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.

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.

8 THE PIONEER Christine Makuen has been very prominent in High School affairs. Through H. S. she has been at the head of her class and now holds the coveted position as valedictorian. Harold Houston, the good natured president of the student body, is one of our class members, of whom we are proud. He has taken active interest and part In all school affairs, especially in athletics. Charles Nolan having come to us from Hartford High became a member of our class in the beginning of the school year. He has studied in several schools, but finally decided upon old Goshen High as the best place to finish his High School education. Sarah Lockwood nearly became implicated in a tragedy early in the spring, for she (as Rose) fell in love at first sight. Fortunately she recovered and has been studying hard the latter part of the year. Helen Durland, the assistant editor, has been a very busy member of our class. She has spent her entire school life as a student in the Goshen schools. Although the girls' track team did not have a chance to show its ability, we are sure it would have come home with flying colors, for with Helen Durland as manager it could hardly have been otherwise. Our classmate, Murray Thompson, has gained much prominence on the baseball field, as a pitcher. He has obtained his entire High School education in Goshen and is now a member of our Class of 16.
