Summary
The February 1960 Beaver Beacon publishes the Beaver Island Grade and High School honor roll. It identifies Mary Gallagher as valedictorian with a 2.66 average out of 3 and Darlene Schmidt as salutatorian with a 2.21 average; it also reports that Schmidt returned after Christmas in a wheelchair and passed her exams.
Evidence and limits
The article gives a source-level honor-roll roster but no school register, transcript, grading policy, or explanation of Schmidt’s medical condition. The other pupils remain source-listed names unless separately documented.
Open questions
- Can school records identify the complete 1959–1960 class roster and grading scale?
