Do you still have your high school yearbooks?

I hated high school, couldn’t wait to get out.  I have the senior year book at mom’s somewhere, but honestly couldn’t care less.

Recently, because of Facebook and all the other online deals, I have been contacted by some people I knew then, and it’s been great to catch up.

OK OK OK I am going for NC, have to.

Having said that I so like that kid Crosby with Pittsburg (is it?)

Only watched one game last night. If NC is home then we can’t watch it on TV.

I want to get aboard the "pie chart" express.  To me the thing looks as though it is made of tile which nobody bought and which needs to be grouted.  Fix it or get rid of it.

I sure do! Both High school and College Yearbooks. It’s so fun getting together with forever friends and whipping out the yearbooks for memories and a good laugh.

Oh gad.  I remember that I butchered my eyebrows so badly that I had to literally "etch them in" on my photographs in my senior year yearbook.  Sigh.  Well at least I don’t have that problem now, abeit it is interesting having dark brows and silvering hair.   Go silver!!!

I graduated high school in 1975.  I just pulled out the yearbooks last year when I joined Facebook and people from high school were contacting me.  I had to look them up to see who they were!

I’m another one who didn’t like high school & couldn’t wait to get out & away. 

I had bought yearbooks & a class ring at the insistance of my mum (maybe because she didn’t graduate?…not sure of her motivation).  She also insisted on seeing me walk across the stage to get my diploma; something else I threatened to skip.

I stopped wearing the ring when my beloved grandpa gave me his old Moose lodge ring & haven’t seen it since.   

I was under the impression that the yearbooks were somewhere in the roomsful of crap in my packrat parents’ home.  A few months ago, one turned up in a closet of my spare bedroom; apparently it’s been following me like a bad reputation.  I spent an afternoon matching yearbook pics to postings on alumni sites, then tossed the book back in the closet.  I haven’t looked at it since.

 

Everytime there’s a class reunion, someone from my graduating class contacts my dad or kid brother to find out if I’m going to attend; but the invites are always issued late, so I don’t bother.  I don’t post on alumni sites & haven’t voluntarily kept in touch  with classmates, either.

 

Here’s another vote to ditch that awful pie chart.

No, I don’t have my yearbook.  The tradition in my family is to give our yearbooks to my paternal grandmother Alice.  It’s like being inducted into the family Hall of Fame!

My high school books got ruind in a flooded basement.  Surprisingly I don’t miss them as much as I thought I would.  Onward and upward!

I have my yearbooks but not sure which box they’re in - haven’t looked at them in more years than I can recall.

Re: pie chart.  I’m a bar graph fan, hint, hint!  ;)

I pull them out occasionally to look someone up.  I find them a real hoot!  Even better are the junior high annuals!!  Just looking at the hairdo’s makes my day a little brighter.

I have not looked at it in years. Just sit on a shelf collecting dust. The last time I talked to any from high school was a 20 reunion that was in 1993.
