Having classmates that pass away before reaching their graduating year, would they be listed as guest in the year they were suppose to graduate?

I would still list them as the year they were supposed to graduate and as classmates.

We listed them with the year they would have graduated. It's really a good way to remember them even if they died years earlier.

I agree with Kyle and Buddy. We had one classmate who died in a car accident just before Freshmen year and included her as everyone remembered her.

Have a good Sunday all!

Someone who has passed is not a guest. He/She is still a member of your class whether graduated or not.

We list everyone who would have graduated with us but didn't, regardless of the reason why.

It is simply a choice of the administrator[s].
I know of a class who does not list them as a class member unless they attended graduation exercises!

Agree with Steve tho I failed to add that, we included all who not only died prior to graduation, 8th grade up was our HS, but also those who graduated elsewhere or didn't graduate at all. Had some wonderful visits with them and they were very appreciative of being included. High school is over, include them, and enjoy.

I agree, Bill. There is nothing better than to receive a Contact Us message from someone saying, 'We moved during ____ year but I'd love to get back in touch with my McHenry classmates.' I am for including everyone!
