Wife and I were in the same year. Graduated in ‘88. We have been to several, last one was a couple years ago. Was on the river bank. Great time, but shouldn’t have waited that long to see girls and guys in their 50’s in swim suits.

Some still took care of themselves, others not so much.

We were a small class and many I see and talk to almost daily.

Never been to one. I'd get an invite in the mail quite often until about 5 years ago. I guess they quit sending them out or maybe they aren't having one every year anymore. I never understood why they did anyways. Had a class of about 30, so a small class. Graduated in 1989 and as far as I know we lost our first guy in June of this year.

I wasn't a popular guy, not a jock and not a social person so I'm fine never going to one. I haven't kept in contact with anyone from my class since I graduated. I'd run into a couple of the guys I hung around with in school the first couple of years after graduating but since then nothing.
I'm a loner by nature anyway. I also look at class reunions as a brag thing for some of them. I'm sure there would be the same clique crap now as there was in school. Who the heck needs that.

Been to the 50th and 55 reunion. Graduated in 1967. Never liked school. The only classes I enjoyed were taught on the rivers, lakes, and streams before and after school. Had a graduating class of 500 or so kids. My friends and I were not involved in any high-school sports as we were always hunting, fishing, or trapping. Don't think I will go to anymore. I still am good friends with a couple old school buddies and we go fishing every year together but each year it's getting harder to do.

Okay, reporting back. 55th Class reunion in the books, it was very good. Lot of memories shared. Lots of talk about new knees and hips. One classmate was quit pleased with the BM he'd had this morning. I'm definately goning to my 60th, God willing.

Graduated in 85.
Haven't been to a reunion yet.
I have only talked to 2 classmates since graduation.
Both were totally by accident, being at the same place at the same time.

Don't see a need to start attending any reunions after 40 years.

. Exactly. I can't think of one person I would ever care to see again. Awful experience.

Ain't never been interested, I was glad to see the last of it in 87. The few that mattered I saw at mama's funeral and might see one or two when I go visit dad.

Next month will be our next reunion, graduated in 1963 so its been 62 years, about 7 years ago we started having them every year. I think they figure the next one could be the last one, I've been to about half of them. We only had 52 in our class. Some nights when I can't sleep I try to think of everyone that was in my class. Sometimes I nail it, most times I come up one or two short.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Graduated in 85 and have never went to one. See a few folks that I graduated with around town occasionally and still have my best friend since kindergarten living close by. I don't do any social media so don't get any invites. Got along with most of my classmates throughout school and enjoyed it for the most part just never went to a reunion.

Graduated in '74 and went right to work for the local telephone company where I spent the next 40 years. Only reunion I went to was the 20th and that was enough for me!

Class of 1961. I've gone to a few. Good to see the girls again although they sure have changed. A few of the boys I had scores to settle from high school years. This was so satisfying to see them squirm.

Class of '75 here. Went to my 20th back in Chester Co, PA from TX because it was close to Thanksgiving and we traveled back to see family anyway.
My 50th is next month and I won't be making that trip this time around as all family there is gone. I do speak to an old (girl)friend from 9th grade there pretty regularly though. She has bugged me to attend and see some old faces. I'm sure I'd be shocked at how old everyone looks while I have stayed so young. lol

Never been to one , graduated in 71, school was a painful part of my life, had no friends all thru school, never was invited to anything, tried to be friends with others never happened, no party's nothing, went to the football games a few times but got knocked around so stopped them, basketball, got rolled down the bleachers, so stopped that !

Was no reason to go never dated any girl that I even was interested in, no replies !

Graduated no signatures in my year books, the whole thing was just miserable !!

Glad I even made it to graduation, had a very difficult time keeping my self in school !

Never been to one.

Out of my graduation class one guy is now a 2 star general in the army. Never knew him very well , but very seriously impressed at what he has become.

On the other side of the coin , had a classmate who killed another classmate a couple of years after graduation.

I figure it was my wearing of clothes and shoes, came from a family with parents alcoholics never had money only for their drinking, barely had food once in a while, always wore clothes like hand me downs, guess the kids just like to bully the less than them kids, was back in the day's when you got slapped around if you di not slap back you just got it more ! School rules were not as they are now, and programs all over for all kinds of stuff, you either toughed it out or you never went back, even with all that torment it was better to be at school than listen to the parents argue and fight over their lives !! I guess I just was a dumb looking kid who would never amount to anything !

I never tried to get it, never smart mouthed any one, like I can now, found ways to walk around the bullies but they seemed bent on making my life miserable, used to walk back and forth to school cause on the bus I was cornered al the time !

Went to several schools as well because my parents were always in debt up the ying yang all the time

One reason I'm so against legalizing drugs, as I seen what it can do to families and people in general that think they have a grip on it !
Swore my family would never be like that and got involved in a job that led to an apprenticeship on welding and steel detailing and it took 4 years to get thru it but it was well worth it 45 years of it and the pay just kept going up, great wife, family and they don't still know the half of my life I won't share because its rough on them, not me, but hard for them !!
