We went to our 40th. Same people in the same cilcks, huddled together, bragging about what they had done.
I played sports, but was kinda quiet and was never interested in playing the social popularity games.
My wife moved there in her senior year and wasn't in a "click".
We left early and haven't been back.

Over 500 seniors in my class but first year after they built the new one so class was split in half. Also had added Jr high so only 3 grades in HS. Only made the 50th as we combined visiting college friends in town at the time. Didn't make the 55th, 2 more years till the 60th. 20% aren't with us now, list gets longer. Most I ran around with were already gone.

I went to X1s 20 and my 25 and 30 yr .
Funny true story . Those girls that in school were over there and out of reach for a bandie , dated jocks , smart girls etc , were the ones that after 25 yr recognized me from across the room and came straight over to say hello and acted like we were old friends . I guess in a way we were , the band was the school champions in 83&84' so we were those weird school heros ....... Our school got bumped by a student count of 9 from AA to AAA from grad of 82 to start of 82-83' and by 7 to AAAA at the start of the next yr . We went for a state contender in football , baseball , basketball and track to wins in 83' grad having 1 solid win against a school without a senior class until 84' .
208 peak enrollment 186 grads in 84' . I didn't know half of the class unless they were jocks , bandies , or their folks were into flying .
At the 25th we had 74 and the 30th brought out only 52 . By my best count there's only about 90 of us left . There was a whole lot of the click rubbed off by 2014 , whole lot of very hard life miles on some of them . Lots of humble got slopped on the cocky ones .
Turns out the reason the girls shyed away was because I was just so self confident , I always just seemed like I had it all together , king of the world , but not cocky ........ I guess it was kind of intimidating .
Whatever I didn't like most of them anyway .
Glory days I guess .
For whatever it's worth I think a lot of that click stuff comes from the old friendships and sometimes it's the first time they've seen each other in 20 years . It's sure happened with the ones that went into the service or off to school several states away . I did have the good fortune of reconnecting with some school friends I really did want to catch up with .
The reunions were really good for me .

Never been to any of mine. Wanted to go to 20... 25 made an effort. 30 came and went without much ta do. Im friends and stay in touch with the ones who where important to me. Probably wont ever attend one. I was just a normal kid I wrestled and played A lil football. I enjoyed HS, kids in HS... Not as much.
