[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 86306, member: 59"] It sure does bring back memories, only my year was 1968. I did go to one of the reunions about 10 years ago and I discovered the same thing you did. Most of the popular kids who were in the clique were still in the same clique. Even this many years later they had no interest in learning anything about anyone outside the clique. Made me wonder why they went, don't they see each other enough? I was also surprised (well maybe I shouldn't have been) that most of the "popular" girls did not do very well for themselves in all these years. They were working in a grocery store, some were divorced, many looked old and not nearly the trend setters they were back then. Funny how back then they and I guess everyone else thought that they were the ones who had everything going for them. You know who were the really impressive ones? The so called nerds, the ones who weren't popular and didn't have a lot of friends. One was a physicist, one a medical doctor, and actress, a researcher, an artist, several teachers, many with families and careers that were fulfilling. They looked happy. I was reminded why I didn't like most of the girls I went to high school with. I had a few close friends, was not popular, not considered cool, yet I was happy with my life and with the choices I made. I use to wish I was one of them. I came away so grateful that I wasn't. I won't ever go to another reunion. And this was a girls academy. Nancy [/QUOTE]
