Glntroductioqj Almost a century ago an unorthodox, radical, young schoolmaster named Sawney Webb came to Tennessee and es- tablished The Webb School. Now over one hundred six years later, The Webb Schools appears and functions much the same way it did in Old Sawney's day. To an outside observer its few rather quaint buildings would not seem very impressive, but those who live and learn here realize that the school cannot be judged by its appearance. It can only be judged by what goes on inside. For one hundred and six years boys and girls from all over the country have come to Webb and have realized that Webb is not a school just for learning. Webb is a growing up place. Its students live to- gether and learn together, andvlearn how to live together just by being there. Webb is important to its students because it focuses upon them as people, and works to help them become the kind of people they Want to become. Webb is not its buildings, nor its books, nor its academics. Webb is its students and its teachers, striving together to make themselves better and more capable of handling life.

This little book is Written precisely for the students of The Webb School. In it we have tried to capture some of the most im- portant events that have happened during the 1975-1976 school term that will all too soon become dim memories in the minds of its students. Sometimes these memories rematerial- ize years later in the form of publications like this. In this the Bicentennial year We have tried to capture through old photographs the history of Webb. Hopefully in this an- nual, we have preserved a portion of that history that will continue to have special meaning in the years to come.
