CAPTION: The year was 1978 and about 40 members and guests of the Onaway Lions
Club celebrated the local organization's 35th anniversary, Dec. 2, at a roast beef
banquet at George C. Garms Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Chartered June 1, 
1943, the 15-member group was the third Lions Club in northern lower Michigan.  The 
club's initial project was providing memorials for servicemen lost in the war.  With
membership fluctuating in 1978 between three and 50 men.  Pictured above, Aaron Curtis
and Newt Chapman, Jr., presented Onaway High School athletic director James Hall a check
for the purchase of new wrestling uniforms. In other Onaway news, Onaway's community
choir rehearsed for the Saturday concert at the school.  There was no admission, but 
donations were being accepted for the purchase of new music...And Brewbaker's had a sale
on microwaves. A Litton microwave was marked down 30 bucks to $429.  A Litton specialist
was expected to be on hand and cook a full-course meal.
