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

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!”

6 THE PIONEER Our honored President, Alice Gott, started her education at Miss Gedney's private school. Due to her exceptional knowledge she was allowed to skip the eighth grade. She has attained great executive ability in conducting the numerous Senior meetings. Warren, Sayer, who drives his car in from West-town every day, has had the important job of keeping Miss Kellogg’s proteges in good humor for the last two years. Incidentally he has had charge of the vast amount of money belonging to the class. Shortly after shedding h curls, Harry Marston entered the public school. Upon seeing a teacher the first time he became frightened that he made bee-line for home and as result has grown scarcel more than an inch a year Like our President, our Vice- President, also sk the eighth grade. He been prominent in athletics, both in tennis and on the track team. Ellen Coates became a member of the fifth grade in the Noah Webster. She has been exceedingly industrious ever since, so industrious, in fact, that she now holds down a front seat. Recently her ambitions turned toward athletics, when she was elected captain of the girls’ track team. Our Secretary, Florence Hinchman, started her education under the instruction of private teachers. Since then she has been a student of which G. H. S. has been proud. She likes her studies very much, so in order never to miss any precious moments from recitation she always is present on time. Harold Gillespie has been busy, very busy, of late in hunting up ads for the Pioneer. He is especially skillful in throwing notes. Perhaps he acquired this skill in playing baseball.
