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 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 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.
