#3. Name Tags

We based our 40th reunion around what Junior High you attended. What this did was to provide those people who felt like they didn't know anyone once they entered the huge Wilson Campus to find those people that they would remember - from their Junior High school more easily. Our name tags were color coded per what high school you went to. Large and very readable. This meant that if you saw someone across the way with the same color badge (like Red for Rogers) then most likely you would know them. Didn't we know mostly everyone back then?! This does away with the awkwardness of going up to someone, staring at their name tag and saying "Oh, I thought I knew you... guess not!"
Since I would have all of the high school senior pics scanned in for their bios, I will also make up all of the name tags for you on Avery peel off labels.

Here is a sample of a name tag:



We also had 4 x 6 foam core boards for the 4 main junior high schools attended with photos from that time period. This gave another place for those who didn't know too many people at Wilson to congregate.) However, these would be made up by your committee.
