High School Reunion - Page 3

Athey49 · 07-18-2025, 07:45 PM

Maybe it's because of the size of my class (50 people), but we never really had the usual cliques, everyone knew each other. I enjoyed our last reunion. I don't have Facebook so it was interesting hearing what some of the people were up to.

The poll should have been broken down by age. All the old people I know wouldn't miss a reunion for anything. They look forward to it. My uncle just had his 60th and catching up with other Vietnam vets meant the world to him.

I'm 41 and half my Facebook friends are people from high school. I already know everything there is to know about them. It's not really a reunion when you never fully lose touch. I'm surprised reunions haven't been phased out.

Realistically, how many people of that vintage are on Blowout, aside from Corndog?

There’s no option for us dropouts. And if there was, the people I was close with are the last people I want to associate with now.

Been there, done that. Thank you New York City high school system. I’ll see myself out.

Been to none so far and probably won't go to any in the future. The ones I wanted to keep in touch with I have connected with over social media. We occasionally hang out but that's about it. Don't really care about the rest of them.

There were 580 seniors in my graduation class.
We have a reunion coming up in September with payments due by August 7th to reserve the venue.

So far 30 have paid along with 15 spouses.

I am not going.

I have friends that I keep up with on FB and that is fine by me.
Don't have an interest in what everyone else is doing.

This is similar to my school. I graduated with over 600 kids. I didn't know everyone I went to school with when I was in school let alone 25 years later. People post in the Class Facebook page all the time and I am like, who the hell is that???

I talk with 1 person from high school. I honestly don't care what people have done with their lives. Its like old coworkers. I wish them the best, but have no reason to keep up with what they do in life.
