MENOMONIE — One hundred people attended the 100th annual alumni meeting of the Dunn County School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy on Sunday, September 16th at the Moose Lodge.
Dunn County School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy, was commonly called Dunn County Aggie. It was a high school in Menomonie and had all the classes as the Menomonie High School, only the boys had to take agriculture classes and the girls had to take home economics.
Dunn County Aggie closed in 1957, but there are many loyal graduates that want to keep the annual alumni meeting going for as long as they can.
President Lois Sipple called the meeting to order. Marvin Olson, secretary and treasurer, gave his reports and they were approved as read. The roll call was next and list of graduates who passed away in the last year was read.
