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.

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 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.
