Summary

The Beaver Island School joined the Library Club of America reading program. Forty pupils qualified for membership, 35 earned an honor pin after six additional books, and an 11-name honor roll was printed.

Evidence and limits

The newspaper gives a partial honor roll and aggregate counts, not a full roster, gradebook, or institutional membership record. The program name is retained as printed.

Sources

The issue prints an 11-name honor roll but does not identify the program’s administering body beyond its printed name or preserve school records.
