James White Reitres After 25 Years Service After serving 25 years on the school board, James White has decided to retire and move on to a life of relaxation. From 1951 through 1980, Mr. White served on the Adams Township School Board, the Adams -Summerhill Joint Board and finally on the current Forest Hills organization. During his tenure as a board member, he served as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. He also served on various committees of the board and represented the district in numer- ous organizations. Mr. White was likewise a member of the Cambria County Board of School Directors for several years. Just as Mr. White did his share in keeping the board on the move, so too the present board, headed by president Robert Beyer, continues to move on in keeping the district up to date in the field of education. Chief school administrator Dr. Robert Anderson, with his administrative staff, led the way in this moving on process. 12 • Administration

Business Moves Slowly Due To Rising Costs Keeping things on the move in the business end of the school program was the responsibility of Thomas Neff and his secretarial staff. Making up payrolls, running the lunch program and purchasing supplies and equipment were a few of the duties of the business office. Moving on in the face of inflation and rising costs of everything was a slow process. It meant cutting costs where possible and promoting economical use of re- sources. Maintaining a close relationship with the needs and purposes of the educational programs was a necessary aim of the business office. During the current term, one of the faithful staff members of the business office moved on” to retirement. Mrs. Helen Fornadel, after years of service, decided to retire. Her major concern in the business department was taking care of all cafeteria transactions. Above: Business office secretaries include Helen Fornadel, (seated).
