The writing desk, located in Conrad Weiser's home, at which Weiser did much of his studying. 14 miniA tration During Weiser's Adminirtmlion as Indian interpreter, he visited many of the flourishing farms of the Dutch Country of Pennsylvania. Here he found order, and he saw his faith in mankind, his vision of a free people at peace, fulfilled He had dreamed time after time of a country such as this, with the industry and neighborli- ness through which the German immigrants had achieved the village, the model of society and first pattern for peaceful living. Weiser knew that through the village man could learn to understand mankind. The peace he found in his Pennsylvania German village extended to thirteen colonies, then to forty-eight states. Today we are discussing with our teachers the problem of world peace. From their desks, the teachers are trying to explain to us what conditions are needed to satisfy every individual so that all the nations of the earth will live together with peace and cooperation. The dreams of Weiser were not idle dreams and it is not idle to dream of a united neighborly world, its model found in a million Womelsdotfs. -3.

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....
