MANY WAYS<br />
TO RECONNECT, REMINISCE<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> Mary’s was host to more than 600 alumni and their families during<br />
the <strong>2004</strong> Homecoming weekend June 18-20. Alumni from all class years were welcomed back to<br />
Terrace Heights, and special invitations went to those from anniversary classes ending in 4 and 9.<br />
The class <strong>of</strong> 1954 celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the class <strong>of</strong> 1979 celebrated its 25th.<br />
Kicking <strong>of</strong>f the first day <strong>of</strong> festivities was the 10th annual Homecoming golf outing at the<br />
Winona Country Club, along with a special dinner for alumni <strong>of</strong> 50 years and more; an alumni<br />
social was held in the Lillian Davis Hogan Galleries.<br />
On Saturday, more than 40 alumni and family members ran in the Gilmore Gallop 5k<br />
through the bluffs surrounding campus. The Distinguished Faculty Series featured Dr. William<br />

reunion party. In addition, many classes planned their<br />

During this summer’s Homecoming weekend,<br />
170 alumni and their families stayed on campus in<br />
residence halls and village apartments. It was a pleasure to have so<br />
