For you're going to hear something that’ll wake up your crown. The class of Nineteen Twelve is about to depart Into this great world, but before they do start, Just draw up your chairs and all be prepared. For you’ll hear something now that you’ve ne’er before heard. The first on the programme is the class “ Prexy, of course. Tho to keep him in view, better go-get-a-horse, For he’s busy from dawn until twilight and then You’re not perfectly sure of finding him in. If you want a President, who knows how to shine. Have him follow the example of Herr Marsh every time. Don’t give dear little Charlotte a pitiful glance, For there’s someone far abler, if but given the chance. Just keep your eyes open and then you will see The prize she’ll win at Syracuse Varsity. SHE will not give you one wee chance to sigh. She has the Ninteen-twelve spirit from old Goshen High. Let me see who is next—Oh! now I remember. It’s the one that we chose for our big class ed(i)tor. He’ s mighty essential you’ll agree my dears, When you learn that he made this the best of Pioneers. He’s a SHY LITTLE boy, never (?) looks at the girls, ’Cause upon his own head he can find pretty curls. Of Evaleen Hartman perhaps you do not know, Thus “ live and learn ’’ is a maxim you should follow. If you want a girl who can open your eyes. Now is the time for you to look wise, And notice Miss Hartman, who writes themes that you Won't be able to do when you’re a hundred and two. Augustus R. Lippert is our happy young man. Who is perfectly sure that he never ran, When for the 43rd time Aimes quickly said, “ Your excused, Mr. Lippert 1 as yet have not read. Get you out of this room, and stay out 'till you Can remember the cause for this ’scuse which is due. The fairest and plumpest young girl of the class Is Miss Helen Wallace, for whom you must dash. If you expect to get within her estimation. For even with Earls she has had a flirtation. She’s a mighty nice girl, I’m sure you’ll agree, Though there are many others who'll tell you the same besides me. Orlando M. Smith is the most talkative boy Of the nineteen-twelve class, the faculty’s joy. When they are tired out and want the bell to ring, Pete can take their place and do the questioning. To keep up to him, take my advice of course. You’d better step lively and eat lots of “Force. From down Campbell Hall, comes a mighty nice Miss, Whom many will tell you is just right to —, On that Montgomery Branch, she saunters up every day, To study about Virgil, William Tell and H. Clay. 'Tis noticed at school they are not all that she reads. (The Free Library was enlarged, to supply all her needs.) THE PIONEER II Anna's the Strongest girl of the class, Very lovely and sweet, a truly nice lass. By the way, Middletowners make things seem to jingle. We had better look out or we won’t have her single. For there’s also Cornell, we must look for ’10, Who has been glancing her way every now and then. If you’d learn how to dance, Isabelle is the one Who can show you a few things that you ve never done. She’s a very bright girl, knows things by the peck. Is full of good humor from her heels to her neck. Had lessons in Dur-land, Goshen and Port Jervis, And if she cared, could make you look positively nervous. If on a Saturday, Ralph Earle you d find, I'll tell you right now, you’ll have quite a grind. You’ll need your dime, for the car you must take, A trip to Middletown you surely must make. There’s a big attraction up there, you know! For remember when you were once somebody’s beau. In January a boy named Billie B. Rode up from Monroe and said he d like to be A senior up here, (“of his smiles girls—beware! For undoubtedly he has a steady back there.”) We welconed him in, long with dear Hattie Bush, Who adds considerably to our noted push. The very last member is rather busy just now. So we'll give her the background, where she belongs anyhow. She’s mighty proud to be called a “soror’ of the class. And I imagine that you’d like the place of that lass. You may draw back your chairs, but poor things as you delve, Don’t feel too sad, envying that class of nineteen Lewis—How can you prove that you got four hits in the game? Pete—Why I saw it in the rule book. Class History MORE than a year has passed since our class first met as Juniors. There were eighteen of us then. In September one or two of our members left school, but since then the number has been replenished and we are the largest class to graduate from the Goshen High School. Our worthy president, Willis Marsh, started his career as a member of the Goshen High School in the eighth grade, having previously attended the Chester High School. He has worked faithfully and well deserves the title which he holds. Our frivolous little vice-president, Dorothy Parker (do you suppose that she will ever stop her whispering ? ? ?) began in the very first grade and has diligently worked her way up until now she is a member of this most dignified organization. She has brought renown to her class by being the winner of the D. A. R. essay prize. Now we come to the Secretary, Charlotte Schriver. That most consoling, little person, whom they say is a Minister’s daughter ? ? ? (My but how her “ Pony ’’ can trot.) She came to Goshen from the Chester High School and entered in the eighth grade. Raph Earle is purely a product of the Goshen Public Schools, and has won much fame by being Manager of that “ notorious ’’ baseball team. Isabel Borland, a member of the original company of “Never Homes, entered the seventh grade, having received her first schooling at the “ Gate School House. Last year she entered the Port Jervis Teachers’ Training Class, but in September returned to the G. H. S. again. Orlando Smith, alias “ Windy,” who supplies all the noise for the class, began school in the fourth grade, having previously lived in Chester. What an undesirable place Chester must be, for here is another one of our members from there, William Bacon, who entered High School this year, so we know very little of his past history. Anna Strong entered the seventh grade, having acquired five years’ schooling at the “Gate School House. 12 THE PIONEER Myrtle McMunn came to the High School four years ago. And has traveled back and fourth every day between Campbell Hall and Goshen on that delightful Montgomery Branch. Augustus Lippert started in the very first grade and after a great deal of hard toil is also a member of our class. I will not under take to write THE ENTIRE HISTORY of our ambitious editor, for I have neither time nor space. He began in the first grade. In 1909 he went to Hudson and remained there a year and returned to the G. H. S. In 1910 he entered the Junior Class. Evaleen Hartman, the most studious member of our class, started in the first grade and is now completing her course. Now as our happy school days are dawing to a close and as we turn our faces to the future, may we remember our motto and “ What we do, let us do well. H. W..'12. Graduation and Graduate GRADUATING has become a great institution. Exercises are held in the larger schools for advancement from the grammar school into the high school or academic department Then, as from our own school, we graduate pupils from the academic department. From here the pupil goes, perchance, to a preparatory school—another graduation exercise. At last the University commencement awards the “ sheepskin.” Man is truly a social being. He wishes everyone to share his good fortune and condone his misfortunes. He wants everyone to know about himself and his doings (when they are commendable). When you graduate you prepare your essay—send out invitations to all your relatives, kin, near of kin, friends and aquaintances. There is much decorating of school, hall and church. There is the Reception, Class Day, Baccalaureate Sermon, Alumni Banquet, Commencement, etc. On each occasion advice. On some occasions speeches and congratulations and advice. Again speeches, bouquets and ad- vice. Then some more advice. ( Even now the writer is in a small way going to offer you advice). But do not get bored and say you’ve had enough advice; for the older you get and the more you learn, the more you will appreciate advice, until finally you will seek it. But the funniest part of this advice business is that you will not heed it unless it coincides with your own plans—then if you succeed—they were your plans anyway—and if you fail it was the fault of the party offering the advice. After all this graduating and re-graduating comes the stern business of life, viz: earning a living. Your mind has been trained by Latin, Algebra, Geometry and other subjects that apparently are of no use to one who does not expect to enter a profession, so your earning capacity has been enlarged even though you do not realize it. When you have gone out into life—then what “you are counts. If you can make good there are a host of positions awaiting you. If you can “hit the ball” in the game of life—the managers of many teams will want you to sign with them. If you are a “quitter” no one wants you. You hate a “quitter,” I hate one. So we say to the graduate, “Go in and win ! Its up to you. Make the most of your opportunities. Fortunately the old saying Opportunity knocks once at every man’s door’ is entirely false. Arise each time with new courage and opportunity will find you out, even though you may have missed his forelock once, twice, or many times. Go in and win ! ’’ O. A. M., ’07. School Proverbs Give unto others the German sentences that you would have them give unto you, for it is more learned to give than to receive. Loaf, and the school loafs with you; study, and you grind alone. A fish in the hand is worth two in the brook; likewise, a word in the head is worth two in the book. 14 THE PIONEER Junior CHarge DEAR JUNIORS: THE time has come when we must sorrowfully bid farewell to the well beloved wadis of the new high school and our school-mates. Although we have not been in the new school for very long, we have learned to love it, as well if not better than the old. Many are the good times we have had together in its familiar halls, but sad to say, they shall be no more. When in this world which we are to inspire, two friends part, the older and wiser gives advice to his younger and more foolish brother. For this reason we consider it our duty to give you a little insight to the success we have had, hoping that you may heed our words and thereby gain some much needed assistance. The message of the most illustrious Senior Class to the straggling Junior Class is this. You have long had our example to follow—you have seen with what success our battles have been won. We have had to rely on ourselves as you will have to rely on yourselves. Dear Juniors remember this—self reliance is the greatest asset for you to have in your school life. You have been accustomed to have the Senior Class coach you in your lessons, which is all very well; you are young and weak and need help. Thus, when you become Seniors, aid by fair means, your weaker, younger schoolmates. Try also while doing this, to have them realize that independence is the only thing, and that too much use of the “ beaten path ” is liable to weaken them beyond repair for regents’ week. If you practice this which we like you to preach, your path through life also will not seem so hard and rough. It is now your turn to set the example for school patriotism. Instill in the hearts of the younger set a greater school spirit. You can see for yourselves what we have done. In what class of Goshen High has there been found such school spirit? Remember, too, that school patriotism is not only rooting for the ball team but also standing by the faculty. Strive to keep a high standard in class work. 1 hat is one great thing you should try to obtain. A splendid era started at the opening of the new building. As a whole the averages of the students were raised. It is plain to be seen that they were inspired to higher marks by our class, the greatest in quality and quantity that has ever graduated from Goshen High. Let us hope that the pace set by us will be continued and increased by our successors. Always strive to eclipse those befoie you. Thus and thus only can you attain to your ideals. Here endeth the farewell advice of the class of 1912. W. G. M. Senior Class Dance ON December 27th, 191 I, occurred the social event of the year—the Seniors of 1912 held their “ Prom.” The “ elite ” of Goshen and vicinity were there to celebrate with the class, the holiday season. It was a success beyond words. The seven piece orchestra made the dancing delightful, and for those who were not so fond of “ tripping the light fantastic toe ”—there were the charming patronesses ever ready to while away an impossible dull moment. The new auditorium was a wonderful sight with it's appropriate decorations, glittering lights and attractive people. The corridor or “ promenade was a joy to those accustomed to spending their “ between dances ” in a ballroom— thus giving an enjoyable change. Refreshments were served at the usual hour, and the expression given by one of the people there, describes very well the feelings of the majority. In the words of that person they were termed “ the best eats I ever had at a dance.” The efforts of the class and their friends were repaid a hundred fold by the splendid success of the dance. Congratulations were given to the Seniors for being the first class of Goshen High to ever give a “ Prom. May the Seniors who follow live up to the precedent furnished them by the Class of 1912. THE PIONEER 15 Senior Class Play NO one, on the evening of December 1, 1911, could honestly say that Goshen was a “ dead town.” You ask why ? Because on that night the Senior Class of 1912 gave their comedy, “Mr. Bob, in the High School Auditorium; and all the good townspeople of this village cast aside all other affairs, and came out to see one of the most enjoyable dramatic entertainments given in Goshen in a long time. Nor were the anticipations of this large audience which gathered to witness the first appearance of the members of this class in dramatic work disappointed. The play itself is a clever bit of comedy, hinging on the very unusual fondness of a benevolent spinster for stray cats, and the troubles that a rather modest young law-clerk experiences in establishing his identity. The courtship of the maid and the English butler, and the troubles which the yachtsman has in finding out just who “ Mr. Bob really is, add greatly to its interest. The rehearsals were under the directions of Miss Ames, one of the High School teachers, and the young actors rendered their parts in a manner that was highly creditable to their instructress. The stage settings were arranged by Mr. John J. Lee. After the play the class and its friends enjoyed dancing until a late hour. The cast was as follows: Phillip Royson, fond of sailing - Sayer Seely Robert Brown, a Law-Clerk - Donald Parker Jenkins, of noble lineage - Kenneth Sinsabaugh Miss Rebecca Luke, with a fondness for cats Helen Wallace Katherine, her niece - - Charlotte Schriver Marian Bryant, also fond of sailing - Molly Foster Patty, with dramatic aspirations - Dorothy Parker E. H„’12. If a certain Teacher would explain how scholars can look at the back of their heads the scholars would be duly thankful. “ Look it up in your grammar —Miss Bunn s favorite expression. The Truth About the Juniors Most Amusing—All children are. Softest Heart—Henry Coleman. Most Bashful—Clara Durland. Worst Bluffer—Their President. A Perfect Lady—Leslie Ryerson. The Greasy Grind—Clara Sutherland. The Faculty Pet—Charles Lynch. Silliest—They all are. Most Dramatic—Agnes Alton. Most Attractive—“ She ” hasn’t come to the Jr. class yet. “ Beautiful Eyes —Oh, Bessie’s bewitching ones of course. Jolliest—Charles Coleman. Most Serviceable—Kenneth Sinsabaugh. Biggest Grafter—Russel Rutan. Greatest Whisperers—Their officers. Most Oratorical—Marion Borland. Best Singer—Philena Young (?) Most Lonesome—They all act it. Class Flirt—Maude Schoonmaker. The Simple Life for Him—Ray McCormack. Most Pious—“ Abe ’’ Clark. “The Light-Weight”—Reid Moser. Most Hilarious—Eva Galloway. Eloping Up-to-date The coatless man puts a careless arm 'Round the waist of the hatless girl. While over the dustless, mudless roads In a horseless wagon they whirl Like a leadless bullet from hammerless gun. By smokeless powder driven, They fly to taste the speechless joys By endless union given. The only luncheon his coinless purse Affords to them the means Is a tasteless meal of boneless cod, With a dish of stringless beans. He smokes his old tobaccoless pipe And laughs a mirthless laugh When papa tries to coax her back By wireless telegraph. —Motor Record. 16 THE PIONEER Class Will E, the Class of 1912, in full possession of a sound mind and memory, about to depart this sphere, do declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any former wills made by us at any time. To Philena Young, the honored headlight of the Junior Class, we do bequeath a snapshot of the Orange County Golf Links to paste in her memory book, together with a book of Improved Parlimentary Rules which she may use in her obedient (?) class. To Charles Lynch, her side-partner, we take great pleasure in leaving a prescription, by the use of which he can prepare an antidote for his bashfulness. We are in hopes that this prescription will remedy his symptoms and thereby make many girls happy. To Maude Schoonmaker, the greatest giggler of the class, the hope that her howls (Howell) will not be so bothersome next year. To Kenneth Sinsabaugh, the busiest Treasurer known, a wheelbarrow to assist him in transporting the class funds to the bank. Also a pair of magnifying glasses to enable him to keep track of his speedometer. To Clara Sutherland we leave the charge of the smallest member of her class and the advice that next year she spend less time in talking to her friends across the aisle. To the “late” Clara Durland we would say “Beware of all creeping things in the back of your neck and all creatures with long legs and arms.” To Marion Borland the right to erect a wire netting in front of her seat to make him “stop,” in addition a course in proper perambulation. To Charles Coleman the maxim “ Look forward and not backward and the hope that he may fix a date with Warwick (which ?). To Reid Moser, the most delicate member of the class, two dozen packages of Beech-Nut chewing gum and a dozen automobles to amuse himself with. To Eva Galloway three bottles of “Nervine to enable her to play the piano in chapel. To Abram Clark one dozen pencils and a Physics answer book that he may not take up all Miss Mould’s time. To troublesome (?) Ray McCormack a photograph to comfort him when she goes west, also the privilege of sitting with the girls (tho he has taken advantage of it before). To Agnes Alton thirty-five meal tickets at Mrs. Dopp’s, also to be careful of that smile. To Leslie Ryerson, the chaplain of the class, we give the privilege of talking unceasingly, with the caution to be careful at first, for too sudden use of the jaw might prove fatal. To Elizabeth McGuire, alias Bessie, someone to keep her company when waiting for the train. To little Hen Coleman a can of horseradish to be used at Senior meeting, also the greatest success and best wishes from the class of 1912 for the athletic meet. To Russell Rutan the remainder of our goods and chatties to be used by him with the greatest discretion. We hope that the sudden care of this wealth and property will not endanger his life or overburden his mind. We have hereunto subscribed our name, and affixed our seal this thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twelve. SENIOR CLASS OF 1912. In witness wherof: T. R.

USHER I fKAT ANpHg ArwELVVAS A AU 18 THE PIONEER BHSKET-BHLL SPEHCER HORTOH MAma xr JOE LEWIS cat ta in ON September 21 st, 1911, a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, and it resulted in the re-election of Joe Lewis, as Captain ; Spencer Horton, as Manager, and Ralph Earle, as Treasurer. At this time a call for candidates was also issued, and about eighteen answered the call. The first serious problem that confronted the team was, where they could secure a place to practice. Through the kindness of the Rev. Chas. Murphy, the goals from Garr Hall were borrowed and placed in the school yard, where practice was held every day, but not the kind of practice that a winning team should have, and it was with some difficulty that the Music Hall was rented. The season opened up on November I 7th by the team’s being accompanied to Florida by the largest crowd of “ rooters, lady friends and teachers that ever went out of town with the basketball team. The game opened up by Joe Lewis caging the ball for Goshen in the first few minutes of the game. Although Florida had the better team, the High School team managed to hold them down in the first half to a score of I 7 to II in favor of Florida. Florida became the victors by the score of 32 to 14. Dancing was enjoyed by all after the game until a late hour. On Thanksgiving night the team from Warwick High School met on our court and was greeted by the largest crowd that ever attended a basketball game in the history of the high school. About 1 10 couples enjoyed the excellent dance after the game. Warwick had the better of the local team all thru the game. The High School team did not secure a single field goal. The final score was 33 to 6 in favor of Warwick. The next game was played at Goshen on December 9th, when the Florida A. C. played a return game at the Music Hall. The first half was fast and exciting, the score at the half being 19 to 14 in favor of the visitors. The game ended by Florida winning to the score of 36 to 23. The next game was played on December 22nd, when the “ Five from the Monticello High School met on our court. The first half the score stood 19 to 11 in favor of Monticello. The game ended in a victory for the visitors by the score of 44 to 24. The last game of the season was played at Warwick on December 26th. When the game started off it looked as if it were Goshen’s game. The score at the end of the first half was 20 to 24 in favor of Warwick. In the last half of the game Warwick took the advantage of the lightness of our team and “literally” wiped the floor with our men, finishing 64-28. (Continued on page 20) THE PIONEER 19 WISE BALL RALPH EARLE WjH WELCH lAAnwtft CAPTA I N A meeting of all those interested in Baseball was called on Feb. 20th, for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, and appointing delegates to represent the school at the Baseball Convention, which was to be held at the St. Elmo Hotel, on Feb. 24th. The officers and delegates elected at this meeting were as follows: WILLIAM WELSH. RALPH EARLE, Captain. Ma’gr. and Treas. Orlando Smith, Joseph Lewis and Professor Smith, delegates to the Convention. On Feb. 24th, the Convention met at the St. Elmo Hotel for the purpose of forming an Interscholastic Baseball League ©f Orange County. Eight schools were represented as follows: Goshen, Port Jervis, Chester, Warwick Highland Falls, Newburgh, Cornwall and Corn-wall-on-Hudson. Owing to four towns being in the eastern part of the county, and four in the western part, it was decided to have two divisions with Goshen, Port Jervis, Chester and Warwick in the western division and Highland Falls, Newburgh, Corn- wall and Cornwall-on-Hudson, in the eastern division. A constitution for the governing of the league was drawn up. It provided among other things that five dollars should be placed in the hands of the Treasurer of the league by each team, which should be forfeited if a team failed to play a scheduled game. A committee was appointed to meet two weeks later for the purpose of making out the schedule. The officers elected were as follows: PROF. R. M. FREED, Chester President. GEORGE SCHNACKENBERG, Treasurer. On March 23rd, the manager called a meeting for the purpose of getting the names of all those who wished to try for the team. The fellows showed great interest and seventeen names were secured. At this meeting the financial question was brought up. It was thought that a good idea would be to take up a subscription in the school-The subscription was circulated and $47.25 was realized which gave the baseball team ample funds with which to start the season right. The students and faculty deserve great credit and praise for the way in which they responded. On the 6th of April, the team sojourned to Campbell Hall to play a practice game with the nine of that place. Although we were defeated the team made a fine showing. The final score was 1 3 to 5. We played our first league game on the 1 3th of April against the Chester High. The game was called at three o’clock, and although we had 13 players out to practice, beaten I 3-5 in 20 THE PIONEER our first game and played on the I 3th, we took the lead in the first inning and held it throughout the game. Our oponents made one run in the first and one in the second inning, after which they failed to score. There was a fair sized crowd out to see the excellent playing of the local team despite the bad weather. Final score 5-2. On the 20th day of April our team went to Port Jervis, and partly through lack of practice and helpless errors we were beaten 18-5. The following Saturday we went to Warwick with hope in our hearts, only to come back with the final score in Warwick’s favor 9-6. When Port Jervis came here on the 4th of May we put up the best game that we had played up to that time. The score was 1 1-4 in favor of Port Jervis. On the 18th of May we were defeated by Chester at that place by the score of 10-4. The Chester boys made 1 5 errors to our 7 but they made up for that by batting strong. On May 22nd the Suffern High School came up here. The game was a fast from start to finish. We shut Suffern out by a score of 7-0. The enjoyment of the game was marred in the 3rd inning by Van Houten, of Suffern, being struck on the head by a pitched ball while batting. He was rendered unconcious by the blow, and was taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. He remained there until May 30th when he was taken to his home in Monsey. The team was made up of the following fellows during the season: W elsh—catcher. T remper—pitcher. Coleman—1st base. H. Lewis—2nd base. Smith—short stop. J. Lewis—3rd base. Wilcox—left field. R. Earle—center field. Lippert—right field. Bacon—sub.

These occured on Friday afternoons and were greatly anticipated during the week. Besides greatly improving the floor, they were a social event which brought the students together in recreation. They aroused interest in the school life and gave the students a chance to “ educate their heels.” The dances were greatly enjoyed and thanks are due the committee who arranged for them. It is hoped by the school that more will be held next year. D. B. P„ ’12 A Notice All players on the baseball team please report in the basement immediately after school this afternoon.

Fraternity Dance Avery successful dance was given by the Upsilon Tau Sigma Fraternity in the Music Hall on the evening of the Track Meet, June 8th. Every school in the county was represented and everybody had a very enjoyable time. BacK Pioneers THE success of the Goshen High School Track Team was exceptional when we consider the material from which we were able to pick a team. The track team captured third place, defeating Port Jervis by one point. Owing to two unforeseen accidents, Charles Coleman's unfortunate fall at the last hurdle and Orlando Smith’s collision in the last lap of the two mile bicycle race, we were shut out of a sure second place. The following are the points secured by the different schools : Middletown 64. Newburgh 31. Goshen 19. Port Jervis 18. Washingtonville 12. Cornwall 8. EDITOR There’s a lot of things that never go by rule; There’s an awful lot of knowledge That you never get at college. There’s a lot of things you never learn at school. As there is not a single back copy of the Pioneer in the school library, it has been suggested that a call be issued for back numbers. If anyone having a back copy of the Pioneer that is in fair condition is willing to donate it toward making up the complete volume of eight copies for the school library will communicate either by mail or personally with Spencer Horton, the copies will be collected and put in the library. Local Daffies If Edith Munson fell and broke her neck would Miss Carrier? No but Miss Atwood. If Ralph Earle saw Grant would Sayer See-ly? If Dorothy Parker saw it rain would Ruth Snow? Miss Ames—You will never make a prominent man Mr. (Pete) Smith—You talk to much— Oh! how well the students of the high school realize that fact. MORAL—Better chop it Pete. Did you notice how thin Helen got after Easter vacation—Was ist los Herr Roosa? 22 THE PIONEER MEWS “ Never turn back is a very old saying, but let us violate this old adage and turn back to the history of Athletics in the Goshen High School and see if we cannot profit next year by mistakes that have been made in the past few years. In years gone by the Goshen High School has boasted of a Girls' Basketball Team. Why can’t we do the same next year? You girls have “ School Spirit. Get together and organize a team for the season of 1912-1913. Advice to the Coming Athlete Do you younger men realize that the Athletics in a few years to come lie at your mercy and it will be up to you to show what you can do ? You say that you are too young to do anything now. That may be true as far as winning anything is concerned, but what you can do and ought to be doing is to keep in training for the games or events that you intend to go in for. And when your time comes to show what you can do you will be ready to go in and do some- thing for the honor of the Goshen High School. But if you are not ready and your time has come to show your ability, why, by the time you are in condition your opportunity has gone by and the others who have been training have taken your place. AtHletic Association An Athletic Association is a very noted feature lacking in the Goshen High School. Practically every school in the country has an Athletic Association which controls School Athletics. Among the things controlled by such an Association we find: The managing of the current expenses of the teams; deciding the eligibility of the men on the teams; the awarding of the School letters or monogram, etc., which means that no one is allowed to wear the monogram or letters until he has won them. To be eligible to wear them one must have played a certain number of games, been Captain or Manager of a team. The Association awards the letters and monograms once a year to those who have faithfully earned them. Why can’t the Goshen High School boast of one of the finest systems of controlling School Athletics as other schools have done and are doing ? AtHletic Fund A subscription paper was circulated among the High School Students this year and about forty-seven dollars raised in this way and is a very good showing for the first time; but stop to figure it out and you will find that the average amount contributed was about twenty-five cents for each student. THE PIONEER 23 The financial end of the Athletics cannot be handled by those who play on the teams. It is up to every student in the school to support the High School Athletics. If every student in the High School would give one dollar at the beginning of next year towards the Athletic Fund the Association would have one hundred and fifty dollars to start the season with. Let us be able to say by the first of next October that the fund has reached over that amount and that your dollar helped to make it so. Now let us look forward to the coming season of Athletics and say that we are going to start off with a well formed Athletic Association, a Basket-Ball, Foot-Ball or Base-Ball Team with a crowd of fellows who have the “ Stick To-gether” spirit, and who are not looking for individual honors, but who say to themselves, “ I want to win my letters this year and the only way I can do it is by working together with the fellow alongside of me. W. H. S. The New Temple of Learning IN the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and eleven, there opened its doors to the students of ye ancient Goshen, a new Temple of Learning. Certain Goshen Fathers of Learning, aided by certain wise men from the great and learned city of Albany, selected as the site for the Temple, a spot in the center of the village of Goshen, near the place where every year are held celebrated equestrian contests. Let me describe to you this Temple of Learning. It is heated and ventilated by the most approved system, and is lighted throughout by electricity, and is supplied with all modern appliances. Three doors lead into the Temple, two on either end, being for the knowledge seekers, the young men and women respectively, and the great middle door for the learned pedagogues. The front door opens on the ground floor. On the left of it is the pedagogues' parlor and girls' retiring room, while on the right is the of- fice of the Board of Education, both of which are elegantly furnished in solid oak. On this same floor are the lockers, the light, airy gymnasium, and several store rooms which in the near future are to be used for domestic science and manual training. Leading up from the front entrance to the first floor are fire-proof stairs. On each side of the first landing is a bronze tablet One is Lincoln’s Gettysburg oration, given by the Major Murray Camp, Sons of Veterans, and the other is the dedication tablet. The corridor of the first floor is tiled. The walls are hung with pictures of Grecian sculpture and architecture. On this floor are the class rooms for the three primary grades, the rooms for the commercial and typewriting department, both of which are well equipped ; and a library of two thousand volumes with shelf room for four thousand. In addition there are complete reference libraries in each department. Here, too, occupying part of the main building and the rear wing, is the large auditorium which may easily seat five hundred persons, with ample stage and dressing rooms. On the second floor is a corridor, a large, well lighted academic study hall with accommodations for about one hundred and twenty students; the pedagogues’ training class and four class rooms for academic work; besides the two labratories for Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, which are large well lighted rooms, equipped with every appliance neccessary for the work on these subjects. At the head of the corridor is the chief of the pedagogue’s office, which, like the rest of the building, is finished in mission style and is furnished with oak. On the whole our new Temple of Learning satisfies in every detail, both the practical and the aesthetic. M. M„ ’12.

Ralph Earl BASKETBALL TEAM OF 1911-1912 UPSILON TAU SIGMA FRATERNITY BASEBALL TEAM OF 1912 THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING THE PIONEER 27 Class Prophecy I was studying real late one evening toward the close of my senior year and the last thing before retiring read 1 some Virgil, pertaining to Aeneas’s wanderings in the lower world and to his consultation with his dead father as to the future of Italy. Then I went to bed. I was soon asleep and in a few moments saw an immense cave directly in my path. I remembered that Aeneas found wisdom in a dark cavern, so 1 proceded to enter. I was met by a Sibyl clothed in white garments and carrying a white rod in her hand. She told me that if I had the courage to follow her I could learn of some future occurrences. Out of curiosity, 1 went with her into the weirdest place imaginable. On either side were huge black rocks projecting out into a dark gloomy hall. Once in a while I could see little balls of fire which 1 imagined were the eyes of some ravenous beast. I grasped in vain for the Sibyl’s hand, but we soon came to a very wide, rough river on which there was but one small boat. Charon, the boatman, ferried us across in his iron-colored raft. Then we proceeded into more darkness, which was only lighted when a phantom flitted by. Soon we met a distinguished looking spirit of which the Sibyl said I could ask questions. I immediately asked what would become of the class of 1912 of Goshen High School. He led me to what 1 supposed was an oracle and there asked me who were in the class. As tho by a magic lantern there appeared on the opposite wall, a street which 1 recognized as Goshen. On the left side of the street, 1 saw a sign “ Marsh Dept. Store ” and there was a man standing at the entrance. The magician said with a rough gutteral tone, “ He is the proprietor,” and then I knew it was the president of the class. Next there appeared on the screen, if you would call it such, a large building bearing the inscription, “ Roosevelt Hospital. As quick as a flash this passed and the interior was before my eyes. There was an immense room filled with rows of white cots on which the sick and wounded lay. 1 saw a young nurse with a familiar smile on her face bending over a little patient. 1 quickly recognized the nurse to be my chum, Dorothy Parker, of the class of 1912. Evidently she was scattering seeds of kindness and sunshine. This picture flashed and there appeared another street, which moved slowly by until we came to what the prophet said was the White House in Washington, D. C., and he also explained that it was reception day here. As before the interior was presented and I saw people shaking hands with the beautiful mistress of the House. It was not difficult to recognize in her the beauty of the class of 1912, the Treasurer from the hill. My guide again used his canvas and I saw the interior of a brokerage office. Sitting at the desk, there was a young man whom my companion said was junior partner. Upon looking closer I recognized our old friend the Editor of our class paper and was glad he was making good so fast. Next, by the aid of our screen, we proceeded east, and when we came to the western part of Colorado we “ ran across ” another member of our illustrious band. This was Evaleen Hartman, whom we learned was busily working to convert the Mormons just over the boundry in Utah. Good luck to our dear little missionary! As we traveled further east, we lingered in the busy city of Chicago. While we were viewing one of the lovely residential streets, we saw a placard bearing the name of a music teacher, attached to a post of one of the beautiful houses. The magician told me that the place belonged to Myrtle McMunn, who was the best musician in Chicago. I remembered that Myrtle was the only one of the Seniors who belonged to Miss Mauterstock's music class. Would that more had joined ! As my leader moved the pictures, I knew by the signs along the way that we were going toward New York. At Buffalo he halted before a large High School, which rose majestically from a high knoll. This passed and he displayed on the wall opposite me, a record of the present faculty there. Among them I saw the 28 THE PIONEER names of Isabelle Borland and Harriett Bush. I thought of what good times these two must have with positions in the same school. As the pictures moved the scene along to Syracuse, a train was seen steaming into the depot. The prophet told me that the man who was quickly caring for the mail on the train, was William Bacon, of Goshen, Class of 1912. He certainly seemed an efficient mail clerk. The scenery then changed to a business street in the city of Albany. There we could see a large quantity of machinery chugging away and standing by the side of this was unmistakably, Orlando Smith, the class talker. His face now bore the expression of seriousness and duty, because he had become a mechanical engineer of considerable eminence. My companion continued the story by telling me that “ Gussie ” Lippert was also in Albany and that he was the State Veterinary and a very good one at that. Then this picture vanished and I could see the skyscrapers of the metropolis. As the street moved by the likeness of a large bank was seen and I was told that Ralph Earle of the desired class was cashier of a well-known savings bank. Then Newburgh was on the scene, a place by which we quickly passed, as the magician explained that Anna Strong lived there, the wife of a civil engineer. The scenery then moved back toward dear old Goshen. Just at this moment, a terrible roaring, accompanied by streaks of light and followed by strains of music, was heard. The Magician declared he could talke no more and the Sibyl ushered me out of a large white gate. As 1 reached the surface, 1 looked around amazed and saw the sun streaming in my window. Then I recognized the music to be the voice of my dear mother calling: Charlette, you must get up if you’re going to school. Thus, I did not learn the fate of the secretary, but please all hope for the best. C. A. S. Miss Ames—Speaking of monopolies—If there was a Horse Radish trust that would probably be about as strong as any. Annual Prize Speaking Contest ON Friday, May 24, 1912, the seventh annual prize speaking contest of the Goshen High School was held in the High School Auditorium.

DEAR SENIORS: WE are most indebted to you for the careful way in which you have looked out for our welfare, and we will try to follow your advice as far as possible. We are sorry to say in most respects you are impossible. You certainly showed great discretion when you chose such a dignified person for your leader. A class that is so dependent should feel lucky that they had one member who knew his lessons at least three times a week. Your president makes a fine leader for the parade which daily trots to Virgil at his heels. That is an excellent example of your self reliance. We all realize that no class has ever set such ideas of high standings and patriotism as yours has. It is with much regret that we say we expect to carry these out along different lines than you have used and we hope to have much better results. What can be said about your colors, green and white? They are certainly most appropriate, if not pretty. Surely one could not think of them without being reminded of the bright green shade of the one and the pure freshness of the other. Let us caution you that if white is stored in a dark corner, it will turn after a long time to a yellow of knowledge, one of the colors most fitting to our class. As you are soon to commence on the road of trials and temptations, we advise you not to act so proudly and foolishly as you did when you were Seniors, or you will have a dreadful fall. But in closing, let me say in behalf of the Juniors, that although we reprimand you Seniors of 1912, we heartily wish you happiness and the best success in future years. P. Y.
