My class didn't have five or ten year reunions. We have a school reunion. I attended in 2001 when only two of us from my class attended. I received an invitation for the 80th anniversary of my school about two weeks before it was scheduled so I didn't attend. Last week I received another invitation to another 80th anniversary reunion. Maybe I will attend and represent my class.

my 20th is in 2 yrs and i have already been asked to serve on the reunion committee....i skipped my 10th but now i have to go to the 20th.....
i did the cheer, v. sport, class officer, clubs and stuff so of course you get nabbed to do these things :(

i'm sort of in a unique situation with this. i went to school my entire life at one school in pa, but graduated hs in ohio. i moved about 2wks before sr. year.

soooooo, my reunion time is going to be different. didn't have a 5yr at either, but will most likely have a 10. although i honestly will only ever go to the one in pa. a few weeks back i was at a friend's wedding in pa and actually saw a lot of old hs friends/foe, etc. i even talked to my old hs class advisor and found out that the reason we didn't have a 5yr was b/c the historian for our class (the one responsible for planning it) was getting married to her hs sweetheart that summer. :rolleyes:
anyhow, my class advisor said he doesn't know if we'll end up having a 10yr reunion, but i really hope we do b/c i really really want to see how everyone turned out. i also want to be catty and go back and show everyone how well i've done. (seeing as how a lot of the b*tches in my class only got their associates and i'm getting my second bs :D God i'm catty!) no i wasn't overly popular and quite frankly some of these people made my hs career hell, but i really do want to know how they turned out.

ps - yes, i have major issues

Very funny that I stumbled upon this thread the day I got my invite for my ten year! It'll be next year, but I'm already feeling really old!

I'm really curious to see how many people actually show up...we had almost a 1000 in the class!

My mom told me she saw something in the paper a while back about my class having a five year reunion, but I havent heard anything more about it since.

I dont think they got a very good response so they decided to ditch the whole idea.

I prob wouldnt have gone anyways, all I have to do is go by the wal mart at home, or something and i see most people, or i hear things from various friends about so and so.

My 10 year reunion was last fall.

It sucked.

Hard.

- Only about 40 people showed up out of a graduating class of ~230
- The DJ was way too loud. Uh, you go to a reunion to catch up, not to be deafened by bad music.
- The food was so-so
- The bar only had the cheap stuff. The "2 hour" open bar ended 15 minutes early and converted to a vastly overpriced cash bar.
- There were 5 separate reunions being run by the same reunion company in the same area, in adjoining rooms separated only by air walls.
- We could optionally submit a bio of what we'd been up to the past 10 years, to be printed in the program. They wouldn't print mine because I refused to release my street address. (If you'd known some of the people I graduated with, you'd know why I withheld my address!)
- It was expensive - more than half again what we paid for our prom, which was at a MUCH nicer venue. (Yeah, prom was 10 years earlier - even so.)

I'm not sure if I'll be going to my 20th. If the 20th is run by the same people who ran the 10th, though, NFW am I going.

My 10 year reunion is next year. I recently got email from our senior class president sort of letting me know about it, verifying my contact info, etc. I was pretty impressed, I always liked her, but didn't know if we'd ever actually have a reunion - she wasn't organized that way :p

I'll probably go, because I live fairly close. Most of the people I would want to see probably won't go, though.

I went to my 20 year reunion last fall. The women all looked exactly the same and I didn't recognize any of the men, so I was glad for the name tags. They'd all gotten taller, rounder and had a lot less hair. I socialized with a lot of people and it was great to catch up with some folks. I only keep in regular contact with my 3 closest friends and run into a couple here and there in the community. I spent most of the time talking with the guy who taught me how to play euchre in physics class. He had a friend with him and I introduced myself to him, saying that I didn't think I'd had him in any classes (we had over 700 in our class). He told me he was in that physics class too but that he was kind of a wallflower in high school. I said that I was too, and the first guy laughed so hard he choked on his beer. I had perceived myself as very quiet and shy, not coming out of my shell until college, but apparently others didn't perceive me that way!

I honestly agree with this. When I attended my 10th reunion, I felt as if some of the people there were desperately trying to make-up for a lost decade by acting snooty. Good grief. :rolleyes:
