The Imlay City Schools Alumni Association is attempting to complete the collection of class composites on display in the hallway of the high school. However, there are a few missing years. In the early days a formal composite might not have been prepared, but rather a casual photo taken outside the school building and include all graduates.
If you know of anyone who might help us locate a photo or fill in missing information, please contact alumni secretary Marilyn Swihart at 810-724-1904 or message on Facebook.
