Seated: Mervin Ransom, John Buskirk, President; Alton Zimmerman, Vice-President. Standing: Donald Pence, Paul Molyet. On January 9, 1968, The Old Fort Board of Education reorganized. Mr. John Buskirk was elected President and Mr. Alton Zimmerman, Vice-President. The first Monday night of each month is the regular meeting time for the Board. With the help of a cup of coffee and rolls or doughnuts the men attempt to solve the many complex problems facing them. Many additional meetings have been held by Old Fort’s Board of Education. Re-organization is being considered very strongly. The Old Fort School Community owes much to these men who willingly devote much extra time to the business of making Old Fort School a good school. The community has expressed its loyalty many times by supporting and pass¬ ing every school tax levy presented. The Old Fort Board of Education is very grateful and appreciates the community’s trust in the members. This ex¬ cellent cooperation by every one has made Old Fort School one of the best schools in Seneca County.
