The Class of 1978 gifted the marqui then named Calumet High School. The gift was presented at graduation held at Medina Temple, by the Senior Class Treasurer, Brenda Drummer. The Senior class president was Sandra Ball.

Mr. Biondi, chief music critic at radio station WLS (890 kHz), took time from his busy schedule to give a short talk to the assembled Calumet students, who once again enjoyed an opportunity to be excused from regular classes.

Below are two photographs taken backstage showing Mr. Biondi carefully checking his notes shortly before his appearance.

Now we know why generations of Calumet chemistry students lived to tell about their bungled experiments...  :)

(As an interesting (?) aside, the foreground of the photograph shows a nice shot, not of the chemistry lab, but of the auditorium, which, I assume, did not really require acid-proof drain-pipes.)
