Published by

The Annual Staff

of Westfield High School

Westfield, North Carolina

We, the Senior Class of Westfield High

School, dedicate this edition of Fie Id-Airs

to:

Firstly; our parents from whom our

first and lasting education came.

Secondly; our teachers,who have been

guides, as well as sources of inspiration

to all of those whom they have taught.

Thirdly; the community that has in¬

fluenced our behavior with customs and

traditions that will follow throughout our

lives.

In recognition of these, we proudly

dedicate this 1957 edition of Field-Airs.

Principal’s Message

Students,

In the future, each time you look through your yearbook, you will

remember that your school was a place where the life of courtesy, of

refinement, of integrity, and of mutual happiness was lived.

I am proud to be a part of the many facets of your education which

gives me confidence that you will live a full, satisfying personal life,

and be a competent citizen in your community, state, and nation.

Class Prophecy

Willa Dean Inman, wife of the head coach at State was glancing

over the evening paper reviewing her husbands team standing when she

caught sight of the winner in the Daytona Beach "Flying Mile." It was

Bobby Lambert, one of her fellow students driving a Chevrolet.

Then smiling she wondered what had happened to the other fifteen

Seniors of '57. She wondered how she could manage to find out. As

she fumbled through the yellow pages of the telephone book, she saw

that Christine Cooke had become an F.B.I. agent. Here was her help.

She called and together they found that Sammy Rogers had inherited a

couple of million and was really living it up in Florida with his beauti¬

ful wife. Anne Jessup, it seemed had married the owner of King Ken¬

nel and she was a receptionist in the Reynolds Building in Winston

Salem. Marie Slate, her next door neighbor was married to a grey¬

hound driver and had three adorable children. R. T. Hunter was still

playing Romeo in a new Chevrolet while teaching at Salem (A

womans college),Billy Martin and Teddy Cox were in service for their

country. Both admirals in the Navy. Pat Sheppard was married to the

editor of Life Magazine and was doing some bit writing herself on hair

designing. Norma Jean Cooke had married the owner of Millers and

Adams Hosiery Mill in High Point and mother of two children. Geral¬

dine Love lived near her and had married the manager of the same

company. Curtis Mills was playing bit parts on the Robert Cummings

show.

They had a hard time locating Eva Jane Simmons. She was married

to a foreign Prince and living in Singapore. Nora Stephens was in the

foothills of Virginia painting the rolling hills. Her work had already

netted her a cool thousand. Bonnie Collins had met a Captain while

serving in the Waves. They were married and living on base where her

husband planned a career. She was studying science in her spare time.

Planning to invent a new button controlled house cleaner. Harold

Hunter is just finishing training in Alabama to become a veterinarian.

He was engaged to the winner of the Miss Mount Airy beauty contest.
