How soon it passes! The Waseca County News has a story this week about the addition of a new school-sponsored winter-themed dance to the Waseca High School schedule called the ‘Snow Ball.’
An item mentioned in the Look Back in Waseca History for December 11 – December 17 noted that the winter-themed Junior-Senior Reception’s theme at Waseca Central High School in 1956 was, perhaps you guessed it, “Snowball.” What goes around, comes around!
When did Waseca High School stop the tradition of a Junior-Senior Reception?
The Guardian Unlimited, a British paper, reported “Much mirth was made in the media of Waseca’s town slogan – Waseca: For an hour… for a lifetime” when the disgraced former Enron chief executive Jeffrey Skilling finally showed up at Waseca’s Federal Prison Camp to begin serving his sentence.
I took a trip by phone to Waseca today to talk to our 1946-47 Kindergarten teacher, Miss (Elaine) Beise. She became Mrs. Fox when she married Jim Fox during the school year. We had a good chat. She said she’d share some of her kindergarten memorabilia with us. Jim sent me an email telling me that, as newlyweds, he and Elaine moved into the house our Lucas family lived in at 308 4th Ave NE. Our family lived in that house when I started kindergarten. Jim described the house as their “honeymoon cottage.” Waseca Central Kindergarten Class 1946-47
