Summary
The March 1976 Beaver Beacon announces May 5–10 spring trips for Beaver Island school groups; the May–June issue reports that all 70 students left the island on May 5 in three groups, by air during weather that stopped the ferry. The groups traveled through the Upper Peninsula, Grand Rapids, and Lansing/Kings Island before returning toward Charlevoix.
Evidence and limits
The May–June report establishes departure and broad itineraries, but not a complete student or chaperone roster, trip accounting, or one exact return date for all three groups.
