Did you high school class have a 5yr reunion?

[pstokely]

If it did, did you even go to it?

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Yes and No. Same for 10 year. Same for 15 year. 20 year is coming up

next year and I doubt very much that I'll be in attendance. I stayed in touch with the friends I wanted to keep. :hi:

2. Same here.

Someone sent me photos from the 20th. Lots of fake tans, fake boobs, veneers, and bottle blonde. I kept my close friends, and we see each other frequently. But the ones that I didn't care for then, I still don't care for now.

3. My high school had a 5 yr reunion.

I attended. I didn't like any of the people I went to school with and I didn't like them any better at the reunion. So why did I go? I was curious to see if any of them had grown up and changed. They hadn't. And I haven't gone to a reunion since. It helps that I live 2500 mi from where I went to school.

4. No, I don't think so

and I didn't go to our ten yr reunion either...I'm still trying to forget most of those people...:D

5. Hell they tried to get me to plan the damn thing

I was an class officer my senior year and someone tracked me down and said part of my responsiblities as beinga senior class officer was to help plan the reunions.

I laughed my ass off at that one and said "No Way" Only reason I ran for office was to get out of class and the usually College Resume building. I was just the Correspondance Secretary

6. I'm not sure if they had a 5 year

My 25th was in '05 - I haven't gone to any of them. As other posters have said, I stayed in touch with the people I wanted to and the rest, I really don't much care.

I've never understood the big deal about high school and high school reunions. It's a relatively short period of your life when you're really just a kid. All the friendships I've made since then have been deeper and more lasting with the exception of maybe one or two. Really, all you have in common with your high school friends (for the most part) is the fact that you were in high school together.

7. I have no idea

Now that I'm not legally obligated to spend time with those freaks, I don't have any desire to do so.

:shrug:

8. Did we go to the same school?

I doubt my class even had one. Our senior trip to Disney World was canceled cause barely anyone wanted to go. We were the first class in school history to not go on a senior trip.

[LeftyMom]

11. No, you're way too sane to be a classmate.

:)

[terrya]

9. No. I had zero desire to revisit those years.

[Blue-Jay]

10. Yes. I went, but haven't gone to one since then.

At the five year reunion, I realized that I still didn't like most of the assholes I went to HS with. The ones I did like, I was still in contact with, and the rest of them can go fuck off.

[TheMightyFavog]

12. Yes. I went.

Had fun.

[cloudbase]

13. None yet

and it will be 35 years in 2008. I doubt I'd go back, anyway. Got my college 30th this year, which I'll definitely be attending.

[Jimbo S]

14. Yes and Yes.

We had 461 in our graduation class.

We had a five-year. Most were still/jusr out of college and starting their careers, so not much to talk about.

Ten-year was the best so far. About 150 showed up. By that time people had started mellowing out and realized it was time to get over the old cliques. Everyone was going up and talking to everyone, something one wouldn't have seen in school.

Fifteen-year only 75 showed up and the venue wasn't conductive to socializing.

Twenty-year a hundred of us attended and was well planned. Hired entertainment that had activities that required we mingle.

Why so few attend I'm not sure since more than half still live in the area.
------
Reasons I go is touch base with those I haven't spoken with in years, plus seeing all the popular people get fat and bald while I still look ten years younger (same with my wife). :)
------
My wife went from public schools to a Lutheran high school where she knew noone and hasn't gone to a reunion.

15. My graduating class sucked so much

That out of 300+ students they could never get enough people interested in having a reunion -- not even after 20 years.
