CONSOLIDATION After many years of a dual system of schools in German Township and the Archbold Village School Districts, an official movement to consolidate them was begun on March 20th, 1937. A resolution v as passed by the German Township Board on that date stating that “all schools under our jurisdiction be closed indefinitely at the end of the present school year, 1936-1937, and the pupils of the respective districts be assigned to the Archbold Village Schools....“ The various stages of petitioning, county board action , remonstrance, division of territory and numerous legal steps were duly taksn to complete the merger. The county board of education appointed th= following local board of edu- cation to control the consolidated district: Dr. E. A. Murbach. John Leupp, O. A. Bourquin, George Rupp. Harold Stotzer. The board was organized Monday, July 5th, 1937, according to law with Dr. Murbach, president; John Leupp, vice president, and A. T. Desboeufs. clerk-treasurer. Thus, on July 12th, 1937, the end of the remonstrance period, the district was officially consolidated and a new era was started. On Friday, November 5th, 1937, the little red schoolhouses that had served German Township for so long were sold at public auction and the dual system of former years became the Archbold-German Township Consolidated Schools.
