That had to be a very different vibe.

It really was. For quite a while, after I left, I didn't want anything to do with them. I hadn't gotten the choice of who I was friends with for so long, that I really craved choosing who I was gonna spend time with. But, now, I've grown a bit, and we stay in touch a little. I send them all my Christmas card/letter, and we exchange e-mails with pictures of kids and big news and whatnot. It's been nice to find a balance with it.

Thirteen people. Wow, vw. That had to be a very different vibe.

My graduating class in HS was 800.

My graduating class in HS was 800.

Mine was just under 500, I think.

My graduating class was 65 people. My town had one elementary school, one junior high school, and one high school, so I went from kindergarten to the 12th grade with those same 65 people.

It was oppressive. I couldn't wait to get out.

My graduating class in HS was 800.

Mine was close to 1,000. My HS was twice as big as my undergrad school.

There are about 25 people on LJ who list my high school, none from my year. One was born the year I graduated, so...

And one has a "more cowbell" icon. He was born three years after I graduated.

My HS class was 666, which we made much of; the hub's was 12-ish, in the flavor of fundie school where they think the Baptists are too liberal.

Whee! Do you know which flavor, amy?

My grade school class was about 21, and high school was about 180....

::Goes back to cursing the DLL that is on work computer but not laptop::

My senior class was 400+, and my high school (grades 10 through 12, then) was ~1200.

My first college roommate graduated with a class of something like two dozen, and had as many penpals as she had classmates. We had two things in common: our age, and our sex. We lasted the year. We never had a falling out, but were both happy to agree to live with other people, from sophmore year on.
