but most genealogists are wise and gracious, so you'll get some good ones here.

Geocities or MySpace. You could also devote a section of some class member's personal domain to the class, or a section of some member's personal web site on one of the big ISP's.

That is, assuming you went to Pleasant Valley High,
www.johnsmith.org/PVHS1984/
or
www.aol.com/members/johnsmith/...

The local newspaper may run notices as a public service. When we had ours, we made sure the school office had contact info - name, address, phone, e-mail, URL.

While I'm giving advice about reunions, here:

The single most important thing you can do to insure a good time is talk to the DJ before hand. The people who never left town and see each other every week at PTA, soccer practice, poker night etc. are going to want to dance. The ones who did leave town and flew 1,500 miles to attend are going to want to talk, and they are not going to want to shout over the music.

The ideal solution, if you can afford it, is to hire two rooms. Unless you are from Beverly Hills High, you won't be able to do that. Having the music "on" for 30 minutes, the off for 30 would be a reasonable compromise. Promise the DJ the same amount of money as if he played all night. Impress upon him the desire of half the audience to talk. Reunions are not the same as dances or concerts. People (some people) want quiet time, to talk. Keep hammering that home to the DJ. If neccessary, tattoo it on his forehead backwards and give him a mirror. Appoint a "Quiet time" monitor.

I hear "It was a nice reunion, but the DJ ruined it" a dozen times a year from friends and family.
