Find graduates of your high school and plan a night of fun.
Reminiscing about the past is a rollicking good time, especially when you reconnect with former classmates to reminisce together. Whether planning a high school reunion or just hoping to locate a particular friend or two, finding graduates of your high school with whom you have lost touch is a rewarding experience. The process of locating former friends and classmates is becoming easier each day thanks to the continuing advances in technology.
Instructions
1. Call your high school. Many high schools maintain databases with contact information for former students organized by year of graduation. Even if your high school does not have this information, it may be able to put you in contact with a representative from your graduating class who does.
2. Join and search social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. The increasing popularity of social networking means more and more people join sites everyday, thus the odds are favorable that you will be able to find former classmates through this method. Additionally, members often include information about which high school they attended in their member profiles, as well as maiden name cross-references.
3. Register on a site that specializes in finding graduates of high schools. Memory Lane, High School Reconnect and My Free Alumni Finder are three sites that offer free online searches and have listings for high schools from all across the United States. These sites make it easy to search by school and graduation year.
4. Place an ad on your high school's website or in a school newsletter. List your name, graduation year and contact information and ask that graduates from your high school year to e-mail or phone you with their contact information. Even if the people who read the ad are not from your high school year, they may know people who are and they can pass the information along.
