Our unofficial class biography

Picture
Historian at heart, classmate Al Paffrath has taken our high school years seriously - with a big dose of humor to keep things in perspective. You may have already enjoyed the writings he's shared at previous reunions. Al has released a new edition for our 50th reunion in July 2013. Thanks for helping us remember the details, Al!
"This is the year of the Great Culotte Controversy. The dress code at Winona High does not allow girls to wear either shorts or slacks to school. Culottes happen to fall under both these categories, and are banned. The fashions at Winona High this year include cardigan sweaters, Mohair pullovers, pleated skirts, "mad" fashions and the seersucker look."
