Let’s take a look into the action-packed life of Case Beckman. Sacred Heart School never had a dull moment during the years that Case attended grade school there, especially when it came to sports. Case is now a senior at Ness City High School where he still manages to keep the excitement going. He participates in basketball, track, cross country, and also STUCO, band and KAYS. Case was a member of the Ness City Eagles cross country team the years they placed first and second at state. He was a very valuable member on the team. His love of sports probably explains why one of his favorite classes is PE.
Mrs. Kepple told a story in class one time about an argument she had with a lady. When Case told me it was his favorite story about Mrs. Kepple, it made me laugh because it’s also a story I like. Case also loves the memories he has of Ms. Eichenburger’s oral communications class last year. That’s because he was the only one in the class, and he got to goof around some of the time. Other favorites of Case’s are listening to modern rock music, playing X-box 360, watching UNC games and hanging out with his friends.
Sometimes Case orders a school lunch from Pizza Plus or goes to Mini Mart to eat. He told me those are his favorite kinds of school lunches. Then I asked him what he would do with the money if he won the lottery, and he said he would do some more work on his car for sure. Then he told me he would spend some of the money on stuff he probably didn’t really need. He also said he hoped he would be able to save some. If he saved up enough of it maybe he could start having his favorite types of school lunches every day. Too bad he’ll have to win the lottery first!
Case will definitely be missed when he leaves home to go to college. He plans to go to Fort Hays State University in Hays. It didn’t surprise me at all when Case stated that he wants to study Sports Science. The sports world will someday be grateful to have all the talents and achievements of Case Beckman. Good luck, Case, in all of your future undertakings!
