Summary

The May 1972 Beaver Beacon names James Wogen and Joseph Kenwabikise as Beaver Island School graduates. It reports baccalaureate services at Holy Cross Church on May 21, a Junior-Senior Banquet at Holy Cross Hall, and commencement and a reception on May 24 in the parish church and hall.

James Wogen planned to study building construction at Ferris State College; Joseph Kenwabikise planned to join the United States Air Force later that year.

Evidence and limits

The report gives a source-level graduation sequence but no school transcript, certificate, complete roster, or independent records of either graduate’s later education or military service. It calls May 24 Friday, a weekday conflict left explicit rather than silently corrected.
