Happy Weekend!

Do you still have your yearbooks from high school?

We lost all our yearbooks during Hurricane Agnes in 1972. It does bother me sometimes, because I'll see somebody from school and then I'd like to see their senior picture and we don't have the yearbooks.

I do, though IDK why I keep it. Not the best time of my life, I'm not friends with anyone from that time period and my yearbook photo is utterly awful. Yet can't seem to chuck it in the trash.

I only got one for senior year but I do still have it as well as my college one. Our local library has all of the high school ones scanned and available online. I have my mother's 1950 high school yearbook packed away somewhere as well.

I have my junior and senior high school yearbooks. Not often but from time to time I will look someone up and read the messages people wrote to me.

Yes, but they're at my dad's house still so I couldn't grab one right this minute

Where my cats are
Yes I bought one 3 years in high school and in 8th and 6th grades. DH’s senior yearbook is with them on our big bookshelves too. I’ve shown them to our kids and they were very amused! My DH’s hair was the best part I think. ;)

I still have my Sophomore, Junior and Senior Yearbooks. I occasionally look at the Senior book. None of the 686 graduates likely live nearby as I graduated from a High School in Maryland.

I have every yearbook from kindergarten all the way through my senior year. Well they are at my momma and daddy's house. In fact a lot of things from when I was younger (school age) are kept at my parents house.

You must have read my mind because this was going to be my exact answer. No idea why I still keep it. I don't live anywhere near where I grew up so there's like a 0% chance that I'd run into any of them and I likely wouldn't recognize them or even care to if I did.

I have the four from my high school years. I also have several from when I was the yearbook advisor when I taught middle school long ago and far away.

I have the 3 yearbooks I bought in high school (I didn't get one my sophomore or junior year) and I also have 3 from middle school. They are all stored in a large tote that is essentially my primary school memory box. I wish I had kept my elementary school ones, but I was a little jerk as a kid and drew on the pictures of kids and teachers I didn't like.

I have a few, but there are probably more floating around.
Here's a video yearbook for anyone who went to school between 1900 and 2010. Pretty cool video TBH.

I do. I have the one from senior year, and I have a little booklet from Jr. High (there was no middle school back then).

Unfortunately, when I moved my dad and me, (at the same time); I mistakenly threw out a box of books, and it contained my High school yearbook. There have been so many times, I wished I still had it..
