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.

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.
