In my college yearbook, they printed someone else's picture instead of mine (they printed his twice). Years later, we worked at the same company and shared a laugh about it. Never figured out which of us should feel insulted.

I was class 1967. I still have all my report cars and shop award certs in a drawer. Those were the days....

It is interesting to see how people turn out. If can be done without interfering....All my old girlfriends (and would-be girlfriends) are in those four books.
I’ll look at them and think, “What in the world did I see in her?” And, “I wonder what she looks like today?” Sometimes, it’s best not to go there.

My younger sister and brother were in high school at the same time. She was in the yearbook committee. I saw brother's one yearbook and he had funny name.

Well, we made it back in one piece... barely. The brake master cylinder on my 2016 Charger intermittently failed 25 miles from home... had to it drive "Low and Slow" to avoid disaster (took the back roads and only encounter a hand full of other cars and slowed her down using the "Auto-Stick" to shift between first and third (and vice- versa).
John Mellencamp's abbreviated show was fantastic - he got through four songs before a severe thunderstorm hit and they had to evacuated the folks out on the lawn and cover the stage with plastic due to the 80 mph winds and horizontal rain (that crap is COLD !) after an 80 minute delay he made it through 14 more songs before the venue pulled the plug on him at 11 PM, so we only got 18 of the 25 top hits, but at least they were all good ones... BTW- he looks like Schiit but still sounds decent for being 74 yrs old.
A friend went to the 25th-year high school graduation reunion. He said he was shocked at how some people have changed for the worse.
I went to my 50th last year and was shocked at how many had changed for the better and had lived full productive lives. The ones that went downhill didn't show up, but someone always knew what had been going on with them. One of the smartest guys in class became a new age crystal/tarot freak and lives in a van down by the river !A friend went to the 25th-year high school graduation reunion.

Several ex-classmates ended up spiraling out of control. As you said, I was shocked at who ended up this way. They seemed to have everything figured out in high school.

I think most people live ordinary life's and measure life with ordinary rule. The smart guy may have found a smart scale to measure success and happiness 
That does happen, sometimes, but living in a van down by the river evangelizing Marilyn Ferguson doesn't sound very successful.I think most people live ordinary life's and measure life with ordinary rule. The smart guy may have found a smart scale to measure success and happiness

My pet theory on this is based on the distribution of AMBITION as a human trait. Using a six sigma distribution curve, the very far left would be individuals with ZERO ambition. All the way to the extreme far right (even well past the 0.13%) are a few people per million with enormously outsized ambition. These people become famous, ultra-rich, extremely murderous, extremely criminal, or make profound discovers, or produce profound art, and their names will usually be recorded in history. DaVinci, Gates, Rockefeller, Dahmer, Napoleon, Ponzi, Hitler, and so on.
Unless that is truly what makes you happy. There really are a few to whom that is heaven.

Totally agreed in my reference also. I am thinking about the bell curve extremities may end up in the same place. Extremely intelligent and dumb people's action are out of normal man's league.
