Yep, same here. I ended up skipping way too much school. Good thing my sis went thru 2yrs before me which helped me. Although I had to make up quite a few days in Sat school.

Towards the end of the year, when I got to school in the am, one of the vice principals would hold my car keys till the end of the day so I'd stay there all day. Good thing I had spares,

 

Did you guys see that coming while in high school?

 

Not really...... she was fairly conservative in dress, her family was the memebers of some church and very active in it... cant remeber the name of it, but the women won't cut thier hair and all the women wear long denim skirts everyday. I took her out once and we bumped into each other at parties often.... she had a wild side but kept it hid while in public where her parents might find out....

After school she left became a model for Hanes, I think still on the box of hanes bras last time I looked. Her parents got divorcerd wife/mom got the succesful real estate business.....dad had to join another office.... Then that was about as far as modeling went, didnt find anything else so started in adult entertainement........

 

Our 1967 Homecoming Queen was a Playboy centerfold in 1970.

At the HS reunion in 1977, the minute she came through the door, about 1/2 of the guys there excused themselves, hurried out to their cars to get their copies to bring in to have her autograph them...


LOL

 

I cant for the life of me remember her screen name... I googled her real name and came up with blanks.... I'll ask around and see if I can find out, and find her website agian.

 

I've been to both my 10 and 20 year reunions. I left my small town home right after High School for the Army, and never went back. I lost track of most of my old friends and team mates. I enjoyed seeing how people have changed, and how some people haven't learned a damn thing since they were 12 years old. Good entertainment. Worth every penny.

 

Went to my wife's 20 year reunion last year and we had a great time!

It was overpriced - $150/couple, not including drinks, which were also way overpriced.

They had made a slideshow that they had running in the background. DJ played lots of the old party tunes from the '80s.

The food was good and the company was better.

 

One of the happiest days of my life was when I walked out the doors of my high school for the last time! If they held my Class Reunion across the street from my house there'd be a better-than-average chance I wouldn't go! Although I have to admit that there is some satisfaction gained when I go back to my hometown and see guys who were considered "cool" in high school, and now they're just these fat, miserable, old slugs who drag themselves out of bed every morning to go work a dead-end job at the shingle plant!

However, I would LOVE to go to a class reunion from my college days -- I really miss all the friends I made during my years attending Moorhead State University! College was just so fun and liberating compared to the "caste" social system that was in place at my high school!

 

I am going to my 50th in June. First one ever.
I am a Marine Corps Brat, so lived all over but did the last three years in the same high school then left for college and never went back to the town.

My father retired in the next town over and somehow a few years back the organizer found him and then tracked me down and we have been corresponding for a couple of years. Looks like we will get about 25% of the class attending the reunion. Wonder if any of us will recognize each other??
I have my 1957 Yearbook still and will bring it along.
I am really looking forward to it, but if it is a bust, my stepmom still lives within 20 miles of the town as do a brother and sister of my wife.
The town, btw is Fallbrook, CA. a rather long way from Atlanta.

I've got my 20th coming up in the Fall in Connecticut. Since I married a girl from my high school, we will most likely be attending.

 

I think you will enjoy it Steve. My Son and daughter-in-law and two grandkids live in Newington and we visited them there three weeks ago.

I had a neat thought.

Does anyone know of a rental car agency or such that rents "vintage" cars?
I would love to drive into the parking lot with a nice 57 Bel Air or similar Ford or what have you. I will only be doing this once so cost is not a huge object.
Also, I have 3 1/2 months to organize it if anyone can help out. I will be flying into San Diego if that helps.

I know they have places that rent "vintage" type cars in LA and in Las Vegas -- I've seen it on TV before. I bet if you "googled" it you'd find something......

 

Yes, you can rent them by the day, week, month, year. I run across one of the websites when I was searching for a car.

How about pulling up in a 1957 Chrysler 300C. One of my favorite cars of the 50's.

 

10 year coming up this summer. It's at a country club. I plan on going. I've seen quite a few people I went to school with and most have gained anywhere from 20 to a 100 pounds, where I have lost about 70 pounds. So I'm looking forward to it. Plus somehow I got a very hot girlfriend to take to it.

 

That is my theory also, I graduated high school in 1985 and i have never been to a class reunion. There is no one i want to see from high school.
