Vi. ,!4..I f-f:f?i'9-ll ' Q V When Icame to Webb two years ago I had no idea of the effect it would have on my life. The things I have learned and the people I have met here will be a part of me forever. I hope Webb remains as it is so that others may benefit from it as I have for it is a unique institution. I had fasted for too long. Webb laid the recipe for life on the table. I took the ingredients, mixed them together, and prepared the course of life. I hope to take this course for the rest of my life. Man is the architect of his destiny. I. C. T. An unexamined life is not worth living. Socrates o

The words appearing on this page are a relation of my thoughts, the signifi- cance of these thoughts may only be attributed to Webb, those principles for which it stands, the people who have made the school what it is, and the infinite number of experiences, relationships, and memories which Iwill forever re- late to Webb. Webb has meant a five year learning experience for me, learning a great deal about myself and those with whom I live, as well as the academic prepara- tion for college. The unique characteristic of Webb is not its academic rating, and any student interested in just academic preparation should go elsewhere. Webb is unique in that it teaches its students life, thus helping the individual realize the part he plays in life. An unexamined life is not worth living. -Socrates I love Webb and all that it stands for and stands alone, but Webb is nothing without its students, students with a high regard for the moral principles of honesty and integrity, students who realize their part in life and are Willing to help others achieve the same, students with a care for the quality of learning which Webb has to offer. As of May thirty-first, nineteen hundred and seventy-six, John Lillard Templeton III will no longer be a student of Webb school, but he will continue to practice those principles for which Webb stands the rest of his days on earth.

Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findethg and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7, 8 Whoso loveth instruction loveth know- ledge: but he that hateth reproof is bru- tish. Proverbs 12:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolish- ness. Proverbs 15: 1,2 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1 58 Although' his reputation is his most valuable possession, man, in this worldly society, is too often ambitious of worldly objectives which usually include wealth and the praise of men. His honor isfne- glected and sometimes completely for- gotten in the race of life. A Webb man should never commit such a grievous er- ror for Webb is Honor. During his stay here, the student is, first, continually reminded of the tremendous value of his honesty and, secondly, he is urged to do his best in all he attempts. Although I may forget many people and ideas with which I have become acquainted here, l will always keep the ideal of honor as a focal point of my life and hope that some- day, by some miraculous means, it will become the philosophy of all men.
