us show you the WISS SHEAR. Perfection of workmanship and fiuish. Refrigerators THE EMPIRE.—The cheapest hardwood Refrigerator on the market; made of ash, nicely finished and ornamented. If you desire a good, low-priced, hardwood Refrigerator, this must interest you, because it will fill that demaud exactly. THE PURITAN.—Is a hardwood Refrigerator, solidly made throughout. Mineral wool lined, excellent cabinet work, and beautifully finished. We recommend it highly for its preserving qualities and its economical use of ice. With these advantages, and its low price, THE PURITAN will never fail to give thorough satisfaction.

Preface. IN again presenting to the public this rather small piece of literary accomplishment, we feel like saying what Oliver Goldsmith did. in reference to the Vicar of Wakefield, when it was about to be published for the first time: “ There are a hundred faults in this thing, and a hundred things might be said to prove them beauties, but it is needless. A book may be amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single absurdity.” We hope this to be the best of all the class papers, yet printed, in fact we believe it to be so, and hope the public will take the same view. The success of getting up a class paper, depends, of course, entirely upon the intellectual ability of the members who contribute to its make up, and as no one is ashamed of any member of ’06, so we feel the same about the result of our work. And now in closing, in behalf of the senior class allow me to thank all, whether business men, members of the Alumni, or outsiders, who have willingly and pleasantly, helped us in any way.

Memorial Day presents itself, as the greatest day in all the school calendar. ’Tis then, that he sees his big brother of Athletic Fame carry the favorite colors of his school to victory, and when he himself dreams of some day, achieving the same glory. To the athlete, himself, it means far more, for if he is able to receive an ovation from the hundreds of pretty girls present, he has indeed earned fame. And to the public in general, it means an afternoon of real pleasure, free from the worry of business, and other cares. Everything tends to add to the beauty of the scene, as one takes a seat in the spacious grandstand, and looks out upon a landscape, extremely picturesque. The perfect stretch of track, the neat and well kept grounds, and all of this shut in by that gem of emerald beauty—Slate Hill. The fine representation of the gentler sex. and finally the white-clad forms of the athletes themselves, running here and there. Goshen has never fared well in athletics, to use the expression. But it can be said without boasting, that could we have had the services of our efficient Captain, this year at any rate would have been a successful one. in the annals of Goshen High School Athletics. However, the three firsts that were secured by three members of our track team, are forerunners of better things next year. L. C. M. 4 THE PIONEER. Glumni Ctssociation.

A WORD TO THE ALUMNI FROM ONE OF ITS MEMBERS. AS the years pass I note the absence of many of the older Alumni from the annual reunions and banquets. This may be attributed to several reasons. It may be caused by business demanding their entire time and attention, by the duties and cares of the home, which cannot be set aside at pleasure, or by a long intervening distance, traversing which would consume considerable time and money. These conditions attending our every day life as they do, may seem difficult to overcome, yet a well timed effort combined, if necessary, with a certain amount of strategy or diplomacy would doubtless surmount the difficulty a large percentage of the time. The pleasure derived from the brief holiday would amply repay for the time and effort of obtaining it. It is to be hoped that these Alumni are not so completely absorbed in their various vocations that they have become indifferent to the welfare and prosperity of their Alma Mater, and that a personal appeal would not fail to arouse them to a sense of their neglect. It would be unwise and unjustifiable to accuse them of disloyalty for their apparent neglect, as it is due more to thoughtlessness, than to intentional disregard. Loyalty to one’s Alma Mater is a virtue that should become more and more prominent as the years pass and should never suffer from neglect. A striking example of the right sort of loyalty : can be seen at almost any Commencement of our universities or colleges. There will be found men : who graduated in ’54, ’56, or ’60, attending the annual reunion of their classes, and entering into the spirit of the occasion with as much ardor and enthusiasm, as their age will permit. They have not forgotten the old college in the fifty-odd years that have elapsed since they graduated. Their esteem and veneration for their Alma Mater is as great as the day upon which ' they proudly stepped forward to receive their | sheepskins,” and thereupon entered the ranks ! of the Alumni. Such loyalty as this is worthy of imitation, and should act as an inspiration for us. Age and time should but serve to deepen and strengthen our affections for our Alma Mater, to keep fresh in our memory the good old times we , experienced in the care-free days of our youth, and to cement the bond of fellowship between all classes. Let us hope that the future may always show increased attendance at the annual reunions, and that Loyalty may always be the watchword of the Alumni Association of Goshen High School. ’95 THE PIONEER. 5 GLASS PROPHEGY. THAT goodness, and excellence abound every. where, is a well known fact; that there is more than the usual amount in the class of '06, is a fact just as true, but perhaps not so well established in the minds of those outside of said class. However, time alone is needed to show their superior “Merritt.” Shall I with Edward Bellamy step forward a few years; and, looking backward, tell you the story of these times, only so far as they touch the lives of my classmates ? First the spires of large churches attract my eye ; and, as I become acquainted with the people of these churches, I find them better versed in the works of William Shakespeare, than perhaps in the Divine Word itself. And I know, even before they speak of their loved pastor, that here has labored our worthy President. Among authors, I next find a member of our class, authors too, whose books have stood the test of time. The appreciation shown fair Helen for her first efforts in essay writing, inspired her to hope, that she might do something greater in the literary line, and she has most admirably succeeded. Bertha, I find the loving center of a happy home. I am sorry I cannot reveal the name of the ‘' partner of her joys and sorrows,” it being a habit of mine to forget names as soon as I hear them. Doubtless however, the name has become familiar to you all, through the sons and daughters, who have been trained in this home to take their place in the world’s works. Everywhere in schools, colleges and even homes, I meet those who have received their earliest education, in the form of object lessons, block building, etc., from our sunny Laura, who did not disappoint us, but has followed the profession, which she left us to begin. The story of the hundred years is not lived, and arbitration has not yet accomplished its work, when I next catch a glimpse of our class. For I see a bloody battle field; and, in wandering through the hospital wards, it is not of the loving min- istrations of Florence Nightingale that I hear, but rather of our classmate’s, “Teresa.” All workers ? And what of “Mabel?’’ Society claims her. For one year she followed the advice given her by the class of ’05, but did not particularly enjoy doing so, and immediately upon leaving school resumed her former pleasures. Later I hear of her still in society, but as chaperone of her charming daughters. No longer are the daily papers filled with Standard Oil and Steel Trust scandals, yet we have our multi-millionares and conspicuous among them stands the name of “ Merritt.” Although his philantrophy has been unbounded with it, there is no question as to “tainted” money. During these years a change has been made in our text books as in everything else. The change that will interest us more than any other is that Milne’s is no longer the approved Mathematics, but in its place is Ivory’s. And was the class poem the last heard from its author? No, for his name has now become renowned, and few American homes would be considered complete, without at least one copy of Lyon’s poems. Is it at all strange that the writer rejoices that her name was once enrolled with the class of ’06 ? EDITH A. HARRINGTON. A PARODY. A Junior stood on the burning deck, And as far as he could learn, He stood in perfect safety. For he was too green to bum. In the Junior Class we find that one young lady is not satisfied with her name being Wood, but is much interested in a fellow who deals in wood. ♦------- Rumor has it that two '07 ladies have been viewing the sights from Slate Hill. Mar(king) (Leys)quise is more profitable than Potter(y). 6 DEAR OLD SGHOOL DAYS. THE PIONEER. (With apologies to Mr. S. Woodworth.) How dear to my heart are the scenes of my schooldays. When fond recollection presents them to view. The school-ground, the class-room, the finger-worn text books, And every loved friend that my school days then knew, The wide spreading stream, the tennis ground nigh it, The bridge without railing where children oft fell. The hill by the school-house, the old green well by it, And e’en the battered tin cup that hung by the well. The old happy school-days, the dear long past school-days, The sweet, carefree school-days that memory oft retells. B. B. TO THE GLASS OF ’07. (’06 about to perish salutes you !) THERE is an end to everything, and the solemn thought that our dear old class will meet no more, chills every heart. Although we’ve had our triads, now we know that we’ve passed our happiest days within these walls. Day after day we’ve assembled here—the associations which cluster round this place can never be forgotten, amd tearfully we part from the familiar scenes. We leave this dear old building to your care, you will fill our places, may you be more worthy than we have been. We regret that so many duties have been ill-performed, and it lies with you to succeed, wherein we have failed. The moment of parting has come, and as a last request we ask that we may not be forgotten. As a token of our sincere love we scatter among you all our richest possessions. THE WILL. We the class of '06 in full possession of a sound mind, about to leave this sphere, do declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any former wills made by us at any time. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates, and and our own strong wills to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows, namely:— To Mr. Wyker, who we admit, should appreci-ciate the honor of being President of such a large class of girls, we leave the opinion that it is dangerous to the success of his Senior Year to get such a swelled head as to have to leave school just before Exams. To dear Edith we bequeath our highest commendations on the good standard she has kept throughout her high school career, and hope that she will be as successful in her Senior year. Also a bottle of the concoction which Alice of Wonderland used to diminish her height. To La Petit Marie we leave a choice bit of seriousness, and hope that she will use it to advantage at the proper time and place. Also we bequeath her the “ merit” of the Senior class. To Mr. Brown we bequeath a crown of laurels for his brilliant achievements in his many studies, and the privilege of distinguishing himself and the school in the athletic sports of ’07. Also the power to resist all tempations that come to one holding such a responsible position as treasurer of a Class. To our popular Katheryne, we leave the Presidency of the Lambda Sigma of ’07, and hope that she will not find it necessary to shorten the programs in order to get home early (?) Also at her disposal an (M) organ for use at meetings, when the piano is disabled by excessive stuffing. To happy-go-lucky Margaret we leave a little colored waiter to take her place in school, when she is possessed with a sudden desire to take an afternoon constitutional, or a nature study on Slate Hill, Kipps Station, or elsewhere. Toquiet(?) Minnie J., we leave the advice that she be a model pupil next year, in order to make up for her short-comings in the past. Also the advice, to see that the occupants of certain seats are near enough together, that she need not act as note transmitter. To Mr. Smith we bequeath a Coat of Mail, in order that he may protect himself against the numerous and pretty girls in the class of ’07. We also deem him worthy of keeping up the good reputation the young men of the Senior Class have held in advanced mathematics. Class Colors, Maroon and White. Class Flower, “Rose.'’ Motto, “Esse Quam Vederi.' THE PIONEER. To sunny Blanche we give the warning, that it is detrimental to her school work to spend so much of her time and thought in Passaic. We know of nothing else that will be of use to her, but as she is a Potter, we will leave her the clay and she can mould her own destiny. And last but by no means least, comes our dimpled Jessie, to whom we leave the eternal love of the class in general, and of a certain portion in particular. This should be sufficient, as it is her one thought, and desire but we also leave her the advice that she put away snch things next year, and concentrate all her mind on her studies. We have hereunto subscribed our name, and affixed our seal this eighth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nineteen hundred and six. CLASS OF '06. Anna A. Fanand, ] Witnesses.

Berg, ) HELEN C. TROTT. THE FIRST ANNUAL PRIZE SPEAKING GONTEST OF THE GOSHEN HIGH SCHOOL. I HE First Annual Prize Speaking Contest of the Goshen High School took place at Music Hall, Friday Evening, May 11, 1906. The contestants were Edith A. Harrington, Katheryne Hayne, Helen Trott, Teresa Byrne, Marie A. Parker, Percy Ivory, Lewis C. Merritt, Thomas T. Tuthill and Murry Lyon. Each delivered his or her piece in such a pleas- ! ing manner that it was a difficult task for the ] judges to decide who deserved the prizes, al- j though there was no doubt in the minds of the people that Miss Marie A. Parker and Thomas T. j Tuthill justly received the first prizes, as they both J have a natural gift for elocution. Miss Teresa Byrne and Lewis Merritt received the second prizes. 7 The prizes were presented by Mr. William H. Wyker, Esq., who made a very appropriate presentation speech. During the evening the Girls’ Choral Club and the High School Girls’ Quartette rendered several vocal selections. While the audience was waiting for the decision of the judges, Miss Julia Reid played a violin solo. MABEL A. KNAPP. CHARGE TO THE JUNIORS. DEAR JUNIORS You are now left our dignified positions as Seniors of dear old Goshen High School. Remember that the younger scholars follow to a great degree the example set by the older ones. Try to do credit to your school and your class by setting the under classes an example of studiousness, obedience and honor. The necessity of obedience to your teachers cannot be too strongly impressed upon you. You will doubtless recall these words of the Centurion to Christ: “ I also am a man set under authority having soldiers under me.’’ Learn from this, that those who wish to be great and command others, must first learn how to obey, that they will know the better how to command. You are now building the foundation, which must bear you all your life. If you wish to attain success, you must make your foundation strong, now while you have the chance. You may think there is lots of time ; but there is not! Build your foundation now and build it strong. Trusting that you will hold up the honor and dignity of our school, we remain THE CLASS OF ’06, Thomas T. Tuthill, Pres. Pauline Foote thinks it quite nice that the High School is on the extreme end of the street for a morning ride with pleasant company is just the thing. _______ Fanny Jackson has a great desire to live on a Marsh. 00 CLASS CHARACTERISTICS.

A valley fair, between sev’n hills, Man’s eye could wish no more, They settled there, ’mid woodland rills. Their trials, they thought, were o’er. III. Modern Jasons, now they seem, Having crossed the deep, blue ocean, This land of joy, of joys the cream, They named our dear old Goshen. IV. They grew a noble, sturdy race, The truest ’neath the sky.

A few years passed, along came Tess, A blushing pig-tailed maid, At first quite shy, but by and by. Beloved by all in her grade. IX.

THE PIONEER. 11 ATHLETIC SPORTS, SEASON OF 1905-1906, GOSHEN HIGH SGHOOL. THE Season of 1905-1906 was one of the most successful in the history of Goshen High School from an athletic point of view when the fact is taken into consideration that at the beginning of the term it was without any trained athletes with the exception of the Captain. After a short practice the season opened with a basket ball game with the Walton High School team which was without question one of the strongest teams i which ever visited this section. The home team | was defeated by the very narrow margin of one j point. The second game was with Tuxedo and the G. H. S. boys won very easily. Since the season started they have defeated in addition to the above team the following: Cornwall High School, two games; St John’s Club of this village, one game. Aside from the Walton team the only other team which was successful in taking their measure was Middletown High School, who defeated them twice, but it was very evident that as the season progressed they improved, as they de- 1 feated the Monroe Athletic Club at Monroe. The Monroe team winning two out of three games from the Middletown High School team and refusing to tackle the Goshen High School boys the second time. The next athletic event was on Memorial Day when with but five starters three first prizes were won, the winners being boys who had never faced the starter in any previous athletic event, the successful contestants being Daniel Carpenter, who won the half mile bicycle race in a field of nine starters ; John Luft, who won the 12 lb. hammer throw, and Lewis Merritt who won the running broad jump. The winning of the above events was rather a surprise to the other schools as the names of Merritt, Luft and Carpenter were not as familiar to them as were some of the others who had been contestants for a number of years. The basket ball team was made up as follows: Duryea, Ivory, Morgan, Landy, Lyon, Terwilliger and Tuthill. JUNIOR GLASS, ’06 Colors, Green and Gold. Flower, Yellow Rose.

But if he only knew what Art she is interested in behind her, he could easily answer the question. Mabel Knapp thinks that after her school days are over she will take up the study of birds but she will spend most of her time on the Hawk(ins). The pen and ink sketches illustrating “The Pioneer” were made by Miss Helen C. Trott. Well done, weren’t they, reader ? Marie Parker has made her decision that she prefers Wal lace to Dutchess lace. 12 THE PIONEER. PERSONALS. —Helen Trott is not averse to live in the encircling (Tut)hills of Goshen. —The Florida fellow that Bertha Borland thinks so well of, is looking for some one to weed onions. Percy Ivory: “What is your favorite flower?’’ Edith Harrington: The dandelion (dandy Lyon). —Lewis Merritt thinks a Trott better than a pace. —Augustus Wallace: “What is your favorite soap ?’’ Mabel Knapp: “Ivory, of course.” —Tom Tuthill is very fond of the part of the Bible that tells about Adam(s). —Those evening walks with the (Ice)Berg have frozen Percy Ivory. —Katheryne Hayne may be a Morgan some day, but not a J. P. After spending six months in an advanced school, Florence Houston returned to old G. H. S. to gain Mer(r)it(t). —Miss Farrand and Professor Smith should not have interrupted that little private tete-tete in the office the other day for showing affection is only forbidden in the halls. GRINDS. Teresa Byrne is very anxious to start a basketball team instead of a Hip Hip Hurrah Club, and we elect Mabel Knapp as a member. The class of ’06 can boast of having Mills without an owner. The young ladies of the class of '07 are of the | opinion that early morning walks are an aid to I beauty. Tom Tuthill says the only reason why he goes ! to the cosy comer the 3rd period in the morning is simply for the Trott. Art. Duryea has resigned his position as leader of Coxie’s army because he thinks one out of the army quite enough to manage. Percy Ivory feels very lonely during these warm days because the time has now come when the ice-Berg must depart. The members of the class of '06 notice that Bertha Borland takes an occasional visit to Florida. Harry Morgan’s little gift tied with the favorite color ribbon of the donor should be carefully kept for future use. It has been noticed that Fanny Jackson has a great love for Marsh (mellows). The president of the class of ’06 says he would rather come to school with a Stocken on his arm than wearing one on his lower limb. Although Edith is strong she might be stronger.
