GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV)-- A lot has changed at East High School since Peter Dorschel graduated in 1930, but, his red devil pride has not.
Dorschel is East high school's oldest living alumnus.
At 99 years old this year will be Dorschel's 81st homecoming. He hasn't attended all of them but tries to.
"I have never forgotten it and i like it very well," said Dorschel, "I live in town and always have."
Dorschel's fondest memory of high school is playing on the golf and football team. He can remember playing football for the varsity team at the same time the packers played at the stadium.
He couldn't remember his grades, but east high principal Ed Dorff was able to remind him.
"Obviously your grades were pretty good, cause you went from here to Notre dame," Dorff told him.
Dorschel even got a look at his senior picture. Friday was not just a treat for him, but, for the school, to meet the oldest living alumnus.
"That was very special obviously because of how long ago he graduated he's obviously in pretty good health, and he's sharp so much fun," said Dorff.
Dorschel planned to attend the school's homecoming game Friday night. The Red Devils are taking on the Manitowoc Lincoln Ships.
