Show BINGHAM HIGH SCH00LN0TES SEVENTH GRADE ENJOYS TRIP The students of the seventh grade visited the Purity Biscuit company on their annual class trip on April 18. The sight which was probably the most interesting interest-ing was the quickness with which soda crackers were made. The view was excellent as we saw it from a balcony. The employees are extremely fast and the women wo-men have no make-up on while working. As we were leaving the building, three employees gave us some cookies and we all thought that was very nice. We then went to the state capitol building. Upon entering the building we went to the basement where we found exhibits of the industry and resources of Utah. We wandered wand-ered around until our advisers, R. H. Bailey and Earl Cox, came and told us our guide was waiting wait-ing for us. The talk was very interesting about the capitol, the gold room, and the marble pillars. pil-lars. The pillars had some sort of design of faces of men and animals. There was an Indian Maiuc oi Massasoit, who was protector and preserver of the Pilgrims. After the talk about the Indian In-dian statue we walked into the beautiful gold room. This wonderful wond-erful sight cannot be described to give justice to its beauty. The curtains which hang in each window were made by an Italian woman who worked two years making the four pairs six months on a pair. The woman received $2,000 for this wonderful wonder-ful work. The curtains have been hanging for 25 years. The picture pic-ture above the walnut table cost me staie $a,uuu. ine mirrors which hang from each side of the wall are French mirrors. No person has ever sat at the walnut wal-nut table. Four presidents have visited the gold room in the capitol building of Utah. Some European Euro-pean Royalties have also come to see this wonderful room. The guide said that the gold room was fit for a king. The guide left us and again we looked around for about 45 minutes. min-utes. Then we went to the skating skat-ing rink where over 100 students skated. Some of the seventh graders were falling and others laughing. When coming home, we could see the "B" up on the hill which had been whitewashed that day and it was very clean.' The trip gave us a lot of information and also a lot of entertainment. June Ishimatsu R. 0. T. C. BAND ENTERTAINS STUDENTS The R.O.T.C. band of the Utah State Agricultural college in Logan Lo-gan visited the Bingham high school on Wednesday morning, April 23 and presented a very entertaining concert. The band was under the direction of Pro-3 lessor Stein of the college, and two girls from the college acted as mistresses of ceremony and introduced each number. A novelty number which appealed ap-pealed to the students a great leal, was the tune, "Three Blind Mice", which was rendered by a trio of flutes. Another novelty number was the siory, "Uncle Tom's Cabin", which was narrated narra-ted by the mistresses of ceremony cere-mony and musical effects were given by the band. These made the story very humorous. The program was concluded by the playing of "The Stars and Stripes Forever", which was played marvelously by the band and made us all proud that we are citizens of the United States. We wish to thank Professor Stein and all the members of the band for a most entertaining entertain-ing program and we shall look forward to a visit from them again in the future. John Anderson |
