blueiron Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The only reunion I ever went to was a reunion from my military days. I had fun catching up with some of the guys I hadn't seen in years. High school? I just didn't care for the vast majority of people I shared classes with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Went to my 10 year one. Same cliques of people hanging together egos and all that crap. Reminded me of the high school hallways and days from before. Never went to another one. Dave.. Edited November 16, 2019 by DrB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I went to my first one or two but People acted like they were still in school. They seemed like they didn't mature much at all. I found that I really had little in common with them and just ignored the invites. My last was an Impromptu 55 year reunion, and the numbers were so low that they had it in a bar in town. I think I got a letter saying 5 or 10 people were there. I religiously got invitations because my "first teen heart throb", that lived two doors down from me was on the reunion committee, and she was friends with my wife, so I got invites every year anyway.

Duluth Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Class of '85. I've never been to one and have no interest in going to one. I went to an all boys Catholic military school. If was a co-ed high school I might be tempted to see how the girls turned out. Or maybe not...it might be depressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much my retirement plan as well. Just going to be there one day and not the next. Edited November 16, 2019 by Historian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clancy Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I didn't go to my senior prom, have not gone to any reunions, and don't intend to. I hated high school, and have no desire to relive or reminisce about a single moment, especially with a group of people that I did not like. The 3 guys I graduated with that I were tight with felt the same, and they have all since passed away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I went to the 20 year one in 2002. Skipped the 25. Will probably go to the 30, and then move out of state. I stayed local, and have a few close associates from school still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Went to a few of them, including the 50th which was probably the final one for my class. A good friend from those days persuaded me to go. Saw a few people each time I had been friends with while in school, as well as some teachers I had appreciated, so I guess they were worth my efforts.

Wrango Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I've been to two of my HS reunions in the past 34 years, both early on. I'll not be going to any more of them. Just a bunch of A-holes that show up to see who's doing well and who isn't. Same old s*#t as in HS. No thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS_Rider Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Never been to one. I recently blew off my 30th reunion. My circle of friends was small but well chosen. Even scattered across the US we're connected on social media and occasional meet up when schedules align. Aside of remembering a couple of names the rest of them would be little more than a room full of strangers to me. No animosity, just no interest. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way I wanted it when I retired from the navy. I told them I didn't want a ceremony but when I walked into the shop on my last day, everyone was standing in ranks. Even the frickin Admiral was there. After making a show of giving me my retirement certificate and end of tour awards, the Admiral asked me to say a few words. So I said, "If I ever run into you mugs on the streets, let's pretend that we never met." Then I walked out. The Admiral was not pleased, let me tell you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I've been to a few since I graduated in '87, and I've skipped more. I don't bother with the ones that charge $100/plate. If it's a cookout in the park or a night at a bar near my parents' house, I consider it. I've kept in regular contact with 2 of the friends I had, and neither of them ever go. There are a half dozen other people I'd like to see, but they've never been at the ones that I've been to, so I've lost any real desire to go. Being the braintrust/geeks, most of us didn't enjoy the Lord of the Flies aspects of high school. Also, I did have a couple nutball PETA freaks get loudly pissed at me at one of the earlier ones because I said I gave up vegetarianism for hunting tasty Bambi, and I was like, WTF? You didn't know me well enough in high school to know why I was a vegetarian in the first place (factory farms and feedlots, not an issue with killing my food), and you aren't bothered by all the other people at your table eating steak, what the heck is your problem? The biggest amusement to going is seeing how people have aged. There's a certain amount of schadenfreude in seeing old, fat cheerleaders that wouldn't give you the time of day as teens... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I've been to a few, but I've avoided most of them. An old friend was bugging me to go to the last couple and when he called me up from the last reunion, I felt sorry for him and picked up the phone. Then the butt head handed the phone to somebody else while claiming they wanted to see me. It put everybody on the spot and I ended up at the reunion. It was the same old dynamic with all the jocks lording over the proceedings and snubbing the rest of us. And the big surprise was that the people I didn't like in High School were still butt heads at the fortieth. The really weird thing was they had this sandwich board up on the stage with pictures of all the people who had passed. One of my best friends was one of them. I suppose at the next one, there will be more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
