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.

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.
