RUTAN, MARGARET PHILLIPS Society Editor Literary INTRODUCTION At the close of our school life in Goshen High School, we the Senior Class of 1915, are presenting to the public this eleventh edition of the “ Pioneer.” We have tried to make this edition not only a little different from previous editions, Hut if possible to make it a little better, and we hope that it will meet with your hearty approval. We take this opportunity of acknowledging thanks to the many GOSHEN, X. Y., June, 1915. friends of the school who have so generously aided us in all our undertakings and have so willingly granted us their patronage. To the teachers we are most deeply indebted as it is largely through their persistent efforts that we have reached our dignified position as seniors. We grant them our most bumble thanks and bid them adieu. Editor. 4 THE PIONEER Class Roll. Howard E. Mather________President Margaret E. Phillips___Vice Pres.

THE PIONEER Howard E. Mather, the renowned President of our class, dwells in the great metropolis known as Westtown. Mr. Mather has been attending G. H. S. for the past three years. He has filled the office as manager of our champion baseball team, without fault for the past two years, and has also held the high office of secretary of the student body. For two successive terms he has been elected President of the Orange County Inter-School Baseball League. This year he further distinguished himself by capturing one of the I). A. R. essay prizes. We feel that if he works as diligently in the future, as he has in the past three years, he is bound to succeed, and without doubt will be considered the greatest lawyer of his day. Margaret Phillips, who has filled the office of Vice President with remarkable ability, has been in G. H. S. four years, and has toiled so ardently that she is now salutator-ian of our class. She showed her ability on the stage by taking the pait of Lady Noeline in our Senior play. But it is when “ Marnie” takes up a racquet and steps out upon a tennis court that she shines brightest. In 1913 she won the H. S. championship at her favorite sport. Last fall after playing exceedingly fine tennis on our H. S. T. team she () THE IT ON E Eli again won the H. S. championship, and in so doing captured a handsome silver cup. She is an ardent suffragette and we hope that she will soon win the vote. Arthur Buser, our secretary, is also the class flirt. We can safely say that no boy in the H. S. is more admired by the members of the gentler sex than our “ Adam.” Adam came to us three years ago from Brooklyn. He has toiled faithfully and passed all his examinations. When not flirting he engages in the gentle pursuit of agriculture, and we heartily believe that ere long he will be one of the leading farmers of our community. Ralph Seacord, our trusted treas-urer, came to us from Hampton-burgh three years ago. We all love him, not only because he is the class treasurer, but because he has such a genial disposition. He has worked very diligently and has carried away all the honors in the mathematics department of the High School. Ralph was also active in dramatics. He played the part of Orts in the Senior play very effectively. Although he spends much of his time in studying, he ardently believes that all work and no play makes Ralph a dull boy. We are certain that his amusing cupel's in the study hall have been enjoyed bv everyone save the members or the faculty. THE PIONEER We recognize in Ralph a genius of the highest type, but we fear that he may soon fall a victim to some lovely female. In Edwin Marston you see one of the celebrities of Goshen High School. Edwin, otherwise known as “Ed,” is the athlete of this school. In the interscholastic track meet this year he got first place in the shot put and the discus throw, and second place in the hammer throw. He surely would have gotten the individual cup if it hadn’t been for his shoes, which he lost at the beginning of the hurdles. Edwin has also won renown as a tennis player. He has carried off quite a few cups, among which was the cup for the boy’s championship of the High School. He not only gained laurels in the field of athletics, but also in the field of acting. In the Senior play he brought the house down as lie acted the part of Monsieur De-Grival. Marston seems to be a “ jack of all trades” for he also excelled in oratory. He carried off the second prize in the prize speaking contest in the High School. y V s Laura Rutan is another celebrity of the High School. Everything she enters in she carries off the prize. The prize for the best essay on “ The Work of the Constitu- THE PIONEER 8 tional Convention,” given by the 1). A. R., was won by Laura. She also is “ quite some actress,” as was shown in the Senior piay in which she played the part of Wil-helmina. What Laura Rutan certainly stars in is public speaking. She captured the first prize in the annual speaking contest of the High School. Laura Rutan, the best scholar of the Senior class, has been rewarded for her labors by being the valedictorian of the class. This is Dorthy Patterson, better known as “ Dot.” She hails from Central Valley and is the belle of the High School. She joined the Senior Class of 1915 last year and was a very acceptable addition. “ Dot,” is a very active member of the High School Y. W. C. A., being its champion basketball player during the past year. She has shown such a tendency to talk to the boys during the 3d Period that Miss Bucklyn has frequently been obliged to call her to order. We hope that hereafter “ Dot” will give up her frivolous ways and settle down to the happy life which is before her. I ! Wayne L. Crosby has been in the class ever since there was the faintest suggestion of such a class. THE PIONEER 9 He lias always been a prominent person in school life. We almost lost him last year, when ambition moved him to try to graduate from the High School in three years. In Junior year Wayne filled the office of manager of the track team with great ability. He has always been a faithful student and before him lies a successful career. Hannah C. Brown came from the great metropolis of Hamptonburg to G. H. S. five years ago. For the past year she has toiled so industriously and successfully in the Teachers’ Training Class that undoubtedly she will become the most skillful teacher of her time. Franklin Schriver, our Bull Moose, drives up every day from the delightful little hamlet known as Chester. He takes great pleasure in being late, and we have often heard of his wit in the physics class. “ Scrib” gained a world-wide reputation for his ability to speak in public, when last year he not only won first prize in the Local Town Speaking Contest, but also captured first prize in the Inter-scholastic. Speaking Contest. We expect to hear ere long that ho has become the leading executive officer of his home town. 10 THE PIONEER William L. Nash, better known as “ Bill,” hails from New Hampton. He entered the class in Freshman year. Last year he was a member of our famous baseball team. During his first three years in G. H. S. “ Bill” was quite prominent in school life, but his achievements of Senior year have overshadowed all those of his former career. His interpretation of the roll of Barrinton, Viscount Litterlv, in the Senior play, is worthy of high recognition. He is the only member of our class that took the commercial course. He may start out with a splendid position in some bank in this county, but he is surely destined for higher things. Anna Brown, who lives in the Town of Hamptonburg, came to Goshen High School several years ago. She has worked hard and faithfully with her studies and has taken an active part in the work of the Noon Hour Group Y. W. C. A. We have lately heard that it is Anna’s ambition to become a trained nurse and we hope that she will succeed at her profession as well as she has at her studies. THE PIONEER 11 YanDuzer Wallace started his career way back in the grades where he always stood near the top of his class. During his four long years of H. S. study, he has proved himself a remarkable student. He was a crack player on last year’s basketball team and this year has not only played on our renowned tennis team, but has also been one of our “ star” athletes. We are certain that in the future his name will be sung far and near as his admiration for a certain member of the Junior Class has been during the past year. Scott Osborn, our famous pitcher, is so averse to having his picture taken that we have been unable to secure his photograph for our class paper. He joined the class in first year High School. He has always been prominent in school activities. He left us for a while in second year. During his absence he attended school at Kingston and made that place famous. Junior and Senior year he was captain of the championship baseball team. Also in the last two years of high school he was a prominent track man, being especially noted for his excellency as a broad jumper. He has not as yet received his calling, but we aie suie that his future will be a triumphful march to fame. Class Prophecy. Prologue— Act I. Editor: “ Say, do you know we ain’t got a class prophecy?” 1st Senior: “ Yes, ain’t it fierce!” Act II. Editor: “ Say, do you know we ain’t got a class prophecy?” 2nd Senior: “ Yes, ain’t it fierce. ’ ’ Act III. Editor: “ Say, do you know we ain’t got a class prophecy?” 3rd Senior: “ Yes, aint it fierce. Here, write out my German for me and I’ll make one!” Prophecy. While I was thinking of this terrible catastrophe of having no class prophecy during the first study period the other morning, things began to look very queer. 12 THE PIONEER The desks whirled around, the air looked blue, the pupils all floated out of the window, “ mirabile dictu” and I was left alone in that vast study ball. Wonderful visions appeared to me. 1 seemed to see H. Mather, clad in a judicial robe and wig, presiding over the Supreme Court of the U. S. A. He had become known all over the world and his decisions were as well known as those of John Marshall. This scene vanished and 1 saw next Margaret Phillips, waving a yellow banner, leading a band of militant suffragettes against the Capitol City, Washington. (I hope that my eyes deceived me in this). I then saw Arthur Buser, a man of middle age, coming home after a hard day’s work in his office, welcomed by many silvery voices, for he was living enshrined in domestic happiness. My next vision was rather odd. I saw something red appear above the horizon (I could not believe my eyes), and as it came near I recognized my old friend, Ralph Sea-cord. He was now a prosperous farmer, and was running on the Prohibition ticket for the office of Hamptonburg Chicken Inspector. I looked in the opposite direction and behold, I saw Dorothy Patterson, very much to my surprise a typical old maid, surrounded by her cats and parrots and seemingly to be enjoying life. Then I saw Scott Osborn, naturally with his hands in his pockets and chewing a wad of gum, on the mound pitching away the game for the Giants. This scene slowly faded and in its place appeared William Nash, who had prospered greatly in a mercantile business. At last I saw Frank Sehriver, a professor of Latin, in a new University established by Roosevelt as a memorial to the Progressive party. Another vision appeared to me, that of Wayne Crosby, now a prosperous salesman, selling Ford machines at $10 a doz. (Cash $9.98). The vision again changed and me thought 1 saw Edwin Marston. From his appearance all had gone well with him, and from all inquiries I found that he was now the editor and publisher of a newspaper in one of the large cities. The scene changed and I saw Anna Brown presiding peacefully over her quiet home. Then I saw Hannah, a typical teacher of the district school, with her little flock busily engaged about, her. THE PIONEER 1 was about to see my own fate, when I felt a gentle pull at the roots of my hair, and I awoke to find myself in the clutches of Fraul-lein Porter, and being reprimanded for taking a nap during the study period. 1,. A. R., ’15. The Minisink Prize Essays. This year, as in several years past, the Minisink Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution offered prizes of five dollars each for the two best essays on some historical subject. The subject chosen this year was: “ The Work of the National Const i tutional Con vent ion.” It was on Washington’s Birthday that we, with a number of representatives of Minisink Chapter, assembled in the High School Auditorium to hear the report on the essays. The Chapter was very much pleased in the interest shown and praised very highly all the essays which had been submitted. Minutes seemed like hours as the time approached for the announcement of the two winners. The prizes were awarded to Laura Rutan, who had signed her essay “ Billy,” and Howard Mather, who chose “ Judge” as his non de plume. 13 We certainly feel very grateful to Minisink Chapter for the interest they have shown in the High School by offering these generous prizes. A. A. B., ’15. The Senior Class Play. “ The Amazons,” a farcial romance by Pinero, was successfully presented by the Class of ’15 on Nov. 29, 1914, in Music Hall. The play is characterized by delicate humor and deals with the mannish woman in a gentle spirit of satire and whimsical mood of romance. The Class selected it with the idea that it would be an appreciated change from the comedies which have formerly been given by the Senior classes. The cast of characters was as follows: Andre, Count DeGrivaLE. Marston Galfred, Earl of Tweenwayes V. D. Wallace Barrington, Viscount Utterly W. Nash Rev. Roger Minch in____F. Sell river Fitton (a gamekeeper)_A. A. Buser Youatt (a servant)-----A. A. Buser Orts (a poacher)-------R. Seacord Miriam, Marchioness of Castle- jordan______________D. Patterson 14 THE PIONEER Her daughters— Lady Noeline Belturbet M. Phillips Lady Welhelmina Belturbet L. Rutan Lady Thomasin Belturbet E. Pembleton “ Sergeant” Slniter__S. Lockwood 8:15 approaches, here, past, then 8:20 and 8:25 slips by and still the people come in. At last at 8:30 the inflow of human beings diminishes and it is decided that the curtain shall rise. By the efforts of Miss Bucklyn and several other friends of the (‘lass the wood scene which greets our eyes is indeed a credit to any amateur committee. It is laid in the “ Tangle” of Overcote Park near London. Hemlock bushes, the offspring of the fallen monarch at the side of the scene, cast a delightful shade about the clearing which is surrounded by a thick hedge broken by a rustic gate, and calls us back to Shakespeare’s Forest of Arden with which we finally associate Lady Noeline and Litterlv as Rosalind and Orlando. We have just noted these details when the first chapter appears, Youatt, an aged servant in livery, opens the gate for the Reverend Roger Minchin. Youatt, who has grown gray in the service of the family, is held by them in proper esteem and carries his part off nobly. Roger Minchin, a middle-aged minister of the Gospel, care free and hearty in manner, catches our enthusiasm at the start. He is an old friend of the Belturbets and feels a heavy responsibility concerning the daughters of Lady Cas-t.lejordan, of which he proceeds to rid himself at the appearance of Miriam. Miriam is the mother of three beautiful girls and in accordance with her late husband’s wishes is raising them as boys. As she has no son her husband’s title has been given to her nephew, Lord Litterlv. Minchin censures her for raising the now young women as men but fails to alter her course. Lady Noeline, the oldest of the three sisters, carries an air of one whom is used to being obeyed. She has just returned from London where her boyishness asserted itself in adventure in masculine attire, in which she lost the Belturbet ring and is worrying about the outcome of the adventure. I might say here that her mother heard of it, went to London, and in her absence “ love laughed at locksmiths.” After the ring has been returned Noeline displays as many THE PIONEER 15 traits of character and tricks to taunt her lover, who has found the ring, as Rosalind in the forest disguised as a boy is playing with Orlando. Lady Wilhelmina, a quiet gentle girl, is the most effiminate of the sisters, her femininity in contrast with the manliness in manners and dress of her sisters, together with her skill as a musician and singer, wins our appreciation and admiration. Lady Thomasin, the youngest of the group, a tomboy if there ever was one, seems to find chief joy in riding, hunting and using slang and consequently shocking Reverend Minchin. “ Sergeant” Shu ter, the severe physical director and chaperon of the trio, keeps the audience in laughter with the contrast of her severeness and the meek susceptibility of Letitia Ann Shuter. DeGrival and Tweenwayes are the next to appear and will ever be remembered as the stars of the (‘veiling. DeGrival, an animated Frenchman, full of confidence in his personal prowess and secure in the fact that he is “ English to the backbone. French by birth, yes. But English in his appearance, manner, voice,” although his appearance, manners and pronuncia- tion are decidedly French. His love for Lady Wilhelmina is unbounded and it is for the purpose of proposing for the third and last time to her that we find him breaking into the park. His sense of humor is adequate to meet many difficult situations emerging with honor still bright while Tweeny, his comrade in love, who has as great a lack of it, is left in the lurch. Galfred, the fragile Earl of Tweenwayes, of a most insignificant personality were it not for his haughtiness of tone and bearing, makes an amusing contrast by his constant references to his ancestors’ glories to his own personal achievements. Indeed, the greatest of which is his enormous capacity for injuring himself. He also inherits with his glories a most delicate constitution; his painful attacks of cramps so catches one’s sympathy that before we realize it we hear ourselves groaning with him. Barrington, Viscount Litterly, stands a marked contrast to “ Tweeny,” an athlete, with an air of indolence. It is he who has found the Belturbet ring and in spite of Noeline’s attire at the time recognized her as a girl and fell in love with her. Through the ring he attains his desire to meet the THE PIONEER 16 owner, little dreaming that they were related, and declare his love. He encounters many obstacles but his resourcefulness in circumvention them wins out and the day is saved for all. Fitton is the gamekeeper of the park and displays a love for money but less for truth. He redeems himself, however, by his bravery in his battles with Orts, a poacher. Orts in a forbidding looking ruffian who is the “ soul support of his mother,” and seemingly supports her with the money made from poaching, for which he is notorious. Orts is the last character to appear and after the assurance that the outcome will be favorable for the lovers, the curtain drops and the play is over, for those who have attended but not for us. It will ever be a happy spot in our lives which we shall look back upon with pleasure, the time when we came to know each other better and to realize what a glorious class our class of ’15 is. W. L N., ’15. Speaking Contest. The tenth annual local prize speaking contest which was held in the High School Auditorium on Friday, May the 21st, was one of the best in the history of the school, showing the exceptional ability on the part of both the trainers and the pupils. After the usual long debate the judges finally came to a decision. The first prize for girls was awarded to Laura Rutan, and the first prize for boys to Jacob Roosa. The second prize for girls was given to Alice Gott, and the second prize for boys was given to Edwin Marston. The prizes were donated by Principal M. C. Smith, Jos. Merritt, Dr. II. Thompson and Geo. F. Gregg. On Monday evening, May 21, the interscholastic contest was held in the High School Auditorium. There were only two schools represented, Warwick and Goshen. The three judges were from Goshen, Chester and Warwick, who decided as follows: First prize for girls, Miss Higels, of Warwick. First prize for boys, Jacob Roosa, of Goshen. F. A. S., ’15.

Dear Juniors: Once again a class has attained that rank in scholarship that permits them to depart with Seals of the school’s approval. As we are thus departing, beloved Juniors, it is our duty as well as privilege to give you a brief warning of the dangers of divers sorts which will beset your path, through which we have thus far successfully passed; and to charge you, from our superior learning and greater experience, to profit by our shining example. In the first place, there is that dread disease which you must guard against if you would be suc- cessful, sometimes called constitutional physical lassitudiness, but more commonly known as laziness. Then there is that desire, which seizes so many, especially of those who sit in the rear seats and are known as Seniors, to throw something at an innocent dreamer. Then, there is also that tendency to talk to some one on the other side of the room, and so to do as to gain the attention of the entire room. Against all of these and many more temptations which will assail you as you take the places which we recently so capably filled, we warn you. Most important of all .we charge you, our successors, to uphold those high standards of scholarship and that consciousness of school spirit which we have thus far so nobly advanced; and not to permit the ideals set forth to be lowered one iota. Finally, laying aside all frivolity and every shadow of “ funniness,” we do earnestly entreat you to be loyal to G. H. S.; to be square in your interschool relationship that our school may be looked up to as the very epitome of justice and fellowship as well as an institution unexcelled in scholarship. HOWARD E.

Dear Seniors: Now, as the time draws nigh when we shall no longer hear your familiar footsteps nor the words of wisdom, which have so constantly fallen from your lips, we begin to realize what a great responsibility rests upon us. We Juniors will strive to avoid that dread enemy, “ constitutional lassitudiness,” although we often wonder how any one of your class could have contracted that disease, against which we have been so carefully warned. Many times we have been unceremoniously aroused from our studies by the contented snores proceeding from one of your dignified members in the rear corner of the room. We will earnestly endeavor to uphold the high standards so nobly sustained by you Seniors and to promote school spirit in every possible instance. Now in closing, worthy Seniors, let it be said that we as Juniors will seriously consider all your admonitions and that as a result of your advice we will next year be able to accomplish that which will make old G. II. S. proud of her class of T6. Furthermore we extend to you our most sincere wishes for unbounded success upon the path of life. I. H. S., Pres. ’16. TEACHERS’ TRAINING CLASS TRACK TEAM THE PIONEER 23 ATHLETICS The High Athletic Association. The High School Athletic Association has been organized for three years, and has charge of all athletic activities. As a result of the election held last fall the following officers were elected: President—Scott Osborne. Vice-President—Harold Houston. Secretary-—Fi anklin Schriver. Treasurer—Miss Scott. Tennis. Tennis has proved to be more successful and has aroused more enthusiasm among the students of the High School than any other sport. As soon as the school was running smoothly after the opening of the fall term, tennis became very popular. Early in October a tournament was arranged with Warwick. The first series w-as played in Warwick. The second w-as played in Goshen. The Goshen team won three out of live matches played in each series. Later in the month, w-e played the Monroe High School. Of the ten games of this tournament, G. H. S. won nine. Probably the biggest event in tennis was the Phillips’ tournament. This tournament was played among the students of the H. S. for trophies donated by Mr. J. S. Phillips. Tn the finals of this tournament Margaret Phillips defeated Elizabeth Phillips, and Edwin Marston defeated Harry Marston, thereby proving themselves to be the best players in the High School. The tennis team is very much indebted for the success of the season to Dr. Sewaid and Mr. J. S. Phillips, who very generously granted us the privilege of using their excellent courts for the series plaved in Goshen. A. V. D. W., ’15. Members of the High School Tennis Team: Ed. Marston, Captain A. VanDuzer Wallace, Mgr. M. Phillips Ellen Coates Elizabeth Phillips Janet Coates H. France H. Marston Lucy Wallace Track Meet. In the early spring several of the enthusiastic athletes began to train faithfully and at the County Meet were amply paid for their trouble. THE PIONEER 24 In the 0. C. I. A. A. Meet, which was held at the Fair Grounds, Goshen made a very creditable showing, losing second place to Newburgh by only one-third of a point. The members of the track team with the points they won are as follows: J. Roosa, Capt. ____________________5 H. Houston, Mgr. __________________3 4 E. Marston _______________________13% S.

In the early part of March at a meeting called for the purpose of electing a manager of the baseball team, Howard E. Mather was unanimously re-elected to that position. When the hearty support of the school was assured the team again entered the Orange County Inter-School League and at the present writing stand a most excellent chance of winning the County Championship. The first game of the season was played at Warwick and was one of the most exciting games played this season, being barely won in the ninth inning. Score 6-5. Our next victory was over Mid-dletov n and proved an .easy one, giving G. H. S. the victory by a score of 12-3. Then Walden fell to our boys in a double-header. Florida withdrew from the League leaving the field to Goshen by two forfeitures. Then came the fatal trip to Otis-ville and a reversal of the score against G. H. S. for the first time in the season. G. II. S. defeated Middletown High three games out of a series of five. In the two finals of the series they scored shut-outs against the veteran warriors of the M. II. S. Score 2-0 and 7-0. The line-up of the team is as follows: Raymond Richner, catcher. Scott Osborn, pitcher. Lester Roosa, 1st base. Fred Clayton, 2d base. Murray Thompson, shortstop. Harry Lewis, 3d base.

Boys and girls who go to school don t want to furnish any houses. But we are “Casting our bread on the waters.’ I hese young ladies and young gentlemen will soon leave school, then there will be a courtship, a marriage, then a house to furnish. We can do the trick, with up to the minute goods, as we have by far the largest store in this part of the State—seven stories, 50x100, nearly an acre ot floor space—filled with Period Furniture, 10,000 worth of Rugs, all sizes, and everything in proportion. Send us any one who wishes to furnish a cottage or a mansion. We will do the rest. THE CRAWFORD FURNITURE CO. CRAWFORD BUILDING KING STREET MIDDLETOWN. N. Y.
