I have yearbooks, my letter jacket, and my XC sweatshirt. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I wear my SC sweatshirt a lot when I go home on visits.
I have my letter jacket and every few months when I do a deep clean I think about throwing it out but I hang on to it. I have all my yearbooks too, I'll keep those. I was on staff and having my bylines in there is one my claim to fame.
Yes, a shoe box with a few items I wanted to keep and a year book. I did journalism in high school so I have every article I wrote and when I became an editor, every issue I formatted. There are a few notes from friends stuffed away, 2 plastic megaphone with the school logo on it (the tiny ones from the football games), and I think a few cards/pictures.
This reminds me that I should go through it again.
I have my class ring, yearbooks, varsity letter (sans jacket), school sweatshirt, and field hockey championship sweatshirt. I don't wear the sweatshirts anymore but haven't been able to give them up yet, though I did recently let go of a few well-worn t-shirts.

Well, my husband was my high school sweetheart so there's that.
I have all of our yearbooks, so they're pretty redundant. I also have a box of theater t-shirts (one for each play and we did three plays per year). I think they've been boxed up for over ten years but I just can't get rid of them.

I have my class ring, yearbook and a pink and brown clay monstrosity of a "cookie jar" (it's about 4" tall and wouldn't hold two cookies that I made in art class. I'm never getting rid of that thing. All my previous fashion choices are, thankfully, long gone.
I have a t-shirt that says "It's hard to be humble when you're a senior" from 1977. And I have a yellow hooded, kinda fuzzy jacket from 10th grade--1975.

My yearbooks are at my mom's, but I would never get rid of them. I have a "memory box" with pictures, notes from friends, my prom booklets, and things like that. I am also pretty sure that my mom still has my uniform skirt stashed in a Rubbermaid bin somewhere.
I have a t shirt and hoodie from my hs, but they're only a few years old. They were a gift from my sister, because her CW's daughter went to my school and graduated last year, so she had the daughter get them from the school store. I have my 20 year reunion in April. How did that happen?
I found a few random things when cleaning the attic a couple months ago. Mostly photos and a random sports medal or two. I thought I had yearbooks but I haven't seen them in years, so I wonder if we lost them during one of our moves.

Actually from high school, I have a hoodie and most of my uniform (though I lost my cardigan in college, ugh damn it!)
But I have a bunch of tshirts I got at cheer competition with my school's mascot on it. And a hoodie I bought as a fundraiser when my school was set to close (the ubiquitous "once a Bambie always a Bambie" shirt, Eagles!)

I have so much stuff from HS. I was on the varsity swim team all 4 years and have a bunch of awards, my letterman's jacket, 16"x20" team pictures, all my yearbooks, and some other stuff. Other than my letterman's jacket, I want to get rid of it all, but my husband and parents insist I'll want it all when I'm old. So it's boxed up in my closet and garage and I never look at any of it.

I have a crap ton of stuff left from HS. 6 play sweatshirts (2 a year, joined drama in sophomore year), a drama club windbreaker, 4 years worth of Turkey Bowl t-shirts. A ratty 20 year old logo sweatshirt that I wear around the house. That sucker is so thin it barely counts as a sweatshirt anymore. My class ring is locked in my safe- I keep thinking I should sell that when gold goes up but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. 4 years of yearbooks. A scrapbook with articles from the newspaper and any literary magazines I have stuff in or helped edit. All the booklets and tickets from dances. A photo album of all my 5x7's from the dances and friends wallet sized pics. The t-shirts and such are going to a friend who is going to make a quilt out of them for me. I just have to find the Rubbermaid tote they are packed away in. I was a officer in a club in HS as well, we got white sweaters to wear instead of our regular uniform sweater. I'm pretty sure I still have those as well.
I@eagles, I mostly lurk but I've participated in a few Philly specific threads. My 20 year is coming up next year too, I didn't realize we were the same age. I'm a NE Philly girl too, although I'm gathering we would have been rivals in HS. I wonder if we know any of the same people.
I have my yearbooks, varsity letter, a couple of pins for the letter, a jacket (not letter), and the tassel from my cap in the school colors with '90 logo attached. The school jacket actually belonged to my older sister and is an awesome tacky satin 80s deal.
I have a few pins that I got from Key Club and Drama Club. I also have my senior tshirt. I doubt I will get rid of the tshirt because it has my class roster on the back.
I have my letter jacket. It's hysterical, I can never get rid of it. I lettered in choir & got the comedy & tragedy masks embroidered on the back. I love it & will never wear it again.

No way! I went to private school right outside the city, but most of my friends from grade school went to CD. I hung out with a lot of FJ guys since I rode to school with girls from that part of the NE.
