Fisher served as clerk until April, 1944, when he retired following 44 years of consecutive service on Forreston school boards. He was succeeded by B. H. Unangst who served until May, 1954. G. R. Duitsman, the present secretary, succeeded Mr. Unangst. In 1954, a new state law became effective whereby two members were added to make a seven man board. In April, 1954, Warren Kaney was re-elected to a three year term and two new men were added: Paul Moring and Howard Scott. Glen McGraw replaced Herman Frey in 1956g Edward Ackerman took Warren Kaney's place in 19575 and Lester Schneiderman replaced Oscar Vietmeier in 1958.
