Webb School - Sawney Yearbook (Bell Buckle, TN)

Page 57 text:

I remember saying that I would never go to Webb, because the work would be easier at a public school. I only attended a public school for a year and then decided to come to Webb. The people at Webb were friendly which was very un- true of the public school which I attended. I guess this was one factor that left the biggest first impression. I've been at Webb for three years now and I can tell you one thing, I am very happy I came. Sure, I probably could have made it a public school but I couldn't have gotten all the advantages I have received at Webb. I am sure that I missed out on many experiences by not boarding, but I've had my share as a day student and Iwould never give them up to anyone. I am proud of Webb School, and I'm proud that I was a part of it. wlhqfmrwl

It has taken me four years to write this, and while I have changed and added, cor- rected old mistakes and made new ones, I see that I really haven't changed that much, idealistically. There have been changes though. I have matured here unbelievably, both mentally and spiritually, but not without the help of my brothers Mike and Mark. They have made me aware of myself and aware of those about me, offered me shoulders to cry on, and have given me invaluable sound advice. Though I hate to leave, I realize thet Webb has taught me everything that I could possibly learn and now it is time for me to be on my way. I have given Webb nothing but four years of my time and if in some small way I have had a good influence on the school Iwill be humble, for I can never repay the school for the good influence it has had on me. For those of you who are not yet seniors, I tell you this, no matter how badly you may dislike the school now, forget your grudges and hang on to every precious moment. Or later you will hate yourself because you did not take advantage of Webb's offerings. 52 6204- 0

My first year at The tion period for me. It was not easy to transfer from a public high school and leave my friends behind. Webb was quite a change, and as a day student, I felt that I was really nei- ther a part of Webb nor of Murfreesboro. But with the help, understanding, and concern of many, these feelings began to change to those of accep- tance, and slowly I began to forget my public school attachments. My thanks goes out to the students, faculty, and administra- tion, who helped me to overcome those early frustrations. C, I am deeply indebted to Mr. Lucas Boyd who helped me to learn many things about myself and my surroundings, The Webb School, and to gain a better knowledge and understand- ing of history. Kendall Hayes helped me a great deal by giving me a nickname QM. S, J. Be- ing tagged with a nickname, I felt more relaxed and more accepted at Webb. Approaching graduation, I now have one thought that I would like to leave behind: the fdifference between success and failures is that extra effort spent in each endeavor. I leave this advice behind to those of you who will continue the pursuit of graduation from The Webb School. In the past two years, I have had many wonderful and meaningful experi- ences whichl will always remember. I will never forget the people with whom I have become close to and I hope they will always remember me. The Webb School is strictly based upon college preparation and academic achievement, but there is still that inevitable thought which remains in every- bo'dy's hearts and minds -PARTY!!! Thank you, everyone, for all the help you have given me. Good-bye, Webb, good-bye, Bell Buckle. Take care and God Bless All. -Albert Einstein Each of you is unique. There has never in all of time been, nor will there ever be, another human being exactly like you. For this reason you are to be cherished.
