Summary

The Beaver Island Civic Association held its annual election on January 7, 1960. The notice lists Archie LaFreniere as president, Vernon Fitzpatrick as vice-president, Dorothy McGregor as secretary, and Rogers Carlisle as treasurer; Grace Nackerman, Lillian Gallagher, and Vernon Fitzpatrick are named as directors.

Evidence and limits

The newspaper gives no vote totals, terms, minutes, charter, or membership roll. The repeated appearance of Fitzpatrick as vice-president and director is preserved as printed rather than corrected from inference.
