Golden Jubilee Celebrations of our Final Class in School.

This sounds very special. what an event. I hope you took plenty of pictures on both dates. What a remembeance this will be for years to come. i am such a nastalia freak I would probably cry and carry on like an idiot. You might even want to have a oncore later on too.

Congratulations! No I haven't had a celebration like this nor will I ever. Once highschool was over I cut all ties with my friends. I guess all of them are on facebook but I am not on Facebook. I have no desire to see them. It is so refreshing to see you guys stayed so close.

Congrats! The only 50th I had was my birthday a few years ago. I don't go to my school reunion. Went once. At the 10 year. The students that showed up, all but 3 were stuck-up snobs. My Father emptied septic tanks for a living and everyone thought I was beneath them. 10 years later, they still thought I was beneath them. My Mom went to a small school with a graduating class of 11. She loved her reunions. Mine was 170 and about 100 people showed up, only 3 wanted to be bothered with me. 2007 would have been my 30th, but I didn't go. It's expensive. Formal attire, $50 bucks for dinner and a band. Now my brother's class has a picnic. Everyone brings some food. They play volley ball and swim. Some sit in the shade and talk. That would be fun and more my style. But more undesirable people like me would show up so they'll never have that. I'm sure they're thankful for the resession, fewer people like me can afford to go. Glad yours isn't like mine. We graduate in June here for school. Feb would be different for us. Nice topic, thanks and take care.

It must be very interesting to meet your classmates again. Unfortuneately I haven't had the chance to have a reunion with my classmates. Some years after we left school one of my classmates organized a meeting similar to the one that you had with your classmates, but I wasn't able to go about of my work, so I wasn't able to see my classmates again. It would have been nice to talk to them again and hear how their lives have been since we left school. I managed to find some of my classmates on Facebook, but not all of them. The women are hard to find, because many of them changed their names when they got married.

veejay anna, yes, my online friends whom I met thru social network- we celebrate our anniversary every year. We are planning for a big celebration this coming April or May for our 5th year anniversary Good to know that you are hosting such event dear anna- hope to be there someday

The last celebration like this that my class had was our ten year reunion that was held in 2008. I really wanted to go to it so that I would be able to catch up with some of the people that I had graduated from high school with, but the cost of the event was far more expensive than our family could attend, so we didn't go to it. However, I have had the opportunity to visit with some of those people that I was the closest to over the years and that does work for me because there were a lot of people in my class that I really didn't know and really wasn't friends with.

2012 is the 60th of my graduating from high school. My class will be one of the honored classes at the annual alumni banquet. The alumni banquet is open to all persons who have ever been associated with our little school. We were honored in 1962, 1972, 1982, etc. The honor is only getting to eat first and having our individual names called out. To attend this reunion, I would have to drive 500 miles. I thought about going but changed my mind. Now, I';m considering going to the annual get-together of just my class that will be held the closest Saturday to Memorial Day. Just my class will be more intimate. lI'm beginning to feel a need to do this. There were only 18 of us when we graduated, and half of them are gone already.

I think it's great that you all are getting together. I know there are a lot of people that have reunions such as the one you are having but I have never been involved in one. When I was a child, I remember we had huge family reunions every year. My grandmother would plan them. She was the thread that held everyone together.
