Class Reunions-Revised

[mojave30cal]

I noticed on some of my HS class reunions that the beautiful
girls who were the cheerleaders now look like overweight hags
while the mousy girls who wore glasses, had braces and
blemished complexions all looked hot. I think it's better to
look hot in your older years than in your younger years. But
that's just me.

Been to all of the ole lady's since we live right here. Been to none of mine as I recall avoiding most of those folks back then, not sure why I'd want to get all cozy after 50 years.

Many are gone. Especially the ones I would have wanted to reconnect with. Those that are left generally look 20 years older than they should...

Went to my 20th and 30th reunions.My 50th is next year,but all in all I like leaving the past in the past.

I went to my 50th college reunion 8 years ago... wow! , ALL THE GIRLS LOOKED REALLY OLD...hummmmmm

I spent my last 2 years of high school at a vocational school.

My high school class of 1975 tried to not let us kids that went to vocational school attend the graduation. I'd went to this school since kindergarten.

They didn't succeed in keeping me from the graduation, but we weren't allowed to be in the senior class picture. We had to do a separate one.

Yeah...I never went to a class reunion.

I've been to one reunion...many years ago. The A***s were still the same. In 3 yrs will be the 60th. Doubt I'll still be here but if I am...I won't go. I think about a 3rd have passed out of 75 graduates.

I went to our 20th which was the last one we had. I saw no one there I wanted to visit with more than I did my wife. Our 50th is this year and it will be virtual on zoom. Out of 675 graduating I think 60 have signed up. I am not one of them.

The last one I went to was our 40th and we still had a decent turnout among the living. We've lost about 25 out of a graduating class of 110. Most of the gang I ran with are still alive and we have still have the snooty high class people that still look down at the rest of the class.

And as others have said, the pretty gals now look worse than the south end of horse that is heading heading north

My wife is from Vernal, that is 175 miles east of Salt Lake city.
She was on the cheerleading team also.
I do have to say that kids in this state, do learn to have fun, one way or another
even though, many have strict parents and teachings, to grow up with.

My HS was in the Bay Area, just three miles north of San Francisco. Everyting happen in this school
and only one of our classmates died, before graduation.
I did sports and had good grades until football season. It is hard
to do well in typing class, when your finger is bandaged to a tounge depresser
from a football injury.
However I was lucky, in that my teacher, was also my golf team coach
and let me slide on the typing test.

We kids had a lot of friends while going through grade and high school
since we were sort of a "Side show" being real to goodness "Triplets".
Two boys and a girl............
boy did my parents have their hands full.


My wife and I both went to our 40th to see all the friends and see how things were going.
I don't know about the 50th?

only went to my 10 year reunion .will never go to another one ,the stuck up crowd ,still was ,after working in factories ,for 40 years .the bullies at the plants were the same bullies in high school,and grade school ,people dont really ever change ,if you put them in the same situation

None of my HS bullies ever showed up. Some were dead, and some were not to be found thru internet searches.

Karma, right.....

My M-I-L went to Flint, Ohio H.S. Class of 48 or 49. There were 18 in her class. The only reunion they had was their 40th. 17 attended, one cheered them on from heaven! They all spoke for 5 minutes and enjoyed each other. Of the 17, 14 attended school together from 1st grade on. At the reunion they took a vote weather to have another reunion. It was unanimous 17-0 Never again. They had talked it over, from 40 years on, it's all down hill! They all loved each other and wanted to remember each other at their peak! In watching how life delt with her, They made the wise decision! She passed 8 years ago, having forgot how to live.

By the 45th, I saw a pattern. I was done.

Traveling to see a few good people just to say, "Hi," isn't worth it.

There was a girl in my class like that; she was really prudish, wore cat's eye glasses and her skirts never came above her knee (remember the late 60's-early 70's were all about miniskirts). I don't think she even dated until her senior year. At our 25th reunion, she showed up, looked pretty hot, and come to find out she had 7 kids and was on her third husband.

I went to my 25th and 30th. Large class of 560. Maybe 100 attended. It was fun but haven’t/won’t go to another. 40th would be in 2027. I’ve kept in touch with my good friends from high school. Hang out with a couple to this day. Don’t much care about the other 556.

My 50th was supposed to be in 2020, but Covid took care of that. They tried to reschedule several times but Covid would rise up again and then people lost interest. I doubt there will be another.

You learn a lot at reunions, like the hot girl you dated only dated you because you had the hottest car in high school ('64 GTO). That was disappointing. And all the guys you thought wouldn't last long after graduation didn't. And no one escapes aging.

We just had one last month.

My school was small - so many years ago the classes got together and started having multi-year reunions at a resort location. It works well because so few people show up from each class, but all the years put together makes for a good crowd.

My 50th was supposed to be in 2020, but Covid took care of that.

Same here, but in 2 months we're having our 50th + 2 reunion, and I'm going. I've gone to every reunion, and had a ball. And sometimes people do change. I think it was at my 25th reunion there was a guy who I was sure despised me back in high school. He ended up giving me a hug, and he has looked me up on Classmates.com for this reunion.

So anyway, I'm heavier than back then and sometimes walk with a cane, but I don't care. I'm going.

My 50th is coming up in July. I do not have many good memories from my time in high school. I'm more than a little apprehensive about going but am doing so to see one old friend in particular. Have not lived in the area since graduation so it should be interesting.
