R. GIBSON Favulty Advisor WILLIAM A. EURRHART Pugi' Ifiz c we eicon WE, the senior class of 1941, when looking for a title for our year- book, could find none better than WEICON, taken from the name of that famous Berks Countian, Conrad Weiser-QWEI-ser, CON-radj. Conrad Weiser was born in 1696, on the second of November, in Afstaedt, Wurttemberg. At the age of fourteen, he emigrated from Ger- many with his parents and a company from the Palatinates. They settled in a group in New York. Here young Conrad lived for eight months with an Indian chief, who took a great fancy to him and taught him the Indian language, so valuable during his life. In I723, with many of his German neighbors, he settled at Tulpehocken near Reading. He engaged in farming and acquired a large tract of land in Heidelberg Township. His knowledge of the Mohawk secured him a position as interpreter for the province in 1732. He held this position as long as he could attend to its duties and was present at all the treaties made. His word was held in great respect by the Red Men. During the French and Indian War, he was commander of all the forces raised west of the Susquehanna. In his last years he lived in Reading. He died in 1760 and was buried in the family graveyard near Womelsdorf. Conrad Weiser was the father,' of the so-called Pennsylvania Germans. Let it be remembered and repeated that our ancestry numbers in its line noble characters-men who would grace any position in life. Here is a pioneer in civilization, an honorable and an honored public officer, and historical character abreast with the men of his day. As such he left: Q'Footprints that perhaps another Sailing over life's solemn main A forlorn and shipwrecked brother Seeing, shall take heart again. A bronze tablet in the west wall of Stichter's Hardware Store, Fifth and Penn Streets, Reading, bears the following quotation- Pos- terity will not forget his services. These words were spoken by Wash- ington as he stood by the grave of Conrad Weiser at Womelsdorf. This memorial was purchased with money contributed by the school children of Berks County. Finally, Conrad Weiser believed in one maxim we all can follow: Be thyselfn-a motto that is overlooked and neglected too much today. But remembering it, our hero may prove for us the words of truth in Longfellow's poem: Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of timef, We trust that the name XVEICON may live in cherished remem- brance of one of Womelsdorf's greatest citizens, Conrad Weiser.

BREAK, but not forget them, classmates, looking back through these four years, Fix them well in memory's stronghold, there are far more smiles than tears, Yes, our high school course is ended, but the radiance that was spread 'Round our lives on this old school-ground will through the coming years be shed. 1 WE ARE sad to leave the old school, we are loath to part with friends, There,s a tightness around our hearts that no stranger comprehends. But the time is come, we've played our part, and played it well. Remains but to say to each and all, good-bye, God speed, farewell! -MARIE HEFFELFINGER Page ThfI'fjf'1'iflIIl' CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE .Sanford gfrwzi ,MJ for? HAVING passed the last milestone, we take one last look back over the tread of years. Through the course of the years we either gained or lost pupils by pro- motion. Although we Were not always successful in our efforts, We never gave up the Ship. I Our Senior year led us to realize that through cooperation we obtained the best results. The year was filled with very many activities, such as the Hallowe,en Dance, Chancingof Turkeys, Selling of Christmas Wreaths, Class Play, Oper- etta, Suppers, the Sample Fair, Bingo, Card Party, Thanksgiving Dance, Cake Sale, Selling of Easter Ham, and Nickelodeon Dances. Our class officers did their utmost best to make the year a success. We wish to thank graciously and heartily those who have aided in our success, the teachers, pupils, parents, and the townsfolk. Although we may be gone from the corridors and from the class rooms, We nevertheless cannot forget them. We are taking the biggest step of our livesg l'Out of High School into Life's School. -RUTH M.

WE started our scholastic history in the Hrst grade with an enrollment of II girls and I7 boys. Our grade school years passed quickly while participating in programs for the benefit of the high school and other numerous grade activities. After completing the first six grades, our class was enrolled in the 7th grade, which was our Hrst year of Junior High School. During these three years We had Home Room Activities and were started on assembly programs. Next was our sophomore year, the year in which all classes begin to think seriously about filling their treasury, but this year was not very profitable except for a few dollars collected from dues. In our present junior year We hope to H11 our treasury with the cooperation of 35 pupils now enrolled in the class. Our soup sale and sale of Christmas cards were very prolitable, and We hope to complete our task by having a dance, merchandise club, carnival, card party, bingo party, and sale of stationery. So far this year we have participated in assembly programs and have cooperated in various activities with other classes for the benefit of our Alma Mater and will do so for the remaining year of our high school life. -MILDRED STOEHREL, Class Historian Page Iioriy-Three WOMELSDORF HIGH SCHOOL Class Dean .

However, records show that in 1723 thirty-three families had begun a settlement at the site of our present town. When this settlement was made, Washington had not yet been born, the Dec- laration of Independence was still 'fifty years away, and the Constitution of the United States was sixty-five years away. Little information concerning the growth and activity of the settlement from the date it was founded until the Revolutionary War can be found. How- ever, it is known that the tiny settlement and its surrounding country bore the brunt of savage Indian attacks during pre-Revolutionary Days. Womelsdorf, or Middletown, as it was called, had one character of distinction in that period. The name of Colonel Conrad Weiser has gone into the history of Pennsylvania as a famous Indian interpreter and pioneer. Col. Weiser accomplished much in establishing the peace between the settlers and the Indians in Pennsylvania. During the Revolutionary War, the settlers contributed a great deal to the winning of independence. A greater part of the settlers eagerly marched with the army of freedom for the cause that many men of the town and country later gave their lives to save. With the War ended, the time for growth and progress had come. The great Easton Road was built. This road contributed much to the growth of the town. It was at this time known as Middletown, because of its situation along the road. In 1792 W'0melsdorf erected its first church. At the same time the Union Canal was started. In 1793 Womelsdorf was honored by a visit by George Wash- ington, our first President. Between 1 8 16 and 1 8 I7 the town was named Wfomelsdorf for its founder, John Womelsdorf. In the year 1807 the first post ofhce was established. At about the same time Rev. John Schulze, later twice elected Governor of Penn- sylvania, assisted his father as resident pastor in Womelsdorf. In 1833 Womelsdorf was incorporated into a borough. There is little known about the growth of the borough between ISSO and I87S. In 1894 the trolley line was built between Reading and Womelsdorf. With the beginning of the twentieth century, Womelsdorf, as well as neighboring towns, had become well established as an industrial town. Factories and mills sprang up, employing men of the borough. The town by this time had a population of about 1,000 people. In the years following, there were not many changes. Old familiar faces passed away, new faces took their places and, as all other towns, Womelsdorf flourished. The people known as Pennsylvania Dutch,', were industrious and progressive. New mills were founded, the pop- ulation was increased, until, in 1940, it had reached I 500. And so from a little settlement near the banks of the Tulpehocken grew a town, founded by hardy pioneers, typical of hundreds of towns throughout our country. We, as citizens of this town, can certainly be proud of our ancestral heritage, which struggled through the dark days of strife with man and the elements to produce a progressive and one-hundred per cent community.
