those meaningful YEARBOOKS

I always take my primary school photos,look at the website to find out.Because I am a very nostalgic person!

My college yearbook haven't finished yet I think it will take five years before I can get a may hand on it to think that I graduated two years ago. I love flipping old pictures and yearbooks of other people, its nice to know how others looks like before they started there career. Plus Im getting some techinques on old photos.

I still do have my yearbooks from high school but none before then. I do remember and miss my high school days very much and miss many of the friends that I had then. I wish that I could relive some of those moments. I do not look at them often but still do. I read the signatures of the people that signed my yearbook as well as the pictures.

I am so unlucky that I have nothing left from my school days as we kept moving around alot with my parents..It is a shame really as the memory fades..but I didn't have a good time from 9 yearts and older..as I was bullied alot..

Yes, I agree with you that we just kept our yearbooks in one corner and left their to accumulate more dust.On my part, I only flip and scanned my yearbook whenever I have something to look for.Sometimes I've met my long time schoolmate from high school and I tend to forget their names that's why I will get my yearbook and flipped the pages just to look for their names.By nest time we had a chance of seeing each other I can identify their names already.

I also enjoy the he moment when i'm looking in our yearbook. I put all my year book in a safe place where children cannot reach it. I also not just enjoy looking in the year book. I also enjoy looking in photo albums. When I look on the photos in yearbooks and photo album I think that I must still print my photos on my Facebook account and digital camera because I think websites and memory card cannot keep those memorable photos for a very long time unlike when the photos are already printed like what old generation does.

About the only time I check out my yearbooks is when I encounter someone from my past and I get curious. This is especially true when they recognize me and I haven't a clue as to who they are! My looks haven't changed since high school, other than I have added a few pounds. But, many of my former classmates have changed dramatically.

Being from the UK none of the schools I ever went to did things like yearbooks and proms so kinda feel like I missed out on a lot of memories. It would have been cool to have these kind of keepsakes.

Funny you should mention that, Guess what is "propping" up my mouspad? my last yearbook from the first Graduating Class of Villa Park HS in Villa Park Calif. 1966. I also belong to "classmates.com and I go and look up old pictures of people that I see have Bio's. High School was not a particularly happy time for me but the friends were special.

We have never had yearbook. It is not a habit in my country. :/

Not me! I love going thru the old junior and senior high school books as well as my college ones - especially around reunion time. I love remembering the good and even the worse of times and how we managed to overcome them and shape our personalities and attitudes. I have my 35th HS reunion next year and cantr wait to see everyone again. I've heard that more schools are putting the yearbooks on CDs now, but I think it takes the fun out of flipping thru them and laughing with a few old classmates over coffee.

Yearbooks can't be replaced with computers dear. I still hold dearly my yearbooks because it's nice to flip through them when I feel lonely and I miss my friends and/or colleagues or at this time my former students and the fun we had in the classroom. I think most people will still opt for the traditional yearbook than an online. With the traditional one you don't need electric and internet connection to look at it unlike online books or yearbooks.

Too bad for me, I don't have any one of them anymore. I kept transferring areas of school. From an unheard of province where I graduated from high school, I took up my first college course in one of the colleges in the same area. Then I flew to another city, too far to be home more than once a year. A brother, threw away all the memorbilia I had. All my works and collections were gone for good. When I graduated from the second course, I had a beautiful yearbook. Then I left for another city in my country to work. This time, still much farther from my hometown. Too bad, I cannot bring so many things with me. That college yearbook, I can never forget that I loved it but sadly, I no longer have it either. I don't have any idea where it went.

You're lucky to have a yearbook. I'm homeschooled, so one hasn't been offered. It would take too long to make since there are over 55 thousand kids in my distance education classes.

i do not have inteest in them even before i bought one. haha i did not get a year book but instead bought myself a college ring. i think its much more worth it than a book with someone else's pics in it.

I try my best to look at it every once in a while, as I would also like to cherish every moments that I had during my student life. The fact that whenever I look at it I find a very big difference from that moment and I just can't seem to compare it as of what I am now, the innocent looks were gone. I know a see a man inside me, not like before, all I see is a happy-go-lucky teenager who always wants to live his life to the fullest. I also missed my classmates, as I always wonder how some of them are doing with their lives right now.

Right now I don't have the luxury of looking at my school yearbooks. When I moved here to Ketucky I flew out here so could only take the bare necessities. Most of my stuff is still with my Mom. When I get the money together one of these years (crossing my fingers) I plan on going on getting to rest of my stuff, since my mom has hung on to it all this years. Every now and than I like to go through old memories, cause even though High school was one the worst things I have gone through in life. I still had a lot of good memories from it.

Actually I love year books. My favorites include my last ones for my highschool & college. I keep them for sure. They are great for memories, perhaps reunions (maybe have one next year my 10 if they do I WOULD go!). Plus they hold true meaning. When I did a scrapbook for my senior year of high school, I copied down what my friends said exactly in my scrapbook just my best of friends to help add to it. I thought it was a GREAT idea! I dont think they are THAT outdated and wouldnt ever get rid of mine. What else will I show my kids when I have them?? :))

i am one person who didn't have any year books at all. the high school year book which was supposedly distributed to us after graduation didn't materialize because nobody from my class were willing to do it. the same with the college year book, the money we contributed went to someone else's pocket. it would have been nice if i'd these year books because i can go back to the pages and look who were my classmates before, and as you said, recall the good and bad moments while i was in school. for now, i really find it hard to search my classmates' whereabouts unless i saw them in the news. there was one time i saw my high school classmate ,a doctor now, inside the ring in one of the latest fights of manny pacquiao in the states. he is, i think, the medical doctor of the philippine sports commission, dr. nasser cruz. another incident also when a classmate of mine before was playing in the pba games, jess migalbin. those moments really made me happy to see them around. am proud of them. may be in the days to come, it would not be shocking for me anymore if i see that one of my classmates would the in the congress or perhaps the next president. LOL

I still have all 4 of my high school year books, 2 middle school year books and 2 elementary school year books. I will occassionally look at them and go down memory lane. Just about a month ago I had 3 of my best friends from high school over and we were looking at old pictures and talking about all of our memories. Sometimes it's just so much fun to shake the dust off of those books and spend a night looking at them. That's something I'll never get rid of and always cherish.
