Summary
In “Horizons Unlimited,” the April 1968 Beaver Beacon argued that Beaver Island students needed broader social activities, athletics, home economics, and arts-and-crafts opportunities. It called for a substantial school-and- community youth program with a facility including a gymnasium, swimming pool, woodworking shop, and craft and home-economics space.
Evidence and limits
This is an editorial appeal and statement of perceived need. It does not document a funded project, an approved building, or a later program outcome.
