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.

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

THE PIONEER 7 Janet Coates has progressed through the various and laborious stages of High School until she now holds the honored position as member of the Senior Class of '16. She is very fond of putting on book covers, or anything else relating to “glue. Howard Manchester, our great weight thrower, before coming to Goshen attended several schools in different parts of the State, so you see he is a man of |j wide experience. William Ehlers, better known as “Pop, has always attended a school of high standard, for he has studied in the Goshen institutions of learning. During his last year he has been a tower of strength to the track team. Mildren’s Taft's home is1 in the renowned hamlet of Chester, where she formerly went to school. We do not think she is any relation to the Honorable Billy, but she is fully as fond of exercise as he. Anne Sutherland, one of our members, started upon the path to knowledge in the primary and has since been with us on our way to graduation. She (as Julia) caused so much trouble in the Smith family. Herman France, after attending school in California and Massachusetts, came to Goshen. He has always had a high scholastic record in his class. He has spent much time in H. S. debates and mock trials. We wish him great success as a mechanical engineer.
