High school and college reunions are two different animals.
I attended Hunter College High School, and we've had reunions every five years. It's always the same weekend, because the individual classes have events on Saturday and then the school sponsors a gathering of every class on Sunday. We've been lucky to have members of my class willing to step up each year and organize the Saturday event; I've heard some classes fall down on the job and never have an event.
I've been to my 5th, 10th, and 15th. I still have a few close friends from the class, whom I stay in touch with. Most of the rest I don't see except at reunions, although we do have an email list. Of the three, the 10th was the most popular.
The Sunday event, interestingly enough, only draws a handful of people from the class. We'll have clost to a hundred or more (out of a class of 200) at the Saturday, class-only event, and maybe 10-15 members of the class will show up on Sunday. Of course, given that most of the other classes have been older women from the time Hunter was an all-girls school, and the fact that they have literally hissed at the younger men in their presence...well, it makes me uncomfortable, at least.
