Surnames: Jaycees, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Junior Board of Trade Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kFB.2ACE/5343 Message Board Post: I'm researching the early history (1909-1929) of the Grand Rapids Junior Chamber of Commerce for a Masters degree in Nonprofit Leadership. The Jaycees started as a club for sons of members of the Grand Rapids Board of Trade (1909), later Association / Chamber of Commerce and soon became a boys club at Grand Rapids Central High School (1910) led by Principal Dr. Jesse Buttrick Davis among others. I'm interested in knowing what became of "the boys" identified from Central High School annuals and Chamber of Commerce magazines. Some died during WWI. If you will share any information (career, residence, memberships in other organizations, etc.) for any of the men listed below, I would appreciate it very much. Donald Abbott Milton P.
