Michigan Trophy Mirror Dedication

The Michigan trophy was awarded yearly by the University of Michigan Alumni Club of Utica. It was awarded on the basis of votes which were cast by each school in Herkimer, Oneida, Madison, Jefferson and Chenango counties and by the Utica and Rome daily papers. A December 7, 1925 article in The Evening Telegram reported that the school which could win the trophy in three consecutive years would retain permanent possession of the trophy.

In 1925, Herkimer had been awarded the trophy for two consecutive years. That streak was ended, for later years, The Michigan Trophy sat in the Trophy Case of Ilion High School.
