INTRODUCTION The Senior Class of 1914 are presenting to the public at the close of their life in Goshen High School this tenth edition of the “Pioneer.” Though all the seniors’ names may not be inserted as the authors of any particular paragraphs or articles, nearly every one in the class has contributed something toward the paper. We have tried to make this Pioneer represent a proper school spirit, and any jokes or knocks found within are given with ample sense of humor behind them, and will, we are sure, be received in a like manner. In behalf of the seniors, I take this opportunity of thanking all our friends for the part they have taken during the past year in making our various school functions successful. We wish all to know that we appreciate most deeply the patronage given our enterprises and the interest taken in everything pertaining to our school life. To the teachers we owe more than to any others, for it is through their efforts that we have attained this position as seniors. There is nothing that we can do except thank them for all they have done for us, but we want them to know that they have our sincerest gratitude. Editor. 2 THE PIONEER Senior Class Roll.

And now the Class of ’14 is waiting for the happy moment when they can take the honored seats. The Class of ’14 is the largest to be graduated from dear old G. II. S., but let us hope that each class will grow, as we have done. First, comes Reginald Waldo, the honorable President of our Class. This worthy member travels back and forth to G. H. S. daily on the Campbell Ilall Flyer and Montgomery Express. He first started to study in this Temple of Learning in 1911 in his freshman year. He learned his A, B, C’s and the Rule of Three in the “little schoolhouse on the hill” in Campbell Hall. We all wish him success in his future occupation. Douglas Jackson, “the great lecturer on anatomy,” is our Vice-President. He is one of the illustrious fellows who are receiving their diplomas in three years. “Professor” Jackson started in the Goshen schools in the first grade and has worked diligently up to this honorable position. We hope he will never err and go to a prize-fight as Mr. Goodly did. Bertha Bookstaver has received the renowned position as Treasurer to this estimable Class. “Minerva” came to G. H. S. in her sophomore year from the large city of Bullville, where she obtained her early education. We hope she will remember the Class of ’14 when she sits before the fire in 1990. Now, comes the shining light of the Class—the esteemed William Vogel. He is a protege of the Yonkers schools and came to Goshen in the seventh grade. He has received so many honors that I can not begin to tell you about them all. He is Valedictorian and Secretary of the Class, and the winner of many prizes. We hope he will make his name and renown as a lawyer, and I advise the other members of the Class to remember to go to him with their divorce cases. Alice Dayton has toiled incessantly, both in speaking and in studying, from the first grade to the last year in High School. We wish her luck in her future occupation as an elocutionist. Mary Fitchie, another Campbell Hall citizen, journeys daily to Goshen on the Campbell Hall Express trains (she wouldn’t ride on a local). She first honored Goshen High School with her presence in her freshman year. I trust she will be as THE PIONEER 3 strict and firm with her scholars as the G. H. S. teachers have been with us. Marjorie Thompson travels up on the Erie from the renowned town of Ilarri-man. She entered G. H. S. in her sophomore year and is now ready for college. We wish her success. Ralph Pembleton is the poet of the Class. He has journeyed from the Webster School to the Erie School and then to Goshen High School. I think he will be glad to sit upon the platform and receive his diploma for his labors (like the rest of us). Elting France has traveled through the entire schools of Goshen and has reached his goal at last. We wish him success in his examinations. Margaret Findley and Lillian Illenberg are products from the Washingtonville schools. They both entered G. H. S. and the Senior Class this year. We will have to acknowledge that Washingtonville must have good schools, for Miss Findlay is the Salutatorian of the Class. Edith Nash came to G. H. S. in her freshman year, after graduating from the Denton Seminary. She travels back and forth on the dusty, dirty Erie every day. We trust she will carry her other trials as the Erie has carried her. Last, but not least, comes the Honorable William Bennet. Mr. Bennet obtained his earliest education in the little Gate School House, but the greater part of it has been received from the Goshen schools. Here is another brilliant lawyer (?) who is receiving his diploma in three years. Many rewards have been showered upon his early endeavors, and we hope he will receive as many in the future years. We will pass over the history of the author, as I am sure most of the readers are tired of this dry record. This is the extent of the Class of 1914, and we hope to add a few more to our graduates after the examinations. We will gladly welcome them and wish them success. M. B. By the Class of ’14 to the School. 1. A man is but a little thing, The trifling toy of Time; Let all the world with plaudits ring, ’Tis but the symbol’s chime. But who can measure The boundless pleasure Of friendship strong as love, Formed in thy quiet hall, Their fervor shall never fall, They are part of God above. 2. To thee, our Alma Mater dear, The thousand thanks thy due We pay and still in deep arrears Must ever be to you. God grant we live That we may give Due honor to the school; ’Tis all we ask, ’Twill be our task, And right shall win the duel. 3. The Class of ’14 passes on Into a world of strife. May never from our minds be gone Thy Golden Rule of life. Silver and red be forward bent, No worth comes without labor spent, Though Time still on the years may roll. Goshen, thoughts of thee ever fair Fill our hearts and will linger there ’Till softly glides away the soul. W. B. 4 THE PIONEER SENIOR CLASS PLAY “The Frisky Salesman” CAST OF CHARACTERS. Smith, a Traveling Salesman_________ ______________________Reginald Waldo Ebenezer Goodly, Professor of Anatomy _____________________Douglas Jackson Antony Goodly, D. 1)., Bishop of Ballarat _________________Ralph Pembleton Richard Heatherly, Engaged to Marjorie __________________William Bennet Thomas Holder, a Policeman .Fred Tieman William Bigbee, an Inmate of a Sani- torium_____________Van Duzer Wallace Henry Fuller, Superintendent of the Sanitorium_______________Wayne Crosby Mrs. Goodly, Ebenezer’s Wife________ _________________________Alice Dayton Cissy, Ebenezer’s Ward______________ ___________________Marjorie Thompson Marjorie and Minerva, Ebenezer’s Daughters _________________________ Marion Borland and Bertha Bookstaver Alvina Starlight, Mrs. Goodly’s Sister __________________________Mary Fitchie Helma, Swedish Servant GirL.Edith Nash The curtain rises! The play begins! What play? you would ask. Can it be possible that you have not heard of the cast, inferior to none in the whole country, who are to produce this play? Smith, a second John Drew, is the central figure, and around him are grasped actors and actresses formed for their ability. But take a look for yourself at Ebenezer Goodly, who is the first character to appear on the stage. Very quiet and dignified looking is Ebenezer until Mrs. Goodly enters upon the scene. Then we see that Mr. Goodly is merely a figurehead in the family circle. Superiority and meekness are portrayed most vividly in these two characters, and this lack and overflow of will power and determination, as shown by Ebenezer and his wife, hinge most directly on the outcome of the play. Their daughters, Minerva and Marjorie, are soon presented to us. Minerva represents a very quiet, unobtrusive young lady whose tastes have always been toward literary elevation, while Marjorie—but why mention her without Richard—hankers after the tastes of the majority of her age, namely, a beau. Marjorie’s intended, Richard, seems not quite a model young man in many respects, but his sportsmanlike character and ready stories appeal to one, as is ever the case. A very important factor of the Goodly household, as well as a very necessary one, is the maid Helma. Stupidity reigns in her “honest” soul, and we might add also, a love for money and pretty clothes. Cissy, just returned from California, shocks quite frequently her guardian, Ebenezer. Brimming over with witty sallies and wordly tastes, she causes much consternation in the plain home circle of the Goodly’s. Alvina, a love-lorn lass of fifty, or so, is looking forward to a visit from a bishop of the east. The two have had a most ro-inatic courtship, as they are engaged without having ever seen each other. Alvina’s eagerness to see her dear bishop reaches the pathetic, and we are all hoping the satisfaction of the two will be mutual. This seems a most opportune time to say THE PIONEER 5 a word concerning the bishop. But a word will suffice as to his looks, though many could be spoken in a description of his nobility of character and utter lack of a sense of humor. Holden, a policeman, in his watchfulness for crime, pulls himself into considerable trouble, and though his position demands the respect of everyone, there comes a time when he is glad to escape, even though held in anything but respect. Bigbee, a good natured individual, though a little light-headed, brings much enlivenment to the play. His brief rest from the curriculum of a sanitorium causes him to think of many things he would like to do. But his good time is stopped of a sudden by the superintendent of the sanitorium, Fuller. This man removes his patient in haste to surroundings more fitting his style of thought. As you see, I have left Smith for the last, where I would have plenty of space to speak of his importance in the success of the play. The cast seems very proud of one of its members who can fake any occupation from a book seller to a minister, and finally to that of a suitor. And what is of interest is that Smith passed successfully through these various stages of difficulties to a position envied by us all. Now we see the whole cast grouped on the stage, and every member has seemed to find the individual who is essential to his or her happiness. The curtain falls! The play is ended! And we have only to look around the crowded hall to know that the play is a financial success,'while the enthusiasm of the spectators assures us that the seniors have fulfilled and more the expectations of the people, concerning their acting ability. P. Y. Girl’s Glee Club. Miss Marie A. Parker, our music instructor, has improved the vocal condition of the school by organizing a girl’s glee club, consisting of thirty-three girls, all of whom have been developed into first class singers. Their extra fine showing has attracted much attention throughout the village and to that extent they were requested to render selections at the annual entertainments of the Young Stars Baseball Club, of Goshen. In connection with the rendering of selections for this organization, the singers sang at nearly every school event that has been held throughout the year. The members of this musical society, which is not surpassed in any school throughout this section, are: First Soprano — Florence Hinchman, Genevieve Ilolbert, Ellen Coates, Marcella Russell, Gladys Carvey, Clara Edwards, Natalie Scott, Beatrice Earle, Flora Howell, Nina Vogel, Alice Boyd, Marie Hoffman, Jesse Turner, Laura Rutan, Elizabeth Strong, Emily Pembleton, Gladys Seely. Second Soprano—Elizabeth Phillips, Helen Durland, Lucie Wallace, Sarah Lockwood, Ada Knapp, Christine Makeun, Janet Coates, Elsie Rutan, Anne Sutherland, Alice Gott. Alto—Fern Potter, Florence Krom, La-vina Du Rie, Edith Elders, Louise Coleman. Pianist—Miss Fannie Fancher. Instructor—Miss Marie A. Parker. 6 THE PIONEER CLASS POEM. Nineteen Hundred Fourteen. “Wal I’ll be darned!” said a Goshen rube, Whose bones and joints did crack when lie moved, ‘‘The biggest thing that ever hit this scene, Outside of Barnum and Bailey, was the Class of ’14. There was Alice Dayton of “Goodly” fame, Whose great performance made known her name. In speaking contests, medals toward her were sent, And she took them home with the “Whistling Regiment.” There was Marjorie Thompson, the Ilarriman Miss, Who had so much spped she fairly would whiz. Very smart and petite, also spunky and bright, When she wasn’t saucy—she was all right. There was Mary Fitchie, a dancer she is, She did her steps best with Harry Lewis. But, just the same, she beat the rest to a frazzle, Some day she’ll be better than Mrs. Vernon Castle. An esteemed President was R. Waldo, Who did his best to make the Senior Class go (?) In school deep studies he’d always endure, Because some day he’ll be a doctor. There was Miss Bookstaver, that dignified girl, With the “Frisky Salesman” she’d not take a whirl, She was bright, but that didn’t bother her a whit, Because where she’s a teacher she’ll be a hit. There was William Bennet, so smart in spellin’, He was ever lonesome unless he had Ellen. He’ll be a lawyer, and some lawyer he’ll be, If he isn’t a Whitman—well, you can search me. There was Edith Nash, a Helma so fine, She put Middletown’s a mile behind; Although she said, “Yas, sir, und I not know,” She certainly gave the part the vim and the go. There was William Vogel or Demosthenes, Who with his essays all prizes would sieze; He could debate, decline and parse ever model, And so we’ll take off our hats to “big” Bill Vogel. THE PIONEER 7 There was Marion Borland, the actress, whose fame Would put Sarah Bernhardt and even Flora Finch to shame, But just the same, she’ll make a great name, To be seen over Broadway in electric lights aflame. There was Kiting France, sometimes known as Dick, Who would learn the longest lessons and never kick; But some day of old Dick France you’ll hear, As the greatest surveyor that ever was here. There was Douglas Jackson, a speaker so brave, That Daniel Webster turned with envy in his grave; In the future the faculty of Goshen High School he’ll thank, Because through their help he owns Knickerbocker Bank. There was Miss Findlay, from Washingtonville she’d ride, In order to win some suffragettes to her side; But although she’s tall and rises high in the air, She’ll beat Rosalie Jones and win the President’s chair. There was Lillian Illenberg, that chic little miss, Because of tango her lessons she’d miss; When she was caught, she’d be as polite as could be, And say, “It was this way-er-um-don’t you see?” Now all is o’er, our graduation we’ve won, We are glad to hear the honorable well done; And so for the pleasure of our readers and friends, To my poetical efforts, I’ll put an end. R. L. P. 8 THE PIONEER The Literary Society. “Studia litterarum adulscentaim alunt, senectu-tem oblectant, secundas res ormant, adversis per-fugium ac soiacium praebent, et memoriam sempi-ternam sapientaie consevant.” With an object of cultivating and cherishing the higher attainments of intellectual life, the Literary Club of the Goshen High School was formed in September, 1913. At the first meeting the officers were elected as follows: President—Edwin Marston. Vice President—Wm. E. Vogel. Sec. and Treas.—Howard Mather. A constitution was drawn up. There were ten charter members, whose duty was to enroll new members, and in every manner possible to strive to bring the society to a standard where it would endure for ages in the eternal memory of literature. Meetings were held weekly and in the discussions which arose it was evident that enthusiasm was at its high tension. Soon a debate was held on the subject, “Resolved, that capital punishment should be abolished.” The team upholding the affirmative consisted of William Bennet, Wm. E. Vogel and Edwin Marston. The negative, Howard Mather, Franklin Schriver and an unknown who dared not come out on the platform. This debate showed the rising spirit of the debaters, but to all intents it was lacking in the fundamental principles which characterize the eminent debater. The decision was given to the negative to the utmost indignation of all present. A mock trial was formed with Howard Mather as trial judge, Wm. Vogel as district attorney, and Herman France as clerk. A case was formed, Franklin Schriver being the defendant’s attorney. The case was hotly contested, the pleas and speeches made showing plainly that the district attorney and defendant’s attorney were both born argurers. In February a debate was held on the subject, “Resolved, that the progress of civilization decreases the love of martial glory.” The affirmative side was upheld by William Bennet, Herman France and Franklin Schriver. The negative by Howard Mather and Wm. Vogel. This debate showed the members of the literary society at their best. The decision was given to the negative side. Another trial was held at which Wm. Bennet carried off the prize. This ended the successful season, and all interested were of the opinion that they had gained great knowledge and experience. Thus there passes into example the renowned society of the G. H. S. which upholds the noble cause of literature. W. E. V. Back “Pioneers.” As there are only one or two issues of back “Pioneers” in the school library, a call is issued for those that are not in the school. If anyone has a copy of the “Pioneer” previous to the eighth issue, and would like to donate it to the school library, they will be thanked very much if they would please notify the librarian. “Heat.” Jennie sat upon a red hot stove, But she said it was not hot; The reason for this was because Some parts of Jennie were real and some were not. THE PIONEER 9 Prize Speaking Contests. The ninth annual local prize speaking contest was held in the High School Auditorium on Friday evening, May 22nd. The speakers, and also those who spent many hours in training them, were much praised. The program was as followe: Piano Solo—“Piano Chimes”---------- ______________________Harold Knapp Declamation—“Patrick Henry’s Speech on American Independence”________ ___________A. Van Duzer Wallace, Jr. Recitation—“The Littlest Rebel”____ ____________________Emily Pembleton Declamation—“Webster’s Reply to Hayne”_______________William Vogel Recitation—“The Swan Song”--------- ________________________Laura Rutan Declamation—“Plea for Cuba”-------- _____________________William Bennet Piano Solo—“Twelfth Hungarian Rhap- sodie” (Liszt)----------------Philena Young Recitation—“For Her Country’s Sake” ________________________Alice Dayton Declamation—“The Storming of Mission Ridge”____________Douglas Jackson Recitation—“The Highwayman”-------- ____________________Margaret Phillips Declamation—“Wallace Forever”------ ____________________Franklin Schriver Chorus—“Moonlit Meadows ”__Glee Club Piano Solo—“Valse” (Chopin)-------- ______________________Fannie Fancher Decision of Judges. After a long debate, the judges finally came to a decision. The first prize for girls was awarded to Emily Pembleton, and the first prize for boys to Franklin Schriver. The second prize for girls wras given to Alice Dayton, and the second for boys to William Bennet. The prizes were donated by Principal M. C. Smith, Joseph Merritt, Dr. C. H. Thompson and George F. Gregg. On Saturday evening, May 30th, the Interscholastic Contest was held in the High School Auditorium. There were four schools represented, Warwick, Florida, Port Jervis and Goshen. The following program was well rendered: Piano—“Concert Valse”---------------- ____________________Genevieve Holbert “Exordium in Knapp Murder Case”— __________________________Harry McCabe “Timothy’s Guest’’-Genevieve Van Duzer “Wallace Forever”_______Franklin Schriver “Leaving Yorkshire School”___________ _____________________Kenneth Waddell “Back in War Days”__________Julia Riley “The Littlest Rebel”______Emily Pembleton Vocal Number— “Hi!

Parker. “The Chariot Race” from Ben Hur------ _______________________Hubert Raynor “Captain January’s Star”------------- __________________Emeline Cuddeback “Moonlit Meadows”__________Girls’ Chorus Piano Solo—“Bell Tours”-------------- __________________________Grace Tuthill As there were but two judges, one from New Jersey and the other from Monroe, the minutes before they returned seemed like hours. But with them came a most satisfactory result for Goshen High School. The prizes were awarded as follows: First prize for girls---------------- ________Emeline Cuddeback, Port Jervis Second prize for girls--------------- _____________Emily Pembleton, Goshen 10 THE PIONEER First prize for boys____________________ -------------Franklin Schriver, Goshen Second prize for boys___________________ --------------Hubert Raynor, Warwick A. E. D., ’14. D. A. R. Essay Contest. The two annual prizes, given by the Minisink Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, were awarded in the High School Auditorium on the afternoon of February 28. The subject this year was: “The Sectional Differences in Andrew Jackson’s Reign. ’ ’ A number of essays were submitted by the students. After an excellent address by Mr. Coon, Miss Alice Hart Neafie gave a pleasant talk and presented the prizes. William Vogel received the first prize and Reginald Waldo the second. Philena Young was given honorable mention for the clever way in which she handled the subject. The students look with more interest every year to the day which the Minisink Chapter visits the school. D. N. J. Hallowe’en Party. Along in October at one of the meetings of the Senior Class of ’14, it was suggested that the Seniors should find some way to forward the social life of the school. This suggestion was acted upon, and the outcome was that on one evening in November, a Hallowe’en party was held in the high school auditorium. Invitations were extended to the Alumni Association, faculty of the High School, eighth grade and High School students. The first part of the evening was spent in playing games which were entered into with a will and were much enjoyed, especially by the children of the eighth grade and those in the first three years of high school. After this dainty refreshments were served by the Seniors, and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing to music furnished by Tierney’s orchestra. The magic touch was given by Miss Masterson, who, throughout the evening, made known the future to those who desired such revelations. The evening was pronounced a success, and all those who had appreciated the efforts of the Seniors to help them up the social ladder and had come to the entertainment, went home feeling that they had spent a very pleasant evening. B. A. B. “Toot-Toot.” Steaming, shining, panting, straining, Stands the monster of the road; Ready for her mighty journey, At the touch of throttle’s goad. Two small steel bands, This Titan’s track; In black clouds, with thunder’s roar, Pours the smoke from her great stack. In the polished cab her pilot bold, Ilis hair is grey, his eyes seem dim; But well we know from days of old, There’s nothing reckless in our “Jim.” There stands our engine grim and dark, Strong in the engine’s hall of fame; Grand in beauty and in size, “The Montgom’ry Pusher” is her name! A Student from G. H. S. THE PIONEER SCHOOL SOCIETIES. Alpha Gamma Sigma Sorority. Alpha Chapter. The Alpha Gamma Sigma Sorority was organized in February, 1913, with six members. Since then the number has increased to ten. The following are now members: Maude Schoonmaker—President. Elizabeth Sharts—Vice President. Mary Fitchie—Secretary-Treasurer. Jean Hardie. Margaret Hardie. Alice Hartman. Mary Coleman. Helen Boyce. Marion Borland. Marjorie Stocken. This club has enjoyed a number of social functions during the past year, at which they royally entertained their friends. Upsilon Tau Sigma. The Upsilon Tau Sigma fraternity met on the evening of May 16, at which time they held their second annual election of officers and banquet. After the meeting the fraters adjourned to the grill room of Bulson and Ferguson, where they enjoyed a delicious banquet. The following are the officers for the ensuing year: President—Donald Parker. Vice President—S. Ralph Earle. Chairman—Spencer Horton. Sec’y and Treas.—Scott Osborne. C. T.—Robert Lewis. K. G.—Moses Rowe. Committees. Entertainment—R. Lewis, M. Rowe and S. Osborne. Social—D. Parker, H. Lewis and R. Earle. Membership—Roland Earle, R. Waldo, D. Parker and H. Lewis. Senior Entertainment at the Home of M. C. Smith. On the evening of May first, the members of the Senior Class were entertained by Principal and Mrs. Smith, at their home on South Street. A program of amusement, consisting of different games and music had been arranged. It would be needless to say that these pleasures of the evening, as well as the delicious refreshments which were served, were thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The guests took their departure about 11:45, declaring Principal and Mrs. Smith royal host and hostess, and the evening spent with them will long be remembered by every member of the class of 1914. M. F. Alumni Association. The officers for the school year, 1913-14, are: President—Mary E. Bassett, ’04. Vice President—Wm. Y. Rumsey, ’04. Secretary—Molly Foster, ’ll. Treasurer—Adele Witt, ’ll. Emergency Hospital Play. On April the third, a play entitled “Peter Piper’s Troubles’’ was given in the auditorium of the High School, for the benefit of the Emergency Hospital. The cast was as follows: Peter Piper, a lawyer’s clerk_______ _____________________Charles Coleman Selwyn Kibby, a poor artist_________ ___________________Kenneth Sinsabaugh Jonah Bundy, a regular Jonah________ ____________________Earl Van Demark 12 THE PIONEER Daniel Grubbins, a lawyer___Abram Clark Hon. Adolphus Grubbins, an Englishman ____________________William Bennet Doris Chester, a music teacher________ ----------------------Marion Borland Winifred Barrington, a wealthy widow ----------------------Clara Sutherland Betsy Bolivar, American girl__________ -------------------Maude Sclioonmaker Through the kindness of the Board of Education in letting the cast use the auditorium, and the activity of those who presented the play, a good act of charity was performed. All the members of the cast have been prominent characters in the Goshen High School at some time during the recent years. An Acknowledgement. In behalf of the students of the High School, we wish to extend a word of appreciation to the many friends who have contributed to the success and pleasure of the year’s work. Especially we wish to thank the following, who by gifts and prizes, have done so much to stimulate an interest in various lines of school activity: Those who contributed the money prizes for the annual Prize Speaking Contest. Mr. Joseph Merritt, Esq. Mr. Geo. F. Gregg. Dr. Charles H. Thompson. Prin. M. C. Smith. The Board of Education for its annual sum of ten dollars as a scholarship prize. Mr. Frank Drake, who donates annually the Independent Republican prize of ten dollars. Minisink Chapter, D. A. R., for its two prizes of five dollars each. Mr. John Phillips, who has donated challenge cups for a tennis tournament. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Activities. The past year has proved to be a most successful one for the young men’s and young women’s Christian societies associated with the school. The noon groups have held meetings nearly every week. At these meetings luncheons were served by different committees, after which varied programs were taken up. This social intercourse between the members of these groups, which are composed of the non-resident students, has been most enjoyable and beneficial to all concerned. But the event of the societies, which clings to our memories as most impressive and instructive for outsiders, was the debut of the members in varied social roles. As it would not be just to describe the part taken by any one in the play, unless something was said about all the participants, and as descriptions of some of the characters would reach the ridiculous, it seems wise to state merely that everyone was so engrossed in his or her part, that it was difficult in many instances to recognize the original part. It is needless to say that this play was a decided social success and will long be remembered by the public as a most enjoyable event. The cast was: Uncle Ephraim Iliggins-Thompson Burtis Sam---------------------Herman France Squire Briggs------------- Howard Mather Squire Brigg’s son-------Augustus Wallace Henry Augustus Witherspoon_____________ ---------------------William Bennet Mr. Saunders------------Reeves Makuen Mr. Plialen-------------Franklin Scliriver Mrs. Phalen-----------------Mildred Shaw Little Phalens_________________________ ..Pauline Seeley and Laurence Durland THE PIONEER 13 Mr. Bangs_________________Ralph Seacord Mrs. Bangs_____________Margaret Findlay Harold Bangs___________Woodford Clark Herr Comiusky__________Marcella Russell Miss Drucina Kitchum___Louise Coleman Mrs. Robert Lindsey Van Cleve________ _______________________Leslie Patterson Lucile Van Cleve_______Dorothy Patterson Marguerite Van Cleve_______Julia Conklin Madam Elston____________Dorothy Moulton Dorothy Elston_________Eleanore Durland Polly Flanders___________Lizzie Johnson Mrs. Higgins________--Charlotte Seacord Molly Higgins_______________________Laura Tuthill Amie Higgins_______________Viola Wilkin Susie Higgins______________Agnes Alton Betty Higgins______________________Hannah Brown And now at the close of their school year activities, I am sure that everyone wishes to congratulate these societies on the prosperous year they have just completed, and also wishes that their next year may be as successful as this has been. P. Y. Training Class. We, the girls of the Goshen Training Class, met for the first time on September eighth. When we started to prepare ourselves for the noble work before us, we were twenty-two. Later we were joined by Hilda Jackson and Vera Skinner, both of whom left us ere the new year began. As a class we are very cosmopolitan, embracing more towns of Orange County than any other class in the history of this school. It is also a well known fact that there is more beauty and brains in our class than in any before us. But, we ask you, where is the beauty? In January wTe lost two of our members. Jean Hardie and Ella Tierney were then deserters. And now, if you please sir, we are twenty. As a class we have undoubted histrionic ability. Ask anyone who saw the Y. M. C. A. play. Lizzie Johnson is a tragedienne of marked in the popular classic “Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight.” Mildred Shaw denies her Irish descent, but listen when she is talking to Mr. Phalen. On a certain May day we organized our class, choosing Lizzie Johnson, President; Sarah Horan, Secretary, and Flora Greening, Treasurer. We work! Ask Miss Kellogg, who we all love and admire. She has seen by our efforts that we not only study by day but burn the midnight oil. And now, farewell. We may never meet again, dear companions. A year hence we will be scattered to the four corners of Orange County, teaching the young idea how to shoot—paper wads. The members of the Goshen Training Class, as they are at present, are: Agnes Alton, Kathryn Doremus, Sarah Horan, Elizabeth Larkin, Charlotte Seacord, Laura Tuthill, Julia Conklin, Ada Greening, Lizzie Johnson, Dorothea Moulton, Madge Seely, Isabel Connelly, Flora Greening, Julia Knob, May Peck, Mildred Shaw, Viola Wilkin. Class Will. We, the Class of 1914, in full possession of sound minds, about to depart from the Goshen High School, hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: To Van Duzer Wallace we bequeath the pleasure of securing a position with some large clothing house where he will have full charge of the coats (Coates). We al- 14 THE PIONEER so leave to him the honor of being a candidate for Captain of the Yale track team. To Margaret Phillips, the Junior’s suffragette, we leave a copy of the constitution of the United States, in order that she may not overstep her rights in her attempt to gain the vote. To Edwin Marston we leave a pair of blue glasses, so that the beauties and charms of life without may not blind him (as one charmer has nearly accomplished the feat). To Emily Pembleton, we leave the re-election to the presidency of the Knockers’ Club. To Donald Parker, we leave some blank phonograph records, so that he may have a means of recording his various important speeches—also the honor of being the valedictorian of next year’s class. To Howard Mather, a book of instructions on “How to Become a Baseball Manager.” To Sarah Lockwood, a bottle of weight reducer, so that she may be relieved of her surplus flesh.

As I sat moping one Friday afternoon, my thoughts began to wander, and I imagined myself down in New York starting out with General Rosalie Jones on one of her suffrage “hikes.” My head was turned with indescribable thrills at being accorded such an honor, and I gazed in all directions to see if in the crowd there weren’t some of my old acquaintances who might envy me my position. Yes! There, towering above the mass of people, was Margaret Findlay, a member of the Class of T4. She had a short, trembling individual by the arm, upon whom she was seeking to impress the ills of suffrage for women. I did not recognize the man, her husband as I supposed him to be, but I was very sorry to see that Margaret was so decided in her views on the question of women’s rights, for to all appearances her lines in that regard were not drawn very l’egularly. Having had an opportunity to see what changes had been wrought in one of the members of the Class of ’14, I decided to keep my eyes open with the hope of seeing how other members of that class had fared in their battle with life. A little farther on I recognized Bertha, deep in social work. Back in our school days many of us had remarked that Bertha was most aptly fitted for such work, and I was very pleased to find that our predictions concerning our friend had been correct. As we were passing through a suburb, we went by a gorgeously decorated fortune telling booth, and upon looking inside, I saw that Elizabeth and Veronica Leonard were the lucky owners of this most fascinating place. I was sorry I did not have time to stop and have my fortune told, but I was just beginning to experience the strictness of the rules on such a march. At the next block I had an opportunity of seeing the inferior position in which men hold women. Two nicely dressed young men approached General Rosalie, talked with her a few moments concerning our trip, and then one broached the subject of life insurance. He thought we should all take out an accident policy because of the way in which we were traveling. Before he had finished, the other said he was a lawyer and would like very much to draw up our wills for us, should we deem it advisable. It did not take our leader long to inform these men whether she deemed life insurance policies and the drawing up of wills advisable or not, and as the two were hastily making their departure, I recognized William Vogel to be the lawyer and Elting France the agent. I considered it a most unfavorable acquaintanceship, and was sorry to have to remember them as mockers of our cause. Soon after wre had left these two men, a Pierce Arrow came along from behind us, and at the direction of a gentleman in the back seat, stopped as it reached us. This gentleman, Abram Clark, as it proved to be, unconsciously put his foot in trouble when he asked if he could not help us by taking to the next town as many as he 16 THE PIONEER could carry. After a curt refusal from our leader, he left us, but I nevertheless felt grateful toward Abe for his intended courtesy. For the remainder of the day I did not see anyone whom I knew, but on the day following, as we were passing along a country road, I saw a familiar face. At first I could not place the person, but all at once I knew her to be my old friend Hannah Brown. Fortunately I had a chance to talk to Hannah for a few moments, and upon inquiring if she lived in the neighborhood, I found out that she had married a couple of years before and resided in a large farm house, which she pointed out to me. She said her sister, Anna, had also married and lived on a farm but a few miles distant. Hannah told me to be watchful as I entered the next town and I would see another graduate of the Class of ’14. Though we were all very dusty and tired when the church spires of a small village first came into view, I resolved to look for someone I had formerly known, as I had been directed to do. Our party had nearly reached the center of the village when a corpulent, merry-faced store keeper rushed from his place of business and welcomed us to the town in behalf of the citizens. I recognized him immediately as Douglas, and it was not long before I saw that he held the respect and esteem of all the citizens of the village. Douglas seemed very prosperously situated, and also very contented among the honest village folk. The next morning as we were taking our departure from our most hospitable friends in the village, Douglas told me I might see three other members of the Class of ’14 during the day as our path was near their homes. After we had gone a few miles, a young lady came out from a pretty little vine covered cottage near the road and was just passing us, when I recognized her to be Lillian lllenberg. As she was going in my direction for a little way, I had an opportunity of talking with her. She said that soon after she had graduated from Goshen High, she had gone to live with an aunt as a companion, and although she went back to Goshen occasionally, this place had become her permanent home. I was not surprised to see that Lillian had chosen this quiet life, for while at high school among her girl friends, she had seemed to prefer this same kind of life. As the next place was a large city where we had been asked to hold a meeting, we commenced to straighten ourselves, brush the dust off, and spruce up in general, though in truth I’ll have to confess we were pretty tired. A delegation met us just outside the city. The leader of this committee, a minister, introduced himself as the Reverend Ralph Pembleton, and sure enough, it was Ralph, of olden days. A more dignified minister or a more fitting leader of his flock there could not be. Ralph and I had a short conversation while some of the other members of my party were speaking, and when the time came for us to proceed on our hike, my old friend told us all that it would be a pleasure to him if he could aid our noble cause in any way. At the next block I saw a bill announcing for that afternoon the greatest ball game the city had ever witnessed. As I was always a baseball enthusiast, I glanced at the bill again to see who the contending teams were to be. They were the local players against McGraw’s second team. THE PIONEER 17 By the merest chance my eye fell upon the name of Karl Wehinger, as the right fielder of the New Yorkers, and it was with considerable pride that I thought of one of Goshen’s young men as promising material for the National League. At about noon the next day, we entered a beautiful residential town. We had not intended to stop here, but a very prominent man asked General Rosalie if she would not consent to speak at three from the front of his house. I did not think I knew this man, but when we saw him again in the afternoon I recognized him as Reginald Waldo, late of Campbell Hall. A lady told me that Reginald was a millionaire and the leading philanthropist of the place. I forgot to ask her if Reg gained his wealth by hard work or a legacy, but I had no fault to find with him when leaving time came, for his generosity was most effectively proved by his attitude toward us. When we were nearing Albany—I think I failed to mention before that the capital city was our destination—I found Alice and Mary supervising the recess hour in a large school. When I asked them what grades they taught, they both said the primary, and I was glad that it was so, for in that instance they would not be forced to exert their powers of bluffing to such a degree, as they had been compelled to do in Goshen High School. While we were talking together, Alice asked me if I had heard of the new position Edith Nash had just procured. When I enquired as to what it was, I was told that it was an office as private secretary to one of the New York Legislature’s most influential members. I was so glad to hear that Edith had attained success in her chosen occupation, for she certainly deserved to succeed. A call from General Rosalie returned me to my wits, and I hurried on with the rest, nevertheless heartily glad that this walk which we had all considered a “cinch” was nearly ended. The following morning we were met in Albany by the local suffrage club, and who should be the president and vice president of this organization but my old chums Marjorie and Marion. It cheered me a great deal to see that two of the brightest members of the Class of ’14 had and were exerting their influence for a cause so dear to me, and I had the fortune of being able to talk over old times and our former shcool life with them until three that afternoon. It was at this time that we were to meet a personal representative of the governor, and were to arrange with this representative for a time when we could see the governor. When Marion and Marjorie told me that they had heard this messenger was to be a person I had formerly known, I was all excitement to see who he might be. We had waited in a large reception room of the capitol for a half hour I guess, when in stepped an individual dressed in the latest fashion, a beaver hat, a rnona-cle, etc. I didn’t think it possible I had ever met such an important looking gentleman before, but when I heard his name in the introduction, I knew it was William Bennet, one of the leaders of Goshen High School spirit while he was at that place. William said he wished to assure us most certainly of his belief in our cause, and was charmed to add that he thought the governor was of the same opinion as he. I think the possibility of the suffrage 18 THE PIONEER question being accepted favorably in Albany, must have given me too great a jar, for my picture of this representative, which I had resolved to remember for a long time, vanished suddenly, and I awoke from my pleasant thoughts, disgusted at having even dreampt of being a suffragtte. P. Y. Junior Charge. Dear Juniors: Wisdom increases with age and learning. We Seniors, most of us, are older than you and have put behind us the hard year that is confronting you. And now, realizing the difficulties of your position, and also your need of good counsel, we are taking a little spare time to give you some kind words of parting advice. We have seen a few instances wherein some members of your class have refused to obey the commands of teachers. That is a bad policy and we advise strongly against it. The teacher is there to help you and nine times out of ten she will do so even though her aid may not be perceptible to young and inexperienced minds. Keep yourselves in harmony with your surroundings, and take what comes to you in a way that will do credit to your school and class. Always remember that you are an example to the three younger classes, and try to eclipse the class preceding you in your achievements. (Some things are possible but not at all probable.) “Let not ambition mock their useful toil” is a gem of language, and appropriate for too many Juniors who are wont to look down upon the members of the lower classes. And now, Juniors, let us say as we leave these halls forever, may you lead the social life of the school in a whirl of success- es and may you raise every standard to its excelsior. We leave you in the hope that all these things may be carried out, and the heartiest wish of every member of the Class of ’14 remains with you for the success of your every enterprise. R. W., Pres.

THE PIONEER 19 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION On October 7, 1913, a meeting of the student body was called for the purpose of electing the officers of the Athletic Association for the ensuing year. After a close run, the following officers were elected: President—Reginald Waldo. Vice President—Scott Osborne. Secretary—Howard Mather. Treasurer—Miss B. L. Ames. A report of the treasurer was read and accepted. On November 3, a meeting was called to plan for financing the association. On November 7, Miss Blanche Lyon, a lecturer and entertainer, appeared in the High School Auditorium, in behalf of the association. On November 8, a cake sale was held in what is now Ryerson’s meat market. These two occasions netted a nice sum, all of which was devoted toward our school athletics. “Noise.” Too young for music lessons yet, Is Marjorie Thompson, the faculty pet; But old enough to make a noise That no one else but her enjoys; For there’s only a few worse than she, Who do pound the piano keys. If dough is bread, is Waldo? BASKETBALL On October 16, a meeting was called for the election of officers of the basket ball team. Earl S. Van Demark was unanimously elected manager. The team practiced faithfully, and after several long drills the candidates for the team elected Harry Lewis as their captain. The boys practiced daily in the rear of the High School building, but as none of the owners of the many halls about the village would allow basket ball to be played in them, the work was worthless. This team, which was small but fast, journeyed to Monticello on the evening of Friday, December 5, where they met defeat in the hands of the Monticello High School team. The score was 54—20, the defeat being due to the fact that our opponents were larger, heavier and faster than us. The members of the team were: Harry Lewis, Edwin Marston, guards. Van Duzer Wallace, center. Scott Osborne, Wilkin Coleman, forwards. Robert Lewis, Reginald Waldo, substitutes. Lacking Essentials (?) Mary (trying to teach Ernest Tremper how to dance)—You would be a good dancer, “Tib,” but for two things. Tib—And what are they? Mary—Your feet. 20 THE PIONEER BASEBALL On Thursday, February 19, a meeting was called for the purpose of electing a manager of the baseball team. There were five candidates, from which Howard Mather was elected by a majority of 15 over his nearest competitor. Later on the candidates for the team elected Scott Osborne, our star pitcher, as their captain. Owing to the fact that there were no baseball grounds in the village, the boys were forced to practice and play wherever they could find a place to play one game, and then be evicted by the owners, all of whom happened to be unwilling to contribute toward the great national game. The season was opened at Chester with the Chester High School team. This was the first game of the Orange County Federal Interscholastic League, a league which had been formed among the High Schools of Goshen, Chester, Monroe, Warwick and Washingtonville. Our boys met their first defeat of the season at this game, the score being 8—4, in favor of Chester. This was the first time that the G. II. S. representatives had been on the field this season. The second game was at Washingtonville, where our boys were forced to play in the pouring rain for seven innings. The score was 8—2, in favor of the Red and Blue (G. H. S.) The third game was an exhibition game at Middletown, with the strong High School team of that place. As Middle-town was not in the league, they wanted to defeat Goshen High, as in previous years, but the score ended 5—4, in favor of Goshen. The fourth game was on the Cider Mill diamond, in this village, where Monroe tried to carry out their idea that they could defeat the G. H. S. representatives, but they found themselves at the small end of the score, which was 18—0. It was in this game that Scott Osborne, our faithful twirler, resumed his home-run slugging. The fifth game was in the rear of the High School building, a space just large enough to lay out an infield. A group of athletes from Warwick, known as the W. II. S. team, journeyed to this village, but went borne in the small end of the horn, which tooted 15—5, Goshen ahead. On May 13, an unlucky day to all baseball travelers, our team went to Middle-town, but was shut out by the score of 6—0. They reported the game as a nohit-no-run affair, but our players corraled 3 hits, two of which were made by our little centerfielder, Freddie Clayton. The fifth game in the Federal Interscholastic League was played on our diamond near the Interpines, at which time the Chester High School team, leaders of the league with a thousand per cent., tried to defeat us for the second time this season. The game was fast and exciting, Goshen winning by the score 7—3. The last game of the F. I. B. B. L. before this book went to press, was Monday, June 1, when Washingtonville succumbed to our mighty athletes by the score 20—2. This game gave Goshen High the lead in BASEBALL TEAM TRACK TEAM TEACHERS TRAINING CLASS THE PIONEER 21 the league, the standing being as follows: Washingtonville High Schoolaoin in n nu Won Lost Pc.

The team practiced faithfully, under the direction of Coaches Thomas Tuthill and Charles Coleman, and went into the Orange County Interscholastic Track Meet with 12 members. Most of the members were never in a meet before, but this fact did not make much difference. Our boys went on the track and represented this small village against the larger cities of Orange County, landing in second place with 38 points to their credit, among them being four firsts, one second, six thirds and three fourths. Fred Tie-man placed this school on the point table by securing fourth place in the mile run. Next came Harry Lewis, with third in the 100-yard dash, and then we added two more when Osborne finished third in the 220-yard dash. In the 880-yard run Harold Houston captured fourth place, while Roosa and Osborne finished third and fourth in the 220 low hurdles. Then we had the sixty-yard dash under our wing, Harry Lewis being the victor, but owing to the fact that two contestants, neither of whom secured a place, had a head start, the race had to be run over again. Being all out of breath, Lewis managed to get only third. Goshen High came through in the relay race with third place. Later came William Welsh, our premier athlete, who began his record breaking by raising the shot put record from 43 feet to 43 feet, 2 inches. This record was not allowed to stand as Welsh had used the official shot, which was under weight. Next our young athlete captured the discus throw, setting a new record of 137 feet, 9 inches, and later the hammer throw. Welsh also won the high jump, setting a new record of 5 feet, 10 inches. In this event Van Duzer Wallace captured third place. The points of the meet were distributed as follows: Middletown High School-------------------57 Goshen High School-----------------------38 Port Jervis High School------------------37 22 THE PIONEER Newburgh Free Academy______________32 Monroe High School_________________16 Montgomery High School_____________ 6 Washingtonville High School________ 0 Wax-wick High School_______________ 0 Highland Falls High School_________ 0 186 The individual cup was won by our premier athlete, William Welsh, who captured 20V£ points, among them being four firsts. The members of our marvelous track team were: Wayne Crosby, manager; Van Duzer Wallace, captain; Wm. F.

Reply to the Seniors. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one body of people to bow to another, much their inferiors, and even to take advice from them meekly, great ability is shown on the part of the supposed inexperienced ones in passing through the ordeal gracefully, peacefully and without malice. This is the task set for the Junior Class of T4 in accepting the kindly advice of their respected (?) elders. In so doing, since it is impossible to bear in mind all of the charge, we may without loss on our part disregard such petty warnings as not to throw paper wads, not to whisper, and the like. Our class will, however, do our best to remember the sad theme of the charge and we hope to profit by the Seniors’ mistakes. In closing our reply, we wish every member of the Class of T4, dame fortune’s smile and happiness. MARGARET PHILLIPS. DOROTHY PATTERSON. EMILY PEMBLETON. MARY C. COLEMAN. ELIZABETH SHARTS.
