Summary
Beaver Island students participated in a 1963 conservation-oriented program that included monthly lectures and films, a September 27 parks-and-recreation lesson, and an October 30 biology field trip. The December issue adds a November 22 deer-herd lecture by game biologist Herbert Johnson and a December 2 bowling presentation by May Jordon.
Evidence and limits
The two newspaper notices describe educational activities but do not provide lesson plans, attendance, complete student work, or school-board records.
