PROPERA VIVERE ET SBIGULUS DIES SINGULAS VITAS PUTA Make haste to live, and consider each day a life. Published by Class of 1S59 -2- FOREWORD At Goshen-High School, we have spent many happy and joyous days together--days which hold an inestimable amount or tender feeling: for us now that we are upon our vocational callings in life. We have made many friends and acquaintances from wmm we are now very reluctant to part and whom we are still much more reluctant to forget. With this in mind and following the precedent set by the graduating classes which have genu before us, we, the present staff of the Senior Sulky, have decided to make this a student volume, which will servo, in the future, to revive those fond memories of pleasant and delightful days spent at 3-oshen High.

Roe Claire Burque -5- CLASS HISTORY Let us turn back the clock to September, 1926, when a group of about twenty-five happy pupils are anxious to start that adventurous journey through school. Twenty-five happy children all patiently waiting for Miss Allen, our first teacher, to give the first lessons. Of that group there are still eleven of us left who have gone straight through school making many friendships. This includes six girlsV Shirley Burnett, Anna Hegele, Helen Prosser, Marion Smith, Jean Johnson, and Marjorie Baldwin; and five boys: Robert Farnum, Charles MclJeiece, James McNeiece, Walter Moran, and Coates Remer. After three eventful years wo were joined by Alice Walsh and Rita Hingerty who came from Garr Institute. Our Little Sylvia Markowitz came all the way from Wow York City to join the Class that same year. In the fifth grade one of our star basketball players, Helen Loyas, came from Durlandville. Our Class artist, Marjorie Van Dyke, joined us that same year from the Sayer Street School. Our Class treasurer, Raymond Schwarz, came from tho O'Neil Mine .School, Monroe, New York. Also that same year came our star athlete. Tommy Lane, from New York City, and our Class pride, Ted Wahl, who journeyed here all the way from Housatonic, Massachusetts. Ann McClean also joined that year, only to leave us in 1956 to go to Broadlea from whence she returned in 1938. In our sixth year of school we had three additions to the rapidly growing’ group. Etta Fowler, another basketball star, came from New Hampton; John Connor, another star athlete, from Garr Institute; and Edward Cheche, our G. 0. President, came from Goshen School District 9. June Holcombe, another basketball player, journeyed from Bootai Lakes School, 3ooten, New Jersey, to join us in the seventh grade, Frank Littner also came that year from Gates School. During the eighth year wo had no additions to the Class, but each and everyone of us were working hard to earn money for our trip to Now York. At this time, June Holcombe, Shirley Burnett, Jean Johnson, and Thomas Lane showed their dramatic ability, acting in the eighth grade operetta, The H. M. S. Pinafore, On May 31 of this year, Theodore Wahl won the American Legion Medal. Upon entering high school, we had eleven more students join our Class; Maragaret Bonauto, our G. 0. Secretary, Rose Fllipow ski, Loretta Sundstrom, and Frank Bonauto, our Class President for four years, who all came from Garr Institute. Regina Weiss Joinedus from Now York City. Jennie Zielen3ki, our G. 0. Treasurer, came from Pellet's Island. Virginia Vavricka, our Class Secretary for the past two years, came from the Lower Road School. Carolyn Peeso, our 6— CLASS HISTORY Class Actress,” came from Pelham. Robert Milburn came from the Goshen Hills School. Vernon Keyes and Alton Schmueck joined our Class that year. During our Sophomore year, we had no additions to the Class. By that time we were quite used to high school and were beginning to act more like high school students. In our third year of high school, there were five more students who entered our now large Class. Margery Carey, another artist, c ' me from Middletown. David Pardy, Clark Wahl, and Helen McGowan also joined our Class that year. All through the year, we were working hard to earn money to finance our Senior trip. During this our last year of school, five students were left from the Class before us. They v’ere: Edna Clark, Henry helhoski, C1 Ja Gillespie, Louis Shesa, and John Murnhy. All during the first half of this year, ve vere working to obtain more money for our senior trip. During Easter vacation, we rent on that long-waited trio and had such a good time that none of us will ever forget th. four days we spent in Boston. Just as our school life comes to an end, so does our Class history. All of us have made friends during the twelve years at school, and many of them will last for life. Now as we are about leave school life and start in a new life, we know that our best days are those that have been spent in school. IN MEKORIAK to DANIEL FARLEY -7- ACTIVITIES Senior Prom The first event in the Senior year of the class of ’39 was the annual Senior Prom. The Junior Prom the year before had set such f standard of excellence that the various committees had a difficult task co o iuai it. November 25 was set for the event. Little di anyone dream that one of the worst snow storms of the year vjov'. bury us in over eighteen Inches of snow on that very day ! The decoration committee did a splendid Job with the ovt fitting of the auditorium as a boat with strings of many-h u o '. pennants and nautical scenes along the walls. Heinie Smith and nine -y 1 see band furnished the music. Despite the adverse wna-r.e. '.■’re d.-o’.i: was a social, as well as a financial, success. Sport Dance On January 27, the Senior class presented a Soort Dance, wit.1 the ;nu8ic of the Memphis Four. Even though the class made onl;1 ' I profit on this dance, all who attended enjoyed the musi' and dancing. Card Party :r,lia Senior Card Party was held February 10 in the school auditorium. It seemed the weather was Dlotting against the Senior? aa-ain. for the evening was very stormy with accompanying cold and rain. Desoit?. this obstacle, and the fact that the Coshen basket a t-.-av. pCa'O.u ;--.n out-of-town game that night, the profit to the cl's ■ v’l.e Cfu. ty . Pr'r.i.s were awarded to the highest scorer at each bri 3c, table and other prizes went to the top-ranking pinochle players. Senior Play As each Senior looks back over the year's activities, the Play. Happy-Go-Lucky, is remembered as the most outstanding class event The highly-talented c-st of students played to standing room only-The amazing success of the play stands as a tribute to the hard work of the stellar erst, Mrs. Diver, the director, the committee of selection, and each Senior who helped in selling tickets. The three-act comedy told the story t a novelties manufacturer,, his happy-go-lucky son and the attempts to form a merger with a r v? _ manufacturer. The profit of $80.00 was a deciding factor in makl.n. the trip to Boston a reality. Senior Benefit Movie Mr. Hathaway, manager of the Central Theatre, made the Seniors a glorious offer to give them a large profit on tickets sold by class. -8- ACTIVITIES Moreover, he gave a fine picture, The Duke of West Point, for the benefit attraction The class realized a profit of over $20.00 on this movie. The story told of a young cadet(Tom Brown) prominent in athletics but who enjoyed breaking rules of discipline. Through a misunderstanding he is silenced by classmates for breaking the honor code. Finally he is cleared of the charges in time to win a football game for Army. Basketball G-ame When it was known that, the Seniors needed a great deal more money to go on their trip to Boston, the village basketball l gue came to the rescue. The final play-off for the championship was held for the benefit of the Senior class. Members of the t earns even sold a great many tickets assuring a large profit which in turn gave the Seniors the necessary funds for the trip. The Senior class remains much indebted to the Village League for this final boost on the Boston trip. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Goshen Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized last June with seven members of the Class of 1938. They were: John Gehagan, Doris Haley, Catherine Lewis, Helen Ma.bee, John Meehan, Jack Peeso, and Harry Stewart. Not more than fifteen per cent of a graduating class may be elected to membership. Admission to the society is on the basis of highest average during the years of high school, plus a oopular voto of the student body on the other three qualities of leadership, service, and character. The vote on tnese three dualities is tabulated and averaged by the faculty committee, which at present consists of: Mrs. Marion Williamson, Chairman, Miss Leola Clement, George Gray, and William Camoaigne. Seven new members were Inducted in the Society this year. -hey are: Frank Bonauto, Margaret Bonauto, Virginia Vavrlcka, Theodore Wahl, ond Jennie Zielenski of the Class of 1939, and Mary Elliot and Lawrence Swezey of the Class of 1940. During the first meeting the following were elected: Frank Bonauto, President; Theodore Wahl, Vice President; and Maragret Bonauto, Secretary. Che of the first projects of the group is the collecting and arranging of material about higher institutions of learning. e c e purpose of the activities of the group will be to foster a desire for scholarship and leadership. -9- SENIOR TRIP At six-thirty in the morning, April 12, thirty-one, wide-awake, peppy seniors and two capable (and were they capable!) chaperons rushed for the best seats on the bus for the four-day senior trip to Boston. Wo were off i We had lunch at a roadside stand at 11:30. About 1;30 our sightseeing really began. At South Sudbury we went through the Old Mill; then walked across the road tc the Little Red School House, made famous by the childrens classic, Mary Had a Little Lamb, ; Further up the road, we visited the Wayside Inn, made famous by Longfellow's, Tales of a Wayside Inn, which he wrote while staying there. Among the attractions of the Inn was an old cupboard, with a holo in the center, where the tine ' Uood in opening bottles had been stuck thousands of tim.es. We arrived in Boston, disheveled but still full of spirit and pep, at 3:15. At our hotel. The Westminster, wo divided into groups of four and each group received a roun. Wc met our guide, Mr, Winn (inter Mr, Wind ), that overling before wc went to tbo Cr.ior Oyster House for dinner. After dinner we met, in one of the hotel rooms, with Mr, W?r.n who told us some of the things we would see during tho days that followed. Since it wan quite late when the meeting was adjourned, wo were content to write cards and get acquainted with our hotel before retiring. On April 13, the ringing of tho telephone and tho operator's chocry, Good Morning, 7;15, awoke us. Hurriedly we dressed, ate and were on our way by 8;45. Wo started the day by visiting the Museum of Fino Arts whore wo saw, among other things, Paul Rovoro'n accomplishments as a silversmith. Thon wo went through tho Christian Science Publishing Building whore wc saw all of tho operations necessary in tho printing of a newspaper or a magazino. Then wo walked through the churchyard of King's Chapel whore many famous early Americans arc buried. Wc ate at the Durgin-Park Restaurant; then wo visited Faneuil Hall, hotter known as The Cradle of Liberty, because of tho many triatio mootings hold there bbforo and after the Revolution. It is open to visitors, and for public meetings, without charge. V e thcr visited Christ Church, or Old North Church of Paul Revere Fame,1' which still displays tho signal lanterns with which Paul warned the courntryside of the British troops' march to Lexington and Concord. We also saw Paul Rovcrc's homo, which is an oxample of a Colonial homo. Wc wont to tho Navy Yard and say the famous frigato, Old Ironsides, or The Constitution as it is now known. We stopped at Bunker Hill, and most of tho seniors climbed the two hundred ninety-seven stops of tho Bunker Hill Monument 1 -10- SENIOR TRIP At Lexington and Concord, we stopped at the Hancock-Clark house. We also 3aw monuments to the Minute Men At the Concord Bridge Monument, Mr. Sinclair took a group picture of the seniors, whichis cherished by many; We went back to our hotel and spent the evening doing anything we wanted to--within reason, of course. On April 14. we stopped at the Marblehead Town Hall, and saw the original painting of The Spirit of '76. We also visited the pioneer village at Salem, and the Essex and Peabody Museums. We ate dinner at Stromberg's in Salem, and then visited the John Hays Hammond Museum. Many seniors will not forget, Sixteenth Century. Late in the afternoon, we visited the Gorton-?ew Fisheries, at Gloucester, which caused many uncomplimentary comments by all. On the way back to our hotel, we stopped at the Fisherman’s Monument. That evening we had our Class banquot, with our most capable President and Master of Ceremonies, Frank Bonauto, Speeches w e made by Mr. Sinclair, Miss English, and Johnnie Lowie, our driver Entertainment was furnished by members of the Class. After the banquet, we were on our own until curfew On the fourth day, we started for home. On the way back, we stopped at the birthplaces of John Adams and John Quincy Adams, in Quincyj Massachusetts, We also visited the granite quarry there.. At Plymouth Rock we experienced the privilege of having-Dr. Sinclair, the famous marrying minister, unite'our own Anna Hegele and Vernon Keyes in the holy bonds of matrimony. We almost had a double wedding, but Mr. Sinclair didn’t have a 'spare license to accommodate Helen and John, During the entire trip, members took snapshots and r. Sinclair took movies. Some grand scenes were captured and recorded which will be cherished possessions, we are certain. That evening, wo arrived in Goshen, at 10:30, a busload of tired, happy-go-lucky seniors. We all regretted that the trip was over and wo wore sorry, because we realized that we could never again experience the same thrill and pleasure that we received from going with our own classmates. -11- BACCALAUREATE The Bacoalauraate Service for the Class of 1939 was held at the Goshen Methodist Church, Sunday morning, June 25, at 11:00.

However, I shall endeaver to foretell the successes of our class in the world of tomorrow. The daily-double” honors of the class go to Vernon and Anna, Louis and Marlon, and John and Helen. Haopy days of married bliss will soon come to five of our class mates who have already gone out of our group to secure lady-loves or gentlemen friends. The other halves for Alice, Tom, Loret a. Bob, and Butch II range from plumber's daughters, snd barber's, to truckmen and chain store clerks. Now that all the honors have been bestowed on our lobers, I wish to point out the future success in the professional and social world. Some day we shall hear the voices of Helen Loyas, Rose Fili-powskl, and Sylvia Markovitr accompanied by our own maestro, David Pardy. Ted Wahl and Frank Bonauto shall do us honor in their Dost as brain trusts for the supreme politician, David Markowitz. Ray Schwarz (our state trooper) will have auite a time with the town's ladles. -He's always beating them for beer money. I understand that Robert Milburn will spend his future raising bigger and better----------apples. Our class he-man, Clarke Wahl, will do great things on the focfe-ball field, if he carries out his threats about reporting for collegs football. The navy band shall contain Its share of '39ers for the McNeiece twins and Frank Littner shall most certainly be there. Edward Cheche, the master of the mandolin, shall work his way through the secretarial field into an executive position. We shall see the Je.3p, Cuthbert Gillespi0, Jerking sodas for many years to come. For Helen McGowen and Regina. Weiss, I see the distinct honor of being home town girls. It is inevitable that Norman Bailey will raise the lid off the Top Hatters' with his saxophone. John Murphy claims that he will be kept busy painting signs of various types. Shirley Burnett, Marjorie Baldwin, Rita Hlngerty, and Margie Bonauto are destined to nurse Walt Moran back to health after June Holcombe, our physical Instruction teacher , gets through with him. Marjorie Van Dyke shall paint real works of art for those who really enjoy It, while the art of Etta Fowler will be in controlling the local clothing business or meat market. In the office of the biggest local concern shall be employed the most accomplished Henry Helhoski. Two others that shall become famous in the secretarial field are Jennie Zlelenski and Firginia Vavricka. Jean Johnson is destined to eternally strive to break r record set by one of her class mates(Alton Schmueck—failing Latin more than any other living person.) Carolyn Peeso will always be the small town girl with big ideas. FOR SALE One slightly battered, out of tune saxaphone. Has taken much abuse in past, hopes to see better days. Sacrifice J Plan to give up my musical erreer for th.«t of a traveler. Must be sold within the next three days. Plans for lynching already in progress. Will trade for a rail— way ticket out of town. Norman Bailey WANT ED A two-acre field of radishes, preferably next door. No place else will do. Virginia Vavricka -34- FAREWELL With the commencement of the scholastic year- 1938-1939, we leave Goshen High School, our home for four, swift, profitable years. With youthful confidence, we enter our next field of rivalry, where we must put to practical use the intellectual assets gleaned from eight semesters of mental training. In the happiness which naturally fills our hearts on such an occasion, we linger over these last parting moments to breathe sincere thanks and praise on those who have helped us, guided us, even (at times) mildly tolerated us, during our often turbulent but happy high school life. It is but the promptings of our natural feelings that make the graduating class of this year feel so grateful to you, our superiors and teachers, for your unfailing and paternal interest in us, and for the marvelous transformation you h ve wrought upon our faculties during the years we have lived under your care. Suffice it to say, we shall endeavor to foster the teachings and principles you have inculated in us as the best evidence of our sincere gratitude. And to you, our erstwhile companions, we charge you to keep alive that spirit, so intrinsically Goshen High, which pervades your school, and to hold aloft those ennobled traditions and that spotless honor of our Alma fleeter. -35- TABLE OF CONTENTS Staff..............................
