One of the beefs from the 40th Reunion Warm Up was classmates should have had name tags. Nope. Being bold and figuring out who is who is half the fun. For the 50th, classmates were appropriately pinned.

Elementary Schools

It’s one thing to try to remember what we looked like in high school, but how about waaay back to Oconomowoc’s 10 elementary schools? We gathered up classmates by elementary school and including elementary school “class cards” for comparison.
