Why? It's functional and much more accurate than "you guys" when speaking to women or mixed company, and has been in use by educated people in the South (or with Southern roots) for hundreds of years..

BTW, it's properly written "y'all".

I went to my 10yr, talked to a few people. Didn't stay too long. Most of the people I was expecting to see came way to late, or not at all. I skipped my 20yr because of dealing with the same BS.


If you want to go, then go. Do it for yourself, not for other people.

How can you not go if you've been looking forward to it?

I'm surprised there is only 12 people going and I wonder if they do not get a sizable amount of people if they'll even have it at all.

I graduated in 1983. We have a FB group for my class where everything is done. It makes it a lot easier. How is your class communicating? Do they have a FB group too? If not, they really should set one up

I would have if I was in town. It ended up being canceled due to a lack of interest.

Never went to any of my reunions, but I did go to my husband's 40th high school reunion.

His prom date with sat at our table. She was nice. A girl who had a crush on him was there too. First, she flirted with him.
Then she avoided him. It was amusing. He had a good time. I was bored. I doubt we would go again.

Really, if you are looking forward to going, go. It's one night and fifty bucks. Go for it.

Go for it. It took me 30 years to go to one. It was fine.

I am one of the few people I know who had an absolutely fantastic high school experience, I was very popular, and I've never been back to any of my reunions.

I had a great time in HS, was popular, the whole thing, yet have zero care to go to any reunion, and do not even keep in contact with anyone. If I wanted to know them, I would have still kept in contact with them. Likewise, if any of them wanted to still know me, or get in contact with me, well, everyone knows where a relative of mine lives, still lives, and could get the information from them if they cared enough.

I agree. I think they just wanted to weed out the people who wouldn't (or couldn't) cough up the money. I heard later that very people showed up, so they got their elite little group, just how they wanted it.

I'm missing something. Why would it be free? Who's paying for it?
