TI1K I’lONEE! i; Class Poem. The Class of Thirteen is a Class As thrifty as can be; For this’s the year when we all shine ( ?) When we recite they all say,'“Fine!” The first on the list is Charlie Lynch, Our President renowned, Who as an architect of fame Will win for himself a noted name. Now our dear Jean must not he missed; Our Secretary fair, Who comes to town, as we all know, Trying to make Napoleon (?) go. And too there’s Charles Coleman, who Our treasurer honest is; And if he keeps in this profession To some bank he’ll make a valued accession. And next comes Agnes Alton, Whose only purpose seems To be a lass so full of glee As to create some jollity. Then there is Eva Galloway, That fetching little maid. She’s sure to be a popular nurse Keeping busy the man who drives the hearse. And now our dear Miss Leonard Looms up in all our minds. Rut never would she think or dream, Of “Goshen High School,” as her theme. Well, here we picture Moses Rowe, Who doesn’t like the girls. On a motorcycle rides around And is sure to visit many a town. And now we see Charlotte Seacord, Who all the honors took, While at the Washingtouville Schools, And made the rest sit back like fools. And Russell Rutan, must now appear, That well known lad of ours, Who is tlie leader in our town Of a ball team of world renown. The next on the list is Henry Merritt, That innocent little “Hank.” With all of his great aspirations He’ll be called to settle the fate of nations. Then there is Marjorie Stocken too, Our Editor-in-Chief Who, when it gets ’bout two o’clock (a. m.) Will say, “I guess I’ll have to stop:” And still there is one left, And that’s good-natured I, Who’s had an awful time To get these couplets to rhyme. And here I wish to say, “Good-bye” In the Senior Class’ behalf To one and all our teachers dear To give them all a hearty cheer. M. G. S., ’13. The Class History. The Class of 1913 lirst came together as Seniors on the first of March, 1913. There were at that time twelve members, and as we have lost none since, we are still a “perfect” dozen. Charles Lynch, who was elected president at our first meeting, blew in to (1. II. S. from Breeze Hill, in the year of our Lord lift)!). Since that time he has set a pace that few of our number have been able to follow, and has at length reached the coveted position of Valedictorian of his class. Maude Schoonmaker, our little vice-president, began her education in the first grade of Goshen Public School, and has shown the value of that training by win-

THE PIONEER 7 ning the second prize for two years, in the home speaking contests, besides making a “hit” in our Senior Play. Charles Coleman started in Goshen’s kindergarten way back when “Caesar crossed the Rubicon.” Since that time he lias developed in body, mind and spirit and today he stands a pillar of fame. Charles has done much for his school in the way of athletics and since he has successfully cared for all his gold medals, we have intrusted the class treasury in his hands. We are proud to say that our class contains one actor who couldn’t be beat, “Conrad, the plumber.” Jean Ilardie dropped in our school late last fall, full of airs, fresh from the city. She has made the other members of the class, through her various maneuvers, sit up and take notice, but her greatest accomplishment has been in capturing the hearts of Goshen’s sons, until now she has a string that reaches nearly to Boynton’s Farm. Upon her we have bestowed the office of secretaryship but in it we knew she could not excel her skill in horsemanship. Russell Rutan is another product of Goshen Schools, for he started in the first grade (a very bashful lad, though it’s hard to believe) and has been the cut up of the class ever since. Once in a while he has studious spells and at those times he has given marked attention to Physics, although the fact that he is “Salutatorian,” gives evidence that he did not wholly neglect other subjects. His good natured ways and sunny smiles has won him a girl, which would not have happened, had he tried good management. We do not know much of Miss Leonard’s past history, except that before she came to Goshen, she attended a very select school in the city. Last fall she arrived at our school in a cab and has, since that day, shown us what real “Senior dignity” is. Marjorie Stocken started in the first grade along with some other members of our class, and has distinguished herself by winning a 1). A. R. essay prize, two first prizes in the home speaking contests and first prize this year in the county contest. For the past year she has been taking the course in the Teachers’ Training Class as well as making up the counts in the High School, which prevented her from graduating last year. At last she has attained the distinction of being the editor of the class paper and graduating with the class of 1!)13. In his early days, Henry Merritt attended a private school where he was taught the fundamental principles of reading, writing and arithmetic also some effective rules in good behavior. When he entered our school he was a lad of marked ability who could make the rest of us take notice when he wanted to, and to this day he continues to have the same reputation. He helped Goshen win second place in the track meet this year and has been known to win a prize for public speaking. To our Senior class, his most noted achievement of the past year, was the way in which he took the part of “Arthur” in our play, bringing credit to himself and the entire east. Agnes Alton, one of Campbell Hall’s belles, has been with us three years, and during that period has shown us town boobs that it isn’t so bad after all to receive one’s early education in a district school. Through her winning ways she has won herself many friends (of both sexes, I’m afraid).
