Check Out this Pin

I found this pin while detecting a high school. The school goes a ways back. It was built sometime before 1950. The back of the pin is stamped with 1/10 10K so I'm assuming it's gold. The actual size comes in smaller than a dime. I'm thinking it is a tie pin for a necktie.
I'm also thinking it is from a club or society at the school. I Googled "MCGS", "MeGS" but couldn't find anything. I also entertained the thought that the GS maybe stands for grade school.

What area of the state, (I assume MI) was it found in?

What cities are closest?

Not MI, NH.

Well, I'm back at it. Seeing that I haven't found the answer (and I'm staring out the window at the latest of Ole-Man Winter's handiwork...).
I've been racking my brain trying on any Google combinations that might lead to a valid image to compare.

Fraternal Pins
School Lapel Pin
10k Tie Tack
Girl Scout Sash Pin
High School Society Acronyms
MCGS Diamond Blue
ETC, ETC, ETC

I'm open to any suggestions. Throw em' at me! Maybe there's something I've forgotten. I'd love to know the origin of this pin.
