I'm a "year rep" for my class. There are five of us, but only another girl and myself are really all that active. The others only come out of the woodwork around reunion years. Anyway, the school has a weekend planned, including a chapel service and dinner. It's our job to plan the other event, the one that is just for our class. In 2003, we went to a pub after the school event and had a few drinks.
I graduated with a small class of 100 and there were quite a few people who were upset we didn't have a 5-year reunion in 2002. The only reason we didn't was because the Class Pres was serving in the Marines in Japan and the VP didn't want to have to do all the work.
He said we will have a 10-year, though. Most of the class reunions are the same: held during the county fair with a picnic one day at the lake and a gathering at one of two bars in town one night. There's not much else to do in our small town.

My five year reunion was held in 2002. I had a graduating class of about 170. The basic rule of thumb is that reunions for my high school are held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Reason being that all the people that have left, which would be the vast majority, will be home for Thanksgiving.
Mine turned out pretty nicely, we had it at one of the local country clubs and I had a blast. I think the only reason ours turned out nice was because the wife of the class president planned it. My sister had her 10 year reunion the same night and her's sucked. They had it in the banquet hall of a bowling alley.
