Welcome to the web site of the

Westfield High School
Class Of 1962 (New Jersey)

From September 1959 to June 1962 a little over 400 of us residents of this planet Earth shared at least six hours a day, generally five days a week, and almost 40 weeks a year in the company of one another. Then, on June 21, 1962, things started to change. We went our separate ways.

• Some of us immediately jumped into the work force or military service.
• Others continued their education at schools far and near.
• A few of us continued to live in the same house we occupied as students at Westfield High while others began a practice of changing hometowns many times over many miles.

Almost all of us have kept in touch with a handful of friends from those high school days, and few have failed to wonder every now and then, "whatever happened to ...?"

There is perhaps satisfaction in reflecting on past gains, and certain pleasure in relishing the good of the moment, but joy, happiness rests only in unrest, in the yet unattained goods to come.

Whether you attended the reunion or not, however, let's take the time both to reignite memories of our high school days and to share with each other what we have attained in these many years.

This web site will help in that pursuit. Please visit often.
