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.
