If you are not already on facebook, register for a membership. Make sure to join your school's alumni page at facebook, too. On this page, you may be able to locate former classmates. Once you find them, request to be your 'friend'. (Make sure to send a note saying who you are and that you are looking for old classmates). Once they approve your friendship, make sure to ask them if they have any contact information for former classmates.

Next, search for former classmates on facebook's 'search' box. Also, if you know the names of your old friends' children, you may want to search for their children. Chances are, their kids are on facebook and you may be able to contact their kids to get in touch with them.

Using that same technique, search for your former classmates' kids on MySpace. You probably won't find the 40+ crowd on MySpace, but more than likely, their kids are there. Always make sure to explain who you are when contacting them, otherwise, they might just delete your email without even reading it.

Another great website to use to find friends is Classmates.com. It is free to join, but if you want all of the options, such as reading emails, you will need to join their paid membership. They do have options of a few months to a year, and the prices reflect the amount of time for your membership, so you can determine which membership is best for you.

Finally, another resourceful website for finding former classmates if ZabaSearch.com. Here, you search for people by first name, last name and state. Successful searches will give you your friends' address and telephone number, but not their email address. Often times, more than one address and telephone number will appear, so you will have to contact both to find out which one is correct.
Good luck in your search for your upcoming class reunion!
