- OUR NHS-1963 55TH CLASS REUNION IS HISTORY. And in summary, the 55th class reunion was another unqualified success. For an off-year reunion, attendance was phenomenal with over 100 classmates and guests attending one or more of the four events. The weather cooperated, and it seemed that everyone had a great time judging from all of the smiles and hugs. To read all about it, tap or click here.
- 55TH CLASS REUNION PHOTOS. A great many pictures were taken at the 55th class reunion and they have all been uploaded to Shutterfly (a photo sharing site). To view them individually or in a slideshow, tap or click here
- OUR NHS-1963 SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT FUND HAS NOW GROWN TO $269,605+ - Thanks to ongoing (recurring) donations from many NHS-1963 classmates, and to the fund's overall investment performance (ROI) including multiple very generous contributions from the the Cabral Family Fund in memory of our classmate Dick Cabral, our NHS-1963 Scholarship Endowment Fund continues to grow and is now at $269,605 as of March 31, 2022. Thanks so much to all of you who have contributed over the past 8 years. As a result of your generosity, scholarships will continue to be awarded indefinitely to graduating, college bound seniors at Nashua High School South in the name of the NHS Class of 1963.
- TRANSITION: Finally, we are sad to report the passing of several NHS-1963 classmates over the past three years. Please see the IN MEMORY OF page (click (or tap) here) for more information, including obituaries where we have them.

2nd EDITION? WHY ???
Old people like us hate change..........so why was there a need for a 2nd edition of www.nhs-1963.com? Several reasons......
WHAT'S NEW AND DIFFERENT?
With this 2nd edition, we've opened up access to anyone who knows the web site address: www.nhs-1963.com
I am wide open to your feedback, questions, requests, or comments --- just let me know using the form below. Thanks, Steve Doris
Old people like us hate change..........so why was there a need for a 2nd edition of www.nhs-1963.com? Several reasons......
- The original web site was over 12 years old and through the years we've come to know what features were being used and what features were either difficult to use or just not used at all. We've dumped some little used features, while preserving all the good stuff and filled in some of the "under construction" blanks,
- Secondly, web site building technology has advanced substantially and there are much easier tools available to maintain and enhance web site content. We've completely migrated the site from using a raw HTML editor to a drag/drop web site building tool (WeeblyPro).
- Most importantly, in addition to desktops and laptops, there are several additional devices now available to access the internet, like tablets and smartphones. In order to ensure that our web site content can be displayed well on these newer devices that have smaller screens, we needed to do some web site redesign.
WHAT'S NEW AND DIFFERENT?
With this 2nd edition, we've opened up access to anyone who knows the web site address: www.nhs-1963.com
- No longer are users required to register or log in with a user-id and password. If you make www.nhs-1963.com a favorite on your browser, access to our site is greatly simplified --- only a single click (or tap), and you're in.
- We've updated all contact information for everyone in the NHS Class of 1963 on the DIRECTORY page
- We've eliminated the BIO page, as only a few classmates ever took the time to submit their story and pictures (and besides there is social media sites now, like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, for stuff like that).
- We've also eliminated the LINKS and CALENDAR pages (simply not used).
- Pictures of all members of NHS Class of 1959 and NHS Class of 1960 have been added. See the TUSITALA pages.
- All issues of the Tattlers and most of our Broadcasters have been added. See the TATTLERS page
- Slideshows with all pictures from our 40th and 50th Class Reunions have been added. See the REUNIONS page
- All the good stuff, like TUSITALAS, TATTLERS, IN MEMORY OF, REUNIONS, TEACHERS, and GRADES 1-9 pages are still here. They may look a little different at first but all of the original content has been preserved.
- Finally, a new GIVING BACK page has been created to contain current news about the collective efforts of our NHS Class of 1963 to give back something of real significance to our alma mater. We recap the "10K for 50" fundraiser, our support for the Post Prom Party, the NHS-1963 Scholarship program, and describe and explain the NHS-1963 Alumni Endowment for Scholarships fund.
