Water, water everywhere

High school bands show loads of spirit. But what to do if the name of your town is too long to put on the slide of your trombone? Waterville senior Cameron Mielke shortened it with the help of the periodic table of elements.
And while we're on the subject of Waterville, here's some trivia to add to the brain sludge: Although the town's name sounds like the area is awash in the hydrogen-oxygen compound, it turns out it's all relative.
From the town's website:

The building of a town on the location of Waterville was conceived by A.T. Greene, who is known as the "Father of Waterville." Mr. Greene relinquished one forty acre tract and he and surveyor J.M. Snow platted the town site. The town was named Waterville in consideration of the plentiful well in sharp contrast to the dry wells in Okanogan.
