Do you think it is a good idea to buy a high school yearbook for every year that you attend your high school?

My high-school-aged cousin is thinking about buying a yearbook for every year that she attends her highschool. That means she would buy one freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior year. She wants it to remind her of the people who she "shared the high school experience with."

Is it a good idea?

    sure. although i've found the only thing i do (in the 10 years since high school) with mine is when i meet someone i didn't know that went to highschool with me, i'll look through and find thier picture then make fun of them.

    Yes, I think that's a wonderful idea. In the years to come, it will be a nice reminder of the people she has attended high school with and how they grew from children to adults over those couple of years. In the UK, we don't have year books and I always feel jealous that American schools do are they're a great keepsake to have of your schooldays and many of the people who you probably won't ever see again.

    Personally when i was in high school ( 4 years ago) I wouldnt have bought any of them, but all school here have registration fees of 30-40 dollars that include your yearbook and student card each year. Now that I have graduated I love to look at them. I'm glad that they pretty muhc made the decision for us because I'm pretty sure i would have regretted not having that piece of my past.

    I do, which is exactly what I did. But now that I've been out of high school for years and married now, I don't even know where they're at but it seemed like a good thing to do at the time. You may look back later and say it could have been something you could have done without (which is what I'm thinking). And they take up a lot of space. It really depends on if you plan to keep them all for years to come. But 15 years from now, it may not really matter and no one's really going to care what's in it, even your spouse or your children.

    If this is what she wants, let her go for it. Speaking as a much older gal, my friends and I still love to look through the yearbook to remind us of "the good old days". The pictures themselves can be a great laugh!

    If your cousin made friends that moved away during those four years

    or

    she made friends with upper and lower class men and would like to remember them

    or

    if her gorgeous picture appears in different activities over the years ...

    Yes, by all means she should get all four.
