I have no idea what exactly happened to mine or when, but I’m pretty sure that, during a period when I was moving around a lot, I junked them rather than keep packing them up and moving them around.
How about you? If you feel like it, how long has it been since you graduated high school? 52-1/2 years for me.
Yes. I still have them. I also still have my late husband’s yearbooks.
It’s been nearly 40 years.
I voted yes, but my Mom has them. She was a teacher at my high school (in fact, I had her for home room). She kept all yearbooks from her 35 years of teaching, and mine are in the mix at her house.
Yes. I also recently inherited both my Mom’s and Dad’s yearbooks also. What to do with them?
Not sure why we’d get rid of them - we’ve got plenty of bookshelves, and they don’t take up much room. So yeah, we’ve got all of ours.
This June, it’ll be 48 years since HS graduation for me, and 38 years for my wife.
Mine are almost within arm’s reach - I’d actually have to roll my chair back a couple of feet, but all 3 of them are on the shelf.
Class of '72, so almost 48 years. The hairstyles in them are, um, classic! 
Still have them all. They come in handy when I hear of a classmate’s passing to refer to the book and refresh my memories.
My mom probably has mine hidden in one of the hundreds of boxes in storage.
So to me, they’re as good as gone because I know I’m not about to go hunting for them.
Got 3, have 3. Due to certain difficulties I paid for but never received the 4th one.
High school, middle school, primary school, couple of college. And my mother’s books, too. (High school only, probably all that they published then.)
Not only do I have all my high & junior high books (grades 7-12), but my Army basic training book and the college yearbooks of both my parents. And, lest I forget – the Estes Kefauver High School yearbook – Go, Kangas!
I graduated high school over 30 years ago, still have a couple of yearbooks. Every time I run across them, I get >< this close to throwing them out, then don’t.
If you’re interested in seeing your old yearbooks, it’s possible to look them up on a site like classmates.com. Of course, they won’t include those witty and deathless inscriptions from your BFFs. :rolleyes:
It’s been 25 years for me, and not only do I still have them, I referred to them recently. There was a job opening at my alma mater, and the current principle was a fellow graduate from my year, so I checked to see what activities we had in common (surprisingly, nothing: He was in nothing but football and baseball).
I still have mine and it’s coming up on a half century.
I only bought them junior and senior year as I began to feel more attached to high school. No idea where they are. I assume they’re either buried in my mon’s stuff or I lost them during all the moving around I did in my 20s, I can’t even find my college diploma.
I am still annoyed that our senior year yearbooks were late due to a printing snafu. Seniors graduated a couple weeks before end of classes for everyone else so I never got but a few signatures.
Huh, I voted “all of them” but I only ever had 1. We only did yearbooks for the graduating class. I’m surprised to hear so many of you have multiple high school yearbooks.
I can’t imagine why I would have kept them. My mother kept them and they went in the trash when we were cleaning out mom’s place after she died. I hated high school, never looked at the yearbooks after leaving, and graduation was the happiest day of my life to that point. I did have a college yearbook once and have no idea what happened to it. Can’t remember why I bought it since out of the 22,000 students I probably knew ten, so…
We moved from place-to-place, throughout my childhood.
I never bothered to get one, because I knew we wouldn’t be there next semester.
Yes, where “have” means “in a closet at my mother’s house”.
I haven’t looked at them in ages and, if she told me they were all destroyed in a fire/flood, I doubt I’d feel more than a moment’s loss.
I only ever had my senior yearbook. It’s around somewhere.
