the stentorian December 16, 1994 News Webster fills position in chemistiy department By MAGDA KOTEK News Editor In her dimly lit, cramped office with un opened boxes stacked against her walls, Mrs. Gail Webster warmly welcomed me. Papers were strewn on her desk, pictures of her ten month old daughter Caroline hung on the wall, and her computer buzzed softly. The temporary re placement for Dr. Knecht offered me a seat and asked me to fire away the first ques tion. Born? In New Jersey to a family of five older brothers. Education? Primary and secondary through out New Jersey and Vir ginia. Under-graduate work at Virginia Com monwealth University where she started as a music major and later found her husband, Jeff, and a career in chemis try. Hobbies? Gardening, playing with her daugh ter and pets (She has two dogs, one of which she and her husband res cued from the beach), and sometimes playing the flute (Mrs. Webster Vt * Mrs. Webster helps student Kelly Cooke with a Chemistry problem after class. played for a wind en semble when she taught at NC State). Purpose in life? To be the best that she can be. Mrs. Webster struck me as a very compas sionate, elegant lady. I couldn’t help but smile when, as she spoke of her daughter and her dog, sparkles lit up her brown eyes, and I thor oughly enjoyed listen ing to the frank and clear answers that she gave me.

Fantastic thrill rides We all need our stress tended to draw the big- outlets. Luckily, the gest crowds. Mon strously long lines for the ferris wheel were a common sight. Yet, many NCSSM students could not resist taking a trip around the “Ring of Fire” or getting all jumbled up on “The The trophy winners for the NorthCarolina Enloe High School are (from left to right) School of Science and Mathematics' de- Kelly McBayer, Gillian Burgess, Andrew bate team in the Capital Invitational at Steen, Esther Smith, and Craig Lovelace. Scrambler.’ For those feeling lucky, there was an ar ray of games offering great prizes. Flip a penny in a floating lily pad and win a cute stuffed bunny. Even shooting hoops could win you something to take back to school and show off. Want to win something without even moving? Pay a couple bucks to have your age guessed and reap the benefits of looking so young (or mature!). Dining at the Fair is definitely not for the calorie counters. The menu includes foods such as cheeseburgers, pizza, Italian sausages, hot dogs, and candied apples. One word of ad vice: Do not try a funnel cake before or after get ting on a ride. A queasy stomach and dizzy head are guaranteed. Who could forget the unbelievable freak shows? For only three tickets, one may lay his eyes on a woman with a snake’s body. Or how about a man who looks and acts just like a beast? Who wouldn’t be curious to see a woman only 29 inches tall? Not many. How ever, I couldn’t bring myself to waste tickets on what many fair-goers described as “totally fake.” All in all, the State fair certainly proved to be an unforgettable ex perience breaking the cycle of homework on the weekend. Until next year, my friends.
