keeping yearbooks: yay or nay?

So…in a sturdy Rubbermaid container in my storage locker I have heavy yearbooks belonging to both parents, siblings and all of mine.

I have pulled out one college yearbook in the past year – to find people on facebook. Now I’m over the novelty of facebook and paring down “facebook friends” to ones I am in regular contact with and not just “whats-his-face: the guy in my history class who used to chew gum every single day”.

I’m off topic. What have you done with yearbooks? Do you save them? What options are there? I seem to treat them as sacred books.

    I to ohave been pairing down my Facebook “friends”. I felt IMMEDIATELY better when I unfriended an old friend who was so rude nasty and sarcasitc on her updates. Yeah for purging negativity!
    Personally, I keep ours. I love them, they make me happy. I have my middle school and high school in a tote in my office, rarely do I look at them though.

    I have my h.s.senior year on our bookshelf in the living room… my kids think its pretty funny to look at 18 year olds from 1972.

    I still have my HS yearbooks, and I think my parents have theirs. I never bothered with university yearbooks.
    I wouldn’t keep a sibling’s yearbooks though. That’s his/her stuff, and he/she should either store it or toss it.

    We don’t have yearbooks in France, at least I didn’t get any in the schools I’ve been to. Kids are just getting photographed each year.
    But Ihave a similar issue, since I started my visual journals when I was 8, and I stick cut, paste, glue, draw, write, etc… I have now over 30 of them. They are a very precious belonging to me. They have different colors, sizes and shapes, but I try to keep them all together in one place in my bookcase.
