My 10th year reunion was pretty fun.  What was really funny is my classmates didn't even recognize me - they all thought they went to school with my date.

I skipped my 20 year, but went to my 25 year.  I was rather disappointed with that one.  I was expecting the 25 year to be a grand event, and it had really low attendance.  We had a class size of about 350, and there were at most 60 people who showed to the 25 year reunion - that includes spouses in attendance.  All the 25th year included was dinner, then people randomly scattered - no DJ, no speeches, nothing.

I've graduated 48 years ago and have never been to any of my H.S. reunions.  I don't live in Calif. anymore and haven't for probably 45 years so I've never rec'd any info. on my reunions.  I did call the school several years ago and gave them my contact info. to pass on to whoever was heading up class reunions but still never heard a word from anyone.  I prob. wouldn't have gone anyway.  I've been to a couple of my husbands' but didn't really enjoy them.

No, I haven't been to any of my high school reunions (not for sure if they even had any).  I didn't really care for the high school I graduated from nor most of the people that went there.  We moved when I was in the 10th grade and I had to go to a different high school.  There were so many different "groups" of people in that school and no one liked to include "outsiders" into their groups.
Have a wonderful day!

I went to my 10th reunion and was disappointed how few people turned out.  I haven't been to one since.

I haven't been to any class reunions in years.  Although the ones that I did go to were fun.  Some of them I didn't hear about until after the fact.

I haven't been to a H.S. class reunion in years.

I went to our 9th years....one of classmates had cancer so we had the reunion at 9 years rather than 10 years.

I've gone to several All Class Reunions with my husband.  They are ok.

I go to reunions because everyone else seems to have aged, but not me. I've stayed just the same all this time.  :o

Made you look! :P Yes, I am totally joking. We don't see ourselves aging but everyone else does, especially if it's been a while since they've seen you.

I went to my 5th class reunion...decades ago.  I don't really care about them.  I stay in touch with my friends from high school and they don't attend either.  No big deal.

I did not get an invitation to my reunion, and so wasn't able to go. Before that, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go or not.

I too have been out of school for over thirty years and never been to a reunion, I am sure it is fun.

I moved out of the country so could never attend one since I did not know when they were happening, with the arrival of facebook and twitter we have managed to gather a big group, we were about 400 students and with facebook connection we are about 1/2, so we got together for our 25th and even though not all of us went it was nice and had a lot of fun.  Next year we are going to have our 30th and I believe that this time there will be more of us, if everything works out for me I will definitely travel back home for that one.

Probably won't go my HS reunion... Don't really like my previous classmates nor my friends I hanged out with in my HS days... Rather associate myself with my college peers/friends more

The small school I went never had a class reunion, we always had  a school reunion. But have not had one in 15 years. So many have passed on. But at he last reunion the oldest person at that time was 92. and the person who came farest was from Austraila . But it was fun. Of course there were only 23 in my class. But oh the stories we heard.
