An elitist, he mai.ntained that any tampering with the free capitalist system and the leisure class which it supported would destroy civilization. J. P. Morgan Diligence is the mother of good luck. Poor Richard's Almanac IZOD 44 Four years- think about it. That's a long time. Yet when I think back on the first orientation day or the first day in Mr. Norvell's class or the first day of fall when I tramped down the leaf covered brick walks that point to the library and other buildings, I think of them as one big experience that over a period of four years changed me as a character in many ways. I will not say that this experience was too short. It's tenure does not mat- terg it's what one accomplishes in this period of time. But his was an experience that exposed me to all walks and codes of lifeg honor and dishonor, wealth and lack of it, assumed coolness and the real presence of it in a few. Here is where I benefitted most from Webb, yet I suppose it will be a while before I realize any gain. But as of now, I'm a little Weary of Bell Buckle, Tn. Thanks, bye, and good luck to those who follow.

Upon entering Webb my life was a total mass of confusion, my State of mind upon leaving may be questionable, but I feel that I have grown and ben- efitted from my time spent here. Of course, the aca- demics have been great- I'm glad someone has been able to pull some kind of potential from me. But the thing I will re- member most about Webb is its people. Be they friends or not, l'll never forget the experiences I've gone through with these people: the memories of Mrs. Fort, who was al- ways able to take such good care of me when I needed someone to lean on, and Rock, who kept my ego flowing by expect- ing no less than I could produce. I hope to be able to forget the bad times at Webb, and keep only the experiences that will make me cherish my youth-the seminars and Lynn, living with two wild cajuns, living with Kendall for the summer, the soccer family, taking off to the country, studying fHa!J with Stan and julian till sunrise trying to pass something, Conway, George, Snurd, the New York trip, trying to out- wit the '75 prefects with Sloan and Payne Qand Closingj, Screwie Louie, decid- ing what to do when getting off D. P. with Poco and Ballow, the beautiful days with Crystal T. , and that everpresent word-PARTY!!! I got stoned and I missed it -Silver ste in Keep the sun shining, Zi! 43

Throughout my four years at Webb School, I have often asked myself, Is all this really worth it? My answers varied according to my mood and how much homework I had to do that particular night. After touring a college cam- pus this past summer, one director of admissions answered my question in one sentence to his secretary, Get that girl's nameg Webb is a good school! It has been a long road since my freshman yearg but as it is coming to an end, I don't regret one moment I have spent here. siwoug
