I dedicate this website to my ancestors who
graduated from Pittsfield High School
My Great Grandfather, William Alton Pierce, Class of 186x (more research
needed), and his siblings of that era.
My Grandmother Clara Winthrop Pierce, Class of 1901, and her siblings of that
era.
My Father, George Alton Nicholls, Class of 1940

Joyce Stanga! “My mother was Betty Auger and I was Joyce Van der Bogart. Her good friend and classmate Ruth Lehmann
had a daughter Sylvia Warren who was in my class in 1960. My friend and
classmate Judy Hermann married Charlie Therrien who
was also in our class. His mother was Stephanie Kruck
who was in the class of 1940. This is sort of like genealogy, isn't it?”

This is Alice Ward's
yearbook, etc. I bought it at a tag sale about 10 years ago. I felt really bad
buying it but felt compelled to preserve it. Alice was a real PHS person. The
yearbook includes the supplement and other printed memorabilia. Also a PHS
pennant and tee-shirt. If Alice has seller's remorse, please contact me!

We will be having a 40th reunion October 9, 2010 at the Berkshire Hills Country Club on Benedict Road
Thanks - Steve Miller (Miller Supply - West Street where the Adams super market used to be!) is the local contact for our Class (1970) if anyone asks.
We have been doing a joint reunion with Taconic and St. Joe since the 20th reunion in 1990 and it's been a great success. We started this because really THS and PHS were one school until our senior year so everyone felt that it was only the right thing to do and we thought it would be fun.
When some of the St. Joe people heard what we were planning with THS they asked if they could join too because planning a reunion with such a small group was not working very well for them. And now we only do joint reunions and have a blast.
Anyways, thanks again and take care,
Patty
