Summary
Beaver Island Community High School’s 1963 graduating class consisted of Carol Ann O’Donnell and Evelyn Palmer. The June Beaver Beacon reports a Beaver Lodge banquet, O’Donnell as valedictorian and Palmer as salutatorian, the orchid-and- white class colors, and a May 24 diploma service at Holy Cross Church.
Evidence and limits
This is a newspaper graduation report, not a school register, transcript, or independent ceremony program. It preserves the named class and ceremony but not a complete enrollment history.
Open questions
- Can school records identify the full class register and later education of the two graduates?
