Class reunions are great places to catch up with old friends and see what they're lives are like now. Reunions are also the time to look back on old times, and a great way to reminisce is to make a slideshow for your reunion.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Email or send a letter (make sure to include your email address) to your classmates and have them send you old pictures of friends and activities from your graduation year.
Step2
Create a folder on your computer's desktop and add all of the emailed photos as you receive them. Separate them into categories such as "Before and After," "Athletics," "Teachers," "Field Trips" and "Memorials" (for classmates who have passed away).
Step3
Scan all of the mailed photos into your computer and add them to the folder on your desktop. Place all of the mailed photos in an envelope for safe keeping so you can return them, once you finish making the slideshow.
Step4
Resize the photos to fit your slideshow. 1632 by 1232 pixels is a good size for slideshows. Crop the photos to get rid of any unknown people or distracting backgrounds.
Step5
Create a CD of music that was popular during your high school years to play during your slideshow presentation.
Step6
Add captions to the photos, providing dates and the names of the students in the pictures.
Step7
Contact the reception hall where the reunion will take place. Tell them you are preparing a slideshow. Ask if you can come a little early and set up. Run your slideshow once to make sure that everything is set up properly and to work out any glitches.
