I have mine and DHās in a box down in my office/studio somewhere. Iāve also made sure to purchase one for DD every year even though DH thinks itās a stupid thing to spend $20 on. I donāt get a lot of photos of what goes on at school throughout the year so this is a good compromise.

I graduated high school in 1965 so my 4 yearbooks are 54 years old now. I have those four and one from 8th grade which isn't book bound like a regular yearbook, instead has a stapled cover. I had to repair my senior yearbook with archival tape when my then 2 year old son tore a couple of pages but other than that they're all in good condition for their age.

We have duplicate sets from junior high and high school since Iām now married to my high school sweetheart.
I also have mine from college. My college friends are my life-long friends. Iāve looked at those yearbooks much more often.

And thatās the presale price. After January 1, it goes up to $110.

No. I wish I did. Mine all burned in my family home. I was on the yearbook staff too, so really bummed.

I chose other..... we didnāt have yearbooks here back in the 80s. But if they did, I would absolutely still have it. I wish they did yearbooks here.

I do - all 5. We got them in Grade 8 through 12. I actually know where mine are - top of my bedroom closet. A stupid place for them, really, as I cant reach up there without help.
I think there was one in grade 7, but that I doubt I have. yus I wonder sometimes about getting rid of the junior high & high school ones, but I can't bring myself to do it. I may eventually scan some pages, or photograph them, and then let them go. Then I can scrapbook the memories without keeping the clutter. I don't think my niece or nephew will want the actual yearbooks.

And this is for a softcover elementary school yearbook. š³ There are about 700 kids at her school though so itās a decent sized book. IIRC, my HS yearbook was about $85-90 and that was almost 35 years ago.

I only have my senior yearbook. They were expensive so I only purchased that one year. I still have it... somewhere, but it would take me a while to figure out where.

Yes, I have mine and I graduated in 1983. I think with social media it is extra nice to have the books. Now when I connect with people, I can remember what they looked like.

class of 90 I have just my senior year book I tossed the others after scanning in the few pages I wanted. They were just taking up room. I'll always keep my senior one though I rarely take it out.
My son is a senior this year and this is the only one he is buying, he didn't care about the other years.

Class of '83. I have my yearbook from freshman year and senior year. They are from two different schools since I moved from the west coast to the east coast before my sophomore year. I also have my "yearbook" from basic training. DH also has his yearbook from his senior year (1976) and his yearbook from basic training.

I still have all of mine. I only have my Senior one out handy. We look at it frequently tho, mostly me and my DD talking about her friends parents. She loves seeing the hairstyles and clothes from way back then. š

Yes, 46 years ago. Oldie here. I also have them from middle school or as we called it back then Jr. High. They were just pamphlet type books and not hard back cover books like the school annuals were.

No I got rid of them. They just added weight and clutter every time weāve moved. (Military)

I have all of my HS and college yearbooks. We had our 40th HS reunion in 2017 and they came in handy during the planning.

I bought my hs yearbook, but when my house burned in a fire I chose to get rid of them. High school wasn't a part of my life that I look back on with fondness.

Yes, I have them all. I actually pulled my HS ones out a couple of days ago, the day before one of my best friends was buried. I wanted to read what she wrote in them. (Actually, I donāt have my senior one... they got switched when we were roommates, and while I gave hers back, she never did. Iām hoping we find it when we go through her things.)
We graduated in ā95.

I have all my high school ones and would never thought to get rid of them. Isnāt thatās why to get them anyways? To go back to? Lol I pulled my senior one out quite a bit when Facebook started getting all hot and heavy with requests so that helped me remember friends. Iām terrible with names but with a picture it was so much easier to find people.
I have one grade school one and again when reconnecting through FB I am friends with most of my classmates from 5 to 8 grade. I moved a lot so finding friends brings me so much joy even if we donāt talk much.. just finding them is fun. So yeah, I will always keep them.
