A log cabin, often visited by Conrad Weiser, brought to Weiser Park from the Appalachian Trail. Ns Yo:-eword In this year of 1954, we are all hoping to secure greatly needed world peace and co-operation. But treaties alone do not guarantee everlasting peace, they may merely postpone war. Peace is of another substance, a product of infinite readjustment and of the living faith of a people. In colonial days, Conrad Weiser wished to secure peace between the settlers and the Indians. He devoted his life to this cause by becoming an interpreter. Through this yearbook, the Class of '54 hopes to give you a description of the eventful life of Conrad Weiser. Through Conrad Weiser, our yearbook, the WEICON, has received its name. The combination of the first three letters of Weiser's first and last name form a lasting memorial to the man who contributed so much to the history of Womelsdorf. With pictures and brief stories we shall try to bring his life and experiences closer to you. Conrad Weiser's home located in Weiser Park east of Womelsdorf. -11

bedicativn We, the Class of 1954, have dedicated this yearbook to Mr. James F. Shankweiler, who has given us his time, energy, and great understanding to help us reach our much sought for goal. We have sincerely appreciated his helpful guidance. Mr. Shankweiler came to Womelsdorf in 1950. He continued his graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania and later acquired his Supervising Principals Certifi- cate. He has completed the course requirements and has passed all the examinations necessary for the degree of Doctor of Education. At present he is working on the dissertation required for the degree. By the end of the 1954 school term he will have both his Secondary and Elementary Principals Certificates. Under Mr. Shankweiler's energetic leadership, and modern philosophy of educa- tion, many improvements to the school have been initiated. Naming a few would include curricular changes, macadamizing of the playground, acquiring new kitchen appliances for the home economics room, and an amplification system in the audi- torium for dances and assembly programs, and full activity programs. He has also inaugurated a program for the painting and redecorating of the building on a year to year basis. We, the Class of 1954, take this opportunity to express our appreciation for his interest in our education. We wish Mr. Shankweiler success in attaining his degree of Doctor of Education and hope that he will have many more successful years in leading the youth of our community to take their place in the world. -2....
