class reunions

Former classmates reconvene

Class reunions are gatherings of former classmates, typically organized years after graduation from high school or college.

They're usually held at five- or ten-year intervals: My twenty-year class reunion is next month.

The events mix nostalgia with curiosity about how everyone turned out, often prompting anxiety about personal achievements or appearances.
