The pride felt by the SENIOR in walking through this door does not develop overnight. It grows from long years of learning and experience. Come in and observe the perseverance and diligent work of the SENIORS of today and tomorrow. Look for the achievements that we the SENIORS of today have ac- complished and those that our underclassmen will strive to create. We wish we could unlock the door to all the sentimental and memorable events that have taken place during our high school life but, we can only try, through this open door, to let you see what our school life has meant to us. Standing on the threshold of the world of tomorrow with the confident hope- fulness of inspired and challenged youth, we, the Class of 1952, shall try to play our full part in the drama of the future.

Earl Brenneman-Sei-rerary Luther D. Webber-Treasurer Raymond M. Anderson-Member Present day problems cast such heavy shadows upon the world of tomorrow that it is easy for us to look upon the future with a feeling of insecurity. But this we know: Every individual can, in a large measure, determine his own future . . . not only in the way he has prepared himself, but even more by the efforts he puts forth in making his community the type of enterprise which will allow people to live peaceably in coopera- tive activity. -JAMES F. SHANKWEILER Z rlecbcafion The Class of 1952, dedicate this year book to you, Mr. Gilbert R. Feeg, whose understanding, advice, and encouragement has guided us in our education.

The team and the coaches, playing with a few practices and inex- perience, deserve a well done on their season. Our record was two ties, six lossesg unfortunately the team didnit win any games.

Good luck to the Womelsdorf Soccer Team of 1952. If you The spring is the season that children like most be- cause the snow leaves us, the flowers and the outdoor sports return. The smaller children jump rope and play ball in their playground while the older ones play softball and baseball on the ball field. The surface of the play- ground has been coated with asphalt for the children's pleasure. We have a new baseball diamond with bleach- ers, dugouts, and a backstop. This will be the second year that the field is used. Our baseball prospects for this year are excellent. W.

Coach Gibson's 1951-52 basketeers didn't have too much luck this year, but they put up a terrific struggle for victory, despite their lack of height. A few of the most thrilling games were with Myerstown, Richland, and Oley, which were lost by only one point. Our Junior Varsity has a group of prospects that will try to fill the Varsity's shoes next year. Good luck to the coach and players in 1952-53. Varsity J . Varsity W. Opp. W.
