We went to dances, if only to sit. And when it came spring, even studied a bit. Exams were a ■gamble, but we won the toss; One journey done - - - three more rivers to cross. Superior Sophomores In Biology class Mr. Sprague took a ride. We put tacks on his seat to get under his hide. We tinted his aquarium—it really wasn't nice; It was only meant to show, we were men, not mice. We started going out in pairs; and then of course we Tripped to the Paramount to see Maestro Dorsey. We showed the simple Freshman, just who the heck was boss, So the second year went by - - - with two more rivers to cross. Socialite Juniors We doubled up in laughing fits At the sight of Louie Oboikovits, When he took his famous football spill In the game that gave us a championship thrill. And then that great event—the Prom, With wolves galore, from Gerry to Tom; Burnett, the King of Swing, was there. And Howard with the light brown hair. Well, English 3's gain was English 4's loss- And only one more river to cross. Haughty Seniors Thru another football season, we cheered the red and blue. With fifteen RAHs for Mr. K., and John and Jimmy too. We showed the noisy Juniors, than whom there are no zanier, That though they're more athletic, we're certainly the brainier. We took a fling at everything, whether wrongly or rightly, We even gave our courses the once over lightly. But it's hard to change the habits of years, So we faced our exams with prayers and tears. We'd been rolling stones, we'd gathered no moss. But, believe it or not,-NO MORE RIVERS TO CROSS! L'Envoi It seems this flood of recollections Has forced us into sad reflections, So if this seems corny, kindly note. It’s from the heart, and not the throat. The future holds a promise bright And yet, with some strange inner sight. We know the happiest days slipped by With those four short years at Goshen High. —by Jane Seer 8 GOSHEN PACER James Ackerman Shamus Football, 2 years, captain manager; Track, 2 years; Baseball, manager; Basketball, 4 years, captain, manager; Gym Demonstration; Sport Award—G; President of National Honor Society; Youth in Government, county clerk; Honor Roll; Honor League; G.

James Ackerman, Marilyn Knapp, Ida Currao, Bob Burnett, Wilma Speirs, Howard Lewis, Joan McEntire, Eugene Barnes, Leslie Purcell, Teddy Berrian, Russell Chardavoyne, Bob Haley, Bill Warren, and Dorothy Simmons were there at the first roll call that September morning. Our love for a good time was fostered in this grade by a noisy but colossal circus. It featured Jimmy Ackerman and Teddy Berrian doing the old vaudevillian horse act. With the boys trying to keep their stockings even with those nice new knickers, that Mom thought were nice to wear, we walked across the hall to second grade and the smiling face of Miss Cobleigh. We gained three new members in the person of Ray Bally, who came from that famous borough of Brooklyn, Virginia Galus who skipped down the hill from Garr, and Allen Van Sickle. The girls focused their thoughts of love toward Allen, and Virginia tried to hook him by tying him to a tree. Things certainly have changed—or have they? With the girls finally regaining their senses in time to pass, we went to the third grade with Miss Cobleigh, now Mrs. McMahon, going up the ladder with us. Lydia Polhemus, Floyd Decker, and Norman Mills joined our class which was slightly saddened when Norman broke his ankle on that famous merry-go-round. That year also brought our first warnings that we would have to stay after school if we didn't stop sliding down the banister. Worried, we entered the fourth grade. Our teacher was the late Mrs. Stabler who finally calmed down our up-to-the-present wild and spoiled class. This year was highlighted by one arrival and three departures. Walter Dill joined us from New Jersey while Ray Bally, Lydia Polhemus, and Dorothy Simmons left to find out what some other schools had to offer. Spurred on by the reward of entering the yellow school, we all worked very hard. (I say this with my fingers crossed.) Leaving a few behind we moved across the road to the Main Street School and the boys' hearts were sped up by the arrival of Finnegan's Finest, Helen hfyruski. John Heitz, the Northern Senator Claghorn, came to us from GOSHEN the neighboring town of Chester. Departures were Walter Dill, and Robert Haley. We left the fifth grade with just a little more knowledge of arithmetic and music. Miss Wagner met us at the door of the sixth grade and ushered us through a year of puppet shows, the music of Walter Damrosch, and a trip to the woolen mills. We gained three new students, one of whom came to us all the way from war-torn China via New York. His name was George Wong and he proved to the rest of us, that knowledge could be obtained by some good hard work. Gerald Swan wick and Augustus Keller were the other two who joined our parade. We said good-by to Howard Lewis who took a ride down the road to Washingtonville school. At last it came—Seventh Grade. What with getting used to changing classes and being in the new school each pupil wished he had a compass to assist him. Our group expanded considerably with the return of Ray Bally and a group of new students from the country due to centralization. These were: Chris Lewis, Frank Fredricks, Mable Morley, Richard Weiss, Barbara Brisky, Julius Tomasjewski, Benny Gentile, Bill and Dick Curry, Lottie Dombrow-ski, Bill Binch, and Russell Sontag. While Jim Ackerman ducked Mr. Brittain's blows, most of us were being arrested by Chief Pardy's police-force for running in the halls. Mrs. Huber's famous saying: The World Has No Use For Wrong Answers, helped us out greatly in our trials. The 8th grade found us wading through the CORN of Mr. Pritchard's jokes. Here we gained Art Hall from New Hampton, and Hannelore Strauss, our little patriotic stamp seller, from Middletown. Mr. Sprague's voice booming through the walls not only gave us a preview of our next year's science class, but also did a good job of drowning out Mr. Allen. Dick Weiss left us for Long Island. Our first day in the Freshman class, we were greeted by an ultimatum of, “work or flunk, orated by Mr. Sprague. In that class, shaking with the rest of us, were our new, added attractions, Lydia Polhemus, and Geraldine Ewald. This was the start of our rise socially, but our downfall scholastically, due to so-called birthday parties given by various students. Our Sophomore year found us in Mr. Martin's English class trying to absorb the content PACER 19 of the Merchant of Venice, Parliamentary Procedure, and the use of good manners. Donald Saxton, that smart but bashful boy, joined our class from Middletown, while Louis Oboi-kovits, the Bronx's biggest, best, and bravest violinist, added to the talent of our class. Also arguing that the Irish were always right was Gerry Sullivan from Garr. The Junior year found us once again in the guiding dome (oops, I mean home room) of G. G. Sprague. Spurred on by John Heitz's policy of ”$1,000 or bust, the class made the colossal Junior Play, Prom and Monte Carlo a great success. We had a big addition to our class in Howard Lewis, whose good will to all teachers drew the curiosity of everyone in school. Uncle Sam's long arm reached into our class to get Gerry Swanwick, Dick Curry, Benny Gentile, Gerry Sullivan, and Bud Decker. Feeling about exhausted from twelve years of school we entered the home stretch. This exciting Senior year found three new students waiting for us in homeroom. Dick Weiss found his way back from Long Island in time to graduate with his old classmates. Walt Bacon, coming all the way from Unadilla, gave that Einstein quality to our already well-formed Senior class. Last but not least, we had a much-travelled Mrs. Roosevelt join our class in the form of Lillian Stephenson. Some of you may not know that Lillian has been to twelve different schools in twelve years. Fortunately enough she is able to graduate from the best class of all, the class of '46. The U. S. Navy consented to let Joe Petak join our already draft-riddled class, and Jane Seer decided that she would put on a spurt of intelligence so she could graduate with us. 20 GOSHEN PACER CLASS WILL We, the Class of '46, of the village of Goshen, County of Orange, State of New York, being of sound mind, make this our last will and testament. After the payment of our just debts and funeral charges, we devise and bequeath as follows: James Ackerman and Christian Lewis leave their ability to get along with each other, to John Luft and Miss Denneen. Selina Brisky leaves her attraction for the history rooms to Dick Wallace. To Dot Mabee, we leave John Heitz' ability to conduct a good Senior meeting; and his art of talking himself out of tight spots, to Lois Houston. Barbara Brisky leaves her minutes of those ghastly, rip-roaring Senior meetings to any poor soul who has the job. Ray Bally leaves his knack of going with one woman, yet not being tied down, to Fred Barnes. Ida Currao leaves her close relationship with Mr. McKee to Josephine Eiriz. (Take it easy; she only types.) Dick Weiss leaves his attachment to the Lewis girls - - - - Darn it!!! Lillian Stephenson leaves her come-hither look to Swanee. To Rocky Millar, Frank Fredericks leaves his quiet manner. Hope you find use for it, Rocky. Bette Howard leaves her house to the Junior class in order that they may have as successful parties as the Seniors had!! Hubba, Hubba. Walt Bacon leaves his father to watch over a certain Junior girl when he's gone. Ginny Galus leaves room 208 and its scientific atmosphere to Annie Hagen. Louis Oboikovits leaves his Rolls Royce or, in other words, his car, to the Junior class, in order to pull them through their Senior year. To Bob Sawyer, that Freshman dynamo, we leave Mable Morley's power of leadership. Donald Saxton leaves his lackadaisical manner of getting As to Mouse Luft. Helen Myruski leaves the hall stairs to the Junior girls and an endowment of $3,000 to supply, in future years, gum for anyone who craves it as much as she does. Bob leaves his Termite column in the Hambletonian to star reporter Strong. Gerry Ewald bequeaths her secret romances to Irene Seer. Joe Petak ieaves his willingness to help in class activities to the Junior boys. To Mr. Sprague, we leave Chris Lewis' thick, curly hair in order that he may hide pencils in it. Lydia Polhemus just leaves. Howard Lewis leaves his fondness for the Goshen Faculty to Helena Brittain. Wilma Speirs bequeaths her petite, graceful manner and ability to be a hot jitterbugger to Mary LaSapenaro. Jane Seer leaves a swell pair of lungs to that peppy cheerleader, Bette Zuk. Julius Tomaszewski leaves the tall-of-it to the short-of-it—Bill Hanley. Lyn Knapp leaves her assortment of New York, Middletown, and Goshen fellows to any girl who thinks she can stand the strain. To John Alden Parker, we leave Hannelore Strauss' ability to get along with the Faculty. GOSHEN PACER 21 CLASS PROPHECY As we cautiously turn forward the leaves of time, we come to rest upon the year 1956 A.D., just ten years after the Class of 1946 had left their happy, carefree high school days to take their respective and respectable positions in the world. Mable Morley, cozily nestled on her little 2,000 acre ranch, is teaching little Junior the technique of roping a steer and staying on the horse at the same time. Jimmy Ackerman and Irene Seer are teamed up in a comedy act. Jim acts as a ventriloquist and Irene sits on his knee. Incidentally, that isn't the only way they have teamed up. Bob (Dorsey) Burnett now has his own band, and they have been playing nightly at the Middletown Paramount for the past ten years. This is the longest run in history, and it is beginning to become monotonous. Lillian Stephenson, not being able to choose between marriage and a career, decided to try both at once. Her husband does not know how long it will keep up, but that $400 a week comes in handy. Howard Lewis has just had a series of books published on women in his life. His latest edition is divided into four categories: Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads, and Miscellaneous. Marilyn Knapp may be seen at Ebbets Field each Sunday afternoon, yelling to Bill, Jr. to be careful sliding home. Lyn's yell can be heard from the grandstand, Be careful, that is the third pair of pants you have ripped this week. Walter Bacon has been reported working jointly with Mr. Einstein. Their latest work has been measuring girls scientifically for a beauty contest. It is rumored that he still has very little interest in his work. Barbara Brisky has just graduated after taking a course on counter-spying; she is now engaged in working by Sears and Roebuck for spying behind the counters of Montgomery Ward. Frank Fredericks has continued his record and avoided girls for the past ten years. How he accomplished that, still remains a mystery. Perhaps taking psychology set his ideals too high. fane Seer has had a very busy life. She started out on her career one year ahead of usual, and has worked from daylight to sunset in her little white cottage in the country. She keeps it immaculately clean to please Freddy. Just recently they have been chosen the typical American couple of 1956. Joe Petak can be seen puttering around in his greenhouse, which borders the Wallkill River. He has produced a substitute for D.D.T. by the development of a carnivorous plant, to dispose of unwanted insects, by cross-breeding two rare species imported from Africa. Louis Oboikovits now is owner of a clam, oyster, and fish market, on 54th Street. In his spare time he retires into the back room and saws away on his violin. We are sorry for the poor cat. Hannelore Strauss has taken over the feature column in the New York Times. Her column is meant mainly for females, entitled How to Dodge the Question of Marriage. Evidently, Hanny has more suitors than she can handle. Richard Weiss is working for a large firm in New York City. His chief duty is to keep the boss's daughter contented all day, and on occasions he is found engrossed in his work. Wilma (B.S.; M.S.; Ph.D.) Speirs has just finished a ten year study of psychology with Dr. Brett. She has returned to Goshen to try out all her scientific, practical applications on John. Donald Saxton is experimenting with Dr. Spragini trying to increase the mileage per pack of gum. Geraldine Ewald certainly surprised us all when she came back to school to become dietician. You will remember Gerry, that slip of a girl? She has certainly changed, after continually sampling her own delicious food. Ida Currao now works at the Goshen Hospital, where her chief job is to make the patients happy. Little Ida runs back and forth to each patient all day long, with fruit juice and pink pills, attempting to make them comfortable. In addition, she has frequent visitors from Middletown. Ray Bally, after many years of study, has now completed the Unfinished Symphony and is scheduled to make his first appearance at Carnegie Hall in the near future. After this, he is going on an expedition in search of The Lost Chord. Virginia Galus's activities have made it necessary to construct a trolley line between Nelson Street and Walden, and also to simplify 22 GOSHEN PACER the time table, making it possible for the fellows to keep their dates straight. Formerly Virginia had suffered much embarrassment by having two dates in one evening. Julius Tomaszewski has his own Produce Trucking Concern, with Helen as his secretary. His business could not exist without her efficiency, she is also stimulating to his morale. Bette Howard is still shooting pictures, as she started, but is having a difficult time trying to fit all six sets of twins in one snapshot. Helen Myruski has occupied the position as chief mate in Schubie's life. They have taken over a filling station at Finnegan's Corners. They call it Schubie's Secluded Station ; it seems that business has been a little slack lately. John Heitz is running for Mayor of Goshen for the third term. Each afternoon he visits the housewives to try to persuade them to vote in his favor. He accomplishes this by offering each a free box of soap flakes, because Duz does everything. Christian Lewis moved to New Jersey a decade ago. There he holds the position of District Attorney because of his ability to talk at the rate of 150 words a minute, and he can also argue his way out of any difficult situation. Lydia Polhemus works for the telephone company. She finds it a very interesting occupation, because she gets the inside information on all the town gossip. Selena Brisky had formerly been secretary for Adolph A. Berle, but she soon handed in her resignation to get married to her old high school flame. Thus has our honorable class struggled through its perilous journey to fame and fortune. GOSHEN PACER 23 GOSHEN Name I. Ackerman W. Bacon R. Bally B. Brisky S. Brisky R. Burnett I. Currao G. Ewald F.

It didn't take Mr. and Mrs. Krepick long to get them on the bus, especially after the girls discovered that the bus driver, Lloyd, was a tall, blond ex-sailor. We piciced up Miss Kin-naird, our third chaperone, at Peekskill. We made our first stop at Longfellow's famous Wayside Inn, where we acquired our guide, Mr. Winn. After being conducted on a tour through the Inn, we were shown the Old Grist Mill and the well-known Little Red School-house. Continuing on our way, we stopped at Lexington and Concord, where we saw the famous Minute Man Statue at Concord Bridge. While in Lexington and Concord, we saw the homes and graves of many famous American authors. At last, after an arduous journey, we finally arrived at the Hotel Bradford in Boston, our home for the next three days. After getting settled and accustomed to our rooms, we went to the Old Oyster House for supper, where many of us got a real taste of sea food. That night no one could get any sleep, especially the girls in 648, with Wilma doing her exercises and then taking her nerve pills, cough medicine, nose drops and alka seltzer. Pillow fights were the main events in the boys' rooms. The manager spent most of the night running from room to room trying to keep us quiet. Finally fatigued from the day's events we fell asleep just in time, so it seemed to some, to get up the next morning. Tuesday, April 16— After being roused bright and early, we set about seeing the many sights in Boston which were pointed out by our guide, Mr. Winn. By now we had learned to call him Windy because of his gift of gab. We visited cultural Boston and saw many of its universities and colleges. At the Christian Science Building we were awed as we walked through the beautiful mapparium. Other points of interest visited were the Old State House, Boston Common, Granary Cemetery, King's Chapel and Burial Ground, Faneuil Hall, Home of Paul Revere, Bunker Hill Monument and Old Ironsides. And to top off this wonderful day, Mr. Winn took us to his Church, the Old North Church of Paul Revere fame. Being dare devils, we climbed the church steeple, where Virginia almost collapsed in Lloyd's arms. Wednesday, April 17— Today we visited some of the cities around Boston such as Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead and Salem. At Marblehead we visited Abbott Hall, where we saw the original oil painting of the Spirit of 76. At Salem we visited Fort Sewall where everyone went down to the edge of the seashore over the rocks. We also visited the reproduction of the Pioneer village and the Arabella. Proceeding on our way, we visited Essex Institute and Peabody Museum. Before coming back to our hotel, we visited the famous House of Seven Gables and were also conducted on a tour of a Coast Guard Air Base. That night we held our Class Banquet and married Jane and Freddy. We concluded with a sentimental rendition of Auld Lang Syne. After that, some went to the Bradford Roof, while others went out. Thursday, April 18— We all hated to pack our bags that morning and leave our wonderful hotel. We boarded the bus to leave dear Boston and headed for home. On the way, we stopped at the Harvard Museum, where we saw a magnificent collection of flowers reproduced in glass. We saw Plymouth Rock and then made an ill-fated stop in Quincy at a rock quarry where many of us gathered memories of ripped nylons, scratched knees, and sprained ankles. As we neared Goshen we were sorry to get home We know we shall cherish memories of Boston forever. 26 GOSHEN PACER FOOTBALL Front Row; John Heitz, James Ackerman, Chris Lewis, Dick Wallace, Robert Jensen, (mascot) Dick Ryerson, Robert O'Blenis, Edward Harding, Louis Vavaricka; Second Row: Tom Northrup.
