THE PIONEER Goshen High School, Goshen, N. Y., June, Nineteen Hundred and Ten Editor-In-Chief, EVERETT M. VINCENT Assistants, E. HAROLD PARKER, JOHN M. WELSH The Way to Better Things rT-,HE law of worthy life is - • fundamentally the law of strife. It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.— Theodore Roosevelt. TO most of us, this is our last year in Goshen High School, and we should feel sorry indeed to go from here without some record of the many happy and profitable events of our last school year. Sometime, in after years, if we are discouraged or alone, a glance over these pages, and the memory of these days, may cast a ray of cheer into our hearts and cause us to take a happier view of life. Among the articles in our columns will be found the programs of the prize speaking contests, the D. A. R. prize winning essays, an account of the athletics, and many other events that have made our school life happy during the past year, and, something that will surely make life more pleasant for the classes following us, a description of the new High School. The reader’s attention is called to the advertisements in our paper, and we wish to extend our heartiest thanks to those people who have made THE PIONEER possible. We would also advise our readers not to read between the lines, for there is nothing to be found there, and ask them not to criticise too harshly, remembering that this is our first attempt. Editor.

Class Poem E-very one knows our illustrious Harold, H-is fondness for (Ab)rams P-erhaps has been caroled. E-lse why should I sing of our worthy vice-president, M-ost distractedly fond of a pretty non-resident, V-ery noisy, that’s evident. J-ust notice our athlete and also our speaker, M-ight argue a Campbell Hall ball game W-ithout getting weaker? E-specially studious, but why let us parley, R-ogat bene, if the tariffs on barley, F-lirtatious creatures have nothing on Farley. H-istory, I’ll admit, makes Hermine dizzy, M-aybe sorting her mail don’t K-eep Mr. Smith busy. M-ary’s favorite dish is plain to be seen, B-efore you have heard it, you’ll guess, M-aybe (Welsh) rarebit or Ackley’s ice cream. A-n absolutely minus quantity, B-ecause its worse than monotony, Lest this ? ? ? sounds “ rotteny. A. B. L., ’10. Class History IN January, 1909, when the famous class of '10 first began to be heard from, it was made up of eleven members, and chose the following as officers: E. Harold Parker, President; Everett M. Vincent, Vice-President; E. Reynolds Farley, Secretary and Treasurer. We passed through the annual storm of regents’ examination and when we came together in 1910 we found that all had survived but four, who evidently thought that the junior class needed a few more young ladies. The officers of the junior class were re-elected, and we stuck to our class colors and flower, the Green and Gold, and the Buttercup. We chose “Truth as our motto. On being told that I was to write the class history, all that I had to do was to consult a copy of “Lives of Illustratious Men and Women, together with a few magazine articles, and was able to find these facts. I Harold Parker entered the 1 st grade of the Noah Webster school, and after a short absence, during which he studied in Miss Gedney’s private school, he returned to the Noah Webster. From then on he has worked his way upward until he has reached the dignified position of president of his class. Everett Vincent came to us from Tonawanda IH. S., evidently attracted by the far reaching name of Goshen H. S. John Welsh, our orator and athelete, was at one time a student in Matamoras H. S. Coming from there he entered the seventh grade in the Goshen public schools. Alice Lewis, a graduate from New Durham, N. J., entered our High School in January, 1907.
