We went to Christopher Dock Mennonite HS for the Homecoming Weekend.
Ate dinner and it was fun to see some of the classmates.
Unfortunately my husband, who graduated back in 1977, we were the only ones at the 1970's table!
(Actually there was special tables for the reunion of 1976)
We saw Jeff Landis and his family and Ruth Ann (Rush) Moyer '59 (one of the 2011 Alumni of the Year)
a cousin-once-removed and a few others.
"In 1750, Dock wrote School Management,
one of the earliest treatises on pedagogy in this country.
Having taught school in Germany,
Dock contrasts with his experience there the welcome freedom of the voluntary schools provided by Pennsylvania German farmers and weavers for their children.
Here no legislated compulsion stood behind the teacher; he must win his pupils' affection while he taught them their ABCs.
To this end, Dock employed a series of quaint procedures. "
