Once I graduated high school, I never looked at those yearbooks. I graduated 8 years ago. Would probably be nice to remember people I went to school with, and maybe even some memories I had back then, but once you graduate it does not matter anymore. The real world sets in.
Also, you just don't care about them anymore unless you talked to them throughout high school. Then you still care about ones you talked to because you still hear from them for a while. Then sometime throughout freshmen year at college most fall of the face of the earth, and you only care about the ones you still hear from. Then eventually those people fall off the face of the earth whenever that is (likely throughout college).
Graduated over 50 yrs ago and recently looked at one because a friend mentioned someone we went to school with and I couldn't remember that person until I saw the photo.
I glanced at some of the notes friends wrote in the book and most just signed a first name and I have no idea who they were.
What was more interesting were the ads in the back of the yearbooks and remembering the businesses that are now long gone. A couple were for grocery stores and in the photos you can see some of the prices of the food items - oh, to have those prices now!
It always amazes me at how those who put me down the most in high school, are the ones who have lived the worst lives. I dropped out January of my senior year in 87. (Long story) I immediately, as in within the hour, signed up for adult education, and had my diploma in hand a short 8 weeks later. I chose not to walk with the class. I see some of them from time to time, the ones who were suppose to be successful are the ones who the least successful. The "hot girls" are not so hot anymore, or are drunks and/or obese now. The guys with the fast cars are the same way. I feel sorry for them sometimes.
My class graduated 64 years ago. Since that time, I have spoken to exactly two of the people in the class. One of them I ran into in the pharmacy and we spoke for about two minutes. He was the same bully he had been before we graduated. The other one I lost contact for 50 years and was able to reconnect by way of her son. We were best buds in HS and we now speak about once a month by phone. She refuses to have internet or email and since she still works every day !! on a computer I suppose I can understand.
Lost my yearbook in a flood but my friend (above) had an extra couple of copies (her father was on the school board) and she sent me one. It's on the shelf but I don't look at it often.
I graduated from high school in 1996, and I haven't looked at my yearbooks in awhile. When I have gone through them, it mostly brings feelings like "I wonder what happened to this person", or "I remember thinking this guy was cute."
I also graduated in 1996. The only yearbook i got was from 10th grade. I graduated from a school that had only about 350 students 9-12th my graduating class was about 60. I see most of everyone from school on facebook not that i care. People add me from school but never reach out to me it's a just a site to showoff what people are doing in life and people to thumbs up baby pictures or events. I barely go on anymore.
Haven't looked at any of the yearbooks since college and I was the Editor-in-Chief my senior year. It's all in the past and I could care less about those people today. I've never gone to a reunion and have no plans to ever attend one. With Facebook, all of that became obsolete.
My husband and I both graduated from the same high school class in 1965.
I remember laughing at the photos in my mother's yearbook, hairstyles being
different. Our own children thought our yearbook was funny, our grandchildren
will probably be laughing at our kid's yearbooks.
