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.

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

Four years ago when I came to Webb, I thought I would hate it. I couldn't imagine living away from home. Within a month thoughl realized I was making better grades and was happier than at home. Webb was a place 'where I had my own ,responsibilities and could set my own pattern of life. My freshman year was rough, partly because. of a normal period of adjustment, but I made it. The way to make Webb easy is to accept the system. It has worked for over a hun- dred years and there is no reason to break it now. I watched people trying to fight the system and lose! I can't think of how to show my appreciation to the faculty of Webb, my friends, Mr. Boyd, and especially Dr. Jones. You 've made my life four years happier and infinitely better. I 59
