Harry Bahrick's research suggests that after 50 years, the person who originally learned the material at a higher level (in this case, you with an "A") will retain more of the information than someone who learned it at a lower level (your roommate with a "C"). Therefore, you are more likely to remember your Spanish vocabulary better than your roommate after 50 years.
