Snow effects school The unusual winter weather was also an important part of the year. Snow and ice, not usually a big part of winter in Waco, was more plentiful this year than in the past. lt snowed several times, but only four or five times was there a measure- able amount. Classes were can- celled twice because ofthe weather. Many people wonder why the WHS yearbook is called the Daisy Chain. Most think the name is strange, but they are unaware of its origin. Traditionally on Senior Recognition day, the graduating class passed a chain made of daisies to the junior class. In 1920, WHS began publishing a monthly magazine called the Daisy Chain. The magazine was later changed to a weekly newspaper. Because of confusion between names of the paper and the yearbook, a contest was held to choose a new name for the new- spaper. The name Huacoan was chosen. In 1941, Huacoan was changed to Wacoan. During this time the yearbook was known as the Daisy Chain. The yearbook and newspaper are still known by these names. ,F f 1 3 ' 1 1' 'T . if int.:
