MARSH Vi).H Co (Dur WE, the class of 1907, of Goshen High School, do hereby endeavor to follow, in at least one particular, the noble example of the class of 1906, viz.: that we publish yet another edition of The Pioneer. In this magazine, so dear to us because it is the result of our own exertions, we have attempted to give you an idea of what has taken place within the domain of the school during the year just passed. As you smile at this effort, remember that it is the result of hard work on our part, and be lenient with your criticisms. In other words, temper justice with mercy. 5rienbs. The editor of this paper wishes to express the deepest gratitude for the aid he has received in the shape of suggestions from members of the class. He also appreciates the willingness with which others have contributed articles, and have given their services to help make The Pioneer a success. Thanking, too. our instructors for having been such true friends to us, and our readers for taking such a kindly interest in us, we are encouraged to put forth the best foot first, and, in the words of our motto, we will “ Try, Trust and Triumph.’’ —Editor.

The boy who is not a graduate may be just as bright as the one who is ; his powers of percep-fion may be just as keen ; his business abilities just as pronounced ; but when it comes to ‘ ‘ delivering I the goods.” popularly speaking, he will find he is
