At what age did you get rid of your yearbook? Or do you still have it?

I still have it. Didnt look at it for years until facebook and all these people started sending me requests. I was like who the hell is this, then busted out the yearbook. Made me realize how old everyone looks and of course I must look old too. The most disturbing thing is finding out how many people have died from my graduating class. I didnt keep in contact with anyone from school and the moved away. Now that I am conversing Im shocked to find out many have died from drugs, suicide or cancer.

I'm 60 years old and still have my old yearbooks. I only look at them right before or after a reunion.

My mom has most of ours and we look at them sometimes when we're home.

That is exactly what happened to me. So many people have passed away, many with young children.

I move around a lot and am getting tired of carrying these books around. Wondering if I should just toss them.

I graduated in '77 and still have mine. I look every few years and my kids laugh and laugh.

Still have mine. And my Mom still has hers. Fun to look through, so don't toss them! My great-uncles have their Boot Camp books and they are from World War II.

I still have mine.

I still have mine, 24 years later ... it's in storage. I'm certain I'll always keep it.
