One of the highlights of Mansfield's 1957 Centennial Celebebration
was the Facial Hair Contest, which was not just a suggestion, but a requirement.
Any adult male who did not want to participate had to buy a permit.. In
the photo above (front) Bill Bradshaw, George Penno, (back) Ben Garrison,
Lee Smith, and Chester Bailey look over a "Shaver's Permit." In these photos
