- e o, ohool Board , ' nor I. munus if Z r Sitting, l-r: Elmer Manka, Roy Williams, Charles Pilant. Standing: Larry Cox, Charles King, Harold Haines. We would like to express our gratitude to the Board of Education for their time and effort that has helped to make Kearney one of the best school systems in this area. Maintaining an adequate school system that's growing as rapidly as ours is, is a tough and demanding job and our board has done their part and more this past year. One of the board's major accomplishments was the passing of a bond allowing the construction of a new high school. Dr. Harry Pfeiffer was replaced on the school board by Larry Cox, and Kenneth Davis was appointed to finish the term of Roy Williams, who resigned. 108
