Can anything good come of them?
I still call it The Jake.
30th this year, but saw pics of the 20th on FB and didn't see anybody that stirs much interest. But I would have to travel which makes it less compelling. I still talk to the ones that matter anyway.
I didn't go to my 10th or 20th reunion cuz I was on WW kayaking trips and it would cost too much$ to see people I didnt need to see but eventualy on my travels as a traveling HW guy I ran into Louise (always a nice person) one of the organizers, so i asked how it was ?
she said well it was interesting, the uncool people who back in the day might have been kinda nerdy /got good grades had gone to uni, had landed good jobs and were interesting to talk with
while a good % of the cool people had peaked at 16
she said alot of the girls looked good, alot of the guys not so much ... and this was only the 10th

My wife has her 20th this weekend.
We are staying out on Clearwater beach for 2 nights, walking distance or $2 uber to everything, pool bar, NO KIDS. Lots of good things.
I didn't go to my 25th last year. Too far to travel, and they didn't do it around a holiday. I am still in touch with the ones I want to be in touch with.

10th = I was on my 4th deployment to the Persian Gulf.
20th = I attended, like MPPG I banged a chick I briefly dated senior year. 9 months later she gave birth to a son who looks a lot like me. Her rich older husband has no clue.
30th = lots of fun. No more cliques, everyone was happy. Girls still looked good, guys looked like shit (missing teeth, fat, bald, etc...)
40th = 4 weeks from now, looking forward to it !

Just got my 40th notification. I didn't care for most of my classmates then, why would I want to see them now.

I went to one of them - 20th - but only because I was living pretty close by at the time. Mostly people that I wasn't all that close to while in school. I enjoyed it, though. Interesting to see all the different paths that people took.
What a difference the Internet age makes. My daughter still keeps in touch with her friends from college, high school, and all the way down to first grade using Facebook. That despite the fact that we moved cross country several times while she was growing up.
My wife and I went to the same HS and were in the same grade, though we didn't date until years later. I loved HS, had a blast. She hated it, and most of the people in it. Which made it really strange that I really didn't want to go to our 20th, but she really did. She talked me into it, and we both had a great time. I'm still in touch with my close HS friends, but there were tons of people I hung out with and partied with that I'd forgotten. Plenty of hot girls that were still just as hot, and single. If I wasn't married, it would have been a very interesting night.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.
My 20th was a few weeks ago.
Initially, I kinda wanted to go, but the more posts I saw leading up to it on the FB page, the more I remembered how much I hated HS.
I spoke to a girl who went, and she said it was awful. Highschool all over again. the cool kid cliques were in full effect, and she felt like shit and left early. She told me that she wished she hadn't gone.
I still speak to about 2 dozen people I went to HS with on a regular basis. None attended.

I went to most of mine and always had fun. I had a lake house in my hometown and they always held them at a nice state park on the lake over the 4th.
After my kids went to college and my folks passed, I sold the place. I would have gone this year, but we were in Aspen and it just wasn't in the cards.
Buncha old fucks around here.
Skipped my 10th and did something fun instead. Apparently if I'm single when my 20th rolls around though I should go.
20th is supposed to be the sweet spot. Look up the reasons on the internet. My class didn't have a 10th. Had a 20th. It wasn't totally boring and there were a few people there that made me glad I went. However it wasn't a lot to write home about. I can't imagine we'll have a 30th next year. We're all a bunch of losers. Class of '87. Says it all right there. The class years before and after us are much more interesting and have their shit together, with some of them having reunions on the 5 as well as the 10. Basically, YMMV.

For those banging old classmates at these things, do you do it in the back of the rental car or at the hotel?

It was my first reunion I was able to make since it was in June and the earlier ones were during winter holiday when I'm in Utah. We had about 30 show up, one as far away as Marshall island.
I feel fortunate that I'm still very close with several of my classmates, and many childhood friends. We still party together and play volleyball and drink some beer every Thursday night, go to camp in the Maine wood and shoot guns, Moto, golf etc always goodtimes
Haven't been to any. Didn't like most of my classmates then and I certainly don't now. The few I liked I keep in touch with, the rest...who cares? Odds are they feel the same about me, so no loss either way.
This year would be the 40th and haven't heard anything, so either they didn't have one, or I wasn't invited, which is fine by me.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
I suppose it depends a bit but by my 20th all cliques were a non factor. It was pretty amazing to see what people were up to, who had changed and how and the late blooming women had a blast putting it in the faces of all the dudes that didn't give them the time of day in hs. By 30th, everyone was generally just happy to catch up in person. FB has eliminated some of that for people that stayed close, but I've been amazed at people I've talked to at reunions that had fallen off my radar completely. Even the people I know that hated HS for all the usual reasons had a good time.
