This year I was given a great opportunity by American Field Service to see American life and attend Webb School. It is an experience of finding a new home, a new school and friends in a new country. All this has so much to teach. I have found people here always friendly and open-hearted to share their homes . The kindness and caring of my AFS family and all the dear people of Webb School have been my best help and the countless memories of this wonderful year will always be with me. Thank you- Kiitos! If you inquire what the people are like here, The world is full of happiness and plenty l must answer, The same as everywhere. to go round, if you are only willing to take the kind that comes on your way: the --Goethe whole secret is being pliable.

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road Healthy, free, the world before, The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose. I-Ienceforth I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune, Henceforth I whimper no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints , libraries , querulous criticisms , Strong and content I travel the open road. The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer, I know they are very well where they are I know they suffice for those who belong to them. QStill here I carry my old delicious burdens , I carry them, men and women, I carry them with me wherever I go, I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them, I am fill'd with them, and I will fill them in return.j - -Walt Whitman . . . I was a victim of contrary stresses which produced a state of immobility. I gave myself up to indolence. Since it was impossible for me to face both ways, I had elected to face nothing. The discovery of new values in life is a very chaotic experience, there is a tremendous amount of jostling and confusion and a momentary feeling of darkness. I let my spirit float supine over that chaos. - -Joseph Conrad What has brought them to the temple . . . no single answer will cover . . . escape from everyday life, with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness , from the fetters of one's own shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from his noisy cramped surroundings into the silence of the high mountains where the eye ranges freely through the still pure air and fondly traces out the restful contours apparently built for eternity. - -Albert Einstein Senior pages are often used for thanking friends , condemning wrongs and telling funny stories . Since I will thank people personally, wrongs are rarely corrected by print and I have told my funny stories enough, there is no need to send paragraphs reminiscing about these things . The future fills my thoughts . Webb has benefited me in many ways , but I am ready to leave for the future looks bright. Alcohol, I-Iashish, Prussic Acid, Strychnine are weak dilutions . The surest poison is time. You are better lost than found. - - Clement Robins on - - Ralph Waldo Emerson Tel-
