MEMORY LANE - a stressful walk by Adrian McCoy
"High school reunions can be a time to renew old friendships and relive glory days.
But for some, an impending reunion can spark sheer terror, bringing on desperate crash diets and some tough self evaluation. Any, for many, a reunion can give way to a tendency to embellish the truth a bit.
Especially susceptible to such problems are the 5 and 10 year reunion-goers, for whom salary comparisons and claims for overnight promotions are fodder for any number of television sitcoms. "At the earlier reunions, they're still on the road to their own life," says Alan Dezen, executive director of The Counseling Center in Bloomfield, Pa. But those attending 5 and 10 year reunions, he said, have become "somewhat established in their careers, but they don't feel completely secure."
So getting ready for a reunion can be stressful. "You haven't had contact with these people for 10 years," says Dezen. "People try to pick up where they left off, and they regress momentarily to when they were 17." Even confident, self-assured types may find themselves feeling pangs of teen angst, he says.
But, happily, reunions tend to lose some of the threatening qualities as years go by, gradually becoming more of a party than a milestone, says Bob Crytzer, a professional reunion organizer. "As you drift away from that (5 to 10 year) time frame, it becomes more of a reunion in the true sense. People put aside their egos." By the 10th or 20th, for example, the cliques that existed in high school are totally dissolved.
By then, however, one problem may be replaced by another. For example, Dezen says, by the 20th year reunion many classmates may be going into mid-life crisis, "looking to rekindle something from their youth that they feel is missing."
Dr. Douglas Schiller, a psychologist who has survived his 20th year reunion, has some insights into why mid-life reunions can be such an emotional experience.
For one thing, he said, people attending a 20 year reunion aren't always prepared to see friends looking more like their parents than their yearbook pictures. "The first thing people notice at the 20th reunion is that people look older," he says. "One is immediately struck by the passage of time."
The 40, 50 and 60 year reunions tend to have less pressure associated with them. By then most have stopped seeing reunions as a kind of yardstick for personal achievement and are ready to have fun. But then these can be stressful occasions, too: usually death has claimed former classmates.
The best advice for any
reuniongoers, whether you're 23 or 83:
lighten up and enjoy
it. "It's one evening. You probably won't see these people
again, or at least not for 10 years," Dezen says. "What you say or
do isn't going to make any difference. You might as well have a good
time."
