The purpose of this website is to celebrate the legacy and joy of the Class of 1991... to look back with a fondness on a time gone by... and to ensure it is a time not forgotten.



It was May 28, 1991, when the graduation ceremonies began.  Friends and family members watched, smiled and sniffled as the individual members of the class of 1991 walked across the auditorium stage to collect their hard earned diploma.

The place of Muleshoe High School, a small school in a tiny west Texas community.

After the ceremonies, most of the 79 graduating seniors congregated together in nervous excitement.  Most rushed off to celebrate, congratulating each other on this momentous occation. 

Many of the graduating class had known each other almost their entire lives.  They were friends, classmates and, in a sense almost family.

And yet, when they left each other that evening, they vanished.  Fading from each others lives into a distant, yet important memory.

Here I will introduce you to the Class of 1991.  I hope to locate classmates and fill the 15 year gap we've built.  Check back often for updates and news of what I learn about the Class of 1991...


If you know the whereabouts of a 1991 Graduate of Muleshoe High School please go under the contact us section of the website.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM "DEAR ABBY"

 

DEAR ABBY: This is for all those people who don't want to go to their class reunions because they weren't popular - or didn't belong to the "in" crowd in high school and they thought no one would want to talk to them anyway.

I didn't think anyone would talk to me either, but my husband and I decided to go to my 20th high school reunion.  Abby, it was the best move we ever made.  People were actually glad to see us!  (We both graduated from the school, but in different years.)

I hugged more people in two days than I had hugged in 20 years!  I have never felt such a sense of love and belonging as I did at that reunion.  There were no pretenses of where we came from since most of us came from working-class families; we came home to be together.  I even made peace with an old enemy!

For those who organized that reunion in Pittsburgh, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  For those who didn't make the effort to attend - you missed a wonderful weekend. -- YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN

 

DEAR YOU CAN:  Because you took the trouble to write, perhaps those who were lukewarm about going "home" for a class reunion will reconsider.  Thanks for writing.  Thanks, too, for mentioning those generous people who organize class reunions.  They require a ton of work, and not many are willing to tackle the job.

 

10. Don't want to miss seeing all the BIG HAIR.
9. Listen to some good 80's and 90'smusic.
8. Two Words: DRINKS and FOOD!
7. Its a party! With a Band from San Antonio.
6. This is the only place you might find a buyer for
your mint-condition Whitesnake poster.
5. You get to renew acquaintances with your old
boyfriend/girlfriend, which makes you even happier
that you did not marry them.
4. You haven't smelled this much Polo cologne since
your Senior year.
3. Find out if the "Best Dressed" winners from 1991
are still wearing the same clothes.
2. To see who still splits their 501 Levi's on the side,
(or the famous tuck-and-roll) or acid wash
1. Because you just might enjoy it!

Some Random Info
High school is an experience that depends entirely on your place in the social realm of your class. For some, it is the best time of their life, and for others it is the worst. More often then not, what follows in college and in the real world is diametrically opposed to what happened in high school.

That is why after several years go by, there is some interest by all classmates to attend their high school reunion. The cool kids want to re-live their youth and visit the grounds where they felt on top of the world, and the nerds want to show everyone how far they have come.

There are other things that come into play as well. As time passes, classmates put on weight, and lose their hair. The real question is how much hair and how much weight. This is the number one thing that brings people together for class reunions - curiosity. Beyond that, there is the desire to rekindle the relationships that were so important in our teen years. We will never forget our high school friendships or the experiences that were critical in molding who we are today.

In a class reunion survey done by http://Myevent.com 87% of classmates that attended their class reunion found the reunion to be extremely gratifying, and said they would attend the next class reunion as well. So, whether out of curiosity, to show off, or for re-establishing old ties, class reunions seem to be more popular than ever. It is indeed noteworthy that reunions have become a fabric of our society. In the last year, many old television shows have had reunion episodes and a whole series was devoted to a high school reunion.

So, if you should get an invitation to your high school reunion, do not pass on the chance to go back in time and re-visit old friends and foes. You may be able to reconnect with some of your best friends you have ever had and establish new relationships with people you didn’t even know existed.

TOP TEN REASONS NOT TO MISS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

  1. You'll laugh, cry and reminisce with some of your oldest friends.
  2. You don't have to lie about your age.
  3. Feel better realizing you are not the only one who has been married, divorced, married, divorced and is still looking.
  4. Of the many alumni coming to their first reunion, make them feel fully appreciated for finally showing up.
  5. Rekindle or begin new relationships.
  6. Even if you had some negative experiences in high school, don't fret about it, you'll most likely laugh about it now.
  7. Enjoy an evening out without the kids.
  8. Use the reunion as an opportunity to diet and shape up.
  9. Humor the committee; they usually are a bunch of deluded diehards who think everyone should show up to appreciate all their efforts.
  10. And, finally studies have shown that those who were initially hesitant about attending their reunions discover it was the event they wouldn't have missed!
