This is not as repulsive as it sounds. Maybe.
In Jamaica when a student graduates from a Educational high school system, (usually -all boys) they are called the old boy from the schools.
I was surprised to find out that there are many organizations out there.
Although I am biased towards this one, Kingston College has a very prominent Association, both in the the US and in Jamaica.
It is a little intimidating to go these function, especially when you don't consider yourself successful.
You wan to stay isolated in your little corner having never to answer the questions "What are you doing with yourself these days?"
It's exactly like going to your high school reunion, with the exception that it is not just one school year that is coming together but all who are moved to do so. The teachers, coaches well wishers of all walks of life from different years often show up to these meetings.
I know they meet once a year in a venue of choice, a person only has to search for it on the web to find the next meeting. It is indeed commendable that the school has even organized a facebook group so that all may stay informed with happenings at the school.
From what I can remember these meetings are a blast as you get to relive those youthful years when you run into classmates. It's actually quite entertaining to watch, as grown men, some boasting white beards, act like teenagers and make immature jokes as they interact with each other.
Can you think of any reason to go to your high school reunion, if you don't consider yourself successful?
