It will be a permanent reminder of accomplishments and friends. Be- cause the photographs were taken and developed by students, they appear more poignant and at times more amusing. The narrative is more refreshing and the artwork more imaginative because they were done by students. The business details were staggering and yet all were managed by students. I wish to thank the entire Web Tide staff for their effort in pro- ducing this fine yearbook. The initiative and self-reliance they displayed reflects credit upon all Webutuck students.

January 23, 1961 Sincerely yours, Myron J. Rindsberg, District Principal We proudly dedicate Web Tide '61 to one who has set the stage for the Amenia and We- butuck yearbooks for many years.

Teachers, too, give constantly of themselves as they develop the potential of their students, often without any special recognition. This, the classroom, is the place where it is possible for students to both gratify their instructors and benefit themselves by absorbing, and then using to its fullest extent, the material offered. 12 MRS.
