School Opens With Many New Features This has been a year of changes for Webb. An increased student body of 396 and enlarged faculty have witnessed changes not only in the switch to cafeteria style lunches and lights on the football field, but also in classes, the curriculum, activities, and in the campus itself. The ninth grades of both schools found a pleasing difference this year in their co-educational classes. This experiment was prelude to the later decision of the Board of Trustees to combine both schools. In the Science Department, new experimental courses were introduced, from upper school chemistry through the seventh and eighth grade classes. New opportunities for extracurricular activities were made available for students in the way of science projects, Math, Spanish, French, and Inter-Act Clubs, and, in the Girls' School, a lower school student council. The campus, too, has changed with the excavation of two new athletic fields for physical education and girls' field hockey. In late August, school began for the members of the Student Councils with the third annual Leadership Training Clinic. The purposes of the conference were to acquaint these students with the responsibilities of their positions, to answer any questions concerning the policies of the school, and to familiarize them with the coming changes in school life. Early in September, the Student Councils also conducted Orientation Programs for all new students, and school began for everyone on Tuesday, September 5.

Orientation Days, planned by the Councils in early September, were conducted to welcome newcomers into the general student body. Throughout the year the Student Councils worked on such projects as the AFS Carnival, chapel pro- grams, and several successful dances. The Boys' Council, under president Alan Davis' leadership, coordinated many activities such as the United Fund Dud,s Day, while an important measure introduced into the Girls, Council, with Pat Minskey as president, was the establishment of a lower school student council in the third term. The Girls' Honor Concept Committee and the Boys' Honor Committee have continued their fine job of upholding the Honor Code.
