THE PIONEER Goshen High School, Goshen, P V. Y„ June, Nineteen Hundred and Eleven Mitor-in-Chief. PAI L R. SCIIRIVER Aiwistants. IIARRIKTTK K. IIOI STON. Rl'TH THOMPSON Gentlemen may cry, “Peace, peace”— but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take—but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! —Patrick Henry. PREFACE In a game of base ball, the seventh inning is considered the lucky and winning inning. As this is the seventh edition of the Pioneer, we have attempted to make it a winner. We have been aided in this purpose by the good will of the advertisers and we desire that the advertisements shall be reread and then the reader profit by the reading. We here extend our deep felt thanks to those advertisers who have made the paper possible and worth while. In this edition will be found an account of the speaking contests, athletics, base ball, and a description of the new High School. We regret that the D. A. R. essays will not appear in this issue. We have done our best for a winning paper and our success will be measured by the reception it receives by the publie. Editor.

Flower—American Beautv Rose Class Poem The first, president of the class, Harriette, a winsome lass, I single out, the first of all Because she is so very tall? Margretta, our vice-president, In lessons ne’er is hesitant, But now she passes all by far, When trying to run a motor car. Ruth, who is never, never cross (?), In treasure house she is the “boss;” Her other task, assistant editor, In horsemanship she has no competitor. Our secretary, Bertha S., She has all skinned, you must confess, In English History, she can tell Of George—his last name—I can’t tell. Paul, the editor not slow, Came from Chester-town, just so, He’d enjoy the greatest bliss In this class, when all is “Miss.” Mae C. loves to take long trips, To Walden fondly oft’ she skips; Oh! how she delights to carry Her sweetest words and looks to Harry. Elma, in laughter decreased, Since she longs for somebody down East, (mans). Now Jane, leader of fashion in hats, Seems to indulge in some good anti-fats. Molly, with sun-setty hair, At ball games, she’s always “there,” Then Emmy, the youngest of all, Enjoys every Saturday call? The last but not least, is Adele. She’s true from beginning to end, And we hope that always we may Have Adele Witt as our friend. X, ’ll.
