STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I am not in any way associated with this site, so please don’t think I’m pimping for business.
Anyhoo, check out http://www.highschoolalumni.com. You can look up your old classmates and enter current information about yourself.
If you go to Illinois/Springfield/Springfield Southeast High School/1988 you can read all about me. You can figure out which one is me by briefly saying out loud each of the syllables in everyone’s name.

I’ve been away at the auto-da-fé.
Auto-da-fé? What’s an auto-da-fé?
It’s what you oughtta not do, but you do anyway!”
I found 34 from my main high school and 35 from a high school that I went to for one semester my senior year. Woohoo! Then there were lots more that were people I knew but who graduated before or after I did.
I found 6 at the site in the OP, 2 of whom I knew.
This is real sad and very telling about myself. There are eight people on the list for my school and I do not recongnize any of their names. There were only like 400 people in the class of 94, too.
I only found 2 people I knew personally, and no one I liked. And all the girls that I thought were cute but never talked to are all married. Boy, do I suck.

I’m with you; I wasn’t wild about those people at the time. I’m sure they grew up to be human beings (as I hope I did) but they were just awful to me way back then.
For my enormous high school, there were just eight people listed, two of whose names I knew.
Egads! I can think of few things that would be worse than having to hear from one of the small-minded doofuses I went to high school with. Out of 120 people in my graduating class, I can only think of two I’d still consider friends, and one of them is dead.

I was, essentially, Daria Morgendorfer in high school. Geeky, unpopular, weird. I went to my reunion a few years ago, and was glamorous, successful, had a gorgeous blond on my arm–and no longer really gave a good goddam what any of those people thought about me.
I personally don’t care for classmates.com because you have to PAY to contact people. I use http://www.alumni.net - I have no affiliation with them except that I’ve found tens of classmates through them. What makes it so great?
It’s free.
You can share as little or as much info as you feel comfortable sharing.
You can also keep your e-mail address private and people can still send you messages. The system sends it for them without showing them your e-mail address.
If you like, the system will send you updates when new people have joined your high school’s or college’s list. A MAX of one e-mail per week - so it’s not annoying.
Enright3 I liked http://www.asd.com ! I registered at both my elementary and middle schools. Alas, I did not go to high school in the United States, so it does me no good there. http://www.alumni.net has links to schools all over the world.
I found a few old friends on the site Rasta listed. I thought, what the hell, and added my name. I dropped a quick note to 2 of the people, so I am curious to see if I will get a reply from either of them. Both became doctors. A third, who I did not write to, is inthe process of becoming a doctor. ::sigh:: Makes me feel like I need to get back to school!
