Well a decade's come and gone, 1992+10=2002.
My, how people change. :eek:
Oh, why am I saying this? There are people younger than I am here so I'm only making myself look like a balding old fart! :o
Besides, now that the reunion is over, I just have to look foward to the next 10 year one... which will mean 20! :cry:

You're not old, you're just 3 years older then me. Hey the senior class will always be cool to me. :thumb: But I understand, the thought of my reunion is unsettleing......you realize you're not a kid anymore.

Anyway, that took a lot of bravery to go to your class reunion.

1992? Can I ask you, what did music did they play at your reunion? Any late '80s stuff, or was it strictly early '90s? Nirvana? Pearl Jam?

Sometimes reunions can make you cringe before you go to them because you start thinking old, but once you get there and see what your former classmates look like today, a lot of times you feel much better about yourself after seeing that good looking high school jock who used to bug you and is now 40 pounds heavier and balding. :lol:

Vince, no music played at the reunion. Just a quiet day in the park with a barbacue and swingsets and slides for the kids.

I would say about 5 of us men, including me, were the only ones who looked in shape.
2 of the others had lost their hair completely! :eek:

I myself got away with something at the reunion... but that's a post for another time. :sneaky: heheheh

You know from what I've heard from people outside the U.S., class reunions seem to be, for the most part, a distinctly American tradition. In many other countries, it appears that students graduate and then never see each other again unless they happen to run into each other or were good friends already.

Whether it's good or bad American tradition I don't know. In America we make these high school classes like a large extended family, a family in that they kinda follow you you around till the day you die. Like family, you always know you have to see them again one day. I heard a news report once about a high school having a "50 and 60 year class reunion" :eek: It makes us feel old yes, and we feel pressured to keep up with out school mates yes, but I suspect we would feel all that anyway, just by realizing that 5, 10 or 15 years passed.

Anyway, I wonder how they handle reunions with large classes. My class consisted of 400-500 students. In the movies when they do reunions, they always make it out to be like a class consisted of 50 people,.......but I suppose only 50 people show up!! :lol:

With sites like http://classmates.com it makes it all that much easier. ;)

I hated and dispised the majority of the people in my senior class, I can count on one hand the number of Seniors I talked too. My best friends in HS were a yr and 2yrs behind me, the last one just graduated :)

In 2 yrs, my elementary school across the street will turn 100 yrs old, in the 6th grade '94, we buried a time capusle :) I cant wait to go back to that :D

Ty, well maybe you can go to those reunions instead. ;)
Hey, if those younger classmates are your true friends, they'll accept you. :)

I'm the class of 1994, so I have 2 more years til my reunion. I feel bad enough saying I've been out of high school for 8 years, so 10 is gonna feel worse. I keep telling myself I have another 2 years to prepare myself for it.

Shortie..try admitting that you've been out of high school 21 years! I drove past a sign the other day that said "Welcome CHS class of 1992" now THAT's what made me feel old!

Once you hit a class reunion, you're up there with the rest of us old folk!

<----- Class of '80.....

Have to correct you Steve....Priest's biggest album was "Screaming For Vengeance", which came out in '84.

<<<<<Class of "81"...don't feel TOO bad Pagan, we're not getting older...we're getting better.

I thought Priest's biggest album was "British Steel" from 1980.
Anyways, "Screaming for Vengeance" was 1982 and
"Defenders of the Faith" was 1984.
"Turbo" then followed in '86.

I doubt my highschool will ever have a reuinion. They attempted it but no one went. My school had zero spirit. But I have met friends whom I havent' seen since elementary school and that is always a lot of fun! :)

Hey, you could always throw your own personal reunion just for you and those close friends. ;)

As I have mentioned before, I won't go to mine. I don't think Sprague had one for the class of 92, but even if they had one, or plan to have a 20 year, I will never go. I hated my high school.

I just want to leave that in the past.

I used to take soccer lessons there in the summer!

So what was the school itself like?

Do you really want to know??? ;)

I only went there for my junior and senior year, 91-92. Well, my personal opinion is this:

(warning: heavy flame coming)

I HATED the school. I would rather have my nuts burned in hot oil than return there. About 90% of the kids were SUPER stuck up, rich little $hits, parents bought them their new car and if you didn't own a new car, you were scum. Everybody thought they were better than you. The disciplinary teacher was a BITCH (even those who didn't get in trouble hated her... shes not there anymore), and none of the teachers really cared about you.

Just a bunch of spoon fed stuck up snot nosed brats who thought they owned the planet and their new car that rich mommy and daddy bought was better than the car you worked and earned the money for.

I spend 1 year at North High and LOVED it. If Sprague burned down tomorrow, I couldn't care less. I hated it in 92 and I hate it in 2002. I knew a few people who weren't stuck up and even they hated it.

Hey... you asked!

Be thankful you didn't go there.

This is exactly why I would never attend a reunion. And this isn't just my feelings, there were many others who felt the same way.

<~~ Class of 2000 (1st class of the milennium) Gods how I hated that... since 2001 was the official start of the millennium. My school milked the Y2K thing to the last drop! :rolleyes: I gave them a taste of it, when last curtain call on my pranks at the school was to shut down all the computers in the entire buliding. The funniest thing was to see the teachers take attendance by hand! :lol:

Boy am I showing my age! I didn't know there was any other way of taking attendance lol :rolleyes:

Aaron, I knew a guy from North. :)
Do you remember James Alderson, also from '92?

Oh god I have no idea. I went to North High in 1990 and I only knew a VERY small handful of people

Back then I might have heard his name, but now I have no idea who he was.

At least North was a cool school, unlike Sprague.

Thanks anyways. :)
If so, I'd ask you to say "Hi" for me. ;)

Yikes! :o

This makes me feel old too! :lol:

Back when I was in high school, in the dark ages of the early and mid '90s, we were still doing the hand thing! Teachers called out your name, and you yelled out "here" or "present", or like colleges, you sign a piece of paper.

How did late '90s/early 2000s high schools take attendance? I'm guessing it was done by filling out a scantron?

Attendance was taken taken by scantron, but flied by computer... when i shut them down, they had to mark every single student by hand in the main office :mwaha:

They never found me out :devil:

Geez....I didn't even know they did attendance that way...I'm another early/mid 90s high schooler...always done by hand. Same thing in college though and I just finished that 6 year insanity this year...most didn't even bother with attendence there :lol:

I just noticed that... they never do attendance in College! At least not like in HS

Hey Roemy, wanna help with my assignments this semester? Pretty please? I'll make you your favorite chocolate pie ;):biglick:
