Joker's Class History It all started one day ln August in 1948, when 40 Freshmen entered Miles High School with hopes of becomlng the class of '52. There were twenty boys and twenty girls in the first three rows of the assembly, but about a week after classes had started, Francis Culier, who almost completely lost his sight, and was forced to leave school. lt was a noisy day in September when the Freshmen came to school dressed up for Initiation Day. The senior class that year dldn't leave out a single detail for us to wear or bring. Our superintendent was Conrad Recktenwald and his wife, Helen Recktenwald, who taught the girls cooking in flrst year home economics. Nora Wagener was our English instructor and W. D. Standley was coach, shop and general science teacher. Barbara Jones, now Mrs. Carroll Hamilton, taught us general business and we had some wonderful class parties. We even were invited to go to Dubuque on a fleld trlp with the tenth grade. Our sophomore year started out very well because we were finally an accepted class of high school. O. C. Sutherland came as superintendent that year and also was the algebra teacher. Ann Bartlett took over home economics and Nora Wagener was back for English. Coach Standley, now better known as Stan , was our instructor ln agriculture and shop. Louise Molin was music ln- structor. Dwane Kyarsgaard left in March bringing our class down to 28 but Allen Schultz came and brought the enrollment back up again. We took quite a few fleld trips for agriculture to various farms. Stan was our class sponsor and onae again we had some fun at class parties. I don't think any of us will ever forget ice skating on the Misslsslppl. The 1950 school year started with us as full fledged juniors and ready for one of the biggest years of our school career. Marilyn King, now Mrs. Kenneth Row dldn't return that year and Juanita Mangler, now Mrs. Arthur Johnson, quit at the end of the first semester. 0. C. Sutherland was our superintendent again Coach Standley was back and had first-class teams in both girls and boys bukerbgll, Nora Wagener was our English teacher and directed our class play, 15
