Welcome to Your Website!!
If you are a graduate of the Beverly Massachusetts High School Class of 1960,
or were ever in our class at any point along the way, this is your Website. Those
classmates who voted to establish this site hope you will use it to get in touch
and stay in touch. The next reunion will be our 50th in 2010, and we want to be able to
contact everyone at that time. Your active participation will help make it better.
On this site you can submit pictures to share with your classmates and enjoy those
already submitted by others. You can post bulletins within the guidelines of the
site. Announcements will keep you informed of the latest developments. Rest assured
that no personal information about anyone will be posted on this site without
specific permission.
This is your Website. Please stay in touch and keep us updated with your latest
email address. Let us know how we can make this site better. All feedback is appreciated.
WELCOME - PLEASE ENJOY!!

Hot Topics!
PLEASE HELP SPONSOR THIS WEBSITE!
(Procedures Revised 04/28/05 - Topic Reworded)
Up until mid-April, 2005, this site was financed out of the generous donations from your fellow classmates, as voted by
those attending the last reunion, the 41st "2000+1." See About This Site elsewhere on
this page.
April 2005 I proposed to the reunion committee that we solicit donations to finance this website. I said I would see
if there are people in our class, or anyone else, interested in sponsorship. This would relieve the class from our yearly
web hosting expenses, which at the time were $107.40 per year, and thus free up corresponding funds for direct reunion expenses. This has worked out quite well through donations from generous BHS '60 classmates, and friends of our class. The website support donations are just slightly ahead of actual cost, and if things continue this way, our expenses will be covered into the future.
Actual website hosting cost went up to $155.40 per year sometime in the late spring or early summer of 2008. I paid the difference out of my pocket through the remainder of 2008, and for the entire year 2009-10. Reimbursement of the entire cost was requested, and paid, starting in May 2010.
All donors are mentioned in a table on this page. Click to see who they are so far:

DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL WEBSITE?
There are some of us with our own website. If you have a website, send me the link, and I will post it here. Please, no third party entities, such as your employer, just your own business and/or personal website(s). Please
notify the Webmaster of any bad links.
Note: Newest entry bolded and italicized.

WE NOW HAVE A BULLETIN BOARD:
This consists of a simple section name change. As of 12/07/03, "Notices" has been changed to
"Bulletin Board" on the "Notices & Announcements" page, which in turn has been renamed
Announcements & Bulletin Board Page.
Please send bulletins to the Webmaster if you have something to say to
your fellow classmates. You can send traditional USPS mail to the address you see
here.
Comments about this Website itself will still be posted on the
Comments From Your Classmates Page.

WANTED - YEARBOOKS:
|
SOMEONE CAN USE YOUR YEARBOOK
|
|
Attention BHS Classes '57 through '62:
Some of our classmates do not have their yearbooks anymore, and some never had one.
Occasionally I get a query asking if a yearbook is available. Please consider sending unwanted yearbooks
to the address you see here.
Not to get overly morbid, just realistic, let your future heirs know about this. Unfortunately,
when we pass away our yearbooks are probably tossed in the trash, when they could be making
another of our classmates very happy. Thanks in advance.
|
We welcome 1957 - 1962 yearbooks in any condition. Extra yearbooks will be given to members of your
particular class; a few have already asked about them. Please keep an eye out for yearbooks. Thanks!

PLEASE HELP FIND MISSING CLASSMATES:
It is very difficult to locate missing classmates, especially females. Please
check out the missing list and our new
"Newly Missing" List.
In general, any
clues are a big help. Who was that person
friendly with in high school, what school did they attend, what job(s) did they
have, any rumors of their demise, etc? Any relatives living in a known place?
Things of that nature are helpful. Send clues to Webmaster. You can send traditional USPS mail to the
address you see here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DO YOU HAVE OLD PICTURES?
Images from our classmates are a big hit. Do you have any from our school daze?
See last question in the "How to Keep in Touch" section below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PLEASE POST AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND EMAIL ADDRESS ON: Beverly
High Alumni Class of 1960 Page
Your classmates are interested in what you've been up to. Please note: I do not
maintain that site, but the Webmaster there is real easy to deal with and they
have an automatic submittal form in place. Drop to the bottom of the page there and see where it says
"Add Your Name." Also, please read third question in the "How to Keep in Touch" section below.

How to Keep in Touch
Q. The main purpose of this site is to keep in touch with my classmates.
How do I do that?
A. Keep the Webmaster informed of any address changes, especially regular USPS mailing address
changes. Email addresses too, because email keeps you in the loop. If you wish to contact a specific person in our
class, email or write to the Webmaster saying so, and he will forward your note to that person by email, if
possible, or by snail mail. They, in turn, will contact you, if they so choose.
Please check the
"Missing" list for people I cannot contact,
the Do Not Contact list for those
classmates who don't want to hear from you, the list of those who are
very sick and thus cannot be contacted, and finally the
Deceased list for those nobody can contact without a medium.
We can contact everyone else, because we at least have a mailing address. See
Roster.
~ ~ ~
If you do not mind having your email address published, then the best thing for
you to do is add your email address to the Beverly
High Alumni Class of 1960 Page on the beverlyhighalumni.com Website
(see question after next, below). Please consider adding a short autobiography there too, as
your classmates are interested in what you've been up to all these years.
If your email address changes, please remember to change it on the Beverly High Alumni website, and tell me, too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. So how can I contact the Webmaster?
A. The newest information on how to contact the webmaster is found
here, on the "Announcements" page.
[Opens in a new window - no need to hit back arrow]
The term Webmaster on this site is much like the Maestro on Seinfeld. It annoys
everyone but I insist on it....just kidding! It is really Bill Nisbet. You can
click the Webmaster
link at the bottom of any page on this site. This should automatically bring up
your email program with a message already addressed, ready for you to type in
text. If that doesn't work, simply send an email message to brandy_pond@yahoo.com
- same thing (note underscore character
between the words brandy and pond). You can send traditional USPS mail to the address you see
here. Or you can
phone this number, if you prefer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. I do not understand why short autobiographies of members of our class are
posted on the Beverly High Alumni site (beverlyhighalumni.com) and not on our
own BHS Class of 1960 site (bhs60.com). What gives?
A. This has confused quite a few people. These sites are not related but there
is a link to and from the Class of 1960 page there. The Beverly High Alumni site, with an
orange and black main page, existed long before this site (white letters on dark
green) was conceived. Both sites are free, and as many of our classmates had posted
a notice or short autobiography there, I thought we would keep things that way, and
in fact encourage our classmates to post their autobiography there.
If you are not shy about posting your email address then your classmates can contact
you directly. It is very important to update your email address when it changes, both
there and with the Webmaster here. Thanks.
Just drop to the bottom of the page
there and click where it says, "Add Your Name." There is a button for updates, too. You
can update or add to a previous posting that way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. How can I post a notice on the "Bulletin Board"
section on the Announcements & Bulletin Board
Page?
A. Simply send your notice to the Webmaster in an email message. I will post it
on that page for you. At present, there is no mechanism in place to allow you
to do this automatically. I am toying with the idea of setting up a bulletin board,
but there are many considerations for that. Please keep your Notice in line with
the notice guidelines (see "Site Policies" below).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. How can I post photos on the Images
From Fellow Classmates Page?
A. Email your photo(s) to the Webmaster as an attachment to your email message. I will
post it on that page for you. Please, JPEGs must be less than 500 KB in size. If you don't
know what this means, don't have a scanner, or cannot send your image an email
message, please just ask and I will help you. Please check the image guidelines
(see Site Policies below). Newest information on how to send in photos
is found here.
[Opens in a new window - no need to hit back arrow]
If it were me I would only trust copies of photos to the US mail, not the originals.

Site Policies
PRIVACY CONSIDERATIONS:
We do not post addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses
on this site without expressed permission. We do not sell or loan mailing
addresses, or give copies of our database to anyone outside the class. A few of your
classmates who are helping me keep the list current and accurate have a working copy.
Be aware that search engines will eventually find everything here.
GUIDELINES:
Considering our generation I know I don't have to spell this out, but please bear
with me. This site is about getting in touch and keeping in touch with your classmates.
I will not post bulletins containing any of the following topics: politics; religion;
causes, lost or otherwise; requests for charitable or other donations; advertising;
obscenities; and the like. In other words, this is not a public forum. Sorry about
the negativity but I felt it necessary to state these limitations.
IMAGES
You can post images that will show up here. In
general these should be from our school years up through high school. A few recent
photos for contrast and our amusement are just fine. Please, if there are any
questions or problems, just ask for me for help.
DECEASED LIST
For names to be added to the list of Those Who
Have Passed Away require independent verification. Happily, I was able to remove three individuals from this
list that I originally updated, but I still felt great embarrassment and consternation.
I hope these errors caused no pain or problems for anyone before they were corrected.
You can see why I must have verification from several sources or a copy of the
actual obituary write-up before adding to this list. Please don't let this
stop you from notifying me of any changes; just be aware the information won't
be posted immediately.
NO CONTACT LIST
Names to be added to the list of Those Who
Do Not Want to be Contacted should be sent to the Webmaster with details. As sad
as it seems, we have classmates that do not want to hear from anyone, for whatever
reason. Also, some are so sick that they cannot be contacted. In either case, let the
Webmaster know if you don't want to hear from anyone, or can verify a classmate is too
sick to be contacted. Conversely, if your name is on the list and you want it removed,
simply email the address information that we need
to the Webmaster at the bottom of this page.

About This Site
This site, bhs60.com, was voted into existence by members, spouses,
relatives and friends of the Beverly High School Class of 1960 who attended the
2001 "40 + 1" reunion held on July 28, 2001. Details are here
on the Notices & Announcements Archive Page. It
was designed and implemented by Bill Nisbet (BHS '60), who is also the current
Webmaster. He can be reached by email by clicking the Webmaster link at the bottom
of any page on the site.
The costs to the BHS Class of 1960 are for Website hosting: a $15.00 one-time
setup charge and a $8.95 per month fee. Annual URL registration, normally $35
per year, is included in these fees. The first year was paid for in advance, April 2002
through March 2003, for a total of $122.40. This is subject to adjustment should
upload quotas be exceeded or by future fee increases.
As of early May, 2003, the 2nd year website hosting fees were paid in advance through
March 2004.
As of early summer, 2004, the 3rd year website hosting fees were paid in advance through
March 2005.
The above website hosting expenses were taken out of the reunion donations made by your generous
classmates. You can see who they are here.
As of April 2005, we have website sponsors. Click to see Our Website Sponsors
All labor is donated. The Beverly High School Class of 1960 holds the copyrights
on design and content. Those of the photos and other images belong to the person who
submitted them.

following people in particular, and to all those others who provided clues, address corrections, images,
