1962
Longtime Waukon Teacher Is Honored

Cora Rueggenmeier, who has taught in Waukon schools 39 years, recently received a citation for her service as sponsor of the Waukon school Future Teachers Organization which she formed many years ago.

Miss Rueggenmeier, who teaches English and German, will teach in the Waukon school another year, completing 50 years of teaching in Iowa.

She was the first to teach normal training when that course was taught. She was the first agriculture teacher in Waukon.
