THE ADMI ISTHATIU The Administration of 1954-55 was capably headed by Mr. Donald A. Watts, supervising principal of the West- mont-Upper Yoder District. This was his first year as supervising principal, and he proved quite efficient in this post. Mr. Watts first entered Westmont as the school principal at the beginning of last year's term. New to our school is Mr. William F. Shaffer, the prin- cipal, whose pleasant and cordial manner is enjoyed by all. A graduate of Penn State and Bucknell University, Mr. Shaffer is by no means a novice to his job as prin- cipal. Previous to his arrival here, he taught at Turbot- ville High School in Turbotville, Pennsylvania, was prin- cipal at the Thompsontown-Delaware Township in Thompsontown, Pennsylvaniag and was vocational ad- visor in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Mr. Shaffer was also as- sistant-superintendent of the Union County Schools in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Miss Anna Mary Raab, Miss Anna lane Ashcom, and Miss Kathryn Eisaman are the very efficient secretaries to Mr. Watts, Mr. Shaffer, and Mr. Leckey, respectively.
