So I graduated from high school in '96 (wow that seems so ancient) yet I still have my high school yearbooks. Even my middle school yearbooks too (though I never got my 8th grade one) [should note that for me middle school was 6th-8th grade (11-13 years old) and high school 9th to 12th (14-18 years old)].

But I don't have any real special memories from school. Sure there are signatures from classmates but that's what you were supposed to do when you got them. Just pass them around and see who signs them. At most there's only one picture of me, the class photo.

But I just spent several hours this evening inhaling dust from cleaning out my bookshelves and yet I cannot part with the yearbooks. They are this 'special bound' book. Donating is just silly, throwing them away wasteful. I haven't even felt like looking through them. Though now that I'm thinking about it, may just do that.

Anyways, the long pointless rambling anon comes to the point: do you still have your yearbooks?

They're at my parents' house.

I'd want to keep at least the senior one, though, but then I'm a pack rat.

I have two separate year books from high school. Each has a page long note from the boys I dated those years. Both of those relationships ended horribly and one of them has left me with some slight triggers.

I do not look at my yearbooks very often. However, I also refuse to throw them away so I get it? It's like, if I throw it away I'm saying high school meant nothing, and it did! But it wasn't supposed to.

I only ever got one year book, in my last year of highschool. I think it's in my room in my parent's house...

They ruined my quote by mis reading it and printing it even though it didn't make sense how they read it.

I only have my senior high school book. They were really expensive, so I could only afford to get the last year one.

I have my last 2 hs yearbooks and the rest are at my mom's house. My senior yearbook has the beginning pages falling off and it's only a few years old.

Someone older than me! YES!

(Sorry. Can't help it!)

I graduated in 1999. I don't have a yearbook, but my exhusband does. I apparently scrawled over it (since we met in HS) and have the names of my arch nemesis and his entire crew singled out.

Keep them. It's only as I get older that I realize the value of things that remind me of my youth.

We didn't have yearbooks, so no. I'm sort of sad I don't have more memento's of the people in my last high school, though. But so be it. Wasn't even an official school, so a yearbook might be a bit much to ask. I have a few pics from school trips here and there.

They're at my mom's house, so if she hasn't thrown them away then yeah.

I think I have two or three elementary school books, one middle school book, and one or two high school books.

And honestly, I feel the same way. I have at MOST one other picture besides my designated one and yet there's just something about them. Though for me its as much about looking at the people I used to know as it is looking at myself.

And also, one of my grandmas was a teacher and held onto about 4 or 5 yearbooks when she was a teacher. And so being to look at that as a direct window into her past was pretty awesome. So perhaps some of your children or nieces or nephews will be able to look at them one day and go "oh wow". Even if it's only for one picture.

I still have mine. Class of '95, woohoo! Yeah, there's no point in donating them to anyone, and I actually like having all the signatures and weird stuff my friends signed in mine, so I have no plans to throw them out.

Ahaha.

I graduated in 1981.

I still have my yearbooks. I never look at them, but I have them.

I only ever bought my senior one.

I use it for writing inspiration and character names.

Having graduated high school in 2011 (I suddenly feel so young...) most of my high school memories are fairly recent. I still kept all four years of my yearbooks, and look back at them every so often.

I have one from high school. I want my senior year one but they never gave it to me as it didn't come in until the next year and I had already gone to university by then. My dad was supposed to pick it up but he never did.

I was homeschooled, but I do have the homeschool co op's yearbook from when I was 14. I love that thing so much. WE WERE ALL SO DORKY.

They're somewhere in my old room at my parents' house.

I even have mine from elementary school. Mine are just sitting on my bookshelves in my closet. I'll just keep them forever. My parents put a page of baby pictures in my senior year album and I like the books.

Yearbooks are the kind of thing I will never ever get rid of. Kindergarten through senior year. Most of mine have good notes though, at least from middle school on.

I have them but don't think I've looked at them since graduation.

I've not picked up mine. I wonder if they still have it somewhere.

I did until I moved across the country. So much of what I used to have didn't make the trek.

I graduated in 1978 and have all three from high school. They're a great help with things like, who was that girl who sat next to me in band? What was the name of that godawful Geometry teacher I had in sophomore year? Did we go to playoffs in '76 or '77?

And the kids like looking at their parents as dorky teenagers. It was the '70s. We all looked like dorks. :-)

Yes, and they're not something I'm ever planning on getting rid of.

My dad still has his (he actually graduated from the same high school as I did) and I love looking through them.

I still have every yearbook from about fifth grade on--and the only reason I don't have the ones before then is because my parents wouldn't buy them for me until my sister was in school, too. Which sucks for her because I kept all of the ones that we were supposed to share.

I also got my college's yearbook from the year before I graduated, because even though I wasn't in it most of my friends were.

FWIW, my dad's high school yearbooks are all still sitting on his bookshelf and he graduated in the '70s. It was kinda fun to look at them when I was a kid.

I bought my senior yearbook (2007), but I have no idea where it is. I don't think I took it with me during my last move 5 years ago.

Which means either my parents have it, or they left it behind during their last move, which was pretty sudden. If the latter, it might have been up for sale at an estate sale...

Honestly I don't care much about my high school years anymore, so I'm not upset if it is gone forever.
