4 THE PIONEER GLASS POEM A teacher said to a faculty friend, “Just look at the class of ’16, We’re sorry their brilliant career is to end. They’re the finest class we have seen.” The class boasts a president wise and good. She shone in the Senior Class play. Talk about acting!—she certainly could. She’s a perfect wonder they say. From Golden Hill comes Harry M., Who wallops the tennis ball. As a hustling vice-president he’s a gem. But he frisks in the study hall. Their band contains a secretary, Florence M. Hinchman, by name. She writes many stories bright and airy. And some day will be known to fame. In a nice big black “flivver’’ from Unionville way Comes treasurer. Warren S. He treats the whole high school to gum. they say. But no one objects, we guess. Janet was Mrs. Billetdoux In the play of the Senior Class; She’s also a cut up, a suffragette, too. Now, what do you think of that lass? The editor of this “Pioneer’’ Is Houston, the shining light. He’s great in athletics (Let’s give him a cheer). And as Smith in the play was just right. Next comes Christine, the bright valedic. Who won a D. A. R. prize. As Miss Juliette Smith she sure was quite “chic” And made us all open our eyes. In this school of ours there’s a girls track team. Whose captain is Ellen Coates. From things that have happened it surely would seem That on a front seat she dotes. Harold Gillespie, known better as “Glue,” Is a dancer of some renown. As an actor also some credit is due. But he plays baseball like a clown. Chester sends to us Mildred Taft. We wonder if she’s kin to “Billy.” When we asked her, why, she only laughed. And said, “Why, aren’t you silly!”

INTRODUCTION ANI) GREETING. Another school year has passed. Once again a class has attained that rank which entitles its members to the honored position of Seniors. As a climax to our High School life, and as a remembrance in future years, our class presents this twelfth edition of the “Pioneer. We have worked hard in our studies during the past year and have endeavored to make our school life more pleasant by an occasional social gathering. The spirit of friendship and co-operation has been cultivated to a greater extent than formerly and. if we have been the means of creating a better or more deeply rooted school spirit, we are sincerely glad. We are grateful to all, who have in any way aided us, and to all who have been interested in our class. To our teachers especially do we owe much for their untiring efforts to make us winners when perhaps, we at times seemed indifferent or unappreciative. To the public, to our friends and patrons we, the Class of ’16, extend our most hearty greetings. EDITOR. CALENDAR. Baccalaureate Sermon, Methodist Church, June 25. Junior-Senior Picnic. June 30.

THE PIONEER 5 A cute little lad with curly black hair, Is Herman W. France. He talks at each class meeting, rainy or fair, Until we're all ready to prance. Mechanicstown gives to us Alta Toepp. (She arrives in a trolley car). In Geometry problems she well can cope And in Caesar they say she’s a star. There is a girl with dimples two. Who was “Julia” the cute little maid. That she was an actress is perfectly true. She put Marguerite Clark in the shade. Manchester is a husky lad, He can put the shot a mile. Throwing the hammer is also a fad, He can throw it from Hudson to Nile. A new comer to the noble tribe Is Charles Aloysuis Nolan. A knowledge of French he loves to imbibe. Suppose his French book was stolen! Another one of the great athletes Is William, known better as “Pop.” He helps them to score in the class track meets, And brings them up on the top. That funny cook lady in “Why Smith Left Home” Was Helen, of D. A. R. fame, And we think, that as over life's pathway she’ll roam, As a reformer she’ll make a great name. A girl who giggles most all the time Is Sarah (or Rose in the play). About here it's hard to make a good rhyme; But she's a mighty nice girl they all say. Now don't you acree with us, faculty friend, In praising that class of ’16? We wish them all success without end, And may they by fame be seen. F. M. H. '16 A. S. G. '16
