Westfield Alumni Council Will Coordinate Activities An exciting change at Westfield Schools has been the recent creation of an Alumni Council to coordinate activities and events for the alumni body. Each independent school has a unique body of alumni with special concerns and interests. The best way to tap those interests and ad dress those concerns is by forming a council of alumni to present ideas to the school. The members of the first council include: Jimmy Beeland, Chesley Cawthon, Snyder Chapman, Kay Grier, Elizabeth Flowers, Cam Hart, Nan Moore, Jon Pierce, Buddy Roper, Rob Tuggle, and Todd Walton from Westfield; Susan Bennett from Baker; and Steve Lane and Jan McCord from Beechwood. Beech wood and Baker alumni were included in the new council to offer support to those whose schools could no longer provide the support service of an alumni organization and to broaden the Westfield association. Officers for the council are: Snyder Chapman, Chairman; Jon Pierce, Vice-Chairman; Chesley Cawthon, Treasurer; and Cam Hart, Secretary. The expectation is for the Alumni Council to become the agency within the school where ideas for alumni events peculiar to Westfield can be addressed and the needs of its constituents met. A primary goal is to establish the most complete and up-to-date mail ing list for all three schools. The goal is for everyone who is interested to begin receiving mailings and newsletters as soon as possible. Additionally, the council will Perry High Talent Show Will To Held St. Patrick's Day Looking for something fun to do on St. Patrick’s Day?
