5 r After five years at Webb I still ask myself if the sacrifices made have been worthwhile. If I benefit from my Webb education in later life I know it has been worthwhileg if I don't benefit from it I will regret it. The thing that dismays me the most about leaving Webb is that the relation- ships existing between us all will never be the same. Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Webb is a growing up place. In the past five years Webb has been a home and a growing up place for me. At Webb I have experienced the worst and the best times of my life thus far. Here I have found what is probably the closest thingl will ever have to a fa- ther. I have put my faith in others and have had faith put into me, and I have seen each result in great success and horrible failure. Although all of this has helped me mature, the greatest lesson Webb has taught me is to be strong for the powerless innocents are often harrassed, threatened, and abused by those hypocrites with power. Manipulation! Manipulation has been the game for those with such hypocriti- cal powers. In the Watergate era Webb became a microcosm of the rest of the repulsively corrupt nation, but in this . microcosm nothing could be done by the innocents that were being swept away by the continuous stream of corruption. Many have been swept into this mael- strom, few have emerged., Some HAVE emerged and would never allow them- selves to go under again. I have manipulated and have been manipulated. Hope- fully I have learned and will never submerge again. This manipulation is a fool's game with rules favoring the sick. I only ask that those of you who can, please avoid it like the plague. There is no need for purging if you are pure. Be pure, question until you understand all that concerns you. Webb-a growing up place. Buildings have nothing to do with maturing, peo- ple do. Many have contributed to my maturing or at least my attempt to mature. Although some are no longer around, I love each of them dearly for their part! the Laglers, The Norvells, Mr. Stuckey, Knox, Karen, Moore, Stan, Conway, Mr. Boyd, Coarch , Mr. Morgan, Anne, Billy, McLafferty, T , Raymond, all the Barbers, Bunny, Mary Kate, Casey, Stark, Sput, the soccer teams, even the Benten Gang for personal insight, and a little brother that I have never lived with before. You're the bait and you're the hook, someone's bound to take a look . . . -Steve Tyler fAerosmith5 You have not converted a man because you have silenced him. -john Morley ML

Who wants to go caving with me? Did you know that there are mice in Henry's room? Minos andl are really second cousins. Just call me a troglodyte. Nature never deceives us 5 it is always we who deceive ourselves. -Jean jacques Rousseau Imagination is more impo-rtant than knowledge. h To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men-that is genius! -Ralph Waldo Emerson M141 2f944,.,4c.
