- OUR NHS-1963 55TH CLASS REUNION IS NOW 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.

- ANNOUNCING THE RICHARD CABRAL MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP. Thanks to the generosity of one of our very dear classmates, Richard (Dick) Cabral, and in recognition of his and the Cabral Family Foundation's exceptional support of our Scholarship Endowment Fund, the NHS-1963 Alumni/Reunion Committee established an additional (3rd) annual scholarship that shall be awarded each and every year going forward by the Class of 1963 in Dick's name. This new scholarship was announced to all classmates attending our 55th class reunion Dinner-Dance on September 21, 2018. Details below.......

Starting in 2019, the Richard Cabral Memorial Scholarship shall be presented each and every year to a graduating senior from Nashua High School South, and it shall be offered in addition to the two existing NHS Class of 1963 scholarships that have been awarded since 2013.
The Richard Cabral Memorial Scholarship shall be awarded to a graduating senior who best exemplifies the challenges that Dick faced and overcame coming from an impoverished family while a student at Nashua High — a student who exhibits the spirit and ‘drive to achieve’ that Dick demonstrated not only in high school and in college but throughout his entire professional life. We honor, remember and thank Dick, thank his wife Wendy and thank the Cabral Family Foundation for their generous support of our NHS Class of 1963 Scholarship Endowment Fund. |

In now granting three (3) NHS Class of 1963 scholarships each year going forward, we will have the opportunity each June at NHS South to once again acknowledge and remember Dick Cabral and the spirit he represents through the presentation of the Richard Cabral Memorial Scholarship.

- NHS-1963 SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT FUND GOAL OF $100,000 MET AND SUBSTANTIALLY EXCEEDED. We are very pleased to announce that not only did our class meet the very aggressive $100,000 goal that we set back in 2013 for funding annual "NHS Class of 1963" scholarships to qualified graduating seniors from NHS South, we blew right by it. As of 11/1/2018, thanks solely to classmate contributions and investment returns, a total of $155,576 is currently in our Scholarship Endowment Fund --- an incredible accomplishment by the greatest NHS Class ever.

- TRANSITION: Finally, we are sad to report the passing of several NHS-1963 classmates in the past two 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.
