Wow. There were 660 in my graduating class. I heard the ten year reunion only had 50-75 people there. And I wasn't one of them. I have no overwhelming desire to go to a reunion like that. Apparently neither did the other 600 or so that didn't show.
My son is the high school class of 2011; my wife and I will be 44.

I went to my 10 year reunion recently -- 2006. About 120 people showed up, but some of those were spouses. I had a big graduating class. About 700, I think. Lots of people I'd have loved to see didn't show up, but plenty did. I had a blast. I loved high school, and got on well with everybody from stoners to jocks to geeks to cheerleaders. Everybody but the cowboys. Never got along with the cowboys.

He did it with Jonathan Brandis, who also died.

Some of the ugly chicks turned out hot,
All of the hot chicks got fat.
All of the jocks were fat and bald.
All of the stoners were....oh yeah.....they were in the bathroom smoking weed. ::)

I'll second all of that except for the hot chick part. My best friend - who is more a sister than a friend - from high school is still every bit as gorgeous as she was back then. And yes, even ugly ducklings can become swans. One girl I went to school with 20 years ago, who was never really what I'd call "ugly" could now take the place of ANY model you could name me. We're talking smokin' hot girl.
We actually did have quite a bit of class spirit as a group, a lot of us were really,k really close, and what's worse is that due to family lives and hectic schedules this is about the only time we do see one another. What really shocked me was that I got the impression a lot of people came to it hoping they could see me....even though I went hoping I could see them!
Makes me think of Garth Brooks' "Unanswered Prayers." These ladies are beautiful, and one even had crush on me (whilst I had a crush on the other), but would I trade my life now for what might have been? Let me think....nope, not on your life. I love those people and that time of my life, but despite it's hardships, I wouldn't go back if I could (except maybe to fix one thing I regret). Crud, I would probably be the first suicide in my class if I went back these days.
(edit) How's that for off thread? :D
Oh, and RIP Roy - seriously :)
