Welcome to WHS Class of 1960
We began this site in 2010 during our 50th Class Reunion. Sit back and enjoy. Poke around some of the memories created along the way. We hope to keep the site alive with new postings whenever they become available.
Another ten plus years have gone by (now is 2021) and I felt it was necessary to make updates for mobile devices, etc. Feel free to contribute content, photos, videos, or offer suggestions.
Parts of this site are missing as updates continue. You can still find the orginal site. Parts of the original site have not kept up with the times so will not work as well or at all.

WHS Class of 1960
is planning an
Informal Gathering
in Williamstown, the weekend of October 20-23 (Saturday & Sunday) 2023
Notice from Vic-
As the year rolls along, I thought it would be fun to get our classmates together for an informal get-together. I figure that if we don't do it now, the odds are slim that it will ever happen (a few of us are getting older).
I am writing to find out if you are interested in getting together.
The present plan for the reunion is to meet at Waubeeka Country Club in South Williamstown from 1:00 to 5:00 on Saturday October 21st. We haven't finalized the food yet, but it will be an inexpensive buffet, whatever that means in this day and age. Drinks will be ordered separately. Saturday evening there are no official plans. People can group together, as they choose, and go wherever for dinner.
Sunday we are talking about a formal dinner for those that wish to attend it. The location has not been determined.
The reason why I am writing to you is that we need to determine head count for these events.
1 Are you planning on bring a friend or spouse to the reunion?
2, Would you like to attend the dinner on Sunday?
More info to follow- stay tuned here.
Please contact me at viclucier@verizon.net or 978-369-0633 to let me know your interest in this proposed event and any suggestions you may have.

Hello to the WHS Class of 1960 from Art Lafave and Mike Miller - No activities had been planned for Saturday the 18th during the reunion until the dinner at the Williams Inn starting at 5:30 PM.
Art Lafave and I have arranged to have the Williamstown House of Local History (WHLH) open their doors for all of our group from 10:00 until 11:30 AM. The WHLH is located directly across Field Park
from the Williams Inn, where many of the class members will be staying and is really convenient. Art and I will act as 'tour guides' to show everyone a wonderful collection of Williamstown history.
Actually, just wandering around inside the rooms by yourselves works well, as there are explanations with each of the exhibits. There is no charge, but perhaps a few folks would like to become members
of the organization.
That is option #1, option #2 would take place between 1:30 and 3:00 PM and be a short walk/hike up to the Wahl Stone Bench on Stone Hill and to catch a great view of Williamstown above The Clark on
the way back. Art and I will be happy to lead the way.
For those that don't wish to walk much, what better way to wait for the hiker's return than to visit The Clark itself. They are open from 10 AM until 5 PM and the admission price is $15. The trail
we take to Stone Hill starts and ends in the Clark parking lot.
Paintings at The Clark
You'll note that I left 11:30 AM until 1:30 PM open for lunch and as many of our classmates will recall, there was a great place called Angelina's Sub Shop in Adams. We always used to stop there to
grab a 'SUB' before going to Coury's or the Hoosac Drive-In on the weekends.
Angelina's has a shop in North Adams near the old RR station and the sandwiches are as good today as they were back in the 1950's! I'll be heading over there for lunch if anyone wishes to come along.
Plenty of nearby places for lunch in town if you prefer.
As an option #3, instead of The Clark, Arthur suggests an afternoon visit to the Williams College Museum of Art that is located next to Lasell Gym. Free admission, with parking nearby on Spring St.

The events are at a leisurely pace and would get everyone back to the Inn in time for the 5:30 PM event. In the event of rain, the 'hike' portion would be canceled.
These events are all just suggestions, but Art and I will definitely have the WHLH open for all in the morning.
Williamstown awaits your return, but BEWARE, Spring St. is ONE-WAY and goes south only:
