I went to HS in a very small town, where most people either come back after college (or don't go at all), or still have parents who live there. There are two high schools and it's a HUGE DEAL about where you went to school.
A few years ago, someone started a "Fallen Alumni" group on FB. It's really more of an "Idiots' Reunion," though. The grammar and syntax violations are not indicative of one of the best schools in the nation. People are posted five and six times. Rumors about dead classmates are volleyed back and forth with wild abandon.
My favorite was when someone joined the group and all of these people were like, "oh, he was such a good guy! I just saw him yesterday." And the guy replied, "Nah son I'm not dead I just joined FB late"
