Plans continue to progress for the Waterville All-School Reunion, which is open to anyone who ever attended or was affiliated with the school, June 25-26.
In 1960, when the Waterville High School closed with students going to Waukon, the student census at the Waterville School for kindergarten through 12th grade was 323. Today the town of Waterville has a population of 143, but one can imagine that Saturday, June 25, when all roads lead to Waterville for reunion activities, that population will be bursting at the seams.
Activities will begin at 10 a.m. when the school, library, city hall, fire station and former Lutheran Church will be open for visitors to “remember when.” Perhaps reunion-goers were baptized, confirmed, married or attended church and Bible School at the church on the hill. City Hall and the library, whose sites connect, are home to the graduation class pictures. The City Hall will also be hosting a display of “old days in Waterville.”
